In his past life, Qin Kong originated from Shenxiao Continent. Due to his supreme talent in the field of art refining, at just sixteen, he was recruited by Shenxiao Heavenly Palace, the most powerful sect on the continent!

Art refining, as the name suggests, is the collective term for elixir refining, tool refining, and talisman refining. Only those who master these abilities simultaneously can be referred to as art refiners.

Although Qin Kong lacked cultivation and was young in age, ever since he joined Shenxiao Heavenly Palace, he had personally refined a king Xuan-level top-grade Xuan pill and a king Xuan-level top-grade talisman. Each time sending shockwaves across the Cangfeng Continent!

On his path to becoming a top-tier art refining master, he was just short of one accomplishment... tool refining!

The Abyssal Dragon Ring was indeed the mysterious tool he was supposed to refine in his past life!

During the refining process, he used a drop of Abyss God's blood and the spinal cord tendon of three thousand Red Dragons!

In this world, based on Xuan power level, it's divided into nine realms: initial Xuan, entering Xuan, spirit Xuan, true Xuan, respect Xuan, king Xuan, emperor Xuan, holy Xuan, and god Xuan. Only those who reach the highest god Xuan realm are called gods!

The Abyss God is the strongest being in the ‘Nine Abyssal Underworld’. Traversing the yin and yang, standing proud above all celestial beings, his divine power commands all creatures to hide! The Red Dragon is also a supreme King Xuan beast in the 'Boiling Blood Beast Domain', possessing powerful strength to rule one side!

The ingredients themselves are already rare spiritual items of this world!

Once the Abyssal Dragon Ring is refined, you can borrow the power of the Abyss God to summon the spirits of three thousand Red Dragons! Its power is enough to reach heaven and earth!

Anyone who knows about this deduces that this will be a terrifying existence surpassing a King Xuan tool!

Unfortunately, during the furnace opening, numerous cracks appeared on the ring, and it never reached the final stage.

After much deliberation, Qin Kong concluded that the dragon tendon was meat and the god's blood was blood. For something of flesh and blood, it should be compensated with flesh and blood! So, he resolutely cut his wrist to use his own essence blood to fill in these cracks.

Despite the final failure, it led to an enormous explosion that cost him his life. But the subtle changes allowed this broken Abyssal Dragon Ring to completely merge Qin Kong's flesh, blood, and spirit in the end.

It can be said, "You are in me, and I am in you."

At this moment, Qin Kong utilized the artifact refining skills that he had mastered in his previous life and began to repair himself as if he were a magical instrument.

This attempt, indeed works!

The red silk threads, transformed from the three thousand dragon tendons, began to move according to his will—slowly replacing the damaged meridians and energy channels in his body.

"That's right, just like this!" Amid extreme elation, his heart started to boil: "The Underworld Dragon ring can indeed merge with this body! In this way, the problem of the broken Xuan veins can be perfectly solved!"

As the three thousand dragon tendons continued to fuse and intermingle, an overwhelming and overbearing aura arose! It felt as if being looked down upon by three thousand furious crimson dragons that could make anyone feel awe and even an impulse of utmost respect.

At the same time, a brand new Xuan vein slowly took form!

"Perfect, it's too perfect! This Xuan vein is simply flawless!" Qin Kong excitedly muttered.

However, he was determined to suppress the joy in his heart, and secretly calculated, "The Xuan vein is already repaired, but what would happen if I were to integrate this drop of Underworld God's blood into my body too?"

Being an artificer, he was always extremely curious about the unknown. This led him to irresistibly try to control that drop of Underworld God's blood!

He witnessed a faint blue glow explode in his chest, following along the path of the red silk, it transformed into countless rays of light dispersing in all directions!

In an instant, a desolate and ancient sense of darkness swept over him, and a terrifying coldness seemed to freeze everything between heaven and earth!

That moment, Qin Kong only felt every single drop of his blood, even every pore on his body freeze into ice! The newly formed Xuan vein composed of dragon tendons couldn't escape it either, getting completely devoured by the extreme cold. In that instant, a grand image of three thousand crimson dragons being entirely frozen over appeared unbidden in his mind!

It was as if time had also been locked away, rendering an instant equivalent to thousands of years.

In his previous life, the Underworld Dragon ring had integrated everything of Qin Kong, and now in this life, it once again became one with him!

When the horrific cold vanished, atop the brand new Xuan vein, a faint blue flame surprisingly started to burn.

This unique phenomenon plunged Qin Kong into a brief puzzle. Even if he searched through all the memories of his previous life, there was absolutely no precedence to follow.

"Well then, since it was recast using the Nether God Dragon Ring, let’s call it the ‘Nether God Dragon Meridian’! As for what magical properties it might possess, time will tell!" Qin Kong, having experienced no negative physical reactions, decided not to bother digging deeper.

Having a complete magical meridian, his next course of action was self-evident!

Cultivation!

During his sixteen years in this life, this had always been his ultimate desire and yet it was always out of his reach. When the memories of his two lives merged, this urgent desire became instinctive, prompting him to sit cross-legged on the spot and begin his cultivation.

As he took deep rhythmic breaths, clusters of white luminescent light, like scattering dandelion seeds, slowly drifted towards his body. They gravitated, quickly merging into a sphere of white light that completely enveloped Qin Kong.

These flecks of white were the Nether Qi of the world.

Ordinary people could only absorb this in minuscule amounts during their cultivation. It was only prodigious talents that could amass the Qi into a light sphere.

At that moment, the Nether God Dragon Meridian allowed him to easily achieve this state.

His breathing was steady, his complexion tranquil, akin to someone asleep. However, inside his body, the Nether Qi of the world flowed rapidly through the Nether God Dragon Meridian, sinking into his blood, fusing with his muscles and bones, strengthening him!

An hour later, he suddenly opened his eyes. His Nether God Dragon Meridian, like a bottomless black hole, instantaneously devoured all the surrounding Nether Qi!

The first level of the Nether Realm has been breached!

Just one hour, and he had crossed the threshold of cultivating Nether! For an average person, this one step could have taken two to three years of hard work!

He did not yet rise but continued in his cultivation. Soon enough, a larger white light sphere formed from the Nether Qi around him.

Three hours later, the scene of an hour ago repeated itself.

Breaking through to the Primary Profound Realm Level Two!

In the blink of an eye, another six hours had passed. With the rising sun, an even larger sphere of profound energy was rapidly absorbed.

Breaking through to the Primary Profound Realm Level Three!

Overnight, he had advanced through three minor levels! Such speed could even be considered comparable to those peerless geniuses in the Divine Sky Palace in his previous life!

Qin Kong stood up, without uttering a word, and punched the large tree beside him.

With a 'boom', the airwaves surged, and the thick trunk of the tree suddenly exploded. The tree tilted backward, leaves scattered, birds fluttered up in a surprise.

"A thousand-pound strength! So satisfying!" Qin Kong showed a wide grin and started to laugh loudly.

This kind of power was nothing noteworthy to him in his previous life. However, to him who had been useless in this life for sixteen years, it felt as if he had crushed a mountain that had been weighing him down for sixteen years with one punch. The sheer exhilaration was beyond explanation!

"There are only four days left until the end of the evaluation! I am determined to reverse everything during this time! Those who belittled and harmed me! Wait for my revenge!" His negativity dissipated, and Qin Kong’s confidence was like the secluded blue flame above the Underworld Dragon Vein, burning fiercely and growing stronger!
