Chapter 479: Insight on Core Formation (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets!!)
PS: In the previous chapter, the name of the Sword of Ruin was mentioned; friends can look back to see.
——————————————
As the voice fell, the spiritual treasure in hand remained ordinary in appearance, quietly unmoving and unresponsive.
Liu Yu knew this was because he had not gained its recognition.
Tang Tianbao had a natural causal connection with this sword, allowing him to easily be recognized by the spiritual treasure even at the foundation establishment stage.
However, he did not have that kind of opportunity.
Even if Tang Tianbao personally handed the sword to him, gaining the "sword spirit's" recognition and acknowledgment remained a distant prospect.
"However, I have the spiritual treasure in hand; this matter can be deliberated over time."
"Feelings can be cultivated slowly!"
Liu Yu smiled slightly.
Regardless of whether the sword agreed or not, he decided to rename it to the Sword of Ruin.
Thinking this, he moved his mind and tried to store the Sword of Ruin into his storage bag.
But after a long time, the sword remained motionless, quietly lying in his hand.
Liu Yu finally understood why Zhou Ziwen and Tang Tianbao both held the sword in hand rather than storing it in their storage bags.
Due to the special nature of spiritual treasures, they exist in a limbo between life and death, being both lifeless and not lifeless.
If the artifact spirit resisted, it could not be forcefully stored in the bag.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Yu quickly understood the reason and did not intend to push it.
After all, the Sword of Ruin was a divine object that was hidden from the world; even a yuan ying true monarch might not detect its anomalies when face to face.
He casually hung the Sword of Ruin at his waist and turned to walk toward the location where the Black Banner magical treasure had fallen.
Soon, Liu Yu took the Black Banner magical treasure from the Black Bone True Man and examined it closely.
The banner was now riddled with several large holes.
Under the astonishing blow of the Sword of Ruin, even though it was not the main target of the attack, this treasure was still significantly damaged.
Yet, the power contained within it remained terrifying, far exceeding those of foundation establishment stage treasures and supreme spiritual artifacts.
In the sunlight, the Black Banner magical treasure emitted wisping strands of black mist, and faint sounds of evil spirits howling could be heard from within.
A true demonic path treasure.
"Not bad."
Liu Yu examined it for a while, satisfied, and stored it in his storage bag.
When it comes to magical treasures, he did not care whether they were demonic or not; as long as they could enhance his power, that was sufficient.
He still planned to refine his life-bound magical treasure after forming the golden core.
After all, a mere foundation establishment cultivator collecting materials to refine magical treasures was akin to having a sign saying "fat sheep" over his head, likely to attract the attention of some golden core cultivator.
After much consideration, Liu Yu, sticking to his cautious nature, decided to wait until after forming the golden core before starting the refinement.
With that, he wouldn't have to act furtively, making it much safer.
Moreover, this Black Banner magical treasure would just fill the "vacuum period" of power after forming the golden core.
The spiritual energy in the surrounding area for dozens of miles had been manipulated; the earlier duel had made quite a racket, and he quickly cleaned the battlefield to erase his traces.
Liu Yu generously used his magical power, took out the supreme spiritual artifact, Meltfire Blade, and transformed it into a red escape light that shot skyward.
With his full magical power unleashed, his current escape speed steadily exceeded one thousand miles per hour.
In just a few blinks, the red escape light disappeared beyond the horizon.
