Chapter 66 - A Cleave That Splits All (1/2)

Zhong Yue stepped forward and carefully inspected the beast god fang. It was a pity that Zhong Yue could not understand the totem carvings at all as the beast god engraved them on its bones. Naturally, the totem carvings would be at the god's level.

But part of the totem carvings was destroyed when the seal crushed the beast's skull. As a result, the totem carvings on the fang were incomplete, the power it contained was thereby impaired; it was incomparable to the complete, flawless fang it formerly was.

"Even so, this would not be any weaker than the Ten Malefic Weapons."

Xin Huo measured it with his eyes and said, "Just a little bit hard for you to control and wield it."

"Hard to control and wield it?" Zhong Yue was baffled.

Xin Huo answered, "This is a god's fang, the strongest and toughest fang from a pseudo-beast god, it was difficult for your psyche to penetrate and place your totem carvings on it. That's why it is hard for you to control, as for wielding it, try it for yourself."

The moment Zhong Yue placed his soul on the fang, a surge of a brutal and ruthless aura gushed right at his face. It was easier for his soul to enter it than other soul weapons, which meant it would be easier for him to wield it!

This would be credited to the beast. It must have refined its fangs before its death. They must have been refined to the point of being purged of impurities, which was why Zhong Yue's soul was able to enter it so easily!

This would be the most essential criterion of an exceptional soul weapon. The better the soul weapon, the easier it would be for one's soul to enter and wield it as an extension of one's own body to control it with exceptional fluidity.

Only the inferior soul weapons would fail to deliver on this experience. This was mainly due to the impurities accumulated in the soul weapon. When the soul met with these impurities, it would be akin to walking on a twisted, crooked, and narrow trail filled with huge stones and stumbling detritus.

One was a broad and open avenue while the other was the polar opposite. It was obvious which option would be more conducive to combat efficiency.

Furthermore, the toughness and sharpness of an inferior soul weapon were incomparable to that of a good one. Their ability to shield the owner's soul from harm was not too great either. Hence, there would be time limits on how long the owner could wield the soul weapon before the owner's soul had to return to the body. Also, there were obvious risks to fighting with an inferior soul weapon that would be more prone to damage and destruction.

As for the 17 feet long god's fang before his eyes ... it was probably that not even the Ten Malefic Weapons could leave a scratch on it. One could presume how strong the protective capability of the god's fang was, Zhong Yue could engage in a protracted battle without having to worry the safety of his soul!

Not only that, Zhong Yue could feel the benefits of having his soul inhabit the god's fang as if his soul were submerged in a wellspring. He felt his soul getting nourished and nurtured with every moment he spent inside it!

He could sense that the enhancement on his soul was not the usual enhancement that one could get from daily cultivation, it was something much more, something way beyond merely that…

"Embodied within the god's fang is a surge of divine aura. Although it is only a slight wave, it is, nonetheless, very beneficial to you!"

Xin Huo said, "Can you feel it? The divinity housed within it."

Zhong Yue's heart shifted, indeed, he could sense a surge of heavenly aura in the god's fang, it was something the Dragon Scale Sword and Dragon Blood Sword Scabbard never had, it should be the divinity that Xin Huo was talking about!

"The divinity in this god's fang is too weak. It could be condensed into a droplet of water if it were strong enough. Consume it, and your soul would experience an earthshaking advancement."

Xin Huo said in a pity, "Unfortunately it's just a pseudo beast god, it is amazing enough to have even this slight surge of divinity lurking in it. The benefits it can bring is still insignificant to the current you as of now, but you will slowly realize the latent benefits it will bring to your cultivation in the future. Be it your soul, natural endowments, perception, your cultivation speed, or your sensitivity to the spirit ... it could greatly enhance you in every aspect. It is far superior to any other medicinal pellet!"

Zhong Yue was overjoyed, "How much benefit will it bring me?"

Xin Huo answered, "It's just a fang of a pseudo beast god, how much divinity do you think it can contain? The enhancement it brings applies to your ability in all domains. Not to mention the others, the benefits it can bring to your natural endowments alone is massive! For ordinary humans, including the Qi Practitioners, all of them have inherent limitations from the time of their births. At a point of time in life, their cultivation would eventually be constrained to the limits that they were born with. On the other hand, the divinity in this god's fang can enhance your natural endowments and help you in breaking through your intrinsic limitations at times in the future."

In Swords Gate, other than Zhong Yue, who else had such an opportunity and luxury to nourish their souls with the divinity aura?

We the Swords Gate sit on an active volcano and at the same time. A golden mountain filled with treasures; if the Devil Soul Forbidden Land below Swords Gate can be fully exploited, how abundant would the wealth and benefits it could bring to Swords Gate be?

Zhong Yue then thought of the countless giant beasts in the forbidden land, a single fang from the beast was already this marvelous. What if Swords Gate could fully make use of the giant beasts, devil souls, and giant coffins? Would Swords Gate be able to sweep away the monster race and the other races in just a single blow?

What a pity, this place is too dangerous, even all of the previous headmasters had to die in this godforsaken land.

Zhong Yue's psyche gushed out, and he tried to pick the fang out from the mountain rocks, but to no avail. The fang was completely immovable.

"Ey?"

Zhong Yue was surprised, and he once again erupted his psyche like bursts of lightning, his psyche was refined by the lightning. It had long since coalesced into lightning snakes that slithered in his inner mind. Although he had yet to transform his inner mind into a pool of lightning, the toughness and strength of his psyche were no any weaker than ordinary Qi Practitioners, and if not, it was undoubtedly better!

The only thing he lacked in comparison to the Qi Practitioners, was his cultivation base.

His psyche gushed out and enhanced his soul, Zhong Yue muffled a groan, but the fang was still fixed on the same spot, recalcitrant to moving even a single inch!

"Quit wasting your time and energy; this is the god's fang. Although it's from a pseudo beast god, it is still far too strong for your psyche to handle it."

Xin Huo said, "It's not about the physical weight but rather because of its essence—it is a god's bone. You can't control it because the inherent divinity of the fang will naturally suppress your mortal psyche, only when your psyche is strong enough can you wield it freely."
