126: Chapter 126 Bai Ze Reaches the Eighth Rank! Invincible to the Group for One Minute!

For Bai Ze, the transition from the seventh rank to the eighth rank was a long, transformative process.

Even with time acceleration, it still took a full two or three days.

During these past few days, aside from occasionally logging in to check the growth of his "leeks," Lin Feng spent almost all his time lounging in his villa, slacking off.

He would occasionally go out to grab a meal with Tang You.

From the girl, he learned that in the past few days, the tension between the Great Xia Alliance and the Blood Moon Empire had reached an explosive point.

Both sides were engaging in frantic skirmishes along their border at the Void Defense Line.

Every day, batches of low-level gods fell in these conflicts.

A full-scale national war seemed to be on the verge of breaking out at any moment!

Just yesterday, the Imperial Capital United Front Zone officially issued a Level 1 combat mobilization order.

The storm was brewing.

The dark clouds of war had completely covered the entire starry sky.

Clearly, the two major events Lin Feng had caused during the exam were the direct fuses that ignited this powder keg.

He wondered how the upper echelons of the Alliance military intended to deal with this catastrophe.

The only thing Lin Feng could do now was to frantically increase his overall combat power.

Only by possessing the hard power to flip the table could he protect himself in this national war, which was destined to claim the lives of millions of gods.

Tang Trading Group had now firmly secured its position as the number one chamber of commerce in the entire Alliance.

They had basically monopolized over ninety percent of the high-end material trading network on the market.

Whenever Lin Feng needed any scarce resources, he only needed to send a message to Tang You.

As long as the goods were within the territory of the Great Xia Alliance, the Tang Family could pack and deliver them to his villa door within half a day.

This kind of treatment was even more comfortable than being an emperor.

Lin Feng directly drew up a purchase list that was two pages long.

It was filled with top-tier forging materials that were rarely seen on the market in a century.

Bai Ze was about to advance in rank, and forging a divine artifact by hand was on the agenda; he absolutely could not skimp on good materials.

"You... are you sure you want to buy this much?"

Looking at the detailed list Lin Feng sent over, Tang You was so shocked on the communicator that her jaw nearly dropped.

The value of these supplies was an unimaginably astronomical figure.

However, Lin Feng was so poor right now that he only had Divine Power points left.

Since he had raided the family fortune of an eighth-rank powerhouse last time, he hadn't even spent a fraction of his trillions in savings.

Tang You had originally intended to waive the payment, treating it as a favor from the Tang Family.

But Lin Feng flatly refused and ended up settling the bill at the factory price.

He threw away tens of billions of drops of Divine Power without even blinking an eye.

Three mornings later.

Lin Feng was sitting at the dining table, gnawing on a youtiao.

A heavenly sound suddenly exploded in his mind.

"Ding! Bai Ze's advancement is complete! It has officially reached the eighth-rank overlord sequence!"

"Ding! Bai Ze's various divine skills and foundations have received cross-dimensional enhancements!"

"Ding! The host can now proceed to forge Bai Ze's exclusive supreme divine artifact!"

Hearing this series of good news, Lin Feng didn't even bother to finish the last half of his youtiao, instead slamming his consciousness into the Chaos Plane.

Above the vast forest.

After stepping into the eighth rank, the pressure radiating from Bai Ze's body was more than ten times thicker than before.

The holy halo surrounding its entire body was even more blinding and dazzling than the sun in the sky.

He casually glanced at the total attribute table.

Lin Feng's overall combat power had been forcibly raised to the terrifying level of 130 million!

"I kowtow and thank the Master for the grace of my rebirth!"

Sensing Lin Feng's consciousness descending, Bai Ze folded its wings and prostrated respectfully on the treetop to pay its respects.

Without the eighth-rank core that Lin Feng had poured in, it would never have been able to touch this threshold in its lifetime.

With Bai Ze's promotion to the eighth rank, its various passive abilities also received an epic-level doubling.

Among them, the most important was naturally the Divine Privilege that Lin Feng controlled—Immunity to All Evil!

This invincible divine skill had directly soared to the seventh-rank level!

Now, with just one activation, it could protect a full ten thousand friendly troops, putting them in a state of absolute invincibility for a full minute!

One minute of group invincibility!

This was absolutely a bug-level skill that broke the game's balance!

Of course, what made Lin Feng most excited was the qualification to forge a divine artifact.

In the high-level god circle, if you weren't holding a handy divine artifact, you would be too embarrassed to greet anyone when you went out.

"System, explain the forging process in detail." Lin Feng was eager to try.

"Ding! The host must collect top-tier ores that are 100% compatible with the divine beast's attributes, inject Divine Power to shape them, and then hand them over to the divine beast for personal nurturing and consecration."

So that was it.

This time, through the Tang Family's channels, Lin Feng had stocked up on a huge pile of rare, high-end building materials.

There was ten-thousand-year-old Ice Soul with its own extreme cold frost, molten essence gold burning with terrestrial fire, and thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood containing thunder...

Bai Ze's innate attributes were both Wood and Earth.

To tailor a magical artifact for it, he had to pick out top-grade ores with corresponding attributes from this pile of materials.

Following the system's guidance, Lin Feng carefully selected a few pieces of top-grade jade marrow and thick earth essence ore from the pile of supplies.

As for the appearance of the divine artifact, it completely depended on the creator's personal aesthetic.

It could be murderous blades, spears, swords, or halberds, or it could be shields or precious mirrors focused on defense.

Considering that Bai Ze was a super auspicious beast with a gentle temperament, making a big machete obviously didn't fit its temperament.

As a support, it had to have the elegant style of a support.

After a moment of thought, Lin Feng decided to hand-craft a jade seal capable of suppressing the four directions!

Mobilizing the vast Divine Power of the plane, Lin Feng forcibly melted these indestructible high-rank ores as if he were molding plasticine.

After hundreds or thousands of repeated tempering and purification, finally, a [Bai Ze Jade Seal] model, about the size of a human head and crystal clear throughout, appeared out of thin air.

However, right now, this thing was just an empty shell without a soul.

It had to be infused with a massive amount of Divine Power to fully activate the internal law arrays.

"Ding! Do you want to deduct Divine Power reserves to inject the power of laws into the jade seal mold?"

"Confirm!"

Lin Feng nodded heavily.

The Divine Power in his account flooded into the jade carving like a dam-bursting flood.

The previously dim and dull Bai Ze Jade Seal instantly erupted with dazzling, flowing light, and a powerful fluctuation capable of suppressing all things swept out!

The foundation was set.

Next, it was time to hand it over to the owner for consecration.

Lin Feng flicked his finger, throwing the glowing jade seal toward Bai Ze.

Bai Ze curiously circled the glowing stone twice, then opened its big mouth and swallowed it directly into its belly.

Waiting for the flower to bloom.

The final quality of the divine artifact depended entirely on how deep the foundation of the divine beast nurturing it was.

Simply put, Lin Feng was only responsible for providing money and materials.

The divine beast was responsible for endowing this piece of equipment with a unique soul and divine abilities.

The same ore, when given to a ninth-rank true dragon versus a ninth-rank loach, the finished products would be worlds apart.

Fortunately, the employees under Lin Feng were all top-tier ferocious beasts famous in the classic of mountains and seas.

The quality of the goods produced was absolutely guaranteed.

Nurturing was a slow and steady process; he didn't know exactly how many days it would take.

Lin Feng simply decided to be a hands-off manager and wait for the good news.
