Swallowed Star: Lord of the Wolf

Blood Hidden City, Quiet Room.

Xueyin looked at the reply on the token, which had a strong "Mo family style", especially the sentence "only accepts 10% of the theoretical value of finished treasures", and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

This chief craftsman is indeed as rumored... extraordinary as rumored... extraordinary.

But judging from the reply, it was a good thing, so he didn't delay at all.

hum!
Blood Shadow's figure vanished from the quiet room in an instant.

The next moment, he appeared in the "Lightning Teleportation Array" that led from the City Lord's Mansion to the Thunder Merchant Guild in the Holy City. He needed to go there to transfer before he could finally reach his destination.

The array patterns flashed brightly, and a thick pillar of purple lightning enveloped him, tearing through space as he went.

At the core of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, on the edge of the Lesser Chaotic Thunder Sea, lies the Thunderfire Source Palace.

The interior of the hall remained scorching hot, with dark red lava flowing on the ground and the air distorted.

Blood Shadow's figure solidified in the light of the teleportation array, his simple white robe remaining motionless in the heatwave.

Almost at the same instant he appeared.

"Hey kid! What are you dawdling for! Where's the stuff?" A voice like a muffled thunderclap, filled with urgency and impatience, roared in Blood Shadow's ear.

Master Mo's disheveled figure appeared before Xue Yin like a ghost, his messy hair flying wildly, his furnace-like eyes fixed on Xue Yin, his gaze seemingly capable of igniting Xue Yin's plain robes, directly seeing the blueprint for the divine weapon he was conceiving.

Xue Yin remained calm and composed, and handed over the two jade slips he had prepared beforehand, along with a storage ring containing five hundred billion units of cosmic sand resources.

The jade slip contained not only his detailed ideas for weapons and armor and the requirements of the core laws, but also a list of the most suitable top-level materials for himself, which he deduced by sensing the bloodline of the Devouring Thunder Dragon!

Of course, the final construction method will depend on the master craftsman Mo's arrangements.

Master Mo snatched the jade slip and scanned it with his divine sense.

“The ‘Chaotic Primordial Iron Essence’ that carries the origin of thunder? The ‘Myriad Transformation Origin Crystal’ that serves as the core of devouring? The ‘Silent Thunder Pattern Steel’ that constructs the framework of destruction? The ‘Void Star Marrow’ that increases toughness? The ‘Return to the Void Divine Gold’ that enhances the armor’s self-healing? The ‘Thunder Source Ancient Beast Scales’ that serve as the base for the armor plates? ...And the ‘World-Devouring Thunder Dragon Reverse Scale Powder’ that serves as the core catalyst for devouring properties?…” Master Mo read through the list of key materials rapidly, like a machine gun, his eyes growing brighter and brighter, like two volcanoes about to erupt.

"Not bad, kid. I didn't expect you to have some insight into weapon crafting." Master Mo looked up, his gaze intense. "If you're going to make something, make the best. Kid, your appetite and ideas are just what I'm used to! These materials, especially the 'Myriad Transformation Source Crystal' and 'Return to the Void Divine Gold,' are rare treasures that are hard to come by. I don't have any of them in my private collection. To achieve the perfect effect you described, these things are indispensable."

He abruptly changed the subject, his tone laced with the fanaticism and unwavering authority characteristic of a weapon-forging fanatic: "I've reviewed your requirements. The concept is quite ingenious, but the fusion is extremely difficult! The balance between 'devouring and nourishing' and 'extreme overload resistance,' the perfect superposition of material destruction and devouring properties—all of these require my utmost effort to refine! Your five hundred billion cosmic sands should be enough to buy the materials on the list, but my fee..."

Master Mo extended a finger, blackened from being burned, and waved it in front of Xue Yin, his voice resolute: "I said I'd only take ten percent, and that's it! Based on your list of materials and your concept, if it's finalized, the value of the finished product will definitely exceed one trillion cosmic sands! I'll round up my fee for you to one hundred billion! Add the material costs... kid, your five hundred billion is probably going to be depleted! Are you in or not? One word!"

If it ultimately takes shape...

In other words, there is also the possibility of failure. Blood Shadow's eyes flashed, but then he thought that Master Mo was already one of the most powerful weapon refiners in the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, and ranked among the top in the entire Origin Continent. He was probably much stronger than the previous life of Sitting Mountain Guest!

If even Master Mo can't refine it, it's pointless to look for other weapon refiners.

"Deal!" Blood Shadow said decisively.

"The five hundred billion cosmic sands within the ring will be used to purchase materials and cover the fees for the master craftsman's services. Any overpayment will be refunded, and any underpayment will be collected." He paused, then added, "If there is a shortage of materials, the master may substitute them as appropriate, but the core requirements must be met!"

Master Mo weighed the ring in his hand, his furnace-like eyes narrowing with satisfaction: "Excellent! You're a straightforward young man. Don't worry, now that I've accepted your order, I'll do my best for you without you even asking. The core requirement is that there won't be a single discount!"

He put away the ring, then stared intently at Xue Yin with an unprecedented seriousness: "There's one more thing! Your list requires 'Devouring Thunder Dragon Reverse Scale Powder' as a catalyst... This is the finishing touch, allowing the devouring properties to completely fuse with the weapon itself, making it like a living thing! But this thing is too domineering and unruly; ordinary methods simply cannot perfectly forge and stimulate its spirituality! It requires some... the essence blood of the Devouring Thunder Dragon that you forged as a catalyst! Are you willing?"

Blood Shadow's eyes narrowed slightly. His primordial essence blood?

Of course!
He had already extracted quite a bit from that World-Devouring Thunder Dragon, but what Master Mo wanted was the primordial blood essence containing his life force, not that beast's.

Master Mo looked at Xue Yin, his eyes flashing with the unwavering determination unique to a grandmaster of weapon crafting: "Without this guide, I can at most unleash seven-tenths of the power of the Reverse Scale Powder, and the weapon's growth potential and the agility of its devouring and regeneration will be slightly inferior! With it... I am ninety percent confident that I can forge a peerless and ferocious weapon with a spirit that can grow alongside you! This concerns the final quality, and you decide for yourself!"

"How much do you need?" Blood Shadow's voice was deep.

“Three drops! Just three drops, as the finishing touch to complete the final product!” Master Mo’s eyes lit up, and he said decisively, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Blood Shadow remained silent for a moment.

Stripping away his original essence and blood would be detrimental to him, especially since he had only recently refined his bloodline and his foundation was not yet fully stable. But the prospect Master Mo described... a peerless, deadly weapon with sentience and the potential to grow!
Having considered this, Blood Shadow no longer hesitated.

He suddenly pressed his fingers together like a knife, his fingertips wrapped with dark purple divine power condensed to the extreme, and pointed it at his heart without hesitation.

laugh!laugh!laugh!
Three soft yet chilling sounds rang out as three blood beads, as condensed as amethyst crystals, seemingly containing countless tiny lightning bolts and devouring vortexes, and exuding a terrifying primal aura, were forcibly forced out from the depths of his heart meridian.

With each drop of blood that appeared, Xue Yin's face paled a little more, and a barely perceptible fluctuation appeared in his powerful aura.

That is a kind of depletion that originates from the very source of life!
"Here you go!" Xue Yin flicked his finger, and three drops of amethyst blood beads, containing the original pressure of the Devouring World Thunder Dragon and his own aura, slowly flew towards Master Mo.

Om-!
The moment the blood bead appeared, the air in the entire Thunderfire Source Palace rippled, demonstrating its domineering nature!

"Good! Good! Such pure primordial blood essence! Such domineering devouring will!" Master Mo's voice trembled with excitement. He carefully held out a dark golden bowl covered with countless sealing runes and instantly guided the three drops of blood essence into it, sealing them layer by layer.

The speed and caution of their actions were unprecedented.

"Hahahaha! With this essence blood as a guide, I am even more confident! Boy, just you wait! Within a hundred epochs, I will show you what a truly earth-shattering masterpiece is! Go, go, don't disturb me!" Master Mo laughed wildly, his figure transforming into a streak of lightning and fire, filled with excitement and focus, and instantly rushed back to the core workshop that resembled the head of a giant beast.

Bloodshot's eyes gleamed with anticipation; this was a treasure that had cost him all his savings, so he couldn't afford to take it lightly.

Even for a normal Chaos Realm Transcendence, accumulating 5000 billion cosmic sands would take an astronomical amount of time.

As I walked out, I heard a rumbling sound behind me.

Inside the workshop, an energy surge, far more violent than before, erupted. Countless thick bolts of chaotic lightning were forcibly drawn from the small chaotic lightning sea below and frantically injected into the furnace.

The entire Wanlei Tiangong Palace was shaken.

Xueyin stood in the teleportation array, his face slightly pale, feeling a faint weakness in his chest, but the cold flames in his deep eyes burned even more fiercely.

The pact of a hundred centuries has been made.

With a whoosh, the figure slowly dissipated in the lightning. ...

Time flies, and a hundred years is not a very long time on the scale of the origin continent.

The Hall of Ten Thousand Thunders, the core workshop.

For centuries, this workshop, resembling the head of a giant beast, has never ceased its roar.

The raging lightning and chaotic energy surged in day and night, causing the small chaotic lightning sea area under the core workshop to decrease slightly as a result.

The space surrounding the workshop had long been torn, distorted, and reinforced, forming a bizarre and chaotic zone. The terrifying pressure and the occasional bursts of ferocious aura that seemed to devour everything kept all the craftsmen at a distance, afraid to approach.

This day.

The roar inside the workshop suddenly rose to an unprecedented and terrifying peak, as if billions of stars were exploding inside at the same time.

hold head high--!!!!

A deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were splitting apart, erupted from the depths of the workshop.

The incredibly sturdy lightning-attracting crystal barrier was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks. A terrifying beam of light, whose color was indescribable, carrying darkness that devoured all light and purple lightning that tore everything apart, mixed with Master Mo's hoarse yet ecstatic roar, burst through the workshop's dome and shot straight into the sky.

"It's done! Abyssal Devourer!! Give it to me!!!"

The beam of light pierced through the restrictions above the Hall of Ten Thousand Thunder Gods and crashed into the churning small chaotic sea of ​​thunder above.

Rumble, rumble—! ! !
The entire small chaotic sea of ​​lightning briefly boiled.

The raging lightning seemed to have found an outlet, and it also seemed to have felt the call of a devouring will that was of the same origin but higher, frantically converging and pouring into the pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth.

Countless thick bolts of chaotic divine lightning, each a different color, surged into the pillar of light like ten thousand dragons returning to their nest.

Instead of being submerged by the sea of ​​lightning, the pillar of light became like a bottomless abyss, greedily devouring the destructive energy. Its color became even deeper and more terrifying, radiating a pressure that made the souls of many beings in the Myriad Thunder Heavenly Craft Palace tremble.

"what happened?!"

"What has Master Mo refined?!"

"A weapon of the ultimate level of a God-King?!"

Countless artisans and master craftsmen rushed out of their respective workshops, gazing at the pillar of light that pierced through the sea of ​​lightning, feeling the terrifying devouring will emanating from the core of the pillar, as if it wanted to swallow the entire Heavenly Crafts Hall along with the sea of ​​lightning in one gulp.

Very domineering!
Just as this cataclysmic scene reached its climax.

The beam of light suddenly contracted.

All the light, lightning, and devouring power collapsed madly into the workshop like a receding tide.

Everything is quiet!

The entire Wanlei Tiangong Palace fell into a deathly silence, with only the small chaotic thunder sea still churning restlessly.

next moment.

Om-! ! !
A deep, resonant sword cry, seemingly from the ancient wilderness, carrying supreme majesty and a desire to devour all things, clearly echoed deep within the soul of every living being.

A figure slowly rose from the broken dome of the workshop.

It was Master Mo!
He was in a sorry state, his gray hair was scorched and curly, his short jacket was almost a rag, and his body was covered with charred wounds and deep cracks that revealed the bone from the backlash of energy. His aura was weak and feeble, clearly indicating that he had expended a lot of energy.

But his furnace-like eyes shone like two stars that had burned for billions of years, filled with unparalleled pride, fervor, and... a kind of almost pilgrimage-like devotion to the 'Tao'!

He held it high in his hands as if cradling the most precious relic in the world—

A knife!

A long sword, dark red in color, seemingly forged from solidified dragon blood and stardust!

The blade is about five feet long and one hand wide, with a simple yet domineering design, and its smooth lines contain explosive power.

The blade's spine was thick and heavy, yet its edge was as thin as a cicada's wing, shimmering with a chilling, eerie light. The blade wasn't smooth; instead, it was covered with fine, mysterious, dark purple lightning patterns that seemed to move slowly and lifelessly. These patterns were not mere decoration; they were like blood vessels, or the veins of an abyss, constantly devouring the light, energy, and even the faint fluctuations of the laws governing the surrounding space.

Near the guard on the blade, three deep, dark vortex patterns arranged in a triangular pattern, seemingly connecting to the endless void, are faintly visible—that is the core that was forged from three pieces of the Devouring World Thunder Dragon's reverse scale powder and completely activated with three drops of primordial blood essence.

The hilt is wrapped in a strange, dark gold metal covered with fine dragon scale patterns, and a warm, powerful sensation emanates from the grip.

The entire knife, without any extraneous outward gleam, exudes a suffocating sense of oppression.

It lay quietly in Master Mo's hand, yet it seemed to be the center of the entire space, a black hole that devoured everything.

The surrounding lightning, light, sound, and even space itself were being silently absorbed and devoured by it! Even the roar of the small chaotic sea of ​​lightning in the distance became strangely low and weak after it approached the blade.

Blade Name: Abyss Devourer!
“Abyss… Devour…” Master Mo gazed at the peerless weapon in his hand, a weapon that had consumed a century’s worth of his life’s work, infused with unparalleled divine materials, the essence of Blood Concealment, and the Reverse Scale. His voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement and utter exhaustion. “Devouring all laws, nourishing oneself… using lightning as a guide, opening the Abyss of Chaos… What a magnificent blade that devours worlds! This blade… can be considered my life’s… true… masterpiece!”

He initially only intended to forge a weapon usable by someone at the second level of the God King realm, but now he has exceeded his usual level and forged an unparalleled and deadly weapon that has just crossed the threshold of the ultimate God King realm!
"Bloodthirsty brat, you've hit the jackpot!"

As he finished speaking, the Abyss Devouring Blade seemed to be awakened.

hum!
The three reverse scale vortex patterns on the blade suddenly lit up.

Roar--! ! !
A deep, majestic roar, seemingly from ancient times, resounded deep within the souls of all living beings. A solid, illusory image of a world-devouring thunder dragon, composed of pure devouring laws and chaotic lightning, suddenly shot into the sky from the blade.

The dragon's shadow roared to the sky, its eyes like two purple abysses that devoured everything, its gaping maw seemingly capable of swallowing the galaxy.

Rumble!
The entire Lesser Chaotic Thunder Sea erupted once more! (End of Chapter)
