Valerian stood over the defeated cultivator's body, a sense of triumph washing over him. Recognizing the significance of the cultivator's blood, Valerian decided to harness its power and bind it to the Shadow Scythe. With careful precision, he collected the blood, allowing it to drip onto the blade of the scythe.
As the cultivator's blood mingled with the darkness of the Shadow Scythe, a profound transformation occurred. The scythe, once a symbol of darkness and death, now pulsed with an eerie red glow. The crimson light resonated with Valerian's own eyes, creating an otherworldly connection between him and the weapon.
The darkness surrounding Valerian surged, engulfing his entire body. The blood-infused Shadow Scythe responded to his command, transforming into a blood weapon bound to him through his unique bloodline. This blood weapon would serve as an extension of his power, a deadly instrument of destruction.
The creation of a blood weapon was a rare and revered feat among the vampires. It signified Valerian's growing strength and his deepening connection to the vampiric lineage. Legends would later arise, recounting the tale of the first blood weapon forged in this new world, an artifact that would inspire awe and fear in equal measure.
With the blood weapon in his possession, Valerian felt a surge of power coursing through his veins. The fusion of the cultivator's blood essence and the darkness of the Shadow Scythe bestowed upon him a formidable advantage. It was a symbol of his ascendancy as a true ruler and progenitor of the vampire species in Eternia.
Valerian's eyes gleamed with anticipation as he contemplated the possibilities and the legends that would emerge from this moment. He sheathed the blood weapon, now an extension of his own being, and embarked on his next conquest. The story of the blood weapon would be told in time, a testament to Valerian's insatiable thirst for power and his unyielding determination to reshape the world according to his own desires.
