Dig Up the Sun Emperor's Legacy: I Build an Invincible Undead Legion
Chapter 137: Inverted Chalice

Chapter 137: Inverted Chalice

The Fire Spirit, already in vessel transformation state, was completely oblivious to the external ceremony.

This undoubtedly made Carlos’s actions much smoother.

"Begin!"

Carlos focused intensely.

Moving rapidly around the secret array, streams of psionic energy shot from his fingertips, landing on various positions within the secret array.

Positions were activated one after another, connecting in a specific sequence until forming the strange outline of an inverted double-horned chalice.

The moment the strange outline connected completely, Carlos immediately closed his eyes and whispered.

Familiar praise sounded:

"Great ****, we beseech ***&#@@++—..."

...

Several moments later:

"Boom!"

All life in this area suddenly heard a mysterious ** voice emerging from the depths of their souls.

Along with this eerie sound, the terrifying shadow of an inverted double-horned chalice descended!

Immediately, incredibly strange seductive voices continuously rang in Carlos’s ears as chaotic thoughts flew through his mind.

It was noticeably stronger than last time!

Luckily, with previous experience, Carlos ignored these distracting thoughts like they didn’t exist.

His mind completely sank into the mysterious prayer:

"&##soul#&&..."

"Bang!"

Carlos again entered soul vision.

All of reality vanished.

Only vast numbers of strange light points rapidly swept past, yearning to fly toward an unknown destination.

Carlos’s soul seemed touched by these light points, faintly wanting to leap from his body and join them in heading to that mysterious destination...

"Stop!"

Carlos had a strong gut feeling that once he truly gave in to his soul’s instinctive tendency and followed these light points, his physical body in reality would become an empty shell, no different from death.

Forcibly holding back his soul’s impulse, time was running out.

Carlos immediately turned his ’gaze’ toward the Fire Spirit conducting the vessel transformation ceremony!

In soul perception, the Fire Spirit’s soul had actively opened its soul barrier and was continuously feeding spirit particles into Redrose Shield Guard #1’s soul.

Maybe because of Carlos’s command, the Redrose Shield Guard’s resistance was weak.

Maybe the spirit realm’s vessel transformation ceremony was indeed really effective at breaking soul barriers.

In this short time, Redrose Shield Guard #1’s soul barrier had dissolved by more than half, with the remainder dissolving rapidly.

Since the Fire Spirit’s soul barrier had completely disappeared, Carlos immediately ordered:

"Open completely!"

After hearing its master’s command, Redrose Shield Guard #1 actively opened its soul barrier, as if welcoming the Fire Spirit’s soul essence.

"Wah?"

"Wah!!!"

The Fire Spirit’s soul rejoiced, completely clueless about anything unusual.

It only felt its first vessel transformation was about to succeed!

It eagerly rushed forward to perform the most crucial step of the vessel transformation ceremony.

At the same time, psionic energy rose within Carlos as the mysterious whisper suddenly became urgent and powerful:

"Great , ##*&&&"

The Retainer Creation secret array fully activated!

"Boom!"

Above the secret array, a terrifying devouring force suddenly erupted.

"Wah???"

The world spun.

Redrose Shield Guard #1 and the Fire Spirit were helplessly swallowed into the terrifying vessel shadow in the sky.

At this step, the secret array’s most accident-prone stage was over.

Carlos relaxed slightly, focusing completely to continue the final ceremony.

Moments later, strange and bizarre sounds came from within the vessel...

"Rumble!"

"Crack!"

"Wah woo woo!"

"Creak!"

"..."

Compared to last time, these strange sounds were particularly dense, with bone-breaking and explosion sounds especially clear.

Carlos started anticipating what the newborn retainer would look like...

Time passed. The mysterious sounds from within the vessel gradually faded as the retainer creation ceremony neared its end...

"**!@##*!"

Suddenly, an extremely bizarre and terrifying whisper rang from the depths of his soul.

Previously held back distracting thoughts surged again, turbulent and overwhelming, seeming to completely drown his reason.

Just at this dangerous moment when reason was about to be lost, Carlos decisively bit his tongue tip.

Immediately, fierce pain stimulated his brain as Carlos’s eyes snapped open.

In an instant, all distracting thoughts vanished as if everything just now had been an illusion.

But the lingering pain on his tongue tip reminded him the danger had definitely not been an illusion!

Carlos felt lingering fear, but then his mouth curved in a wide grin.

Because that terrifying whisper was the successful finale of the secret ceremony!

Ahead, within the secret array, the terrifying vessel shadow above had dissipated.

A small fiery red creature floated quietly in mid-air with closed eyes and curled body.

Flames on its surface burned silently, giving an impression of complete harmlessness.

"How did it shrink so much?"

Carlos rubbed his chin, observing the newborn retainer.

Volume shrinkage aside, why couldn’t he feel any pressure?

Could the fusion have gone wrong?

Better wake it up first.

Carlos pointed with his finger, sending a thin stream of Dawn Flame toward the sleeping new retainer...

Just then, the new retainer’s flame nose twitched.

It’s you!

The flame mark between its brows rose as it suddenly opened its eyes, flames burning in its pupils!

"Boom!"

Terrifying fiery red flames erupted like a great sun blowing its top!

In an instant, the sky changed color, heat waves rolled, and the originally dim sky turned completely fiery red!

Terrifying pressure descended. Carlos’s face immediately changed:

"Oh crap!"

He quickly recalled all the Shield Guards while flame wings erupted, rapidly flying away!

"Boom!"

Terrifying flames erupted continuously, overwhelming everything.

On the ground, sheets of salt blocks got vaporized by this terrible heat, rising in wisps of white mist.

Air got distorted by this extremely terrifying temperature, scorching heat waves continuously expanding outward.

Countless flame serpents rampaged wildly, devouring everything around!

This terrible fluctuation was even sensed by Psionics way off in the distance.

"What is that???"

"Look! The... the sky is burning!!!"

"Such terrifying flames—the fire within my body is trembling!!!"

"Let’s go check it out—maybe ruins have emerged!"

"..."

The closer they got, the more they could feel this sea of fire’s terror.

Many Psionics began investigating toward the Pure White Salt Lands.

...

Rolling heat waves blew as surrounding temperature rapidly rose.

A pair of flame wings protected Carlos within as he gazed at the new retainer in the terrifying flames from afar.

Shock showed in his eyes:

"Haha, this is how it should be!"

His heart filled with tremendous joy.

Carlos’s original doubts completely vanished—this was definitely a powerful retainer no less than Purple Vortex!
