Chapter 1528: Chapter 51: Blade Demon Energy

Ten minutes later, Su Xiao already understood Marvin Hwaltz’s concept. This is a very crazy idea, or rather, only a very few Shadows of Annihilation Law would do this.

The so-called Awakening of the Blade is actually turning Dragon Slash from a dead object to a living one. Of course, this doesn’t mean giving Dragon Slash consciousness or producing an artifact spirit-like existence, but rather injecting a small part of Su Xiao’s intention into Dragon Slash. This is the normal process of Awakening of the Blade.

Marvin Hwaltz’s proposal is insane. He suggested that Su Xiao inject Blade Demon Energy into Dragon Slash, using Dragon Slash as a vessel to make the Blade Demon his own.

There are indeed Shadows of Annihilation Law who have done this, but with Su Xiao’s current strength, and without a specific environment, it is nearly impossible.

According to Marvin Hwaltz, if Su Xiao doesn’t do this now, he may not have the chance in the future. He is different from other Shadows of Annihilation Law as he doesn’t have the resources and facilities of the Annihilation Law Hall. It’s hard to make the Demon Blade Phantom his own on his own.

As Su Xiao continues to grow stronger, the Demon Blade Phantom will also gradually grow. This thing appeared after Su Xiao gained the Core of Devour Ability and is actually one of the energies inside Su Xiao. It grows with Su Xiao’s growth but is uncontrollable.

The larger the Demon Blade Phantom grows, the less likely it can be injected into Dragon Slash. But now, Su Xiao has such an opportunity because the Blade Demon Energy is already dormant, which means Su Xiao’s strength suddenly surpasses the Blade Demon Energy, forcing it to grow through slumber.

Marvin Hwaltz’s idea is simple and crude. He knows that a previous Shadow of Annihilation Law once injected the Blade Demon into a companion weapon. When he sensed that Su Xiao had already undergone the Awakening of the Blade, he thought of that predecessor and went to the world where that Shadow of Annihilation Law had awakened his blade.

According to Marvin Hwaltz, the Blade Demon Sealing Device left by that previous Shadow of Annihilation Law should still be intact, as it is extremely solid.

The issue is, Marvin Hwaltz knows which world the Blade Demon Sealing Device is in, but not its specific location; Su Xiao needs to enter that world to find it. The ring Marvin Hwaltz gave Su Xiao is somewhat like a World Key.

If Su Xiao uses this, he can enter a world without tasks. In that world, he cannot obtain treasure chests, World Source, or even bring anything out of it. The goal is to find the Blade Demon Sealing Device and inject Blade Demon Energy into Dragon Slash to complete the Awakening of the Blade. At that time, Dragon Slash can be promoted to a higher quality and awaken a certain ability.

Even without other gains, it is undoubtedly worth it. Besides, Su Xiao is already preparing to participate in the Top Battlefields of the Pirate World. As long as his strength improves a bit more, he can attempt to confront the Naval Admirals head-on.

Although Su Xiao’s current strength hasn’t reached Admiral Level combat effectiveness yet, it’s already very close. Once he elevates Sword Technique Grandmaster to Level 15 or above and completes the Awakening of the Blade for Dragon Slash, he will qualify to participate in the Top Battlefields. No, by that time, he would actually be one of the main combat forces in the Top Battlefields.

Additionally, Su Xiao wouldn’t just use this Witch Ring to enter that unknown world. The reason he can’t get treasure chests or tasks is because he didn’t pay the Power of Space-time, which is the major difference between this Witch Ring and a World Key. Conveniently, Su Xiao has a coin containing the Power of Space-time, and combining the two might have some miraculous effects.

"Whether or not to do this is something you need to carefully consider, but remember one thing: the ’Blade Demon Sealing Device’ hasn’t been used for a long time. You need to prepare crystals of a similar nature to this object. It’s key to starting the ’Blade Demon Sealing Device’, requiring at least 1000 grams."

As Marvin Hwaltz spoke, he tossed Su Xiao a fingernail-sized crystal.

"Consciousness Conduction Resin"

Origin: Void

Quality: Legendary Tier

Type: Material (60 grams)

Effect 1: Can conduct, seal, and block consciousness-related energy.

Rating: 425 points

Description: Extremely rare material.

Selling Price: 157,000 Paradise coins

...

When Su Xiao saw the selling price of "Consciousness Conduction Resin", his head began to throb faintly with pain. The 60 grams of ’Consciousness Conduction Resin’ is priced at 157,000 Paradise coins, and the 1000 grams price would be 2.6 million Paradise coins. Note, this is the selling price to Reincarnation Paradise, not the price when purchasing from other Contractors.

However, after receiving the "Consciousness Conduction Resin," Su Xiao suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had obtained something similar before.

"Incidentally, constructing that ’Blade Demon Sealing Device’ cost about the equivalent of 700 kilograms of Consciousness Conduction Resin. Considering that the ’Blade Demon Sealing Device’ has been in disrepair for years, if the Blade Demon Energy inside you is too strong, it’s uncertain whether that device will be useful. You must seize this chance. It is unknown how many years it would take to build a ’Blade Demon Sealing Device’ alone.

To use modern terms, when we made the ’Blade Demon Sealing Device’, it was outsourced to the Silintes Dwarves, and it took them roughly 170 years, even under the premise that we saved their entire race.

One race spent 170 years crafting nineteen ’Blade Demon Sealing Devices’. By the way, the Silintes Dwarves are one of the most skilled races in manufacturing in the Void, and the Tower of the Void was also made by them. That thing still stands firm in the Void now."

Marvin Hwaltz’s intentions were evident: this is a one-time opportunity, and individually manufacturing a ’Blade Demon Sealing Device’ is almost impossibility.

"Understood."

Su Xiao put away the ring and the crystal. The ring is an item akin to a World Key, and the crystal is the key to activating the ’Blade Demon Sealing Device’, requiring a total of 1000 grams.

"Time is almost up. Good luck to you."

As soon as Marvin Hwaltz finished speaking, Su Xiao felt the sensation of spatial pull—this world was beginning to reject him.

Soon, Su Xiao was enveloped by the Power of Space and disappeared from the spot.

"Darn, I forgot to tell him that the witches in that world are very unfriendly."

Marvin Hwaltz slapped his thigh. This time he really forgot, unlike previous times when it was ’selective forgetfulness’.

Marvin Hwaltz is very reliable sometimes, but some trivial matters are not so reliable.

"Little Cutie, wake up. Although the one with more than 400 stars is gone, I’ll summon a ten-star one for you to get by with..."

...

When Su Xiao regained consciousness, he was already back in his personal room. Awakening of the Blade wasn’t as simple as he had imagined, and it’s even related to the Demon Blade Phantom.

The Demon Blade Phantom is like a time bomb within Su Xiao. As long as he uses the Core of Devour, there’s a risk of Blade Demonization. If the Blade Demon Energy can be made his own, irrespective of the power boost, just being able to freely utilize the Core of Devour would be worth the risk.

With Su Xiao’s current strength, he can’t solve the hidden threat of Blade Demon Energy, but Marvin Hwaltz provided a chance. Although Marvin Hwaltz is not always reliable, as a tutor, or rather, concerning serious matters, he is very dependable.

Su Xiao was able to gain many benefits in the Bleach World because he could freely use the Core of Devour to create Spirit Particle Balls, resulting in Spiritual Pulses and Spirit Bombs.

Sitting cross-legged on the carpet to think for a while, Su Xiao decided to temporarily set aside the matter of the Awakening of the Blade to first enhance his strength before focusing on this issue.

By his personal habit, he first headed straight for the Attribute Strengthening Hall.

Half an hour later, Su Xiao was meditating in the fast-operating Attribute Enhancement Cabin, with a way of allocating 14 True Attributes: Power +3, Agility +3, Stamina +4, Intelligence +4.

When the Attribute Enhancement Cabin stopped running, Su Xiao checked his own attributes, and his unadorned attributes were as follows:

Power: 96

Agility: 96

Stamina: 97

Intelligence: 96

...

Counting the true attribute bonuses from the King of Demon Hunting, Su Xiao’s Power attribute reached 101, Agility 100, and Stamina attribute also reached 100.

Interestingly, Su Xiao’s Power attribute didn’t reach 101; not only that, Agility and Stamina attributes were all displayed as 99. The situation is as follows.

Power: 99 (King of Demon Hunting +5, actual bonus 3)

Agility: 99 (King of Demon Hunting +4, actual bonus 3)

Stamina: 99 (King of Demon Hunting +3, actual bonus 2)

Intelligence: 96

...

Su Xiao attempted to consult Reincarnation Paradise.

[Prompt: Insufficient Hunter Permission.]

After a simple prompt, there was no more explanation. If Su Xiao guessed correctly, he can only raise the four true attributes to a bare level of 99; this is a certain extent an extreme, as well as a key to advancing to the fifth tier.
