God of Slaughter

Only Shi Yan was left in the vault.

That big vault stored thousands of types of cultivating and refining materials. They were so colorful and brilliant that they could easily dazzle people. There was a piece of yellow paper stuck on each kind of material to tell the name and its primary functions.

When the blacksmiths and the alchemists came here, they just needed to read the notes to know what kind of pellets or secret treasures those materials could fabricate. As for the heat control and the precise amount, they depended on the method the blacksmiths and alchemists would use.

According to Yang Zhuo, when one wanted to become a blacksmith, he had to have the human flame, and it would be best if he could use the earth flame. If one had the heaven flame, even a lousy blacksmith could forge extraordinary weapons.

The human flame was the worst; the earth flame was better, and the heaven flame was something they could only meet by fortune. The heaven flame was the divine tool in the hands of blacksmiths and alchemists

In his line of sight were all sorts of refining materials. Shi Yan had the Ice Cold Flame, the Earth Flame, and the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame in his body, among which, the Earth Flame was the best flame to do the refining. In his Storage Ring, he had the Blacksmith’s Secrets of Success from the toxic land, which was the method written by a Spirit level blacksmith.

Flame, materials, and methods were the three fundamental elements required by a blacksmith. He had them all.

If he paid attention, he could become a blacksmith using his flame and materials to fabricate all kinds of secret treasures with different effects. He could even make the treasures perform their best that would give him the perfect assistance.

Sitting neatly in the vault, Shi Yan frowned while musing.

From his head to his feet, flows of negative emotions continuously oozed out, bringing all kinds of thoughts which were sufficient to disorder his mind, flooding his head.

When he killed Ming Hai’s group, he had used the Gravitational Field to grind more than ten warriors. Negative energies from those people were then poured into his acupuncture points. Now, he felt a vague pain inside his whole body while the negative energies were transferred into his body.

Currently, these negative energies were being filtered, and they started to generate the counter force that affected his mind.

As he had known beforehand that he had to undergo this phase, he had asked to stay in this vault, and would use his tough will to dissolve them all.

His mind barged into the Blood Vein Ring. He called the Ice Cold Flame, and a flame that looked like a shining white gem slowly came out, floating in front of him.

”Freeze me. Before my mind restores, and if I haven’t sent you any order, do not unseal.”

Shi Yan sent a message using his Soul Consciousness.

The Ice Cold Flame looked at him carefully.

These years, as the Ice Cold Flame had been living inside the Blood Vein Ring, it knew about all kinds of strange and mysterious things he had. It knew Shi Yan’s habits, and when to help him reduce the pressure on his body.

The Ice Cold Flame then released the extremely cold air. This cold air gathered but not diffused, turning into white mist pouring over his body.

Crack crack.

Shi Yan’s body started to be covered by frost. Freezing sounds echoed around him, and within only three seconds, his whole body was enveloped inside a five-meter-thick, solid ice layer.

Like an ice sculpture, Shi Yan sat there neatly, not moving an inch as a strange force had frozen him.

The Ice Cold Flame was the ancient heaven flame, which was specialized in using the extreme cold power in earth and heaven. After it came out from the Blood Vein Ring, it could mobilize cold air enough to freeze the whole island. So, it needed just a short period to freeze Shi Yan.

Inside the ice block, Shi Yan was refining the negative energy in silence.

Staying in there, even if he had all kinds of brutal thoughts in his head, he couldn’t take any action, being confined inside the ice block.

The refined aura from the negative energies flooded his mind. However, under the effect of the Ice Cold Flame, even his thoughts seemed to be frozen.

In this state, he didn’t need to worry that he would destroy everything around him while he was refining all the negative energies.

Time flew by, and one day was gone.

All the negative energies had been refined, turning into flows of peculiar power, overflowing from seven hundred and twenty acupuncture points all over his body to his tendons, bones and even blood. They strengthened his physique and enhanced the purity of his Profound Qi. Four precious drops of Immortal Blood had been condensed in his palm as well.

A part of the peculiar power was absorbed by the Star Martial Spirit. This made the Star Martial Spirit radiate jade-like beams, and triggered numerous star dots moving over his heart. This enhanced the absorption and the density of the Star Martial Spirit, helping the Stars’ peculiar abilities grow, and the Stars Martial Spirit to thrive more stably.

Shi Yan slowly woke up.

He immediately felt the extreme cold all over his body. His mind flickered, sending his thought to the Ice Cold Flame.

A suction force came out from the snowflake form of the Ice Cold Flame. The cold around his body was removed, sucked into the Ice Cold Flame.

In just a flash, the ice covering his body vanished into thin air, as if it had never existed.

Shi Yan exhaled, sensing the change in his Star Martial Spirit. Also, he was holding four precious drops of the Immortal Blood. Shi Yan smiled, speaking to the Ice Cold Flame, ”Alright.”

”I’m getting back in the ring,” replied the Ice Cold Flame.

”Hold on,” Shi Yan frowned and halted the Ice Cold Flame.

”What’s up?”

”We had made a deal that when I entered the Nirvana Realm, I will let you go.” Shi Yan’s complexion was somber. ”However, after I entered the Nirvana Realm, we had a special situation. You’d sunk into silence so I couldn’t fulfill my promise. But now…”

”For the moment, I don’t want to leave.” The Ice Cold Flame sent him a message before he could finish his talk. ”The reason why I wanted to leave was because I felt one day you would take all that I had and enslave me just like my previous master, who had considered me his precious treasure. But after living together for a period, I can see you’re different from him.”

”What?” Shi Yan was astounded. ”So, you won’t leave me?”

”I don’t have this thought just yet.” The Ice Cold Flame mused, then sent him another message. ”Wait until I find a place suitable for me to evolve, I’ll tell you. At that time, I hope you will let me go. But for now, I’ll stay with you. You can be considered a foreigner among the human race. Living with you is safer than wandering alone and then getting captured by other God Realm warriors.”

Shi Yan burst out laughing.

His thoughts flickered again. The Earth Flame, the Holy Spirit God and even the King of Demonic Insects flew out from the Blood Vein Ring.

The Ice Cold Flame, the Earth Flame, the Holy Spirit God, the King of Demonic Insects and the Devouring Gold Silkworm – three eccentric living beings and two demonic beasts, all showed themselves in the vault. They were forming a five-colored energy halo that rippled out from Shi Yan.

”Retrieve your powers.”

Shi Yan’s face slightly changed and he immediately shouted. The formidable Profound Qi in his body suddenly moved, creating a huge dark light shield, covering the surging energy of the gorgeous five-colored halo.

The five living beings hurried to withdraw their powers, preventing them from expanding when they heard him shouting.

After all of the energies had been retreated and the vault restored its quietness again, Shi Yan frowned and then talked in a low tone. ”It’s our fate that we can be together. I let all of you out this time to make something clear.” The Ice Cold Flame, the Earth Flame, and the Holy Spirit God had turned into three separate beams of light, floating in front of him. The Devouring Gold Silkworm and the King of Demonic Insects were on his left and right, waiting in silence.

”I know my blood has an extreme effect on creatures and existences like you guys.” Shi Yan lowered his voice, looking at the Devouring Gold Silkworm and the King of Demonic Insects. ”I promise, from now on, as long as I’m alive, I will give you a drop of blood every other month to help you evolve.”

He looked emphatically at the King of Demonic Insects. ”Whether or not you give me the Life Original Fluid, this promise is valid as long as you stay with me. Even if, at some point in the future, you have given me all of your Life Original Fluid, my words won’t change.”

Then, he pointed out and squeezed out two drops of his dark-red immortal blood. He wrapped them with his thought and made them move towards the Devouring Gold Silkworm and the King of Demonic Insects.

These two living beings revealed their eager eyes watching the Immortal Blood. They took the drops in, and when they looked at Shi Yan again, their eyes had become friendlier.

Shi Yan smiled then nodded, shifting his look towards the Ice Cold Flame, the Earth Flame, and the Holy Spirit God. ”I don’t know what kind of chance or special materials in heaven and earth you guys need to upgrade. But, I promise you that one day when I have something that can benefit you guys, I’ll give it to you immediately. Later on, if you find some places you want to stay and cultivate, I’ll not force or bind you. I’ll let you go.” The Ice Cold Flame, the Holy Spirit God, and the Earth Flame were the three living beings without physical entities. As they heard him say so, they all sent him thoughts to show their appreciation.

”There’re many kinds of cultivating materials in this vault. Most of them are very good to humans. But I don’t know if you guys want them or not. You can go and check. If you find something you want, or it’s suitable for your cultivation, just take it.” The Ice Cold Flame, the Holy Spirit God, and the Earth Flame were excited, directly flying away to search around the vault.

It was something that actually suited these three living beings.

The three living beings had moved around the room, and unexpectedly found something that could help them evolve. They absorbed the materials, then returned to Shi Yan.

Shi Yan’s eyes brightened.
