The Body Sect's preparations were swift.
Within a mere hour, a grand array rose from the ground.
After dozens of Spirit Emperor-level or higher Spirit Masters poured in spirit power, a giant spirit tool barrier appeared, enveloping the entire Grand Spirit Fighting Arena.
"Is this a lightning protection array?"
An astute Spirit Engineer, observing the energy flow within the spirit tool barrier, discerned the array's purpose.
At each array node's location, there were huge needle-like protrusions.
"My goodness, is this really for weathering a tribulation?"
Remembering the tribulation that yesterday's Sun Moon Spirit Gold didn't undergo, the audience felt a mix of fear and a tiny bit of eager anticipation.
They really wanted to see it.
Let's stay.
The Body Sect has a Limit Douluo presiding; surely, they can handle a thunder tribulation, right?
"No matter what, Su Ming is only a Spirit Emperor. This thunder tribulation definitely isn't the 'pass and become a god' kind. A Limit Douluo would definitely find it useful."
Under the eager anticipation of the masses, Su Ming stepped onto the arena.
He gave a brief explanation, sharing the concept of Heaven Refinement, then left the arena.
This was the core of the entire Spirit Fighting Arena, unsuitable for forging.
After he left, all the arena's spirit screens collectively activated.
On the eastern side of the arena, there was an open space. Su Ming began forging there.
"Can't see it with our own eyes?"
"You wouldn't like it if it struck you for real."
"Shut up quickly and watch carefully."
"Water, Fire, Earth, Wind; Light, Darkness, Space; plus Wood. Both systems are gathered now."
Su Ming looked at the various rare metals he had painstakingly collected.
Some weren't even rare metals but could only be called rare materials, usable for making spirit tool cores but not metallic.
"Is that thing Phoenix Tree Wood? Can that be forged too?"
"It's probably for aiding combustion."
"..."
The Phoenix Tree Wood provided both Wood and Fire origins, an important component.
For this forging session, there were nine types of rare metals: Deep Sea Heavy Silver, Magic Silver, Blue Pregnancy Copper, Titanium Crystal, Primordial Spirit Iron, Star Soul Iron, Dark Gold, Black Gold, and Magic Crystal.
Besides rare metals, there were materials like Phoenix Tree Wood to supplement the elemental origins he needed.
Thousand Refinements with Spirit Awakened was simple. Performing Thousand Refinements on nine types of rare metal simultaneously wasn't difficult either.
Therefore, Su Ming had ample energy to simultaneously perform Thousand Refinements on the nine rare metals while extracting the elemental origins from materials like Phoenix Tree Wood.
By the time the extraction was complete, the Thousand Refinements of the nine rare metals were also finished.
"Fuse!"
Fusion Forging began. Among the nine rare metals, except for Titanium Crystal, the others were paired and hammered by Su Ming to a near-fused state, then stacked further, hammered three times to near-fusion.
Then, the two four-in-one semi-finished products, mixed with Titanium Crystal, underwent Fusion Forging.
Titanium Crystal's internal structure was very special, able to seep into other rare metals during Fusion Forging, greatly increasing the success rate.
This characteristic was also useful during legacy imbuing, harmonizing the properties of various rare metals for more complete fusion.
Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Su Ming continuously swung the forging hammer, fully forging the nine-in-one alloy.
Simultaneously, he took the opportunity to hammer the elemental origins into the alloy.
"So forging can be done like this? Extract whatever's missing? Is this still forging?"
Some audience members raised doubts.
Especially some blacksmiths, who stated they simply didn't have this ability.
"Then just learn the forging part. Think about this problem when you can extract the origins of special materials."
"Won't I still have to think about it then?"
People around looked at that person as if he were a fool.
Do you really think you can reach that level?
"Heavenly tribulation is coming."
In the sky, dark clouds gathered, thunder rumbled, a destructive aura began to spread, and the area above the entire Sun Moon Imperial Capital felt oppressive.
God Realm.
The God of Destruction, watching the scene below, looked solemn.
"He's starting again."
If he truly draws out the heavenly tribulation, it's certain death.
Why is this kid so stubborn?
Su Ming in the Douluo 2 period hadn't started gathering god trials yet, so only a handful of gods could observe him now: the God of Destruction, the Sea God, and... the God of Emotions.
Rong Nianbing, observing this through Huo Yuhao's perspective, was astonished.
"With this forging ability, once he reaches the God Realm, probably every god would visit him, right?"
He glanced at the several knives in his kitchen.
"None are Super Divine Tools. Even seven combined only barely have the effect of a Super Divine Tool. Wonder if I could ask him to help me upgrade them."
"Forget it, other things aside. Need to give Huo Yuhao the god trial now, let him learn forging through the trial."
Huo Yuhao suddenly froze.
"What happened?"
He felt a powerful spiritual fluctuation rush into his Sea of Consciousness.
"We're doomed!"
"Brother Tianmeng?"
He entered his Sea of Consciousness and immediately felt his hair stand on end because a carving knife was darting around wildly in his Sea of Consciousness.
The reason it was darting was that Tianmeng was running around frantically.
"No, don't chase me! I just exhaled some air. I really don't dare anymore."
Tianmeng was almost crying.
He sensed a special 'concept' from this carving knife, this knife was for cooking!
It even carried divine thought, and the knife could even sever his spiritual power.
No, not sever. When his spiritual power touched the blade edge, it directly split apart.
Not split into two strands of spiritual power, but truly severed, unable to recombine.
The Ice Empress, watching from the side, flashed a look of wariness in her eyes.
"What is this thing?"
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and stood in front of Tianmeng.
Only then did the carving knife stop chasing Tianmeng. It wobbled a couple of times, then merged into Huo Yuhao's body.
"This Rong Nianbing guy, really daring."
The God of Destruction was stunned.
"When did he send that carving knife to the lower plane?"
One thing was certain: Rong Nianbing had sent that carving knife bearing his god trial to the Douluo Continent long ago, not just tossing it there now, taking advantage of the moment.
Even controlling the God Realm Core couldn't achieve such a thing instantly.
There would be a time lag in between.
"Rong Nianbing!"
A furious roar echoed through the God Realm.
Tang San, fuming with rage, flew out of the Sea God Temple and headed towards Rong Nianbing's territory, clearly in an accusatory mood.
"Sea God, this Huo Yuhao clearly doesn't match your Sea Godhood but fits my God of Emotions instead," Rong Nianbing said leisurely.
He had considered this for a long time and had long shed any burden.
"I also have the Shura Godhood!" Tang San retorted angrily.
"The Shura Godhood? Are you sure you'll offer it to Huo Yuhao? Moreover, Huo Yuhao doesn't have the Killing God Domain, and his additional spirit rings have nothing to do with the Shura God either."
Tang San snorted coldly, not giving up.
"You probably didn't sense it, did you? Early on, he harbored deep resentment, even invoking part of the divine power left after the Rakshasa God's death. It's within him. Rakshasa and Shura share the same origin. His compatibility with the Shura God isn't as low as you say."
At this point, the God of Destruction still wanted to watch the drama.
Because he was genuinely curious whether Tang San would offer the Shura Godhood to Huo Yuhao.
