New Profound Incarnation: Hinokagutsuchi
🕑 Added 2024-09-02 16:19:53 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 276 ---
The Imperial Demon Palace's Underground.
Two people are focusing on a shining armguard. At first glance, one could tell this arm guard is extraordinary. It possesses a remarkable demonic aura, making one breathe rise sharply just by looking at it.
"S-Success," said Thalia with beads of sweat on her forehead.
Yu Long stared at the shiny dark blue armguard with a hexagonal shell-like texture and commented, "Good, you have mastered elementary essence control after experimenting with so many Essence Spheres."
"Your talent is much better than I thought."
Thalia merely smiled after hearing Yu Long's praise. She knew she wasted so many resources only to grasp the elementary level of essence control, even with Yu Long's guidance.
She wasn't surprised she could make so much progress. If Thalia couldn't achieve this much with Yu Long's guidance and resources, she'd rather be a pig.
She felt there was nothing to be proud of here.
Yu Long picked up the armguard and observed it briefly, "Let's call this Turtle Guard. It could offset life-threatening attacks three times and even heal its wielder with pure light-water energy."
"I will follow Godfather's suggestion," Thalia answered, agreeing with Yu Long's given name for her tool. She glanced at her back and saw a small pile of Demonic Weapons.
The armguard is just one of many.
Thalia actually felt helpless inside. To her, all these Demonic Weapons are treasures and her lifeline. Yet to Yu Long, they are nothing but trash to play with and help increase her skill.
No wonder people looked for Kaiju Maker's Essence Spheres. They defied the very law of the universe.
A sudden question flashed in Thalia's mind, 'If Godfather's reincarnation was already this strong, I wonder how strong he was at his peak?'
Yu Long didn't notice Thalia's eyes flashing with wonders. He pondered the next step he must take to teach her instead.
"Well, that's enough for now, I guess." After thinking about it, Yu Long decided to give Thalia time off. "Go take a shower, Thalia. A girl should maintain her hygiene."
Thalia opened her mouth wordlessly. She sighed, "Godfather, you sound like my father just now."
"Is that supposed to be a bad thing? I'm taking you under my roof, after all." Yu Long raised his eyebrows. He only does the bare minimum.
"No, not really." Thalia couldn't help but grin. She had been running away from the Church of Khaos since her father's death.
Now that Yu Long is here, Thalia can relax and enjoy her free time with her Godfather. At the very least, she didn't have to worry about the looming danger above her head.
"Silly girl." Yu Long flicked Thalia's forehead, making her squat on the ground in pain. "Go take a shower and eat something filling."
"We will continue after you recover your mental strength."
Thalia nodded and returned to the surface, walking up the stairs.
Yu Long watched Thalia's back disappearing and shook his head, "I didn't expect myself to be a nanny. But this wasn't a bad experience considering I'd have children in the future."
He flipped his left hand, and a vial of Thalia's blood appeared.
He has asked for her blood earlier, wanting to unveil Hinokagutsuchi through it.
At the same time, Yu Long also wanted to create a tailor-made Profound Art for Thalia. Her strength was in no way close to protecting herself.
Even if Thalia used Hinokagutsuchi to fight the Olympus Scums, she wouldn't be able to injure them, more so killing them.
It was common sense, considering her cultivation base is only at peak Tyrant Profound Realm, and her strength has barely reached the Sovereign Profound Realm.
Of course, the Olympus Scums also couldn't do anything to Thalia as she has some powerful 'divine artifacts' in her hand. Her survival ability is better than theirs by miles away.
That's just how much Hephaestus cares for his daughter.
Previously, Yu Long asked Thalia if she had a connection to the Demonic Star Secret Realm or not, but she answered negatively. It seems Midas has nothing to do with her.
"Old Man, you're as cautious as always." Yu Long used Kaiju Maker to scan Thalia's blood, breaking the genetic codes and mystery one after another.
After a few seconds, Yu Long quickly used a Profound Manifestation and fused the Aspect of Hinokagutsuchi into it, creating a new incarnation.
The incarnation is a man with deep black hair and red tips. He wore a red Haori over a yellow kimono and black pants wrapped with a white sash. He also wore a katana on his left hip.
He looks handsome, but one would forget his facial features one second later as a white mist covered them. After that, all one could see was a sun-like mark between his eyebrows, shining with glory.
Yu Long stared at the new Profound Incarnation with a daze. He couldn't help but chuckle, "You're the strongest wielder of this power, after all."
"Black Steel's lineage will live on with me and Thalia."
"Don't worry, I will honor your death with those scums' lives."
The 'God of Fire' seemingly reacted after hearing Yu Long's words. It stared at him silently before nodding and disappearing into Yu Long's body.
Then, Kaiju Maker released faint whispers in Yu Long's ears.
[Acquired Skill - Fire of Life has evolved due to Hinokagutsuchi's influence]
[You have obtained Divine Skill - Sunfire of Beginning and End]
[You have obtained an Additional Skill - Divine Blacksmith's Senses]
Yu Long smiled, "Well, that was a surprise. No, that Old Man is probably leaving this for me."
"He knew I'd take Thalia's blood..."
"What a sly fox." Knowing this, Yu Long also formed Karmic Links with Thalia and took her into his factions.
"Whatever, let's test the power of my new incarnations."
Yu Long summoned Hinokagutsuchi Incarnation and ordered him to launch an attack in the pocket dimension. But soon, his eyes widened because of the invisible firepower it showed.
"Haha... This incarnation is already at the same level as my Seven Deadly Sin Incarnations." Yu Long watched the sight before him. "It seems I've gained another trump card."
"Well, let's keep it secret for now."
Yu Long glanced at Thalia's training materials and stored them inside the Sky Poison Pearl. He whistled and returned to the Imperial Demon Palace, finding Thalia and Tempest had lunch together.
He watched them from the hall and shook his head. He didn't want to bother them and went to visit Chu Yuechan.
Arriving at Chu Yuechan's room, Yu Long stopped his steps. He peeked inside and sighed in amazement because he could feel an immense sword intent from the other side of the door.
Although the sword's intent is far from being able to injure, Yu Long still found it impressive. If Chu Yuechan could master it, she might become the number one sword master in the Primal Chaos Dimension.
Thinking about it, Yu Long hoped this little thought would come true soon.
Yu Long kept walking and visited Huan Caiyi's room this time. For some reason, he could hear her groaning inside.
"Hmm?" Yu Long didn't have a hobby of eavesdropping. His senses are just that sharp.
He briefly scanned Huan Caiyi's room and found her meditating inside using the Sky Demon Sutra. Due to the intense pressure her brain must endure, her body consumes energy faster than fighting.
Huan Caiyi's body temperature rose rapidly, burning the precious rug under her.
Yu Long didn't step in because the Wind Spirit had appeared and assisted Huan Caiyi by blowing a cold breeze to lower her body temperature.
Sure enough, Huan Caiyi opened her eyes and looked refreshed. There is a faint afterglow on her beautiful face.
"Who is there?" Huan Caiyi stared at the door.
Yu Long wryly smiled, "It's me."
"Yu Long? Come in." Huan Caiyi was surprised to find Yu Long was looking for her.
Yu Long opened the door and walked inside.
Huan Caiyi wiped her sweat and asked, "Do you need something?"
"I was just strolling around." Yu Long answered honestly. "How much progress have you made with the Sky Demon Sutra?"
Huan Caiyi felt Yu Long was diverting the topic. She rubbed her forehead and answered, "I've reached the first two levels."
Yu Long's eyes lit up, "You're more talented than I thought, Caiyi."
"Is that so?" Huan Caiyi giggled.
"But I'm nothing compared to you."
"Tell me, Yu Long. How does it feel to be the strongest?"
Yu Long was stunned by Huan Caiyi's question and calmly waved his hand. "Strongest?"
"No, I didn't dare to claim such a title."
"I'm strong. But I'm not the strongest."
Huan Caiyi smiled faintly, "I see..."
"Would you like to talk about mundane things with me?"
"Well, I have free time to spare." Yu Long answered smoothly.
