Chapter 1596: Chapter 1592: Transformation

(End-of-Month Outbreak, asking for monthly tickets please ^^)

On the other side, Fire Spirit Child also arrived at the center of the Ring Array on the right side and took a seat cross-legged.

He raised his hand and with a swing, a flash of light appeared in front of him, and the Gu Xuan star disk emerged, which he lifted and gently sent floating into the air, hovering above the Black Stone Stele.

Immediately afterward, Fire Spirit Child waved both hands, moving them back and forth in the Void a few times.

The grooves on the Gu Xuan star disk also seemed to be manipulated by an invisible Big Hand, spinning rapidly.

A moment later, the light on the Gu Xuan star disk condensed, followed by a burst of golden light, and hundreds of golden Light Marks shot out from the disk, falling into every corner of the Secret Chamber, forming a brand new Array.

“Fire Daoist friend, what is this?” Shen Luo asked.

“It's a Defensive Array discovered in the Gu Xuan star disk. It's called defense, but it actually can restrain the collisions of power within the Array, making it the best choice for increasing the stability of both the Spirit Refining Array and the Conversion Array,” Fire Spirit Child explained.

“Does this Great Formation have a name?” Shen Luo asked.

“Xuan Star Bundle… You, Young Master Shen, shut your mouth, don't think about prying into my Spirit Refining and Conversion Array, if you keep blabbering, don't blame me if the conversion fails later,” Fire Spirit Child said irritably.

“Alright, alright, I won't ask anymore, won't ask anymore,” Shen Luo hurriedly waved his hands and said.

“When the time comes, follow my command; only release the Golden Crow Soul when I tell you. The timing cannot be too early, nor too late, or else it might lead to failure,” Fire Spirit Child cautioned.

Shen Luo nodded, seeing the other's serious expression, he couldn't help but feel somewhat tense.

But after speaking, both of them fell silent, staring at each other with wide eyes.

After waiting for a moment, Fire Spirit Child couldn't help but yell, “What are you dazing for, why haven't you brought out your Pure Yang Flying Sword yet?”

Feeling somewhat amused and helpless, Shen Luo hastily waved his hand, and three Pure Yang Flying Swords neatly aligned themselves in front of him.

“Just use one for now, in case of failure, we can't afford to ruin all of them at once,” Fire Spirit Child said after a slight contemplation.

“Fire Daoist friend, can you be more reliable? Is there really an eighty percent success rate?” Shen Luo asked with a cold sweat on his back, now somewhat doubting Fire Spirit Child's previous confidence.

“What are you afraid of? I'm just being cautious. If you're not willing, then let's use all three at once,” Fire Spirit Child said with a frown.

“Willing, very willing,” Shen Luo hurriedly responded.

After saying so, he immediately lifted his hand, retracting the other two Flying Swords, leaving only one floating in front of him.

Seeing this, Fire Spirit Child's expression turned serious, and he waved his hands in the Void while chanting a few words. Then, he pointed a finger into the Void in front of him.

The Array on the Black Stone Stele immediately shone brightly, and a surge of black light erupted forth.

Fire Spirit Child's eyes narrowed slightly, and he changed the magic spell with his hand before waving in the Void once more.

In a flash, the burst of black light in the Void condensed, forming a Black Vortex.

Following closely, the charm patterns carved on the Ground also lit up, with charm lights shooting up into the air, turning into a dark red cylindrical Light Pillar shooting straight into the Black Vortex.

The two Rune Arrays blended with each other, maintaining a surprisingly balanced state, merging together remarkably well.

“Not bad, just as I expected,” Fire Spirit Child said, nodding with satisfaction.

Shen Luo, upon seeing this, couldn't help but feel apprehensive. The Fire Spirit Child was clearly validating his own ideas step by step; as to whether the success rate was truly the eighty percent claimed, only heaven knew.

However, there was no turning back now, even if he wanted to.

“Young Master Shen, send the sword into the vortex of the Array, gently, without disturbing the operation of the Array,” Fire Spirit Child instructed.

Shen Luo nodded in response, carefully controlling the Pure Yang Flying Sword to slowly pass through the Array, descending bit by bit into the black vortex below from directly above.

As the Longsword slowly fell into the vortex, it no longer needed Shen Luo's control and was locked in place by an invisible force, directly immobilized in the center of the vortex.

The Pure Yang Flying Sword, using a sliver of its spirit, became aware and began shaking violently, attempting to break free from its constraints.

The originally stable black vortex and red light pillars suddenly twisted, and a series of muffled thunder-like sounds emanated from the center of the Array. The balance was on the verge of being disrupted, threatening to fail at the last moment.

“Young Master Shen, quickly control the Flying Sword,” urged Fire Spirit Child.

Shen Luo hastily controlled the Flying Sword with his mind and finally stabilized it, thereby halting the disturbances in the Array.

Seeing this, Fire Spirit Child flipped his palm over, revealing a red Talisman in his hand.

He pinched the Talisman between two fingers, waved it in the Void, and then pointed it toward the ground in front of him. With a “whoosh,” the Talisman Paper ignited into raging Red Flames.

In a flash, a trail of Red Fire spread along the charm patterns on the ground in front of him, shooting straight into the red light column.

A “whoosh” sound echoed.

The Crimson Light Pillar instantly burst into raging flames, shooting directly into the black vortex, coiling around the Pure Yang Flying Sword like a Fire Dragon.

This Red Fire, of some unusual nature, burned with such extreme heat that in just a moment, the entire body of the Pure Yang Flying Sword was glowing crimson, shining brightly like fire crystal, visibly clear through the black vortex.

At that moment, Fire Spirit Child suddenly floated into the air, his fingers together like a knife, carving in the air towards the Pure Yang Flying Sword.

As his hand moved, a delicately crafted black knife formed within the black vortex, carving marks on the body of the sword, unmistakably the receiving charm patterns for welcoming a Tool Spirit.

After the charm patterns were completed, Fire Spirit Child landed back inside the Array and said to Shen Luo, “Young Master Shen, prepare yourself; we can release the Monster soul now.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo immediately flipped his palm, and a golden arrow appeared in his hand.

As the golden arrow materialized, an extremely scorching breath began to spread in the Void, and Fire Spirit Child could clearly feel that breath even from a distance.

“Young Master Shen, this Monster soul does not seem like an easy target; be careful not to let any mishap occur,” he couldn't help but remind.

Shen Luo was naturally aware that the Three-legged Golden Crow sealed within the arrow was not to be trifled with and was already fully alert.

He saw Shen Luo place both hands together on the arrow, and a Crimson Rune engraved on the arrow shaft immediately emerged.

With a thought, he pinched the place of the rune on the arrow shaft between his forefinger and thumb, rotating the Huangting Technique within him. He shouted lowly and suddenly exerted force to snap it.

A crisp “crack” sound rang out.

The arrow shaft broke at the sound, and the Crimson Rune engraved upon it also flickered and then went out.

The front end of the arrow, however, lit up with golden light at that moment, followed by a surge of fiery power erupting from it.

Before long, the entire arrowhead was completely engulfed in a golden flame, and the illusion of a Three-legged Golden Crow emerged from within, spreading its wings and emitting a piercing scream, yet it was as hoarse and unpleasant as the caw of a crow.
