C46 (1/2)

When Lanyu saw that Old Yun had suppressed the storm, she put away the Blood Devouring Heavy Blade and threw all of her consciousness into the crafting furnace.

The ingredients were all complete! However, he did not immediately begin to take shape. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and absorbed more than two hours' worth of spiritual energy before taking action.

A Xuan Artifact forged by a Grade Six Weapons Craftsman – Drainage! Form! Sculpting! Slicing! Slash! The whole process was done without any delay! Everyone was dumbfounded! This was especially so for Xiong Batian and the Keeper. Their mouths were open wide enough for a giant pumpkin to be stuffed inside! They had completely disregarded the person before them. Now, they were using their actions to viciously slap their faces!

Whoosh!

Lanyu gasped for breath. His entire body was soaked with sweat, and his body was covered in burns. But, he didn't care at all!

After crushing another low-grade spirit stone and absorbing all of the spirit energy within, Lanyu began the final step of forging a Xuan Artifact – Spirit Gathering!

All Xuan Artifacts have a spirit, and the size of the spirit energy depends on the artificer's own ability. The ability is high, the spirit is high, the ability is low, and the spirit is low!

To a profound artifact, this step of Spirit Gathering was extremely important; it was akin to bestowing the soul! A profound artifact with intelligence could resonate with its master's mind and display the greatest power!

Lanyu pushed her spirit energy to wrap around her right palm! The curved palm shaped into a blade slowly drew runes on both sides of the blade! The moment his palm made contact with the blade, his fingers immediately became scorched red. The excruciating pain as though it was tearing his skin apart caused his face to contort, but he forced himself not to cry out. Then, he bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence, allowing the profound artifact to recognize him as its master.

The rune that Lanyu was currently drawing was called the 'Fire Devouring Symbol'! It was a high-grade fire rune, and it had an extremely unique property. It could swallow other types of flames and strengthen one's own body!

The process of gathering spirit energy was extremely long and painful. Lanyu drew runes while also using her blood essence to endow the Xuan Artifact with spirit energy, the spirit energy within her dantian was rapidly being consumed. Although this process could strengthen his physique, that subtle feeling was far from being as real as the pain!

And thanks to Lanyu, if it were anyone else, including the chakram, he wouldn't dare to say he had such a strong will to resist to the end.

After two hours, the spirit stones consumed were no longer able to replenish the terrifying amount of spirit energy consumed. Lanyu had no choice but to ask Huangfu Xueruo for help. ”Xue Rou, transmit your spirit energy to my body!”

Huangfu Xueruo had long wanted to share some of the pain and suffering Lan Yu suffered with her two hands. Without hesitation, she placed them on Lan Yu's back and circulated her spirit energy, pouring it into his body!

With the support of her spirit energy, the pressure on Lanyu was greatly reduced! The speed of gathering spirit energy was much faster!

Lanyu's body was like a bottomless pit as it continuously devoured the spirit energy in her body, causing fine beads of sweat to instantly appear on her forehead. However, she was very clear that if he stopped, Lanyu's Xuan Artifact forging would most likely fail, so she had to persevere!

As the Spirit Gathering process neared its end, the natural energy in the cave began to stir! The whole mountain began to shake violently!

Kong Que's expression was aghast as he exclaimed, ”This is the sign before the Xuan Artifact was formed! F * ck me! This kid can actually forge Xuan Artifacts? ”

Just as he finished speaking, an earth-shattering explosion came from the direction of the Flowing Moon Valley, shaking the entire ground!

Old Yun's expression changed as he suddenly realized something. He waved his hand and commanded, ”Follow me to the Flowing Moon Valley! To form a seal formation! ”

None of the leaders said anything as they followed Old Yun out of the cave. They all knew that this Xuan Artifact forged by Lanyu had resonated with the one hidden in the Floating Moon Valley. If they did not suppress it now, they might not be able to keep the secret anymore!

After more than ten minutes, the shaking in the Valley of Flowing Moon finally calmed down, but the shaking on the side of the platform grew more and more intense. The sky above the peak of the platform formed a huge black cloud, lightning breaking through the sky, its momentum mighty and frightening, causing the crowd to flee in all directions, thinking that the heavenly tribulation had descended!

In the cave, just as Lanyu was about to draw the last rune, he discovered that he had lost the support of his spiritual energy! His heart turned cold as he thought, ”Not good!” Turning his head, he saw that Huangfu Xuelou had already fainted because of overconsumption!

Lanyu frowned. She was only missing the last step! Was he going to fail?

”Let me handle it!” Lanyu howled. He wasn't willing to give up! His strong will to channel his soul power and break through the barrier of the first level of the Martial Master realm!

Boom!

Perhaps because of just how persistent Lanyu was, that barrier had actually been broken by him!

Whoosh!

With the shackles lifted, the surrounding heaven and earth spirit energy flooded into Lanyu's body like a tide, nourishing his dried up meridians!

Lanyu was wild with joy! He did not dare to hesitate and immediately gathered his spirit energy in his palm and finished drawing the last rune!

Xuan Artifact Completed! A dragon-headed phoenix! The symbols were dazzling as they continuously circulated! Tyrant's Breath Test!

Roar!

The sound of the blade was deafening! A huge saber Qi flew out from the Heavy Blade that was a Xuan Artifact that was drinking blood!

Boom!

A huge crack appeared on the ceiling of the cave! Shards flew in all directions!
