Two colors of spiritual light were reflected in Liu Yu's ink-black pupils.
As though gazing straight at the truth of the Great Dao, he stared without blinking, afraid to miss any of its wonders.
His exceptionally keen spiritual perception could clearly sense concepts such as order, justice, ruin, and chaos within them.
As time passed, the exquisite gray hue of the Ruined Sword's blade grew ever deeper.
The concept of "chaos" also became increasingly distinct.
As the treasure's master, Liu Yu could clearly feel the Ruined Sword growing through their mental connection.
It had been born amid ruin, awakened amid miracles, and grown amid chaos!
Specks of red light kept emerging from the gray blade before finally dispersing into the world.
The last trace of its "flame" essence dissipated completely at that moment.
From then on, it was the true "Ruined Sword," bearing the rules of "ruin and chaos"!
It had become a complete stranger to the original "Sacred Fire Sword"!
Perhaps it was his imagination, but Liu Yu felt that only now had the Ruined Sword truly become complete, becoming a genuine spirit treasure.
Order and chaos might not be entirely opposed.
All order will eventually collapse, evolving toward chaos and disorder.
Yet even in the most extreme chaos, order will exist.
Watching the two spirit treasures radiate halos of light, he silently pondered.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths.
An eighth of an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the red motes continuously emerging from the gray blade abruptly vanished.

Without that stimulus, the Nine Provinces Cauldron Fragment returned to its unremarkable appearance.
