As the red silk rope descended, Su Han and Tian Ling'er quickly reached the bottom of the canyon.
Tian Ling'er scanned the surroundings, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, her eyes filled with vigilance and curiosity.
"Su Han, this place seems a bit unusual..."
Green trees shaded the surroundings, yet a bone-chilling cold permeated the air.
Even though it was noon, when the sunlight fell, it was strangely, leaving one unable to feel the slightest warmth.
At this moment, Su Han felt the bloodthirsty bead in his embrace 'beating' more and more intensely, breathing in the dense demonic energy in the air.
He was already certain that soul-seizing was up ahead!
This made Su Han's heart burn with incomparable fervor.
But on the surface, Su Han remained calm, "What's unusual about it?"
Tian Ling'er shook her little head lightly, "I can't really say, but it just gives me a strange feeling."
"Then Ling'er, you wait here for me, I'll go up ahead and take a look myself."
Saying this.
Su Han then prepared to walk forward alone.
Upon hearing this, Tian Ling'er quickly said loudly, "Absolutely not!"
"Although your talent is good, my cultivation is higher than yours. This place is so strange, what if there's any danger? I have to protect you!"
Saying this, she stubbornly lifted her head.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm only protecting your safety because I listened to Mother's words."
After speaking.
Without waiting for Su Han's reply, she proactively ran forward.
Su Han's heart warmed as he looked at Tian Ling'er's back, "This little girl is quite tsundere, but she's also genuinely kind!"
Thinking this, Su Han shook his head and did not stop Tian Ling'er from following.
After all, with him around, Tian Ling'er wouldn't be in any danger. At most, she would just be affected by the demonic energy of soul-seizing, causing her to faint for a while.
Along the way.
Su Han could clearly feel that the demonic nature emanating from afar was growing stronger and stronger, which made Su Han's heart even more expectant.
Meanwhile, Tian Ling'er, while running, was still muttering about the strangeness of this place.
"Su Han, something is really wrong here. It's broad daylight, yet it's so cold."
"Maybe it's because we're at the bottom of the canyon."
Su Han casually brushed it off.
At the same time, his gaze was fully fixed on the end of the distant canyon, on that seemingly small pool of water.
Around the distant pool, not a blade of grass grew, and the land displayed a strange scorched black color.
The sunlight completely lost its warmth here, blocked out by the dense demonic energy.
The surface of the pool was like stagnant water, without the slightest ripple, yet it emitted a suffocating sense of oppression, making one feel awe and dread as if it could devour everything.
"This should be the pool where soul-seizing is submerged, right?"
"Ah~"
And just as Su Han was thinking, Tian Ling'er also seemed to notice the strangeness of the pool and appeared to want to go forward and investigate.
But when Tian Ling'er stepped onto the black scorched earth, her body suddenly went limp without any warning, and she couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
The next second.
Tian Ling'er fainted directly.
"As expected."
Seeing this, Su Han walked to Tian Ling'er's side, picked her up in a horizontal embrace, "Don't tell me, this little girl's body is quite soft."
Su Han smiled and placed Tian Ling'er under a large tree not far away.
Only then did he walk alone towards the pool that was almost completely enveloped by demonic energy.
He didn't know if it was because of the term Buddha Body and Devil Heart.
At this moment, Su Han stood by the pool, not only feeling no abnormality, such as being unable to exert strength, but instead, an unprecedented sense of 'exhilaration' arose in his heart.
"Soul-seizing, you made me look for you!"
Su Han whispered softly, then took out a book from his embrace.
It was precisely the method of artifact refining that he had obtained from Shui Yue before leaving Xiao Zhu Peak.
"Let me see, how can I make the 'artifact' take the shape I want during refining..."
......
......
......
"So that's how it is."
"As long as you think of the shape of the 'artifact' in your mind when it is forming, you can shape it according to your own thoughts."
"Simple."
After all, it was just the most basic method of artifact refining and shaping, a spell that any Qingyun Sect disciple at the Yuqing Realm Fourth Layer must learn when descending the mountain to refine magical treasures, so it was destined not to be too difficult.
Therefore, Su Han simply read through the entire book once and had already completely grasped the method of artifact refining and shaping.
"Since everything is ready, it's time to start blood refining my own magical treasure!"
Su Han smiled and shattered the book in his hand, then, without any hesitation, leaped directly into the deep pool.
As soon as he leaped into the deep pool, the bloodthirsty bead in Su Han's embrace seemed impatient, suddenly rushing out from Su Han's embrace and flying towards the depths of the pool.
Seeing this, Su Han grasped the bloodthirsty bead tightly.
Allowing it to pull him, bringing him to the very bottom of this deep pool.
Within the deep pool, strange rocks were scattered, there were no living creatures, only dead silence.
He didn't know how many meters he had dived.
Suddenly, directly below Su Han, the water flow formed a huge vortex, creating a brief vacuum.
And within the vacuum.
He saw on the rock at the bottom of the river, a strange rod, appearing to be made of black material, like wood or iron, surrounded by blood-red demonic energy.
And that was exactly what Su Han had been longing for, the soul-seizing rod.
Seeing the soul-seizing rod, Su Han's eyes grew even more fervent.
Immediately, Spirit Energy surged, making his descent speed instantly faster by a few points.
In the blink of an eye, Su Han was less than ten meters away from the soul-seizing rod.
And at this moment.
The bloodthirsty bead pulsed more and more intensely, as if it had encountered a evenly matched opponent.
And the soul-seizing rod located beneath the deep pool also suddenly shot up at this moment, arriving in front of Su Han, rotating and confronting the bloodthirsty bead around Su Han.
Seeing this.
Su Han summoned Spirit Energy and cut a wound on the palm of his right hand.
"Let the blood refining begin!"
He saw that at this moment, Su Han's fresh blood seemed to be attracted by something, surging towards the bloodthirsty bead and the soul-seizing rod respectively.
And the two, who had just been wary and confronting each other, now slowly moved closer together under the guidance of Su Han's fresh blood.
The soaring demonic energy, like burning red flames, completely enveloped Su Han, the bloodthirsty bead, and the soul-seizing rod.
And at this moment, Su Han imagined in his mind the appearance of a 'sword'.
The sword was entirely black, incredibly sharp.
But the sword body was covered in countless fine cracks, as if it wasn't a single entity...
Instead, it was connected by thousands and tens of thousands of fragments, using the violent demonic power emitted by the red, seemingly devil's eye-like bloodthirsty bead embedded on the sword hilt.
He didn't know how long had passed.
Su Han felt that about one-third of the blood in his body had been consumed, which made his face somewhat pale.
Finally, the 'sword' in front of him was completely formed.
"Now!"
The next second.
Su Han suddenly extended his right hand, breaking through the layers of demonic energy obstruction, and firmly grasped the hilt of this demonic sword.
Boom!!!
As Su Han's right hand grasped the hilt of the demonic sword, the endless demonic energy exploded with a roar, blasting a temporary vacuum in the entire deep pool.
The red demonic light soared into the sky, illuminating the entire canyon.
At this point, the 'sword' was forged!
