Emperor of the North Chapter 92

Chapter 92 - Unexpected breakthrough

The flames burned endlessly inside the furnace, and under the constant additions of the Flaming Nitrate Rock, it took a full hour before the Darksteel Heavy Gold was softened.

"Prepare a Snow Jade Bowl. This Darksteel Heavy Gold is not like the others. It must be melted before it can be fully integrated into the Great Ravine."

Seeing that the Darksteel Heavy Gold had softened, Li Mu instructed Zhou Xianguan.

Zhou Xianguan nodded his head as he skillfully took out a snow-white jade bowl.

This kind of container made from snow jade, was not afraid of fire, it could withstand extremely high temperatures, and was a very famous fire resistant object among the low grade materials in the cultivation world. Since he had started forging weapons for the inner sect disciples of the Gold Jade Sect, Li Mu had spent quite a few crystal s to buy a few snow jade containers, in order to deal with the current situation.

Li Mu placed the burned Darksteel Heavy Gold into the Snow Jade Bowl, and then used force to hold the Snow Jade Bowl and put it into the furnace.

After doing all this, Li Mu picked up Great Ravine, placed it by the mouth of the furnace and started to calcined it.

"Brat, this blade is quite interesting. It was actually refined with Cold Star Meteoric Iron. Although there aren't many ingredients, the sharpness of this sword light definitely exceeds that of ordinary Grade 9 Common Weapons."

A surprised voice suddenly rang out.

"Cold Star Meteoric Iron? "What kind of material is this? I've never heard about it before." Li Mu asked suspiciously.

"It's normal that you don't know about this. It's said that the Frigid Star Meteor Iron is something that only exists in meteorites. This material doesn't have any other uses, but if it is used on saber-type weapons or even spiritual treasures, it can greatly enhance their sharpness."

"If the purity of the Frigid Star Meteor Iron is pure enough, it would even have a miraculous effect on treasures of the same level as the Heavenly Spirit Treasure. Of course, if it is effective against treasures with the power to destroy the heavens and earth, then the amount required would not be this little bit." Luan Tian explained in detail to Li Mu, as if he was an old scholar.

"Oh so it's like that, looks like this Xiao Kuan is really lucky to actually have such a good blade, although its appearance is a bit ugly."

Li Mu couldn't help but silently curse as he looked at Giant Que in front of him.

Not long after, Giant Que had turned red and weak under the violent fire. Li Mu took a deep breath and took Giant Que out, and at the same time, took out the Snow Jade Bowl. The originally solid Darksteel Heavy Gold had already disappeared from the Snow Jade Bowl, and what replaced it was a ball of red liquid.

Li Mu poured the liquid from the Snow Jade Bowl onto the giant blade that was burning red. A bizarre scene appeared, and the red colored Darksteel Heavy Gold liquid melted into the giant blade as soon as it came in contact with it, as if it had never appeared before.

"So heavy, this is already more than 3000 jins!"

Li Mu thought in his heart, then placed the Great Ravager on a copper block, which was completely green, at least one meter tall and three meters long, its surface was extremely smooth, and he had specially forged it to use against such heavy weapons.

After placing Giant Que on the copper block, Li Mu picked up the gold-plated hammers he brought from the Weapon Crafting Pavilion and started to work hard to refine the Giant Que Blade.

Speaking of the pair of golden hammers, it was originally customized by a disciple of the Gold Jade Sect's inner sect, and because Li Mu used it smoothly, he had even asked its owner for it before. Coincidentally, that inner disciple happened to be one of the hundred or so people who asked Li Mu to forge weapons, and after Li Mu successfully crafted a Grade Eight Common Weapons for him, the disciple gave it to him generously.

"Clang!"

Under the proficient usage of the flurry hammer technique, Li Mu circled around the Giant Que and continuously changed directions, his movements elegant and unrestrained.

In his eyes, this was his highest goal. This was also the reason why Li Mu had immediately agreed to help him when he asked him.

As for Xiao Kuan, when he saw Li Mu's strange movement technique, the expression on his face kept changing unpredictably. He didn't know if it was because he was shocked by Li Mu's forging technique or his movement technique.

"Shock 3: 7, blade 3 inches, pay attention to the combination of speed and strength!"

"It's about time. Next, focus on the blade. Remember how thin the blade is!"

This time, because of the bet placed on him, he had no choice but to take it seriously. With Huntian's guidance, and with Li Mu's familiarity with forging techniques over the past few days, it didn't take long for the first Darksteel Heavy Gold to merge with the Great Ravager.

"Junior Brother Zhou, quickly prepare the second Darksteel Heavy Gold!" instructed as he forged the Giant Que Blade.

After receiving Li Mu's order, Zhou Xianguan once again picked up a piece of Darksteel Heavy Gold and placed it into the furnace. After the Darksteel Heavy Gold had softened, he then placed it into the Snow Jade Bowl.

If it was in the past, with such a long period of time, Li Mu would not be able to continue supporting himself with the Heavenly Demon Nine Transformations even if he reached the third form. However, in this period of time, Li Mu had already reached the peak of the third form with the help of the microarray, and he could break through to the fourth form at any time, causing the strength of his body to increase by a large amount.

"Alright!" And I have also successfully fused a Darksteel Heavy Gold into the Great Ravine. Now, the weight of the blade has reached nine thousand kilograms. "

Li Mu gasped for breath as he sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

"It's only 9000 jins. I said I want a weight of 10000 jins, and it seems like you have not reached the 9th rank yet, right?"

Looking at Li Mu's miserable state, Xiao Kuan coldly said.

"Senior Xiao doesn't need to be so anxious. You also know, the heavier the weapon, the harder it is to forge. Li Mu replied.

Although your words are correct, Junior Brother Li, you still have the ability to lift Great Ravine, your strength is truly astonishing, your Pre-Sky and Earth Realm cultivation can actually still hold on till now, it is already impressive that an ordinary late stage Pre-Sky Realm martial artist can lift a three thousand jin weapon, but you can actually lift nine thousand jin, I have to say that you are quite capable, seems like you have trained in a strong body-tempering method?

Xiao Kuan asked in shock.

"Senior Xiao's sharp eyes are like torches, I have indeed trained in body-tempering method, but compared to you, it is nothing."

Li Mu laughed bitterly and shook his head. The other party was right, the weight of 9000 jin was indeed close to his limit, although the Heavenly Demon Nine Transformations was heaven defying, but this weight was enough for ordinary Innate Rankers to stare at. He himself did not know what would happen next.

"Brat, don't be discouraged, at this stage you are only one step away from achieving the other party's requirements. You must grit your teeth and persevere, there is still hope that you will be able to meet the other party's requirements. You have already lifted 9000 jins, but this is only the last 1000 jins!"

He shouted loudly in Li Mu's mind.

"I say, Huntian, you're just standing there talking without feeling any pain at all. This is ten thousand jin, not a little bit!"

Li Mu, who already had an understanding of the blind confidence in himself, gloomily replied.

"Judging by the current situation of the saber, reaching the ninth rank is not a problem. You only need to follow the same pattern to have a seventy percent chance of winning this bet. Gritting your teeth and going all out!"

He only knew that he had overestimated Li Mu's strength, but he couldn't bear to lose the Darksteel Heavy Gold in his hands.

If Li Mu did not return, he naturally did not want to give up on the Darksteel Heavy Gold in his hands. He clenched his teeth, recovered some of his strength, and stood up.

"How is it, Senior Brother Li, can we begin?"

Zhou Xianguan said as he looked at Li Mu. He picked up a piece of the Darksteel Heavy Gold and prepared to put it into the furnace.

Just as Li Mu was about to speak, his face suddenly darkened, his entire body suddenly flashed with a black gold light, and a strong burst of Qi exploded out from his body without any warning.

"This is!"

Seeing Li Mu's change in att.i.tude, Zhou Xianguan was so shocked that he retreated several steps, his face full of suspicion and puzzlement.

Not only Zhou Xianguan, even Xiao Kuan who had been observing coldly from the sidelines had revealed a face of shock. This was because the aura Li Mu was giving off, even he felt that he was in danger.

"AHH!"

Li Mu suddenly raised his head and screamed, following that he clenched his fists, the black gold on his body started to shine even brighter, the veins on his skin started to bulge, and the bones in his body started to emit popping sounds.

"Hahaha, Mu Xiaozi, you are really lucky! You actually managed to reach the third form of Heavenly Demon Nine Transformations and entered the fourth form. Good! It was not in vain that he spent so many crystal on the microarray! "

actually suddenly broke through his bottleneck under such circ.u.mstances, and successfully entered the fourth form of the Heavenly Demon Nine Transformations. "

On the contrary, he had a painful expression on his face, as he was currently enduring great pain. The bones and meridians in his entire body were currently going through an astonishing change, as if they were constantly being broken and reconst.i.tuted.

Mu Xiaozi, the fourth transformation's Warring Demons Transformation is different from the first three transformations. This is a qualitative change, the first three transformations focus on raising the strength of the body, the fourth transformation is transforming your body into a Battle Demon's body, so everything will be thrown into disorder. "

"Although the process is painful, once you endure it, the strength of your physical body will increase by at least several times. At that time, even with a normal martial artist of the sacred art realm's physical body, it won't be able to compare to yours!"

Looking at Li Mu's painful expression, he was not the least bit worried. Instead, he was even happier.

"Senior Xiao, what's wrong with Senior Brother Li?"

The confused Zhou Xianguan saw the strange state Li Mu was in and turned to look at him.

Although it is not the zhen yuan cultivation's breakthrough, it is still not something to look down on. If my guess is not wrong, this is his body tempering cultivation technique's breakthrough, as expected of the honorary disciple of Elder Chi Yun, at such an age, he actually reached such a realm in body tempering! "

Xiao Kuan muttered, as his eyes revealed a deep fear towards Li Mu.
