Chapter 300: Chapter 273: Nine Divine Artifacts 1
Move Cloud Mountain Stronghold’s one hundred and fifty-six people turned and fled toward the outskirts of the village, and even the two Giant Beasts were no exception.
They had simply picked a random village as a scapegoat to annihilate the whole village to avenge the Third Master and report back to the two leaders.
But who would have thought that the casually chosen scapegoat would actually be the real culprit!
It must be said, such luck is truly remarkable!
Yet, since they are the real culprits, one would have to say that their luck was quite terrible; if the Third Master, who was in the later stages of Heaven God State cultivation, could not live to return, what chances did they have?
Upon hearing the shouts of those people, Li Cheng was stunned, “I thought there had been some leakage, but it turns out they just picked any village to take the blame, and it happened to be Hidden Spirit Village.”
So that’s how it is!
The battle must be resolved quickly then!
With a thought, countless sword lights roared, blasting though the crowd busy with escaping like dry weeds before a violent wind.
In the blink of an eye, blood and flesh flew in all directions; even the leading figure in the middle period of Heaven God State couldn’t withstand the relentless assault of countless sword lights, his body sliced into several parts, to say nothing of the others.
For a moment, more than a dozen Divine Children floated out from the torn bodies, continuing their escape.
But under the cover of the Hidden Spirit Array, even if all of them joined forces, they could not possibly break through, let alone now that only Divine Children remained.
After a moment’s contemplation, Li Cheng stopped his attack and casually threw out a tripod, capturing the Divine Children.
Then, Li Cheng activated his Domain, enveloping all the corpses to collect their personal belongings, before unleashing a furious blaze that swept across everything, thoroughly refining the bodies, Divine Souls, or Remnant Souls, obliterating all traces.
After refining for a while, only a drop of Essence Blood the size of a fingertip remained in the Domain, containing pure and tremendous Divine Power.
Li Cheng reached out to grab the Essence Blood, feeling emotional inside; in the past, in the Immortal World, he could barely refine a few drops of Divine Blood, but now, in the Divine Realm, the bodies of more than a dozen Heaven Gods including Divine Blood and Divine Bones were completely refined in just a moment.
So many corpses yielded only a drop of Essence Blood the size of a fingertip, but the power contained within was unquestionable. If used in combination with auxiliary medicine for Alchemy, it could likely be used to refine a level two Divine Pill.
After retracting the Domain, Li Cheng saw that all the people of Hidden Spirit Village were staring at him, dumbfounded, likely unable to come back to their senses for a short time.
Yin Qingshan hurried forward, his expression wrought with shock, “A single round of attack and it’s all resolved! This Formation is much more powerful than I expected!”
“These people were focused on fleeing for their lives and had no chance to fight back. Moreover, their highest Cultivation was only the middle period of Heaven God State. If we meet those at the peak or complete stages, it might not be so easy to slay them,” Li Cheng said.
“First Master Blade is in the complete stage of Heaven God State cultivation. If we lure him into the array, we should be able to kill him, right?” Yin Qingshan asked expectantly.
Move Cloud Mountain Stronghold had been a scourge for many years; who wouldn’t have a bone-deep hatred for them?
Seeing that the Hidden Spirit Array could so easily slay one hundred and fifty- six people, Yin Qingshan naturally thought of completely eradicating Move Cloud Mountain Stronghold.
Li Cheng glanced at Yin Qingshan, who had told him that his son and daughter- in-law had been tortured to death by Move Cloud Mountain Stronghold. Now that he saw hope for revenge, how could he sit still?
After a moment’s thought, Li Cheng said, “These people didn’t get the message out, so it should take a day or two for Move Cloud Mountain Stronghold to react. During this time, I plan to refine another Divine Artifact!”
Yin Qingshan hurriedly bowed, “Brother Li, we cannot thank you enough for your great kindness. Whenever Hidden Spirit Village can be of use to you, just say the word.”
He knew that when Li Cheng spoke of refining another Divine Artifact, he intended to strengthen the Hidden Spirit Array to ensure a greater likelihood of wiping out Move Cloud Mountain Stronghold.
Li Cheng indeed had this in mind; after all, while the current Formation had a chance to slay peak Heaven God State powerhouses, they did possess Divine Artifacts, and it would be troublesome if they forcefully broke through the Formation.
Moreover, even without breaking the Formation, he would become the target while inside the Formation controlling it. A slightest error could spell his complete undoing.
Furthermore, although the Second Master was not as strong as the First Master, he too was at the peak of Heaven God State. If both of them came together, the current Hidden Spirit Array only had a fifty to sixty percent chance of trapping and slaying them.
Fifty to sixty percent was naturally not enough for Li Cheng; if not a hundred percent, it had to be at least ninety percent!
Without rushing to check the one hundred plus storage bags, Li Cheng took out all the weapons and used the Divine Fire inside his body to melt and refine them to their utmost purity.
Now that Immortal Fire had become Divine Fire, Li Cheng controlled it to at times form a whirlwind of Fire Dragons and at other times turn into countless hammers, hammering away to purify these materials.
After half an hour, nearly one hundred sixty various weapons were reduced to a brain-sized ball of light golden metal.
“With my current Cultivation, this has been refined to the utmost. I should be able to make about nine Longswords,” Li Cheng said.
After a moment of consideration, Li Cheng added the fingertip-sized Essence Blood to the metal ball and continued to hammer it, melding it perfectly.
That Essence Blood, which was gathered from the combined Divine Blood, Divine Bones, and Blood and Flesh Essence of more than a dozen Heaven Gods, would surely be incredibly mighty once the Artifact Refining was successful.
Unfortunately, these materials were not special, and even upon successful refining, they would be considered normal Divine Artifacts, devoid of any special abilities.
Subsequently, the liquid metal was divided into nine parts under Li Cheng’s control and slowly stretched into nine Longswords.
The next day, under Li Cheng’s relentless tempering, the nine Longswords began to manifest Divine Power, with Divine Patterns continuously appearing on the Sword Body.
The entire Hidden Spirit Village watched the Artifact Refining process from within the Formation, daring not to take a breath too loud, afraid to disturb Li Cheng.
After a while, Li Cheng waved his hand, and the Divine Fire dissipated, revealing nine identical Longswords to the awed onlookers.
