Chapter Thirty-Three: The Blazing Sky Demon Domain

  Today's second update~~~

  Zhang Zhongxin was bitter in his heart, but he had no choice but to hand over the remaining crystal stones on his body to Wang Daozhong. In his heart, he secretly thought...

  "This old man is going to be killed today."

  He didn't hear this sentence in Wang Daozhong, he put away the crystal stone and smiled.

  "The spiritual tool of the immortal cultivator is similar to the alchemy symbol, but the medium used is the need for heavenly material and earthly treasure, constantly grinding and refining, only then can it become a tool embryo. The better the material used, the better the tool embryo will be. However, in order to have a high rank, this is just the first step. The second step is that a powerful alchemy master uses his own spiritual power to merge the power of heaven and earth into the tool embryo, and only after being nourished by the power of heaven and earth can it become a spiritual tool."

  "If a cultivator wants to make this spiritual instrument their own, they only need to acknowledge its ownership with a drop of blood."

  This time, Wang Dao was in a good mood and spoke to him with great patience. In the end, he even gave him a set of techniques for practicing stick skills.

  After chatting with Wang Daozhong, Zhang Chong looked at the [Heart-Eating Stick], as the saying goes, "the ignorant are fearless". Although this stick had a terrifying name, Zhang Chong didn't care in the slightest. He carefully pricked his middle finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the [Heart-Eating Stick].

  The bright red color of the blood and the black cold rod formed a sharp contrast, but after dripping onto the heart-eating rod, it disappeared instantly without a trace.

  There was no reaction at all, nothing on the stick, and even less in his body.

  "Strange, doesn't this method work?" Zhang Chong's heart was curious, and after dripping a few more times, there was still no reaction.

  "Spiritual power and the power of heaven and earth." This was the second key point that Zhang Chong heard from Wang Dao's words, unfortunately, he didn't have any spiritual power on his body. However, this wouldn't stop him.

  Brother will [one specified乾坤], this move makes it come out, and it is possible to turn the power of heaven and earth into one's own use. If you slightly change this heavenly power and wrap it around the Devouring Heart Stick, won't you be able to succeed?

  Of course, in this process, it is necessary to make some modifications to the moves of [a specified乾坤] so that they are no longer attacking but entwining. Although this is not easy, for Zhang Chong, who has a strong foundation in Lianfu, it's not particularly difficult either.

  Thinking of this, Zhang Chong immediately took action.

  The modification work was completed quickly, he took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the Heart Devouring Stick in front of him, his fingers stretched out and swiftly wrapped around it. A faint, transparent aura emerged from his fingertips as they moved, wrapping around the Heart Devouring Stick.

  The Devouring Heart Rod, under the influence of the heavenly power brought by Chong, violently shook for a moment before becoming still once again.

  "There's a reaction," Zhang Chong saw the situation and couldn't help but feel extremely joyful, his fingers moving even faster to bring about the power of heaven and earth, wrapping around the "Devouring Heart Stick". However, just after that one moment, the "Devouring Heart Stick" returned to its previous state of being a stagnant pool of water.

  But Zhang Chong still didn't give up. His right hand continued to cast the spell, while his left hand once again moved forward, dripping his own blood onto it.

  At this moment, 【Devouring Heart Stick】 suddenly emitted a thick black mist in the instant when the blood dripped.

  The fog moved in the opposite direction of the dripping blood, rushing past quickly, and before Zhang Chong could react, the black fog immediately wrapped around his entire body.

  Wherever the fog reached, Zhang Chong's limbs immediately became immobile, and his eyes also fell into a daze. The gaze that looked over was empty and hollow, just like the golden armor guards he had refined.

  The fog did not just wrap around his body, but also seeped into every inch of his skin, crazily surging inward.

  Black fog emerged from 【Devouring Heart Rod】, seemingly endless, continuously gushing out.

  It seems that its intention is to control Zhang Chong in general.

  On the contrary, Zhang Chong's body was constantly flowing out from his middle finger, towards the "Heart-Devouring Stick", which also absorbed it without hesitation, as if there was no end to its absorption.

  However, just as the black fog was about to reach Zhang Chong's heart, it was blocked by a strand of silver-white light.

  A silver-white light contrasted sharply with the black mist, and although it was only a small wisp, it firmly guarded Zhang Chong's heart, preventing the black mist from advancing even half a step.

  When Zhang Chong woke up again, he found himself lying on the ground, posing in a very strange posture. And in front of him, there was no trace of the Devouring Heart Stick anymore.

  "Huh, where did this 'Heart-Devouring Stick' go?" Zhang Chong carefully thought back to everything that had happened before, the strange scene seeming like a very long and terrifying dream.

  In Zhang Chong's heart, just as he was thinking of the Devouring Heart Stick, it suddenly appeared in his hand. However, it was different from before - it no longer felt cold to the touch.

  Looking at the 【Devouring Heart Rod】 in his hand, Zhang Chong was also taken aback for a moment, and he didn't understand the situation. He looked at the 【Devouring Heart Rod】 in his hand, and there was a faint red color on the rod's body, which seemed to be the color of blood. On one side of the rod, however, there was an additional silver pearl-like object embedded in the position of the 【Devouring Heart Rod】.

  【Devouring Heart Stick】Why did it become like this, Zhang Chong wasn't quite sure, but he could sense that the stick seemed to have a mysterious connection with him.

  As soon as he thought of retrieving it, the stick immediately disappeared.

  "Is this what it means to acknowledge a master through blood? It seems that the staff has already entered my body." Zhang Chong's heart was also filled with surprise and joy at this transformation. He thought for a moment, and once again the staff appeared in his hand.

  After repeating this process several times, Zhang Chong had become quite skilled at summoning the rod in and out of his body. He then took out the incantation he had recorded and began practicing his rod technique. However, under this incantation, he couldn't feel any of the power of the "Devouring Heart Rod". Compared to his "One Design Heaven and Earth", it was inferior by more than just tens of times.

  It wasn't long before Zhang Chong felt disheartened and stopped practicing.

  His mind was still thinking about how to use this [Heart Devouring Stick]. Ranged combat is too short, it's better to use Golden Armor Guard, but in close combat, there's a better use for [One Design Heaven and Earth], looks like it's really a useless thing.

  Just thinking about it, Zhang Chong had asked a few questions on the way to Wang Dao, losing quite a few crystal stones, and yet this was the result he got, leaving him feeling somewhat tearless.

  Just then, there was a knock at the door. The person knocking on the door was Liu Sheng. When he saw Zhang Chong open the door, he spoke up and said,

  "Hurry up and pack, we're going to the Genius Battle location."

  "What? Isn't there still a month left?" Zhang Chong thought to himself that he hadn't misremembered the time.

  Liu Sheng listened to this and looked at him with a glance, smiling and saying:

  "The time for cultivation has indeed passed very quickly, and I didn't expect these four months to pass so quickly. Alright, let's not say more."

  Zhang Chong's heart was clear, when he started cultivating the Devouring Heart Stick, there was still a month left. Liu Sheng also knew very well that this person was obsessed with cultivation and would not lie, and he couldn't possibly deceive him on such a big matter.

  "Could it be that I spent a whole month, just to get this 'Heart-Devouring Stick' to acknowledge me as its master? During this time, how come I didn't have the slightest impression?" Zhang Chong shook his head, unable to understand, and followed Liu Sheng out of the door.

  The place where the battle of geniuses takes place is called the Blazing Sky Demon Domain, which is an otherworldly space.

  Unlike the boundary, the Demon Realm is a closed space that was opened up by the strong of the demon clan at the cost of great power. The location of this space can only be reached through the demon clan's transmission array. And in the Demon Realm, there will not be any ordinary people existing, that place is where the strong of the demon clan live.
