This forced separation of the three evil spirits from the body also required him to distract himself from suppressing the fragments of the demonic artifact.

Even though his Wood Soul Barrier had been broken, he still felt a dull ache in his sea of ​​consciousness, and his temples felt as if they were being stabbed repeatedly by fine needles.

But there was not a trace of reluctance in his eyes.

The gap in the broken piece of the sword had been torn even wider by the tip of the Soul-Devouring Sword.

The most troublesome tide of corpse demons from before was still churning and surging like a burst dam.

It continuously surged outward from deep within the sword.

But now it is sandwiched between the three evil stars.

Its mouth was severed by the sword tip, and it had long lost its previous ferocious momentum.

The yin energy was swallowed up by the demonic flames.

The bizarre method of seizing the spiritual energy was gradually sealed off as the serpentine energy entangled its roots.

Its yin energy no longer radiates outwards, but instead rapidly collapses inwards.

The inside was gradually eaten away by the sword tip.

It's just an empty shell, still struggling desperately out of instinct.

Li Qian saw it clearly, his five fingers suddenly tightened, and he shouted in a low voice, "Combine!"

With a bang, the three demons simultaneously unleashed their power.

The broken sword fragment trembled, realizing that all was lost, and ceased its struggle.

The sword tip was wreathed in demonic flames, which engulfed the entire half of the sword.

In an instant, the yin energy surged and the demonic flames raged.

Two completely different forces collided in the dark room.

The broken sword hummed one last time in mid-air.

Then, under Li Qian's watchful gaze, it gradually merged into the tip of the sword.

As all the strange phenomena gradually subsided.

The dark room fell silent once more.

Only the flickering flame of the talisman remained, and the dim shadow in the corner swayed gently.

The newly formed fragments of the Soul-Devouring Sword slowly flew back into Li Qian's palm.

Compared to the previous thin sword tip, the addition of a section of the blade makes it even sharper.

On the dark spine of the sword, there was originally a sharp and fierce aura that leaned towards demonic flames devouring souls.

A chilling, oppressive aura of corpse energy emanated from them, and the two intertwined.

It is now harmonious and complete, unlike the endless fighting that began before.

The mid-grade magic sword that it had temporarily attached itself to suddenly trembled.

With a crisp clang.

That mid-grade magic sword was actually slashed by the Soul-Devouring Sword.

It broke in two at the waist and fell to the ground with a clatter.

It was as if it was venting the energy it had used to swallow the food.

Li Qian's eye twitched slightly.

He clearly felt the emotions emanating from the Soul-Devouring Sword.

Yes.

mood.

A feeling that is extremely vague, yet truly real.

Li Qian was somewhat shocked, "A sword with feelings... a spiritual treasure?!"

He lowered his eyes and looked at it for a moment, then beckoned the Soul-Devouring Sword over and slowly stroked its spine with his fingertips.

The sword trembled slightly.

A sense of near-enjoyment traveled back through my mental perception.

This made Li Qian feel increasingly strange.

Before he could think it through, the Soul-Devouring Sword trembled again.

A tremendous greed surged from the sword into Li Qian's heart.

After swallowing a fragment of the same origin, he learned that this was a great tonic, and immediately felt an even stronger craving.

Li Qian can now clearly sense this feeling.

A young beast that had just awakened its spiritual senses was eagerly opening its mouth to feed more flesh and blood.

He remained silent for a moment, his mind slightly focused, and then he conveyed a message through his thoughts.

I will help you, but not now.

After this thought was transmitted, the Soul-Devouring Sword hummed softly, carrying an indescribable joy.

I really understood.

Li Qian's expression immediately became even stranger.

However, now that the sword has already swallowed a section of its blade and is willing to submit, that is a good thing.

With a thought, Li Qian put it back into his sea of ​​consciousness and nurtured it.

The Soul-Devouring Sword offered no resistance whatsoever.

He calmly and peacefully sank into the depths of his consciousness, quietly waiting in a corner.

The dark light receded, and the demonic flames hid themselves.

After eating their fill, they lay down and took a nap.

Li Qian slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

This time, all that was left were the dragon's bones and flesh.

And one more thing……

The Soul-Devouring Sword has now swallowed an extra section of its blade, and the original mid-grade magic sword has been severed in two by it.

If we want it to manifest in the outside world in the future, we will most likely have to find a more superior magical artifact.

Make it a new body for the sword.

"It will cost a lot more..."

Thinking of this, Li Qian shook his head slightly.

He then focused his mind on the Sumeru Precepts.

A corner of the ring.

The adult dragon skeleton remained as white as ever, with large, twisted, and ferocious joints.

Even though it's just an empty shell, it still carries a hint of its former ferocity.

On the other side, the swamp of dragon flesh that he had snatched from the Dragon Lock Eye was being sealed by layers of talismans and spiritual seals.

He first separated a wisp of extremely fine spiritual energy and slowly probed it from within the Sumeru Ring.

The spiritual energy had just approached the dragon bone.

The dragon's bones trembled slightly, as if an instinct had awakened.

Wait until that wisp of spiritual energy touches the dragon's flesh again.

The surface of the fleshy mass, which had been suppressed by the talisman, rippled very slightly.

Li Qian's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately cut off that wisp of spiritual energy.

Within the Sumeru Precepts, the two objects finally quieted down again.

"You really shouldn't touch things carelessly."

Although dragon bones and dragon flesh share the same origin.

But it is precisely because they share the same origin that they are even more dangerous.

Who knows whether this lump of flesh holds life or demonic intent; who knows whether what awakens when the flesh and bones unite will be a dead creature to be used by humans, or a half-living demon body that returns to the world in another's body.

Wen Qianji's parting words, "Before the flesh and blood are united, they have already devoured their master," were indeed not empty words.

Li Qian pondered for a long time.

Ultimately, they did not take immediate action.

The Soul-Devouring Sword has just swallowed a section of the sword blade and still needs to be nurtured and stabilized.

Although the Three Killers have been combined into one, I have only just mastered it and need to familiarize myself with it for a few more days.

As for the dragon's bones and flesh...

We should proceed cautiously and gradually.

At the very least, we must not rashly combine the two before we have fully digested what is currently in the present situation.

He slowly withdrew his thoughts.

The dark room fell silent once more.

The talisman's flame flickered faintly, and the stone wall was icy cold.

Li Qian sat cross-legged on the spot and raised his hand to rub his temples.

This trip down the Luohe River was extremely fruitful.

But there were still plenty of troubles.

The Soul-Devouring Sword became increasingly sentient.

The bones and flesh of a dragon conceal a deadly threat.

The Sumeru Ring also contained Yuan Youdao, whose head and body were separated, but who was not truly dead.

Thinking of this, Li Qian suddenly chuckled softly.

"They're all incredibly strange."

He looked up and gazed into the corner of the dark room.

There, quietly piled up some bottles, talismans, and fragments of demonic materials left over from the previous refining process.

Further into the shadows lay the remains of a tall, thin drowned corpse and fragments of body that had been brought back from the Dragon River.

Li Qian's gaze lingered for a moment.

But he already had a plan for the next step in mind.

The bones and flesh of a dragon cannot be hastily combined.

You might as well try it out from the side first.

For example, that tall, thin drowned corpse, and Yuan Youdao's head, which wasn't quite dead yet.

He now possesses a Soul-Devouring Sword that is becoming increasingly greedy and has a particular interest in souls and corpses.

It just so happens that there is a strange person like Wen Qianji who is good at piecing together and linking demon bones and corpses, so I can go and ask him for advice.

With this thought in mind, Li Qian gradually calmed down.

Things have varying degrees of importance.

The most important thing right now is to refine these few items one by one.

He closed his eyes and readjusted his internal energy.

I am preparing to stabilize my cultivation, which has been fluctuating due to the forceful activation of the Three Fiends and the absorption of the remnants of the army.

Tomorrow, I will leave Zhenlingzhou again and go to Baixifang to find a high-grade magic weapon that can support the new body of the Soul Devouring Sword.

As for the method of fusing the dragon bones and dragon flesh... it seems I'll have to consult Wen Qianji.
