Humm—!
Unlike the steady process of reforging [Night of No Light], this time, the instant the material merged with [Moment of Utmost Darkness], a violent space-time fluctuation erupted!
The space around him, which had only just begun to stabilize, twisted violently again, as though the Divine Artifact's own power would tear it apart!
The chaotic space-time power within the material clashed fiercely with the power of the Divine Artifact, even as the two began to fuse!
Qin Chuan's expression shifted. He immediately poured more power from the Shadow Domain into the reforge, forcing the process to stabilize.
He could feel the laws within [Moment of Utmost Darkness] undergoing a complete upheaval, as violent and vast as the birth and death of stars.
On the Divine Artifact's surface, the markings of time and patterns of space flashed in turn, their light flickering as it underwent a transformation at its very core.
The process was far longer and harder than before.
Fine beads of sweat even appeared on Qin Chuan's forehead. Maintaining [Shadow Reforge] consumed an immense amount of mental energy, especially while suppressing such a violent clash of space-time energies.
At last, a long, resonant chime seemed to sound from the end of space-time, and every strange phenomenon abruptly subsided.
The dazzling light faded, revealing the new form of [Moment of Utmost Darkness].
It was still a dagger, but its color had grown deeper, as though it had absorbed an eternal night.
The blade no longer bore simple markings and patterns. Countless miniature stars seemed to drift slowly across it, forming an ever-changing, profoundly mysterious star map of space-time.
A terrifying pressure spread outward, far surpassing what it had held before, as though it could command the very essence of space-time.
