Ding ding ding...
The familiar sound of hammering echoed again in the weapon-forging room.
However, unlike before, this time they were using first-grade materials and refining a divine artifact.
hiss—
Nearby, hundreds of fireballs were also working hard to melt other materials.
Creating a divine artifact is no easy feat.
Fortunately, there were hundreds of fireballs to help; otherwise, it would have taken Lu Tao an extremely long time to forge a divine weapon on his own.
certainly.
Even without hundreds of fireballs, Lu Tao could still summon disciples of the Immortal Sect to help.
all in all.
For Lu Tao, crafting such a troublesome task was extremely easy.
Especially with the forging technique, once you've maxed out the skill points, it's incredibly easy.
Time passes—
Plain gold, brocade soil, celestial jade...
One by one, first- and second-grade materials were melted down, and then, under Lu Tao's control, fused and forged...
Gradually, a three-foot-long sword was forged.
Buzz!
The moment the longsword took shape, an astonishing aura emanated from it, and even Lu Tao felt suffocated by this aura.
【Demon-Slaying Sword: 0/100 trillion (First-tier mid-grade divine artifact, has developed sentience, powerful and capable of easily slaying demon gods.
Special effect: Shattered body.
It can easily shatter the flesh of a demon beast, even the hardest part of its body.
Note: The current artifact is only a mid-grade first-tier artifact. If a demon god's physical body is strong enough to reach the peak of the Martial God realm, it can injure the demon god, but breaking it will take time. Its power is even greater when combined with martial arts techniques.
"Hmm, not bad. Although it's only a mid-grade divine artifact, with the right martial arts techniques, it should be no problem to kill a Martial God at the peak of his cultivation."
Lu Tao was quite satisfied with the Demon-Slaying Sword.
but.
The only regret is that its grade is not high, only a mid-grade first rank.
It's not that Lu Tao's skills are lacking; it's just that the highest forging method he obtained from the Daqian royal family could only produce mid-grade divine artifacts.
seem.
Even with great effort, it's impossible to create a top-grade artifact.
Lu Tao guessed that this might be related to the scarcity of Tier 1 materials, as predecessors had no opportunity to attempt to forge superior artifacts.
Buzz!
at this time.
The Demon-Slaying Sword emitted a series of tremors, as if it were eager to do something.
Lu Tao pushed the Demon-Slaying Sword aside and said, "Wait a bit before undergoing the tribulation. Just bear with it for now."
"Yes, Master."
Helpless, the Demon-Slaying Sword could only wait aside, watching its master continue to forge other divine artifacts.
that's all.
With the help of hundreds of fireballs, one magical artifact after another was created.
【Godslayer Blade: 0/100 trillion (First-tier mid-grade divine artifact, has developed sentience, and is incomparably powerful, capable of easily slaughtering martial gods.)
Special effect: Shield breaking.
It can easily break through the various martial arts shields of a Martial God, even the divine power shield created by a mid-grade Heaven-rank martial art.
but.
(A high-grade Heavenly Rank divine power shield; to break it, one needs to combine it with a divine power of the same rank.)
"Holy crap, this artifact feels even more terrifying than the Demon-Slaying Sword!"
Lu Tao was somewhat surprised as he read the description of the God-Slaying Blade.
Combined with a top-tier Heavenly Rank divine ability, it can shatter a top-tier Heavenly Tribulation divine ability shield. This means that the powerful shields of the demon race and other races will be rendered ineffective under the God-Slaying Blade.
certainly.
It's hard to say how long it will take.
After all, the God-Slaying Blade is only a mid-grade divine artifact.
【Demon-Slaying Sword: 0/10 trillion (First-tier low-grade divine artifact, has developed sentience, its power is decent, capable of slaying demon gods.)
Special effect: Demon annihilation.
It can mainly extinguish demonic energy, making it relatively effective against demonic cultivators. It can easily shatter all kinds of supernatural abilities of demonic cultivators, whether in attack or defense.
Note: The current Demon-Slaying Sword is of relatively low grade. It is extremely effective against early and mid-stage Demon Gods, but its effect is not significant against late-stage or Perfected Demon Gods, unless combined with high-level divine abilities.
"Although it is of low rank, it can restrain demonic cultivators and even their attack techniques. Its effect is comparable to the power of the other two divine artifacts."
The Demon-Slaying Sword is practically made for slaying demons.
By suppressing demonic energy, one can suppress all feelings of demonic cultivation.
Both offensive and defensive supernatural powers are greatly diminished in the face of the Demon-Slaying Sword.
A martial god wielding a demon-slaying sword has a natural advantage over demons and demonic cultivators.
In view of this.
Lu Tao forged dozens more demon-slaying swords, but they were not divine weapons; instead, they were low-level weapons made from second-tier materials.
After upgrading, it will be elevated to a Tier 2 low-grade weapon. Although its power is not comparable to the divine weapon Demon-Slaying Sword, it should be quite effective against early-stage Demon Gods.
At least.
Killing a Demon King-level expert from the Demon Clan should be a piece of cake.
【Blessing Bell: 0/100 trillion (First-tier mid-grade divine artifact, has developed intelligence, possesses strong defensive capabilities, and can protect the God of War)
Special effect: Bless the Gods.
It can gather the power of the gods to enhance the defensive capabilities of the Divine Bell and increase the strength of the shield. It can not only defend against ordinary divine attacks, but also resist attacks on the soul.
Note: The current level is low; even with the combined power of all the gods, it can only withstand the combined attacks of fifty Martial Gods at the Perfected level for a maximum of one day.
"Unfortunately, it's only a mid-grade divine artifact."
Lu Tao felt somewhat regretful.
The effects of a mid-grade Blessing Bell are already quite exaggerated, but there are too many enemies in the Outer Heavens, thousands of Martial Gods, and one Blessing Bell is not enough.
Therefore.
Lu Tao then crafted another defensive artifact...
Fortunately, Lu Tao gained a lot from this overseas trip; otherwise, it would have been impossible to create so many magical artifacts.
The most important thing in crafting a divine weapon is the materials.
Lacking materials, forging a divine artifact is like a skilled cook trying to cook without rice.
At least for Da Gan, that's the case.
They had already comprehended the forging method on the altar, but due to the limited materials available, they could not forge many divine artifacts.
This time.
Lu Tao crafted more than ten divine artifacts and sixty second-tier low-grade demon-slaying swords in one go, almost exhausting all the level one materials he had collected during his overseas trip.
Only a few special materials remained unused.
For example, the Earth's Core Jade Mother.
"call……"
In the weapon-refining room, Lu Tao let out a long breath and stretched.
Even though he was already a Martial King, he still felt somewhat tired after focusing so intently on forging more than ten divine artifacts in two hours.
After circulating his energy for several cycles and recovering his strength, Lu Tao left the cave.
Upon seeing Lu Tao appear, Seventh Master hurriedly asked, "Lu Tao, how is he?"
"I have successfully completed my mission."
Lu Tao nodded with a smile and said, "However, divine artifacts need to undergo tribulation, so it is not advisable to take them out now."
"That's natural. Let's go to the secret realm to undergo our tribulation."
Seventh Master nodded in understanding and was about to fly to the secret realm when he suddenly remembered that there was still someone in the main hall. He hurriedly asked, "Lu Tao, look at him, is he alright now?"
As he spoke, Seventh Master pointed at Gu Shengjie.
For the past two hours, Gu Shengjie has been devoutly worshipping the statue, meticulous in every detail.
Seventh Master still hopes that he can succeed and, after advancing to the Martial God level, he can also contribute to the great cause.
and.
He also needs to take the artifact to the outer heavens.
Lu Tao glanced at the statue of the wishing deity and nodded, saying, "It's ready."
"Very good."
Seventh Master was overjoyed and immediately took out a Breakthrough Pill and handed it to Gu Shengjie, asking him to make a wish.
"Thank you, Seventh Master. Thank you, Sect Leader Lu."
Gu Shengjie excitedly accepted the Breakthrough Pill and bowed to the two of them in gratitude.
immediately.
Gu Shengjie paid homage to the statue of Lu Tao once again, and prayed in his heart as he did so.
"Alright, let's go to the secret realm."
Lu Tao nodded.
Then, the three of them flew together towards the secret realm.
During the journey, Lu Tao asked, "Seventh Master, is the range of a divine artifact's tribulation also around two thousand miles?"
"That's right. Weapons and cultivators are almost the same, regardless of the type of tribulation."
Hearing Lu Tao's question, Seventh Master became even more convinced that Lu Tao was not a reincarnation of a powerful being from the divine realm, but was truly gifted.
Seventh Master Lu Tao explained: "The tribulation of divine artifacts, whether in terms of the number of heavenly lightning bolts or the range of the tribulation, is similar to that of cultivators. However, cultivators are judged by their talent and foundation, while divine artifacts are judged by their materials and the artifact's abilities."
"I see."
Lu Tao nodded; it was pretty much what he had guessed.
Chatting along the way, the three soon arrived at the secret realm.
Just as Seventh Master was about to instruct Gu Shengjie to choose a place to undergo his tribulation, he heard Lu Tao say, "Brother Gu, you should go over there to undergo your tribulation, try to be as close to the edge of the secret realm as possible."
Why is that?
Seventh Master was puzzled.
The secret realm is vast, and since only Gu Shengjie and the divine artifact are undergoing tribulation, there is no need for such measures.
Lu Tao laughed and said, "I've crafted quite a few divine artifacts."
"A bit too much?"
Upon hearing this, both Seventh Master and Gu Shengjie were startled. Then, Seventh Master felt his blood boil and asked in a trembling voice, "Yes, how much?"
Lu Tao said casually, "About ten items."
"Hiss..."
Upon hearing this, Seventh Master and Gu Shengjie gasped in shock, staring at Lu Tao in disbelief.
In just over two hours, more than ten magical artifacts were forged?
Is this something a human can do?
Even a martial god couldn't do it.
How exactly did Lu Tao manage to forge more than ten divine artifacts in just two hours?
Both were filled with doubt, but wisely refrained from asking.
"With these ten or so divine artifacts, my strength will increase dramatically."
Seventh Master was very excited and urged, "Quickly, undergo the tribulation! Undergo the tribulation!"
"Seventh Master, Brother Lu, see you later."
Gu Shengjie took his leave and, following Lu Tao's instructions, went to the edge of the secret realm to prepare for his tribulation.
This way.
Lu Tao then took out three divine artifacts, two second-tier demon-slaying swords, and sent them to undergo tribulation.
Seeing this, Seventh Master said with a complicated expression, "Lu Tao, you... are truly the chosen one of heaven and earth, it's truly unbelievable."
"Seventh Master is too kind."
Lu Tao chuckled and watched the divine artifact undergo its tribulation.
As Seventh Master said, the tribulation of divine artifacts is not much different from that of cultivators.
After reading it once.
Lu Tao lost interest in watching any longer, apologized to Seventh Master, and returned to his cave to start adding points to his cultivation technique.
But Lu Tao did not leave the secret realm.
