Li Tianming's eyes widened at once, and a sudden scream tore from him.
He had plucked the leaf with his right hand. Starting from his palm, his entire arm rapidly turned charred black, even beginning to freeze over.
The divine hazard's power expanded wildly within him. A single leaf brought pain comparable to the Inferno Dragon Purgatory Sword Qi.
Li Tianming bent over, and only after a long while did he finally recover.
By then, he was drenched in sweat, his face pale. Even in the end, he had not fully absorbed that "sword-shaped leaf" into his body.
"Damn..."
He turned around blankly and saw Old Ancestor Divine Turtle suppressing a laugh.
"How was it? Felt good, didn't it? Didn't trick you, did I?" he said.
"Not bad!"
Li Tianming coughed.
He refused to admit weakness. Continuing to stare at the "Frozen Glazed Tree," he said, "Though it looks like a tree, its insides are all Sword Qi. In terms of attributes, it also leans toward darkness and chill. Its outer appearance is ice, but what it truly possesses is the power of dark burning. It really suits me, but... eighth-order divine hazard Sword Qi is probably beyond me."
"The thing is, it's solid. You can take it slowly—one leaf, one branch at a time—until you completely merge it into your body. Once you possess a sword body with eighth-order divine hazard Sword Qi, you'll be fierce."
Old Ancestor Divine Turtle said.
"That works too?"
Li Tianming was stunned.
The ones he had encountered before, like the Inferno Dragon Purgatory Sword Qi, had been raging fire dragons.
How could he possibly devour those bit by bit?
"That's why I said it suits you. Star King Gong Su specially left this for you. Want it?"
"Of course I do. Thank him
