Gu Changdao had not expected the Devil Lord to have a treasure for him either. Instead, his brow furrowed slightly. Was this supposed gift actually a way to control him?
Devil Lord Shadow muttered an incantation and beckoned.
A Corpse Puppet rushed out from among the many puppets, opening its bloody maw wide as black smoke billowed out...
To his surprise, it spat out a pitch-black longsword. Mysterious, profound golden runes covered the blade, and its hilt took the shape of a demon spreading its wings to take flight. Wisps of astonishing demonic qi emanated from it.
With a casual flick of his finger, the Devil Lord sent the black longsword flying toward Gu Changdao. "You practice the Ancient Sword Technique. This Black Demon Sword contains a strand of my sword intent. It can increase the strength of your swordsmanship by fifty percent and allow you to comprehend my Black Demon Sword Technique, elevating your Ancient Sword Technique once more!"
After a pause, he continued, "But you must use it carefully! This Black Demon Sword absorbs your essence blood and lifespan! And if you use it too often, demonic qi will corrode you and turn you into a demon! Keep that under control yourself."
Indeed, Devil Lord Shadow concealed nothing. He told Gu Changdao all the benefits and drawbacks of the Black Demon Sword...
He knew very well that no cultivator could resist the temptation of a sudden surge in strength.
After all, even among Human Race cultivators, there were countless Demon Cultivators and Unorthodox Cultivators. What cultivator could resist a demonic sword that increased their strength by fifty percent and allowed them to comprehend a Devil Lord's sword intent?
Gu Changdao respectfully accepted the Black Demon Sword. "Thank you for bestowing this treasure upon me, Lord Devil Lord!"
