145: Refining the second natal magic weapon

Three days and three nights straight.

When a brand new sword diagram, shimmering with Five-Colored Glazed Treasure Light and profoundly mysterious, finally stabilized and took shape in Shen Yuanmo's Sea of Consciousness, his face was already deathly pale.

"It's done!"

Shen Yuanmo suddenly opened his eyes. After briefly swallowing a Medicinal Pill to regulate his breathing, he flicked his finger!

Hiss—!

A wisp of Five-Colored Glazed True Fire flew out from his fingertip, rapidly expanding against the wind, instantly transforming into a sea of flame whose temperature was high enough to warp space!

Shen Yuanmo's eyes were resolute, and he waved his large sleeve.

The [crimson sun sword] floating before him, along with the mountain of five types of top-grade Artifact Refining Materials.

He swept them all up together and, without hesitation, cast them entirely into that fiercely burning sea of five-colored flame!

Here, he intended to forge a supreme killing weapon capable of sweeping aside Nascent Soul experts and dominating the world!

The Five-Colored Glazed True Fire was like a burning ocean, completely engulfing the crimson sun sword and the mountain of top-grade Materials.

"Buzz—!"

A mournful cry, not coming from the outside world, but exploding directly deep within Shen Yuanmo's Divine Soul.

It was the crimson sun sword.

Its sword body trembled violently under the terrifying high temperature, and fine cracks spread out from the spine of the sword.

The spiritual light flowing over the sword flickered, like a candle flame in the wind.

It was afraid.

It could feel itself being melted and decomposed inch by inch, starting from its most basic structure, by an irresistible force!

Having followed Shen Yuanmo through countless battles, slaying numerous powerful enemies, the crimson sun sword had long since developed its own spirituality.

It was unwilling to simply turn into a puddle of molten iron and vanish completely.

"Don't be afraid."

Just as the crimson sun sword's spirituality was about to collapse, Shen Yuanmo's ocean-like Divine Sense transformed into a warm hand, gently wrapping around its trembling spiritual core.

"This is not destruction."

The soft light formed by his Divine Sense caressed the crimson sun sword's spiritual core, smoothing away its fear.

"It is rebirth."

"You rose with me from obscurity and watched me slay countless powerful enemies. But the path ahead is wider, the Immortal Dao boundless. Your current body can no longer keep up with my steps."

Shen Yuanmo's voice rang out directly in the core of the Sword Spirit.

"I will bestow upon you a brand new life and greater power."

"From now on, you shall follow me to the Peak of the Immortal Dao, looking down upon the rise and fall of Ten Thousand Worlds!"

The Sword Spirit, which was originally struggling violently, slowly quieted down under this grand and sincere will.

It suppressed all its fear and handed everything over to its master.

It chose to believe.

"Very good."

Shen Yuanmo completely immersed his mind in this Artifact Refining process of re-refining his Lifebound Treasure.

What he needed to do was not gradual melting—that was too slow!

He wanted to melt all the Materials, along with the crimson sun sword itself, into the most fundamental Law Divine Liquid in this sea of flame, accomplishing everything in one go!

Rumble!

Almost the instant the thought arose in his mind, Chaos erupted inside the sea of flame!

The sharp Qi of the [Nine Heavens Secret Movement] transformed into a roaring platinum tiger, frantically tearing at everything around it!

The massive vitality of the [Heart of Jianmu] transformed into a winding Azure Wood Dragon. As its Dragon scales opened and closed, it continuously repaired itself, resisting the erosion of the flames!

And the [Nine Nether Dark Iron] was even more sinister, transforming into a dark black giant whale lurking deep within the sea of flame, opening its mouth to try and swallow the Origin of the flame!

The Origin Laws of the five types of top-grade Materials, like five awakened Ancient Gods and Demons, began the most primitive and savage struggle in this small sea of flame!

The flame was no longer the power melting them, but rather their battlefield!

The entire Five Elements Hall vibrated, and space was warped and unstable due to the impact of the rampant Law Power.

Just one day passed.

Shen Yuanmo's face had already turned slightly pale.

The Five-Colored Golden Core inside him spun wildly, and his magical power consumption was like a floodgate opening.

The second day.

Cold sweat beaded on his temples; maintaining the sea of flame was already making him feel strained.

The conflict between the Law Powers of the five Rank 4 Materials grew fiercer, even beginning to assault his Divine Sense.

"It's still not enough!"

"Relying on magical power alone is the limit!"

Shen Yuanmo's eyes were bloodshot, and a trace of resolute madness flashed within them.

"Then... I shall use my body as the fuel!"

With a movement of his Divine Thought, he no longer just channeled his magical power, but also guided out his Massive Vital Qi, which was comparable to a Body Cultivator at Golden Core Great Perfection!

"Boom—!"

Streaks of dark golden Vital Qi Dragons roared out from his limbs and bones, violently crashing into the Five-Colored Sea of Flame!

Using Vital Qi as the fuel! Using magical power as the kindling!

In an instant, the Five-Colored Glazed True Fire surged violently, and the color of the flame was no longer purely five-colored.

Instead, it shifted toward a deeper, more Chaos-like glazed color!

The temperature of the sea of flame climbed to an unreasonable level!

"Roar!"

The platinum tiger manifested from the [Nine Heavens Secret Movement] was the first to let out an overwhelmed wail.

A fine crack appeared on its Law Body, which was tougher than Divine Iron.

Immediately after, came the second, the third... Finally, under the scorching of the Chaos Glazed Fire, this arrogant Geng Metal Tiger let out a mournful cry and completely disintegrated!

It transformed into a puddle of Law Divine Liquid, shimmering with dazzling silver light, within which billions of sword lights seemed to be born and extinguished...

"Melt... for me!"

Shen Yuanmo's spirits were greatly lifted. Using his Massive Vital Qi and magical power, he drove the Chaos Glazed Fire to crush the other four "gods and demons"!

The Azure Wood Dragon was burned until its vitality was severed, transforming into a pool of emerald green Spring of Life.

The Dark Black Giant Whale was evaporated of all its Netherworld Power, turning into a drop of Dark Nether Heavy Water as heavy as a mountain... A full seven days and nights passed.

After the last portion of Materials was completely melted, inside the sea of flame before Shen Yuanmo,

Six masses of Divine Liquid, each of a different color, quietly floated. They were still distinct from one another and emitted Origin Law fluctuations.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, along with the purest Fire Origin manifested from the crimson sun sword.

Shen Yuanmo's face was as pale as paper, but his eyes shone astonishingly bright.

The first step alone had exhausted nearly seventy percent of his magical power and fifty percent of his Vital Qi.

He swallowed an entire bottle of Medicinal Pills, felt his dried-up Dantian Qi Sea fill up again, and a smile appeared on his face.

"In that case, the second step can begin."

His gaze pierced through the blazing sea of flame and landed on the six masses of Divine Liquid, which were mutually opposed and full of repulsion.

What he was going to do was not a simple Fusion.

But rather, seize its bone, mold my soul!

He would forcibly weave the most core Origin Laws of these six masses of Divine Liquid together, using the sword diagram deduced by the [Perfect Deduction] as the blueprint!

This was a process a hundred times more perilous than before!

Because this was no longer just Artifact Refining!

It was a profound application of Law Power.

Shen Yuanmo took a deep breath. His terrifying Divine Sense, comparable to the Nascent Soul Early Stage, instantly condensed into hundreds of millions of invisible threads, finer than hair.

He reached out toward the silver Divine Liquid that was transformed from the [Nine Heavens Secret Silver]!
