The massive bone blade was pure white all over, straight from head to toe, with only a slight curve visible at the tip.
The Bone Blade Flame Demon possessed two most important things: one was its magic crystal, and the other was its bone blade, both nurtured from the essence of its lifetime.
This bone blade was a natural divine weapon, with blood-red patterns flashing back and forth on its blade—that was its blade.
When the power of flame is infused into the bone blade, it can unleash its sharp aura. Long Chen knew the terror of the Bone Blade Flame Demon, but never expected to encounter it himself.
"Seeing that my old weapon didn't work well and gave me a divine weapon, the Chu family really is being polite."
Long Chen stroked the bone knife, feeling the surging energy inside it. He thought the Chu family was being too generous.
Long Chen reached out to pull the bone knife, but it only trembled slightly. Long Chen was startled—he hadn't expected it to be this heavy.
The corpse of the Bone Blade Flame Demon was thrown to him by the three-eyed creature. He collected it directly, not noticing its weight.
Now, reaching out to grab it, he realized the bone knife was incredibly heavy—far heavier than the black blade.
With a loud explosion, the massive bone blade was pulled out of the chaotic space by Long Chen and landed on the ground, shaking the entire mountain into shock.
"Wow, it's dozens of times heavier than the black blade."
Long Chen looked amazed. This bone knife was even more terrifying than he had imagined. Now he had hit it rich.
Long Chen bit his finger and drew a symbol onto the bone knife. His expression was solemn. This was an ancient sacrificial ritual he had read about in ancient texts, though Long Chen wasn't sure if it would work.
Long Chen used his own essence blood as a guide to form a contract with the blade. The bone blade had no soul, so Long Chen needed his own essence blood to forge its spirit, so the bone blade would have its own soul.
In the Immortal Realm, when forging artifacts, once the grade reaches a certain level, one can infuse them with spirit. However, spirit infusion is extremely cruel—one must tame the souls of certain living beings and then inject them into their own puppets.
Only king-level artifact spirits are soul-infused by the heavenly Dao, not artificially created. However, there is also an ancient ritual that can use one's own essence blood to infuse divine weapons.
However, this kind of infusion has basically been lost, and Long Chen wasn't confident it would succeed. But if he didn't use it, how could such a large blade be used? You can't just carry it and smash people!
"Buzz!"
Long Chen's bloodline runes were actually absorbed by the bone knife. Immediately, a blood-red pattern appeared on the bone blade, within which a stream of blood energy flowed back and forth.
"It actually worked?" "This luck ...," Long Chen was overjoyed. He hadn't expected that he would have such a stroke of luck—succeeding on the first try.
As that blood flowed through the patterns for a full cycle, the bone knife trembled slightly. At that moment, Long Chen felt a sense of familiarity atop the bone blade.
"Haha, it's done!"
Long Chen was overjoyed, pressing his hand against the long blade. The hundred-zhang long blade slowly shrank until it shrank to only seven feet long. Holding it in his hand, Long Chen's palm trembled slightly, making it hard to hold onto it.
The blade was seven feet long and two inches wide, with an extremely thin blade. The reduced bone blade exuded an astonishing sharpness. Long Chen gripped it, feeling a chill run through his skin.
"Ssshh" Long Chen's
blade tip pointed downward, the blade seeming to pierce into tofu, easily slicing through the hard rock.
"Such a powerful blade! No wonder the bone blade, the Flame Demon, was flattened, but this blade remains unscathed. This weight is incredible."
Looking at the bone knife, his eyes were filled with excitement. This bone knife was probably not much worse than an ordinary royal artifact.
Especially this bone knife, when scaled down, looks like ivory, white and white like jade, making it more and more impressive the more you look at it.
Moreover, by showing this sword, Long Chen had elevated his own status significantly. Black clothes paired with white blades created an indescribable style.
"Big or small, long or short, do whatever you want, hehe, so cool."
Right now, Huo Ling'er is still absorbing the magic crystal. When she recovers, she'll try to infuse the power of flame into the bone knife to see what changes will happen. "Long Chen stroked the bone knife, overjoyed.
However, he didn't dare touch the blade, because the sharp edge was already tingling his skin before even touching it. Long Chen had never imagined that a bone knife could be so sharp.
This bone knife could cut through treasures as easily as cutting tofu. Long Chen was simply obsessed with it.
Long Chen even wanted to be like other swordsmen, carrying the bone knife on his back to look cool. But that idea was only for now—keeping your wealth hidden is the real truth.
Two days later, the Luo family's spies reported that all members of the Chu family they knew had been wiped out, and even some families who had intermarried with the Chu family were implicated. Anyone with Chu family blood had been executed.
It can be said that the Chu family lineage was completely severed. The tens of thousands of years of feud between the Luo and Chu families had finally been settled in their generation.
Inside the Luo family hall, Long Chen, Luo Changwu, Luo Changwen, the Grand Elder, and eleven other core elders who had participated in the surprise attack on the Chu family had all gathered together.
Regarding the Chu family's downfall, everyone studied the future direction of the Luo family. For some reason, after the Chu family's downfall, all the Luo family's strong members held their heads high, but after that glory, they felt somewhat lost.
"Actually, the Chu family is just a small obstacle for us. Our Luo family are descendants of Purple Blood, and we must never forget our mission.
Our next target is the place the clan leader is headed. After the battle with the Chu family, thanks to Long Chen, I have already taken that step..." Luo Changwen said.
Only then did Long Chen realize why Luo Changwen's aura was different—he had already stepped into the half-step Immortal King realm.
The elders couldn't help but be overjoyed. This was truly a fantastic event. Now, even without the clan leader, Luo Changwen could still support the entire Luo family.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Long Chen gratefully. Because Long Chen's Bloodstrike Pill had allowed them to sense the blood energy of a half-step Immortal King in advance, it was as if they were pushing them forward. Several people had already faintly touched that barrier, paving a path for them to advance to half-step Immortal King in the future.
"But everyone, please don't let your guard down. Because of me, Empuda has suffered a big loss and definitely won't let it go.
I'll pack up in a bit and head back to Lingxiao Academy. From now on, the Luo clan will be my second home. If you have any difficulties, just let me know.
The Luo family should keep a low profile lately, and I'll try to attract Empuda's attention. Long Chen said, he couldn't stay too long at the Luo family, or else Empuda might target the Luo family in the future.
"Then you must be very careful. That Blood Killing Order is extremely terrifying." Luo Changwu reminded him.
"Hehe, don't worry. I'm not a careless person, and besides, Empuda keeps giving me gifts—how could I possibly turn them away?" Long Chen chuckled.
When Long Chen said this, everyone laughed. Who would have thought that the Chu family's mobilization of the Underworld would lead to their own destruction?
Even the royal artifact, the pill furnace, was taken by Long Chen. That was the supreme treasure, and the gift was truly too heavy.
That very day,
Long Chen returned to Lingxiao Academy with Qin Feng, Luo Bing, and others. As soon as they entered, a disciple ran over: "
Senior Brother Long Chen, you're finally back! Countless powerful figures from beyond the realm have come and want to challenge you."
"There's also a powerful figure from beyond the domain, said to be your friend. He says his surname is Zheng and he's been waiting for you all day."
"Zheng Wenlong is here?"
Long Chen couldn't help but feel overjoyed. This guy had finally arrived. Without another word, Long Chen headed straight for the inner sect.
