As Reon retrieved the Eclipse Orb from Xu Shen's spatial ring, he held it up to the light, observing the intricate patterns etched across its surface.
It looked just as he remembered, but he could sense the immense power it contained was dormant. With a deep breath, he activated the system's interface, anticipation bubbling within him.
Suddenly, the familiar chime of the system resonated in his mind.
[Ding! The System has begun the repair sequence for the Eclipse Orb. Please stand by for a moment while the process is completed.]
Reon felt a surge of energy radiating from the orb that was the size of a pill, its surface shimmering with an ethereal glow.
He watched in awe as the cracks that marred its surface began to glow and slowly seal themselves, the orb pulsating gently with newfound vitality. The air around him seemed to vibrate, responding to the orb's awakening.
As the repair process continued, Reon's eyes widened in disbelief. "It can repair items?" he muttered to himself, astonished.
The realization dawned on him that the system had capabilities far beyond what he had initially understood. The potential for this power was immense, opening doors to countless possibilities he had yet to explore.
In mere moments, the Eclipse Orb transformed before his eyes, its previous wear and tear vanishing, replaced by a pristine luster. The orb now radiated a potent aura, humming with energy that promised untold power.
[Ding! The Eclipse Orb has been successfully repaired. The Host may now utilize its abilities.]
Reon stared at the orb, a mixture of excitement and disbelief washing over him. "This is incredible!" he exclaimed, a grin spreading across his face. "If the system can repair items, what else can it do?" His mind raced with the implications of this newfound knowledge.
"Since the system can restore broken or incomplete items, all I need to do is complete missions to fully unlock the potential of these artifacts and weapons," Reon thought, his mind racing with new possibilities.
With the ability to restore powerful item and equipment, the odds of surviving in this brutal world suddenly seemed far more favorable.
A renewed sense of hope and determination surged through him, strengthening his resolve for the challenges that lay ahead.
Reon activated his "Identify" skill, focusing intently on the Eclipse Orb to assess its current state and hidden properties.
[Item: Eclipse Orb
Grade: High Tier Rare Grade (Growth-Type, ??).
Description: The Eclipse Orb is a transcendent artifact, now fully restored to its primordial brilliance. This mystical orb, when consumed, forms an ethereal core within the Dantian of its bearer, harmonizing the celestial forces of the eclipsing Sun and Moon.
Imbued with the dual essence of Solar Qi and Lunar Qi, the wielder gains the extraordinary ability to command both light and shadow, seamlessly weaving them into an intricate dance of power.
The Solar Qi radiates with the ferocity of the blazing sun, granting devastating offensive might, while the Lunar Qi cloaks the wielder in the soft, elusive veil of the moon, enhancing defense with unparalleled elegance.
This perfect harmony between day and night, light and shadow, offense and defense grants the bearer unparalleled versatility, transforming the Eclipse Orb into a rare conduit of cosmic equilibrium and mastery.
As the user's strength and cultivation progress, and certain conditions are met, the Eclipse Orb's latent power will continue to evolve, unlocking even greater potential and further enhancements.
This evolution deepens its connection to the celestial forces of the eclipsing sun and moon, amplifying its abilities and transforming it into an even more formidable artifact.
Abilities:
Solar Burst (Growth-Type): Unleashes a concentrated beam of pure sunlight that pierces even the toughest defenses, delivering devastating damage to any enemies caught in its path.
This formidable attack draws upon the Solar Qi of the Eclipse Orb, growing stronger with increased concentration and purity of the Solar Qi, amplifying its destructive power.
Shadow Dome (Growth-Type): The user conjures a dome of impenetrable shadow that envelops them, rendering them nearly invisible to enemies. This protective barrier shields against both physical and spiritual attacks for a limited duration.
As attacks strike the dome, they dissipate into wisps of shadow, granting the user the opportunity to strategize, heal, or launch surprise counterattacks from within.
However, the dome draws upon the Lunar Qi of the Eclipse Orb, and its energy is not limitless. The user must act swiftly before the shadows fade.
.
Lunar Reflection (Growth-Type): ?.
.
Passive Abilities: (??), (??), (??).
.
Special Passive: (???), (???).
Reminder: The Eclipse Orb is most effectively utilized after reaching the Peak Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm and upon forming the Golden Core.
Premature use of its power could hinder the successful formation of the Golden Core later in the user's cultivation journey, leading to potential complications in advancing to higher realms.
Therefore, caution is advised when tapping into its immense energy before achieving the necessary cultivation foundation.
Bound: Once claimed, the Eclipse Orb becomes soulbound to the wielder, rendering it unusable by anyone else—even if the user is killed and the artifact is stolen—unless it is willingly transferred.]
