Once he finished naming them, his gaze fell on the corpses of the demon beasts he had hunted in the Trial Secret Realm.
Xiao Tianhao approached the pile of demon beast corpses. Some were silver rank and others gold rank, and they came in all sorts of shapes.
He took a deep breath and connected his consciousness to the Profound Space Pearl again. The pearl shimmered as it floated in midair, releasing a powerful suction that slowly drew the demon beasts inside, one after another.
The first was a silver-rank Iron-Mane Wolf. As it entered the Profound Space Pearl, strands of pure energy could faintly be seen within the light, winding around the wolf's corpse like threads.
Like delicate scalpels, these strands of energy separated and refined the Iron-Mane Wolf's blood essence bit by bit.
Under the Profound Space Pearl's influence, the blood essence, which had originally contained some impurities, became pure and concentrated, giving off a faint silver glow.
Next, a gold-rank Crimson Flame Tiger was drawn into the Profound Space Pearl. Its formidable power was deftly broken down and purified within the pearl, and its blood essence became like a burning flame, scorching and powerful.
Meanwhile, Xiao Tianhao also processed the demon beast corpses, keeping only the finest portions of their bones, hides, and other materials.
As the demon beasts were processed one after another, the room filled with the rich fragrance of blood essence and strange fluctuations of energy.
The refined blood essence was collected in separate jade bottles, while the processed demon beast materials were neatly arranged to one side.
"These blood essences and demon beast materials are just what I need to upgrade the armor and draw inscription scrolls," Xiao Tianhao said with satisfaction.
Silver-rank armor was still too low in rank, while armor above gold rank was difficult to buy. He could only make it himself.
He turned his gaze toward the ten suits of silver-rank armor.
First, he selected a suit with an archaic design that gave off a faint silver glow.
Nearly all the armor of silver rank and above in Glory City had survived from ancient times. No one knew how to forge it anymore.
He picked up the Demon Spirit Stone containing the Star Radiance Beast. The Transcendent God Level demon spirit trembled slightly inside the Demon Spirit Stone, as though sensing the change that was about to come.
Xiao Tianhao circulated his soul force and opened the Demon Spirit Stone's seal. He activated his cultivation method and pointed a finger at the Star Radiance Beast demon spirit, which transformed into a dazzling streak of light and flew toward the armor.
The instant the light touched the armor, the armor blazed with radiance.
At the same time, Xiao Tianhao swiftly picked up some processed demon beast materials and a few drops of blood essence from the peak gold-rank Crimson Flame Tiger, fusing them into the armor as well.
His hands rapidly formed seals as he murmured an incantation, once again drawing upon the Profound Space Pearl's power and enveloping the armor in it.
With the Profound Space Pearl's power acting as a catalyst, the Star Radiance Beast demon spirit's power began to fuse with the armor.
Star-like patterns gradually emerged across the armor's surface, shimmering with mysterious light.
The demon beast materials and blood essence also continued to strengthen the armor, making it sturdier.
Through this series of fusions and refinements, the aura of the originally silver-rank armor steadily rose.
As the light gradually faded, a suit of armor glowing blue and gold appeared before him.
Xiao Tianhao picked up the armor, felt the powerful energy contained within it, and nodded in satisfaction. "It's reached peak black gold rank. Not bad. From now on, you'll be called the Star Battle Armor."
Xiao Tianhao tried putting it on to get a feel for it.
Besides its powerful defenses, this suit of armor could repair itself and heal its wearer.
Using the same method, he sealed the Phantom Dream Demon Fox demon spirit into the second suit of armor. Dreamlike light radiated from it during the fusion, and it ultimately became the black gold-rank Phantom Dream Armor, gaining the ability to bewilder enemies' minds.
The Azure Flame Demon Ape demon spirit fused into the third suit of black gold-rank armor-the Azure Flame Armor-filling it with raging flame power.
The Dawnlight Deer demon spirit fused into the fourth suit, turning it into the black gold-rank Dawnlight Armor, which radiated gentle morning light and possessed healing and purification abilities.
The Heavenly Illusion Divine Bird demon spirit fused with the fifth suit, creating the black gold-rank Heavenly Illusion Armor, which could unleash powerful illusory forces.
The Earth Brute Bull demon spirit transformed the sixth suit into the Brute Bull Armor, granting it formidable defenses and the ability to counter piercing attacks.
After fusing with demon spirits, demon beast materials, and blood essence, every suit of armor underwent a heaven-and-earth transformation, successfully advancing from silver rank to black gold rank.
Still, there was a considerable difference between armor fused with god-level growth potential demon spirits and armor fused with those with Transcendent God Level growth potential: the former reached early black gold rank, while the latter reached peak black gold rank.
(Armor followed the same ranks as demon spirit masters: bronze rank, silver rank, gold rank, black gold rank, legend rank... Each rank was further divided into early, middle, late, and peak stages.)
With the armor finished, he continued on to drawing inscription scrolls.
Xiao Tianhao took out the refined demon beast blood essence and began drawing inscription scrolls.
First, he selected a bottle of blood essence from a gold-rank Iron-Mane Wolf. This blood essence was suited to drawing inscription scrolls imbued with the powers of agility and speed.
He poured the blood essence into a specially made jade dish, then picked up an inscription brush made from hundred-year-old spiritwood.
Xiao Tianhao focused and channeled his soul force into the inscription brush. Its tip lightly touched the blood essence, which seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force.
He began drawing on a blank inscription scroll. Following the inscription patterns in Venerable Void Derivation's inherited memories, he traced them stroke by stroke.
A somewhat wolf-shaped pattern gradually appeared on the scroll-the initial form of a black gold-rank Wind-Speed inscription scroll.
As he continued drawing, the pattern grew increasingly complex, surrounded by mysterious runes that shimmered with black-and-gold light.
When the final stroke fell, the black gold-rank Wind-Speed inscription scroll was complete.
Once activated, this scroll allowed its user to gain the speed of a gale for a short time. Even ordinary legend-rank experts could not catch them, making it tremendously useful for both escape and pursuit.
Next, Xiao Tianhao used the Crimson Flame Tiger's blood essence to draw a black gold-rank Inferno Sea of Flames inscription scroll.
During the drawing process, the scroll seemed on the verge of bursting into roaring flames that would reduce everything around it to ashes.
The completed Inferno Sea of Flames inscription scroll could summon a sea of infernal fire, inflicting tremendous damage on enemies-enough to kill black gold-rank experts and severely wound legend-rank experts.
He also used other demon beasts' blood essence to draw Poison Shadow Veil inscription scrolls, which could release a veil of poisonous mist that obscured enemies' vision and inflicted poison damage;
Ice Shard Protection inscription scrolls, which could summon shields of ice shards to withstand enemy attacks;
Soul Deterrence inscription scrolls, which could shake enemies' souls and briefly rob them of their ability to fight, among others.
Every inscription scroll reached black gold rank.
All the inscription scrolls were finished.
He began fusing with demon spirits.
After making his selection.
Xiao Tianhao decided to fuse with the Nine Nether Demon Spider, the Violet Lightning Saint Spirit Flood Dragon, and the Behemoth Rock Beast.
He sat cross-legged and first took out the Demon Spirit Stone containing the Nine Nether Demon Spider.
Through the Demon Spirit Stone, he could see the Nine Nether Demon Spider's enormous form. Sharp barbs covered its eight long legs, and its body was a deep purple, as though it contained the mysterious power of the nine nether hells. A strange pattern resembling an open eye marked its back, exuding a chilling aura.
Xiao Tianhao circulated his soul force and drew the Nine Nether Demon Spider demon spirit into his soul sea.
In an instant, dark power surged through his soul sea. The Nine Nether Demon Spider slowly settled within it, its power gradually blending with Xiao Tianhao's soul force.
Next, he continued by fusing with the Violet Lightning Saint Spirit Flood Dragon demon spirit.
Violet lightning flickered all over the Violet Lightning Saint Spirit Flood Dragon demon spirit. Its body was long and lithe, and the dragon horns on its head shimmered with mysterious light.
It swam through his soul sea, its lightning power clashing with the Nine Nether Demon Spider's dark power.
Finally, the Behemoth Rock Beast entered his soul sea.
The Behemoth Rock Beast resembled a bear, like a small moving mountain. Rock covered its body, which radiated the heavy power of the earth. Its eyes shone with yellow light, brimming with strength.
Four powerful demon spirits circled within Xiao Tianhao's soul sea, their four mighty powers intertwining and colliding.
