I'm not just human!

Chapter 68 Folding Knife

The three-meter-long sword is broad, thick, and ancient in style.

At that moment, a secret inscription suddenly lit up on the back of its three-finger-wide blade!

Immediately afterwards, more than a hundred of the tens of thousands of secret inscriptions on the back of the blade lit up one after another, from the back of the blade near the hilt all the way to the tip, forming a line like a constellation.

Xia Fa was still unaware of what was happening, but suddenly, the huge and heavy horse-slaying sword... began to shrink rapidly!

Dark light erupted from the blade in interwoven rings, flickering like breathing, and in the blink of an eye, it shrank from three meters long to the size of a palm!

At first glance, it looks like a horse-slaying sword has been transformed into a folding knife.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Xia Fa couldn't help but examine the folding knife.

The blade, resembling shark teeth, is covered with exquisite feather patterns.

Near the blade's hilt, there is a cavity containing an iron bead.

The handle is made of ebony with growth rings, and there is a ring at the end that a finger can just fit through.

"this……"

To be honest, when Xia Fa first got this horse-slaying sword, he even considered getting it a scabbard so he could carry it on his back.

After all, he couldn't just casually carry a three-meter-long sword, nor would it be convenient to sling it around his waist. In crowded places, a slight turn of his head could probably sweep down a large number of people.

But now, this great sword has been transformed into a palm-sized folding knife, which is so convenient!

What's even more ingenious is that anyone could feel the extremely powerful and terrifying force emanating from this horse-slaying sword. Even a novice Fungus-level superhuman could tell at a glance that it must be an extremely powerful sealed artifact.

However, when the horse-slaying sword is transformed into a folding sword, at first glance it looks no different from an ordinary folding sword, except that it is more exquisite, like a masterpiece made by a master swordsmith.

Xia Fa couldn't resist playing with it, threading his fingers through the clasp and giving it a gentle turn.

He spun the folding knife around his index finger, and the steel ball inside the hollow cavity on the back of the blade made a tinkling, rather pleasant sound.

"good……"

Xia Fa pulled his hand back, gripping the folding knife firmly in his hand.

He could feel that if he poured that burning sensation into it, the folding knife would swell up again and transform into that huge, heavy horse-slaying sword.

It must be said that sometimes, this ability can even have the effect of a surprise attack.

After the horse-slaying sword was transformed into a folding sword, the blade no longer vibrated, as if it had been sealed. However, Xia Fa could still feel a faint sense of intimacy emanating from the hilt.

Although Xia Fa still doesn't understand what he is, or to put it more nicely, what kind of "being" he is, he guesses that the reason why the horse-slaying sword is so close to him is probably related to his true identity.

Casually toying with his folding knife, Xia Fa turned around, looked up, and gazed at the mithril gate that seemed to come from ancient times.

The towering Mithril Gate, reaching a height of a thousand meters, exudes a profound sense of antiquity, as if it had stood there since the birth of the world. The seemingly chaotic inscriptions carved upon it instilled a sense of dread in Xia Fa.

Not to mention the outer god who was bound at the door and had already been beheaded...

What lies behind this ancient mithril door?

The moment Xia Fa realized the curiosity that had arisen in her heart, she couldn't help but shiver, startled by her own reaction.

Because, deep down, his spiritual intuition had a very strong premonition of danger regarding his sudden curiosity!

It was as if this was something he couldn't possibly understand in his current state!

In fact, Xia Fa had thought before that since that unknown being in the form of heavy armored cavalry had killed the Outer God worshipped by these giant jaw beasts, why not simply go inside this ancient mithril gate and take a look?

But now it seems that... there are secrets hidden behind this that are far beyond his imagination.

"Oh right, and those physical entities..."

Xia Fa murmured to himself. The moment he saw the decapitated Outer God and the Primordial Mithril Gate, he thought of the entities that had suddenly gathered in this strange realm.

Did they come here to get through this door? Or for some other purpose?

Or perhaps they were frightened away by the unknown entity that resembled a heavily armored cavalryman?

According to Xia Fa's judgment, the unknown entity in the form of heavy armored cavalry was stronger than most physical entities. At least when physical entities cast their gazes at him, he wouldn't be on the verge of losing control.

Since he hadn't seen any of those entities in the city yet, Xia Fa decided to leave it alone for the time being.

So, what's next...?

His gaze began to shift to the strange houses and buildings. The black rain was still drizzling down, but the city was still burning.

This looked like a conflict between beings, and the flames ignited by the unknown being in the form of heavy armored cavalry were clearly not something that the black rain sent down by the beheaded Outer God could extinguish.

"I just hope the giant jaw beasts eat at the table... otherwise I'll have to make one myself, and I don't even know if it will work..."

Xia Fa thought to himself jokingly that since almost all the houses near the palace complex had been destroyed by that halberd strike, he could only choose houses further away.

Suddenly, the folding knife in his palm trembled inexplicably, and the sharp tip cut his index finger.

A stinging sensation came, but Xia Fa showed no expression, only watching a drop of bright red blood fall from his fingertip.

He had a strange trust in the sealed artifact, believing that it wouldn't harm him. Therefore, he wanted to know even more what the sealed artifact was trying to do.

As his blood droplet fell, it instantly turned the color of obsidian, and then, like a needle falling into a lake, it pierced through the ground beneath his feet and fell straight to the ground.

A buzzing sound came from underground, as if a huge ritual array was unfolding around his drop of blood.

Xia Fa had a vague feeling that... even if he left this strange realm, he could always teleport back through that ritual array!

He suddenly understood the purpose of this sealed artifact.

"Are you trying to tell me that once I become stronger, I can actually come back here and explore that mithril door?"

Upon hearing this question, the sealed object seemed to truly understand; the steel ball inside the hollow cavity of the blade wobbled twice, as if nodding in response.

Xia Fa smiled slightly. He really wanted to know what was behind this ancient mithril door, but he was too weak to even get close.

In fact, if it weren't for the strange electric current within his body, he would have already lost control and turned into a monster the moment he saw the Outer God.

The ironclad rule of the transcendent realm—that one must not look directly at a god—takes effect from the moment a demigod reveals his mythical creature form, let alone an Outer God.

Even the body of a decapitated Outer God can easily cause a whale-level superhuman who looks directly at Him to lose control!

"Wait a minute..."

This little incident wouldn't have affected anything otherwise, and Xia Fa was preparing to continue looking for a set of tables and chairs.

Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow and looked with considerable surprise toward the palace complex, which had long since become an empty plaza.

There it was...
