It truly is the Li King’s Tripod!
Ye Wushuang’s expression was one of astonishment.
The token bore countless tiny characters.
“The Li Clan’s Li King’s Tripod, brought back from the Tianyuan Continent by a former clan leader, is a royal-grade spiritual artifact!”
“This ding can be elevated to the heavenly royal grade, but it requires the flesh and blood of a male infant born at the Yangtianyangshi (a specific auspicious time) and precisely one hundred days old to be refined.”
“To enhance the quality of this ding, members of our Li Clan have secretly abducted thousands of male infants born at Yangtianyangshi and one hundred days old. This is utterly inhumane!”
“Li Yun of the Li Clan could not bear to continue and thus stole the Li King’s Tripod, taking it out of the clan and spending his entire life in hiding.”
“But this ding is truly domineering and requires the nourishment of vital energy and blood. Even though I am at the Wanfa realm, I cannot sustain this ding any longer and can only leave it here to await someone with fate!”
“I sincerely hope that future martial cultivators do not become obsessed with this ding and turn into demons who only know how to kill!”
Ye Wushuang gazed at the fine inscriptions, his expression stunned.
If the Li King’s Tripod merely required killing and absorbing vital energy to ascend, it wouldn’t be considered evil. After all, in the world of martial artists, countless people die every day.
However, using male infants born at Yangtianyangshi and one hundred days old for refinement is indeed inhumane. To refine this ding, the Li Clan has already killed thousands of infants!
No wonder Li Yun stole the Li King’s Tripod, even at the cost of being vilified.
Now, Ye Wushuang faced two choices.
One, to leave the ding here and let it continue to gather dust.
Two, to take the ding away. But the Li King’s Tripod was not easy to control. Even someone at the Wanfa realm couldn’t withstand the ding’s thirst for flesh and blood. One could only imagine the difficulty.
However…
To abandon a royal-grade spiritual artifact?
That would be foolish!
As for the ding’s need to absorb vital energy and blood, that would have to be dealt with after gaining control over it!
Without a word, Ye Wushuang took a step forward and grasped the two ears of the Li King’s Tripod.
Buzz…
Suddenly.
A thousand-zhang radiance surged from within the Li King’s Tripod into the sky.
In the next moment, the ears of the ding directly吸附住 Ye Wushuang’s hands.
And then, a terrifying suction force began to emanate from within the ding.
“Think you can absorb me?”
Ye Wushuang let out a cold snort. The Golden-Winged Fire Crane’s essence blood he had collected earlier spread across his palms.
The Li King’s Tripod seemed overjoyed at the blood, like a parched traveler seeing a lake, and greedily absorbed it all.
The essence blood was continuously consumed.
Yet the Li King’s Tripod showed no sign of satisfaction.
Until finally, when the Golden-Winged Fire Crane’s essence blood was completely devoured, the ding still remained unsatisfied and began to directly absorb Ye Wushuang’s vital energy and blood.
At this moment, Ye Wushuang distinctly felt the depletion of his essence blood, draining at an extremely terrifying rate.
“Damn it!”
With a low curse, Ye Wushuang clenched his hand, and the Nine-Heavens Spirit-Subduing Pagoda within his mind was activated.
A nine-layered ancient cyan tower appeared before Ye Wushuang’s forehead.
“Subdue!”
With a mental command.
Ancient yellowish-brown energy immediately spread from within the Nine-Heavens Spirit-Subduing Pagoda and descended upon the ancient ding.
Instantly, the terrifyingly voracious aura of the Li King’s Tripod vanished.
Ye Wushuang panted heavily, using the Nine-Heavens Spirit-Subduing Pagoda to directly store the ding in its second layer.
When the Li King’s Tripod appeared in the second layer of the Nine-Heavens Spirit-Subduing Pagoda, the terrifying pressure of the Nine-Origin Tai Xu Sword made the ding seem like a lonely and frightened child, shrinking into a corner of the pagoda and trembling.
Only then did Ye Wushuang collapse to the ground, panting heavily and pale-faced.
This was a genuine royal-grade spiritual artifact!
Even someone at the Wanfa realm couldn’t subdue it!
Fortunately, the ding had not yet ascended to the heavenly royal grade; otherwise, he would have been drained dry in just a short while.
“It requires the nourishment of vital energy and blood… and the flesh and blood of a male infant born at Yangtianyangshi and one hundred days old to upgrade…”
Ye Wushuang gradually calmed his breathing and murmured to himself, “There will be a way in the future.”
However, upon second thought, Ye Wushuang felt somewhat helpless.
The Nine-Origin Tai Xu Sword standing in the second layer, which he had once wielded to display its might, had almost drained his own vital energy and blood.
Now, the Li King’s Tripod also required vital energy and blood.
Moreover, to break through to the third layer of the Nine-Heavens Spirit-Subduing Pagoda, even more vital energy and blood would be needed!
But where could he obtain so much vital energy and blood?
He couldn’t possibly keep killing people endlessly!
And at that moment, from above the pit, faint sounds could be heard from the surrounding passages.
In the next moment, a figure descended.
Ye Wushuang’s gaze fell upon the figure, his eyes cold and indifferent.
