The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

Chapter 114 The Blade of Rebellion, the Yamato, Ebony, and Ivory

Before Lu Yan could examine it carefully, a heart-wrenching pain came from all parts of his body.

Despite having his body enhanced by the executioner, he still felt as if he were being torn to pieces.

Although it wasn't the first time he'd experienced this, he couldn't help but complain every time he got promoted.

This path almost immediately exhausts the body's full potential at the beginning of the advancement, treating it entirely as a weapon for forging, especially the advancement of the Divine Martial Saint.

He could feel his body frantically absorbing the sharp energy from the strange objects around him, making every inch of his skin, every bone, and every cell stronger.

After an unknown amount of time, the enhancement finally stopped, and his body began to exude an unprecedentedly powerful aura.

If someone were to perceive this with their eyes closed, they would only think that there is a divine weapon placed here, rather than that there is a person here.

[Promotion successful! Obtained Sequence 6 - Divine Martial Saint!]

[Gain the Trait - Divine Weapon Body: Gathers the essence of all weapons, permanently acquiring the attributes and enhancements of the contracted weapon.]

[Gain Skill - Domain - Military: Activating this skill creates a military domain. Targets within the domain cannot escape and will be attacked by a massive army until they die.]

[Gain Skill - Blood Fiend: Can condense one's own blood or the blood of enemies and fuse it with killing intent to form Blood Fiend. The more concentrated the Blood Fiend, the greater the increase in all attributes.]

"This is getting more and more deadly."

Lu Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had thought that the pain of this strengthening would gradually weaken as he grew stronger, but unexpectedly it became even more intense.

At this rate, promotions will likely become increasingly difficult in the future.

He swayed in place for a while, and only stood up after his body had fully adapted to the change.

Then, with a thought, he suddenly deployed his domain military strategy.

The training building was covered with countless abandoned weapons, and various figures emerged from beside each weapon, holding the weapon in their hands.

They are all the spirits of abandoned weapons here, but they were summoned by the military domain.

However, compared to the weapon spirits evolved from Lu Yan's own weapons, they were noticeably much dimmer.

"It seems that in order to truly unleash the power of military strategists, we must collect and forge more weapons."

"

Speaking of forging, Lu Yan suddenly remembered his promise to Ning Ran.

He immediately slipped away from the cultivation building and found Ning Ran and the other person waiting at the door.

"Sorry, I lost track of time while cultivating."

Lu Yan stepped forward to apologize, only to find the two of them staring at him with expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

"You really made another breakthrough?"

Yin Shuo was speechless. They were considered to be cultivating relatively quickly, but compared to Lu Yan, they were practically no different from trash.

"A slight breakthrough."

Lu Yan was very modest. He still had two Sequence 7 breakthroughs to make, and the Gambler he had just acquired hadn't even started working yet. He was still far from being able to do anything.

"Okay, now I finally understand how those people viewed me back then."

Yin Shuo sighed helplessly, while Ning Ran handed a storage item to Lu Yan.

"The materials are ready."

Lu Yan nodded slightly, then led the two into the manor.

Although the reason is unclear, the manor is equipped with a forge, which is fully equipped with all kinds of tools.

This also conveniently suited Lu Yan, since he couldn't very well use a panel to forge weapons for others.

"I'll forge a prototype first. During this process, you'll need to use demonic power and killing intent to assist you, so please be careful."

Lu Yan organized the materials, gave a few simple instructions, and then began forging.

Although he hadn't forged anything in a long time, he still performed with great skill due to his experience with attack sequences.

"Goodness, is there anything this guy can't do?"

Upon seeing this, Yin Shuo clicked his tongue in amazement, then his eyes darted around as he came up with an idea.

Bored, Yin Shuo left after a while, leaving Ning Ran behind to help.

Whether helping to operate the bellows or unlocking abilities to inject into weapons, they were all busy and having a great time.

Ning Ran even felt that this was the happiest period of his life.

After all, it had been a long time since he had unleashed his demonic power so recklessly.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The clanging sounds in the forging room gradually diminished until they disappeared completely.

Yin Shuo, who was getting tired of being outside, noticed the change immediately and rushed inside.

As soon as he entered, he was forced back by a black flame carrying a strong killing intent.

"Has Ning Ran lost control again?"

The thought crossed his mind as he moved, but he saw the black flames suddenly roll back and disappear into a katana.

Beside the katana, a huge double-edged sword floated, faintly resonating with the katana.

Then, the sword and the blade fell from the sky and slowly landed in Ning Ran's hands.

"You... succeeded?"

Looking at Ning Ran's excited face, Yin Shuo was filled with disbelief.

The artifact capable of restraining Ning Ran's power must be at least a gold-level artifact. So, these two only spent two days tinkering with it and already produced two gold-level artifacts?!

"Yes, it worked!"

Before Lu Yan could speak, Ning Ran nodded first, making no attempt to hide her joy.

Seeing this, Lu Yan also breathed a sigh of relief, his face full of satisfaction.

Although it was a bit strenuous, the feeling of handcrafting two extraordinary items was indeed very satisfying.

Especially since the two weapons he conjured up this time were his two favorites from his previous life!

Even this failed to trigger the general ascension path of the Divine Martial Saint, which bothered him somewhat.

Is it that they no longer value the forging of gold-grade artifacts, or is it that this is no longer a core requirement?

"Brother Lu Yan, could you help name these swords?"

Ning Ran walked up to Lu Yan with her sword in hand, her face full of sincerity.

Lu Yan readily agreed without hesitation.

The right to name something should, of course, be kept in one's own hands!

He pretended to ponder for a moment, then said, "This greatsword will be called the Blade of Rebellion, and the katana will be called the Yama Blade. What do you think?"

"The Blade of Rebellion—Yamato—"

Ning Ran murmured softly for a while, and the light in her eyes became even more dazzling.

These two names perfectly matched his aesthetic sense; they truly resonated with him.

Lu Yan helped Ning Ran fasten the Yama Blade to her waist and then carried the Blade of Rebellion on her back.

After thinking for a moment, he brought Ning Ran a leather jacket, put it on her belt, hung her two pistols on it, and then nodded in satisfaction.

It has that flavor.

"Remember this: the Blade of Rebellion can absorb your killing intent, and the Yamato will absorb your demonic power. Unsealing either one will unleash its corresponding power."

Lu Yan patiently explained, "Once you unseal all of these at once, you will enter a state of full liberation, and your strength will reach its peak. However, there is also a risk of losing control, so you must be careful."

"Yes, I'll remember that."

Ning Ran nodded obediently, hugging the sword tightly like a child who had received a favorite toy.

"But you don't need to worry too much. You can use them to train your control over time, and your control will improve over time."

Hearing this, Yin Shuo became interested and pointed to the two pistols, asking a question.

"What about these pistols? What special abilities do they have?"

"Oh, these two guns are just painted, they're useless."

Yin Shuo: "————"

He certainly didn't have the ability to forge firearms; Ning Ran found this out herself from who-knows-where.

Although it's not a rare item, it can still be considered a weapon.

To be honest, he was quite surprised to see this familiar weapon for the first time.

But when he realized that the bullets couldn't even penetrate his skin, he felt relieved.

Ultimately, it's not a supernatural weapon; it can only threaten ordinary people.

Despite its ordinariness, Ning Ran was quite satisfied with her new look.

Most importantly, he no longer has to restrain his emotions!

And all of this is thanks to Lu Yan's help; we must express our sincere gratitude.

"Brother Lu, let me treat you to dinner!"

Ning Ran's expression was solemn as she came up with this way of expressing her gratitude, leaving Yin Shuo looking utterly helpless.

"Let me handle this kind of thing."

Yin Shuo walked up to Lu Yan and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the biggest den of iniquity in the primordial world~"

"A money pit?"

Lu Yan frowned slightly. Enjoyment is the enemy of cultivation, especially this kind of expensive enjoyment, which is an even greater enemy.

"Don't worry, it's not what you're thinking."

Yin Shuo patted his chest forcefully and said, "Everyone knows my reputation; I won't take you to a place like that."

"Are you afraid that Yiren and Yao Qing will beat you to death?"

Ning Ran ruthlessly exposed Yin Shuo's lie. Although Yin Shuo was unhappy, he was helpless.

Although Ning Ran's emotional problems have been resolved, he still can't beat her!

"Anyway, you can come with me."

Yin Shuo waved his hand and pulled the two of them towards the city below.

Before long, the three of them stopped in front of a magnificent high-rise building.

"So, the 'money pit' you're talking about is a casino?"

Looking at the various gambling tools inside, Lu Yan's eyes twitched.

Doesn't he know that Mr. Lu has always been sworn enemies of gambling and drugs? How could he bring him to a place like this!

"Don't worry, I'm known as the original God of Gamblers. This place is always used for withdrawing money."

Yin Shuo patted his chest confidently, his face radiating unprecedented self-assurance.

Surprisingly, Ning Ran didn't expose him this time.

"Is he really the God of Gamblers?"

Lu Yan was surprised.

"Otherwise, how do you think I bought Traveler 3.0?"

Yin Shuo strode into the casino with his head held high, then expertly headed straight for the top floor.

That's the place for someone like him; these petty squabbles below are meaningless.

"Lu Yan, why don't you learn some too? This place is specially prepared for those with spiritual extraordinary abilities, and it can be of great help in improving one's spirituality."

Along the way, Yin Shuo continued to explain the benefits of this place to Lu Yan.

"Don't worry about losing. It's on me today. If you win, it's yours; if you lose, it's on me!"

Yin Shuo was very generous. The compensation he received a few days ago not only allowed him to pay off his loan, but also filled his personal coffers, making him quite wealthy and powerful.

But Lu Yan's eyes looked rather strange after hearing his words.

The gambler was very dissatisfied with Yin Shuo's provocation and decided to show him what a real gambling god was!
