I'm not just human!

Xia Fa was somewhat surprised. Judging from this, the Phantom Shark Suit really was priced at around 500 gold pounds.

Thinking back to how the portly boss dared to ask for two thousand gold pounds in the first place, he once again understood the profound meaning of the saying "no merchant is without guile," which truly is the same in any world...

After calming himself down, he took out five hundred-pound notes and paid the amount in full.

The portly shop owner had been running the business for so many years that he had become quite shrewd. Just by seeing Xia Fa pull out a hundred-pound note without even a small denomination, he immediately realized something was amiss.

As he handed the Sharksuit to Xia Fa, his smile widened even further as he said:

"Guest, why not try the blind bag? Our secret trading shop swears by our faith in the divine [Supreme Law] that this blind bag has absolutely not been tampered with in any way, and has never been touched by anyone beforehand."

Xia Fa's gaze sharpened.

It has to be said that what the chubby boss said really piqued his interest in blind bags.

You must understand that this is a world where gods exist. If you swear an oath in the name of the Supreme Law, one of the nine great gods, and break the oath, you will truly be cursed or even punished by the gods!

This suggests that these blind bags might actually be worth trying.

Of course, not now. He doesn't have any spare money right now, and he doesn't want to blindly gamble on the odds.

I'll prepare by learning more about blind bag opening techniques and then try it out once I've truly mastered them.

Putting everything else aside, if we could actually unearth a top-tier secret contract or a highly numbered sealed artifact...

"Okay, I'll come visit sometime. That's all for now."

Xia Fa took the Shark Suit and felt that it was almost weightless in his hand, but it was exceptionally cool, as if he were touching the skin of a shark in the deep sea. He couldn't help but feel a little more satisfied.

The chubby boss responded enthusiastically:

"No problem, you're welcome to visit us again anytime!"

Xia Fa nodded, turned around and walked out.

Next, he went to a shop owned by a local nobleman in Rum City and bought a large amount of live iron powder, as well as several portions of jasmine essential oil, cast iron sheets, citrine and other materials.

He packed all the materials into a button-shaped pouch, fastened it to his collar, and also put the remaining two thousand three hundred pounds sterling in it, including the cash check.

It has to be said that having the Black Bag is very convenient. Before, when he went out, the inner pockets of his clothes were stuffed full—two high-level secret contracts, mithril holy symbols, three thousand gold pounds, and other things, almost overflowing.

Now, all of this is placed in the black pouch that looks like a metal button on the collar.

It must be said that the craftsman who invented the black bag, "Suochuwu Kongjian," was simply a genius!

Xiafa wandered around the Extraordinary Market again, but couldn't find any Extraordinary Dried Fish for sale, so he took a boat back to the port of Rum City.

Without delay, he made his way to Risle Street, and then, as he passed through the intricate web of alleyways leading from Risle Street to Daniel Street, he changed his appearance back in an empty alley.

After deliberately taking several detours to make sure he wasn't being followed, Xia Fa finally returned to his own attic.

"call……"

Upon entering the bedroom, he closed the door, exhaled a soft breath, and his eyes flickered.

Next, it's time to start the divination!

After thinking for a moment, Xia Fa decided to first divine the seal on his sword, which resembled a horse-slaying blade, and then divine the information related to Pompeii.

He flipped his palm over, took out a small wooden bottle with a narrow neck and a round belly, poured in a palm full of iron powder, and poured it into it with extraordinary power, scattering it into the air.

This time, he constructed a square enclosed space, which was larger than the previous circular enclosed space, almost overlapping the bedroom ceiling and walls.

This is a lesson learned from the previous experience. After all, we don't know what will happen during the divination, so it's better to make the enclosed space as large as possible.

The entire bedroom seemed to be covered with a layer of metallic starlight. In this environment, Xia Fa held his breath and took out the yellow crystal, the iron plate, and some more live iron powder.

He placed the iron sheet on the yellow crystal, and then sprinkled iron powder onto the shaking iron sheet.

As the iron powder fell, it was controlled by his extraordinary power, forming the shapes of secret runes.

A strange phenomenon occurred: after the iron powder fell onto the pig iron, the resulting runes were like stones falling into water, directly penetrating the pig iron and merging into the citrine!

The secret text composed of active iron powder shimmered faintly in the citrine, as if it were highly active.

Xia Fa focused his mind and calmed himself as he "engraved" each one.

Soon, all eleven secret inscriptions required for the divination seal were engraved.

The moment the last cryptic inscription merged into the citrine.

boom--!

The citrine seemed to suddenly explode, transforming into a sky full of starlight that instantly enveloped Xiafa!

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 that moment, something unexpected happened!

Behind the figure, the monster, which seemed to be made up of countless arms, suddenly solidified into a form. Its countless arms reached out to grab the figure, filled with extreme resentment and a desire to perish together, like a vengeful demon that crawled 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, so he instinctively stood on the side of the figure.

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.
