Chapter 334: Chapter 317: Lifebound Flying Sword

Days and months flew by like a shuttle, time sped like an arrow.

Wang Wu never thought that in order to complete the fusion of the Fire Sword and the Ice Sword, to ensure the complete integration of the Fire Sword, he would spend a full five years.

A whole five years!

Counting the previous year, it has been six years.

Out there, it must already be in chaos.

Princess Lark, I owe you an apology. Left Demon Emperor, I have let down your trust!

Here, I offer my apologies to you both.

Ah, it’s truly wonderful.

Because after a full five years of nurturing and refining, the Fire Sword finally reached a perfect resonance with the Ice Sword, merging into one, transforming into his Lifebound Ice and Fire Flying Sword!

Its quality is not at all inferior to Yue Mountain’s Lifebound Flying Sword of old.

At this moment, Wang Wu stood within the cave, his entire being transformed, his aura like the meeting of yin and yang, naturally morphing his physique into that of a handsome, sunny young man with bright eyes.

It was precisely Lu Wuchen’s third direct disciple—Yue Mountain.

He dared to bet that even if Yue Mountain himself showed up, he wouldn’t be able to tell who was real and who was fake.

“I must kill him, and then replace his identity. This is the future plan of subterfuge.”

Wang Wu murmured to himself, and with a thought, his Lifebound Ice and Fire Flying Sword gracefully descended, transforming into a sword scabbard on his back, the entire process was splendidly picturesque, like that of a dashing young prodigy of the Human Race.

With a slight smile, Wang Wu transformed back into his bear form, and his Lifebound Ice and Fire Flying Sword immediately shrank down to a tiny dot of light, merging into his Ruyi Spirit Pill, the whole conversion was smooth.

“Hmm, I’ll stay here a little longer. Even if the sky falls, there will be taller ones to hold it up.”

Wang Wu was truly reluctant to leave.

Transforming back into human form, he summoned his Lifebound Ice and Fire Flying Sword, gently slicing at the Profound Iron around him. What a scene, as if stabbing a hornet’s nest, a surge of Essence of Gold Qi erupted, he swiftly hid into the Profound Iron House, then maneuvered his Lifebound Flying Sword to refine and absorb the Essence of Gold Qi, this time it was much faster.

Because as long as there was enough Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi, the Ruyi Ice and Fire Dual Spirit Pill was quite powerful.

The refining process was much more pleasing to the eye than the refining process of Lifebound Demon Soldiers.

The vast Essence of Gold Qi was like a golden mist under the setting sun, stirred and pulled by the Flying Sword, like a cloak, like sunset glow, like a flying waterfall, enchanting and mesmerizing.

Unknowingly, a month passed.

With such abundant, readily available Essence of Gold Qi supply, Wang Wu smoothly refined his Lifebound Flying Sword to Celestial Eighth Grade.

However, by this point, his Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi was almost depleted.

Even the Spirit Liquid in the Small Tripod had been consumed in six large drafts.

This was the biggest problem; in this secret cave realm, resources couldn’t be replenished.

After calculating, Wang Wu decided to give up further refining of his Lifebound Flying Sword.

Because he didn’t know what the situation outside was like.

The remaining Spirit Liquid, he must ensure there are resources for three rounds of combat.

It’s worth mentioning that his current Vitality storage limit is 150,000 points.

His Qi Blood limit is 1,200,000 points.

His Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi storage limit is 150,000 points.

While the storage limits of Ice Spiritual Qi and Red Flame Spiritual Qi both reached 200,000 points.

Adding the Ape King Skull and the Fire Poison Remains, these two Innate Treasures.

And the Lifebound Flying Sword itself can store 100,000 Ice Spiritual Qi and 100,000 Red Flame Spiritual Qi.

To fully refill these, it would take at least 11.35 million points of Spiritual Qi + 1.35 million points of Vitality.

Now, the remaining forty-eight drafts of Spirit Liquid can actually only replenish a bit over two times.

Not enough for three times.

“From now on, resource reserves must be put on the agenda, stocked up according to doomsday mode.”

Wang Wu solemnly noted in his heart, how can the road of subterfuge lack basic operations like stocking up?

Before, he had no ability, so it was acceptable. But now, having the ability and still proceeding without preparation would be a serious strategic mistake.

Afterward, Wang Wu placed the Peacock Emperor’s remains into his Storage Pouch, although if the Left Demon Emperor came next, he would definitely notice something amiss, potentially even deducing that he had absorbed that cluster of Yin Fire, but what could he do? The Peacock Emperor’s remains were too valuable…

Standing again on the Teleportation Array, Wang Wu was filled with emotion, over six years, truly reluctant to leave here, hoping for another chance to return next time…

Infusing Qi Blood, the Teleportation Array activated, with a swift flash of blood-colored light, Wang Wu already appeared on a strange stretch of sea, indeed, the exit wasn’t in Black Tortoise Royal City.

The Peacock Emperor is very cautious, afraid of being blocked at the entrance, and this even seems to be a random teleportation?

Wang Wu quickly sensed his surroundings and immediately discovered his Companion Demon Vine, which was still in the South Wilderness.

Didn’t escape?

Interesting.

Hmm, this is the South Sea, only five hundred miles from Black Tortoise Royal City, and after sensing the entire South Wilderness, there is no war, no signs of blood wafting in the air, which is good, it’s very good without trouble.

Then he transformed into demon wind, slowly proceeded, and upon entering Black Tortoise Royal City, saw that there was no change here either, the Royal City Tax Bureau was still operating normally, but the mechanisms on the tax bureau square had all merged, it seemed that as long as he activated the teleportation array from below and was teleported away, this entrance would immediately close.

So he didn’t see Kong Zhen, Ya Bufan, or Yan Feihen standing guard here.

Wang Wu didn’t rush to conclusions and entered the Royal City Tax Bureau, while sensing the situation inside the Tax Collection Cauldron, he also eavesdropped on the tax collectors’ conversations.

Moreover, they all seemed to be in good spirits, as if the entire South Wilderness had been at peace for the past six years, and the development of Dragon and Snake City was very smooth, because these tax collectors were boasting about how invincible Dragon and Snake City was.

The Divine Martial Demon Emperor and the Lark Dynasty Demon Emperor were so wise, of course, in the end, they had to add that King Xiong Wu was the wisest and most martial of them all.

They even vividly described how, three years ago, King Xiong Wu confronted the unreasonable demands of the Right Demon Emperor, neither humble nor pushy, arguing tenaciously, and eventually convincing the Right Demon Emperor!

Goodness!

Upon hearing this, Wang Wu understood that this stand-in of Xiong Shiliu should have come online earlier.

Seems to have done quite well.

With a slight smile, he left Black Tortoise Royal City silently, first going to his own fief, after six years of absence, it was still the same old place, except for that Demon Soldier Legion, which was very formidable.

With the massive input of resources for cultivation, those three thousand demon soldiers were merely eighth-grade trash little demons ten years ago, and after undergoing a bloodline enhancement surgery with Demon King Level Poison Resistance under Wang Wu, their progress over the past ten years was astounding!

Because they’ve all refined a Second Demon Pill, and what that means is quite extraordinary.

Currently, their average strength is at sixth grade, and with continued cultivation, in a hundred years, they can reach an average of third grade.

Three thousand, third-grade great demons with Double Demon Pills, hehe, just the thought is exhilarating.

Therefore, it seems that Yuan Bupu, Old Niu, and Old Pig have also realized this, and these three thousand demon soldiers have formed an independent legion, using the rubbish demon soldiers from later expansions as cover to mislead observers however they can.

Besides that, there are also over a hundred thousand Seek Death Camp members from the Crane Race.

His power is thriving.

Thinking about it, Wang Wu went to see Yuan Bupu, who wasn’t surprised at all, it seems like Xiong Shiliu is tight-lipped.

But in the future, he must gradually bring Xiong Shiliu to the forefront, to transform it into the visible King Xiong Wu.

“Subordinate pays respects to King Xiong Wu.”

Yuan Bupu respectfully saluted, there wasn’t a single flaw to pick, it truly had a fresh start to a resplendent Chapter of destiny, the three demon pills had been mostly cultivated, and in another twenty to thirty years, it could advance to second grade!

In the future, it might advance to first grade.

That is good, too good.

“No need for formalities, you’ve done well, I’ve come to see you with new orders. In about fifty years, I may break through to first grade, and when that happens, I will proclaim myself the Western Demon Emperor, and you, along with the three thousand demon soldiers you are training, are my true reliance. I can’t entrust this matter to Xiong Shiliu nor to Old Niu or Old Pig, only you make me most reassured.”

“In short, do a good job, when you also advance to first grade, you must at least become the Eastern Demon Emperor. By then, we’ll reconquer the West Wilderness!”

Wang Wu was painting a big picture, although he knew with Yuan Bupu’s character, saying these or not was not important.

“Thank you, King Xiong Wu, for your cultivation, this subordinate will repay even with death! However, I do have one matter to consult with King Xiong Wu.”

Yuan Bupu seemed a bit hesitant, but finally, he asked.

“Speak.”

“May I ask the King, how do you plan to deal with Xiong Shiliu? This subordinate knows it made a grave mistake once; however, how the King decides to handle it is not too much, though it’s cunning and ruthless, this subordinate is also worried the King might be deceived by it…”

Yuan Bupu was speaking quite tactfully.

Wang Wu stared at it, thinking Yuan Bupu might have figured out some clues, maybe Xiong Shiliu pretending to be Xiong Wu had revealed some flaw.

If so, Wang Wu nodded.

“Originally, I didn’t want you to know, but to you, I am very reassured, in fact, it’s simple, I made Xiong Shiliu my stand-in. You know, it’s considered my distant cousin, they are all descendants of the Bear Demon Emperor, and it has a natural advantage in this aspect.”

“Subordinate understands, this secret will not be leaked!” Yuan Bupu seemed relieved, it was still very concerned whether Xiong Shiliu was dead or alive.

“There’s one more thing that this subordinate must report to the King. Although Bu Er has also been cultivating these past years, it’s obviously somewhat abnormal. This subordinate suspects that Lu Wuchen’s disciple, Five Poison, is doing something with its offspring. For safety’s sake, this subordinate has already detained Bu Er and put corresponding arrangements in place.”

“I dare to guess, that Five Poison might have a new conspiracy, and might be trying to locate the King’s exact position, potentially posing a danger to the King. This subordinate pleads with the King to be exceedingly cautious.”

“You’ve done very well, I will handle this matter!” Wang Wu nodded satisfactorily, previously in the West Wilderness, Wolf Bu’er was being played by that Five Poison and gave birth to ten little wolf pups.

Now that ten years have passed, the little wolves have likely grown somewhat and are starting to play a role.

It seems, after brushing with the Evil Wind Bone Plague in the Evil Wind Desert this time, it’s a good opportunity to get rid of this Five Poison, keeping this guy around is quite disgusting.
