Chapter 1009 - 717: The Conflict Begins, Refining the Tribulation-defying Treasure (Part 2)

Chapter 1009: Chapter 717: The Conflict Begins, Refining the Tribulation-defying Treasure (Part 2)

Within it was the primordial will of the King of Ancient True Spirits.

The entire Artifact Refining Hall was bathed in a starlit blue; within the Essence Blood one could even see nebulae turning inside it, incomparably wondrous.

Qin Ming’s gaze was razor-sharp as he immediately formed the Treasure Refining Technique from the Fire God’s Celestial Art, beginning to fuse the three incomparably precious drops of True Spirit Essence Blood into the Thunder Magnetic Divine Mountain suspended in midair.

Boom!!

At the instant the two met, an ocean-tide storm of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi actually swept through the entire Little Spirit Realm.

Qin Ming’s Divine Thought, comparable to the Void Refining Stage, invaded the interior; the True Spirit Kunpeng Essence Blood instantly turned into billions of Chaos Runes, merging into the vast inner mass of the Thunder Magnetic Divine Mountain.

All of a sudden.

The phantom of a colossal True Spirit Kunpeng surfaced within the mountain’s Inner Space, as though roaming the Great Void.

A terrifying aura of Ancient True Spirit Bloodline surged forth like collapsing mountains and tsunamis.

On the Central Palace Black Lotus beneath Qin Ming, the Demon Infant Primordial Spirit that had been seated with eyes closed opened its pitch-black eyes, a strange smile curling at the corners of its mouth; then it opened its mouth and spat.

Roar!

The Tier Six Middle-Grade Ancient Poison Flame transformed into a seven-colored Griffin that spread its enormous flaming wings, beginning to temper and burn the Thunder Magnetic Divine Mountain, accelerating the fusion between the True Spirit Blood and the Divine Mountain.

Rumble-crack!

At this moment the True Spirit Divine Mountain already possessed the initial form of a treasure; the entire space was filled with Chaos Runes and silver arcs of thunder.

Clouds churned in all directions, Heaven and Earth changed color.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat stared blankly up at that terrifying phenomenon, muttering:

"What treasure is Master refining this time? Why does it feel more frightening with each one?"

"This aura... could it be that some truly astonishing thing is about to be born?"

It glanced back at the sickly Xiaoqing behind it and sighed, "To think that you big fool’s True Spirit Bloodline is actually so outstanding—just casually used for Treasure Refinement, and it stirs such Heaven and Earth phenomena. You almost catch up to your great lord here."

Inside the Artifact Refining Hall.

Time trickled by, bit by bit.

Thunder, Runes, and the Power of Laws contained within the True Spirit Essence Blood began to interweave ceaselessly, completely submerging the entire Divine Mountain.

When the embryonic form of the mountain had fully stabilized—

As Qin Ming’s Treasure Refining Technique continued to change in his hands, the Seven-Colored Ancient Poison Flame likewise began to alter its form.

From the initial Flaming Griffin, it transformed in midair into a seven-colored flaming lotus, radiating a terrifying heat as it devoured the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Then it completely wrapped the entire Thunder Magnetic Divine Mountain floating in the air.

At the moment when the fiery petals of the Seven-colored Lotus, previously in full bloom, gradually closed shut, Qin Ming moved with swift eyes and hands, taking out that mass of Innate Thunder Essence, dividing off a portion and casting it into the lotus’s interior.

This item was incomparably rare; he did not need to use it all in this Treasure Refinement—serving as the finishing touch was enough.

Thus, the three Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects became one.

The Seven-colored Lotus formed from the Ancient Poison Flame knit together into a lotus bud over ten zhang in size.

Qin Ming continued to engrave his comprehension of the Space Law and Domain Construction as streams of profound runes, inscribing them into the lotus bud before him.

And this was only one of the Divine Mountains; if he were to assemble five, or even eight such mountains, its might would multiply many times over.

After completing the final step—

Qin Ming also ceased his movements; next he need only wait for the Flame Lotus Bud to bloom once more and for the Innate Artifact Spirit within to be born, and this Tribulation-defying Treasure would have one of its components successfully refined.

Using it to withstand the Returning Void Tribulation would already be more than enough.

In the future, if he chanced upon other Divine Mountains, he could further perfect this Top-tier Treasure.

Qin Ming’s gaze rested upon the massive lotus bud before him, like a gigantic egg, suffused with a mysterious, wondrous hue.

He pondered for a moment, vaguely sensing that when the treasure emerged, the commotion would be too great, and the Hall’s space somewhat insufficient.

After all, the Thunder Magnetic Divine Mountain in its complete form would be ten thousand zhang tall.

Thus, Qin Ming moved the lotus bud to an open area within the Little Spirit Realm.

Seeing Qin Ming produce such a massive object, both the Heaven-Devouring Rat and Tian Ling’er were left utterly dumbfounded.

Time flowed on, bit by bit.

Several months later.

Around the Seven-Colored Lotus Bud, clusters of void star-clouds began to appear, as though within them a Primordial Universe was ceaselessly being born and destroyed...

Standing below, Qin Ming’s heart suddenly stirred.

In the unseen depths, he sensed the Innate Artifact Spirit within being nurtured into existence—the treasure inside was about to be born.

Buzz~

Within the heavens and earth of the Little Spirit Realm, tides of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi first began to surge and roar.

The nebula clusters coiling around the lotus bud slowly began to disperse.

Immediately after, from the seven-colored flame lotus bud on the outer layer, strands of milky-white Innate misty Qi suddenly overflowed...

It was somewhat similar to when the True Spirit Kunpeng broke its shell and emerged back then.

When the Artifact Spirit within fully凝成, the entire treasure lotus would abruptly bloom and depart...

Rumble!

In an instant, wind and cloud boiled; above the sky, ten thousand-zhang clouds of rosy glow unfurled, illuminating the four directions.

The seven-colored lotus transformed from the Ancient Poison Flame blossomed petal by petal, then gradually dispersed and vanished, finally once more condensing into a single seven-colored flame that flew back into the mouth of the Demon Infant Primordial Spirit.

Under Qin Ming’s intensely excited gaze.

A Thunder Magnetic Divine Mountain ten thousand zhang tall, its surface inscribed with billions of Chaos Runes, with a True Spirit Kunpeng phantom manifesting within, bearing a terrifying spatial suppression force, at this moment was born in accord with destiny!!

Terrifying arcs of thunder lightning danced across the mountain body, capable even of devouring and drawing in the surrounding free Thunder Attribute Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

At the instant the True Spirit Extreme Mountain came into being, its dreadful might actually caused space itself to twist.

If Qin Ming had not restrained this power, it would likely have collapsed the space of the Little Spirit Realm...

In a flash, terrifying heaven-and-earth phenomena spread, covering the entire Little Spirit Realm...

"Th-this... could this be the legendary Tier Six Returning Void Treasure?" The Heaven-Devouring Rat stared at the treasure’s emergence, its whole body steeped in Heart Spirit-shaking awe, and said in extreme shock while hiding behind Qin Ming’s back.

Qin Ming gazed at this True Spirit mountain, also somewhat unsure, hesitating slightly as he replied, "Probably... I suppose..."

"Yet the Artifact Refining Secret Manual of Master Fire God mentions that the usual Tribulation-defying Treasures used to withstand the Returning Void Tribulation, at the moment of successful Treasure Refinement, do not give rise to phenomena of this level?"

"Could it be that, with my redesign and re-sacrificial refinement, something went awry?"

Back when Qin Ming obtained that half volume of the Fire God’s Celestial Art, what was recorded within was not the method for refining a Divine Mountain, but the Five Extremes True Spirit Stele.

The True Spirit Essence Blood it employed was naturally only from ordinary True Spirits.

Later, however, Qin Ming’s fortune soared, and he directly obtained an entire Ten Thousand Feet Thunder Magnetic Divine Mountain, and in addition, the Ancient True Spirit King Kunpeng Essence Blood he acquired afterward.

The overall effect was utterly incomparable.

...

...

At the very instant Qin Ming was refining the treasure and the True Spirit Extreme Mountain manifested.

Upon the ancient, long-silent Creation Profound Mirror in the Sacred Lands of the various races across the Spirit Realm.

A mass of Golden Light suddenly erupted, shooting up to the heavens; tadpole-shaped golden Spirit Texts in the void evolved into a Creation Golden Scroll.

Immediately after.

On the Creation Golden Scroll, rows upon rows of Golden Seal Spirit Texts, common to the Spirit Realm, surfaced. Among them, one previously dim line of script abruptly lit up, projecting into the void:

"Kan Artifact Chapter, Celestial Secret Creation List."

Below were all manner of Heaven-Defying-level treasures, cataloguing the Top-Tier Returning Void Treasures within the Spirit Realm.

Ranked first was the "Four Swords of Demon-Slaying," forged by a Great Power of the Earth Spirit Race.

Second was the "Nine Nether Soul Banner," a Sacred Artifact of the Demon Race, within which dwells a Ghost Mother of utmost terror.

Third was the "Great Sun Glaze Fire Purification Bottle," whose refiner was the Human Race Great Power, Master Fire God...

Yet in the very next instant.

The first-place position abruptly revealed a string of large characters: True Spirit Five Extremes Mountain!

The treasures that had originally been ranked at the top of the Celestial Secret List all slid down one place in order...

Among the various races, the sentries stationed in their forbidden grounds were the first to witness this change; without exception, their expressions turned aghast.

They promptly reported the matter to their respective higher-ups.

Yet the Little Spirit Realm’s spatial isolation had blocked certain information, so none knew who had refined this Heaven-Defying-level treasure...

The phenomena arising from Qin Ming’s Treasure Refinement within the Little Spirit Realm also did not transmit to the outer world; otherwise, it would have stirred up another great tempest.

For a time.

The major Spirit Realms were thrown into chaos.

The birth of a top-level Heaven-defying Spiritual Treasure is almost always accompanied by a storm of blood and slaughter.

Fortunately, Qin Ming loves peace and dislikes flaunting himself, and had concealed this matter quite well.

Otherwise, within the Spirit Realm, a grand battle for seizing the treasure would have been inevitable...
