Divine King of Honour-Chapter 1504: Divine Radiance
After leaving the Divine Fire Sect, Xu Nian found a secluded place and entered the Chaos Divine Palace.
He planned to try crafting a Divine Artifact.
Previously, the crafting was stalled due to the lack of Divine Fire.
But now that he had control over the Divine Fire, it was time to attempt artifact crafting.
"Buzz!"
Xu Nian took out the Divine Bracelet.
This Divine Bracelet had lost its Divine Radiance.
Xu Nian planned to use the bracelet to attempt crafting ten Wind Attribute Divine Flying Sabers.
The effect of the Divine Talisman Dagger made him acutely aware of the role the Divine Flying Sabers played in battle.
If he could control ten Divine Flying Sabers simultaneously, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.
"Buzz!"
Xu Nian directly summoned the Nine-flavor Divine Flame.
Once the Divine Fire appeared, the surrounding space’s temperature suddenly rose to a terrifying level.
However, the frightening temperature of this flame had no effect on Xu Nian.
Xu Nian controlled the Divine Fire, enveloping the Divine Bracelet.
The Divine Bracelet, having lost its Divine Radiance, was easily melted into molten iron under the Divine Fire.
The molten Divine Iron, under the refinement of the Divine Fire, emitted an incredibly dazzling luster.
The material of this Divine Bracelet was called Cold Silver Divine Iron, considered relatively hard among Divine Iron types.
"Next, it’s about dividing this molten iron into ten parts and then condensing the embryo prototype."
Xu Nian muttered to himself.
This step required consuming a vast amount of Soul Power.
But for Xu Nian, it should be doable.
Soon, the ten flying saber prototypes were formed.
After condensing the embryo, comes the hammering process.
This process required the Artifact Refining Technique Xu Nian had been cultivating.
The Ten Thousand Divine Hammer Technique.
However, Xu Nian did not possess a Divine-level hammer, so he could only condense a hammer through Soul Power.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Then came a series of hammering sounds.
With Xu Nian furiously swinging his fists, continuously striking the hammer.
In one go, Xu Nian could manage two thousand eight hundred hammers.
Two thousand eight hundred hammers were already his limit.
It’s known that in the Ten Thousand Divine Hammer Technique, each hammer is harder than the last.
In the later stages, each hammer required twice as much Soul Power.
At Xu Nian’s Late Stage Immortal King level of hammering, two thousand eight hundred hammers were indeed the limit.
"This Divine Artifact is truly difficult to hammer. My two thousand eight hundred hammers have only hammered less than one-third. Let’s continue."
Then Xu Nian restored his Soul Power and once again crazily used the Ten Thousand Divine Hammer Technique.
Round after round.
Finally, Xu Nian completely finished hammering one flying saber.
"That’s just one flying saber, and nine are left. It seems the hammering of Divine Artifacts is still quite strenuous for my current Soul Level, but after these ten rounds of the Ten Thousand Divine Hammer Technique, my Soul Power actually increased by thirty percent. At this rate, it won’t be long before my Soul Power breaks through to the Immortal King Peak Realm."
Xu Nian said joyously.
Back in the Mortal World, he had used the Ten Thousand Divine Hammer Technique for Soul Realm cultivation.
It can be said that this technique is the most powerful Soul Power cultivation method Xu Nian had ever seen.
Now that he’s in the Immortal Realm, Xu Nian still feels the same.
It can both refine artifacts and enhance Soul Cultivation, which is entirely a win-win for Xu Nian.
With a soul breakthrough, his cultivation could absorb energy without any worries.
Moreover, his control over the Divine Power Liquid would also strengthen.
"Continue!"
Xu Nian made no hesitation.
He continued hammering the remaining nine flying sabers.
The whole process was long and tedious.
But Xu Nian was thoroughly engrossed, completely immersed in this blacksmith-like cultivation method.
"Thirty thousand hammers!"
Xu Nian exclaimed joyfully.
When he finished hammering the tenth flying saber completely.
Finally, his Soul Realm broke through to the Immortal King Peak, and his control over the Ten Thousand Divine Hammer Technique reached the level of executing thirty thousand hammers in one go.
"Master Ye Tian once said, if someone can perform ten thousand hammers in one go, they’ve reached the level of a Great God Craftsman. But now I still have a considerable gap from that level." Xu Nian muttered to himself.
He had many expectations for the Great God Craftsman level.
"It’s been exactly three thousand days." Xu Nian said to himself in surprise.
Three thousand days equaled about one month in the outside world.
It seems that to craft a Divine Artifact truly requires a significant amount of time.
"However, the hammering of the Divine Artifact is not the end. It must be infused with powerful energy."
Xu Nian thought to himself.
A Divine Artifact must undergo a baptism of powerful energy to manifest strong Divine Radiance.
Generally, there are two types of Divine Artifacts: one is similar to the Divine Talisman Dagger, imbued with Divine Talismans on the surface, absorbing external energy in an instant to reach the power level of a Divine Artifact.
Such Divine Talisman Weapons lack Divine Radiance.
The other type is the true Divine Artifact that possesses Divine Radiance.
The most direct way for such artifacts to manifest Divine Radiance is through nurturing with Divine Power.
However, Xu Nian had not yet reached the Divine Level, so he couldn’t use Divine Power to nurture it.
Before him, only six drops of Divine Power Liquid remained; five drops of Wind Attribute and one of Earth Attribute.
They were completely inadequate to nourish a Divine Artifact.
Thus, the only remaining option was another extreme method, using a Divine Artifact to nurture another Divine Artifact.
Undoubtedly, the Chaos Divine Palace could achieve this.
The Chaos Divine Palace was of a high level, nurturing ten flying sabers was no hard task at all.
"Dao Tian Rat!" Xu Nian called out.
The next moment, a rat appeared in front of Xu Nian.
"Kid, don’t think of making me help you nurture a Divine Artifact. Although nurturing these ten flying sabers doesn’t cost me much, why should I help you?" Dao Tian Rat naturally understood Xu Nian’s purpose.
"Tell me your conditions!" Xu Nian replied with a smile.
He already knew that Dao Tian Rat would refuse.
"Hmph, what I want, you can’t provide." Dao Tian Rat retorted.
"Just say it, if I can’t provide it now, I can owe it for later." Xu Nian said with a smile.
"You... fine, I want a wisp of Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Qi. Help me find it when you enter the Divine Realm in the future, and I will agree." Dao Tian Rat said.
"A wisp of Xuanhuang Qi for ten flying sabers? Isn’t that too much of a loss for me?" Xu Nian laughed.
The preciousness of Xuanhuang Qi is imaginable, as it’s the Mother Qi of All Things from the universe’s inception.
Such a treasure is cherished by even God Emperor Level beings.
So Dao Tian Rat was essentially acting like a lion demanding too much.
"Then what’s your condition?" Dao Tian Rat asked.
"Help me nurture a hundred Divine Artifacts!" Xu Nian continued with a smile.
"A hundred artifacts, that would require me to rest for ten thousand years to recover." Dao Tian Rat responded angrily.
"That’s not a loss either, a wisp of Xuanhuang Qi is probably worth more than ten billion years of your cultivation." Xu Nian laughed.
Divine Radiance on a Divine Artifact strengthens over time.
Hence, Dao Tian Rat hesitated.
"Fine, a hundred artifacts it is. If you don’t find the Xuanhuang Qi for me by then, I’ll skin you!" Dao Tian Rat said angrily.
With that, he took the ten flying sabers and vanished.
Xu Nian smiled, knowing that with the Chaos Divine Palace nurturing them, he would no longer have to worry about not being able to infuse his crafted artifacts with Divine Radiance.
Once he breaks through to the Divine Level, he won’t need to rely on the Chaos Divine Palace anymore.
