Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 99 The First Ability of the Horse-Slaying Saber!
Xia Faming was sitting in a chair, but he could clearly feel that the moment he was enveloped by starlight, his body and mind transformed into a glowing sphere once again.

He realized that the explosion of the citrine was an illusion, and that he had been "pulled" into... the Protoss Realm because of the divination!
This time, his entry into the Protoss realm was clearly much deeper than when he used the Protoss Compass.

After all, when using the Celestial Compass, he stayed at the boundary where his mental body and celestial body intersected, waiting for the Celestial Compass to gather information for him in the Celestial Realm.

But now, because of the divination, his mind has been completely and directly entered the Celestial Realm.

The scene before my eyes suddenly became complex, with colorful blocks pieced together. Occasionally, mysterious spirits or ghostly beings would wander among the blocks, along with shadowy human figures. I could also see a corner of a massive planet, and the same size as the planet, with jellyfish-like tentacles of a celestial spirit.

Xia Fa recalled the knowledge in the book "Secret Texts and Divination," firmly guarding his mind and not letting himself be disturbed by these oil painting-like scenes.

Suddenly, a vast amount of information and knowledge emerged from these colorful blocks of color, transforming into thin, rapidly moving lines that rushed toward Xiafa.

Almost all the fine threads were blocked by the barrier formed by the eleven previously engraved secret runes that appeared around Xiafa just as they were about to approach him. However, at that moment, when a fine thread came, the barrier suddenly opened a crack as if it were sensing it.

Xia Fa watched helplessly as the thin thread passed through the gap and instantly entered the sphere representing his mind and spirit.

With a bang, the knowledge and information represented by the thin line exploded in his mind like fireworks.

Xia Fa saw a scene.

In the scene, a figure stands between heaven and earth with twelve arms, each hand firmly gripping the hilt of a horse-slaying sword. The sword has grown to be ten thousand meters long, as if it could slice through mountains and divide the sea with a single stroke.

The figure stood on a vast, boundless sea, with several small islands on either side, their coconut trees swaying in the wind.

The figure was extremely blurry, and Xia Fa couldn't see it clearly at all.

Suddenly, he sensed a strange current surging forth from a place that was both extremely far away and yet incredibly close to him, rushing madly toward the luminous sphere represented by his mind.

Xia Fa immediately realized that it was his body! The strange electric current seemed to sense something and was protecting his mind!
The next moment, a strange electric current merged into the luminous sphere that represented him, and the sphere immediately shone brightly, faintly tinged with an inviolable, sacred golden radiance.

Seemingly due to the effect of a strange electric current, the image spread out like paint, and Xia Fa finally saw clearly that the twelve-armed figure holding the horse-slaying sword was actually facing an extremely deformed monster!

The monster was as large as a mountain, like countless arms gathered together, but each arm's palm had strange organs, some were eyes, some were ears, and there were hearts, teeth, intestines and so on.

Especially the palm, which has a heart inside, is constantly pulsating, giving people an extremely strange feeling.

"At least an Outer God..."

Xia Fa made a judgment. Fortunately, there was a strange electric current, and he was using divination to glimpse past scenes, so he was not afraid of losing control on the spot because he was looking directly at a living Outer God.

Suddenly, the figure with twelve arms moved!

The figure leaped into the air, raised his ten-thousand-meter-long saber high, and unleashed a clean and swift slash at the monster.

Xia Fa had never seen such a strike before. It was as light and swift as a swallow skimming across a lake, yet as powerful and majestic as a roaring lion pouncing on its prey.

He felt a sharp pain in his mind, as if he had vaguely learned something from that knife strike.

Without a doubt, the monster could not withstand such a blow. It screamed and broke in half, and the countless arms that made up it began to burn, causing it to quickly turn into ashes.

At this moment, the sea split open, and seawater poured in as if it were about to fall into a bottomless abyss. Magma gushed out from the seabed crust that had been split in two, and quickly solidified and turned black upon encountering the seawater.

Xia Fa watched this scene in astonishment as the figure with twelve arms cleaved a strait a million meters long with a single slash!
He even suspected that the figure with twelve arms had held back its power; otherwise, it might have cleaved the planet beneath its feet in two!
Although the figure was extremely blurry, and Xia Fa couldn't even make out its features, he could sense that the figure seemed quite indifferent, putting away its ten-thousand-meter-long saber and preparing to leave.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Behind the figure, the monster, seemingly composed of countless arms, suddenly materialized again. Its numerous arms reached out towards the figure with extreme hatred, as if it wanted to take everyone down with it, like a vengeful demon crawling out of hell! Xia Fa's heart clenched at the sight. After all, this figure with twelve arms was very likely the former owner of this horse-slaying sword, and the monster was too evil and ugly. He instinctively stood on the figure's side.

Just as the monster's countless arms were about to grab the figure, the figure seemed oblivious and was about to fall into a deadly trap.

Suddenly, another figure with twelve arms appeared, also wielding a ten-thousand-meter-long saber, appearing beside the monster and delivering a clean and swift leaping slash.

The monster's form and its outstretched arm froze for a moment, then split open again, this time completely annihilated, leaving not even ashes behind.

The image suddenly shrank like paper absorbing ink, and slowly disappeared.

Xia Fa was wondering where the second figure came from, and why he was holding an identical horse-slaying sword, and even his attack posture was the same.

But immediately, his mind went blank for a moment, and he understood something in a more "higher dimension".

This is the first ability of this horse-slaying sword—to record and reproduce.

Just as the twelve-armed figure demonstrated, the being wielding this horse-slaying sword could "record" one of its attacks and then choose to "reproduce" it within a certain range.

The extraordinary power required to record it is the same as the extraordinary power required to unleash that attack, but no extraordinary power is required to reproduce it.

However, each use requires paying the price of a drop of blood.

Of course, this is not during battle, but after the battle, when one must voluntarily drip a drop of blood into the sword.

Although we still don't know the name of the seal on this sword's shape, to be honest, this ability... is really surprising!
Record and then reproduce?

Doesn't this mean I get two chances to use my ultimate move?
Moreover, the reproduced attack can freely choose its position and direction within a certain range, and can catch the enemy off guard, just like when a shadow figure fights a monster!
"This must have been a battle from the past, right? I wonder who that twelve-armed figure was, who killed an Outer God with just two strikes and even cleaved a strait a million meters long..."

Xia Fa thought about it curiously for a moment, and suddenly felt that the location of the sea and islands seemed somewhat familiar.

It seems to be... the Abaddon Sea outside Rum City?

He decided that next time he went to the Extraordinary Market, he would take a passenger ship or one of those small boats and find an opportunity to visit the Abaddon Sea.

After reviewing once again the methods of using the Zhanmadao (horse-slaying sword) for "recording" and "reproducing," Xia Fa gathered his thoughts and began to imagine the scene of sinking.

Soon, he felt the glowing sphere representing his mind rapidly sink and fall into his body.

Xia Fa opened his eyes and saw that the yellow crystal on the mahogany table, though not exploded, was damaged and lay helplessly to the side.

Fortunately, only a small portion of the live iron powder that had been scattered throughout the bedroom was gone.

Xia Fa immediately took out the second citrine he had bought earlier and used the same trick again, engraving the secret text on a piece of cast iron.

This time, the inscriptions he carved were quite complex, numbering more than thirty.

After all, he was a demigod being divined by an insect-level superhuman, so he had to be well prepared.

Once the engraving was complete, the last secret inscription made of iron powder pierced through the iron sheet and sank into the citrine.

Just then, something happened that completely astonished Xia Fa!
