144: Reforging your natal magic weapon

When the overbearing power originating from the core of the stars in his body finally subsided like a receding tide, Shen Yuanmo was utterly transformed.

He still sat cross-legged in his original spot, his silhouette unchanged in the slightest.

However, his originally fair skin now flowed with a dark golden luster, exuding a warm yet indestructible texture that seemed impervious to all tribulations.

A five-colored glazed treasure light subtly circulated around his body, as if he had donned a divine garment woven from Law.

A sense of profound, ancient power emanated from every corner of his body, making the air feel viscous.

The hall spirit's light projection beside him fluctuated violently, instinctively retreating half a step, as if the one sitting cross-legged before it was not a person, but a hibernating primeval Vicious Beast.

"Whoosh..."

Shen Yuanmo exhaled a long breath of turbid Qi.

This breath did not dissipate; instead, it condensed before him into a fist-sized, brilliant nebula.

Within the nebula, countless tiny specks of light flickered into existence and extinction, enacting the rotation of the Universe, before finally returning to nothingness after a long while.

"Is this... the power of the seventh stage of the Vajra Glazed Body?"

Shen Yuanmo murmured, slowly raising his palm.

It was a hand with a dark golden sheen, long fingers, and distinct knuckles, looking like a perfect work of art.

He could clearly feel that this Physical Body alone contained terrifying power capable of moving mountains and filling seas.

With a thought, he casually threw a punch at the empty space in front of him.

He did not use spiritual power, only pure Physical Body strength.

"Buzz—!"

Where his fist passed, the space in front of him let out a muffled groan, unable to bear the weight, and a ripple visible to the naked eye spread out.

Shen Yuanmo even had a strong intuition that, if he were to face an ordinary fourth-rank Low Grade Spirit Treasure now, without using spiritual power, he could smash it with just these two fists!

This was the terrifying physique, reborn after devouring the extraterrestrial meteoritic iron!

"Good! Good! Good!"

A surge of heroic spirit welled up in Shen Yuanmo's heart, and he couldn't help but let out a clear, prolonged howl towards the sky.

The howl was like a Dragon's roar, shaking the entire Five Elements Hall with a buzzing sound.

Fifty thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones bought him this powerful Physical Body, comparable to a top Body Cultivator at Golden Core Great Perfection; it was too worth it!

He stood up and casually stretched his limbs.

"Crackling!"

A dense series of popping sounds, like frying beans, emanated from his body. Each pop represented a surge of new power rushing through his limbs and bones.

"The improvement to my Physical Body this time is immense. There won't be much further improvement in a short period, so I can set the Physical Body aside for now."

Shen Yuanmo's gaze penetrated his flesh and looked towards his Dantian Qi Sea.

"Then, it's your turn next."

There, besides the radiant, perfectly flawless five-colored Supreme-grade Golden Core, a Flying Sword quietly floated.

The sword body was crimson, burning with blazing flames.

It was his Lifebound Treasure, the crimson sun sword, which had accompanied him since the Foundation Establishment Stage!

This sword had followed him through many battles and had long since become one with his will, as if an extension of his arm.

However, with his cultivation shifting to the Great Five Elements Glazed Art and the forging of a Supreme-grade Five Elements Golden Core, this purely fire-attributed Flying Sword was indeed gradually falling behind his pace.

It was like a loyal old general, striving to catch up, but ultimately left behind by the times, even becoming a limitation to its master's full potential at certain moments.

"Old friend, it's time for you to also undergo a complete transformation."

Shen Yuanmo looked at the crimson sun sword in his Dantian and said softly.

With a thought from him.

Buzz!

A flash of fire flew out from his abdomen and hovered before him.

The crimson sun sword let out a joyful sword cry, its body affectionately rubbing against his palm, the flames at its tip dancing merrily, like a child who hadn't seen its master in a long time.

Shen Yuanmo smiled, reaching out to gently caress the warm sword body.

"Don't rush."

He could feel that the crimson sun sword was happy for his strength, but also conveyed a faint sense of 'grievance' due to its own weakness.

"Soon, I will make you even stronger than you are now, and together we will ascend to the peak of the Immortal Dao."

With that, he flipped his wrist.

Clatter!

A pile of rare Materials, shimmering with various treasure lights and emitting astonishing Spiritual Qi, stacked up like a small mountain before him.

He reached out and picked up the first item.

It was a silver-white metal the size of a human head: Nine Heavens Secret Silver!

A fourth-rank High Grade divine metal obtained from the Blazing Fire Li Family's treasury.

The moment he touched it, Shen Yuanmo felt an unparalleled sharpness, as if he was holding a solidified sword light.

Next was a section of withered wood, as thick as an arm: Heart of Jianmu, a treasure of the Five Elements True Lord.

The instant his fingertips touched it, a surge of vast vitality, pulsating like a heart, poured into his body, making every cell in his body cheer with joy.

Then, a metal as black as ink: Nine Netherworld Iron! It came from the collection of that Netherworld Path Nascent Soul True Lord.

A chilling, bone-piercing aura of Death Qi assailed him, and Shen Yuanmo could even hear the silent wails of countless lingering souls within it.

Finally, there were two clusters of Origin essence, one like burning magma and the other like heavy earth, which Shen Yuanmo had refined from multiple fourth-rank fire and water attribute Materials using great spiritual power.

The sharpness of metal, the vitality of wood, the Reincarnation of water (Nine Netherworld Iron belongs to Yin water), the intensity of fire, and the profoundness of earth.

Five different attributes, all top-tier Artifact Refining Materials of fourth-rank and above, gathered together!

Their auras clashed, causing the surrounding Spiritual Qi to become chaotic.

"hall spirit!"

Shen Yuanmo called out in a deep voice.

"New Master, what are your commands?"

The hall spirit's figure quietly appeared.

"Guard me!" Shen Yuanmo's gaze became incredibly focused. "I will re-refine my Lifebound Treasure here!"

"Yes, New Master!"

The hall spirit respectfully assented, its light projection flickering into an invisible barrier, completely sealing off the entire grand hall.

Shen Yuanmo took a deep breath, adjusting his mind to a state of clarity.

He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

His two Heaven-Defying talents—Insight into Origin and Perfect Deduction—began to operate with a roar!

He intended to use these five top-tier Five Elements Materials as its bones and flesh!

The supreme Dao rhyme of the Great Five Elements Glazed Art as its meridians!

And his terrifying Divine Sense, comparable to a Nascent Soul, as its hammer!

To custom-forge for himself and for the crimson sun sword a true Lifebound Divine Sword that unifies the Five Elements and possesses infinite power!

Rumble!

His Sea of Consciousness instantly transformed into a battlefield of swirling Chaos!

The sharpness of Nine Heavens Secret Silver transformed into a platinum fierce tiger, the vitality of the Heart of Jianmu into a green wood azure Dragon, the Death Qi of Nine Netherworld Iron into a profound water giant turtle... The Origin Law of the five Materials transformed into five towering Divine Beasts, roaring, tearing, and clashing madly in his spiritual world!

But the current Shen Yuanmo was no longer the same as before!

"Melt... for me!"

His Divine Sense transformed into a Chaos giant wielding the Heavenly Dao, its giant hands opening to firmly grasp the five endlessly battling Divine Beasts!

No matter how they struggled, they could not escape his control!
