Chapter 928 - Seventh Cervical Spine (1/2)
But Zhong Yue didn't take the huge hammer, instead, he laughed and said, "Seniors, the weapon has not been fully forged still, I dare not intervene. Since it's a competition, of course the seniors should be given priority over me to forge a weapon."
The two old men smirked, "Those from the Xian Tian Palace are all boasters, even Mister Yi is no exception. Fine, we will make you lot die with our magnificence!"
Then, one wielded the hammer and the other controlled the bellow as the two old men continued forging.
Fu Li's face grew paler as he found that the two old men's ways of forging were filled with many abstrusities, one that appeared highly similar to his own cultivations.
True enough, these abstrusities were like his, but even deeper than Fu Li's own attainments in the mortal body. Not to mention that the Dao voices of the [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation] coming from the clanking of metals that weren't even in Fu Li's area of cultivations!
His cultivations came from the Leizhe Clan, an art known as the [Barbaric Divine Dragon Scripture]. The [Barbaric Divine Dragon Scripture] was adopted by the ancient universe's wild humans long ago and modified to make it more suitable for humans to cultivate.
The [Barbaric Divine Dragon Scripture] had the power to stimulate the sealed Leizhe blood in the humans, allowing them to awaken the powers of the innate celestial dragons. It was one of the most brutal and overbearing cultivation arts!
However, the [Barbaric Divine Dragon Scripture] was incomplete, lacking the most important puzzle of the whole art— the part that explained the Six Paths Reincarnations, missing the complete explanation and use of the Six Paths Reincarnations in this art.
Fu Li was already one of the most talented humans in the whole ancient universe and one of the strongest human leaders. Yet, he too was unable to piece the only flaw in the [Barbaric Divine Dragon Scripture].
Whereas the two old men took a similar cultivation path as his, although not the [Barbaric Divine Dragon Scripture], all types of cultivations were only different means of achieving one same goal. They would eventually end up at the same place; the two old man's forging skills gave him lots of inspiration about how he should cultivate in the future.
But that wasn't the reason why he was pallid. The actual reason was he realized the yet-to-complete weapon that the two old men were forging was in fact, forged to tackle him; his cultivation, his mortal body, his Yuan Shen, and his flaws!
That said, once the weapon was forged, it would hold the exact power to take him down in just one strike, a sure-kill attack!
Just how terrifying was it to know that there was such a way of forging exists in this life. That it could forge a divine weapon specifically targeted toward an individual, one that could deliver a sure-kill to the target!
The sounds of metal clanking were shuddering Fu Li's mortal body and Yuan Shen, even the secret realms and Daos in his body were shuddering as well. It was as if the sounds of metal clanking was reacting to the changes in him, then feeds the reactions back to the hammer so its wielder would better understand his flaws and weaknesses.
Beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead and his scalps were tingling. He knew for sure that once the weapon was completed, he would die, there was just no escape from it anymore by then!
How terrifying.
After a long time, the sounds of metals clanking slowly ceased and the two old men stopped forging. They took down a weapon from the anvil. It was round and long, like a needle!
Fu Li's eyelids were thumping and his hairs bristled. The feeling of a needle poking into his seventh cervical spine, through his brain, and out of his head!
The seventh cervical spine was located between one's neck and shoulders. Humans weren't pure Leizhe dragons, they also had the blood of the Huaxu snakes flowing through their veins.
The Hua Xu Ancient God was the first innate snake. And snakes had a common lethal spot which was the seventh vertebrae down from its skull. When a snake's lethal spot was struck, it would die.
The same lethal spot was also passed down to the humans. While Fu Li had only awoken the dragon blood in him, he had never cultivated any Huaxu cultivation arts. This made his seventh cervical spine, the equivalent of the snakes' seventh vertebrae, his weak spot!
When the needle was forged, he felt like it was meant to be in his seventh cervical spine, to pin down his Yuan Shen and pierce through his skull!
"How's the needle?" The old man who wielded the hammer asked, "King Yi, you can tell the marvelousness of the needle, can't you?"
Zhong Yue nodded in admiration, "Seniors forged a divine weapon dedicated to Fu Li. With just the rumbling Dao voice, seniors are able to forge a treasure that can ensure a top Creator's death, I can't help but admire. But there are four of us here, seniors only forged one, do you think we will concede so easily?"
The two old men exchanged a look and laughed together, "King Yi asks for a willing death! Fine, we'll forge another three!"
The sounds of metal clankings could be heard resounding over the space for a long time. The second divine weapon forged was a scissors, and Hundun Yu suddenly said while staring closely at it, "I can feel my life reaped by this scissors, this terrifies me. Fortunately, I have the divine tree with me, it can't cut my branches, else, I'd be scared to death already."
The old men heard him and quickly glanced over only to notice the Fu Sang Divine Tree on Hundun Yu's elbow. Their hearts skipped a beat as shock filled into it, they exchanged a look and the other old man sneered coldly, "The Hundan Clan has even sent out its monarch weapon, are the Hunduns ready to step in now?"
They turned around and continued to forge the next divine weapon. This time, it was for Yin Fanxuan.
To Zhong Yue, the Innate Saint Spirit Body literally had no weakness. If the two old men were to forge a weapon aiming for her weakness, they wouldn't even able to forge anything.
But to his surprise, with the sounds of metals clanking, a divine weapon was slowly forming on the anvil!
As time passed, Yin Fanxuan's countenance grew more serious. This time, the forging was much slower, but the Dao voices were still shuddering her mortal body and Yuan Shen, pulsing waves and waves of death on her face.
Time flowed unknowingly as the weapon's shape turned clearer to them. Its structure was complex. From the outside, the weapon appeared like a bell with nine status of dragons on the sides. The dragons' heads were facing down, their mouths gnawed on a dragonball each and their tails connected at the top of the bell.
Between the dragons were nets joined together. In between the net holes were contained various different Dao totems that were incredibly complex!
Yin Fanxuan sighed, the divine weapon was no doubt forged for her specifically.
The Innate Saint Spirit Body had no weaknesses, its strong and high affinity to the Daos allowed the Innate Saint Spirit Body to wield every Daos in the universe. Every skill to the Innate Saint Spirit Body was as good as the skills' ultimate form.
This was what made the Innate Saint Spirit Body so vaunted, but that too, was its only flaw.
The dragon bell was exactly forged at her weakness. When the bell trapped her in it, it would form an inner world of its own, a pocket world where the world's Daos were the Daos weaved in the netholes. That way, she wouldn't be able to make use of the Daos of the actual world. Instead, the Daos that she would try to call upon would only be absorbed by the bell and further boost the bell's power.
