Salin was horrified. To deal with the Vatican, he had to first cut off his wings. How could Faka not worry about him?
They were cooperating now. Faka righteously wanted to protect the Myers Continent, but the real reason was that he was afraid that all his believers would die, and it would be difficult for him to become a god.
If the few people around him grew up, they would be a great threat to Faka. Faka might really do that.
Before reaching level ten, Faka could definitely kill any target with one blow. Salin was also confident now. In his eyes, level nine powerhouses were full of flaws.
His teacher's words made sense. Salin simply returned to the Floating City and began to study the new knowledge he had obtained. Most importantly, he had to master the usage of the Universe Ring, because there was an endless amount of Thunder Water stored in one of the spaces within the Universe Ring, and within the Thunder Water floated an unknown number of lightning balls.
Salin could not use the power of the Thunder Water, but if he could use the balls of lightning inside, Salin estimated that his combat power would surpass his teacher.
As a mage, he might not regard combat power as his life goal, but a mage without power could not survive in this era.
At the beginning of December, after less than three months of study, Salin finally mastered a new language and the meaning of the eight symbols.
Although these were important, what was more important was that Salin could finally master the skill that Jason had shown him, and he was putting it into practice.
Three broken jades floated around Salin. For more than two months, the artifact spirit in the broken jades that had been torn apart suffered indescribable pain and damage. However, Salin sent in some giant bone crystals from time to time to replenish this artifact spirit's vitality.
This artifact spirit was really begging for death. Salin ignored its cries and only learned skills every day. On this day, Salin took out the broken jades. Although the artifact spirit in the broken jades was split into three parts, it could still cry out loudly.
"Mage, spare me. I'm willing to surrender!"
"Don't try to lie to me. It's not good," Salin said as he took out three refined Coiled Turtle Shells and sent them into the broken jades.
"Eat it obediently and I'll let you go. Otherwise, I'll give you a meal every month like this. You won't even be able to die." Salin hated this artifact spirit for eating the artifact spirit of his lightning star, so he was very vicious.
"Impossible!" Seeing that Salin had thrown something in to control it, the artifact spirit immediately turned hostile. He stopped praying and only cursed Salin loudly.
"I have something important to do, something big. If you don't want to, the next time I let you go will be three years later. You have to think this through. This time, you have suffered for less than three months. How are you going to endure for three years? If I die, I'll have my students send you a bone crystal every month so that you won't die so easily. "
The artifact spirit was speechless. After a long time, he endured the pain and asked, "Why, why are you treating me like this?"
"I like it," Salin replied indifferently.
"You won't have a good ending like this!" The artifact spirit cursed, but it soon realized that the power of its curse could not penetrate the thing that trapped it.
"You're the one who won't have a good ending. Looks like I'll have to do it myself. Although this will lower your level and power, I have time to wait." As Salin spoke, he began to recite a complicated incantation. As he recited the incantation, the runes on the three pieces of turtle shell in the broken jade shone with black light.
The split artifact spirit was enveloped by the light on the turtle shell. Instantly, it no longer felt unbearable pain. Instead, it felt very comfortable.
"No!"
"I said yes." Salin laughed loudly.
As he laughed, he followed the technique his teacher had taught him and completely divided the artifact spirit. The runes were like saws, and the artifact spirit was like a log.
Originally, the three pieces of broken jade could not completely sever the connection between the artifact spirit. As the light from the runes seeped into the artifact spirit's body, the connection between the three parts of the artifact spirit gradually disappeared.
Under the nourishment of the black light, the artifact spirit, which had been tortured beyond recognition, began to absorb the magical medicine that Salin had thrown in. This magical medicine was an ingredient for repairing artifact spirits. It was something unique to Salin. The Creation Essence Liquid, Six Elemental Heavy Water, and the solution of the giant's crystallized bones.
The artifact spirit was split into three parts, but its consciousness was erased by the black light released by the turtle shell that Salin had thrown into the broken jade. Then, the turtle shell automatically entered the newly growing artifact spirit and slowly disintegrated.
On the disintegrated turtle shell, thousands of runes flashed and gradually fused with the artifact spirit. The artifact spirit of Sky City slowly grew from one to three, growing in different pieces of broken jade.
Salin took out a piece of broken jade to refine. In his eyes, the lightning runes had already become 360 million. These 360 million lightning runes flew into the broken jade and engraved themselves on the unconscious artifact spirit before flying back into Salin's eyes.
After being nourished by Salin's magical medicine, a pair of black eyes appeared on the artifact spirit's head. His eyes, which were originally tightly shut, opened and flickered.
"Alright, go!" Salin released the Lightning Star and threw the broken jade into it. He began to smelt it with water flame alchemy. Originally, water flame alchemy was difficult to deal with broken jade, but this time, the broken jade showed no signs of resistance. Even its shape changed according to the water flame's refinement.
The Lightning Star spread out once again. Salin released eight balls of lightning, which traveled through the space of the Lightning Star. The remaining lightning puppets were smashed one by one, turning into the simplest of mechanical parts.
Electric currents flickered on every mechanical part.
Within the broken jade, the artifact spirit suddenly expanded and transformed into a hundred-meter-tall giant. It stood in the center of the Lightning Star, surrounded by stars. One lightning puppet after another was smashed and reformed, over and over again. This time, Salin's lightning ball did not dissipate at all. Instead, it shuttled back and forth among the lightning stars like eight tiny stars.
Salin was delighted to see that his refinement method had succeeded on the first try. This ball of lightning had many names in the secret art. The one Salin had refined was only used to refine and equip. Once refined, it would not dissipate, but relying on it to kill enemies was even slower than the original ball of lightning.
This thing was one with the Lightning Star. As long as the Lightning Star was not destroyed, the eight black and white balls of lightning would not be destroyed either. But this thing had its benefits. When Salin refined, if he could not deal with the artifact spirit, he only needed to let these eight balls of lightning enter the equipment to kill it.
Salin had been frightened by the giant artifact spirit. He was afraid that he would encounter a similar situation in the future. The gains would not make up for the losses.
As the eight balls of lightning destroyed the lightning puppets, they gradually perfected themselves, becoming the first secret art equipment that Salin had personally refined — the Lightning Refining Bead.
The excitement in Salin's heart could not be described with words. Not only had the Lightning Star begun to recover its vitality, but more importantly, he had seen the true face of the world from the Lightning Refining Bead.
The Lightning Refining Bead was not in a truly stable state. Instead, it had been destroyed the moment it was created. All of its energy had been annihilated. And after annihilation, the Lightning Refining Bead was born from the void.
This process of life and death was only a millionth of a second. Salin could only sense it because his soul and the Lightning Refining Bead were one. Every time the Lightning Refining Bead was born and destroyed, he could feel the essence of the world and the transformation of all things.
From then on, Salin's path of cultivation had no more twists and turns. An endless road appeared in front of him.
Understanding the origin of the world did not mean that one could reach the end of the world. The other person in the crystal sphere could only give people the same lifespan as this universe. When this universe was destroyed, even the supreme existence would die.
There were many ways to survive to the next era, but no one had personally tested them. If Salin wanted to live forever, he could only walk forward alone.
Those who knew about these methods knew about them. Those who did not, even if Salin wrote them down, would not be able to understand them.
The Lightning Domain and the Lightning Star had completely fused. Within Salin's domain, the eight Lightning Refining Beads revolved and floated around him. Although they could not be used to attack, they could be used for self-defense.
This time, Salin's domain was extremely stable. His body was surrounded by the water elemental domain, which clung tightly to his body like a shirt. Outside the water elemental domain was the Lightning Domain. In the center of the Lightning Domain, a star floated. Below the star was the artifact spirit, holding a huge war hammer and covered in armor that crackled with electricity.
This artifact spirit was using the huge war hammer to strike all the broken pieces of the Lightning Puppets, forging them into Lightning Warriors. This artifact spirit's war hammer had thousands of runes that Salin had inscribed on its shell.
The war hammer struck these broken pieces, and under the forging of the war hammer, these broken pieces of the Lightning Puppets became the Lightning Star artifact spirit's warriors. As long as the Lightning Star artifact spirit did not die, these warriors could be resurrected in Salin's domain.
The Lightning Domain's radius of control had increased to eighty miles. Generally speaking, such a huge domain could only be possessed by a professional who was about to break through Level 12 and reach Level 13.
Salin looked at the other two jade fragments. He put one of them away and fused the other into the floating city. The floating city did not have an artifact spirit. At most, it would operate a little slower, so Salin first evolved his domain instead of refining the floating city.
The floating city could completely rely on its own power to evolve. Salin's Water Flame Alchemy was no longer of much help.
Feeling that there were no problems with his domain, Salin returned to Metatlin's temple from the floating city.
