Chapter 919: Rebirth, Crescent Moon
Chapter 919: Rebirth, Crescent Moon
Besides spending a few hours returning to the sixth floor of the Thunder Fortress, letting Fat Toad Jia De bring to Jun Wu You the news that he and Princess Qian Qian were practising on the tenth floor, Yue Yang never left the already devastated unit world.
During the day, Yue Yang used the small Power of the Laws to guide the Black Hole Seal Space.
He absorbed a lot of ice ridges to help Empress Fei Wen Li to speed up the rate of completion for her ice world. In the evening, Yue Yang returned tiredly to the Grimoire World and enjoyed the gentle massage of the slave. If Princess Qian Qian was in a good mood, she would come and take a bath with him, but he was not allowed to touch her— otherwise, she would bite him. The beautiful days passed by, but even as another ten days passed, Xue Wu Xia never regained consciousness. Yue Yang guessed that it would take at least half a year for Wu Xia to fully integrate with that unknown Godhead.
And the estimation was even done based on the fact that Yue Yang would be transferring some of his True Qi to her daily.
That unknown Godhead was too powerful.
Until now, Yue Yang still couldn't figure out why a warrior with such a powerful Godhead would sacrifice his life to seal Red Sky River.
"Xue Wu Xia is already considered to be in a pretty good shape. In addition to getting a Godhead, the Book of Truth was also promoted to an artifact. And I'm the only one stuck without any additional improvements!" Princess Qian Qian couldn't help but become slightly jealous. In this battle, Empress Fei Wen Li gained ice energy, Xue Wu Xia obtained the Godhead, and even Yue Yang got the Primordial Ancient Rune— she was the only one who didn't manage to gain anything.
"Tigress, there will be something that suits you next time!" Yue Yang hurriedly comforted her.
"Let me bite you," Princess Qian Qian demanded.
"Huh?" Yue Yang felt odd—What kind of request was that?
"I'm angry..." Naturally, Princess Qian Qian's request could not be met and that was because student Yue Yang temporarily conquered her rage with a more brutal action—that is, to seal her mouth with a suffocating kiss. That way, there was no chance for her to bite anyone around her!
Princess Qian Qian failed to obtain any sort of treasure, which was why Yue Yang felt a little guilty in his heart. Tigress's effort was still quite large, so she can't be at loss too much.
Therefore, he decided to take time to help her refine the Prison Emperor's Divine Sword. The collapsed iceberg was almost entirely collecte and filled anyways.
If Yue Yang's decision had been made before he kissed her, Princess Qian Qian would definitely not agree to it.
But after receiving such a suffocating kiss, she remained weak and was unable to form the usual "tigress Coercion'.
She had to abstain and let Yue Yang win this time.
Before helping Princess Qian Qian in refining the Prison Emperor's Divine Sword, there was a problem. He needed to find a way to rescind the ownership and make the sword Tigress's sword. Yue Yang was the master that the Divine Sword had recognised, but because of the interference of the Prison Emperor's Legacy, the person who used it ended up becoming Princess Qian Qian. If Yue Yang cleared all the remaining legacies of the Prison Emperor, then the new Prison Emperor's Divine Sword would definitely recognize Yue Yang as the master. With that, not only would Princess Qian Qian become unable to integrate it, she would not even be able to use it now. Now that Yue Yang had a more powerful Prison Emperor Divine Seal, the day he completely eliminated the lingering signs of the Prison Emperor over the Divine Seal and made it his own, the power of the Divine Sword would also increase as well!
Therefore, Yue Yang still hoped from the bottom of his heart that Princess Qian Qian could continue to use the Divine Sword.
The heroic figure of her wearing armour and sword was actually very cute.
It's just the fact that Yue Yang, a lunatic, always imagined a day would come when he could 'push down' Tigress without undressing the armour. He never said it out aloud, but that sort of conquering skill was what life truly was about!
"What are you thinking about? Your saliva is about to flow out!" Princess Qian Qian slammed Yue Yang who was in a daze with her fist. This was because she hated his lustful appearance most.
This attack failed to knock some gentlemanly sense into Yue Yang, but it did help in forming some ideas in his mind.
Actually, those ideas weren't something that just formed out of the physical attack.
He had thought of similar ideas a long time ago.
But at that time, his strength was insufficient as the abilities he mastered were at a level that was very different from what it was now.
The most important thing was that without enough materials, even if it was intentional, it couldn't be completed, so Yue Yang had left that idea behind for a long time. Today, after getting a good hit from Princess Qian Qian, Yue Yang remembered the idea and further formed a brand-new concept on that idea. "Ah, ah! I thought about it, but before I help you purify the Prison Emperor Divine Sword, I have to do an experiment first to make sure of something and accumulate some experience at the same time. Wait for me!" He immediately grabbed her hands with joy as soon as he confirmed his next actions. She held her little hand and forced a kiss on it, making Princess Qian Qian's fingers tremble.
He didn't care about getting dressed, so he appeared naked out of the water.
Then, he dashed all the way to his laboratory.
Princess Qian Qian saw it and reacted. Her blushing face was feverish and she was very angry on the surface, scolding him, "Idiot! Look at yourself! Look at what you look like, oh dear!"
But she felt oddly gleeful on the inside.
This guy really looked like a big kid sometimes.
Whenever he thinks of something, he'll do it straight away and abandon everything else, geez... I don't even know if I should praise his devotion and dedication, or to criticise that he's such an impulsive person. But, if I were to clarify things, he could be serious when the situation calls for it!
She was actually very happy to see Yue Yang busy as she felt that he was the most attractive at this time!
Others thought that Yue Yang's smile was the most attractive part of him, but she doesn't think of it that way.
She just thought that the pervert himself would like to initiate something naughty.
"Crescent Moon, you finally have a reincarnation day; who would have guessed! I thought you were going into the warehouse as a souvenir!" Yue Yang sighed incomparably when he summoned his Crescent Moon blade. Because of his lack of strength at the beginning, Yue Yang could only achieve Platinum Rank when casting the Crescent Moon— even trying to get to the Holy Rank was hopeless. As a result, this sharp blade, which was originally very useful in the early stages, had almost no chance to appear in the later stages. Especially the evolution of the Tao Tie Blade and the presence of the two terrestrial items, the Star Gathering Heavenly Scorpio, completely took the place of the Crescent Moon. Forget the metal beasts,Tao Tie Blade and the Star Gathering Heavenly Scorpio, just the Black Light Holy Dagger and the Five Colours of Divine Light could result in the Crescent Moon Blade rusting inside the storage area.If it wasn't for the fact that he needed to confuse and weaken Red Sky River, Yue Yang would not have thought about using Crescent Moon.
In this battle, Yue Yang obtained a lot of Divine Blood.
Most of it was absorbed by the PrisonEmperor's Divine Seal, but he still managed to get ten drops for himself.
Yue Yang decided to upgrade his own Crescent Moon. Although it wouldn't reach the level of a Holy Rank Earth Divine Weapon like the Tao Tie Blade, he could also make it a killing weapon that at least bore the rank of a Holy Weapon, right?
The most important tool was no longer a problem.
While using the Black Hole Seal Space to swallow the iceberg, Yue Yang discovered that there was a core area of the iceberg. In the extremely cold ice core, there were still a few traces of that unknown holy and supreme spiritual sense. It was heavily broken and it was impossible to recover, but maybe it was the Divine Supremacy that had inadvertently drifted to the ice core before dispersing its consciousness.
Yue Yang couldn't read the memory of that predecessor nor did he know any information about her during her lifetime. He only learned from the Godhead she left behind that she was a female.
Perhaps using such a powerful female senior to become own spirit was a bit disrespectful.
But this might be the only way to continue to commemorate her.
Otherwise, while waiting for the ice core to dissipate, the last few remaining pieces of Divine Consciousness would disappear in smoke and become annihilated.
"I don't know how to call you, senior. Since there's no turning back now, please possess my Crescent Moon and fight with me from now on! The Crescent Moon is of the frost attribute, which is why I don't think you would dislike it. Hence, please merge with it and help me eliminate my enemies in the future!" In order to protect the few strands of spiritual consciousness left by that unknown predecessor, Yue Yang personally made a cut on his finger and used his own blood to draw a picture of the enlightenment of the new Primordial Ancient Rune onto the Crescent Moon Blade. With an ice core that was the size of a small mountain, the Divine Blood of the Goddess wrapped around the soul of the unknown predecessor and slowly poured into the Crescent Moon, followed by the refining through the Nirvana Flame.
After being refined, the Crescent Moon will usher in a brand new change.
What will it become?
Yue Yang himself couldn't imagine it.
Because he gave the selection rights of the final form to the unnamed predecessor's remaining spiritual consciousness to show his respect for the Goddess.
One day passed.
As the refining reached its peak state, Yue Yang bit his tongue, spraying his own blood and the Chaotic Origin Energy in his body into the blade.
Princess Qian Qian and the little slave were too nervous to even breathe. Princess Qian Qian tightly held the hilt of her sword as the little slave covered her mouth adorably—for fear that her teeth would tremble with tension and for fear that the sound the jittering of her teeth would affect Yue Yang's final refining process.
Thousands of brilliance bloomed like flowers.
The colourful light resembled a rainbow as they were spreading in bursts. At the same time, an invisible, ice-cold Will permeated the entire Grimoire World.
Ding!
With a sound that resembled a sound of the Heaven's beckons, the most precious 'Dream Ice Crystal Gold', ice core, Divine Blood, the unknown goddess's spiritual sense, Chaos Origin Energy, and Yue Yang's blood that he obtained from the Demon Sovereign Area were all added. Finally, under the refinement of the Innate Sword Qi and the Nirvana Flame did the reincarnation of the blade become successful. It broke past the level of advancements that it couldn't achieve previously and advanced immensely compared to what it was before!
It was suspended in the air through the power of Yue Yang's mind.
Compared with the original half-moon-shaped blade, this time, it extended both of its sides. The curved blade was more slender and thinner, making it look like a work of art.
The Dream Ice Crystal Gold and the ice core seamlessly merged together, turning the blade into a blade befitting of a weapon in war.
At the core, there was a spherical Chaotic Origin Energy.
The Chaos Origin Energy was the fusion of the Divine Blood and Yue Yang's blood. After the blood of Yue Yang had swallowed the Divine Blood, a new kind of blood was formed as it was now tasked to store the spiritual consciousness of the unknown Goddess. Of course, the three of them were also perfectly fused together. It turned out that the Primordial Ancient Rune pattern 'Everlasting' and the Heavenly rune pattern, 'Frost' and 'Sharp', have also formed a specially wonderful mutation and evolution under the new life of the ancient rune pattern which Yue Yang merged with his blood.
The new Primordial Ancient Rune blood map went through its own 'rebirth' whereas the increase mutated its entire 'immortality', turning it into an 'Eternal Existence' that was beyond the general Primordial Ancient Rune pattern.
Even the original 'Frost' and 'Sharp'.
The advanced metamorphosis had also led the two blades to become Glacier and the Split Heaven that were close to the power of ancient runes as their power had been raised to a completely different level.
The Crescent Moon that had just been reborn slowly fell back on Yue Yang's hands. Its shape was not very abnormal as the original shape became perfect after Yue Yang's design. The spiritual sense of that unknown goddess just extended it a bit to make it look more slender and elegant. On the outside of Yue Yang's blood rune, there was an extra layer of fine patterns, which may be the signs of her life. However, Yue Yang didn't know what sort of inflorescences belonged to these delicate patterns or what they meant.
Like a work of art instead of a murder weapon, it has already made a leap in quality that surpassed Yue Yang's original expectations.
Now, it has become the existence of one of the sub-Divine artifacts.
From the original Platinum Rank, directly crossing the Holy Rank and leaping straightforwardly to the sub-Divine Rank. If the unknown Goddess had more spiritual knowledge, or if she could carry the Godhead, the Crescent Moon might be able to become a Divine Ranked weapon even if there were only the remaining pieces of the Godhead!
It was a pity that the unknown goddess left behind an amount of spiritual knowledge that was too little and the actual Godhead itself was merging with Xue Wu Xia, so the Crescent Moon could only obtain a sub-Divine rank.
"From now on, I will still call you Crescent Moon. From now on, please accompany me to slay the devil and slaughter the Gods!" Being able to reach the sub-Divine Weapon had already exceeded Yue Yang's expectations by a far margin. He originally only thought that it would be promoted to the Holy Rank at most, not even the Superior Holy Rank. But who would have thought that the blade was able to achieve the level of a sub-Divine Rank! Yue Yang, who was extremely satisfied and extremely excited, raised the Crescent Moon and couldn't help but make a bold statement.
"Ding......"
It seemed to ring in response to its Master's statement as the Crescent Moon glowed with utter brilliance, resembling a spring day in a field of flowers.
It let out a cry that sounded like Heaven's call, which reverberated immensely into the depths of the people's hearts. For a long time, it did not calm down, making Princess Qian Qian and the little slave who were onlookers, tremble due to the overwhelming force.
Princess Qian Qian rushed in at this time and directly punched Yue Yang, "Bad guy, I can't believe you really succeeded!"
Yue Yang took the opportunity to initiate physical contact and hugged Tigress for a bit.
Not waiting for her to raise a fist, he turned around and hugged the slave, pretending that this was an over-excited reaction instead of a premeditated surprise attack with the intentions of a sly wolf. Princess Qian Qian rolled her eyes, please, do you think I have the talent for six senses for nothing? But she didn't expose him and allowed him to be sassy with her.
With this best experience, Yue Yang was now confident that he could help Princess Qian Qian with her sword, but Princess Qian Qian waved her hand and said, "I'm not in a hurry. While you are in good condition, it's better to use that strength on the Eye-Destroying Dagger and the Pisces Ribbon. The quality should also be refined—especially the Pisces Ribbon. If they could play their roles, then in some cases, we would be able to control the entire battle!"
"The Pisces Ribbon?" Yue Yang felt that there was some truth to her words. If the Pisces Ribbon could be even better, this thing would be as terrifying as the Chains of War in the 'Heroes of Might and Magic'[1]!
