Supreme Emperor of Swords-Novel

Chapter 377 Luo Lan’s Investment

For warriors under the Martial King Realm, it was detrimental to forcefully use the “Beast Transform”—He or she would be very weak the next day after using that skill. During that day, his power would be less than half of his full strength. It would not recover until a day later.

Ou Bodang was only a half-step great grandmaster. His realm was not eligible. It seemed that he could not use the full power of that blood. Therefore, even after the transformation, he did not borrow too much of the white ape’s magic power. If he were a two-apertured great grandmaster, he would have been able to use the full power. In that case, Luo Lan would not be capable of defeating him unless her realm was above the Martial King’s.

Beast Transform was one of the great killing skills that some human masters had studied in the process of fighting against the demons for millions of years. By borrowing the power of the ancient beasts, mankind could be as strong as those born demons in terms of fighting talents, fighting bodies, and fighting strength.

Above the Beast Transform, there were two similar supernatural skills, namely “King of Beast Transform” and “God of Beast Transform”, which needed more horrifying and rarer blood, such as the blood essence of the ancient 36 Divine Beasts of Celestial Bodyshield, the ancient Vermilion Bird, the Black Tortoise, the Blue Dragon, and the White Tiger.

However, it was a pity that the blood of the ancient 72 earth baleful Divine Beasts was actually quite rare. After millions of times, those ancient creatures were basically extinct.

Their blood was rarely retained in the world. Only a few of the luckiest fighters possessed them. Let alone the blood of the ancient 36 Divine Beasts of Celestial Bodyshield and the Divine Beasts of the four corners of the world. Even those dukes in the martial world, those super Sects, or those aristocratic families did not have them.

There was a rumor that in the current Land of Infinity, in the world of humans, only those who had mastered the human fate had those kinds of blood. They were “the Black Frost War God in the Northern Region”, “the Sea Conquer War God in the Southern Region”, “the Green-Wood War God in the Middle Region”, “the Monk War God in the Western Desert”, and “the Martial War God in the Eastern Region”. They should have the blood of the four world beasts. And those leaders of some provinces should have the blood of those 36 Divine Beasts.

To the ordinary warriors and the individual cultivators, they would be the luckiest men if they could see the blood for once.

Ou Bodang was very lucky to have a drop of blood of the Baleful Devil White Ape.

But he was not lucky enough. He had died before he could fully use the power of that blood.

Therefore, when a warrior sometimes obtained something beyond his or her own ability, it was likely to be a disaster, like Ou Bodang’s case, who was not the best among the masters of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, but he became ambitious because of the ape’s blood and decided to be one of Tang Folei’s men. Because of that blood, he was so arrogant that he had chosen Luo Lan as his opponent and was killed. At the moment, he had lost his blood and his own life.

Each of your moves was a reason, and each of your experiences was a result.

...

“I see.” Ding Hao listened to the explanation of the two old monsters, and finally understood that skill.

He looked at the white ape’s blood in Luo Lan’s hand, and couldn’t help but feel a little excited.

That was a good thing. Once thoroughly condensed, he would get all the magical power and energy of the white ape; then, he would be as strong as a Martial King warrior. Plus, with the physique of his Saintly Being of Saber and Sword, he would be able to fight against a high level Martial King warrior. What was more, he would be more confident to fight against Mu Tianyang.

“It seems that I have to think of a way to get one of the 72 ancient beasts’ blood.” Ding Hao secretly made up his mind.

Just then, blue brilliance flashed, and Peak Master Luo, who stood in the sky just then, had already approached. She stood 20 meters away from Ding Hao and Wang Juefeng. The soft blue light flashed and her powerful Qi was surging as if they were standing beside the sea, listening to the waves. That beautiful woman became nobler and looked like an unparalleled War Goddess.

“Senior Sister Luo!” Wang Junfeng slightly bowed and his attitude was extremely respectful.

“Peak Master Luo.” Ding Hao also quickly saluted.

“Well met.” Luo Lan nodded, and her pretty eyes finally fell on Ding Hao. She was always elegant, but just then she looked surprised and sighed. She said, “Killing Book, Sword, Painting, and Black Inflammation in one battle. That was so impressive... Ding Hao, you seized the opportunity and created a miracle. From today, you will be famous in the Snow Province. You’ve become one of the leaders of the younger generation.”

“I’m just lucky. Senior Sister Luo, you’re flattering me,” Ding Hao smiled and said modestly.

Luo Lan’s gaze passed from Ding Hao and fell on the peach tree next to him. She seemed to think of something and sighed, “Is this peach tree... finally blossoming?” Her eyes were free, and it seemed to remind her of some past events. After a long while, she suddenly raised her hand and sent that drop of Baleful Devil White Ape’s blood, which was releasing an ancient breath, to the front of Ding Hao and said, “Take it.”

“Ah?” Ding Hao was stunned.

Wang Junfeng was also shocked.

Although the Water Sword Peak was one of the big branches of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, they shouldn’t have such a valuable thing. Since at the moment Luo Lan did not give it to her own disciples but to Ding Hao, it was too strange.

“This drop of blood is yours now,” Luo Lan smiled slightly and said, “The Baleful Devil White Ape ranks 62 in the 72 ancient beasts, but it is of yang attribute. It is not suitable for women to use. Most of my peak’s disciples are female. And you’re the most outstanding disciple among the juniors of our Sect. I give you this blood today and I hope that you can help my disciples in the future if you have the ability.”

Ding Hao hesitated for a moment and finally reached out to take that drop of blood, respectfully saying, “Senior Sister Luo has always been supporting me. Ding Hao will never forget. I will definitely help you and the Water Sword Peak if I have the ability.”

Receiving Ding Hao’s guarantee, Luo Lan smiled and nodded. And then her body flashed. She had departed.

As Ding Hao opened his hand, that drop of child-fist-sized Baleful Devil White Ape’s blood essence was rotating. It looked like crystal, similar to a piece of spiritual nephrite. It exuded a heart-rending ancient aura and smelled sweet. Layers of transparent airwaves could be seen.

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up! Eat and refine it,” Wang Jiefeng reminded.
