Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 146—Eye Gouging, Blood Sacrifice, Semi-Divine Artifact!

Electrolux was dissatisfied with Qian Lingyun's somewhat perfunctory attitude. He shook his head and criticized, "This kind of regenerating bone-like substance can only be regarded as a fingernail. Do you think fingernails are that important?"

"Change it," Electrolux said in a low voice.

"Alright! I'll try again!" Qian Lingyun took a deep breath, staring intently ahead. Under the flash of black light, her beautiful long hair actually gathered together strand by strand, transforming into small, red-eyed snakes with bared teeth.

Feeling the snake's wriggling and affectionate movements, Qian Lingyun gritted her teeth, steeled her heart, picked up the shards of the sickle on the ground, and forcefully slashed a blade off the top of her head.

In an instant, the pain of her hair being separated from her body felt like a dull knife relentlessly slicing through her soul. "Hiss..."

Qian Lingyun gasped for breath while trembling violently, unable to even stand steadily. Her snake hair was connected to her nerves, and the pain of cutting off her own snake hair was no less than that of cutting off her own finger.

As the saying goes, the ten fingers are connected to the heart, and these little snakes with a certain degree of self-awareness are just like her even more unusual fingers!

"Teacher, is this not okay either?" Qian Lingyun asked weakly as she sat on the ground in pain.

"Of course not! Hair doesn't matter either," Electrolux calmly answered Qian Lingyun's question while organizing the materials.

"I see..."

Having received a clear answer, Qian Lingyun finally hardened her heart. She slowly took a deep breath, raised her slender, green fingers, aimed at the purple Eye of Judgment on her forehead, and gouged it out.

Guji…

Qian Lingyun understood the principle that a short pain is worse than a long one, but she also did not expect that the Eye of Judgment and her body would be so closely integrated.

With her fingers tapping, the wound quickly writhed and widened, gushing out dark red blood that stained her beautiful face.

The muscles and nerves in her head twitched and resisted repeatedly as she gouged out her eyes. Qian Lingyun's body trembled constantly with the changes in her wounds. The pain was indeed unbearable for most people.

This gouge even made Qian Renxue, who was thousands of miles away, and the imperial auspicious beast of the Star Dou Great Forest tremble and almost fall over.

"Teacher... give..."

Qian Lingyun was in so much pain that she could barely speak. She instinctively caught the purple eye and handed it to Electrolux.

"These eyes... are about right."

Electrolux took the bloody eyeball and began forging a semi-divine artifact while extracting soul power from Qian Lingyun's body.

"It's a fine sword, but unfortunately, it's been wasted for thousands of years and has lost its spirit..."

He summoned the already extraordinary Measuring Heaven Sword from a pile of materials, forcibly activated its inner power with the power of his divine sense, and then infused it with rare metals for simple repairs.

Only when the Heavenly Sword emitted a dazzling white light could this first step of forging be considered complete.

After a short rest, Electrox drew upon a portion of the power of the Rakshasa God to compensate for his own deficiencies, and then, using his own divine sense as a guide, began to refine the Measuring Heaven Sword.

Before long, he added the Death Scythe fragments, the Octagonal Ice Crystal, and the Ice Explosion Soul Bone from the ground into it.

Gradually, under the guidance of his powerful divine sense, the Ice Explosion Soul Bone transformed into the handle of the Measuring Heaven Sword, while the Octagonal Profound Ice Crystal and the Death Scythe fragments turned the Measuring Heaven Sword's blade into blue and purple colors, vying for supremacy.

The sword blades on both sides have jagged, purplish-black serrations on one side and smooth, crystalline cuts on the other.

"Alright, now comes the most important step." Electrolux pondered the nascent Heavenly Sword for a moment, then indulged in drawing upon Qian Lingyun's soul power.

Fortunately, Qian Lingyun had a solid foundation from childhood, and her soul power reserves far exceeded those of other soul masters of the same level. In addition, she had just received the sacrifice of two great soul beasts today, so her soul power was extremely abundant. If it were a normal soul saint, she would have been drained dry.

Even so, Qian Lingyun's soul power continued to decline rapidly, soon falling below the safety line for completing the final step.

Now, the soul bone of the Fragrant Silk Fairy has made a great contribution.

With a muffled thud, white purifying flames suddenly rose from the head of the fragrant and elegant immortal bone, which was shrouded in a purple mist. In the white flames, this 100,000-year-old soul bone, which was considered priceless by outsiders, became the most inconspicuous fuel.

While the fire was still raging, Electrolux picked up the few red-eyed snakes that were still slowly wriggling on the ground from the pile of materials and threw them, along with the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, into the pure and flawless purifying fire.

Amidst the raging flames, a brilliant emerald light appeared. The evil power remaining within the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade was swallowed by the black-haired snakes, leaving only the small, emerald-light-radiating carving blade emanating a strong life force.

Gradually, a richer and more abundant life force began to flow out from the life-giving metal, and was infused into the only living creature in the vicinity, Qian Lingyun.

Even though her body was in a semi-dormant state, Qian Lingyun's body still instinctively absorbed this pure life force. Under the nourishment of that rich life force, the wound on her forehead was gradually healing, so much so that the figure of Electrolux beside her became clearer under the feedback.

"Finally... the final step!"

Electrox stared at the small snakes coiled at the junction of the hilt and the blade, their heads and tails intertwined in a circle, just large enough to hold Qian Lingyun's third eye.

Electrolux had intended to incorporate the two most important elements, the Snow Pill and the Eyeball, but unexpectedly, the black rings connected by the Ouroboros seemed to have a special attraction. Under their own pull, the purple Eyeball and the Snow Pill, one facing forward and the other backward, merged into the sword guard.

At this moment, those treasures containing special essence effects completed their transformation into the prototype of legendary divine artifacts. During that not-so-short transformation process, they actually triggered a change in the heavens and earth.

In an instant, the sky over the undead demiplane was obscured by gloomy purple clouds; in the next instant, the sky suddenly turned blue and white.

Guided by Ilex, the creator of the undead demiplane, lightning with blue, purple, and white iridescent colors rolled down, striking the alien longsword one after another. Each strike made the aura of the three-foot-long sword more restrained and constantly undergo a qualitative change.

The violent energy of the lightning tribulation almost caused the entire undead demiplane to tremble uncontrollably until it finally ended after eighty-one lightning strikes!

The process of enduring the heavenly tribulation is extremely terrifying, but Electrox is not worried because he is the master who created this world and has many unfathomable trump cards. As long as he does not want to, these lightning bolts cannot fall on him and Qian Lingyun.

"Come here, hurry up!" Electrox shouted, casually summoning the two-tone longsword into his palm and handing it to Qian Lingyun, who was lying on the ground and had slightly recovered.

"This disciple thanks the master for bestowing the sword upon him."

Qian Lingyun took the longsword with great joy. Her fingers gently brushed the blade, and the longsword instantly burst forth with two similar but different auras. One was like the bone-chilling cold of the far northern snowfield, while the other was like a poisonous swamp that devoured all life.

They emitted purplish-red and ghostly blue hues respectively, representing the malevolent poison of the Death Scythe and the extreme cold of the Snow Emperor's Snow Pill.

Turning the sword over to the other side, on the hilt, in the center of a circle of black snakes with their tails intertwined, a purple eye stared directly at Qian Lingyun. Faintly, she seemed to hear some unseen whispers: "Hold me...hold me..."

Qian Lingyun yielded to the will of this semi-divine artifact and grasped the slightly chilly bone hilt.

As soon as she held the sword hilt, Qian Lingyun felt an immediate connection between the same power and her own abilities. She could even... feel the sword's heartbeat synchronized with her own.

It seems that... if she so desires, this longsword can still be stored in the third eye on the top of her forehead, merging with the original location of the Eye of Judgment.

She can retrieve it whenever she needs it, making it a true natal soul bone! No, a natal artifact!

With a thought, Qian Lingyun grabbed it and with a casual wave of her hand, an icy blue sword light burst forth!
