53: You audacious scoundrel, how dare you steal the royal weapon of my Xiao family!

Above Wang Ming's head, the dragon and Phoenix danced. The golden dragon and Golden Phoenix transformed into specks of golden light, continuously merging into Wang Ming's body.

The entire process lasted for less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

As Wang Ming opened his eyes, the golden dragon and Golden Phoenix completely merged into his body, and the golden light filling the sky abruptly dissipated.

“Is this the Heavenly Dao's Blessing?”

Wang Ming clenched his fist, feeling that if he threw a punch now, even a Core Formation Great Perfection would have to kneel before him!

The golden dragon and Golden Phoenix had brought him two abilities.

The golden dragon had attempted to change his Physique into a Golden Dragon Body.

Unfortunately, its status was too low and it was directly swallowed and absorbed by the Desolate War Body.

It turned into nourishment for the Desolate War Body.

At this moment, his Physical Body strength had reached at least the level of the seventh or eighth layer of Core Formation!

As for the Golden Phoenix, it had transformed into a talent secret technique.

It was called the Nine Revolutions Undying Scripture!

Its recovery power was extremely strong, and every transformation was a leap in the level of life.

When practiced to the Ninth Transformation, one could even achieve Rebirth from a single drop of blood!

The Physical Body would be indestructible, and the Soul would be immortal!

However, the difficulty of Cultivating to the Ninth Transformation was immense. Even within the Phoenix race, throughout history, only a few rare Prodigies had ever reached the Ninth Transformation.

And those Prodigies all eventually became Great Emperors.

With the assistance of the Golden Phoenix, Wang Ming's Nine Revolutions Undying Scripture directly entered the First Transformation.

Wang Ming took out a small knife and cut a small opening on his finger.

Golden light suffused the wound.

In the blink of an eye, it healed completely as if it were new!

Not a single trace of the injury could be seen!

There were two ways to Cultivate this Nine Revolutions Undying Scripture.

Self-comprehension, or... hunting Phoenixes and refining the memory Legacy from Phoenix blood!

“Phoenixes...”

Wang Ming raised an eyebrow, thinking he should find some time to roast a few Phoenixes to eat.

He couldn't beat the old Phoenixes, so he had to find a few young ones, preferably the kind that were alone.

【Ding! Host has completed the choice! Reward obtained: king artifact, wait a minute!】

With a thought from Wang Ming, a silver-white longsword appeared in his hand.

As soon as he gripped it, his expression changed.

His hand suddenly sank downwards.

“So heavy?!”

Wang Ming was somewhat surprised. With his current strength, even carrying a small mountain would be no problem, yet he almost failed to hold a single sword!

Wang Ming tried swinging it twice, and immediately, the air emitted a whistling sound as it was sliced open.

“Good sword!”

He played with it for a while before storing it in the System space.

In the Ancient Desolate Continent, weapons were divided into Magical Artifacts, Treasure Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, true artifacts, and then king artifacts!

He wasn't sure about the Qingxin Palace, but in Qingzhou City, only his father possessed a Treasure Artifact.

As for Spiritual Artifacts, only larger cities had them.

Furthermore, every single Spiritual Artifact could be sold for the astronomical price of over ten million Spirit Stones!

If this king artifact of his were exposed, it would definitely attract the attention of experts at the Nascent Soul or even Soul Transformation level!

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, this sword could not be used!

If it remains still, let it be; but once it moves, anyone who has seen this sword must be completely exterminated!

“It's right here, the golden light disappeared here!”

A series of air-breaking sounds rang out.

Several figures appeared one after another above Wang Ming's head.

“Kid, what foul methods did you use to snatch away my son's Heavenly Dao's Blessing!”

Xiao Buhuo stared fixedly at Wang Ming.

“Snatch? This Heavenly Dao's Blessing was mine to begin with, so how can you call it snatching?”

Wang Ming stood up, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Buhuo and the others, getting a general idea of their strength.

One Core Formation Fifth Layer, two Core Formation Third Layers, and five Core Formation First Layers.

“Bullshit! This Heavenly Dao's Blessing was originally heading straight for my son, but suddenly changed direction midway. You must have used some unknown method to snatch it!”

With a 'clang', Xiao Buhuo drew his sword and pointed it at Wang Ming, saying grimly: “Since the Heavenly Dao's Blessing is gone, I don't want to pursue the rights and wrongs anymore. Today, you must die!”

As he spoke, he shouted to the surrounding Xiao Family members: “No one interfere, I want to kill him with my own hands to vent this frustration for my son!”

Hearing this, everyone retreated to the side.

In their eyes, Wang Ming was just a small Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer.

For Xiao Buhuo to kill him would be easier than crushing an ant.

Naturally, there was no need for such a large-scale mobilization.

“Watch my sword!”

Xiao Buhuo gave a low growl and slashed his sword at Wang Ming.

Wang Ming suddenly said: “wait a minute!”

Xiao Buhuo's figure paused, thinking Wang Ming wanted to beg for mercy. He snorted coldly and was about to speak.

At this moment, a silver light suddenly flared up, and in the blink of an eye, it pierced right through his heart!

Xiao Buhuo was stunned!

All the members of the Xiao Family were stunned!

A sneak attack?

No, this wasn't a matter of a sneak attack!

The real problem was that Xiao Buhuo, a Core Formation Fifth Layer, actually failed to block an attack from a Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer?!

“Pfft!”

Xiao Buhuo spat out a mouthful of blood and stared fixedly at Wang Ming, “You... what weapon did you just use!”

The life level of a Core Formation expert was already very high.

Even if the heart was pierced, it was only a serious injury and not yet fatal.

But if he wanted to continue fighting, he clearly couldn't do it.

Whoosh!

The silver light flew back to Wang Ming, and everyone finally saw the true appearance of that silver light.

It was a sword!

“This aura... is it a true artifact?!”

The Xiao Family members gasped.

It was actually a true artifact!

One must know that even some medium-sized Sects might not necessarily possess a single true artifact!

This young man was actually carrying a true artifact with him!

What on earth was his background?!

“true artifact?” Wang Ming shook his head, “Not that weak. This isn't a true artifact, but a... king artifact!”

A king artifact!

The Xiao Family members were completely dumbfounded!

Their breathing quickened one by one, and their eyes stared heatedly at that silver-white longsword.

A king artifact was something they had never even seen before!

Naturally, they couldn't distinguish whether this sword was a king artifact or not.

But... what if it was!

“Insolent rat, how dare you steal my Xiao Family's king artifact!”

“Hand over the sword, and we'll spare your life!”

“Surround him, don't let him escape!”

The Xiao Family members surrounded Wang Ming, each one acting righteous, as if Wang Ming had dug up their ancestral graves.

“So shameless?!”

Wang Ming was amused. Originally, he had no psychological burden about killing these people, and now, he had even less!

“Don't be overconfident, that's a king artifact. Attack together!”

Xiao Buhuo swallowed a healing pill and retreated to the side to direct the battle.

The Xiao Family members looked at each other and simultaneously drew their swords to attack Wang Ming.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

Wang Ming didn't set up any defenses at all, allowing their swords to pierce into his body.

“We got him!”

“Haha!”

“Great, the king artifact is ours!”

The Xiao Family members laughed excitedly like squealing pigs.

At this moment, Wang Ming suddenly reached out and pressed his hand against one person's face, “God Devouring!”

That person instantly screamed in agony!

In a short while, he directly slumped down, limp.

The expressions of the others changed, and they subconsciously tried to pull their swords out and get away.

But as soon as they pulled, they realized they couldn't move them!

Wang Ming had already controlled his flesh and bones to tightly wedge their swords!

“Delicious!”

The light of Divine Sense flickered in the depths of Wang Ming's eyes. Using both hands simultaneously, he pressed down on the two people closest to him, “Devour more for me!”
