Chapter 146: Demon Annihilation Erosion Blade

Inside the dark and silent metal chamber.

A faint milky white light bloomed, gently illuminating the entire chamber.

At the same time, the metal chamber was embedded with isolation arrays within the metal walls.

External energy fluctuations and even loud noises could not affect the internal environment.

After resting for a while, Gu Nie, seated cross-legged on the cultivation platform, steadily began to施展 the Puppet Secret Thread.

As the Puppet Secret Thread, fused with the World Essence, spread out,

soon the entire chamber was completely isolated from the outside world by the Puppet Secret Thread and World Essence.

Then Gu Nie closed his eyes to rest, secretly releasing his soul to carefully sense.

After all, being on someone else's turf, Gu Nie naturally needed to be extremely cautious.

After more than ten minutes,

Gu Nie, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them.

"Indeed, no one is secretly spying on me."

Gu Nie thought to himself.

Then, raising his hand, three volumes of a caster's "Essence Scripture" appeared in Gu Nie's hand.

Originally, Gu Nie thought that this force with a demigod-level powerhouse in the "Holy Feather Dark Source Large Supernatural World" would not possess Essence Scriptures.

After all, in a large supernatural world, the number of Essence Scriptures is not small.

Who would have thought that this force's foundation seemed quite deep, not only possessing caster Essence Scriptures,

but also a full three volumes.

The only pity was that

two of these three Essence Scriptures were damaged.

In fact, one of the two damaged ones was essentially in a fragmented state, with little cultivation value.

The other damaged one, though not as severely broken, only had some learning value, not high cultivation value.

Only one of them was intact and cultivable.

Still, being able to obtain a complete Essence Scripture was quite satisfying for Gu Nie.

With a flip of his hand, he took out the three Essence Scripture scrolls.

Gu Nie began to receive the inheritance through contact medium.

This time, Gu Nie received the inheritance very slowly, carefully sensing the many subtleties as he received it.

Even the fragments of information in the damaged scrolls could sometimes be of great use.

A full hour and a half later, Gu Nie finally finished inheriting the three ancient Essence Scriptures.

"Huh..."

Slowly gathering his mind, Gu Nie opened his eyes.

"Those two damaged Essence Scriptures are not worth mentioning; they are of little use to me, their damage level not even enough to put on the auto-cultivation slot."

"The one that is of great use to me is this 'Demon Annihilation Erosion Blade.'"

Gu Nie said softly.

"The Demon Annihilation Erosion Blade is a spell with broad accommodating characteristics, equivalent to a universal spell, into which various essences can be integrated to enhance combat."

"My World Essence, Darkness Essence, and Destruction Essence can all be perfectly infused into it and then unleashed with the Demon Annihilation Erosion Blade."

"As an essence-containing spell, its power is quite formidable, and the more essences integrated, the stronger its power."

"The core of the Demon Annihilation Erosion Blade is its cutting ability; it has destructive cutting power and also has an erosion effect on the cut surface. That is, once cut, healing is extremely difficult, basically impossible to heal in battle."

"And this is exactly the literal meaning of 'Erosion Blade.'"

"What is rare is that, as an Essence Scripture, the Demon Annihilation Erosion Blade's function goes far beyond this."

"By continuously cultivating the Demon Annihilation Erosion Blade and integrating essence laws into it, I can constantly improve my control over essences."

"Improving essence control through cultivation of scriptures is far more effective than simply training with ordinary methods."

"At the same time, as the Demon Annihilation Erosion Blade is cultivated and its level rises, more powerful forms will appear later."

"Not to mention others, when the Demon Annihilation Erosion Blade is cultivated to the third level, if one's control is strong enough and essence is abundant enough, one can unleash its second form."

"The basic Demon Annihilation Erosion Blade's power is already at the level of a mid-grade Secret Pattern spell; with essence infusion, its power can easily rise to the level of a high-grade Secret Pattern spell."

"And once the second form can be displayed, it is truly a terrifying power at the level of a forbidden spell."

"Multiple forms, complex attacks, high permeability of power, perfect infusion of various essence spells, and the ability to continuously increase power as one's own strength grows, without needing to abandon the scripture due to improvement—this is the power of Essence Scriptures."

As he pondered, a smile gradually appeared on Gu Nie's face.

Then he opened the system, thought for a moment, and removed the Dark Inscription Arcane Channel, which had reached level five, from the seventh auto-cultivation slot.

He placed the Demon Annihilation Erosion Blade on it.

After a moment, experience points floated up.

Experience: 68.

This experience value was exactly at the level of a mid-grade Secret Pattern scripture.

"26 spell syllables, just enough for me to cast instantly, but my current soul capacity is not enough to casually unleash hundreds of mid-grade Secret Pattern spells. After I advance to the sixth rank and my soul becomes more robust, I can easily unleash mid-grade Secret Pattern spells."

"At the same time, the consumption of 20 source units is not small; stable improvement of source power expansion is sufficient."

"Moreover, as my soul grows stronger, the effective radiation range of spells becomes wider."

"All these comprehensive aspects will undergo a full transformation after I advance to Arcane Master."

Now, Gu Nie had begun to prepare for the breakthrough to the Arcane Master level.

For those sixth-rank peak powerhouses who had not comprehended or had very little comprehension of runic essences, they needed to accumulate and slowly hone their runic essence comprehension over time.

But for Gu Nie, it was completely unnecessary.

Gu Nie only needed to steadily advance to the peak of the sixth rank and then break through directly.

In terms of essences, Gu Nie could be said to have already surpassed the vast majority of Arcane Masters.

After placing the Demon Annihilation Erosion Blade on auto-cultivation,

Gu Nie consumed some "True·Mystic Source Fruit" and used some "Deep Blue Source Crystal," then gathered his mind again and focused on the upcoming "sacrifice."

Gu Nie possessed a "True Name."

And using his independent blood pool world, he could accept sacrifices from altars without any problem.

But the problem was that Gu Nie was still relatively weak, after all, only at the fifth rank, not even an Arcane Master.

If the distance was extremely far, the sacrifice might not be very effective.

Fortunately, this time, Gu Nie was near the site of the sacrifice.

By strengthening the sacrifice channel through sacrificial items, accepting items from a distant sacrifice would be easy.

But the only problem was that Gu Nie had never actually performed a sacrifice.

The ability to accept sacrificial items was only theoretically feasible.

Therefore, one of Gu Nie's goals during this secluded cultivation was to attempt his own sacrifice.

Gu Nie would perform the sacrifice, and the demon deputy soul stationed in the blood sea would receive it.

I sacrifice, I receive.

After some thought, Gu Nie began to set up a small altar.

"Fortunately, I have studied altarology."

"Building a simple altar is not too difficult."

Inside the small chamber, Gu Nie took out some construction materials with supernatural characteristics, various source-power-containing materials, materials for constructing source energy arrays, etc., and began to build a miniature altar.

About three hours later,

a small altar only half a meter high, with a total of five layers, was constructed by Gu Nie.

Looking at the small altar he had built, Gu Nie chuckled softly.

"Although it is a bit crude and small, it is indeed an altar."

As Gu Nie input source power,

the source power circuits began to activate, accompanied by the operation and blooming of the source energy array.

With a "hum,"

the entire altar was lit up.

Then, a faint beam of light about the thickness of an arm shot up from the top of the altar, straight to the ceiling of the chamber.
