Clang! Clang!
With a wave of his hand, Duan Li took out all the weapons that he just bought from Na Zem Xi in the Cloud district before and piled them on the floor one by one, gradually creating a small mountain of metal.
"Hmm... while the rarity of these weapons are not bad and all Rare-graded, which should be good enough for normal people, its not enough to help my followers become invincible yet!" Duan Li said as he picked up the Katana. This was the first weapon that he bought.
The sleek design and thin width of this weapon made it extremely suitable for slicing an opponent into a million pieces in a single breath. However, he bought it not for himself, but for Di Rou, his personal bodyguard.
"Young Master, the All-Father Forge is an entity forbidden by the sovereign of Heavens themselves... using it would definitely attract their attention!" little sword reminded with a worried tone.
"I know." Duan Li nodded before sighing, "But unless we are to use it, then isn't it just a lump of useless metal?"
There is nothing in the world that could be gained without paying a certain price, and this was also true to using the forge as well. Even though this was the case however, the forge was badly damaged, and even if it could attract the ire of the Heavens, considering that it could only produce Ultimate-graded weapons at its current state, the punishment should be manageable!
"Let's go outside!" Duan Li said as he exited his room and moved to the garden. Knowing that lightning will fall onto him later on would make him a dumb boy if he stayed inside, unless he wanted to burn down the entirety of his residence court of course.
Swallowing his saliva nervously, Duan Li scanned his surroundings for a moment and after making sure that no one will be implicated in what he was about to do, he clenched his fists tight and willed towards the 'Heaven is blind' box!
"All-Father Forge! Come out to your papa!" Duan Li bellowed grandly!
Wengg!!
Three mysterious objects appeared in front of him as they released a prehistoric aura! By the looks of it, their age wasn't something that could be quantified easily!
A pitch-black forge radiating out blue sky aura, a crimson red anvil that caused the surrounding air to compress and a giant golden hammer the size of a grown man's arm, the combined values of these three objects could cause the entire Tian continent to become a bloodbath if it were known by the public!
CRACKLE!
"Young Master, the Heaven's Will has detected it!" little sword quivered in panic.
"Damn it! I hope it won't be too powerful..." Duan Li narrowed his eyes as he raised his head to look at the converging black clouds above them, lightning began to dance sinisterly within it!
...
"Eh?" The alarm is on?" someone with a white robe was surprised and scratched his head in confusion. He was just lazing around eating his noodles in front of the holographic screen when this suddenly came up.
"That's the automatic response from the Heaven's Will scanning through all the thousand mortal worlds below. It seems that something had triggered its detection system." another person came over and waved onto the holographic screen with several hand gestures, making the numerous information displayed on it being filtered out one by one.
"Huh? It's this world again?" they said in surprise.
It's the Tian continent!
It was just not too long ago that the Heaven's Will committee had their headaches of dealing with a mortal that could gobble up the lightning from the Heaven's Will as if drinking water in this very same world, and now something came up again?
Just what is wrong with this world?
"Hmm? Unknown object detected? That's rare... " one of them cupped their chin as he found the matter to be amusing.
The Heaven's Will that was imposed on the worlds of the mortal was pretty much automatic based on certain rules. They were derived from the cumulative laws and regulation formed by the Six Sects of the Heaven's Court and wasn't something that they can intervene.
As part of the Heaven's Will committee though, their job was to enforce phenomena that goes beyond what the system could handle, which would usually notify them on how to take action regarding it, and such was the case right now.
"What? That's just equipment to forge weapons and armors... is the system broken?"
Both of them glanced at one another in confusion.
Why does the Heaven's Will put on its alarm over such an insignificant matter?
Will it even notify us about someone taking a dump next time?
"I thought it was something interesting... whatever, just instruct it to do nothing." one of them indifferently said.
"Eh? Are you sure? Shouldn't we inform Elder Jun Xi at least? This is a matter on that world after all..." the other replied in dilemma.
"Tsk! Do you think that the elders are people with a lot of free time? If we couldn't even handle a small matter like this, aren't you afraid of being fired and left unemployed to live by the streets? I'm telling you, just ignore it! Look over there, another world is facing an armageddon right now, shouldn't you keep track on matters like that instead?" his friend said casually while pointing towards another hologram where people are screaming in fear, the battle of two mortals tearing apart their world!
"Fine..." he finally relented and decided to ignore the alarm sent by the Heaven's Will.
...
"Eh? Young Master, I think that... the Heaven's Will are not taking action this time?" little sword said in disbelief.
He knows best that the Heaven's Will will never give an ounce of leniency when it comes to upholding the law of Heaven, such that every single being will be judged accordingly, to the point that not even immortals or celestials were exempted from it!
Given so, why does the cloud of Heaven's punishment dissipated just like that?
"Hahahaha! It appears that we were worrying for nothing!" Duan Li heaved a sigh in relief.
"It's probably due to the forge being damaged that it doesn't recognize it as a threat anymore!" he continued.
Hearing this, little sword thought for a moment.
That shouldn't be the case... even if father can only shelf out Ultimate-graded weapons, its still a breach of rules set by the Heavens!
"Still, if what the Young Master said is right, then... I guess it should be fine?"
Duan Li scanned at the huge golden hammer with his Tetra Soul Sense, and he couldn't be more impressed by what he saw.
[Ding!]
[God Pummeling Hammer, even gods and demons will run away when they saw this hammer.]
"Splendid!" Duan Li nodded in satisfaction.
What an overbearing description!
"Heng!!" Duan Li gripped the handle of the hammer with his right hand, but upon feeling the weight of the hammer, his eyes widened in astonishment!
Heavy!
"Uwwooooohh!" Duan Li screamed as he tried to lift it up inch by inch from the anvil, to the point where all his veins popped out from his skin and his clothes teared apart by his bulging muscles that expanded rapidly.
Kacha! Kacha!
Slowly, Duan Li's clothes was now sleeveless, but he managed to lift the hammer up to his waist.
"Incredible..." little sword remarked.
One has to know that despite the miraculous results that will be produced if one were to forge weapon using the All-Father Forge, only the worthy could lift the God Pummeling Hammer!
"Young Master, you must lift the hammer above your head before swinging it down to hammer a weapon. Otherwise, nothing will happen." he prompted.
He had seen the Old Master using the forge innumerable times before to supply his armies with Mythical-graded weapons like a maniac, so he knew well on the correct method to use them.
"Raise it over my head?" Duan Li shook his head helplessly.
It seems that I'm going to be drenched in sweat today!
While the hammer was definitely heavy, he could probably swing it a few times. If he really tried though, even a few thousand swings will be doable as well!
Using his left hand to hold the Katana on the crimson anvil, and his right hand raising the hammer above his head, he swung it down.
Pengg!!
A resounding echo that seemed to contain the perfect tune seeped into the surroundings.
Pengg!! Pengg!! Pengg!!
Just like that, Duan Li continued to repeat this action again and again.
...
"Hahahaha! Brother Shen Murong, I truly have not misjudged you! That spar was like nothing I've ever had before for a training!"
"Hahahahahaa! Brother Wang Dong, you are too polite! You yourself are quite something as well! To think that such a method of training was possible, unless I saw it with my own eyes, I would never be able to believe it!"
The laughter of Shen Murong and Wang Dong filled the garden as they entered the residence court, their appearance filthy.
"Eh? Look over there! It's Brother Duan Li!" Wang Dong said as he pointed to a figure that was drenched in sweat and his arms exposed with bulging muscles, especially his right arm.
"Oh you are right!" Shen Murong nodded and called out, "Hey Duan Li! What are you up to? Why do you look so tired and your right arm swollen like that? Did you perhaps..." he stopped his sentence and then laughed out.
"Damn! I never thought that you have such an extreme hobby! Even when we fought before, you hardly even sweat, and now you are like this... did you at least make sure that no one saw you?" he said with a smirk.
Duan Li that heard this turned his head around and saw them coming over.
"Ah? What are you on to about? Can't you see that I am forging a weapon here?" he replied in exasperation.
I don't know why he smiled like that, but it makes me feel like beating him up!
