As anticipated by Soul Chaser, the Artifact Spirit, after three days, the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod finally absorbed the entire Starfall Essence Crystal, leaving the massive celestial body an empty shell. The Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod gave a slight tremor, instantly reducing the shell to ashes.
Swish!
Sun Wukong dispelled the Divine Power Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth; this was probably the longest he had ever maintained it!
The Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod reverted to a length of over a yard and a width similar to a bowl's mouth, once more resting in Sun Wukong's hand.
In appearance, the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod hadn't noticeably changed, but the feel in hand was entirely different. Sun Wukong could even sense the pulse and vibration emanating from within, as if the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod had come to life. This was vastly different from the cold, lifeless impression it used to give!
Is this what an Immortal Artifact feels like?
