420: Five-clawed True Dragon, promoted to Ancestral Dragon

The furnace continued to heat up, once again reaching its optimal forging state.

At the same time, a figure wreathed in black lightning rapidly approached from the horizon.

“The Gun Emperor is here!”

The forging Great Masters cheered when they saw Zheng Yunfei arrive.

The furnace temperature was just right; as soon as the core Materials were thrown in, the second set could be forged.

“Your Majesty, may you live for ten thousand years.”

“Consort Wo, may you live for a thousand years.”

Zheng Yunfei swept in from the horizon, half-kneeling in the air before the imperial palace to salute.

“There’s no need for such formality.”

Qin Yang raised a hand to stop him, saying, “The furnace is in perfect condition right now. Quickly put the Icefire Heart in; there’s still a third set to forge afterwards.”

“Yes.”

Zheng Yunfei rose, once again transforming into black lightning, and directly charged into the rolling volcanic ash.

“His ability is quite a bug.”

Looking at the black lightning around Zheng Yunfei, Qin Yang couldn't help but marvel.

The ice mountain that Sealed the Icefire Phoenix was forged by Transcendent Tier Professionals.

Logically, with the current power of humans, breaking it open shouldn't be easy.

Yet, Zheng Yunfei could easily resolve it using this black lightning.

According to Lin Xuan, lightning is a manifestation of Annihilation power, capable of decomposing all matter in the world, which is incredibly potent.

“It seems the Gun Emperor’s profession isn’t Legendary Rank.”

“He was able to achieve Emperor Rank probably thanks to that black lightning.”

“I wonder if this kind of power can be replicated or transferred.”

Qin Yang analyzed in his mind.

Just then, He Zhiyi suddenly spoke.

“Your Majesty, the Formless Tai Sui seems to be reacting to that black lightning.”

Qin Yang was slightly startled and asked, “What kind of reaction?”

“I can’t quite describe it; it’s like a resonance.”

He Zhiyi’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, her expression unusually serious as she seemed to be carefully sensing.

Qin Yang didn't disturb her, but he generally understood what was happening.

The Formless Tai Sui was refined by Zhang Lingxiao, and the core Materials used in it came from the Annihilation Sea.

Those core Materials were very mysterious.

There was no name or description on the panel.

Zhang Lingxiao only knew that this thing had the ability to absorb matter and activate it.

It happened that when the Wildfire Rift erupted that year, Lizhou was engulfed in a raging sea of wildfire.

Zhang Lingxiao then used that mysterious Material, along with the flesh and blood of many fallen Gu Masters, to refine the Formless Tai Sui.

Since then, the Formless Tai Sui became the beast companion of every generation’s Tian Gu Spiritual Medium, protecting Lizhou’s peace.

By He Zhiyi’s generation, she had even developed the ability to use the Formless Tai Sui to open spatial channels, connecting two worlds.

If it hadn't been for her that year, Lin Xuan wouldn't have been able to enter the Wildfire Secret Realm to support him.

“This Formless Tai Sui is quite interesting; it can be developed further.”

“If this thing can connect to other worlds, then when conquering the myriad heavens, He Zhiyi will definitely need to be brought along.”

Qin Yang looked at Consort Wo.

At this moment, she had her eyes slightly closed, carefully sensing the changes in the Formless Tai Sui.

Indeed, when she wasn't speaking, she really had the aura of a cold goddess.

But during the Dragon and Phoenix Auspiciousness, she was much more lively, and her Moves were very creative.

That series of leg techniques gave Qin Yang a great surprise.

However, it was a bit of a waste.

Boom!

Just as Qin Yang was reminiscing, a blast erupted from the Dragon Heart Furnace.

The shockwave spread out in a ring, transforming into a fierce wind that swept the rolling volcanic ash towards the imperial palace.

The palace's defenses automatically activated, and an invisible barrier isolated the volcanic ash outside.

Qin Yang frowned, immediately using his “Emperor’s Voice” to ask towards the furnace, “Are there any casualties?”

A moment later, Gu Yu replied, “Your Majesty, no harm done. The Great Masters had set up defensive Formations beforehand.”

“Professional.” Qin Yang nodded in praise.

To forge these three sets, he had summoned all the strongest forging Great Masters in Shenzhou.

Gu Yu, the former chief forging Great Master of the Dragon Pavilion, didn't even qualify as an apprentice in front of these Great Masters.

But Qin Yang still brought her along, letting her learn from the Great Masters' top-tier forging.

“Your Majesty, the second set has already been released from the furnace; you can come over now.” Gu Yu transmitted her voice again.

“I know.”

Qin Yang responded in his mind, then floated up and headed towards the rolling volcanic ash.

Arriving before the mushroom cloud-shaped volcanic ash, he condensed the Hand of Imperial Authority.

As the massive invisible hand stirred, large swathes of dense volcanic ash were dispersed, revealing the volcanic furnace below.

The magma still boiled and surged.

At the crater, two sets of armor glowing with red light floated.

One set in red and black, the other in orange and yellow, both had already taken shape.

Full-level red-grade equipment exuded an inherent pressure, and the forging Great Masters below dared not look directly at them.

But from the excited gazes of the forging Great Masters, it was clear.

These two sets of equipment had already become their Peak achievement.

From the establishment to the demise of the Jiuzhou Federation, no full-level red-grade sets had ever been born.

Even the red-grade equipment on Emperor Tier individuals was not full-level.

The birth of these two red-grade sets had already rewritten the history of Shenzhou.

However, today, another red-grade set would be born.

The core Material required for this set of equipment was the Dragon Soul of an Eastern Dragon.

Which meant.

To successfully forge it, a Dragon Soul had to be stripped from the body of a Dragon Fist Master.

Dragon Fist Master is an Epic-Rank profession, its rarity second only to Legendary-Rank.

And those who Awaken Epic-Rank professions can basically become Monarch Tier powerhouses.

For anyone else, the cost of forging this set of equipment would be considerable.

But for Qin Yang.

Dragon Souls? He had plenty.

Roar!

A high-pitched Dragon roar sounded.

An Eastern Dragon, as if cast from gold, appeared amidst the swirling volcanic ash in the sky.

Its massive size was such that even looking up from afar, it couldn't be framed within one's sight.

“Five-Clawed True Dragon, ascend to Ancestral Dragon.”

As Qin Yang pointed a finger, the golden Eastern Dragon unhesitatingly spiraled down and plunged into the scorching magma.

Instantly, the orange-red magma turned golden.

It was like molten gold, or perhaps the blood of a god.

Splash!

The golden magma was stirred by the Dragon Soul’s Qi,

Poured onto the colorless battle robe, already faintly revealing Dragon lines patterns.

“Dragon Soul in place, Great Masters, begin forging the third set!”

Below, Gu Yu’s voice rang out.

All the forging Great Masters exerted their power simultaneously, activating the forging Formation that enveloped the entire volcano.

Rumble rumble!

Accompanied by bursts of roaring.

Golden magma gushed from the crater, surging down the mountain, crashing against the “dam” formed by the Formless Tai Sui.

In an instant, the mountain of flesh that was the Formless Tai Sui trembled, and one opening after another appeared on it, greedily devouring the golden magma.

Seeing this, Qin Yang was slightly startled.

He knew that the Formless Tai Sui passively absorbed fire elements.

But now, it seemed this mountain of flesh wasn't passive, but active.

It seemed to be sensing his True Dragon Breath.

Qin Yang was just speculating in his mind.

The volcano crater already burst forth with ten thousand rays of golden light, illuminating the volcanic ash above, making it as translucent as amber.

At the same time, the cheers of the forging Great Masters came.

The third full-level red-grade set, forging complete!
