Chapter 441: Chapter 437: Pure Yang Sword Embryo (Part 2) Chapter 441: Chapter 437: Pure Yang Sword Embryo (Part 2) Shen Luo bit his tongue, spurting out a mouthful of essence blood.

With a soft “pop”, the essence blood exploded and wrapped the dark red small sword in a mist of blood.

He formed a hand gesture, the blood mist circling around the little sword before melting completely into it, disappearing from sight.

Then, Shen Luo's ten fingers spread out again, ten strands of blue light shot from his fingertips, turning into ten sharp blue threads, swiftly engraving runes onto the sword body while it was not yet solidified.

The runes spread and faintly formed a miniature array.

After a quarter of an hour, he exhaled deeply and dispersed the blue light threads at his fingertips.

The dark red little sword had completely solidified, but the array had already been inscribed on it.

But the refinement of the Sword Embryo was not yet over. Shen Luo picked up a small white powder from the side, sprinkled it on the dark red small sword, and then threw it into the flames of the casting furnace to roast.

The white powder was quickly melted by the heat, like salt grains encountering water, gradually integrating into the small sword.

He then picked up another material and carefully followed the method recorded in the Pure Yang Sword Canon, continuing to refine it into the Sword Embryo.

This refinement took a full day and night. As all the materials were absorbed into the Sword Embryo, its shape also changed. Its color turned pale red, and the slightly rough parts of the sword body became delicate.

The entire sword was sharp and radiated a chilling aura.

Shen Luo did not stop, drawing a deep breath and forming a hand gesture.

The Pure Yang Sword Embryo shot out with a “swoosh” sound, falling at the center of the ground array, hovering there.

He made a point with his gesture, and the ground array immediately sent out a humming sound, erupting a powerful spiritual power fluctuation, then a large swath of red light shot out from the array.

These layers of red light intersected with each other, forming a huge red lotus.

The Pure Yang Sword Embryo that hovered in the center of the array also lit up suddenly, and a large amount of crystal-clear red light bloomed from it, revolving around the sword embryo quickly to form a red vortex.

Shen Luo, not knowing the specific effect of the array in advance, was slightly surprised when he saw this scene.

However, he quickly calmed down, waved his hand to take out the white jade box, placed it in the array, formed two palms with a hand gesture, opened the stone box in the air, and then pointed at the void, a blue light shot out and merged into the stone box.

Ever since he discovered that the stone box could absorb the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, he had been attempting to refine this item using the Ninety-Nine Wealth Technique during this period. However, unlike talismanic instruments and magic instruments, the stone box, even though it contains some prohibitive forces, could not be refined by the Ninety-Nine Wealth Technique.

Despite these attempts, it wasn't all for naught, as Shen Luo was now able to slightly manipulate some of the prohibitive forces within the stone box.

After the blue light merged into the stone box, a faint white light was reflected on the surface of the stone box.

The head-sized cluster of Red Lotus Karmic Fire shot out from inside, even seeming to escape to the outside, as though a creature with spiritual wisdom.

Shen Luo quickly recited a spell, stirred up the array, and the red light in front of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire condensed into a red light shield.

With a soft “pop”, the Red Lotus hit the light shield and bounced back.

At this moment, the red lotus within the array was also slowly rotating, emitting an attracting force, covering the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

The covered Red Lotus Karmic Fire, although struggling fiercely, obviously could not resist the power of the array and was slowly pulled to the top of the red lotus in the array and then imprisoned there by the array's power.

Shen Luo breathed a slight sigh of relief, continued to execute his magic spells to drive the Array, and simultaneously opened his mouth to spew out a pure stream of Mana, which merged into the Pure Yang Sword Embryo.

The red crystal glow emanating from the Pure Yang Sword Embryo instantly brightened, and the surrounding red vortex expanded by more than a fold.

With a few light “hiss” sounds, several trails of Red Sword Qi shot out from the vortex, flying upwards like lightning, instantly coiling around one corner of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, and slashed swiftly.

With a light “crisp” sound, a fist-sized amount of Red Lotus Karmic Fire was instantly sliced off and fell down.

Then, those trails of Red Sword Qi continued to entwine around the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, pulling it down into the vortex below.

Shen Luo drove the Array with his right hand, pointed at the Pure Yang Sword Embryo in the void with his left hand, and the red vortex instantly began to whirl around, like a large mouth, intending to swallow the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

The outer Array was also quickly running, with a surge of invisible power added to the red vortex, immediately increasing the devouring power of the vortex.

But the Red Lotus Karmic Fire is a Heavenly Fire, containing a powerful spiritual nature, and it fiercely resisted as soon as it sensed danger.

The reason why the previous Red Sword Qi was able to cut off this portion of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire was all due to the sword qi's swiftness; now to refine it into the Sword Embryo, it could only be done slowly through persistent refinement.

Time passed bit by bit, half an hour went by in a blink of an eye.

At this time, Shen Luo's face was pale, his Mana almost depleted, it was evidently that simultaneously driving the Array and refining the Sword Embryo, was an enormous drain on his Mana.

However, he was prepared for this and took out a Milky White Pill to consume.

This pill, obtained from Hu Yong's Storage Ring, immediately gave rise to a cool sensation in his Dantian upon consumption, and the depleted Mana slowly started to recover.

Yet, that small bundle of Red Lotus Karmic Fire was still suspended in the vortex, not being refined, exhibiting an unbudging demeanor.

“Heavenly Fire is indeed powerful, such a small flame is also resilient.” Shen Luo inwardly sighed, but was not too surprised.

If it were so easily refined, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire wouldn't be considered a Heavenly Fire.

Spirit Fire is nurtured by nature, it's not easy to refine. Hence, the Pure Yang Sword Canon has a well-prepared secondary method which utilizes the power of essence blood, to execute the Blood-Sacrifice Technique, drive the Pure Yang Sword Embryo Array, and refine the Spirit Fire.

However, using this method places a heavy burden on the body, and may even deplete one's essential vitality.

But he had no other choices now. There were not many Milky White Pills left. If he couldn't refine the Pure Yang Sword Embryo before they ran out, all his efforts would be in vain. Even though this method could heavily damage his body, he had to take the risk.

Shen Luo quickly made up his mind, silently operating the method. A flush of blood appeared on his face, and then he bit his tongue, opening his mouth to spit.

A ray of Blood Light shot out like an arrow, merging into the Pure Yang Sword Embryo.

He then bit his finger and continued to recite magic spells, spurting out trails of blue light spells, each of which was tinged with a hint of blood.

With a light “boom” sound, a dazzling layer of Blood Light appeared on the Pure Yang Sword Embryo. Afterward, innumerable bloody runes sprouted like bamboo after a rain, mixing into the vortex.

The vortex's rotation speed immediately increased, issuing a low humming sound, like the low chant of an ancient Demonic God, its power increasing tenfold instantly.

Not only that, the Blood-Sacrifice Technique seemed able to communicate with some powerful existence in the dark. A fierce aura gushed out from the vortex, enveloping the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, and clashed with the spiritual nature contained within the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

This small bundle of Red Lotus Karmic Fire immediately began to roll about, struggling relentlessly. Regardless, under the double attack from the Array vortex and the Blood-Sacrifice Technique, it succumbed eventually after half an hour.
