Chapter 88: The great divine artifact, eternal pagoda!
Electrolux's eyes were tightly shut, his entire being immersed in a deep resonance with the eternal pagoda.
He held the milky-white energy sphere containing terrifying power in his virtual grasp. The ancient incantations he chanted grew increasingly rapid and sonorous, each syllable causing the surrounding laws to tremble faintly.
The staff constructed of bone and soul crystal hovered before him. The massive soul crystal at its apex now radiated an unprecedented brilliance, like a miniature star, shining in concert with the eternal pagoda.
As the incantation progressed, the milky-white energy sphere grew restless. Ripples shimmered across its surface, like celestial nectar stirred by an invisible hand.
Pure Life Origin energy transformed into condensed streams of light, converging like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, continuously drawn into the nine-story pagoda.
"Huummm—!"
The eternal pagoda emitted a low, pleased hum. Under the torrential wash and nourishment of the vast energy, the pagoda's originally somewhat plain bone and crystal structures began to glow with a restrained yet profound luster.
Profound runes, previously only faintly visible, now ignited one by one like kindled stars. They interconnected, forming more complex and perfected arrays of law.
The pagoda seemed to breathe, its light brightening and dimming as it inhaled and exhaled the energies between heaven and earth. The oppressive aura it radiated climbed steadily at a perceptible pace.
A grave focus settled on Electrolux's aged face. He guided the immense energy with utmost care, not through crude infusion, but like a master craftsman, using the energy as his hammer and the laws as his anvil, meticulously tempering and sublimating the eternal pagoda from the inside out.
The spatial structure within the pagoda expanded and reinforced itself; the Soul Laws and Annihilation Intent it carried grew denser and more powerful.
Time flowed silently by in the focused refinement. Several hours passed in the blink of an eye.
When the milky-white sphere had shrunk to the size of a fist, and the last wisp of pure energy, like a gentle stream, reluctantly vanished into the pagoda's foundation—
"Clang!"
A clear, resonant sound, as if from the primordial chaos of antiquity or spanning endless time and space, erupted from the very core of the eternal pagoda!
The entire nine-story pagoda suddenly blazed with light—no longer the previous milky or gray-white, but an indescribable, chaotic hue that seemed to contain the cycle of life and death, the annihilation of the universe!
Upon the pagoda's body, all the ignited runes instantly connected into a complete, flowing network of light imbued with divine charm. An oppressive aura, several times more powerful than before, exploded outwards, causing the surrounding space to warp and ripple subtly.
The eternal pagoda's aura, having climbed to a brand new peak, stabilized and settled, its divine light now internalized, its form solemn and majestic.
Now, it had been utterly reborn. Judging by its energy level and the completeness of its laws, it had unmistakably stepped into the higher realm of "great divine artifacts"!
It must be known that in his prime, Electrolux was a top-tier alchemical master capable of forging great divine artifacts approaching the level of Super Divine Artifacts.
From its conception, material selection, to its initial forging, the eternal pagoda had always aimed for the standard of a great divine artifact. It was only due to previous limitations of time and resources, and a slightly insufficient foundation, that it had stalled at the peak of divine artifacts.
Now, with this vast energy serving as the most direct "nourishment," elevating it to the true rank of a great divine artifact was a natural and seamless progression.
Possessing a great divine artifact grants a tremendous boost to a divine-level powerhouse's strength, for great divine artifacts are the primary weapons of First-Rank Deities!
For example, the Angel Sword of the God of Angels is also a great divine artifact of boundless power.
Now, with Electrolux at the Second-Tier God rank wielding a complete great divine artifact, his overall combat prowess among Second-Tier Gods is absolutely top-tier, enough to make any opponent of the same rank view him as a formidable challenge.
Lei Chen had been standing quietly to the side, silently observing the entire process. Seeing the eternal pagoda's successful ascension, a look of sincere admiration flashed in his eyes. He stepped forward with a smile and spoke:
"Congratulations, Electrolux. With the eternal pagoda's promotion to a great divine artifact, you are truly like a tiger that has grown wings."
Electrolux slowly opened his eyes. The brilliant divine light in his gaze, brought on by the artifact's ascension, gradually faded, returning to its usual depth and calm.
He stroked the eternal pagoda beside him, its aura now completely transformed, feeling the powerful, blood-connected force emanating from within. A trace of contentment also appeared on his face. Hearing Lei Chen's congratulations, he bowed slightly with humility:
"You flatter me, Plane Master. The success of this pagoda relies entirely on the vast energy you bestowed. Otherwise, relying solely on my own accumulation, crossing this threshold would have taken me at least several decades, if not a century."
Lei Chen waved his hand dismissively, laughing. "Between us, no need for formalities. Energy is an inert thing. The ability to utilize it perfectly and transform it into immediate combat strength is your own skill."
Here, his tone shifted, his expression turning solemn. "Since the divine artifact is complete, and opportunity waits for no one, let us depart immediately."
Hearing this, Electrolux's spirits lifted. Holding the now light-internalized eternal pagoda, a powerful surge of confidence and heroic spirit welled up within him.
He nodded gravely, his voice steady and firm. "Electrolux is willing to follow the Plane Master, to crush the invading enemy and proclaim the might of our world!"
"Good!"
The two exchanged a glance and spoke no more. In the next instant, their figures simultaneously blurred, transforming into streams of light—one multicolored, one white—that traversed tens of thousands of miles in a flash, appearing atop the towering, world-dividing Plane Mountains, the very core boundary where the two Planes collided and merged.
Lei Chen's gaze swept over the Douluo Allied Forces below, still on high alert but with soaring morale. His grand voice echoed across the defensive line: "Maintain strict vigilance here, guard against any counterattack from the Abyss! This Lord and the Necromancer Saint God shall personally campaign into the Abyss!"
Before his words had fully faded, and before the thunderous response from below could rise, Lei Chen and Electrolux had already transformed into two streaks of light. Without the slightest hesitation, they tore through the invisible membrane of chaotic energy ahead and fearlessly charged into that dark crimson, deathly silent Abyss territory, filled with an aura of destruction and chaos!
At the very moment their figures vanished into the barrier of the Abyss Plane—
Deep within the Abyss territory, the Tian Shen, who had been fully focused on guarding the Spirit Emperor, Fierce Emperor, and Demon Emperor as they absorbed energy, suddenly had his expression change drastically!
As the Lord of the Abyss Plane, his perception of the entire Plane was acutely sensitive. The undisguised intrusion of two divine-level powerhouses was like two massive boulders dropped into a calm lake!
"They... they actually came! So quickly!" The Saint Lord's heart sank to the depths. The slight relaxation he had felt during the few hours of inactivity from Lei Chen was instantly replaced by a massive sense of crisis.
