It wasn't that the God of Forging wasn't excellent, but rather that the God of Forging was too excellent.
When the God of Destruction said this, he didn't think the seven Elemental Gods were at a disadvantage, just that they would have a tough time later.
Su Ming's ambition was great, directly gathering trials from various gods. This was undoubtedly building stronger foundations. When he became a god, the anchor might be even stronger than the Sea God's godhood.
Back when the Sea God created his own godhood, he wasn't as troublesome as Su Ming, needing to gather god trials from two continents in succession.
The key was that Su Ming also had incredibly strong luck, actually able to find all the well-off gods.
If he truly integrated the Elemental Gods into the God of Forging's authority, he would really be heading towards God King.
How much energy did it take to achieve a God King?
Even with the God Realm's support, it required energy equivalent to at least ten Douluo Stars of today's size, and it had to be completely devoured. Even after achieving this, one could only say they barely had a chance to condense a God King godhood.
That's why the God of Destruction said the seven Elemental Gods would have a tough time.
"Darkness, Fire, Wind—the fusion direction also points towards the seven-element fusion path of the Seven Elemental Gods. This three-in-one Spirit Alloy is enough to attract the elemental thunder tribulation."
Su Ming was certain there wasn't the slightest deviation in his forging this time.
He looked up at the sky.
Endless dark clouds enveloped the land.
Thunder filled with destructive aura ran rampant.
Above the sea, storms whipped up countless waters.
Gale-force winds, torrential rain, lightning, and thunder.
Coupled with the destructive aura filling the world, it was like a scene of apocalypse.
"This is a heavenly tribulation. But after the heavenly tribulation, there's also an elemental thunder tribulation."
Su Ming sensed that hidden within this heavenly tribulation was also an elemental thunder tribulation belonging to Heaven Refinement.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Although I don't know where the problem lies, I can directly correct this mistake now."
He looked at the heavenly tribulation without a trace of fear or intention to dodge.
He had grown strong.
He couldn't avoid everything.
When he first transplanted the Douluo 3 forging system to the Douluo 1 and Douluo 2 periods, he had to start with Spirit Souls, then develop Spirit Infusion, circumventing restrictions one by one.
If it were now, his approach wouldn't be so constrained; he would directly wave his hand.
Su Ming slowly ascended into the air.
As the heavenly tribulation raged, he delved into the sky. His body emitted golden light, dispersing the dark clouds shrouding the giant ship. Even the thunder seemed to soften at this moment.
Su Ming's eyes turned brilliant gold. The power hidden within his body burst forth.
Spiritual light spheres shone from various parts of his limbs.
Three-Word Battle Armor, manifest!
Head armor, shoulder armor, arm armor, chest armor, belt, leg armor, boots, and a pair of resplendent wings on his back.
At this moment, Su Ming possessed Limit Douluo power!
In the Douluo 1 period, this was also Limit Douluo power!
Limit Douluo, also known as Peak Douluo!
"I am Heaven and Earth!"
That wasn't all. Su Ming projected his spiritual power, as if connecting to the intangible Plane Origin.
The Will of Heaven and Earth descended.
He raised his hand, making a pressing gesture. The power of Heaven and Earth rapidly dispersed the heavenly tribulation's power.
Dragon Valley Small World.
The sleeping Dragon God jolted awake.
"Who? Who is opposing the heavenly tribulation?"
His gaze looked towards the depths of the sea.
"Oh? Circumventing the restrictions? Then it's fine."
The heavenly tribulation couldn't truly and utterly eradicate the possibility of spirit beasts becoming gods.
All things in Heaven and Earth have a thread of vitality.
The Dragon God knew this.
Therefore, the possibility of circumventing the heavenly tribulation existed. The Dragon God couldn't block it completely and simply didn't bother trying.
Su Ming, now attaining the status of Lord of the Plane, actively guaranteeing for the Heaven Refined metal, was similar to a god taking a spirit beast to the God Realm, granting a Deity Official position.
"As long as it's not becoming a divine beast through bloodline, awakening memories deep in the bloodline..."
"However, the heavenly tribulation has already descended and cannot be dispersed. Be more careful next time during Heaven Refinement."
The Dragon God sank back into slumber.
Su Ming frowned.
Looking at the re-expanding heavenly tribulation, he understood.
But understanding was one thing; he had already started showing off. He couldn't just end it in a disgraceful manner, could he?
Once the heavenly tribulation gathered, it couldn't disperse?
The Douluo 2 version of him started suppressing that nine-in-one Sun Moon Spirit Gold before the heavenly tribulation even gathered.
The version of him just now kept forging while staring at the gathering heavenly tribulation, not stopping until he drew out the even later elemental thunder tribulation.
"Sigh, can only fight this heavenly tribulation."
God-level heavenly tribulation, is it?
I'm not afraid of you!
At worst, I'll die!
Su Ming, wielding the power of Heaven and Earth, now faintly touched a barrier. He knew this was the barrier of godhood and didn't recklessly try to break through.
He could directly mobilize more of Heaven and Earth's power to easily reach the godly domain, but the God Realm was still watching from above. He couldn't go too far.
If he directly became a god in the lower plane, who knows how the God Realm would view it.
He wouldn't even strive for quasi-god.
This half-step quasi-god was enough!
Su Ming's seven spirit rings shone simultaneously.
"First Spirit Skill, Dark Gold Power!"
"Second Spirit Skill, Frenzy!"
"Third Spirit Skill, Devour Heaven and Earth!"
"Fourth Spirit Skill, Blood Source Power!"
"Fifth Spirit Skill, Dual Phenomena Symbiosis Domain!"
"Sixth Spirit Skill, Azure Bull Slow Domain!"
"Sixth Spirit Skill, Azure Bull Annihilating Thunder!"
"Seventh Spirit Skill, Body True Form!"
Seven Spirit Skills, their effects didn't even overlap, comprehensively enhancing Su Ming's aura.
He roared. Blood Qi shot into the sky, overlapping with the golden light from his Gold-level Second Awakening. A crimson-gold figure battled the heavenly tribulation high in the sky.
Below, the Three-Element Alloy on the forging table trembled violently, then transformed into a three-colored beam of light, flying towards the sky.
A trembling yet determined spiritual fluctuation radiated out:
'Let me help you.'
Su Ming stretched out his right hand and grabbed the Three-Element Alloy.
Simultaneously, his left hand reached out, drawing the heavenly tribulation and elemental thunder tribulation power from the thunderclouds above.
Azure Bull Annihilating Thunder!
He pushed this Spirit Skill to its limit, directly tearing off two thunderbolts, fusing them together. Then, with a clap of his hands, he merged the two into one.
'Ah~~~'
The Three-Element Alloy trembled wildly. Fusing with the two thunderbolts, it transformed into a long spear.
Su Ming, holding the spear, fiercely clashed with the heavenly tribulation.
As for the elemental thunder tribulation, it struck his body and was completely absorbed by his Blood Source Power and Devour Heaven and Earth, converted into his own power.
"Is this still human?"
A Spirit Master stared dazedly at this world-destroying battle.
They clung tightly to the surrounding ship's structure, stabilizing themselves while having no attention to spare for anything else, wanting to etch this soul-stirring battle in the sky into their hearts forever.
God Realm.
The God of Destruction watched this scene, shaking his head repeatedly.
"It's useless. Although with the God Realm present, the heavenly tribulation's power isn't allowed to reach true god-level and is on the same level as Su Ming now, the elemental thunder tribulation for Heaven Refinement is limited, but the heavenly tribulation is endless."
The mechanism of the heavenly tribulation was set.
The two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand, even nine hundred thousand-year heavenly tribulations were one thing.
But this was the god-level heavenly tribulation.
This tribulation's mechanism was very simple: only ends with death.
If the target doesn't die, the tribulation doesn't stop.
