Chapter 765: Chapter 223: The Demon Blade That Cuts Lifespan, Li Yuan’s Terror and Cunning

The next morning, Li Yuan arrived at the cave with a sense of nervousness. He took out the Earth Fire Sword, three fiery flags, and some pre-prepared forging tools.

Nowadays, when forging weapons, he no longer needed the use of a furnace and molds.

For the former, he could simply cradle the materials with his Golden Body and breathe fire onto them; for the latter, his own strength was still enough to control.

It’s just that he was really nervous.

Could the Earth Fire Sword, inherited by the Holy Fire Palace over thousands of years, be simple?

This thing might not even belong to Wei Huosheng, but rather be passed down through a line of succession.

By crudely remelting it like this, he was completely squandering it.

However, the Earth Fire Sword couldn’t be taken out, as long as he held it, he would swiftly become a target of attack from the "East Sea Immortal Realm."

Therefore, the Earth Fire Sword must be melted and reforged into another weapon.

If time allowed and conditions permitted, Li Yuan would still first learn and understand the forging method of a Third Grade.

But now, he couldn’t.

Of course, there were many other problems besides this.

For instance, could the Celestial Soul or Earth Soul use weapons?

Also, the bit of Source Blood he had slowly accumulated in the past was long gone. Now, his blood was a peculiar kind of blood born in the body due to the "Ancestral Talisman" and "Withered Fire," and this blood still operated in the original way, but Li Yuan knew it was different from the past.

So, the question arose, could such blood still forge weapons?

But it had to be tried.

After all, even if the Earth Fire Sword was gone, he could still rob the Yellow-robed Man’s Inner Armor, couldn’t he?

Currently, Li Yuan’s physical makeup was quite complex, roughly divided into three parts:

[True Form]: Withered Fire Golden Body Immortal Appearance;

[Body]: A mountain;

[Human Form]: Flesh and blood from the "Human World Transformation" and "Myriad Beasts Transformation."

From inside out, it was [[[True Form] Body] Human Form].

And within the True Form, it was "Yin... [Yang [Yin] Yang]... Yin."

Now, he needed to extract the blood from the [Human Form], melt the Third Grade Weapon, then infuse it with the maximized lifespan using the [Beidou Hammer], and thus create a weapon that "he himself might not fully understand, but only knew it shouldn’t be weak."

...

Suddenly!

In a deserted area at the boundary of Cloud Mountain Path and Fujiang Path on this continent, a figure abruptly emerged.

After the figure appeared, it released its senses, searched around, and only after confirming there were no people nearby, did it settle by a stream.

The stream flowed from the west, presumably thawed water from the Western Pole Glacier.

Everything ready, Li Yuan mentally reviewed the process once more, then took a deep breath.

The next moment, a bright hundred-foot Golden Body emerged from behind him, cradling a strange sword as black as a chimney.

The Golden Body’s face drew near and took a deep breath, causing whirlwinds to rise all around.

He held his breath, focused, and then blew withered white flames onto the strange sword.

Despite this, the strange sword remained unmoved and cold in the intense fire.

It’s important to note that the sword at this time had no wielder’s power and hadn’t truly been activated, solely relying on its own endurance.

Li Yuan had the patience; he continued breathing fire.

As time passed, the strange sword finally showed a trace of loosening.

A slight "crack" sound gradually emerged.

On the black sword’s surface, finally appeared a hair-thin crack.

Unbelieving and bizarre howls came from within the sword.

"It’s loosened, finally loosened. Let’s get out of here quickly!"

"How many years has it been..."

"Seize the chance, let’s work together to break through this crack."

"Go!!"

After the bizarre sounds, Li Yuan saw twisted, shadowy figures squeezing out of the crack in groups, then shooting out like lightning.

But the moment these hazy figures emerged, they found a terrifying giant face peeking just beyond that glimmer of hope.

The withered flames engulfed the surrounding.

Fire?

They were not afraid.

However, this was not simple fire, but a concentration of Yang Qi.

Instantly, those shadowy figures shooting out like bullets melted away with a "sizzle" as snow into hot soup, and quickly vanished without a trace.

The high-temperature withered fire became their grave.

Yet these shadowy figures surged out fiercely, almost all rushing out simultaneously, so... all melted away and disappeared without a trace, leaving no sound.

Li Yuan watched in silence, knowing that these shadowy figures were most likely past Palace Masters of the Holy Fire Palace. They reached the threshold of the Third Grade Realm, only to step into the trap woven for them.

Now... they turned to ashes under his withered fire.

This feeling left him with a slight notion of having become the "Great Demon King."

However, he couldn’t let them escape. These shadowy figures had been imprisoned within the Earth Fire Sword for countless years, and their nature may have twisted beyond recognition. People might no longer be who they once were.

Besides, they had no physical body, and Li Yuan didn’t know if they could possess something or not, but rather than releasing them to introduce variables, it was better to extinguish them on the spot.

With the disappearance of those bizarre cries, the crack on the sword began to show more fractures.

Crack, crack, crack...

As the sound continued, the edges of those cracks started to show signs of melting.

Drip, drip, the unknown metallic liquid turned into pitch-black fluid.

Li Yuan skillfully controlled the metal liquid, then let it morph into a long blade shape in the Golden Body’s palm.

Timing it right, a few drops of Source Blood from within him shot out, landing on the blade, and then he grabbed the Beidou Hammer.
