Chapter 415

When ripples like water waves formed a unity between the cracked void stone and the stick through the connection point, and after adding the reforged Accumulation Device component assembled into a golden-thread grip, and the stick also incorporated Fivefold Transformation adamantite to enhance its toughness, the prototype of this Accumulation Device was already assembled.

Next is the sealing and forging!

This step didn't take long; Yan Buji's magical power and spirit were more than enough, and because the Accumulation Device's materials were extraordinary, the number of transformations of the finished Accumulation Device would certainly not be low.

However, at this point Yan Buji deliberately controlled the Accumulation Device's strength to a level he could master, to facilitate later refinement, because if the accumulation material became too high‑grade, he might not be able to fully refine this Accumulation Device.

So he left part of the accumulation material unrefined, waiting until his strength increased enough to control a stronger Accumulation Device, then he could further refine it.

After Yan Buji completed the sealing and forging, a golden-thread scepter appeared in his hand.

"Three transformations for a finished item is not bad, and even with a considerable portion unrefined, sealing and forging can still be performed, though its true power cannot be fully unleashed." Yan Buji gripped the scepter tightly.

After the scepter was refined, the ash‑covered stone bead on it was one size smaller than the previous cracked void stone. The wooden stick forming the shaft hadn't changed much in length, and at the junction between the shaft and the stone bead there was a non‑metal support — a dragon‑claw bracket — whose non‑metal strength is sufficient to bear the flow of Space Power.

Furthermore, the golden‑thread wrapped grip formed from the reforged Yin‑Yang qi component, and the Fivefold Transformation adamantite reinforcing the scepter's toughness, allow this scepter to be used for both ranged and melee attacks.

At least there's no need to worry about being ambushed when using Void‑Dao techniques.

"Let's just call it the Cleft‑Void Scepter and see how powerful it is."

Yan Buji thought, and activated the scepter!

The scepter itself relies mainly on the ability of the cracked void stone, so it must use the Void‑Dao magical power cultivated through the Heaven Gate Law; only this special power can trigger the scepter's own power.

As the magical power flowed in, Yan Buji waved the staff and a deep, dark rift suddenly appeared before the room!

Feeling the connection between himself and the rift, Yan Buji increased his input of magical power!

Screech!

A pitch‑black space blade thrust suddenly downward from the rift, instantly piercing the floor!

"Can't test it here."

Yan Buji felt that this was beyond his current control limits, so he left the secret chamber and flew toward the sea.

Standing on the sea surface, Yan Buji raised the scepter and released a spatial rift again!

At maximum range, Yan Buji can release it beyond a kilometer in his extreme state, though only one rift can be emitted and he cannot channel magical power to control the space blade generated within the rift.

Under optimal conditions, within a three‑hundred‑meter radius Yan Buji can create three rifts, each rift containing space blades

At most about five blades.

If the opponent has no means to limit the rifts, the rifts will disappear after Yan Buji releases five of them, or simultaneously when he withdraws his magical power.

Moreover, within this three‑hundred‑meter range the space blades in the rifts can freely change angle, but the blades are no longer than five meters, and controlling the distance precisely is not easy.

However, its lethality and ambush capability are top‑notch; this method benefits from the knowledge of Void‑Dao contained in the Void‑Dao Gu worm that Yan Buji consumed, and as a way of using it, he feels the space blade is not the scepter's sole means of attack.

Thinking thus, Yan Buji took out a Golden Core; it was Yang Long's Golden Core, inside which a portion of Yang Long's soul was still sealed.

"Although I don't know much about soul‑refining techniques, it shouldn't be too hard."

Yan Buji thought for a moment, then extracted Yang Long's soul from the Golden Core and held it under control in his palm.

Yang Long's soul, having lost more than half of itself, became deranged and bloodthirsty, with extremely strong aggression.

Yan Buji slightly refined it, making it obedient, and then placed it into the golden‑thread grip.

Indeed, the rift scepter gained some additional abilities.

"That should work."

Yan Buji channeled magical power, forming a rift.

Inside the rift no space blade appeared; instead, Yang Long's ghost rushed outward, tearing at the air before it.

"Hmm, although it lacks intelligence and its lethality isn't high, this is because I don't know soul‑refining methods."

Or one could directly command the ghost to go out and kill enemies; without using the rift, it can be made to attack in the direction Yan Buji anticipates.

Before Yan Buji recalls them, they will exhaust their power and only then return.

Moreover, being ghosts, they are easy to control or even destroy; overall this should be considered a consumable means, not as effective as the combination of rift and space blade.

Thus, this scepter currently possesses two lethal abilities and one primary ability.

Space blade, soul control, and most crucially the spatial rift.

The rift comes from Yan Buji's Heaven Gate Law, the space blade is an inherent dangerous power of the cracked void stone itself, and soul control lies in the Yin‑Yang qi component inscribed with the Netherworld Scripture.

Overall, this scepter itself possesses extremely strong versatile tactical responses, its structure is quite perfect, and it also has potential for further advancement.

However, the problem is that casting requires a moment to infuse magical power, possibly because the Accumulation Device was sealed and forged without being fully refined.

Nevertheless, the space blade's lethality can be expected; this thrust imbued with Space Power means that even cultivators with excellent defensive techniques, lacking a countermeasure, can only dodge and dare not meet it head‑on, even if they are at the Golden Core stage.

Afterward, Yan Buji evaluated the scepter's own lethality, and the result matched what he had thought.

Upon detailed calculation, the ways to use the rift are many, but unfortunately it cannot be linked with the Heaven Gate Law; otherwise, if one could release a rift through the scepter and then use the Heaven Gate Law to teleport the rift, directly striking enemies at close range or fleeing, Yan Buji would be far more flexible and versatile in battle.

Imagine if the rift could also transport Yan Buji; he is still a Martial Cultivation, possessing the True Essence of the Flower‑Pattern Mystic Technique that does not conflict, so in combat he could simply place three rifts above their heads, having to watch out for the space blades and worry about Yan Buji teleporting over; even if ambushed, the situation would quickly return to his control.

However, this idea cannot be realized, for Yan Buji's practice of the Heaven Gate Law is not very profound; he merely took the Human‑Origin Great Pill out of necessity to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, after which the Heaven Gate Law became the Heaven Gate Five‑Element Law.

Furthermore, afterward he needed to strengthen himself and turn to diligent practice of Martial Dao, leaving no time to study the Heaven Gate Law, so his understanding of it remains shallow.

"Perhaps after I reach the Golden Core stage or the Nascent Soul stage, this idea will be easily realized." Yan Buji laughed.
