"Changqing, are you really confident you can eliminate the evil thoughts on this Soul-Devouring Carving Knife?"
Qian Duoduo came over and asked Mu Changqing with a worried expression. He was still a little uneasy. If anything really happened to Mu Changqing, he would have a hard time too.
"Elder Qian! Don't worry, I know my limits!"
Mu Changqing spoke firmly and looked at Qian Duoduo with confidence, telling him not to worry too much.
Qian Duoduo did not ask any more questions, nor did he ask what method Mu Changqing would use to remove the evil thoughts inside the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife. Everyone had their secrets.
Before long, they returned to the inn. Holding Na'er's hand, Mu Changqing strode into their room.
Na'er and Mu Changqing summoned the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction at the same time, and the two God Kings infused their power into their bodies.
Mu Changqing's entire body was enveloped in a layer of black light.
Destruction divine power protected him tightly.
Then Mu Changqing opened the wooden box.
In an instant, a great mass of black Qi rushed toward his face, carrying a revolting evil presence and terrifying curse power.
Under the protection of the two God Kings' divine power, Mu Changqing and Na'er could not be corrupted by the evil thoughts inside the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife. Those evil thoughts darted wildly around the room.
"Brother, the evil thoughts in this carving knife are so strong! Just how many people has this knife killed?"
Na'er moved a little farther away and watched the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife in the wooden box. It was still constantly releasing evil thoughts.
"Na'er, this Soul-Devouring Carving Knife has killed thirty-seven evil soul masters, and another nine people fell and became evil soul masters."
"Though it looks ordinary on the outside, its true material is gold of life!"
Protected by destruction divine power, Mu Changqing grew bolder and stepped closer to get a better look at the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife.
"Huh? Is it more or less the same as that piece I had three years ago?"
"It's the same, but yours had a richer life element and was larger. Gold of life is something you can only stumble upon, not seek out!"
Mu Changqing activated his Martial Soul possession and used his Golden Dragon Claw to take the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife out of the wooden box, placing it in his palm.
The evil thoughts inside the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife kept attacking the Golden Dragon Claw, but it didn't do a damn thing.
"God King of Destruction, I'm counting on you."
Mu Changqing closed his hand around the dark green carving knife.
The next second, all the black light enveloping him surged into the carving knife at once.
The mighty destruction divine power mercilessly slaughtered the curses and black Qi.
Mu Changqing felt as though he could hear those vengeful spirits wailing.
A moment later, the black Qi vanished.
Then an intense, dazzling green light bloomed from Lin Chen's hand.
The carving knife that had been dark green just moments ago had completely changed.
Its entire blade was emerald green and crystal clear, and it radiated flourishing vitality.
"It worked!"
Lin Chen looked at the carving knife in his hand, which had already become the Blade of Life, and was thrilled.
"It's so beautiful!"
Na'er immediately took the Blade of Life from Changqing's palm and stroked it carefully, her eyes sparkling. Girls really had no resistance to treasures.
The next moment, two divine thoughts belonging to the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life emerged from Na'er's and Mu Changqing's Seas of Spirit respectively.
"Kid, would you like an extra eye?"
The God of Destruction looked at Mu Changqing, keeping him in suspense as he waited for his reply.
"How would I get one?"
Mu Changqing pretended not to know. As he recalled, Huo Yuhao had fused the Life Guardian Blade into the space between his eyebrows with Electrolux's help, turning it into the Eye of Life.
That eye had brought Huo Yuhao many benefits. Its life element was also very powerful. As long as his brain remained intact, injuries to his body could heal on their own.
The Auspicious Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest was connected to that eye too. Poor Wang Qiu'er.
"Destruction and I will infuse our power into this carving knife, then insert it between your eyebrows. That will open your third eye!"
"But opening a third eye also comes at a great cost. The pain it brings isn't something an ordinary person can endure!"
The Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction looked at Mu Changqing, both waiting for him to make up his mind.
"Come on! Whether I live or die is entirely up to me!"
"Brother! Na'er will always stay with you!"
Na'er held Mu Changqing's fist, her eyes filled with tenderness. Whether it meant descending a mountain of blades or entering a sea of fire, Na'er would stay with Mu Changqing.
"Since you've decided, let's begin!"
The God of Destruction released his divine power into the surroundings. Before long, a force sealed off the entire room. No matter what happened inside, the people outside would not notice.
Under the two God Kings' divine power, the Life Guardian Blade in Mu Changqing's hand slowly floated into the air. Na'er walked aside and waited quietly.
Two streams of power were infused into the Life Guardian Blade respectively. Destruction and life elements spread through the space, as though they would tear it apart.
The Life Guardian Blade gradually changed from solid green into a carving knife patterned with purple and green. With a wave of the God of Destruction's hand, Mu Changqing floated into the air, level with the carving knife.
"We're about to begin!"
The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life aimed the carving knife between Mu Changqing's eyebrows. In an instant, it began piercing his skin, its tip already sinking deep into his brow.
"Aah-!"
The intense pain made Mu Changqing scream. Veins bulged on his forehead, and his Martial Soul automatically possessed him. The power brought by the Golden Dragon King eased the pain in his brain.
The carving knife continued deeper into Mu Changqing's brain. Even with his Martial Soul possession, the heart-piercing pain still made him grit his teeth.
Mu Changqing felt as though his brain were about to split apart. It was as if countless needles were stabbing into it, and these needles had been heated in fire, unlike ordinary ones.
Half the carving knife had already burrowed between his eyebrows. The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life exchanged a glance, as though communicating something, and immediately increased the divine power they poured in.
The Life Guardian Blade plunged completely into Mu Changqing's brain, opening an independent spiritual space inside his body.
A vertical eye containing rich life and destruction elements opened between Mu Changqing's eyebrows.
The vertical eye immediately released life elements to ease the pain in Mu Changqing's body. Under the healing of this power, Mu Changqing gradually regained his senses.
Na'er watched Mu Changqing with a worried expression. The moment the carving knife had entered between his eyebrows, her eyes had reddened.
Mu Changqing fully regained his senses and activated the vertical eye with his will, seeing his surroundings with perfect clarity.
Mu Changqing landed on the ground, and Na'er immediately threw herself at him and hugged him tightly. She looked him over, and when she saw that he was uninjured, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Changqing, a blessing in disguise! This vertical eye of yours contains the combined power of the Goddess of Life and me!"
"Destruction divine power and life divine power shouldn't be able to coexist. To think you actually accomplished it!"
The God of Destruction stroked his chin and spoke with a solemn expression. If the powers of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life did not repel each other, they would have had children long ago.
"Make good use of this power!"
After speaking, the Goddess of Life slipped into Na'er's Sea of Spirit. The God of Destruction also slipped into Mu Changqing's Sea of Spirit and fell asleep.
The powers of life and destruction combined-isn't that the Power of Creation?
Mu Changqing's heart leaped with joy.
"Brother! This eye of yours is so cool too. Why don't you give it a name?"
Na'er raised her hand and stroked the vertical eye between Mu Changqing's eyebrows, feeling the rich life element inside.
"Let's call it the Creation-Eye of Annihilation!"
Struck by inspiration, Mu Changqing quickly said it aloud.
