"Whoosh!"
The Dragon Soul of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon followed the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend and entered Mu Jinyu's body.
"Huff... Huff..."
After the two dragons disappeared, Mu Jinyu took a deep breath, immediately carving additional layers of constraints on the Jade Bottle to prevent the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend from escaping and causing a disaster.
After spending more than ten minutes, Mu Jinyu engraved almost all the restrictions he knew onto the Jade Bottle before putting it away, feeling a wave of fear!
"Out of control again!"
Mu Jinyu lamented with a wry smile.
Originally, when he was on the cliff outside the valley, he used the Dragon Resentment Evil Poison to transform into Nine Dragons Locking Phoenix, successfully resolving the crisis, and eventually suppressed the Dragon Resentment Evil Poison with the Dragon Soul.
At that time, he thought he could smoothly control the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend, gaining another deadly weapon!
But unexpectedly, taking out the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend again almost led to loss of control.
This made Mu Jinyu realize that the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend was still beyond his control and could only serve as a last resort for survival.
"What was that just now?"
As Mu Jinyu put away the Jade Bottle and stopped being busy, Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan, who were always worried about his condition, both spoke up to ask.
Mu Jinyu explained, "It was when I was at Yinlong Mountain, completing the ninth Dragon Vein and pulling out the resentment formed from severed Dragon Veins. I didn't expect it to become even stranger after devouring the Phoenix Resentment, almost out of control."
"That's formed from Dragon Vein resentment?"
Zhuo Yue, upon hearing Mu Jinyu's explanation, was astonished, "I thought it was an Evil Dragon. Isn't this too incredible? It's almost forming a physical entity."
"Hmm, better not use it recklessly in the future." Mu Jinyu nodded.
Indeed, as Zhuo Yue said, originally the Dragon Resentment Evil Poison had no physical form, like a mass of black liquid that changes constantly. During the confrontation with the Fallen Demon Phoenix, it transformed into nine Evil Dragons to fight the Demon Phoenix, absorbing the resentful energy within it.
But now this Dragon Resentment Evil Poison was almost becoming a solid entity, having consumed ninety percent of the Demon God Tower, followed by the growth of bone spurs, presumably becoming even more terrifying.
If given the opportunity, it might truly become an Evil Dragon!
Mu Jinyu thought, unless absolutely necessary, he must never use this thing again.
After a few discussions about the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend, the group reminded Mu Jinyu a few times but did not continue the topic, then looked at the Demon God Tower, which fell on the ground, leaving only the last layer of the Bone Tower base!
"Ah, what a pity, the original Demon God Tower was a Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, but in a great battle almost got shattered, leaving its Artifact Spirit incomplete, nearly falling out of the Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure rank, and now has been devoured by resentment, only the base remains..."
Zhuo Yue, looking at the Bone Tower base, couldn't help but sigh with regret.
Within the Kunlun Ruins, Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures that develop Artifact Spirits are very rare, and witnessing one being devoured is truly displeasing.
Mu Jinyu said, "Though it is heavily damaged, it's still fragments of a Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, not to mention the base is truly the foundation of the Pagoda, not inferior to the Skull and Black gemstone atop it. Perhaps there's still something good inside."
Saying so, Mu Jinyu waved his hand, intending to summon the Demon God Tower's base.
Unexpectedly, the heavily damaged Demon God Tower didn't move at all.
It lay quietly on the ground, its dim bone light flickering occasionally.
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu and Zhuo Yue were pleased rather than surprised.
If the base could be effortlessly summoned by Mu Jinyu, it would suggest it had become worthless.
But since it resisted summoning, it indicated that the Dao Rhyme Divine Principles still remained within, retaining significant value.
Faced with this, Mu Jinyu stepped forward, squatting down next to the base and picking it up.
"Buzz!"
Once Mu Jinyu lifted the base, it radiated a penetrating bone light, trying to envelop him.
But now it was only a single layer of the base, lacking the terrifying power it once had when sweeping the Bi Fang Cauldron aside outside the Cursed Soul Forest.
With a casual wave, Mu Jinyu scattered the bone light.
"Buzz!"
The base of the Demon God Tower trembled slightly, then tried shaking free from Mu Jinyu's grip, attempting to flee.
"It can still counterattack and move on its own. Does it retain a part of its Artifact Spirit?"
Mu Jinyu, witnessing this, couldn't help but smile joyfully. Pinching a spell in his hand, he called forth the Bi Fang Cauldron, which opened its lid with a clatter, capturing the Demon God Tower base inside.
After that, Mu Jinyu sat cross-legged on the spot, pressing his hand against the Bi Fang Cauldron, activating the Bi Fang Flame to refine the Demon Pagoda's base.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Clang clang clang!!"
Inside the Bi Fang Cauldron, the temperature rose sharply, forcing the Demon Pagoda's base to struggle fiercely.
But the Bi Fang Cauldron was an intact Top-Quality Spiritual Treasure, whereas the Demon God Tower was merely a damaged Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure. Added to Mu Jinyu's assistance, it was impossible for it to escape the seal.
After several days, the clanging noises within the Bi Fang Cauldron finally faded, leaving it silent.
Under Mu Jinyu's Divine Sense observation, the Bi Fang Cauldron now contained a pool of cold white Bone Liquid, emitting a chilling evil aura.
And a peculiarly distorted illusion hovering above it, neither human nor object.
Mu Jinyu guessed that the illusion was likely the remaining Artifact Spirit of the Demon God Tower's base.
Hence, without hesitation, Mu Jinyu refined the skeleton into a Bone Pill and expelled the unsettling liquid from the Bi Fang Cauldron, reserving the illusion for further refinement.
"Caw!"
After a few more days, the illusion was integrated into the Bi Fang Cauldron, followed by the sound of a bird's cry.
A fiery red bird, resembling a Phoenix in its beautiful plumage, stood atop the Bi Fang Cauldron.
Startling the Little Phoenix, thinking it saw its kin.
But soon its expression relaxed again.
Because the bird, though resembling a Phoenix, had only one foot.
This was not a Phoenix but a Bi Fang.
Though the Bi Fang had just one foot standing on the Bi Fang Cauldron, it emitted endless Divine Charm, not seeming strange or malformed at all.
"This is... an Artifact Spirit..."
Zhuo Yue was thrilled upon seeing this, "Am I witnessing the birth of a Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure?"
The Bi Fang Cauldron was originally a Top-Quality Spiritual Treasure, very close to becoming a Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure. Refining the remaining Artifact Spirit from the Demon God Tower to form a Bi Fang Spirit seemed logical.
Unfortunately, barely after Zhuo Yue exclaimed, the Bi Fang illusion on the Bi Fang Cauldron glowed intensely, transforming into flames, sinking back into the Bi Fang Cauldron.
"What a pity..."
Mu Jinyu opened his eyes, his gaze tired and disappointed as he spoke.
