American Exorcism Male God

Chapter 322: The Utterly Complex Forging



```

Eight Monster House, skylight forge room.

Xu Yi stared intently at the Yata Mirror, not blinking an eye.

The process unfolding before him was the "Array Transfer," the first step in forging the "Seven Deadly Sins," and also the most critical one.

Golden flames constantly scorched the Yata Mirror, from which both the Ghost Samurai and Xu Yi kept their distance.

To smelt a mythic-level Holy Artifact, common flames would obviously not suffice. Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire

Those golden flames were created using the Mud God Stele as a medium, integrating both the Demon-Suppressing Flame and the Red Lotus Karma Flame, fueled by divinity and transcendental flesh, thus forming the Melting Flame.

The temperature of the Melting Flame was so high that even though the Ghost Samurai tried hard to suppress it to prevent the heat from leaking out, the entire forge room was still sweltering.

The Yata Mirror flickered with light, its mysterious inscriptions appearing and vanishing, and Xu Yi remembered the etching from a few hours earlier, his hand faintly aching.

These were the inscriptions of the Holy Artifact itself.

To make the Array of the Yata Mirror visible was no simple task, but luckily, he had previously collected a batch of the now-extinct Cassi Bugs from deep within the pyramid, making this task much simpler.

After the Array became visible, the next step was analysis; using the knowledge from the Sun Golden Scripture, he parsed the entire energy flow of the Array.

Under the effect of the "Entries Burning Technique," his ability with Arrays had become considerable, not inferior to those Array masters steeped in this field.

Just these two steps alone were enough to dissuade most people, yet these were the simplest parts in the forging of the "Seven Deadly Sins."

What followed was "Array Solidification."

Using the power of the Undead Black Scripture, Xu Yi stabilized the Array of the Yata Mirror and began to etch with an "Array Carving Pen."

Typically, the tip of an Array Carving Pen is made of Red Crystal, but Red Crystal is utterly useless for mythic Holy Artifacts.

Seized by a sudden inspiration, Xu Yi used the Philosopher's Stone as a substitute, significantly enhancing the effect.

Although using the Philosopher's Stone consumed a certain amount, it was entirely within an acceptable range.

After the Philosopher's Stone was tainted with a specially crafted expensive potion, Xu Yi began to outline the entire Array.

There could not be a single mistake during this process; a single error in the strokes, or a break in any of them, would render all efforts futile.

What's most important is that Array Solidification is not a one-time affair; it requires a total of 36 solidifications.

That is to say, for the intricately complex Array of a Holy Artifact, he had to etch it no less than 36 times without error!

Relying on the enhancements of several Entries like Painter, Sculptor, and others, as well as the precision control over his body provided by the Body of Demigod, Xu Yi gritted his teeth and bore the burden.

To use a mythic Holy Artifact to forge the "Seven Deadly Sins," the steps involved were truly so intricate they could make one's scalp tingle!

If it wasn't for Xu Yi's rich abilities in Entries and the possession of various bizarre objects, one wouldn't even dare to imagine undertaking this task.

Under the refinement of the Melting Flame, the Yata Mirror gradually melted.

To successfully transfer the Array, two conditions must be met: the Holy Artifact must melt, and the Array on it must remain undamaged.

Melting the Yata Mirror alone would only yield "scrap" of no use whatsoever.

The first alchemical weapon Xu Yi prepared to forge was "Gluttony," one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

This was not his choice; it was decided by the Yata Mirror itself.

The natures of different Sin Remains vary, and the Yata Mirror was more compatible with the remains of Gluttony, so that's what he chose to forge.

In other words, regardless of which first alchemical weapon he was to forge, he would use the Yata Mirror as the material.

Even though the Yata Mirror was damaged by the Crow Man, that does not mean it was not strong.

On the contrary, the Yata Mirror is an extraordinarily powerful mythic Holy Artifact.

Could the Source of Sin be sealed by just any ordinary Holy Artifact?

The Yata Mirror was damaged simply because it is not famed for its sturdiness; after all, each mythic Holy Artifact has its unique strengths.

Amongst the Holy Artifacts he had access to, the sturdiest was undoubtedly the Shield of Creation.

As for whether the Yata Mirror was damaged, it didn't matter for weapon forging, since in the end, it was meant to be melted down.

As long as its Array was undamaged, the same applied to the Spear of Longinus.

The reasoning for choosing the Yata Mirror as the first forging target was quite obvious.

Collecting the spirit of a True God couldn't possibly be done with a random box, could it?

```

The Yata Mirror's ability to collect souls was the most suitable for this task, which is why he chose to use the Yata Mirror to forge the first alchemical weapon.

Suddenly, the Yata Mirror inside the Melting Flame trembled, and Xu Yi's face changed slightly, as he suddenly had a bad premonition.

The array on the Yata Mirror flashed brightly and in the next second, shattered into countless pieces like a mirror.

The array transfer had failed!

Xu Yi's eyebrows furrowed tightly, the failure of the array transfer not only caused all his previous efforts to go down the drain but also rendered the Yata Mirror completely useless.

......

"It really is lively! It makes me want to join in!"

In Notting Hill, someone sighed softly.

A man dressed in a wide black robe stood in the shadows of the trees, watching the "lively" scene below.

Strange and grotesque creatures rampaged everywhere, while the students of Isotope Institute fought bravely.

The man also took a special look at the black cat in the battlefield, which moved swiftly, biting one monster a couple of times, then another.

He could tell that the black cat was extraordinary; it seemed to be devouring the flesh and blood of these monsters, then evolving.

"It would be nice to dissect it if I had the chance!" The man felt pity.

"With our current identities, do we still need to make contact with Xu Yi?"

A charming female voice rang out behind the man.

The man smiled silently, "What do you think our status is in the eyes of the Ring of Destruction? Collaborators? Or perhaps... domesticated poultry?"

......

Eight Monster House.

Xu Yi, looking at the "discarded" Yata Mirror, decisively burned his entries to exchange for mystical inspirations.

Mysticism revelation activated at the same time.

[Mysticism Revelation: When a holy artifact melts, the solid state of the array turns into a flowing liquid state. Relying solely on carving is not enough to stabilize the array. Why not try to draw inspiration from the "Flowing Array" technique?]

Forging the "Seven Deadly Sins" would not be a success in one go, especially in the exploratory initial phase.

Xu Yi dared to take on this seemingly impossible task because of the "try again" feature of the Resurrection Coin.

In order not to waste the Resurrection Coin, before time reversed, he would also burn entries to gain mystical inspirations, achieving "multi-use" of a single coin.

Time reverted to five minutes earlier.

The Melting Flame was still refining the Yata Mirror, and Xu Yi ordered the Ghost Samurai to stop because the melting point had not yet been reached, thereby the array on the Yata Mirror was not damaged.

He made adequate preparations, but the array transfer still failed.

He had been mentally prepared for this, but disappointment was inevitable.

Luckily, the revelation of mysticism showed him the way, otherwise, this point alone would have caused him to be stuck for years, or even decades.

Xu Yi took out the remnants of the eight-headed Sea Serpent, the outer shell of this alchemical machinery had been disassembled by him, leaving only the core structure inside.

The "Flowing Array" technique, mentioned in the mysticism revelation, originated from the core in front of him.

It was by employing this technique that the Ring of Destruction was able to steal the power of the legendary holy artifacts.

The so-called "Flowing Array" technique, simply put, makes the array within the holy artifact move.

When the array is static, bypassing the seal is practically impossible, but once the array starts to move, one can "fish in troubled waters".

In his spare time, Xu Yi also studied the alchemical machinery, and was familiar with its structure.

He analyzed the technology and compared it with the array transfer, gradually gaining insights, which brought a smile to his face.

"Boss! Someone's looking for you outside, says they're an old friend!"

Ailent suddenly appeared outside the forge chamber, gently knocking on the door.

With Notting Hill short on hands, Ailent, as the housekeeper, naturally could not idle around; he was mainly responsible for tallying the monsters' numbers and keeping records for each student.

An old friend?

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment; which old friend would come to find him at this time?
