Martial World's
Ch 557 - Ancient Tome
In his training room, Lin Ming was looking through his Heavenly Demon Tattoo. The tattoo has three pairs of wings. The first two were already fully formed, and the third one was quite clear.
"I'm only one step away from becoming a six-winged Heavenly Demon. The low energy of Xue Man was too condensed and powerful. If I do not practice carefully in suppressing my inner thoughts, then even I will be affected by the hellish energy. Although I will not lose my rationality, it will still affect my character. ”
The human disposition will always change due to various factors. But, Lin Ming did not want his character to change due to low energy
Lin Ming took out the spatial ring of Xue Man and pulled out everything within it. There were several middle-grade Blood Demon Crystal boxes and small boxes of high-grade Blood Demon Crystals. There were also a large number of pills, jade slips, and treasures. This Xue Man was much, much richer than Lan Xing.
Lin Ming roughly estimated the item. There were around 80 to 90,000 medium-level Blood Demon Crystals and over 70 high-grade Blood Demon Crystals.
This was truly a frightening amount of wealth. Xue Man killed almost all of his opponents; it was no wonder that he had accumulated this much wealth.
As for those jade slips, most of them were cultivation methods and secret manuals. Xue Man was from a fifth-grade great sect. These cultivation methods were worth quite a bit, but they were not very useful to Lin Ming.
He swept through everything and prepared to put it away, when suddenly something caught his attention.
In the messy pile, Lin Ming found a simple wooden box. The moment he opened the box, there was an ordinary-looking jade slip inside. Near this jade slip was a very old thick book of leather tied up.
Lin Ming first took out a jade slip. Inside were some records recorded by Xue Man.
Goliath language is the same as Giant Demons. Lin Ming could completely understand everything.
Lin Ming continued to inspect it, and a few phrases appeared to him. One of them was Supreme Chief Xue Yan. In the Skysplit Tower, the ten-winged Heavenly Demon was called a High God. This High Lord Xue Yan was one of the 12 High Lords of Polaris City.
Every time Xue Man mentioned High Lord Xue Yan in the jade slip, his words were filled with great respect and respect. It's a kind of respect that comes from the bottom of one's heart, and even a little fear. This caused Lin Ming to be extremely shocked. In his view, Xue Yan was an extremely rampant and ruthless individual; how could he possibly appreciate someone from his heart? What is so special about this Venerable Xue Yan?
Other than this, there were a few other words that caught the attention of Lin Ming – Eternal Demon Abyss and Demon God Bone.
The jade slip of Xue Yan mentioned these things, but the record was not very clear. In the end, Lin Ming could not say what this was
Looking inside, there was no more valuable information. Lin Ming then put away the jade slip and turned his gaze to the old thick book.
When Lin Ming opened the thick book, he saw that inside was a portrait of a Giant Demon and a Goliath martial artist. They should have been erased and copied from the stone carvings.
Near each portrait was written the person's name, the short life story, and also their specific cultivation. Most of them were Demon Emperor level powerhouses.
Among these individuals were characters from tens of thousands of years ago and even those only a few thousand years ago.
Without exception, they all have one trait. They all ... have died.
Regardless of what kind of peerless legendary talents they once were, or what kind of existence they were too arrogant, invincible, whose presence could only move the entire Holy Demon Continent … all of them are dead.
Who are these people? Why were their portraits rubbed into this tome? How else are they connected to each other?
As Lin Ming was lost in his thoughts, his mind suddenly shook. In the thick book, there was a face that he had seen before. This guy's got a 10-foot bloody axe. He had a head full of flaming hair, and his expression was gloomy and dark.
This face was similar to the fierce red demon Lin Ming had seen when he absorbed the Crushed Demon Heart Crystal.
Could it…
Lin Ming's eyes fell onto this portrait record. It says: “The Great Emperor of Netherworld. Born in the Sacred Devil's Calendar of 36,500, died in the year of the Sacred Demon Calendar of 39,700. He lived for more than three thousand years. The talent of this man was comparable to that of a Demon God. He reached the Demon King realm at the age of 24, entered the Emperor's quasi-region at the age of 50, and attained the Great Success of the Demon Art at the age of 60, breaking into the Emperor realm. The Netherworld Great Emperor searched for 100 years to find a rival. Finally, he strangely disappeared, falling from the sky after 3000 years. The cause of his death is still unknown. ”
After Lin Ming saw this record, he was stunned. The Netherworld Great Emperor who had set up Silent Demon Emperor City was actually in this tome!
Without a doubt, the cause of his unknown disappearance was because he went to the Sky Spill Continent. Since he had gone to the Sky Spill Continent, how could the author of this tome know where he went or if he perished?
Lin Ming daydreamed as he continued reading. After a few pages, he saw the shocking figure of – Demon Emperors.
"The Demon Emperor is actually in this tome?"
Lin Ming took a breath of cold air. Compared to a 3000-year-old Great Netherworld Emperor, a Demon Emperor was much different. He lived for tens of thousands of years before finally surging into the God Realm. Even there, he was a heaven-shaking figure. Finally, he joined in the encirclement of the Green Feather Holy Land. He is truly a legend among legends.
This figure that had existed tens of thousands of years ago had very little information left behind about him that still existed. Even so, this ancient tome had actually been recorded?
As Lin Ming looked at the records near the portrait of the Demon Emperor, there were only a few words "Devil Emperor. His birth was pleasant and his death pleasant. The cause of death is unclear. ”
They even knew that the Demon Emperor had died?
Lin Ming felt his heart turn cold. The Demon Emperor had died in the Realm of the Gods.
After suppressing his shock, Lin Ming continued flipping through the thick book. The numbers behind are from tens of thousands of years ago. Some did not even have a name, let alone a field of cultivation.
Most of them were at the Emperor level.
Those who had yet to reach the Emperor level were those who had died at a young age. Usually, this is under 50 years old. But all these perishing individuals were the absolute heaven-defying talents of their generation. They often reached the Core realm of Revolution at the age of 24 or 25, and then stepped into the realm of Life Destruction at the age of 30 to 40.
In other words, these people might not reach the level of an Emperor, but if they did not die they would definitely become a Farmless Emperor!
This tome has recorded all the top geniuses over the past tens of thousands of years.
“Because this ancient tome is a collection of rubbed images, there should be an engraving somewhere. But who carved out so many power plants? "Lin Ming couldn't help but wonder this question. It should be known that the forces here are all very closed in on their actions. So how could sculptors know if they were dead or not?
Not only that, but the portraits in this tome all had very human-like expressions. For example, the Netherworld Great Emperor and the Demon Emperor were all very similar to what Lin Ming saw in his memories. But the Demon Emperor was a character from tens of thousands of years ago, so how could one possibly know how to carve his face?
Lin Ming's heart was filled with doubt.
Since he did not know the reason, he closed the thick book and placed it back into his spatial ring.
“There's no point worrying about this now. My match with Xing Tian was in just one month. I have to use all the time I have left to train. ”
After Lin Ming killed Xue Man, he had accumulated seven additional slaughter points. Other than his own two slaughter points, he now had nine total points. This was enough for him to train freely in the upper class area.
Lin Ming took out some high-grade Blood Demon Crystals from his spatial ring. He held one in his hand and placed another nine on the ground beside him. Using 10 high-grade Demonic Blood Crystals simultaneously could be considered a supreme luxury. Even someone like Xue Man would only use a high-grade Blood Demon Crystal at one time and never do anything in vain.
It should be known that Xue Man only had 70 high-grade Demonic Blood Crystals in his spatial ring. If he used it so extravagantly then it would only last for ten days at most.
Lin Ming did not care about the cost at all. As long as he could increase his cultivation speed, any price was worth it.
'The 'Great Desolate Halberd Art' was originally a top cultivation method manual. Other than the rich infernal energy in this high-class training area, the support of the six-winged Heavenly Demon Tattoo, and the function of refined martial intent, Lin Ming's cultivation speed could be called astronomical.
And like this, ten days passed. All high-grade Blood Demon Crystals were completely depleted.
Lin Ming left his practice room and went straight to the second-floor city square. He found the fat Fey he called a few days ago.
As soon as the fat seller saw Lin Ming, his entire face was covered with a humble smile. Ten days ago, the story of Lin Ming killing Xue Man had already spread throughout the entire second floor. The fat seller was very clear about how powerful Xue Man was, yet that legendary figure had died under Lin Ming's hands. Now that he looked at Lin Ming, he felt his heart thump.
"Young Hero Lin, how can I help you?" The fat merchant asked with his hands down, a respectful smile plastered on his lips.
"Are you exchanging high-grade Demonic Blood Crystals like I requested?"
"Young Hero Lin, how can I help you?" The fat merchant asked with his hands down, a respectful smile plastered on his lips.
"Are you exchanging high-grade Demonic Blood Crystals like I requested?"
“Yes, there should be a total of 100. Please count. "The fat seller took a box and opened it. The inside shone with high-grade Blood Demon Crystals.
Lin Ming glanced at him; his number was correct.
"As per our agreement, 100 of them are a total of 11,500 medium-level Blood Demon Crystals. I'll give it to you now. ”
As Lin Ming spoke, he took out 11 boxes of Blood Demon Crystals.
The fat seller laughed nervously, “Young Hero Lin is too polite. Well, how about we go with the lowest price; I don't want to overcharge you. 10,000 crystals should be fine! "
"We'll go with what we agreed. '' Lin Ming counted 11,500 medium-level Blood Demon Crystals. He wanted to exchange the large number of middle-grade crystals he had with high-tier crystals as soon as possible. If he shortened the fat seller, then he might be able to trade one or two more times, but eventually the fat trader would not be able to bear the losses and Lin Ming would have to find someone else.
"Then I .. Thank you Young Hero Lin. "The fat seller laughed, his eyes narrowed.
“I just do what is necessary. This time I want to trade for high-tier Blood Demon Crystals; more is better . Also, I want you to sell some items for me with a commission. I'll give you a 5% cut%. Don't play me. I have a general idea of how much. ”
As Lin Ming spoke, he took out a spatial ring from his hand and threw it at the fat vendor.
The fat seller immersed his soul force into the spatial ring and casually swept over. He suddenly became secretly shocked. Nothing in this ring is of low value. The treasures were mostly left after the deaths of Lan Xing and Xue Man. If he really sold everything, including jade slips, pills, and so on, then it would be no less than 100,000 medium-level Blood Demon Crystals. If he could take a 5% cut, then it would be 5000 Mid-class Demon Crystals.
This is not a small fortune. The fat merchant's breathing grew faster. He puffed out his chest and slapped him with assurance. "Young Hero Lin, please feel relieved. I will never have the guts to take advantage of you! ”
"It is best if you can turn them all into high-grade Blood Demon Crystals. I don't need a middle class. ”
"Young Hero Lin, rest assured, I will handle this matter with absolute grace. ”
