The broken blades trembled, rising from the dirt as if grasped by unseen hands.
Everyone panicked but when they noticed I was doing something so they backed down.
Rusted weapons floated, twisting midair, rust flaking off like dead skin. The ores pulsed, responding to the call, drawn toward the swirling mass of weapons.
Then—
-SHHHHK.-
The metal collapsed inward.
The rust, the corrosion, the scars of history—they peeled away, stripped down to raw essence. It wasn't destruction. It was purification.
However, something was missing. A catalyst, like the Ninth Yin Heaven Shard, which was trembling at my waistband.
I focused on it, and it floated out of my waistband. All the metal and ores started to revolve around it.
I didn't even need to do much as one by one each metal started to get absorbed into the Ninth Yin Heaven Shard along with all the metal ores.
