Lu Ning took a deep breath, his eyes flashing as he stared intently at the pale light before him.
When the pale light completely dissipated, the artifact's true form was finally revealed.
It was a necklace made of ice crystals.
The pendant of the necklace is an ice-blue pupil sculpture that occasionally flashes with an eerie light.
As soon as the pendant appeared, Lu Ning felt the surrounding temperature drop instantly, falling to tens of degrees below zero.
Of course, such low temperatures only made Lu Ning feel a little cool.
He took a deep breath and grabbed the necklace.
A chill suddenly emanated from the necklace, causing Lu Ning's palm to go slightly numb.
Lu Ning put the necklace away expressionlessly.
Then his eyes flickered, revealing a thoughtful expression.
Manifesting a divine artifact required slightly less pale crystal than he had imagined.
Lu Ning still has over three million Pale Crystals in his possession.
This is enough to manifest two more divine artifacts.
or……
Lu Ning seemed to be deep in thought, then took out the Crimson Sword.
The crimson sword hummed, and a somewhat obsequious voice echoed in Lu Ning's mind: "Great master... I felt your great power... a power that fills your humble servant with awe..."
Lu Ning ignored the Crimson Sword's endless flattery.
He calmly said, "Help me upgrade this sword to the divine weapon level."
As soon as Lu Ning finished speaking, streaks of pale light flowed and merged into the crimson sword.
The Crimson Sword's flattery instantly turned into a scream.
"Oh, great master! Praise be to you..."
"Shut up." Lu Ning frowned, and the Crimson Sword's voice abruptly stopped.
Lu Ning had his own reasons for choosing the Crimson Sword.
Because of all his extremely dangerous-grade soul weapons, the Crimson Sword has the most peculiar conditions for use.
The Crimson Sword can maintain its power by absorbing the flesh and blood of other individuals.
If the Crimson Sword can retain this characteristic when upgraded to a divine artifact, that would be excellent news for Lu Ning.
After all, divine artifacts are a type of soul artifact, and once used, they will inevitably consume a great deal of spiritual energy.
When Lu Ning was at the ninth rank, even when using a dangerous-grade soul weapon, his mental strength could only last for a few hours.
Although he has now been promoted to the Saint level, divine artifacts and extremely dangerous soul artifacts are two different concepts.
He wasn't sure if he could use the artifact properly.
Therefore, the Crimson Sword, a soul weapon with relatively low energy consumption, was Lu Ning's first choice.
Of course, another reason is that the Crimson Sword itself is a flesh-and-blood type soul weapon.
Lu Ning's combat strength lies mostly in his physical body.
Although he possessed the divine power of other evil gods, compared to his powerful physique enhanced by the physical tempering method and his ultimate soul-revitalizing power, combined with the divine power of the flesh and blood source, his physical combat strength far surpassed that of the others.
Therefore, the Crimson Sword is naturally the best choice.
The crimson sword trembled and vibrated under the pale light.
As the pale light merged in, the crimson sword began to change continuously.
Both the hilt and the blade appear to be crystallizing.
It transformed from its original fleshy texture into a unique texture resembling a ruby.
The ruby undulated slightly, as if it were breathing.
This made the Crimson Sword seem to come alive.
As time goes by, the ruby becomes more and more lustrous and translucent.
The mental fluctuations emanating from the Crimson Sword were becoming increasingly terrifying.
The divine runes within flowed and extended, causing a qualitative change in the flesh and blood power represented by the Crimson Sword.
When the light faded, the Crimson Sword had completely transformed into a greatsword formed from crystal-clear rubies.
She looks so much better than before.
Lu Ning reached out and grasped the sword hilt, the crimson sword's still lewd voice echoing in his mind: "Oh~ Great master! Your power makes the sword tremble!!"
"Shut up."
The sound of the Crimson Sword abruptly ceased once again.
Lu Ning toyed with the Crimson Sword for a moment, then began to channel his spiritual energy into it.
The next moment, Lu Ning clearly felt his flesh and blood being absorbed, but the absorption rate was much slower than when he was at the extremely dangerous level.
Lu Ning raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
Just then, the voice of the Crimson Sword rang out: "Great Master... Your humble servant believes that absorbing too much of your flesh and blood at once is detrimental to your combat ability. Therefore, your humble servant has taken it upon himself to absorb your flesh and blood little by little. In this way, your humble servant cannot bring you a huge boost all at once, but as time goes by, your humble servant will absorb more and more flesh and blood, and the bonus will become greater and greater. Of course, if your great master has his own ideas, please feel free to speak with your humble servant."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ning raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
Divine artifacts are indeed completely different from soul artifacts.
Is the Crimson Sword itself almost alive, and can even regulate its side effects?
Although the side effects remain largely unchanged, the Crimson Sword can now be used to flexibly extend the duration of attacks.
Lu Ning had prepared himself to be drained dry, but he didn't expect the Crimson Sword to achieve its activation by prolonging the time of the flesh sacrifice and slowly increasing its power.
This is much more flexible and adaptable than the previous extremely dangerous level.
Lu Ning calmly said, "The absorption speed has doubled. It mainly focuses on absorbing internal organs."
"Understood, great master!"
Instantly, Lu Ning's internal organs and flesh were absorbed at an extremely rapid speed, disappearing almost completely in an instant.
Lu Ning clearly felt that the power boost from the Crimson Sword was much greater.
As his internal organs were sacrificed, Lu Ning's internal organs were restored in a very short time.
As soon as it recovered, the Crimson Sword absorbed the internal organs and flesh again.
This cycle repeats itself, and with each absorption, the power brought by the Crimson Sword grows stronger and stronger.
It even far exceeded the previous limit of the bonus from extremely dangerous soul artifacts.
Originally, when Lu Ning advanced to the Saint level, his physical body underwent another great improvement under the influence of the spiritual tide, reaching the level of a high-level Saint.
Now, with the enhancement of the Crimson Sword, Lu Ning's physical strength has naturally reached the level of a low-level demigod, even surpassing that of when he used the extremely dangerous soul weapon at full power.
And this enhancement of physical strength has not stopped.
As time passed, with each absorption and amplification, Lu Ning's physical strength increased at an incredible speed.
Mid-level demigod, high-level demigod...
Even after reaching the level of a high-level demigod, he still hasn't stopped!
The enhancement from the Crimson Sword only stopped when Lu Ning was no longer even sure how strong his physical body was.
At that moment, Lu Ning felt that he could sink an entire continent with a single, casual strike.
This exaggerated feeling was hard for Lu Ning to believe.
Is this the boost that the artifact brings?
Even though Lu Ning had only just reached the Saint level, he was able to achieve such exaggerated strength simply by using the Crimson Sword.
