317: Inventory of Wumo-level items

In the evening, the sea became even more profoundly mysterious. In the distance, the horizon still burned with a red sunset, reflecting on the undulating waves, coloring them like spreading flames, flickering, rolling, one wave higher than the last.

Until the fire in the sky slowly extinguished, and the flames of the sea gradually dimmed, the world transformed into pitch black.

Looking from afar, the dim sea surface rippled in layers, and the sea breeze also lessened, as if the entire world gradually calmed down at this moment.

Splash!

Beneath the calm sea surface.

A figure suddenly burst out of the sea.

And landed steadily on the ship.

"My kill count is 540,000."

Xiao Shi glanced at the Demonic Body Clone beside him.

At this moment, the Demonic Body Clone's expression was filled with shock, disbelief, and... fear!

Although under Xiao Shi's control, the Demonic Body Clone no longer had the intention of killing Xiao Shi, he still harbored a competitive spirit.

After realizing such a vast disparity between himself and Xiao Shi.

His entire being was subjected to an immense shock.

So much so that his body trembled, his fists clenched, and his teeth gnashed loudly.

He wished he could immediately jump into the sea.

And compete with Xiao Shi again.

In fact, in terms of strength, they were not far apart.

Xiao Shi was only slightly stronger than the Demonic Body Clone.

However, the means and abilities he possessed were far more numerous than those of the Demonic Body Clone.

The Demonic Body Clone's strength lay primarily in single-target attacks.

For example, in a one-on-one situation.

The Demonic Body Clone could unleash his greatest advantage.

But for group kills, the Demonic Body Clone was far inferior to Xiao Shi.

Additionally.

The number of sea beasts in the underwater area where they were located would also determine their kill results.

The more sea beasts there were, the more they could naturally kill.

There was a certain element of luck involved in this.

The underwater area where Xiao Shi carried out his kills had far more sea beasts than the area where the Demonic Body Clone was located.

This was also one of the reasons why his kill count was several times higher than the other party's.

Xiao Shi looked at the Demonic Body Clone.

He could feel the Demonic Body Clone's urgent desire to compete with him again at this moment.

"I'll give you another chance. Don't come see me until you've killed ten million."

Xiao Shi said lightly.

As soon as he finished speaking.

Whoosh!

The Demonic Body Clone instantly shot up into the air.

Flying towards the distant sea.

Xiao Shi nodded in satisfaction at this.

He deliberately provoked the Demonic Body Clone's competitive spirit, so that the Demonic Body Clone would exert his utmost effort to kill sea beasts.

Then Xiao Shi intended to separate from the Demonic Body Clone to hunt in the sea.

He believed that if they hunted separately.

They would definitely harvest the most items.

However, Xiao Shi was not in a hurry to enter the sea.

The reason he returned to the ship was twofold.

On one hand, he wanted to ignite the Demonic Body Clone's fighting spirit, making him exert maximum effort in killing sea beasts.

On the other hand, Xiao Shi was preparing to sort through the Martial Demon Grade items that had dropped earlier.

To see if there were any key items among them that could bring him improvement.

Currently, he had a total of ten Martial Demon Grade items in his possession.

When Xiao Shi took out these items.

Related item information immediately appeared in his vision.

Name: Heavenly Demon Cleansing Record

Type: Secret Manual

Grade: Martial Soul Grade

Introduction: This is a top-tier Martial Demon Grade Secret Manual from an ancient dynasty. That dynasty was predominantly composed of demonic cultivators, with very few righteous cultivators; it could be said to be an era of the Demonic Dao.

Note 1: Only demonic cultivators can cultivate it.

Note 2: After cultivating this Secret Manual, one's body can gradually transform towards the legendary Heavenly Demon through continuous purification. Upon achieving great success, a Heavenly Demon Body will be formed.

Note 3: If one can break through the Martial Demon Realm after achieving great success, they can become a new generation of Heavenly Demon.

...Xiao Shi looked at the first item in his hand.

This item was clearly dropped after the Demonic Body Clone made a kill.

Items dropped after a kill often depended on oneself.

For example, if Xiao Shi himself made the kill.

He would basically not drop items for demonic cultivators.

But if the Demonic Body Clone made the kill, the probability of dropping demonic cultivator items was relatively higher.

Although Xiao Shi could not cultivate this Secret Manual.

He could, however, give it to the Demonic Body Clone to cultivate.

He knew.

One of the unique and powerful aspects of the Martial Demon Realm was that the main body and the Demonic Body Clone could cultivate two completely different powers separately.

This way, when the main body and the Demonic Body Clone merged, he could acquire the power of the Demonic Body Clone.

Under normal circumstances.

Xiao Shi would certainly not be able to cultivate demonic cultivation techniques.

But if, through the Demonic Body Clone, he successfully cultivated this "Heavenly Demon Cleansing Record," then when he reached the second stage of the Martial Demon Realm, upon the merger of his main body and Demonic Body Clone, he would possess the power of the "Heavenly Demon Cleansing Record."

Judging from the relevant introduction of this Secret Manual.

This Secret Manual was clearly one of the highest quality among the many Martial Soul Grade Secret Manuals.

It was quite suitable for the Demonic Body Clone.

While thinking, Xiao Shi picked up the second Martial Demon Grade item.

Name: Soul Tremor Blade

Type: Weapon

Grade: Martial Soul Grade

Introduction: Forged by a renowned master craftsman, this is a Martial Demon Grade weapon specializing in soul attacks.

Note 1: This blade can only attack souls, not physical bodies.

Note 2: It can only strike a maximum of three times within a day.

Note 3: When this blade strikes, it will generate a powerful tremor, causing significant damage to the soul.

...This weapon was clearly also a relatively powerful one.

Although it could not attack the physical body, only the soul.

But Xiao Shi knew.

Martial Soul Realm cultivators' physical bodies and souls were already completely merged.

Every piece of their flesh and blood contained a portion of their soul.

And judging from the description of this Soul Tremor Blade.

This should be a blade specifically for dealing with Martial Soul Realm cultivators.

However, the specific power and effect.

Could only be known after Xiao Shi personally tried it.

But judging from the characteristic that this blade could only strike three times a day... its power must be extraordinary!

Otherwise, there would be no such restriction for no reason.

Xiao Shi looked at the third Martial Demon Grade item.

Name: teleportation pendant

Type: Accessory

Grade: Martial Soul Grade

Introduction: This is a pendant containing a teleportation array. Activating the teleportation array within it allows for immediate teleportation.

Note 1: This teleportation is only effective for the user; it will be ineffective for anyone else.

Note 2: After each activation of the array, one must wait thirty days before the next teleportation can occur.

Note 3: The teleportation destination can only be chosen in a general direction; a specific location cannot be selected.

...Xiao Shi's eyes lit up.

He finally dropped a teleportation item!

He had wanted such a teleportation item for a long time.

It was just that such items were extremely rare.

Even in the Myriad Treasure Pagoda, they were hard to come by.

What made Xiao Shi even more joyful was that the teleportation of this item primarily originated from the teleportation array within the pendant.

This way.

He could directly study the teleportation array within the pendant.

If he could use this to comprehend the true essence of the teleportation array... perhaps he could create his own teleportation arrays.

Without having to rely on this pendant anymore.

This was the greatest value and significance of this item!

Next was the fourth item.

Name: Sage Soul Summoning Seal

Type: Mark

Grade: Martial Soul Grade

Introduction: Activating this mark allows one to summon the soul body of a Saint to be at one's command.

Note 1: When activating the mark, a large amount of one's own soul power needs to be infused into the mark. If one's soul power is insufficient, the Saint's soul body cannot be summoned.

Note 2: The duration of the Saint's soul body's existence and the number of attacks it can perform will be determined by one's soul power. The more soul power, the longer the soul body exists and the more attacks it can perform.

Note 3: This mark can only be used once. After use, the mark will shatter and dissipate.

...This item somewhat surprised and caught Xiao Shi off guard.

He didn't expect... that in the Martial Demon Realm, items related to Saints would actually drop.

Judging from the function of this item, its primary purpose was to summon the soul body of a Saint.

"Since the level of this item is Martial Demon Grade, then the summoned Saint's soul body must only possess the strength of the Martial Soul Realm; it's impossible for it to have the power of a Saint..."

Xiao Shi knew deeply.

If the summoned Saint's soul body had the strength of a Saint, this item would certainly not be Martial Soul Grade.

It would definitely be Saint Grade.

However... as a Saint's soul body.

Even if it only had the strength of the Martial Demon Realm, this Saint's soul body must have its special qualities.

At the same time, Xiao Shi also noticed... the most important thing for using this Sage Soul Summoning Seal was soul power!

Whether it was for summoning the Saint's soul body, or for the duration of the summoned Saint's soul body's existence and the number of times it could attack, a vast amount of soul power was needed for support.

Although Xiao Shi had always been confident in his own soul power.

He also knew.

He was only unmatched in soul power during the Martial Soul Realm; upon reaching the Martial Demon Realm, it would be a different situation.

As for his current soul power.

It was certainly insufficient to summon a Saint's soul body.

That is to say.

To use this item.

He still needed to significantly enhance his own soul power.

No matter what.

This item was undoubtedly a quite good one for Xiao Shi.

He continued to look at the fifth item.

Name: Demon Sealing Art (Heaven-Rank)

Type: Secret Skill

Grade: Martial Soul Grade

Introduction: A Martial Soul Grade sealing Secret Skill that can seal the target's power, physical body, soul, etc.

Note 1: This Secret Skill cannot be successfully cultivated by just anyone.

Note 2: The cultivation of this Secret Skill requires not only powerful comprehension and talent, but also a certain element of luck. This Secret Skill itself comes with a fifty percent chance of cultivation failure.

Note 3: Once cultivation fails, one will be forever cut off from this Secret Skill.

..."Sealing Secret Skill?"

Xiao Shi's eyes lit up.

Although he had cultivated many Secret Skills so far.

A sealing Secret Skill was the first to drop.

Presumably, the ability to seal.

Must require a certain level of strength and cultivation to perform.

This already belonged to a high-tier ability.

And judging from the Secret Skills Xiao Shi had cultivated so far, all Heaven-Rank Secret Techniques were extremely powerful.

This Secret Skill would probably not be too weak either.

However, this Secret Skill had a fifty percent chance of failure in cultivation, which was what made Xiao Shi most difficult.

Without items that could enhance luck.

He felt that he should not rush to cultivate it rashly.

After all, once cultivation failed, he would be completely cut off from this Secret Skill.

There was only one chance to cultivate it in total.

"If all else fails, I'll continue to use the eternal realm-following alchemy furnace to refine another luck-enhancing pill!"

Xiao Shi thought to himself.

Now that he had broken through to the Martial Demon Realm, he also gained one opportunity to use the eternal realm-following alchemy furnace to refine pills of this realm.

With the experience from the previous refinement.

Xiao Shi knew that as long as all the materials he put in were related to luck, then there was a great chance to refine a pill that would bring luck enhancement.

No matter what.

He absolutely had to master this sealing Secret Skill.

On one hand, such sealing Secret Skills were incredibly rare in themselves.

On the other hand, as a Heaven-Rank Secret Technique, the value of this Secret Skill was immense. If he could successfully cultivate it, he would possess an incredibly powerful means!

However, Xiao Shi was not in a hurry to immediately refine the luck pill.

He continued to look at the next item.

Name: Demon-Locking Mirror

Type: Mirror

Grade: Martial Soul Grade

Introduction: This mirror can reflect the location of one's Demonic Body Clone. The holder of this mirror can track the movements of their Demonic Body Clone at any time.

Note 1: Once this mirror recognizes a master, it cannot be recognized by another master unless the master dies.

Note 2: This mirror has not yet recognized a master.

...This item was somewhat inferior compared to the other Martial Demon Realm items that had dropped earlier.

Of course.

This was only in relation to Xiao Shi.

For other Martial Demon Realm Experts, the value of this Demon-Locking Mirror was equally immense.

After all, for most Martial Demon Realm Experts.

After they differentiate their Demonic Body Clone, they lose track of its movements.

Just like Xiang Zizhen back then... if he could always track the movements of his Demonic Body Clone, he wouldn't have been ambushed by the Demonic Body Clone at that time.

On the contrary.

He could formulate a plan to hunt the Demonic Body Clone at any time based on its movements.

He could also avoid being ambushed by the Demonic Body Clone.

It could be said that as long as one possessed this Demon-Locking Mirror, they could always maintain the initiative in the struggle with their Demonic Body Clone.

This was an incredibly huge attraction for any Martial Demon Realm cultivator.

The only flaw.

Was that once this Demon-Locking Mirror recognized a master, it could not be transferred.

For example, if the person holding this Demon-Locking Mirror broke through from the Martial Demon Realm to the Saint Realm and no longer needed this Demon-Locking Mirror, as long as he was not dead, he could not transfer this Demon-Locking Mirror to others.

Of course, this uniqueness.

To some extent, also made the value of this Demon-Locking Mirror even greater!
