Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

#418 - The strange calculation of Sauron's Blade

These words were like a bolt from the blue, a roaring echo within the Demon Blade. Anger and resentment intertwined into a powerful force, attempting to break free from its constraints.

His words were filled with accusations against the unfairness of fate, and a deep-seated resentment towards his brother, Suo.

"You are too cruel! I thought that after a thousand years of solitude and pursuit in the Demon Realm, I could at least find some peace after coming to the human world, but I never expected that all of this was your scheme.

I feel ashamed to face you, thinking that leaving your soul within my body was my last act of mercy, but it has resulted in this ending. I am truly the biggest fool under heaven!"

Suo's laughter echoed in the space, tinged with a hint of mockery and helplessness. "Actually, you are not foolish, just too deeply attached.

You envied me for possessing the eyes of time and space, and did not hesitate to spend time and treasure to dig them out and refine them into a demon treasure.

But these two powers are inherently difficult to fuse. Your failure was destined from the start.

If you could have used them separately, you might have obtained two more powerful demon treasures, instead of this half-finished, conflicting entity.

Letting go is sometimes a form of liberation and progress."

Long's roar gradually weakened as he felt his soul being slowly devoured by the Demon Blade, on the verge of losing himself. "So you had planned everything from the beginning, even daring to abandon your innate demon eyes. Why is that?"

Suo's smile deepened. "Why? Because I have higher pursuits.

What I seek is not just power, but to use this power to shatter the heavens and the earth, to斩尽 all obstacles in my path.

This is the difference between you and me. You are too fixated on illusory things, while I only focus on my blade, my Dao."

Long completely lost the strength to resist, his soul gradually blurring within the Demon Blade. "Brother, it turns out that you are the most evil demon.

On the surface, you appear pure and innocent, but in reality, you are scheming and your heart is much more vicious than mine.

I don't think you will succeed. Even if I merge into your Demon Blade, you will never overcome that obstacle."

Suo's laughter remained unchanged. "That is not something you need to worry about. Your existence has come to an end because you are cursed.

If not for that, I might have spared you for a while. But your curse made me realize that if your soul were to be cursed or do something that would harm my body, wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?

Therefore, I am grateful to that little cultivator. He gave me the opportunity to retrieve my eyes.

Remember, greed is the original sin, and both you and I need to be wary."

As Long's soul was completely devoured by the Demon Blade, Suo's eyes became even more resolute.

Suo smiled, gently stroking the new weapon transformed from the Demon Blade in his hand, his eyes flashing with complex emotions. "Good brother, your era has finally come to an end.

To commemorate you, I have decided to name this blade after both of us—the Blade of Solon, and use it to shake the entire world with the name of Dao."

His words carried a hint of imperceptible sorrow, but more so, anticipation and determination for the future.

He turned to look into the distance, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes. "Junior, perhaps you have already fled far away, but no matter where you escape, I will catch you.

Because my eyes, although they have lost my aura, still retain the aura of my brother.

You cannot escape. Your curse is futile to me."

He chuckled softly, seemingly full of confidence in the challenges to come.

Suddenly, the magma beneath his feet exploded, and a fiery dragon shot out from within, its power astonishing and enough to deter all directions.

This special spiritual creature, living in the fiery magma, although it had not yet transformed, had already displayed the strength of a demon king.

However, in front of Solon, it appeared unusually docile, even with a hint of ingratiation.

"Haven't the souls of you two good-for-nothings been extinguished yet?" Solon said to the fiery dragon.

The dragon stretched out its forked tongue in a flattering manner, curling up two golden cores.

Above the golden cores, the souls of Kong Bao and Wang Pu appeared, bowing respectfully to Solon, filled with self-blame and fear.

"Greetings, Master. We two are truly useless, not only did we fail to complete the task, but we also almost messed things up."

Solon snorted coldly, but did not punish them excessively. "I originally wanted you to stop that sacrifice, as I didn't want to be born so quickly.

But now, it's forced me to quickly take control of this body, preventing my strength from fully breaking through.

However, now that things have come to this, you two will make up for your mistakes by taking me to the human race and introducing me to the largest local power. I want to help them fight against the Demon Race and the Evil Dragon Race."

Upon hearing this, Kong Bao and Wang Pu nodded repeatedly, their eyes flashing with excitement. "Rest assured, Master, we two have already thought about how to recommend you.

At that time, Master will surely become a hero of the human race. With Master's strength, you will definitely be able to step into the realm of Half-Step God Transformation in a few decades."

Solon smiled slightly, not taking the flattery of the two seriously. "Alright, let's go then."

He gently patted the fiery dragon's horn, and the latter immediately stretched out its body, its ferocious red scales shimmering in the sunlight, breaking through the air and instantly disappearing into the magma, heading towards the world of the human race.

Within the Living World space, Li Chengfeng held the Shadow Recording Pearl, taking in Solon's plans and actions, and a meaningful smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"What an old fox, truly cunning to the extreme. The thousand-year struggle between the two brothers ultimately ended with the second brother, Suo, winning. Seemingly harmless, but in reality, deeply hidden, with ruthless methods that are truly admirable."

He pondered inwardly, gaining a deeper understanding of Suo's scheming and planning.

"It is not easy for one person to achieve something, let alone to do something to the extreme. Suo has endured for thousands of years, all for today's situation. His patience and perseverance are truly beyond what ordinary people can achieve.

However, his appearance today is probably also forced by my power of curse.

Such good planning also reveals his shortcomings and helplessness."

Li Chengfeng sighed softly, gaining a deeper understanding of Solon's complex personality.

Thinking of Solon's trickiness, Li Chengfeng couldn't help but feel a chill.

He knew that someone like Solon, who possessed both ruthless methods and meticulous thinking, was definitely a difficult character to deal with.

In comparison, demon races like Long, who were hot-tempered and bloodthirsty, although dangerous, were easier to find ways to deal with.

"Better to offend a gentleman than to offend a petty person. This is really troublesome now," Li Chengfeng thought to himself, feeling a trace of annoyance at having inadvertently offended Solon.

But soon, he regained his composure, looked firmly at the Shadow Recording Pearl in his hand, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a smile again.

"The old thing wants to scheme against me? No way!" Li Chengfeng snorted coldly, dismissing Solon's plans.

"Solon deliberately let me hear those words in order to mislead me, to make me think that separating the eyes is the way to obtain the greatest power.

But how could I, Li Chengfeng, be so easily deceived? Not only would it waste a lot of time, but there's no guarantee of success in the end, waiting for you to advance to Half-Step God Transformation.

Perhaps that would be my death date, not only taking away the magic treasure but also斩 me with a blade.

What you said is truly meaningful, but unfortunately, you underestimate me too much."

Li Chengfeng thought to himself, then with a thought, he said to the Old Demon and Little Vermilion Bird who had just returned: "We can't fall for their trap. I, Li Chengfeng, practice the Myriad Transformations Returning to One, how could I care about such a small amount of power? My Dao is unique,

Immediately refine the eyes. I want to create another flying sword—'A Millennium in a Glance', a support-type flying sword that integrates offense, support, and defense. This way, no matter what Solon plans, I can deal with it freely."

Upon hearing this, the Old Demon immediately flattered: "Master is indeed wise, not greedy, acting according to your own plan, unaffected by any external interference. This subordinate truly admires you to the core!"
