Holding the Sun-Eating Sword, Lin Hui looked at it from left to right. He had a feeling that there was something hidden inside. It was just the strongest weapon of the Ever-Burning Contemplation, so it wouldn't be something that his friend, the Karmic Fire, would willingly give to him.
Although he had used the Blood Seal identification several times, he found nothing.
This is also a key factor in his decision to now deal with a Sun Eater.
Holding the Sun Eater but not drawing it, Lin Hui mentally activated the Blood Seal to begin its examination.
Ignoring the introductory information, a clear line of evolutionary branch options appears below my field of vision, prominently displaying four evolutionary paths. "This Blood Seal evolution is now basically clear: it takes the object itself as the origin, expends my energy, mental focus, and time, and offers all possible evolutionary possibilities. There are actually four paths here, which means my current level is quite good... After all, the Sun Eater is a seventh-ring level weapon."
Lin Hui felt a surge of emotion.
Looking back, back in the Mist Man World, he was just an ordinary civilian who didn't even dare to go out at night in the Night Fog.
And now.
He smeared a single hand across the Sun Eater.
He composed himself and clicked on the first branch.
"1. Blazing Sun Sword: The ultimate form of the Sun-Eating Sword. After devouring enough stars, it evolves into a mysterious weapon that unleashes an endless stream of flames. No one knows the origin of its inexhaustible fire. Some suspect it is related to..."
"2. The Finality Sword: At the end of burning, the end is the end. This is a special longsword that can bring about the end of all things upon touching it. Its origin is unknown." "3. The Clear Frost Sword: A seasonal artifact that governs sunny days and frost."
"4. Primordial Golden Crow Sword: Forged from a whole Primordial Golden Crow after skinning, bone removal, and melting. In excellent condition, it can briefly unleash one-tenth of the Primordial Golden Crow's power in its previous life."
The first three were alright, but the last one... left Lin Hui speechless.
But at the same time, I'm also curious about what the Primordial Chaos Realm is.
Since arriving in this world, the hierarchy established by the God Clan has always been used to define the various races and forces.
But in reality, every mainstream world has its own mainstream system.
Lin Hui glanced at it; the Blazing Sun Sword was the ultimate form of the Sun Eater, so he wouldn't consider it. After all, his goal was to get rid of the influence of the Ever-Burning Contemplation as much as possible. This was clearly an enhancement.
The second one, the Finality Sword, overlaps somewhat with his sword technique abilities and is not very useful, so we'll skip it.
The third is the Clear Frost Sword, which controls the seasons. This sword has limited description, but its main functions are differentiated. It may not be very helpful in actual combat.
Therefore, Lin Hui's gaze fell on the last item.
Click on the fourth item.
Required resources: 100,000 years of reserve energy.
Having grown accustomed to figures requiring tens or hundreds of thousands of years, Lin Hui was somewhat moved by the mere 100,000 years it took. The other three didn't fit his current situation, but the last one had absolutely no connection to the Sun Eater. Immediately, Lin Hui confirmed it and began the Sun Eater's full evolution.
Inside the Heart Source Demon Palace.
The Sun Eater, lying flat in front of Lin Hui, began to slowly deform and twist as the information from the Blood Seal started to appear before Lin Hui's eyes.
A strange wail entered Lin Hui's mind, as if it were begging for mercy.
"This sword is still quite sharp... It seems it has realized it's in trouble."
Lin Hui never expected that Sun Eater would lead him to discover that he was about to be in trouble.
But with the arrow already on the bowstring, he certainly couldn't stop.
He took out his spatial ring, and a newly acquired Dragon Horn Shedding appeared in his hand. He began to absorb the Existence Force within it.
In a mere 100,000 years of evolution, he absorbed less than twenty Dragon Horn Shedding before completing the process.
There are still more than thirty Dragon Horn Shedding unused.
As the final evolution time fades naturally, the Blood Seal indicates that the evolution is complete.
The Sun Eater before him finally stopped begging for mercy, its voice abruptly ceasing.
Immediately afterwards, the sword blade, along with its scabbard, was rapidly stretched and became thinner.
The original sword blade quickly extended to three meters.
Many golden-red feather patterns also appeared on the surface of the blade. The hilt transformed into two golden-red crow beaks that opened to the left and right, as if emitting a desperate cry outwards.
The sword hilt had been transformed into a long, narrow object made up of countless tiny, golden-red beads.
Upon closer inspection, Lin Hui was surprised to find that each of the small beads that made up the sword hilt resembled a star, with its surface constantly burning and surging, releasing large amounts of white smoke outwards.
He quickly checked the Blood Seal. Besides the crafting materials upgrades he had already seen, there were also weapon-related special effects. Yes, this weapon actually had its own special effects, and more than one at that.
" The Primordial Golden Crow Sword: Composed of a single, complete sword."
When wielding this weapon, you will automatically receive fixed special effects.
Special Effect 1: Fire Immunity (Any fire-based attacks are ineffective against you).
Special Effect 2: Flames of Hatred (You can launch a furious attack on any target you designate, with a permanent fixed power of 10% of the original power of the Primordial Golden Crow, usable once per week)
Special Effect 3: Light (You can dispel the energy of dark things)
Special Effect 4: Destructive Ashes (The final power of the Primordial Golden Crow completely dissolved the blacksmith who used the materials to forge this weapon. Everything they combined turned into a vast Ashes Sea. While wielding this sword, you can summon this Ashes Sea to indiscriminately erode and destroy the enemy's world. Note: This effect covers a very large area; please use it with caution.)
"Not bad..." Lin Hui reached out and gently grasped the ornate, even somewhat beautiful, longsword.
I could no longer feel any independent inner consciousness; instead, I only felt a continuous, powerful flow.
"Next, there's still a lot of Existence Force left, so we should strengthen this thing as well..." Speaking of equipment, Lin Hui took off the Heart Source Demon Crown from his head.
At first, he used this thing quite well. It was extremely well-concealed.
However, later on, some powerful individuals discovered his whereabouts, showing that his ability to hide was not absolute.
"Hiding ability is secondary; this thing comes with its own cloak, and with a little enhancement, it can also be used as protective gear." Lin Hui has never been very interested in protective gear.
One reason is that he follows an agility-based approach; at extremely high speeds, any equipment becomes an obstacle for him.
If only he had a set of equipment that wouldn't hinder his movements at all, and could even increase his defensive capabilities...
Now that the resurrection ability is available, the safety of the disciples is still a concern. If there were a universal set of equipment that everyone could use, then... With that in mind, he didn't linger and immediately began a new round of appraisals.
Remove the Heart Source Demon Crown.
" Heart Complete Crown: A symbol worn by the master of the Heart Source Demon Palace. It comes with a special True Source Incense and provides the wearer with perfect concealment capabilities that can adapt to any environment. It also has the characteristic of never wearing out and automatically repairing itself."
Evolvable branch: 3.
"It's a pity that the True Source Incense's effects are too slow. If I lived for another few hundred or a thousand years, the True Source Incense's slow effect of enhancing energy would be quite considerable. But now..."
Lin Hui sighed, remarking that the equipment the previous Demon Emperor had modified for him was indeed perfect for him to hide and sneak around fishing.
The True Source Incense, which can enhance energy over time, undoubtedly reveals the design concept of the previous Demon Emperor.
Unfortunately, Lin Hui wasn't exactly an honest and upright person.
Or rather, the evolution of the Blood Seal and the various troubles and consequences it brought made it impossible for him to honestly find a place to hide and cultivate for thousands of years, so... the effect of this True Source Incense became useless.
In addition, the concealment effect wasn't as exaggerated or useful as Lin Hui had imagined.
It's normal to completely change the evolution now.
He composed himself and clicked on the evolution branch.
"1. The Crown of Silence: One of the secret treasures worn by the King of Silence for many years. It can absorb a large amount of sound waves from the surrounding environment, and after accumulating, it can condense into the Silent Armor to protect itself. (Silent Armor: The essence of sound waves is vibration, and this armor can make one immune to any vibration-based attack.)"
This first evolutionary branch clearly specializes.
Lin Hui looked at the second one.
"2. The Long Night Stone Crown: A special treasure born from the combined power of all shadow dimensions. Wearing it greatly increases one's energy surge rate and allows one to summon an army of Night Shadow Ghost to fight for them."
"3. The Immortal Emperor Crown: This is a special imperial crown that can never be worn down or destroyed. Those who discovered it suspect it was a relic from before the last Great Annihilation, but this cannot be confirmed. Apart from being unbreakable by any attack, it has no other special characteristics. Therefore, many people regard it as an eternal symbol of immortality and have added some decorations to it, turning it into an imperial crown that has been passed down from generation to generation."
"Several of the original abilities have been evolved... It's a pity that the equipment protection ability I wanted the most is not included. However, this Long Night Stone Crown... Lin Hui clicked on it and saw that the time and effort required for each item does not exceed two hundred thousand years."
He immediately considered it for a moment and chose the second option, thus beginning a new process of absorbing the Dragon Horn Shedding.
He was somewhat curious about this Night Shadow Ghost army, but his primary interest lay in the function that greatly increased the speed of energy surge.
The area surrounding the Red Pattern Star.
The God Clan warships, which had just been thoroughly searched and inspected, slowly regrouped and approached the area.
They were like a sheet of golden sand, densely advancing and covering everything in their path.
This massive, sweeping inspection began a week ago.
At this moment, outside the Red Pattern Star, in space.
One after another, spaceships hovered in orbit, their human representatives inside gazing solemnly at the approaching God Clan inspection legion. Those who could stand here were almost all the most influential and powerful people within the human world of this star system.
Military generals, representatives of large corporations, highly capable recluses, and so on.
They gather here, and they all share a common name for each other: the Miscellaneous Clan.
This area has always been the place where various forces hide the most escaped criminals.
But at this very moment.
The God Clan's actions, this sweeping inspection, are undoubtedly aimed at driving them to the brink of destruction.
"I have received definite information." The head of the Central Star Group's local star system was a tall woman with a slightly aged appearance.
Her name Ji Canglan. She is not actually human, but an alien from another galaxy.
The mixed races are not only composed of the Three Greats powers and human powerhouses, but also include a small number of ethnic minorities who migrated from other star systems.
She was one of them.
As the head of the conglomerate that has ruled the Red Luan Star System for nearly a century, Ji Canglan's gaze was fixed intently on the slowly advancing wave of golden warships. " The God Clan are conducting a comprehensive identity and bloodline registration for every living being."
