However…
He was already halfway through the forging process. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Bang bang bang…
Li Tianming suppressed the thought of leaving in his heart. Then, he raised the large hammer in his hand and crazily struck the ball of liquid in the void.
Every time the iron hammer struck the surface, the air would vibrate with dao patterns. It was very rhythmic.
These Dao patterns contained a devastating power that lingered in the void.
In the distance.
Li Feng stared intently at those Dao patterns. If he wanted to reach the Destruction Rank, he would have to comprehend the Destruction Energy. Meanwhile, these Dao patterns were a manifestation of the Destruction Energy.
He wasn't the only one.
Luo Yunyang and Li Xingwu were the same. However, their statuses were very special, as they could often come into contact with Destruction-Rank powerhouses.
Furthermore, they had already observed this power many times, but they were still unable to master the power of destruction.
This was because it relied too much on comprehension.
Clang clang…
Time continued to flow and an hour quickly passed. The sound of metal vibrating constantly echoed in the void. The destructive power had already spread throughout the entire void like a spiderweb.
Li Tianming was panting. After tens of thousands of beatings, the dark green liquid finally turned into a small sword embryo.
However, at that moment, he did not have a happy expression. Instead, he looked at the two remaining divine-rank materials in the Redbud kiln with an ugly expression.
Then, he sat in the void and began to recover again. Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to do anything to the remaining two divine level materials.
"Is the refining process so exhausting?" In the distance, Luo Yunyang couldn't help but ask when he saw this scene. Without waiting for Li Xingwu to reply, he sighed. "It's no wonder there aren't many Smithing Grandmasters in the Great Xia Kingdom. It's too difficult to successfully forge equipment!"
The energy contained in the bodies of Destruction-Rank experts was boundless, but now that Li Tianming had forged a Sword Embryo, he had already shown signs of exhaustion several times.
Li Xingwu glared at him angrily. Don't you know why the Patriarch is like this?
For a moment, he couldn't tell if Luo Yunyang was really lamenting or doing this on purpose.
Then, he looked at Li Feng and was stunned.
This was because he discovered that a mysterious aura seemed to rise from the Lightning Gobzan's body. It was somewhat similar to the destructive power in the void.
This made Li Xingwu's heart tremble.
He had observed the patriarch's weapon refinement countless times, but he had never been able to comprehend it. At that moment, he was a little jealous of Li Feng.
Li Feng also felt something in his heart. He turned his head and looked at Li Xingwu. He had indeed gained some understanding just now. The Devouring Sword Force and the Demonic Sword Force in his body had a slight tendency to fuse together.
This kind of fusion was not a temporary fusion. Instead, it was a complete fusion that produced a new energy that could not be separated.
"As expected of the peerless prodigy of this era. It looks like I've gained quite a bit from just observing it for the first time," said Li Xingwu with a smile.
However, only he knew what he was thinking.
"Really?" Luo Yunyang asked excitedly.
Li Feng nodded and did not deny it as he said, "It's just some small enlightenment and some direction."
What he said was the truth. The fusion of the demonic path's sword force and the engulfing sword force was only showing a small sign. If they wanted to fuse together, it would take an unknown amount of time.
"It's already not bad that we've found the direction. Countless people have died at this stage. We didn't even see the direction." Luo Yunyang shook his head helplessly.
Leaping from the Awakened Rank to the Destruction Rank was simply the second transition to the Life Source. If he succeeded, his lifespan would increase greatly. Although it could not be said to be eternal life, living for 800 years was not a problem.
Li Xingwu nodded in agreement with what Luo Yunyang had said. After all, there was a huge threshold between the Awakened-Grade and the Destruction-Grade. Countless people had been stuck at this threshold.
It had to be known that in the entire Great Xia Kingdom, there wouldn't be more than a thousand Destruction-Rank experts.
Compared to the huge population, this number was pitifully small.
Clang clang…
At this moment, Li Tianming recovered to his optimal state. His palm struck the Redbud kiln consecutively again. Soon, a ball of blue glue flew out, accompanied by a cold chill. The grass on the ground began to freeze, and the stream slowed down, as if it was condensing into ice.
Bang!
The huge hammer smashed into the blue colloid, and the colloid trembled. A small portion of it caved in. Upon seeing this, Li Tianming was overjoyed. This was a normal reaction.
He thought to himself, "It seems that the Black Tortoise Ice Iron is too special. That material came from the body of the Black Tortoise and is extremely hard. That's why it's so difficult to shape. Meanwhile, this divine-rank material seems to be of a higher quality than the Black Tortoise Ice Iron, but its hardness is very low."
In less than ten minutes, the blue colloid formed a small blue sword embryo that floated in the air and fought with the green-black sword embryo.
In the distance.
Li Feng was a little disappointed. This time, the speed at which the other party forged the small sword embryo was too fast. Thus, there weren't many dao patterns produced in the void.
Meanwhile, Luo Yunyang and Li Xingwu did not have any regrets because they had already observed the battle many times and did not care about this one or two times.
…
…
In front of the Redbud Furnace, Li Tianming rested again. Although the forging time was very fast this time, he did not dare to relax in his heart and wanted to give it his all.
This was because he had suffered a setback not too long ago. Thus, he was quite traumatized. He didn't dare to look down on the Life Spirit Wood, afraid that he would fail again.
This time, he consumed very little energy, so he recovered very quickly.
Not long after, he started moving again.
Clang clang…
Li Tianming's large hand swatted at the Redbud Furnace again. However, this time, he swatted the furnace 40 to 50 times, but there was no reaction.
After the hundredth time, the blob of Life Spirit Wood was sent flying.
"As expected, I can't underestimate it." Li Tianming secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He felt that he had made the right choice.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't touch the materials during the refining process, he almost wanted to reach out and scoop out the juice formed by the melted Life Spirit Wood.
However, all of this was finally completed.
Right on the heels of that, he raised the Heavenly Dao Divine Hammer and struck it fiercely at the ball of green liquid.
With a bang, a large depression appeared in the middle of the liquid, causing Li Tianming's eyes to almost pop out. He was already prepared to fight a tug-of-war.
However, the process this time was shockingly smooth. After dozens of strikes, a green sword embryo had completely formed.
In the void!
The three small swords reflected each other. As long as they completely merged together, the creation of the Sword Embryo this time would be a success.
…
…
"It looks like no accidents have happened. We're only lacking the last step."
An excited expression appeared on Li Xingwu's face. This time, observing the Patriarch's weapon refinement was the most unforeseen event. His heart was also surging with emotions. However, now that the suffering had ended, he had finally reached the last step.
Li Feng and Luo Yunyang looked at him speechlessly. They really wanted to say, "This isn't the first time you've seen him refine weapons. Why are you so excited?"
