Chapter 969

In addition, there is a second secret technique: The Ancestral Mo Weapon Scripture.

This is a minor race in the universe called the Mo, whose total population is small, but each member is generally extremely powerful.

They are metallic lifeforms and have even produced a Sovereign.

The Ancestral Mo Weapon Scripture was created by the strongest Sovereign in their history.

It is a powerful technique for forging top-tier weapons.

By using one’s own origin as a seed, it allows continuous absorption of other metals’ essences to enhance weapon quality.

But its limit is only top-tier weapons; beyond that lies secret treasures, which no single technique can achieve.

Or perhaps there are later sections, but he never obtained them.

It was useless to his former self, but now it is extremely useful.

So he approached the high-ups and requested a common plant lifeform—Thornvine.

It is a plant lifeform used to assist in combat; many martial artists who cultivate wood attributes choose to use them.

Lin Qi then began cultivating it, first by letting his blood drip into it to establish mastery.

Then he sought out corresponding heavenly treasures and had it absorb them.

Finally, he activated a special secret technique to fully transform the Thornvine.

“Shhhhh!!”

One day later, a brand-new crimson vine formed, instantly wrapping around him, radiating vigorous life force and a killing aura.

It could even compress and merge into his combat suit.

Its functions were extremely powerful.

He caressed the combat suit, feeling its resilience—its defensive capability had risen a full tier.

This was only the beginning.

As it absorbed more flesh, heavenly treasures, and life essence, its quality would further improve.

Currently, it was only equivalent to Level One.

But that was already enough.

After all, he wouldn’t lack demonic beast flesh in the coming days.

Then he began cultivating the second secret technique: The Ancestral Mo Weapon Scripture.

The weapon he chose, unsurprisingly, was the great spear.

He looked at the black great spear in his hand.

It was a gift from Mount River King—a decent weapon.

He began infusing it with special heavenly treasures while channeling his own origin power.

Again, blood—under the technique’s influence—the great spear began to change, as if coming alive.

Special secret patterns emerged on its black surface.

The weapon was now mastered by him; all he needed to do was keep devouring metal.

Lin Qi opened his smartphone and directly selected large quantities of metal.

In the Tianhai Base, he no longer needed to pay for anything he wanted.

Because Mount River King would cover the cost.

Moreover, selling the demonic beasts he killed could earn him plenty of merit points.

Because with his talent, he would inevitably become the strongest.

So he used his smart device to purchase massive amounts of metal.

Moments later, a smart lifeform delivered the goods to his door.

Upon receiving the metal, the entire great spear came alive, devouring and digesting it; invisible golden light flowed along its shaft, complex secret patterns surging forth.

In his perception, the spear’s sharpness had also risen a full tier.

Lin Qi felt the great spear growing stronger and was pleased.

As for metal, the trial planet had no shortage of it.

Especially in Mining Zone 8, which held the greatest concentration of top-tier metals.

If he could absorb even a portion, the weapon’s quality would leap dramatically.

But these Corrupted Emperor Beasts didn’t know yet.

They hadn’t yet discovered the trial planet’s true value.

When they did, they might go mad collecting it.

They might even kill everyone on the trial planet.

…

After a night’s rest, Lin Qi officially stepped onto the battlefield.

Alongside him were students from Tianhai Martial University and martial artists stationed at the war base.

As for Jiang Tao and the others, they were still too weak and remained in cultivation.

Blood energy could rise quickly, but martial skills required time to improve.

After giving them some guidance, Lin Qi set out for the battlefield.

In this other world, demonic beast waves came continuously, often lasting 24 hours straight.

So the stationed martial artists had no fixed rest schedule—they simply went on duty when rested.

Or they rotated in shifts to suppress the waves.

“Roar~”

Lin Qi stared at the massive demonic beast in the distance; golden patterns surfaced on his body.

Waves of golden light radiated outward, and countless metal-based spear techniques flooded his mind.

He had once cultivated 555 metal-based spear techniques and successfully comprehended the Metal Dao’s power.

Moreover, in the Tai Chu Sacred Land, he had exchanged for countless spear techniques tied to the Metal Dao.
