Back in the Dalin Universe, six months had already passed. Krune was now crafting the first Purple Flame Dragon Pearl. As he had planned before, Laex's one was the first. For this Dragon Pearl, Krune had Laex prepare several Blood Recovery Pills. As mentioned previously, the blood of the Dragon who is going to use it is necessary, and in vast quantities.

The Forging process would take at least a month to be over. Krune made sure to let everyone know that he wouldn't be able to stop during this time. The forging process required him to never turn down his flames, and there is a need for constant replenishment of Chaos Energy.

Laex arrived at Krune's workshop and went to an empty space that had been prepared for him. Right after, he transformed back to his dragon form. Seeing that, Krune nodded and asked.

"Are you ready? It's going to be a lot of blood."

Laex nodded.

"I spent quite some Spirit Stones buying a large number of pills, so go ahead and start anytime. For the next month, you can call me Blood Dragon. Hahaha!"

Krune shook his head and pretended that he didn't hear it.

The process soon started, and Krune brought out the materials necessary to forge the Purple Flame Dragon Pearl. The reason a dragon pearl used so much blood is that the power in the blood itself is completely absorbed by the material. A Dragon's blood possesses incredible strength, so much that it could even awaken a reptile type demon beast's long since sleeping dragon blood. That was precisely the power that Krune needed to fuse into the Materials.

First, Krune forged the Pearl using his Purple Flame.

"Alright, Blood Dragon. You can start pouring the blood now."

Although Krune had forged the Pearl, it wasn't the last time he did it. As the power of the Dragon Blood was absorbed by the Pearl, many impurities would come together. This would also make the Pearl increase in size. Krune's work was to reforge the Pearl several times during this month to eliminate those impurities. The Purple Flame would be heating it nonstop too.

Laex cut himself, and soon, blood started to pour down. Krune quickly used his Chaos Energy to force the Pearl to absorb the Dragon's Power.

"That's enough. Wait 30 minutes while I take the impurities out. Take this chance and swallow a Blood Recovery Pill."

Laex did as Krune said and then laid down.

Thirty minutes later, Krune finished removing the blood's impurities and asked Laex to pour more.

Soon, a day was gone, then a week. During all this time, Krune didn't stop to rest, neither did Laex stop recovering the lost blood. Fortunately, Laex is quite a big dragon with high cultivation, so his blood recovery speed could keep with the Forging Process. Of course, one thing is to recover the blood; another is not to be affected by this process. Laex was already starting to feel a little dizzy.

"Giving up already? Where is the so-called Blood Dragon?"

Laex couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't worry, only when I get at the brink of death shall we interrupt this forging process. As much as you need, I will provide to you."

Laex could already feel the Dragon Pearl's power, and it was more than enough to keep him awake.

Two weeks went by, then three weeks, and finally four weeks. Now, Krune's Purple Flame Dragon Pearl already had its full form. Not too surprisingly, other than the Dragon Power inside, it also had the famous Purple Hue over it.

Laex couldn't even get up anymore, he just moved his hand and poured the blood when needed. At this point, just staying awake required great perseverance from Laex.

"It seems like we will really finish it. There is only one last step, so I will only need your Dragon Blood one last time."

Laex forced a tiresome smiled but didn't say anything.

The last step would converge all the power in a single point, making it burst inside the Dragon Pearl, granting it a pseudo-life. This was also the most critical moment. A mistake in the control over Chaos Energy would make all the effort go to waste.

However, if there is someone confident enough with his control over energies, that one is definitely Krune. With his Chaos Meridians, it would be hard to find someone at his level even at higher realms.

"Alright, send it down. This time, I will need twice as much."

Laex felt like crying when he heard that. Still, he gritted his teeth and sent down the blood. When he finally finished, he completely lost consciousness. However, Krune just smiled, seeing that. He had really persevered to the end, and the blood received was more than enough.

"Converge!"

Using his Purple Flames, Chaos Energy, and even a bit of raw Purple Tribulation Lightning, Krune forced everything in at the Pearl's center.

"Burst!"

Suddenly, an enormous wave of energy rushed out. It swept quite a few of Krune's tools and other things in the surroundings of his house. Laka, who had been waiting all this time, immediately looked at Krune's workshop direction.

"Haha! I can feel it, it's alive! Or better, half-alive would be more correct."

Back inside the workshop, Krune held the Dragon Pearl on his hand. Looking inside, Krune was able to see the energy running around in a circle. But the impressive thing is that now and then, he would see small sparks of Purple Lightning.

"It seems like I was correct, the Dragon's power is strong enough to hold some of the Purple Tribulation Lightning. It should make its prowess move a step further. It was even able to hold a tiny amount of Purple Tribulation Lightning Essence."

Suddenly, Light Spirit complained.

"Hmph! Using our so hard-earned Purple Lightning Essence. Even though it is almost insignificant, it will still take more than a week to recover."

Krune didn't mind, though.

"Stop being so stingy. When I learn enough laws to create Purple Lightning Essence, I will help you recover it."

Krune didn't bother Laex and put the Dragon Pearl in his Spatial Ring. He would need to wait for Laex to wake up and recover first before testing it out. Krune is specially concerned with the Purple Flame and Lightning Essence powers that might be too much to resist. After all, the Dragon Pearl must be fused with its owner if the Dragon wishes to use its power.

Krune then glanced at Laex before thinking.

'Considering this idiot's personality, he will try the Pearl straight away before finish recovering. I'll better keep it with me for the time being.'

Krune exited the workshop, and Laka immediately appeared on his side.

"Ancestor! How was it? Let me see!"

Krune glance at him and asked back.

"Why would you want to see? It would be useless in the hands of anyone else other than Laex."

Laka's excitement immediately died after hearing Krune's words. Seeing that, Krune couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha! I'm joking with you."

Krune then took out Laex's Purple Flame Dragon Pearl. Soon after, Feifei and Fie also appeared. They had felt the energy coming from the workshop, so they rushed here.

Laka held the Pearl and couldn't help but feel emotional.

"It is definitely better, I have no doubt! I've seen and even felt other Dragon Pearls' powers before, and they were all similar. However, this one definitely surpasses any of those."

Krune nodded.

"That is good to hear. Anyway, you better prepare yourself. One month from now, we will start forging yours."

Laka passed the Purple Flame Dragon Pearl to Feifei and Fie before asking.

"One month? Can't we start earlier?"

Krune shook his head.

"No can do. I want to wait for Laex to recover and try its power first. If it turns out that it can harm you two, I will have it destroyed. My greatest concern is that the Purple Flame power will make your own energies go berserk. You might even explode right there and then."

Laka felt frighetened by it.

"Is it really this tyrannical?"

Krune confirmed.

"Yes. I even added a particular thing that should have increased its power. So you will have to wait for the test first. I might be wrong, but I think that Laex can defeat you with this Dragon Pearl. At the very least, if his energy doesn't go berserk, he should have power compared to yours."

Laka nodded seriously and awaited for the time Laex recovered. He, more than anyone else, wanted Krune to be right.
