From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 920 - 532: Demigod Weapon
The nuclear furnace ignited, providing heat for the forging furnace.
"Phase one begins!"
The mechanical lord assembled from nanorobots extended its mechanical arm to place the enormous [Star Realm Sawtooth] into the furnace.
The temperature of the light blue metal rose rapidly upon contact with the high heat, and its surface began to melt slowly.
Master Gulu activated the runes on the forging furnace.
Twelve obsidian pillars simultaneously emitted light chains, weaving into a hexagram pattern above the furnace.
The Star Realm Sawtooth began to accelerate its melting, with pearl-like crystalline droplets seeping from its surface.
This refining process would cause many materials on the Star Realm Sawtooth to burn and become scrap.
This is a normal melting loss and is unavoidable.
Moreover, the refining program is precisely calculated so that the parts that are consumed are either relatively low in value or cannot be retained.
"Material separation at 78%...85%..." Xavier Matrix’s holographic image reported progress, "Detection of Star Realm Crystal extraction!"
The scene inside the furnace became magical, with metal and transparent crystals tearing like invisible satin, reflecting brilliant light and shadows.
Master Gulu suddenly removed his shirt, revealing a chest covered in burn scars, preparing for the next step of forging.
After the liquid Star Realm Crystal was extracted, Master Gulu used tools to withdraw this material and place it in a cooling box for cooling.
The cooling box, provided by Xavier Matrix, used rapid liquid nitrogen cooling, quickly cooling the liquid Star Realm Crystal below zero, forming a solid crystal block.
Subsequently, other materials also decomposed in succession, ultimately resulting in seven different materials.
"Phase one completion 100%." Xavier Matrix reported the forging progress, then deployed three redesigned 3D models of the Aurora Blade, asking, "Lu Heng, choose a mold, prepare for the forging stage now."
The three 3D Aurora Blade models displayed in the hologram all looked extraordinary.
The three Aurora Blade models weren’t randomly designed; different shapes had subtle differences.
Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, thinking that this choice of design draft should have been discussed beforehand, yet it was being selected during the process.
However, all three plans were calculated and not inferior.
After observing the differences in the three models, Lu Heng chose one, saying, "Let’s go with this one."
Master Gulu picked up the Aurora Blade, placed it in the forging furnace, and fused it with the seven materials melted from the Star Realm Sawtooth, refining it again. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
The temperature maintained a high of six thousand degrees, then gradually cooled according to the forging process.
The time spent at different temperature intervals varied depending on the solidification temperatures of different materials.
After half a day passed, the casting process was finally completed.
The Aurora Blade was re-shaped in the mold; afterwards, Master Gulu used the Molten Rock Touch, grabbing the Aurora Blade while it was still hot and placing it on the forging table, raising the forging hammer to start hammering.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Each hammer strike injected all of the strength into the blade.
Star Realm materials wove into the metal under the hammering, with the crystalline released galaxy permeating along the trail of Lu Heng’s blood.
When Master Gulu struck the thousandth hammer, all the lights suddenly retracted inward, and a brand new Aurora Blade gradually took shape.
Two hours later, the forging process was finally completed.
Master Gulu exhaled heavily, sat down to the side, and took a swig from a jug.
The subsequent few procedures are to be undertaken by the mechanical lord composed of nanorobots.
The mechanical lord manipulated three sets of mechanical arms to fix the blade, while the laser cutter on the fourth set of mechanical arms emitted a dazzling white light.
"High-frequency particle stream ready."
As the laser swept across the blade, the surface of the Aurora Blade erupted with a defiant blue light.
The two forces collided, and the laser began to polish the surface of the Aurora Blade, performing detailed processing.
The blade was two inches longer than before, with a semi-transparent sky-blue color on the surface, and the interior was a dark blue of deep space, with natural patterns formed by stardust flowing at the edge.
When all procedures were completed, the previously napping Master Gulu immediately jumped up, rushing over to pick up the brand new Aurora Blade.
He held the brand new Aurora Blade, standing there frozen, motionless.
Everyone present wore a confused expression, not knowing what had happened.
Could the forging have failed?
Many people had such thoughts in their minds.
To have refined a demigod weapon only to have the newly forged Aurora Blade fail would have been a heavy blow to everyone.
"Master?" Lu Heng reached out and patted his shoulder, then stepped around to look at his expression from the front.
Master Gulu was already tearful, looked up at Lu Heng, and then his emotions erupted like a volcano, raising the Aurora Blade high and shouting loudly, "We did it!"
This shout transmitted, making everyone present excited, hugging each other, cheering with joy.
Sorreville Copper Furnace hurried over upon hearing the news, urgently asking, "Did it succeed? What level?"
"Demigod weapon, Your Majesty, we forged a demigod weapon." The Black Iron Dwarf craftsmen who took part in this forging were so excited that they couldn’t contain themselves.
Sorreville Copper Furnace was just as emotional hearing this answer, "Really? Did we really forge a demigod weapon?"
He couldn’t believe this was real.
Though Black Iron Dwarves are naturally skilled in forging, their racial talent alone doesn’t mean they can casually forge divine weapons and sharp blades.
In Sorreville Copper Furnace’s memory, the last time the Black Iron Dwarf Tribe forged a demigod weapon was during his grandfather, Emperor Sorondal’s reign.
Three centuries passed, and the Black Iron Dwarf Kingdom’s level of forging has been declining.
The reasons for this situation are multiple.
A reduction in population led to fewer craftsmen with a talent for forging, diminishing the probability of training a forging master.
Plus, the tribe’s decline increased the pressure to survive.
The entire Black Iron Tribe had to struggle for survival, fighting wars to acquire resources, naturally leaving no extra resources and materials to forge high-level weapons.
Therefore, this time successfully forging a demigod weapon is an inspiring event for the Black Iron Dwarf Tribe.
This signifies that the Black Iron Dwarves’ forging skills have returned to the level of Emperor Sorondal’s rule.
Everyone’s emotions were excited, except for Xavier Matrix, who remained very calm.
Because he agreed to proceed with the forging only after calculations showed a higher probability of success, leading to the initiation of the forging process.
When Master Gulu’s emotions settled somewhat, Lu Heng finally had the opportunity to take the Aurora Blade and examine its attributes.
[Demigod·Aurora Blade]
[Item Level: Demigod Level]
[Specifications: Length 152 cm, Blade Width 6.8 cm, Weight 62.5 kg]
[Attributes: Attack Power 1650 (Special Effect Bonus)]
[Special Effects: Spirit Slash LV5, Sharp Blade LV5, Soldier Lord’s Will, Star Realm Cutting]
[Divine Skill 1: Dragon Breath Slash]
[Divine Skill 2: Dragon Fury]
[Divine Attribute Skill 3: Gravity Tide]
As Lu Heng grasped the handle, he felt a powerful force hidden within the blade.
Master Gulu slouched by the furnace, raised the jug only to find it had long since evaporated. He looked at the starlight flowing on the blade and suddenly laughed, "Goodness! This blade can cut through space rifts!"
"Thank you." Lu Heng solemnly bowed to the two forging masters, "This gift..."
"Stop with the formalities!" Master Gulu hurled the empty jug over, "Go find a demon to test the blade!"
As they left the Molten Crown, Su Muyu noticed that Lu Heng’s hand remained on the handle the whole time. When they crossed the teleportation gate back to Blue Star, Orion in the night sky shone notably brighter, as if welcoming this weapon crossing the star realms back home.
