Chapter 361 — Forging

Finally, a few minutes later, she arrived at her destination.

It was a giant underground cave covered in crimson flames.

Liora had almost reached the center of the world, and as such, the temperature was already high. Even Lesser Devils would have trouble staying at this place for long.

However, compared to the temperature of the crimson flames, this temperature was nothing.

Let alone Lesser Devils, even True Devils would turn into nothing upon coming into contact with the red flames, as if it were their natural enemy.

Only Greater Devils could survive in this cave, and to do so for a long period of time required having extraordinary strength.

Fortunately, the flames were not strong enough to hurt Liora.

Her demonic energy swirled on its own and formed a layer of defense around her, expelling the crimson flames.

Then, she ignored them and dove deeper into the sea of flames.

Before long, she stopped in front of a translucent light.

This was the only thing that existed here besides the flames, and it flickered violently, as if to showcase its existence.

As Liora approached it, the light trembled, as if celebrating her arrival.

Liora ignored its antics.

Her consciousness swept past it, and she investigated its current state.

"It’s already much stronger than an ordinary Demon Sovereign Weapon. Even the Demon God’s sword is not any better."

"Of course, this is to be expected."

"I’ve consumed pretty much every Demon Weapon and precious material that this world has."

"After my plunder, this world has been completely exhausted of its resources.", she whispered, though she felt that everything was worth it.

Sensing that the weapon was extremely close to reaching its final stage, Liora knew that it was about time.

A silver umbrella materialized in her hand.

Perhaps sensing its future fate, this Demon Weapon shook violently and tried to break free.

Unfortunately, Liora’s hand clasped its handle tightly.

"A weapon with a consciousness of its own is not what I seek."

"No matter how obedient you may appear at the moment, there’s always a chance that you will betray me.", Liora muttered, and her plain yet cold words terrified the umbrella.

Its struggle grew even more intense, and it wished to transform into a silver dragon and escape.

Unfortunately, Liora was not planning to let it do as it wished.

Her hand clasped its handle even tighter, causing giant fractures along its surface before she tossed it towards the translucent light.

The sea of flames surged.

The crimson flames pounced forward like beasts and wrapped around the umbrella, trying to obliterate this weapon.

Their progress was very slow at first. However, after Liora’s demonic energy poured into the sea, their power surged.

The umbrella began to melt under the terrifying temperature, and only a few minutes later, it let out its final, deafening cry.

A wailing sound spread throughout the sea of flames.

It was full of resentment and hatred, cursing at Liora for her ruthlessness and "betrayal".

However, Liora remained calm.

She let the melted umbrella pour into the translucent light, guiding the latter to devour it.

It didn’t take long.

With her help, the light soon swallowed the umbrella’s remains and improved its quality even further.

As if it had reached its final stage, it began to take form.

If any Divine Race member were here, they would immediately understand what was going on.

The light had reached the final stage of forging.

Unless something went wrong, a Demon Weapon would soon be born!

And, judging from its current strength and the many materials that had been used during its creation process, the forged Demon Weapon was bound to be terrifying!

Liora sensed that this weapon had a high chance of surpassing the Greater Devil stage.

However, despite this realization, her eyes showed no emotional fluctuations.

Such a powerful weapon might have helped her when she first descended to this world.

But having become a Greater Devil and reached the third substage of that stage, Liora no longer needed it.

At most, it would slightly enhance her own combat power.

However, could Liora have spent so many years and so many materials just to barely enhance her combat power?

This was obviously impossible!

Seeing that the Demon Weapon was about to be completed, the Time Clock appeared in Liora’s hand.

Time around her blurred, as if she had reached the shore along the long River of Time, immovable and unaffected by the waves of time.

Glancing at this precious treasure that would make even Archdevils drool with greed, Liora’s face shone with determination.

Without any hesitation, she threw it towards the translucent light and allowed the latter to devour it.

At the same time, a crimson light flickered along her forehead.

Her Manifestation emerged, stronger than ever before.

Although the saber looked like an object, Liora understood that it was, in fact, not.

Her Manifestation was part of her own soul, and the two were deeply interconnected.

If her Manifestation were to be destroyed, she would also suffer great harm.

Despite this, Liora made a shocking decision.

Following the Time Clock, she tossed her Manifestation towards the translucent light.

The crimson flames around her surged even further.

They wrapped around these two extraordinary items and began doing their best to melt them.

Liora’s face grew pale. A soul-tearing pain assaulted her senses, while her vision became increasingly blurry.

Still, her movements didn’t pause for even half a second.

She ignored the pain of having her soul melt and controlled the crimson flames to burn the Time Clock and her Manifestation.

The process was long and painful, requiring not only great focus but supreme determination.

Yet, Liora did not flinch for once during this time.

A few hours later, the melted remains flowed towards the light. After it absorbed them, its brilliance became even more apparent.

Its outline was reflected on Liora’s bloodless face before a faint clicking sound echoed.

The next moment, the light retreated.

The final forging stage had been completed!

A bizarre Demon Weapon, created through consuming countless Demon Weapons, materials, and corpses, as well as Liora’s own Manifestation and the precious Time Clock, had been created!

The moment the weapon was unveiled, the sky above the Blood Devil Sect cracked. A terrifying aura spread throughout the world, making the old people remember that unfortunate day many years ago.
