EBE Chapter 3837 Re-tempering
Chapter 3837 Re-tempering
Lines of game prompts reappeared on Fang Heng's retina.
[Note: The player's current quest - Condensing the Eye of the Netherworld - has changed.]
Task Name: Repair the Eye of the Underworld.
Task Description: You forcibly condensed the Netherworld Eye using an incomplete cultivation method, but you gradually discovered that the lack of cultivation techniques resulted in significant defects in the Netherworld Eye, which would have a backlash effect on you.
Task requirement: Find a way to fix this missing part.
Special Note: During the duration of this effect, all player attributes will be reduced by 30%.
Task Reward: God Points.
[Note: Due to the player's special constitution - Seed of Ouroboros, the player's attribute weakening effect is reduced by 80%]
"Not bad, you were able to unlock the potential of the Eye of the Netherworld on your first use."
The Underworld Emperor looked at Fang Heng, who was bent over due to the backlash, and calmly said, "The Eye of the Underworld was formed by absorbing the pupil power of the Myriad-Eyed Beast as a foundation and gradually refining it. The Myriad-Eyed Beast lives at the bottom of the Underworld Abyss and feeds on vengeful spirits. Over time, it carries a strong underworld resentment, which gathers in its pupil power."
In just a few breaths, Fang Heng had recovered and slowly straightened up.
"Oh?"
The Underworld Emperor looked at Fang Heng, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
How come he can still get up?
When he suffered the backlash back then, it was much more severe than Fang Heng's current situation.
Unbeknownst to the Underworld Emperor, the special constitution of the Seed of Ouroboros greatly enhanced Fang Heng's ability to fuse with mutated and aberrant creatures, significantly weakening the backlash effect of the Eye of the Underworld.
Fang Heng wiped away the bloodstains around his eyes, looked up at the Underworld Emperor, and asked, "Underworld Emperor, you should already have a solution, right?"
“Of course, I’ve been imprisoned in the Court of Punishment for so long, and I’ve been optimizing how to use the Eye of the Underworld. I naturally know how to completely resolve the backlash.”
The Underworld Emperor looked at Fang Heng and continued, "It's not impossible to teach you, but only after you fulfill your promise to me, and then we can delay the God Clan for a while longer..."
"The Underworld Emperor".
A few breaths later, Fang Heng had fully recovered from the backlash. He shrugged and interrupted, "I'm not saying this to be mean, but what you're doing is a bit unfair. I risked my life in the Underworld to help you fight the Gods, and what do you do? You don't help me, and you even pull these dirty tricks, making me fight the Gods in this state?"
"Hmph, you can't blame me for this. It was your own choice to cultivate the Netherworld Eye." The Underworld Emperor snorted. "Besides, your physique is special, so this backlash is nothing to you."
Fang Heng said, "Underworld Emperor, I know what you're thinking. Why don't you give me the method to perfect the Eye of the Underworld first? I promise to help you deal with the God Clan."
"What's the rush? You can come back after you're done. What? Do you want to return to your peak condition and fight a high-ranking elder of the God Clan to the death?"
"Heh, you actually guessed right."
"Oh?"
The Underworld Emperor was somewhat surprised and looked at Fang Heng.
Fang Heng's playful demeanor vanished, replaced by a serious expression. "Underworld Emperor, if I told you that I could create an even bigger disturbance in the Underworld, causing even greater trouble for the God Clan, and that you could gain more leverage in negotiations, would you believe me?"
The Underworld Emperor remained silent for a moment, pondering deeply.
Fang Heng has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, especially since he was able to escape unscathed from Elder Julius, who is at the Extreme Realm. Maybe he really has some tricks up his sleeve that can cause the God Clan to suffer even greater losses.
"Sure?"
"Of course I dare not deceive the Underworld Emperor, but I still need the Underworld Emperor to guide me in mastering the Eye of the Underworld and restoring my full combat power."
"What are you planning to do? Buy time? Julius is strong and not stupid. If he heads straight for the Howling Horn, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop him." The Underworld Emperor shook his head and said, "Besides, the Howling Horn's energy is being consumed rapidly. In my estimation, there are at most three days left..."
"Emperor of the Underworld, I have done everything I promised you before, and I will do it again this time. Are you willing to take a gamble?"
"Oh? Is that so?"
The Underworld Emperor thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Alright, I'll trust you one more time. I'll first teach you the method to perfectly refine the Eye of the Underworld. Listen carefully."
"Thank you, Emperor of the Underworld."
"The power of the Eye of the Netherworld has been contaminated by a large amount of resentment and lingering thoughts. It will take a long time to completely remove this contamination. First, slowly condense a little bit of necromantic crystal in the sea of consciousness, then condense the necromantic crystal into a vortex, and use the power of the vortex to purify the power of the eye little by little."
Fang Heng frowned slightly upon hearing this.
The old man, the Underworld Emperor, had been sealed in the Court of Punishment for so long, so he naturally had time to slowly temper the power of the Netherworld Eye, but he doesn't have that much time now.
"Don't worry, you're different from me, you have a more convenient way."
"Please enlighten me, Emperor of the Underworld."
"Simply use the power of sacred science to purify both the resentment and the Eye of the Underworld at the same time."
Oh yeah! There's that trick too!
Fang Heng had a sudden thought and was about to try it when he remembered something and frowned, saying, "But in this way, the power of the Netherworld Eye will also be weakened."
"Don't worry, after being tempered by the Netherworld Vortex, the power of your eyes has merged with your own body. Right now, your own body is the source of your power. Although the power of the Netherworld Eye will be damaged and temporarily weakened after each purification, it will slowly recover over time."
"You just need to purify it a few more times, and the resentment in your eyes will gradually decrease, and the backlash will gradually disappear. There's no rushing it. Your cultivation speed is already much faster than that of ordinary people, so just take it one step at a time."
"Thank you, Underworld Emperor, I understand."
Fang Heng immediately closed his eyes and channeled his divine power into the Eye of the Netherworld.
"Hiss, hiss hiss hiss..."
Instantly, the Eye of the Underworld was stimulated by the divine power and violently vaporized, emitting a bluish-gray smoke. At the same time, the eye felt intense pain and bright red blood gushed from it.
Fang Heng endured the pain.
Until the power of the Eye of the Underworld was weakened to its limit.
"Huh, huh..."
Fang Heng was panting heavily.
Within moments, the wounds inflicted on the Eye of the Underworld were rapidly healed by the terrifying self-regeneration of the Seed of Ouroboros.
The mental energy consumption of the Eye of the Underworld is negligible.
In the blink of an eye, the wounds inflicted on the Eye of the Underworld were completely healed.
It doesn't seem to be as long as the Underworld Emperor said, that it would take a very long time to complete the tempering of the Eye of the Underworld.
Let's do it again!
Fang Heng once again channeled divine power into the Eye of the Netherworld.
"Sizzle!! Sizzle sizzle!!!"
A divine light shone.
The Eye of the Netherworld vaporized once more, emitting a bluish-gray mist, while the veins around its eye socket bulged. (End of Chapter)
