Divine Lucky Star

We've hit something!

Upon hearing this voice, everyone present tensed up.

To be buried here and still harbor such immense murderous aura, what on earth could it be?

"Little Haozi, you must be very careful," Fang Huai De genuinely liked Wang Hao and couldn't bear any mishap; otherwise, his old bones wouldn't rest in peace even when buried: "Make sure it's safe!"

"Don't worry, Great Grandfather," Wang Hao replied, then gently started digging in the earth with the shovel.

First, a bronze artifact appeared, looking like... the hilt of a sword.

"This is..." Wang Hao continued digging and soon the artifact revealed its full shape.

The onlookers craned their necks to see and were immediately struck by its oddity.

"Is this just a sword?" Zhang Chu's eyes widened as he murmured incredulously, "Can a sword have such a powerful murderous presence? What kind of sword is this?! Judging by the material, this is a bronze sword, right?"

The crowd looked at each other, nodding in agreement, "Yes, this must be a bronze sword, and it seems to be well-preserved—but it's just a sword, isn't it? How much blood must it have spilled to exude such an evil aura?"

Such a bronze sword with such a heavy evil Qi...

"Let me see," Wang Hao grasped the bronze sword, just feeling the dice of fortune within his chest vibrate wildly, a clear sign that this was no ordinary item. He closely examined the blade and finally noticed two characters engraved on it.

They were ancient characters, almost resembling pictographs.

At this moment, everyone in Wang Hao's group ceased to fear, leaning in to look together, but nobody could recognize what they were. The only certainty was that they were indeed two characters...

"Brother Hao, what are these characters?" Fang Wenbin inspected carefully from every angle for a good while before asking, "They look extremely old."

"Don't rush, let me think," Wang Hao stared intently at the characters for a while longer, and then suddenly, he had an epiphany, saying, "I know now, these two characters are 'Bai Qi'!"

Bai Qi!

At the mention of this name, everyone present inhaled sharply.

Bai Qi was the most notorious god of mass killing in the history of the Heavenly People's Republic! He was the fiend who slaughtered four hundred thousand soldiers from Zhao Country in a single battle! After that battle, Zhao Country took decades to recover!

To think it was the personal sword of this murderous deity, such immense murderous aura was now understandable.

"Heavens, it's his!" Zhang Chu was so frightened he nearly fell to the ground!

"Everyone, be careful," Wang Hao urged the crowd back, then took another careful look at the large pit they had dug. Confirming there was nothing else inside, he finally spoke, "Alright, for now we can be sure there's no danger. Everyone, feel free to look around. I'll start neutralizing the evil Qi, once it's neutralized, there will no longer be any issues with this geomantically blessed land."

The crowd nodded together, "Good, that would be wonderful."

Now that the truth had come to light, everyone was relieved.

After all, judging by Wang Hao's intention, although the sword had a notorious reputation, if he said he could neutralize it, then there likely wouldn't be a big problem.

Everyone busied themselves with their tasks, while Wang Hao, carrying the sinister weapon, walked to a more spacious place on the ground and sat down cross-legged to begin absorbing the Evil Qi within the sword.

He had already made significant gains from absorbing the Evil Qi from Fang Xiaoxue, and now he had found the largest source…

"I wonder what will happen after I finish absorbing it this time," Wang Hao muttered to himself. "Such immense murderous energy; it's obscuring the sky. If I absorb all of it… heh heh heh… then I'm going to soar to the heavens!"

No sooner had he thought it than he began. Almost immediately, streams of dark energy began to flow from the sword directly into Wang Hao's arms, and this dark energy was completely incomparable to what he had absorbed from Fang Xiaoxue before.

If Fang Xiaoxue's dark energy was a stream, then this was definitely a great river: an endless surge of Evil Qi flowed into Wang Hao's arms, and at the same time, the fortune dice began to vibrate wildly.

The intensity of the vibrations was such that even the previous Crimson Eye, a large red diamond, couldn't compare!

After all, this was Bai Qi's weapon, the evil weapon that had killed four hundred thousand in one battle!

"Huff…" Wang Hao panted heavily as he absorbed the energy. As the dark energy entered his body, he felt his blood flow quickening, his heartbeat accelerating, and his skin darkening.

At first, only his hands turned black, but soon it spread to his arms and then his shoulders. In the end, Wang Hao's entire body from head to toe turned pitch black, looking as if he had just been fished out of a tar pit!

"Holy shit, Brother Hao, what's happening to you?!" Fang Wenbin saw this from a distance and couldn't help but express his concern. "Are you alright?!"

"I'm fine," Wang Hao replied, then said, "Don't come over here; you might get infected!"

"Oh, okay, okay!" Fang Wenbin was obviously frightened and confused. Not just him, but no one else dared to approach either. "Just be careful, okay? If you can't take it anymore, remember to call us!"

"Don't worry," Wang Hao replied nonchalantly, actually feeling ecstatic inside.

What do you mean, 'can't take it'? This was like a wonderful surprise!

Because just then, the fortune dice actually spoke up!

"Host is absorbing a large amount of murderous energy, and bodily functions are undergoing final modifications," the fortune dice's cold voice kept transmitting into Wang Hao's mind. "10%... 20%... 50%..."

"90%... 100%!" The fortune dice continued, "Host's current state has reached the Great Perfection Realm of human beings, now beginning to break through human physical limits, 10%... 30%..."

The absorption process took over two solid hours.

Breaking through human limits was clearly not easy; every cell in Wang Hao's body felt sore, numb, and itchy. He was fortunate to know this was a critical moment and gritted his teeth to endure it.

If it were someone else… well, suffice it to say, the level of transformation was about equivalent to giving birth three times over, in terms of pain—an indication of how much Wang Hao was suffering at the moment…

"90%... 100%!" Finally, after more than three hours, the fortune dice announced that the evolution was complete: "Host has now broken through human physical limits, evolution completed."

As the fortune dice finished speaking, Wang Hao let out a long sigh of relief.

It was finally over. Holy crap, he had almost died from the pain. What started as a mix of soreness, numbness, and itchiness had instantly turned into tearing agony, with no warning whatsoever…

But regardless, now that he had broken through the human limits, didn't it mean…

Wang Hao casually moved his arm and his face lit up with shocked delight; "Hahaha, breaking through human limits really kicks ass! I never expected there would be this kind of perk!"
