Chapter 213 The initial casting of the magic weapon
A biting mountain wind howled past, causing Zhuang Yu's robes to flutter loudly.
His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were piercing as he stared at the group of men in black not far ahead.
They all exuded a chilling aura, like demons from hell, emanating a suffocating murderous intent.
Wang Yao felt the sudden tightening of Zhuang Yu's grip, and her heart skipped a beat. She also sensed the dangerous aura surrounding them.
Their steps became heavy, each one feeling as if they were treading on a knife's edge.
After overcoming several obstacles, Zhuang Yu and Wang Yao finally arrived at the cave.
However, what awaited them was not the peace they had imagined, but an even more powerful enemy.
In front of the cave, Black Fiend Ancestor and Ghost Three and Ghost Four had been waiting for a long time. Their faces were ferocious and their eyes were flashing with greed.
"Zhuang Yu, you can't escape!" The voice of the Black Fiend Ancestor was hoarse and sinister, like the cry of a night owl, sending chills down one's spine.
"Black Fiend, you actually tracked me all the way here?" Zhuang Yu sneered. He knew that Black Fiend Ancestor's purpose was to sabotage his crafting of the Heavenly Tribulation Defense Treasure, and he absolutely could not let him succeed.
"Hmph! Once I destroy your magic weapon, let's see how you survive the Heavenly Tribulation!" Old Ancestor Black Fiend said viciously, his body surging with black energy, like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey.
Zhuang Yu flashed and stood in front of the cave entrance, like an insurmountable barrier.
"If you want to destroy my magic weapon, you'll have to get past me first!"
Black Fiend Ancestor roared and brandished his black longsword, slashing fiercely at Zhuang Yu.
The blade sliced through the air with a sharp whistling sound, carrying an aura of world destruction.
Inside the cave, the master craftsman was intently controlling the forging furnace, where raging flames crackled and popped.
He would sometimes make hand gestures and chant incantations, and sometimes throw rare materials, with fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
"Oh no! The Black Fiend Ancestor is about to rush in!" Wang Yao exclaimed, as she could feel the intense energy fluctuations coming from outside the cave.
Zhuang Yu's eyes narrowed. He knew he had to deal with the Black Fiend Ancestor as soon as possible, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
He took a deep breath, mobilized all his inner energy, and prepared to face this fierce battle.
"Ghost Three, Ghost Four, attack!" The Black Fiend Ancestor's command, like a death knell, instantly shattered the silence in front of the cave.
Ghost Three grinned maliciously, wielding a pair of enormous iron hammers that shook the ground slightly. He was like a moving mountain, each step carrying an astonishing sense of oppression. Ghost Four, meanwhile, lurked sinisterly behind Ghost Three, holding a dagger that gleamed with an eerie light, waiting for his chance to strike.
A glint flashed in Zhuang Yu's eyes. He could feel the strong wind rushing towards him and the stench of blood in the air.
He nimbly dodged Gui San's iron hammer, and at the same time, he retaliated with a palm strike, a blazing palm print aimed directly at Gui San's face. The intense heat even distorted the air, causing Gui San's skin to feel a burning pain.
Gui San let out a deafening roar, like a wounded beast, and slammed the huge iron hammer into the ground again, sending stones flying and dust billowing up.
Taking advantage of the momentum, Zhuang Yu leaped into the air, skillfully avoiding Gui San's sweeping attack.
"Wang Yao, bring me the array flags!" Zhuang Yu didn't forget to direct Wang Yao even in the midst of the battle. He used his movement techniques to set up a defensive array on the ground.
Wang Yao quickly took out the array flag from her storage bag. With a flick of her wrist, the array flag landed precisely in the location designated by Zhuang Yu, as nimble as a flying bird, so fast that it was almost a blur.
Seeing this, Gui Si chuckled sinisterly, and the dagger in his hand transformed into a streak of black light, piercing straight for Zhuang Yu's back.
Without turning his head, Zhuang Yu swung his sword backhand, the sword energy like a rainbow, striking Gui Si's dagger squarely, producing a crisp sound and sending sparks flying.
He knew that getting entangled with these vicious thugs would only be a waste of time; he had to finish the job quickly!
Just as Zhuang Yu was locked in fierce combat with Gui San and Gui Si, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from the cave.
A dazzling light shot into the sky, causing the cave to tremble slightly.
Black Fiend Ancestor's expression changed. He sensed the power of this force and knew that the situation was not good.
"You mere clown, how dare you run wild here!" An old and majestic voice came from inside the cave, and then a white figure appeared before everyone like a ghost.
The master craftsman's eyes were cold, and his body emanated a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation. He condensed a dazzling ball of light in his hand and hurled it at the Black Fiend Ancestor.
The ball of light, like a meteorite, tore through the void, carrying overwhelming power, and instantly struck the Black Fiend Ancestor.
Black Fiend Ancestor let out a miserable scream, his figure flying backward and crashing into the mountain wall outside the cave, creating a huge crater, with rubble rolling down and dust flying everywhere.
When Ghost Three and Ghost Four saw this, they were terrified. They never imagined that such a powerful being was hidden inside the cave.
Zhuang Yu was quite surprised to see the magic weapon crafting master suddenly appear, but he quickly realized that this might be the best opportunity to defeat the Black Fiend Ancestor!
"Black Fiend, today is your death day!" Zhuang Yu shouted sharply. He gripped his long sword tightly, ready to press his advantage, but then he heard the magic weapon crafting master slowly say, "The materials... seem to have some problems."
Inside the cave, the air was scorching hot, and the refining furnace roared like the heartbeat of a giant beast.
The blazing flames reflected off Zhuang Yu's face, flickering in and out. His brows were furrowed. The various materials floating above the refining furnace, which should have blended perfectly, were now like repelling magnets, resisting each other, making hissing sounds, and flashing with unstable light.
"How could this happen?" Zhuang Yu muttered to himself, a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
With the heavenly tribulation approaching, if he cannot successfully refine the magic weapon, he will be powerless to resist.
Large beads of sweat slid down his forehead, dripping onto the scorching ground, where they evaporated instantly with a soft sizzling sound.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and began to recall all the knowledge he had about weapon crafting, attempting to find a solution to the problem.
Time ticked by, and the atmosphere inside the cave became suffocatingly tense.
Wang Yao stood aside, watching Zhuang Yu's anxious figure, her heart also filled with worry.
Although she didn't understand weapon crafting, she knew that Zhuang Yu was facing a huge challenge at this moment.
She gripped the battle flag tightly in her hand, hoping to offer him some help, even if it was just a tiny bit of strength.
“The five elements counteract each other, and yin and yang are out of balance…” Countless thoughts flashed through Zhuang Yu’s mind as he continuously analyzed the properties and characteristics of the materials, trying to find the key to the problem.
Suddenly, his
The black ore melts into a black liquid the moment it comes into contact with the flame, emitting a strange fragrance.
The materials that were originally mutually repulsive began to slowly fuse together under the influence of the black liquid, like water and milk blending together, emitting a soft glow.
A relieved smile appeared on Zhuang Yu's face. He carefully controlled the temperature of the flame and the fusion speed of the materials, not daring to make the slightest mistake.
As time went by, the prototype of the magical artifact gradually emerged, emitting powerful spiritual energy fluctuations, and the entire cave was filled with sacred light.
"It's done!" Zhuang Yu was secretly delighted. He increased the output of his true essence, and the refining of the magic weapon entered the final stage.
He was completely absorbed, as if he had become one with the furnace. Every movement he made was full of power and beauty, making people admire his ability.
Just as the magical artifact was about to take shape, a loud bang came from outside the cave...
Outside the cave, the Black Fiend Ancestor scrambled to his feet from the pile of rubble, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His hair stood on end in fury, his eyes bloodshot, like a wounded beast, panting heavily. He looked down at his charred robes and roared, "Damn it! I'll kill you all!" He once again mobilized all his true essence, and an even more powerful black energy condensed around him, like a giant vortex that distorted and deformed the surrounding air.
Although Ghost Three and Ghost Four were terrified by the magic weapon crafting master's attack, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and charge at Zhuang Yu again.
Gui San swung his iron hammer, smashing it down on Zhuang Yu like a moving mountain.
Ghost Four hid behind Ghost Three, the dagger in his hand gleaming with an eerie light, waiting for his chance.
Black Fiend Ancestor followed closely behind, his black longsword whistling as it tore through the air, aimed directly at Zhuang Yu's vitals.
As Zhuang Yu watched the three attackers come again, his magic weapon emitted a powerful energy fluctuation, as if the air itself was being torn apart, emitting a piercing shriek.
"Break!" Zhuang Yu roared, unleashing the full power of his magic weapon.
An invisible force spread out instantly, like a tsunami, directly blasting Black Fiend Ancestor, Ghost Three, and Ghost Four away.
Like kites with broken strings, they crashed into the mountain wall outside the cave, making a dull thud, sending stones flying and dust billowing.
At that moment, the entire world trembled, as if celebrating the birth of a new life.
Inside the cave, the master craftsman looked at the completed magic weapon with a satisfied smile. Wang Yao was also overjoyed, her heart filled with pride as she gazed at the magic weapon in Zhuang Yu's hand.
Zhuang Yu gripped the magical artifact tightly in his hand, feeling the immense power contained within it, his heart filled with excitement and exhilaration.
He knew that he had successfully crafted a heavenly tribulation defense magic weapon, and he would be able to cope with the upcoming heavenly tribulation!
Just then, he felt an even more powerful pressure descend upon him. The sky darkened, thick clouds gathered, and thunder roared, as if the heavens were in fury. The aura of the heavenly tribulation grew increasingly intense…
Zhuang Yu slowly raised his head, looking at the churning dark clouds in the sky. A meaningful smile appeared on his lips as he slowly uttered two words: "They've arrived..."
