I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 3572: Chapter 1748: Sky Rift Valley Spanning the South, Wielding the Sword to Ascend to Immortality

"Brother Shou, only one step remains for Li Jiancheng... Blood Sacrifice!"

Black Rainbow Crosses the Sun, Cao Erzhu restrained his surging emotions, shouting fervently in mid-air.

Hidden Bitter!

Xu Xiaoshou naturally knew it was Hidden Bitter coming.

He also knew that Cao Erzhu had actually finished a few days earlier than him.

And by suppressing the Hidden Bitter Sword Spirit with the Sealing Stone until this moment, they were waiting for this wave of blood sacrifice at the handover.

But...

"What kind of blood sacrifice should be used?"

Xu Xiaoshou was not completely ignorant of artifact building.

But knowing only a little was obviously not enough for him to make the best judgment about Erzhu’s words at this moment.

Body blood, spirit blood?

Or blood from designated parts, like fingertip blood, palm blood?

There are many types of blood, and naturally, there are many types of blood sacrifices. Good or bad, Xu Xiaoshou couldn’t differentiate.

To this, Cao Erzhu only slightly shook his head:

"The sword will tell you."

Whining—

The sword is here!

The Hidden Bitter that swept across defying the heavens, slashing through the long sky, drawing a black rainbow, galloping outside the sky, after a spree, seemed to remember the matter at hand.

The sword hilt rotated.

The sword tip reversed.

Hidden Bitter with blazing fiery light rushed swiftly from beneath the sky.

"Boom boom boom..."

The void echoed with explosions.

What was rushing in at great speed seemed not like a sword, but a massive meteor.

"Wait, why does this scene seem a bit familiar?"

Xu Xiaoshou was momentarily dazed, as if seeing the scene during his first comprehension of the "Reverse Sword Style" in the Spirit Palace.

At that time, he was fighting Zhao Qingteng, Hidden Bitter had inherent spiritual quality, though not high. At the ultimate moment, a spiritual light flashed, he threw the sword away, Hidden Bitter with Sword Telepathy, communicated intent with the sword-bearer, understanding thoughts.

When Xu Xiaoshou lost control, Hidden Bitter flew immortally from the heavens, coming with a reverse sword, piercing Zhao Qingteng through the heart-bone cold.

That was the first time of Sword Telepathy, also the first time he felt that Hidden Bitter had a true self-awareness.

Afterwards, during night cultivation, Xu Xiaoshou realized.

It seemed not the Reverse Sword Style succeeded, but Hidden Bitter’s characteristic, Owner devouring—that sword seemed not to target Zhao Qingteng, but to aim at himself!

"Owner Devouring?"

The cause of yesterday, the effect of today!

Xu Xiaoshou never expected that when this broken sword completed its work, it still held onto this delusion of Owner Devouring, the greedy intention was still alive.

"Rebellious son!"

"Reverse Sword!"

"How dare you?"

Grabbing the sword in the void, Hidden Bitter was completely unresponsive to commands.

Xu Xiaoshou roared angrily, yet Hidden Bitter relentlessly pierced towards his chest.

It was too fast!

It broke through spacetime surpassing the speed of sound.

In one blink still far at the horizon, suddenly in an eye blink, adjacent to the chest.

Even so, Xu Xiaoshou’s reaction speed was not like the Spirit Palace period; he was of course shocked, though he could still dodge if he wanted.

But then...

"Blood Sacrifice?"

At the moment when Hidden Bitter whined and came.

By this time, Xu Xiaoshou finally understood what it mind-consistently sought from its Owner Devouring nature.

"With my heart blood, to blood sacrifice Hidden Bitter?"

...

"Whining—"

A sharp shrill echoed.

The Dao Imparting Mirror image trembled.

People in the five regions could see, suddenly Lord Shou turned from a defensive posture to an embracing posture.

But that Hidden Bitter really disregarded being humane!

It didn’t hesitate even a moment, with unstoppable speed, brutally pierced Lord Shou’s chest...

"Heart!"

Feng Zhongzui roared, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Hidden Bitter pierced into Lord Shou’s heart with such force, it pushed Lord Shou back, making him stagger half a step.

——Demi-saint Pei Yuan never made Lord Shou retreat half a step till dying!

"What is this situation?"

"Blood sacrifice, is this how the blood sacrifice is performed?"

"Isn’t it using fingertip blood, sprinkling on the sword body, to call upon spiritual quality, to form a contract?"

"This blood sacrifice is too, too, too..."

Too primitive!

Too brutal!

Too taxing on the sword-bearer!

Feng Zhongzui was momentarily speechless.

The Ancient Sword Cultivation World was originally fragile, only Lord Shou was an exception.

If every one of them blood sacrificed like this, the already dwindling population of Ancient Sword cultivators would only worsen.

But their blood sacrifice method...

"Seems to have a miraculous effect?"

The Dao Imparting Mirror’s image zoomed in, Hidden Bitter First Grade, actually able to pierce through Lord Shou’s physique, was the most terrifying.

In the end, the sword surprisingly wasn’t influenced by the amount of Lord Shou’s power, after piercing through the heart, the sword tip protruded from the back, still wriggling excitedly.

It was like an old wolf that had craved a lamb’s deliciousness for years, finally enjoying success, drinking blood while howling wildly.

"Gurgle gurgle..."

"Gurgle gurgle..."

A very clear, very bright sound of blood thirsting.

Feng Zhongzui found the right angle, able to clearly see, the blood from Lord Shou’s heart was surging in waves towards the sword body of Hidden Bitter.

"It’s really drinking blood!"

This is too exaggerated, is Hidden Bitter a hippo? Such a drinking amount, it’s feared nobody else in the Ancient Sword Cultivation World except Lord Shou could provide it.

Lord Shou’s Power Upanishad Formation had long since started.

His face not only didn’t show any weakness, instead, with the flowing of blood, with the sword force that Hidden Bitter fed back into his body, it became more rosy.

"Sword Cognition!"

Feng Zhongzui observed keenly.

Between blood leaving and force arriving, there was vaguely a silvery white luster flashing, it was sword cognition.

Witness Sword Technique of Lord Shou, transformation after Hidden Bitter First Grade...

Lord Shou’s name, Hidden Bitter’s name...

"Fluid and harmonious blending!"

...

"Delightful!"

Xu Xiaoshou felt so pleasant he wanted to roar.

One sword through the heart only gave him that moment of pain, after which the sword cognition gushed in...

Xu Xiaoshou had never felt such a feedback amount!

He had nourished Hidden Bitter for so long.

Hidden Bitter was nameless, self was nameless.

Hidden Bitter was weak, self was weak.

On usual days, it was fine if he could cultivate a strand of sword cognition over several days.

Now!

Under the watchful eyes of the five regions.

After the fame spread far and wide, resounding through the five regions.
