231: The magical artifact has returned to its rightful place! New spirit stones will be created!

"So this is the Magic Treasure that the abyssal legguards transformed into..."

Su Yang looked at the crystal floating in the air before him, feeling in his heart that his past self had been quite the schemer.

Every part of the eternal emperor battle armor had transformed into a different Magic Treasure; no one could have imagined that these Magic Treasures could actually aggregate into an even more powerful battle armor Magic Treasure.

Even if someone realized this, they likely wouldn't know exactly what Magic Treasures the various parts of the eternal emperor battle armor had turned into, or where they were scattered.

"Worthy Son-in-law, what exactly do you want this abyssal spirit stone for?"

Kaidun III asked curiously.

"It's called the abyssal spirit stone?"

Kaidun III nodded and replied, "The Kaiyue Empire has called this Spirit Stone by that name for generations."

"Then the ancestors of the Kaiyue Empire were truly good at naming things."

Su Yang smiled slightly, reached out his hand, and with a thought...

"Buzz—!!!"

The floating blue Spirit Stone suddenly burst with light, emitting an ancient hum.

It then broke away from the vortex of spiritual liquid, turned into a streak of azure light, flew in front of Su Yang, and floated steadily in his palm!

Immediately after, a faint radiance appeared on Su Yang's body.

On his left leg, the patterns transformed from the abyssal legguards surfaced, and then the armor of the left abyssal legguard manifested automatically.

On his chest, the patterns of the mystic gold armor lit up, and the mystic gold armor emerged.

The Void-Rending Battle Boots on his right foot and the Dark River Arm Guard on his right arm also resonated and appeared simultaneously!

Parts of the eternal emperor battle armor had manifested on their own!

This scene caused the pupils of Kaidun III, as well as Princess Kaina and Princess Kailin behind him, to constrict.

Although it was only a partial manifestation, it already possessed the posture of a God of War that inspired worship.

Right before their astonished eyes, the abyssal spirit stone in Su Yang's hand floated up. The materialized crystal suddenly released a vast amount of Spiritual Qi, rapidly shrinking before turning into a mass of gaseous blue light. The light contracted inward, flowing like blue mist toward Su Yang's right leg, enveloping it.

"Clang—!"

A clear sound like the clashing of metal and jade echoed throughout the entire underground cavern!

The blue light merged into Su Yang's right leg, rapidly spreading and taking shape!

A piece of leg armor, symmetrical in design to the left abyssal legguard, shifted from ethereal to solid, perfectly covering Su Yang's right leg!

The abyssal legguards, returned to their place!

"Boom—!!!"

The moment both abyssal legguards were gathered, an uncontrollable pressure erupted from all around Su Yang!

Dark golden light suddenly expanded with him as the center. Within the light, one could vaguely see terrifying visions of mountains and rivers collapsing and reforming, the earth sinking and rising, and endless power surging and roaring!

An extreme essence that governed the earth and suppressed the eight directions soared into the sky!

"What is this..."

Kaidun III, Wen Yunyao, Lin Bingqing, An Ran, Gu Yue, Kaina, and Kailin, who were slightly closer, were forced back repeatedly by this suddenly erupting aura.

Their blood surged, and their faces were filled with horror!

The crystalline domes trembled violently, and crystals kept falling.

Fortunately, Su Yang quickly restrained his aura, preventing a collapse.

This glimpse of shock made Kaidun III look at his son-in-law, Su Yang, with even more awe, looking up at him as if he were a deity.

He felt more and more that his son-in-law was absolutely not some ordinary Cultivator.

The aura on his body was too strong.

Furthermore, the incomplete battle armor on him didn't look like something from the mortal realm!

The radiance on Su Yang's body receded, and the battle armor parts turned back into Inscriptions branded on his body, then faded and disappeared.

"Not bad!"

"My strength has increased again!"

The eternal emperor battle armor had taken another step forward.

Su Yang took a deep breath, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

However,

As the abyssal spirit stone was taken away, the slowly rotating spiritual liquid vortex suddenly stalled and then began to dim.

The Spiritual Qi with special power attributes in the cavern began to decay rapidly.

The entire Chongyue Mountain Spiritual Vein seemed to have lost its heart; its miraculous effect of strengthening the physical body was rapidly draining away.

Su Yang naturally noticed the change in the Spiritual Vein.

Moreover, Su Yang found that after taking away the abyssal spirit stone, the speed at which the Spiritual Qi in the Spiritual Vein receded was much faster than expected.

At this rate, in less than two years, the strength of everyone in the Kaiyue Empire would fade.

The next generation would be even less likely to have the strong physical constitution of the current generation.

Now, the Kaiyue Empire had become a force he could use. If it weakened at this rate, the future Kaiyue Empire might be filled with insignificant ordinary mortals, which was undoubtedly not good news for him.

Since he intended to turn the Kaiyue Empire into a force he could use, he naturally hoped it could maintain its current state, or even become stronger than it was now.

"Cold Moon, Luo Luo, come here for a moment."

"I need you to work with me to recreate a Spirit Stone to replace the original abyssal spirit stone."

Su Yang said to them.

Cold Moon understood, stepped forward, and glanced at the dimmed spiritual liquid vortex.

She extended her delicate hand, and a trace of extremely pure power swirled around her fingertips.

Luo Luo also hopped forward giggling, her small hands forming seals, as a soft and life-filled emerald green light emerged around her.

Su Yang went beneath the dimmed spiritual liquid, sat cross-legged, and although the eternal emperor battle armor did not manifest, the Inscriptions it had turned into lit up.

His body emitted a spiritual light that seemed almost material.

The spiritual light was controlled by an invisible will, gathering without dispersing, slowly condensing above his head.

Cold Moon and Luo Luo together channeled their power into Su Yang.

Under Su Yang's precise control, the three forces were slowly injected into the center of the dimmed spiritual liquid vortex.

Su Yang was fully focused, and Cold Moon and Luo Luo cooperated with all their might.

The dimmed vortex began to glow again, its color gradually changing from earthy yellow to a deeper dark blue.

The light grew brighter and brighter.

The new spiritual liquid vortex was more stable. As it rotated, the Spiritual Qi it emitted not only retained the original characteristics of strengthening the body and being heavy and solid, but also added a hint of strange spirituality.

An hour later,

When Su Yang had completely solidified the power of the three people, a new Spiritual Vein core appeared in the spiritual liquid.

This crystal was larger than the original, dark blue all over, with what looked like a galactic vortex inside. It didn't just feel like power; there was also a more profound Life Spiritual Qi circulating within.

The Spiritual Qi fluctuations it emitted were even purer and more majestic than the original abyssal spirit stone.

Su Yang withdrew his hands, with a bit of fine sweat on his forehead.

Cold Moon and Luo Luo also breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Yang stood up.

He stepped back a few paces and looked closely at the spiritual liquid vortex in front of him, which had changed from earthy yellow to dark blue.

Since the new crystal was also dark blue, it was almost invisible to the naked eye deep within, but as the one who personally crafted the Spirit Stone, Su Yang could naturally feel its existence clearly.

This new Spirit Stone, created by the joint efforts of him, Cold Moon, and Luo Luo, contained the power of all three of them and was only stronger, not weaker than the original Spirit Stone formed by the abyssal legguards!

At this moment,

The new Spirit Stone was already operating stably, and the receding Spiritual Qi in the Spiritual Vein had been replenished.

"It's a success."

Su Yang observed for a moment and finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Turning to Kaidun III, he said, "Father-in-law, this new Spirit Stone will not only continue but also more effectively nourish the physical constitution of the Kaiyue people. With long-term immersion..."

"Are there other effects?"

Kaidun III looked at Su Yang with excitement and anticipation...
