He left its central "devouring" core intact, ensuring not to destroy the spirit that gave Crimson Devourer its unique identity.
To push Crimson Devourer to Mid-Tier Heaven Grade, he needed superior materials to fuse into its devouring core:
-Netherblood Iron – Notoriously destructive, perfect for amplifying the weapon's devouring aspect.
-Dawnsoul Silver – Enhances synergy with the user's Qi, stabilizing the chaotic devouring energies.
He merged these metals into the partially molten Devourer, guiding them with Heavenly Tempering runes. The forging arrays glowed fiercely as they worked to harmonize the weapon's innate devouring spirit with the new metals.
[Careful—Crimson Devourer's spirit might resist if it feels threatened. Even if the spirit is in its nascent form.]
