"Exorcise!" Muriya, holding a greatsword as tall as himself, softly uttered its name. Then, the sword burst with spiritual light, flames, thunder, and hurricanes, all pouring into his body, further elevating his strength.
A vast, ancient aura spread out, and mysterious ancient divine scripts densely appeared on the blade. These were texts containing laws. Muriya closed his eyes, falling into a wonderful state of comprehending the mysteries of the soul and the true meaning of power.
Beneath him, the twenty-third ring of soul intent had formed, and the twenty-fourth ring of soul intent began to take shape...
After a while, Muriya slowly opened his eyes, which seemed to contain a world filled with thunder, flames, and hurricanes.
With his consciousness awakening, the twenty-fourth ring of soul intent beneath his feet solidified.
"I feel the barrier of levels." Muriya looked down at the twenty-four rings of soul intent shining with brilliant golden light beneath his feet and murmured, "Now, I am at the pinnacle of the first tier of soul intent. With one more ring of soul intent, I can break through to the second tier of soul intent."
"That means, for each tier of soul intent, up to the fifth tier, I can condense twenty-four rings of soul intent. My soul's limit can withstand a hundred and twenty rings of soul intent. This number is quite good."
"Good? Are you kidding me?" The spirit of the void stared at Muriya, "Your number is more than just good. Do you know how many soul intent rings a normal Titan can condense?"
"I know!" Muriya nodded. A normal Titan, for each tier of soul intent, can condense about twelve rings of soul intent. When they reach the pinnacle of soul intent, they generally have sixty rings of soul intent.
"The number of soul intent rings you can bear is twice that of a normal Titan. It's not just good; it's monstrous!"
Hephaestus stared at Muriya. He had forged weapons for many Titans, seen various types and many Titan geniuses.
Although the number of soul rings condensed by some Titan geniuses also exceeded the normal standard, it was only by two or three rings per tier. Muriya's doubling was unprecedented.
This was not just a genius; this was a monster with Titan blood.
"So, can you tell me why your soul can bear twice as many soul intent rings as a normal Titan?"
"Simple." Muriya glanced at the curious spirit of the void, "When I was young, I merged with a drop of Dragon King's source blood."
"Source blood! The power of the world's origin! A power that stands shoulder to shoulder with the gods!" Hearing Muriya's answer, the spirit of the void, Hephaestus, became unsettled. Source power was also something he coveted. With enough source power, he could...
"Heh, wishful thinking!" The body of the spirit of the void collapsed, turning into points of light that merged into the surrounding walls.
"Going into seclusion?" Muriya's expression remained unchanged, but he was inwardly delighted. Indeed, no one could remain calm after hearing about his fusion with a drop of source blood. Even his grandfather, Akamond, was surprised for a moment.
"Four more to go!" Muriya looked at the greatsword in his hand, its slender yet heavy blade covered with patterns evolved from ancient divine scripts, seemingly trying to form a certain pattern, yet appearing naturally perfect.
"Exorcise, come in!" Muriya released the hilt of the sword, and the greatsword hummed, expressing a reluctant emotion.
"Good boy!" Muriya flicked the Exorcise sword, and the long and profound sword chant echoed through the forging hall. At the same time, it made the four weapons in the eternal flame even more restless, as if urging him.
Then, the heavy sword, engraved with brilliant divine patterns, hummed and turned into a sword light, merging into Muriya's chest.
As the Exorcise sword integrated into Muriya's body, a long knife eagerly shot out from the eternal flame, turning into a long rainbow that directly plunged into the metallic ground in front of Muriya.
"Cough!" Muriya looked at the weapon with half its blade buried in the ground and coughed dryly. Fortunately, this place was built by the Mech Emperor, making the metal here possess a special activity. Even if destroyed by force, it could automatically recover.
Otherwise, this forging hall would have been devastated by his weapons.
"Can it help me break through to the second tier of soul intent?" Muriya looked at the battle knife, not much smaller than the greatsword, and grasped the hilt. Its name naturally emerged in Muriya's mind, and then he softly pronounced it.
"Seven Sins!"
"Boom!" More intense dragon flames than the previous five weapons, more explosive thunders, and more violent hurricanes rose from this battle knife, as if answering Muriya's question. A majestic power flowed into Muriya's body.
Mysterious ancient divine scripts emerged from the blade, a vast ancient aura spread, enveloping Muriya. Then, he closed his eyes and fell into a state of enlightenment. Beneath his feet, the twenty-fifth ring of soul intent faintly appeared...
Without any accidents or obstacles, Muriya easily stepped into the second tier of soul intent. The Titan youth opened his eyes, two dazzling beams of golden light shot from his pupils, striking the ground and sparking a burst of flames.
Muriya's advancement made his body slightly larger, a significant achievement less than a year after awakening from his slumber. This was enough to astonish and envy many Titans.
However, Muriya's face didn't show much joy, as this was the expected return for possessing nine exclusive weapons. For these nine weapons, he had paid a lot and endured pains unimaginable to ordinary Titans...
When the Seven Sins battle knife merged into his body, Muriya skillfully extended his hand towards the altar...
"Chase the Sun!"
"Starfall!"
...When the Chase the Sun spear and the Starfall longbow merged into Muriya's body, two more rings of soul intent appeared beneath his feet.
Now there were twenty-seven rings. Then, Muriya looked up at the altar above, towards the last exclusive weapon in the eternal flame, and stretched out his hand.
Green wind, purple thunder, and crimson fire appeared as the last weapon flew out of the eternal flame, a grand elemental tide emerged in the forging hall.
"Come, my exclusive staff!" Seeing such a magnificent scene, Muriya showed a slight smile.
The staff quickly shrank to match Muriya's size and obediently fell into his hand.
"End!" After Muriya pronounced the name of this staff, which ordinary Titans would never forge, he then fell into a state of enlightenment.
