When 'God' Decides To Start Over

Chapter 734 296: Demon in the Rain

Li Xiu was about to summon the Forbidden Spear. Who would have thought that before he could act, the Fire Lotus Sword suddenly transformed into a Sword Lotus form, enveloping the magic spirit within the massive Sword Lotus.

Inside the Sword Lotus, continuous explosions of light occurred, making it impossible for the magic spirit to escape, as if it was trapped in a prison.

"The Sword Lotus can be used like this?" Li Xiu was somewhat surprised, as he hadn't seen the Fire Lotus Sword used in such a way before.

Within the Sword Lotus, the sword light repeatedly intertwined, colliding with the Demonic Light of the magic spirit, producing fearsome crackling sounds. Despite bearing the brunt of these terrifying light explosions continuously, the Sword Lotus was neither destroyed nor forced open.

Li Xiu noticed the Sword Lotus itself was spinning rapidly, the gear-like sword light revolving around with it like a massive shredder, continuously grinding.

Upon the collision of the magic spirit's Demonic Light and the sword light, the resulting explosions and shockwaves became the driving force for the Sword Lotus's rotation, accelerating the spinning and enhancing the grinding power.

Even though the magic spirit's light energy was stronger than the Fire Lotus Sword, its might decreased once trapped.

"What an incredible Fire Lotus Sword, it actually has such a technique." Li Xiu secretly marveled, knowing that the magic spirit had no chance of winning and that being ground down was just a matter of time.

Li Xiu lost interest in watching and went to the workshop door to pick up the dual-handed sword.

The weight was extremely heavy, likely weighing a thousand pounds. Though not sharpened, it exuded a chilling aura. Most people wouldn't even be able to lift, let alone use, this dual-handed sword.

Li Xiu, with his current physical abilities, could easily lift the Sword Embryo, but actually wielding it in battle seemed somewhat cumbersome.

He held the sword hilt with one hand and grasped the sword body with the other, wanting to see if he could break it. Unexpectedly, the sword was incredibly hard; even when he unleashed all his light energy, he couldn't bend, let alone break, the Sword Embryo.

"It seems that the forged Sword Embryos in this workshop are made from different materials. Some are good, some are bad. But where do these sword-making materials come from? Is someone sending materials to the workshop, or are they originally present in the workshop?" Li Xiu drove the Sword Embryo into the ground. It was too heavy, and holding it continuously was tiring.

It's a pity the workshop's door couldn't be opened; otherwise, he could enter to find out.

If the workshop originally had raw materials, it seemed unlikely. If that were the case, these workshops would have run out of materials after operating for many years.

The continuous production of Sword Embryos indicated that raw materials were being sent regularly. If no one was sending them, then where were the materials coming from?

Li Xiu couldn't figure it out temporarily and could only enter the workshop to see.

This workshop was inaccessible, but he could return to the initial workshop, as the principle should be the same.

While Li Xiu pondered, the battle with the Fire Lotus Sword was reaching its conclusion. Contrary to being at a disadvantage, the Fire Lotus Sword brutally shredded the magic spirit, leaving no trace, even crushing the Demon Core, absorbing all the light energy.

The Fire Lotus Sword's Light Vein rapidly expanded to eight, greatly enhancing its power.

"One Light Base manifested so many Light Veins. With a few more, the Fire Lotus Sword's Light Veins should almost be full. But who knows about its potential—how many Light Veins could it eventually gather?" Li Xiu wondered if he could use his Light Planting Technique to increase the light vein limit of the contract with magic spirits.

Contracted magic spirits differ from humans, and Li Xiu hadn't yet decided how to approach it. The Fire Lotus Sword could serve as a test; once it reached its light vein limit, he would use the Light Planting Technique to see if he could expand its number of light veins.

The Fire Lotus Sword returned to Li Xiu's waist, seemingly not interested in Sword Embryos, indicating its hostility was towards sentient swords rather than the swords themselves.

"Take the Sword Embryo back to Old Official to see. With such good material, it might be usable for Demon Armor." Finding carrying the Sword Embryo too tiring, Li Xiu summoned the Masked Emperor to bear it.

One person and one sword continued forward, searching for more workshops. On the way, the Fire Lotus Sword moved like a God of Slaughter, unstoppable even by gods and Buddhas.

Afterwards, there was no particularly strong magic spirit encountered, with the strongest being only a Super Spirit.

Li Xiu wanted to gather more Sword Embryos but didn't know when the workshop would produce more and couldn't wait indefinitely, rarely coinciding with Sword Embryos emerging from the workshop.

Finally encountering one, it proved too weak; a light fold by Li Xiu broke it—bringing it back was of little use.

Until Li Xiu grew somewhat tired, he retrieved the Fire Lotus Sword and returned to the initial workshop.

Li Xiu studied the workshop's production line and discovered the raw materials originated from a large column, its diameter exceeding twenty meters, and height over thirty meters, with materials continuously supplied from within.

Other than the opening for material delivery, the entire cylinder was sealed, leaving the origin of the materials unknown.

Li Xiu guessed that if no one was delivering materials, the column might be a drilling device, extracting materials directly from underground.
