Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

"Exactly!" The Black Hell Dragon puffed out its chest, trying to make itself look stronger. "Weapon spirits are all soul bodies, so when you hit me, it's all black smoke, no blood."

Li Chenqiu suppressed the disdain in his eyes and asked, "What is a soul body?"

"A soul body... um... simply put, it's the soul of a life. If the soul dissipates, that life will die." The Black Hell Dragon explained to Li Chenqiu as simply as possible.

Hearing this, Li Chenqiu immediately thought of the Resurrected.

The Resurrected had no other flaws except for aging and their glabella. Could it be that the so-called soul was located at the glabella of each person?

Thinking of this, Li Chenqiu pressed the Black Hell Dragon for more information, "Is a person's soul located at their glabella?"

The Black Hell Dragon shook its head. "The place where the soul resides is called the Soul Palace. The Soul Palace is a strange place; it doesn't exist within a person's body. As for where it is, I don't know either.

But every living being has a bridge connecting to the Soul Palace, like your Yintang acupoint, which is your glabella."

Li Chenqiu reached out and touched his glabella, looking at the giggling monster in surprise. "So, you're saying you just entered my Soul Palace through my Yintang acupoint? How did you do that?"

"This... it seems only I can do it. As long as someone's consciousness is blurred, I can directly force my way into their Soul Palace," the Black Hell Dragon explained obediently, afraid of angering Li Chenqiu.

"You really can't judge a beast by its appearance. You actually know so much?" Li Chenqiu said in surprise, the disdain in his eyes fading slightly.

"I learned it from some stone tablets in earlier years. It's nothing compared to you," the Black Hell Dragon said humbly, lowering its head, a far cry from its previous arrogant appearance.

Li Chenqiu cracked his wrist and rotated it. "I'm the kind of person who always seeks revenge for the smallest grievance. You burned me like that just now, even though I volunteered, I should still burn you back, but..."

"Hiss~" The Black Hell Dragon gasped, feeling as if it were bungee jumping.

It had now completely abandoned the idea of striking out on its own. It wasn't that it thought striking out on its own was bad, but it had no choice. It was either submission or death, and any fool would know which to choose!

Moreover, submitting to a mysterious and unpredictable existence seemed like a good choice.

Li Chenqiu sized up the Black Hell Dragon and continued, "But in your current weak and fragile state, I'm afraid you can't withstand my attack at all."

"Yes, yes, I can't withstand it," the Black Hell Dragon nodded like a chick.

"Forget it, seeing as you're so honest, I'll spare your life for now. Where's the Spirit Profound weapon?" Li Chenqiu reached out to the Black Hell Dragon again.

"Big Brother, wait a moment!" The Black Hell Dragon smiled kindly, then closed its eyes as if sensing something.

Rumble~

The earth suddenly shook, and the ground was like boiling water, with small pebbles constantly jumping up.

Li Chenqiu seemed to sense something, and he looked in the direction of the ruins, his eyes filled with thoughts.

After learning about the existence of the Spirit Profound weapon, Li Chenqiu was quite looking forward to it, because the Black Hell Dragon had described it in such glowing terms that he thought it was a very high-class item.

This illusion lasted until the Black Hell Dragon announced its origins.

Li Chenqiu couldn't imagine what kind of being could talk so eloquently and without blushing when praising itself, even if its face was black.

When the amplitude of the earth's vibration reached a specific frequency, a series of "bang bang bang" impacts came from deep underground, getting closer and closer, louder and louder.

Bang!

The center of the ruins suddenly exploded, and a jet-black color soared into the sky, as if swallowing all the surrounding colors in an instant.

Li Chenqiu raised an eyebrow and looked at the crescent-shaped blade, saying in surprise, "A scythe?"

It was a scythe over four meters long, black to the extreme, like a greedy black hole devouring the surrounding light.

At the very top of the scythe, a terrifying black dragon head was coiled, and a blade over two meters long extended from its mouth.

Strands of strange blood-colored纹路缠绕着锋刃, like a human heart, flashing on and off, constantly showing its location in the dark night, to deepen the fear of those who flee.

"What's its name?" Li Chenqiu asked without turning his head.

"Black Hell Divine Scythe."

"Black Hell Divine Scythe," Li Chenqiu murmured to himself, and with a thought, he rose into the air and came to the side of the Black Hell Divine Scythe, reaching out to grab it.

The scythe was cold and bone-chilling, but it was not a problem for Li Chenqiu.

"What a flashy name, Little Dragon?" Li Chenqiu looked down and called out to the Black Hell Dragon, "I'm going to change its name, do you have any objections?"

"No objections, Big Brother can call it whatever you want!" The Black Hell Dragon gestured with its forelimbs for Li Chenqiu to do as he pleased.

Li Chenqiu nodded in satisfaction. This little dragon was good in all aspects except for being a bit talkative and having a rather crazy laugh.

Looking at the scythe in his hand, a thoughtful look appeared on Li Chenqiu's face.

"Appearing at the same time as my Extreme Fire, and being as black as the abyss itself, with no end in sight, in that case..." Li Chenqiu grinned. "Then I'll call you Ember!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

The night wind blew with coldness, stirring Li Chenqiu's hair and the corners of his clothes. The four-meter-long "Ember" devoured all the surrounding light, leaving only Li Chenqiu alone.

The Black Hell Dragon flew to Li Chenqiu's side and lowered its head. "Big Brother, put your hand on my head to acknowledge ownership."

Hearing this, Li Chenqiu raised his right hand and placed it on top of the Black Hell Dragon's head. The next moment, red lines spread out from under his palm, outlining a star in mid-air.

As the light of the lines became brighter and brighter, a special feeling arose in Li Chenqiu's heart, as if a line connected himself and Ember together.

After completing the recognition ceremony, the Black Hell Dragon raised its head. "Big Brother, now..."

"Wait a moment." Li Chenqiu interrupted it and asked in confusion, "What should you call me?"

The Black Hell Dragon said somewhat awkwardly, "Mas... Master."

"Mm." Li Chenqiu nodded. "Don't think I'm humiliating you. Since you're a weapon, it would be overstepping the line to be brothers with me. You must recognize your position, understand?"

"Understood," the Black Hell Dragon replied somewhat sullenly.

Whoosh!

Li Chenqiu gripped Ember and swung it hard. Two white air currents swept past both sides of the blade, and at the same time, he opened his mouth and said, "Tell me about Ember's abilities."

"Ember's abilities are very special. Master, if you want to use me... um... use it to kill someone, Ember will suppress the opponent's soul for the master's use, just like my form, with a physical body, but when you cut it, it's black smoke.

Theoretically, Ember has no upper limit. The more souls it suppresses, the stronger it will become."
