Moreover, and most importantly, the mental pollution caused by the Crimson Sword had no effect on Lu Ning, and the side effects were almost negligible due to the Crimson Sword's flexibility and his immortality.
This is almost equivalent to Lu Ning possessing power exceeding that of an ordinary high-level demigod without any effort on his part!
The only problem is that it does consume a lot of mental energy.
Based on his current energy expenditure, he can only last for a maximum of one hour before his mental energy is completely depleted.
As for the Crimson Sword's abilities, its most important function remains to significantly enhance his physical strength.
In addition, it also has the same ability as before: to split the sword into tentacles to absorb the enemy's flesh and blood.
Moreover, because the Crimson Sword is more alive than before, the combat power of the split tentacles will be greatly enhanced.
As for the flesh and blood absorbed by the tentacles, they can be used to feed back to Lu Ning, accelerating the enhancement of his physical strength.
Finally, after using the Crimson Sword, Lu Ning's flesh-based abilities will be greatly enhanced.
This is also good news for Lu Ning, since he had previously absorbed the divine power of the Source of Flesh and Blood and mastered certain flesh and blood divine arts.
These divine spells are all within the range of enhancement.
Lu Ning wasn't sure exactly how much it would be enhanced, but as a divine artifact, the enhancement should be significant.
After gaining a general understanding of the power of the Crimson Sword, Lu Ning put it away.
Perhaps it's because the Crimson Sword isn't as strong as the Frost Necklace, or perhaps it's because the Crimson Sword originally had a template, and it's a particularly dangerous soul weapon.
Lu Ning only spent a little over 600,000 pale crystals to upgrade the Crimson Sword to a divine artifact.
Therefore, Lu Ning still has more than 2.5 million Pale Crystals left.
That's enough to make two more divine artifacts!
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ning finally decided to upgrade the bone pocket watch.
After all, this Horcrux involving time is too powerful.
Especially when fighting alongside others.
The time-binding ability of the bone pocket watch played a huge role when closing the barrier cracks.
Once the bone pocket watch is upgraded to the artifact level, even if it can't work on evil gods, it should be able to have some effect on demigods who have just used the artifact, right?
With his crimson sword, he had the confidence to face even demigods wielding divine artifacts.
Even if he's not up to par, what about Yan Bing, who wields the divine artifact?
In this way, the human side now has two beings who possess divine artifacts, equivalent to demigods.
This will greatly help in future cooperation and in gaining a stronger voice in the discussion.
With this in mind, Lu Ning did not hesitate. He took out the bone pocket watch, once again activated the power of the Tower of Return to Nothingness, and began to improve the quality of the soul weapon.
The Bone Pocket Watch is significantly more powerful than the Crimson Sword at the same level.
Even when it transforms into a divine artifact, this is still the case.
Lu Ning spent a full 1.2 million Pale Crystals to transform the bone pocket watch into a divine artifact.
The transformed bone pocket watch doesn't seem to have changed much in appearance, except that the bones of the watch's outer shell look paler and more translucent than before.
It looks like white jade.
Apart from that, nothing has changed.
As for the improvement of the bone pocket watch's abilities, since there was no target, Lu Ning was unsure how much the time-binding ability had improved.
The only thing that surprised him was that the bone pocket watch could enhance his divine power of time.
Lu Ning had previously absorbed the mental pollution source of the disordered time worm and mastered the divine power of time.
However, Lu Ning's mastery of time-based power is only considered strong relative to his own level of cultivation, while Lu Ning's opponents are no longer at his own level.
Therefore, time-based powers can only affect the user at most.
But things are different now.
The bone pocket watch greatly enhanced Lu Ning's divine power related to time.
Lu Ning already possesses Saint-level mental power, and his time-based power has naturally reached Saint-level as well, because it contains the divinity of the disordered time worm, which is roughly equivalent to a high-level Saint.
However, if this time-based artifact is added, Lu Ning's own time-based power will be enough to affect a demigod!
This is only Lu Ning's own time-based power. If he were to use his own time-based power to activate the bone pocket watch, the upper limit of time binding would become extremely high!
Of course, once the bone pocket watch is upgraded to a divine artifact, the mental energy required to activate it also increases significantly.
With Lu Ning's current mental strength, he can only use it about thirty times.
In addition, the Bone Pocket Watch is somewhat different from the Scarlet Sword, and has significant side effects.
After using it once, Lu Ning's own existence was directly washed away by the river of time.
This will cause Lu Ning to be stuck in the time dimension, and it will take about ten seconds before he can get out of the time dimension.
These two shortcomings mean that bone pocket watches can only be used in the most critical moments.
But something is better than nothing.
Lu Ning hesitated for a moment before deciding not to use the remaining 1.3 million or so Pale Crystals.
Perhaps other guardians need similar artifacts?
As for Lu Ning himself, the Crimson Sword and the Bone Pocket Watch are already enough for him.
Lu Ning put away all three divine artifacts and then stepped out of the Tower of Return to Nothingness.
Yan Bing, who had been waiting outside, walked over when Lu Ning came out.
"How is the situation?" Even with Yan Bing's personality, he was a little nervous at this moment.
