Chapter 806: Armament Manual

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“Naturally, it’s because of this Ancient Armament Manual!”

Fang Yuan flipped his palm, and the Ancient Armament Manual book from Nie Kuang appeared.

This book had golden threads and a silver surface. It could not be destroyed easily by weapons and was impenetrable by fire and water. It was similar to the silk scroll he obtained before, but was much thicker.

“The author of this Armament Manual was also a talented person. I even suspect that he came from a foreign world. Not only did he rank all of the Divine Armaments and Demonic Armaments, but he had also researched many secret techniques on armaments… There aren’t many things that capture my attention from this book, but the insane hypothesis he raised at the end is really interesting!”

“What hypothesis?”

The Sanguine Demon knew that this lad had an astonishingly high world view. If there was something that he found interesting, it definitely had to be something groundbreaking.

“The Divine Armaments and Demonic Armaments are the main aspects in this world! Furthermore, each of them has its own unique rules and a charm from the heavens and the earth… have you noticed?” Fang Yuan asked suddenly.

“Of course…” The Sanguine Demon also deeply approved. “The rules of this world caused this. My bones and blood were very profound and extraordinary, and they weren’t something that could be cast by an insignificant person.”

Everything basically meant that this world was very suited for the birth of these kinds of Divine Armaments. Even extraterrestrial objects could be warped and transformed.

“The author of this Armament Manual did not have any impressive abilities himself. Because of damage to the natural source, the Dao of Martial Arts is forever unable to advance… Thus, he had this insane hypothesis: gather innumerable Divine Armaments and weapons to cast a unique, all-encapsulating, and unparalleled Sacred Armament!”

Fang Yuan let out a long sigh. “In fact, if he were to gather a portion of the Dao rules within the Divine Armaments and Demonic Armaments and refine them in a furnace, thereby casting them together to forge a completely new Great Dao. This could entirely be called the pinnacle of a Pseudo Dao!”

“This… is really opening up another route! No wonder he died early!”

The Sanguine Demon’s Essence Soul gasped in astonishment.

As an existence equal to Demon Gods and Emperors, he completely understood the difficulty.

The Divine Demon realm of martial artists still had some differences with a true Mental Demon Demon God. Most important was their own Great Dao!

In this world, only God Pan had truly reached the standard of a Mental Demon Demon God.

No matter how talented the other martial artists were, they were unable to make this step due to the environmental restrictions.

However, the owner of this Ancient Armament Manual wanted to rise to the top. Beyond fusing the Divine Armaments and Demonic Armaments into one, he wanted to forge a ‘Pseudo Dao’.

It could be said that if he had succeeded, he would have been an existence on the same level as God Pan!

Of course, the backlash from doing so was great.

Evidently, the owner of the Ancient Armament Manual could not withstand it and was already directly annihilated without any remnants. Otherwise, there would be nothing involving Fang Yuan.

“Hehe… The original owner of the Armament Manual was definitely asking for death. I have calculated that in this world of Divine Armaments, there can only be one existence that exceeds the limitations permitted here, which is the Celestial Thearch Sword owner! But strictly speaking, the Celestial Thearch Sword owner has merely been given the inheritance of God Pan…”

The eyes of the Sanguine Demon’s Essence Soul were full of regret. “Lad… the backlash of the entire world broke me. You won’t be able to withstand it either!”

Of course, he was not trying to help Fang Yuan. However, if Fang Yuan were to die, would the Celestial Thearch Sword owner let him go? It was completely a case where both parties achieved glory together or were defeated together.

“The greater the risk, the greater the reward. For this adage, the converse is true too. I understand it! But…”

Fang Yuan laughed.

The rewards were too great, and he could not bear to miss them!

According to the words in his previous world, extracting the power of rules from the Divine Armaments and Demonic Armaments to cast a Pseudo Dao was equivalent to the difference between a Golden Core and an Outer Core in a cultivation novel.

Even though there were many hidden dangers, when Foundation Establishment cultivators refined an Outer Core, they would immediately be seen as Golden Core grandmasters.

This was the same situation now.

Once he truly succeeded and brought it back to the Spiritual Realm, there would instantly be an additional combat power equivalent to an Emperor!

Of course, the combat power of such an Emperor was largely exaggerated and impractical, and could at most bully a few ordinary Demon Gods and Ancient Gods, but it was still no small matter.

Furthermore, the Outer Core was a Pseudo Dao, but not an External Dao!

Demon Masters influenced by an External Dao would contaminate their foundations and thus had no hopes of achieving a Great Dao.

However, this kind of Pseudo Dao could be integrated into his own system.

After all, the Dao of Dream Master was all-inclusive. Furthermore, Fang Yuan had started out as a Dream Master!

After he became a Demon God in the future, he would control two Great Daos, and his combat prowess could all of a sudden rise to the peak among Demon Gods!

Such a glorious future was certainly something worth him fighting for!

Furthermore, the previous hidden dangers could be immediately resolved here.

There were specialized Divine Armament and Demonic Armament melting and separating techniques in the Ancient Armament Manual. As long as they were followed accordingly, he could definitely melt the Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror and add it to his accumulations.

With so many benefits, and this place merely being a distraction, he would truly regret it if he did not give it a shot!

“Seems that your decision has already been made. I won’t persuade you anymore. Anyway, I have to warn you that if you were to accomplish this unprecedented undertaking, the Celestial Thearch Sword owner will be your nemesis! Furthermore, I suspect that without the Celestial Thearch Sword, this plan of yours can’t be completed at all!” said the Sanguine Demon in a low voice. “Also… before you decide to embark on this journey toward death, please remember to gather all my fragments. At that time, my Essence Soul can escape the restrictions, and I’ll give you this Blood Imbibing Saber.!”

If he did not mention this first, he was afraid that this merciless lad would turn his back on him!

“All right! It’s a deal!”

Fang Yuan laughed. This was a smart person.

…

In a flash, many years had passed since the opening of the Heaven Deity Palace.

The winds and clouds moved in the Pugilistic World!

In these years, it could be said that the clouds scudded and winds rose in the Pugilistic World.

First, it was rumored that after the Heaven Deity Palace opened, many experts from the Orthodox Dao and Demon Dao had gathered, but shortly after, they suffered disastrous casualties. The Orthodox Dao lost pillars such as Ba Dao, Kong Fanxing, and Chen Qiyou; while the Demon Dao did not have it much better. Both sides suffered massive damage to their vitality, while the lucky ones who survived were very secretive over what had happened, leaving others with infinite space for imagination.

Afterward was the issue concerning the Golden Breeze Drizzle Building!

Since Chen Qiyou had died, the Golden Breeze Drizzle Building immediately became a highly attractive prize for many Pugilistic World powers and immoral authorities.

But astonishingly, what was expected to be a fierce struggle quickly ended. Many powers coveting this building became successively frustrated and retreated after numerous casualties. It was only known that a mysterious person had forcefully entered the fray and devoured the entire Golden Breeze Drizzle Building in one mouthful, leaving no leftovers for others.

Furthermore, the name of this building was also changed to the Armament Repository!

As for who the Armament Repository Master was and what his intentions were⁠—even whether he was good or evil, male or female⁠—nearly nobody knew anything.

However, this building continued to operate its previous prosperous business. Most sensational was updating the ranks of the Divine Armaments and Demonic Armaments!

Emerald Rock Commandery, Armament Repository.

“Those who achieve magnificent results are all from my generation, but time flies once I enter the Pugilistic World!”

It was noon, and the restaurant was filled. Many rich customers dressed as martial artists sat in a circle. Some ate and drank, while some listened attentively an old storyteller.

The old storyteller became happier seeing this and smacked his gavel. “It is said that progress is made when the waves behind urge those in front. For twenty-one cycles in the Pugilistic World, the rankings of all the experts under the heavens change once every twenty years, but the top ten Divine Armaments and top ten Demonic Armaments have not changed before… until today. The Armament Repository Master has reconstructed the Armament Manual and published everything under the heavens. As an elder, I am in awe of that mentality and demeanor. Today, I will tell all of you the new rankings!”

Inside, he was somewhat grateful toward the Armament Repository.

Regarding the previous Golden Breeze Drizzle Building, such information could only be purchased from the third floor. How could it be casually passed on to them to announce to everyone and attract popularity?

“All right!”

Many martial artists cheered, and some eagerly tossed out a few silver coins directly as a reward.

First, reconstructing the Armament Manual involved too many issues and was difficult to define. Second, it was too easy to offend someone, and history had shown that it would not lead to a good outcome.

Being able to do something like this, without considering any aspects, the Armament Repository had much more courage than the Golden Breeze Drizzle Building.

“Thank you all for your appreciation. I will talk about the Divine Armaments first!”

The old storyteller raised his hand with a smile filling his face. “The first Divine Armament is naturally the Celestial Thearch Sword. Unquestionably, it is only because this sword has been lost for a long time that it’s rumored to not appear unless the world undergoes a tribulation. The second is the Coiled Dragon Silk and the treasure of the Orthodox Dao’s Fairy Sect. It’s rumored that this Fairy Sect only accepts females and the former Sacred Ladies were all peerless beauties…. The third is the Spring Autumn Dragon Saber, and it has the profundity of Spring and Autumn and copious might. Unfortunately, after the last appearance of the Heaven Deity Palace, its location was lost with the death of Ba Dao…

“The fourth Divine Armament is the Peach Blossom Fan. Its wielder is Tang Shushu, known as the most handsome man of the Pugilistic World’s Orthodox Dao! The fifth Divine Armament is the Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror… After that, it’s the Five Elements Cloud Qi Sword, Righteousness Ruler, White Tiger Pole, Dragon Engraving Bow, and Black Tortoise Shield!”

The old storyteller spoke continuously while the other Martial Artist sneered. “Harping on the same old thing. Isn’t this the same ranking as last time?”

“It’s true for the Divine Armaments, but the changes for the Demonic Armaments are large! Furthermore… the Armament Manual issued by the Armament Repository records all the information on various armament-wielding martial artists and even the previous wielders. This act is completely different from the ones before which individually ranked the Armaments. For instance, the seventh Righteousness Ruler was broken in the Heaven Deity Palace with the death of Kong Fanxing, but a few righteous swordsmen brought the pieces out and returned them to the Kong family for repair… There’s actually a layer in the middle, and the Kong family has a secret technique named ‘Everlasting Righteousness’. Even though the Righteousness Ruler has been broken, it can be repaired as long as there’s a tiny fragment left!”

This was truly secret information that had not been spread before, and the martial artists became attentive.

“After the Divine Armaments, it’s the Demonic Armaments!” The old storyteller drank a mouthful of tea. “There are a few changes in the Demonic Armament rankings. The first four are still the Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber, Sky Fiend Claw, Li Perishing Sword, and Mystic Yin Maiden Gonfalon. However, the first and third Demonic Armaments are lost, showing that the heavens do not favor the Demon Dao. The fifth Evil God Armor was squeezed out by the Blood Imbibing Saber and dropped to the sixth. The Kuiniu Eye became seventh. After that, it’s the Myriad Poison Cauldron, Purple Cloud Bead, and Prolonged Grievance Hook!”

“The Blood Imbibing Saber jumped to fifth?”

The martial artists in the restaurant looked at each other, and nobody was able to retort.

The Blood Imbibing Saber owner, Nangong Wuwang, had won every battle since his debut. Even the former wielder of fifth Divine Armament, the Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror, Chen Qiyou was killed. It seemed to be within reason that its ranking improved?
