64: Chapter 64 The power of the twelve ferocious beasts is fully activated!
Li Mo was somewhat surprised to hear Zhao Zhenyuan say this.
"The power of the ferocious beasts within the Twelve Rakshasa Knives hasn't been fully activated yet?"
He had to know that Li Mo had to use almost all his strength just to control the Twelve Rakshasa Knives in their current state, and he could only control the Taowu and Qiongqi blades at that.
If they were fully activated, Li Mo dared not imagine how powerful the strength within them would be.
Li Mo had used these flying knives against Huang Zhongze before; although he had the advantage of a sneak attack, one must not forget that Huang Zhongze was a martial artist who had already reached the Liangyi Realm!
Li Mo was a full major realm behind him!
Even under such circumstances, Li Mo was still able to severely injure him using the Twelve Rakshasa Knives.
If the power of the Twelve Rakshasa Knives were fully activated, Li Mo might be able to kill Huang Zhongze directly!
"Marshal? Are you going to help me fully activate the power of the ferocious beasts in these Twelve Rakshasa Knives?"
"Of course!"
Zhao Zhenyuan smiled slightly.
It turned out that the Twelve Rakshasa Knives were originally forged by Zhao Zhenyuan for Li Le.
Few people knew that the current supreme marshal of Great Xia, Zhao Zhenyuan, was actually a master-level blacksmith!
There were no more than ten blacksmiths of this grade in Great Xia!
Even if Zhao Zhenyuan did not have the status of a marshal, he would still be revered by thousands for his weapon-forging skills.
"Your father pampers you, but I don't! If the power of the ferocious beasts isn't fully activated, it's impossible to skillfully master the Twelve Rakshasa Knives, and their lethality won't be powerful enough!"
As he spoke, under Zhao Zhenyuan's manipulation, the twelve flying knives spun crazily around him. Li Mo felt as if he could hear the roars of terrifying ferocious beasts from the twelve flying knives, a sound that was simply hair-raising.
Seeing this, Li Mo couldn't help but ask curiously, "Marshal Zhao, I saw in the secret manual my father left behind that the Twelve Rakshasa Knives were forged by infusing them with the souls of twelve types of ferocious beasts. Do they really contain the ferocious souls of twelve types of beasts?"
Zhao Zhenyuan looked up at Li Mo and scoffed lightly, "That goes without saying. I traveled over mountains and through rivers to find these twelve types of ferocious beasts, and in the end, it was all for your father's benefit!"
Li Mo couldn't help but take a deep breath. Legendary ferocious beasts like Taowu, Qiongqi, and Pixiu, even in their infancy, were at least Sixiang Realm exotic beasts!
And they were much stronger than other exotic beasts of the same realm!
It was not easy for Zhao Zhenyuan to find these twelve types of ferocious beasts, let alone forge them into twelve flying knives using their ferocious souls; it could be described as difficult upon difficult!
The value of this set of flying knives was much higher than Li Mo had imagined!
Before Li Le went to execute that mission with no chance of survival, he had actually left behind his life-saving weapon, which showed that he still valued Li Mo highly.
"Alright! You give it a try!"
After finishing the adjustments, Zhao Zhenyuan returned the Twelve Rakshasa Knives to Li Mo.
Li Mo originally wanted to go back and try them out, but Zhao Zhenyuan kept staring at him with a burning gaze, which made Li Mo feel a bit embarrassed.
With no other choice, he had to start using the Twelve Rakshasa Knives in front of Zhao Zhenyuan.
Li Mo closed his eyes to focus, then moved his mind, using his will to manipulate the flying knives in the usual way.
However, this time, as soon as he picked up the first Taowu flying knife, he immediately sensed something was wrong.
The backlash power of the flying knife was countless times stronger than before; just trying to manipulate the flying knife to move was more than ten times more tiring than before!
Li Mo gritted his teeth, sweating from head to toe, and only then managed to arduously make the Taowu flying knife fly according to his will.
After the Taowu flying knife arduously flew a circle in the air, Li Mo finally couldn't hold on any longer and let the flying knife fall to the ground.
Li Mo panted heavily, feeling as if all his vital energy and blood had been exhausted.
Regarding this situation, not only was Zhao Zhenyuan not dissatisfied in the slightest, but he even nodded in praise, "Not bad, your talent is much stronger than your father's!"
"Back then, your father didn't practice the flying knife technique until he reached the Sanhe Realm. When he first started practicing, he was in a much more embarrassing state than you, and almost died from the backlash of the ferocious beasts' power!"
"Ah?"
Li Mo was somewhat surprised to hear this. If even the Sanhe Realm couldn't fully control the Twelve Rakshasa Knives, yet he was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm now!
Zhao Zhenyuan glanced at Li Mo and then said, "This Chaos Star Art is truly extraordinary. Logically speaking, with your current cultivation level, it would be almost impossible to manipulate the Twelve Rakshasa Knives. Even the simplest Taowu flying knife is a Sixiang Realm ferocious beast!"
"Normally, even if you just took a peek, Taowu could tear your incredibly fragile soul to shreds!"
At this moment, Li Mo finally truly understood the value of that Chaos Star Art!
No wonder the Black Earth Tribe went to such great lengths, sparing no effort to lay out plans in Great Xia for thirty years just to find a way to obtain the Chaos Star Art!
Unfortunately, this technique was not something an ordinary person could cultivate. If not for Li Mo having the Devouring Emperor Body, he would have long been strangled to death by that chaotic illusion.
Li Mo could clearly sense that although the Twelve Rakshasa Knives had become much harder to practice after being fully unsealed, their power had also increased significantly.
The power of the ferocious beasts meant an unstoppable force.
Li Mo put away the Twelve Rakshasa Knives and then thanked Zhao Zhenyuan, "Marshal, thank you! Although I was lucky enough to complete the mission when I went to Starry Sky University, I also deeply realized that my cultivation is insufficient. For the next period of time, I plan to devote myself to honing my cultivation!"
Li Mo still had some self-awareness. That he could do whatever he wanted at Starry Sky University was entirely due to the iron blood token and the Capital Garrison Regiment protecting him from behind the scenes.
Although the feeling of having power in his hands was great, in the end, it was not his own strength.
Without either the iron blood token or the Capital Garrison Regiment, Li Mo would have been dead and buried in the capital.
In this world where the strong are respected, one's own strength is the only real hard truth.
For this reason, Li Mo even returned the iron blood token to Zhao Zhenyuan. Now that he was back in the military camp, this iron blood token naturally lost its effectiveness.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhenyuan's expression was very gratified. Faced with such a huge temptation of power, Li Mo was not tempted in the slightest.
In fact, even if Li Mo had kept the iron blood token, Zhao Zhenyuan would not have said anything more; he would have just considered it some compensation and special privileges for his old comrade-in-arms' son.
But he insisted on taking it out, which made Zhao Zhenyuan think even higher of him. Not to mention that Li Mo was still just a sergeant, many generals in the army coveted this iron blood token!
"Good lad!"
Zhao Zhenyuan patted Li Mo on the shoulder and praised him sincerely.
"You are right. Cultivation is the hard truth. I agree with you wanting to cultivate, but I can find a good place for you. Do you know about the Xumi Secret Realm?"
As soon as Zhao Zhenyuan mentioned the four words "Xumi Secret Realm", Li Mo's eyes immediately lit up.
It was said that the great masters of the world, especially after reaching the pinnacle of the Martial God, could all open up secret realms with their own abilities.
The so-called secret realm referred to an exotic space independent of ordinary space. This exotic space was only controlled by the creator themselves, and most of them possessed special abilities.
And the Xumi Secret Realm that Zhao Zhenyuan spoke of was created by the hero of the human race, the only powerhouse above the Martial God, Marshal Chen Han!
