From A Stronghold NPC To The Final BOSS

The lightning striking down was a good thing for Qin shujian.

As the hammer fell …

The power of the Thunderbolts that came crashing down was completely scattered and then fused into the material.

Suddenly-

The material that had already become transparent was now tainted with a faint purple color. That was the power that belonged only to heaven and earth’s lightning.

Bang! Bang!

BOOM!

With every strike of the hammer, the material became more solid, and a bolt of lightning fell.

It was an intimidating aura.

It had already spread.

In the eyes of the others, they could only see a 30000-foot-tall giant holding a big hammer and striking in an orderly manner. Every time the hammer fell, thousands of Dao runes overflowed.

Heaven and earth shook.

It was accompanied by the sound of thunder.

To some people, Qin shujian didn’t seem like he was forging materials. It was more like he was forging the entire world.

Fang Yilan did not know much about forging, so she could not tell much about it.

After watching for a while, she turned to su Zhan and said, “”Can you see anything?”

“Very strong!”

Su Zhan only said two simple words.

In his opinion, Qin shujian’s every hammer strike would strike the most ingenious node of the material. He would do his best to remove the impurities in the material.

This kind of method was not something that ordinary people could do.

Even su Zhan couldn’t get rid of all the impurities in a material 100%.

Once all the impurities were removed, it was equivalent to returning to the most original state. That state was already beyond the level of ninth-tier.

At this moment, in su Zhan’s eyes.

Qin shujian was forging all the materials to a perfect state.

At this moment, he already had some understanding in his heart.

On the other side.

Fang Yilan’s expression turned grim.

Su Zhan was a proud person. If even he said that Qin shujian was very strong, then Qin shujian was truly strong.

Another two days passed.

The lightning had already dispersed.

However, the sky was still covered by dark clouds, as if something terrible was brewing.

Now, all the materials had been melted.

Qin shujian took out five Xiantian embryos from his storage ring and threw them all into the melted materials.

“What!”

Su Zhan was shocked.

“What’s wrong with that?” Fang Yilan asked.

a Xiantian embryo can be used to forge a Dao artifact. Under normal circumstances, the five Xiantian embryos should be gradually fused into the Dao artifact. This way, the power of the Tribulation lightning and the difficulty of fusion will be greatly reduced.

If it reached its limit, it could stop halfway.

But now, he threw five Xiantian embryos into it, which means that the forging will be extremely difficult from the beginning. Once he can’t support it, he will fail completely.”

Su Zhan’s expression was heavy.

It didn’t matter if he failed.

But if he failed, all those ninth grade materials, as well as the five Xiantian embryos, would all be destroyed.

So many materials were lost.

Even su Zhan felt his heart ache at the thought of Qin shujian.

With the infusion of the Xiantian embryo, the entire forging process had reached its peak.

At this moment.

The muscles in Qin shujian’s entire body tensed up. He had a serious expression on his face as he smashed down with the large hammer in his hand.

He didn’t use his spiritual will to form a hammer, because there was no need to.

In terms of effect, spiritual will was the same as true essence.

But speaking of it …

The former was pretentious, while the latter was plain and simple.

In the past, Qin shujian would definitely have used the hammer of his spiritual will to temper his body. However, he could not do so now.

This time, it was to build Liangshan city.

He had already invested too much into it. If it failed, he would be heartbroken to the point of tears.

&Nbsp; so,

Now was not the time to show off. As long as he could successfully forge a doctrine artifact, he would be truly showing off.

Bang-

The hammer fell, and the flames instantly disappeared.

At this moment, there was no need for flames anymore. As the Xiantian embryo fused into it, all he needed to do was to hammer it continuously and merge the two into one.

As the flames dispersed .

Qin shujian condensed his quintessential essence hammer with all his might and suddenly smashed it down. The hammer struck down.

The void trembled.

The liquid-like material, after fusing with the Xiantian embryo, gradually solidified under the hammer’s strike.

A squarish outline had already appeared.

When the outline appeared, the dark clouds in the sky finally reached their peak.

Crack-

A purple lightning bolt that was ten feet thick struck down.

In an instant, the vast heaven’s might made everyone’s expression change greatly.

The divine martial realm Grand cultivators felt a terrible threat from the purple lightning.

“It’s going to be upgraded to a doctrine artifact!” Su Zhan murmured.

Yes, it was.

It was about to upgrade to a Dao artifact.

This was only the beginning of the consolidation process, but there was already a Dao artifact lightning tribulation descending. Once he overcame the lightning tribulation, he would become a one seal Dao artifact.

If one were to say that a Dao artifact tribulation lightning would descend upon the successful consolidation process …

&Nbsp; in the end, this Dao artifact would at least become a two-seal Dao artifact. It might even be stronger.

&Nbsp; however, when the Consolidating Equipment began, a Dao artifact tribulation lightning would descend.

Then, this Dao artifact .

In the end, it would definitely not be as simple as the second seal.

Su Zhan took a deep breath.

He had already made up his mind. Once this matter was over, he had to invite Qin shujian over no matter what so that they could help build the gateway to the eastern continent.

When it came to the Dao of forging.

Su Zhan had always thought that no one in the world could match him.

Even towards other Grandmaster blacksmiths, his heart was filled with disdain.

But now …

Su Zhan finallv understood that there would alwavs be someone better than him.

When it came to the Dao of forging.

He was not as good as Qin shujian.

At this stage of forging, he was already more than half done.

The blacksmiths who came to observe had gained a lot.

However …

The ones who really gained the most were the superior-grade blacksmiths and the master blacksmiths.

The observation this time.

It had already paved the way for them to become Masters and grandmasters in the future.

After he had completely digested all these things, he might not have a 100% chance of breaking through, but at least he would have a certain success rate.

He had originally spent a ninth-tier material as a stepping stone.

For many people, this was a rather painful matter.

But now …

But no one felt heartache.

To them, a ninth tier material in exchange for a chance to observe was really worth it.

If possible.

They would rather use more ninth-tier materials in exchange for a few more chances to observe. This way, they would be able to break through with a hundred percent certainty.

However-

Such a thing could only be a thought.

Perhaps, after this, he might not have another chance like this in a few thousand years.

&Nbsp; so,

No one dared to be careless and get distracted. They all carefully observed Qin shujian’s every move and secretly compared it with the path they had taken.

They wanted to deduce the next realm.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The lightning fell, and the might of the heavens was vast.

Qin shujian held the hammer made of quintessential essence and struck the material that had condensed.

The current him did not dare to be easily distracted.

With every strike of the hammer.

The outline gradually became clear and solid.

Another three days passed.

The lightning tribulation disappeared, and the original squarish outline of the city could be seen.

The moment the lightning tribulation dissipated .

A Daoist seal had already been carved into it.

The appearance of the Dao seal meant that the item that Qin shujian was currently forging had officially entered the Dao artifact level.

Even though it was only a Dao artifact, it was still extremely powerful.

But in the eyes of others, it was already shocking.

It was different from the time when Qin shujian had forged his own doctrine artifact. This time, he had completed the process in front of everyone.

Now, the Dao seal had been formed.

Even if the forging failed, no one would say anything.

“I have no regrets seeing the birth of a doctrine artifact in my lifetime!” A master blacksmith exclaimed.

In the direction of the nine Palace sect.

Ling Huaiyu’s pretty face had already turned serious. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Qin shujian, and she didn’t move.

“A Dao artifact!”

it’s already a I-seal Dao artifact now. If this Dao artifact is completed, it’ll at least be a 3-seal Dao artifact!

Three seal Dao artifact!

Even among the top sects, they were considered sect guardians.

In the cultivation world.

The number of four-seal Dao artifacts could be counted with the fingers.

Many top sects only had three-seal Dao artifacts to suppress their fate. It was very difficult to go beyond that.

Only the Imperial court.

Only then would there be high-grade Dao artifacts.

In the past, the Dukes of the 13 constabularies had six-seal Dao weapons.

The Dao weapon that Qin shujian was currently forging already had the foundation of a top sect. As long as nothing went wrong, the Dao weapon would definitely be at the level of a three-seal when it was successfully forged.

Until now.

Ling Huaiyu no longer had any thoughts of competing with Qin shujian. He could only adopt a humble attitude and observe the forging process.

Qin Yuan didn’t know anything about forging.

However, he understood Ling Huaiyu.

Ling Huaiyu’s serious expression had already explained many things.

“Elder Ling, what do you think his chances of success are?”

if we don’t consider the interference of the lightning tribulation, we have at least an 80% chance of success. If it’s the lightning tribulation, it’s hard to say. Ling Huaiyu’s reply was rather meaningless.

Soon after.

She changed the topic and said, ” at this point, it doesn’t matter whether he succeeds or not in the end. It’s a success for Qin shujian. That’s because the Dao seal has been formed. This proves that he has succeeded in forging the Dao weapon.

Was it a success?

Qin yuanbai looked at the Dao seal that was emitting heaven’s might and was silent for a moment.

It was a success!

Because the Daoist seal had already appeared.

“If the nine Palace sect can provide you with the Xiantian embryo, do you have the confidence to craft a Dao weapon?” Qin yuanbai asked.

sect master, are you referring to Qin shujian or an ordinary one-seal Dao weapon? ‘

“What do you think, elder Ling?”

I can’t do what Qin shujian did. If it’s just a one-seal Dao weapon, I have a 30% chance of success.

Ling Huaiyu thought for a while and gave a rather accurate answer.

30% confidence.

This success rate was already not small.

If it was in the past, Ling Huaiyu would be able to say this in a very proud tone. However, she no longer had such thoughts.

The forging of Dao artifacts was indeed very powerful.

But one had to distinguish the people.

With a gem like Qin shujian in front of him, Ling Huaiyu felt that he didn’t have the right to compete with him.

Beside him, Qin yuanbai was also silent.

He could hear the lack of confidence in Ling Huaiyu’s words.

At this moment.

Qin shujian was still forging.

Even with his vast true essence, after such a long time of continuous forging, he had consumed nearly a third of his true essence.

Bang-

The hammer fell again, and the void twisted crazily. A vast wave spread out.

It was unknown when.

The lightning tribulation had already descended once again.

A Dao artifact!

Every time a Dao weapon was forged, it would attract a lightning tribulation.

Last time, the lightning tribulation was a Dao artifact seal.

The arrival of the lightning tribulation meant that the Dao artifact was transforming from one seal to two seals.

The pressure on him increased drastically. Qin shujian focused his mind. The only thing in his eyes was the true essence sledgehammer in his hand and the city of Liangshan that had already materialized beneath him.

At this moment.

He seemed to have moved to a different place.

In the dark.

A familiar energy was being summoned. The fatigue from the long period of tempering had disappeared in an instant.

Not only that.

A new wave of power surged from Qin shujian’s body, causing the strength of his hammer strikes to become even more terrifying.

Boom–

The illusionary River surged over.

The vast River came from the void and then flowed into the void.

And when the vast River appeared.

Su Zhan and Fang Yilan’s expressions changed drastically.

the river of laws!!

They hadn’t expected that Qin shujian would draw out the river of laws at this moment.

The river of laws.

It existed in the dark, between reality and illusion.

In order to summon the river of laws, one had to come into contact with the laws to an extremely deep level or completely master the laws before it could be summoned.

Otherwise …

There was only one possibility for others to summon the river of laws.

It was the belief of the cultivator.

In an instant, his compatibility with the river of laws rose to an extremely high level.

Su Zhan’s eyes were fixed on the river of laws as he said in disbelief, why would he summon the river of laws at this time? could it be that the laws he understands are unique to the Dao of forging? ‘

If that was the case …

Qin shujian was born to forge.

Fang Yilan was also staring intently. After a long while, she shook her head and said, ” no, it’s not the law of forging. I can feel an incomparable power from it. Perhaps he’s not in agreement with the law of forging, but the law of power!

“Rule force!”

Su Zhan’s expression was also a little strange.

There were very few people who could simply comprehend the rules of power. Those who used saber techniques and comprehended saber intent would usually conform to saber rules.

Those who used sword techniques and comprehended sword intent would usually be compatible with sword rules.

Even if someone used their fists to fight, it was very likely that they would also conform to the rules of the fist.

There were countless laws in the world, and one could comprehend any one of them. However, the law of power was different because it was too general.

Any cultivator.

They would all use strength.

However, there was no one in the human race who could truly comprehend the rules of power.

To put it bluntly.

Every cultivator knew how to use power, but very few cultivators could actually feel the existence of power.

This was a very mysterious thing.

Su Zhan had originally thought that Qin shujian would be able to comprehend rules similar to the way of the blade.

After all, he had heard of it before.

He knew that Qin shujian’s blade technique had also reached an extremely profound level.

However, he had never thought that .

Qin shujian would be compatible with the rules of power.

Soon after.

Su Zhan took another deep breath and said, ‘”‘To be able to summon the river of laws at this time, even if he didn’t reach the sixth level of celestial realm before, he’s probably close to it now.”

Once he summoned the river of laws, his understanding of it would rise sharply.

Not to mention reaching the seventh level of celestial realm and touching the rules.

But at least …

At the stage of understanding the rules, he had already reached an unimaginable level.

“It seems like the human race is going to have another powerful cultivator! ” Fang Yilan sighed.

The expert she was talking about.

He was at least at the peak of the Saint realm, or even a half-step Almighty.

The Dukes revolted.

The death of a large number of peak Saints had weakened the power of the human race.

It was just that the monster race had been expelled, so they could not see anything.

But to be serious …

In the various manors.

Now, there was already a lack of sixth-level Deva realm Dukes to suppress them.

Under such circumstances.

It would be a good thing for the human race to have another powerhouse at the Duke level.

In Fang Yilan’s opinion …

Qin shujian would definitely not stop at the sixth level of celestial realm.

With his talent .

The probability of him breaking through to become an Almighty in the future was almost a hundred percent.

On the other side.

At this moment, Qin yuanbai had completely fallen into a daze. The smile on his face had also stiffened.

He looked at the illusory River.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

What was that? if he was not mistaken, it should be the legendary long river of laws!

The inheritance of the nine Palace sect was not weak.

At its peak, it had also given birth to Saint realm experts.

Although Qin yuanbai, as the current leader of the nine Palace sect, had not reached the Saint level, he was still aware of the existence of the rules.

But knowing was knowing.

When he finally saw the rules, he could not suppress the shock in his heart.

the river of rules. Could it be that Qin shujian has really advanced to the fourth level of celestial realm or higher? ‘

Qin yuanbai didn’t dare to believe it, nor did he want to believe it.

Before he had come to the Liangshan spirit domain, he had scoffed at Qin shujian’s title as the strongest cultivator in the cultivation world.

As the saying goes.

There was no first in literature and no second in martial arts.

Before a real fight, the so-called number one title was just a joke.

Only those ordinary cultivators would believe in this title.

To a top expert like Qin yuanbai, unless he was truly beaten into submission, he would not admit that he was weaker than others.

However-

The moment he saw the river of laws .

Qin yuanbai’s heart was in a mess.

Fourth level of celestial realm!

The river of laws!

Even though Qin shujian had only just stepped into the fourth level of celestial realm, his abilities were still not something he could contend with.

Moreover …

Qin yuanbai looked at the long river of laws that he had summoned. He couldn’t believe that Qin shujian was only at the fourth level of celestial realm.

Initially, he had thought of sparring with Qin shujian.

But now, there was no more.

Because there was no need for that.

When the long river of laws appeared, Qin yuanbai knew that he had lost because of his opponent’s cultivation base.

He was defeated before the battle.

To him, this was something that was very difficult to accept.

However, Qin yuanbai wouldn’t go and humiliate himself since he had failed in front of his eyes.

Ling Huaiyu was also shocked by the appearance of the long river of laws. However, she was only a peak divine martial realm cultivator and didn’t understand the laws at all. She didn’t even recognize the long river of laws.

&Nbsp; so,

The moment Ling Huaiyu saw the long river of laws, he turned his head to look at Qin yuanbai, wanting to get an answer from him.

However, when he turned his head, he saw Qin yuanbai’s pale face.

Instantly.

Ling Huaiyu’s heart sank and he asked, “”Does sect master know what that illusionary River is?”

“I know!” Qin yuanbai’s face recovered with difficulty. Then, he spat out a few words with difficulty, “”The river of laws!” The river of laws?

Ling Huaiyu’s eyes flashed with doubt.

Qin yuanbai glanced at her and added, ” only experts at the fourth level of celestial realm and above can understand the laws, and only then can they possibly summon the river of laws.

BOOM!

Ling Huaiyu’s body trembled at his words.

She didn’t know anything else.

However, Ling Huaiyu still understood the words ‘fourth level of celestial realm’.

sect … Sect leader, are you saying that Qin shujian is already at the fourth level of celestial realm? ”

She stuttered a little and seemed a little nervous.

He had no choice.

This news was too shocking.

Qin yuanbai had also calmed down a lot. He took a deep breath and nodded.”lf I’m not mistaken, he’s at least at the fourth level of celestial realm, or even higher.”

“Didn’t he just break through to the Deva realm? How could it be like this!” Ling Huaiyu couldn’t believe it.

Qin yuanbai shook his head and said, ” there’s no need to investigate the cause. There’s no doubt that Qin shujian has become a saint. The nine Palace sect must not become his enemy in the future!

He couldn’t be defeated!

At the very least, before the nine Palace sect had a Saint warrior, they could not fall out with the yuan sect.

Otherwise …

Even if the nine Palace sect were to use all of their resources, they might not be able to resist.

After seeing Qin shujian’s strength .

A killing intent had already risen in Qin yuanbai’s heart.

This killing intent wasn’t directed at Qin shujian. It was directed at the Yin Yang sect and the Crimson heaven sect.

The nine Palace sect had also tacitly allowed the two sects to stop Yin Bancheng from breaking through. The nine Palace sect had also tried to stop Yuan sect from secretly attacking the two sects.

After all, it was the Bai Yong residence’s sect.

The nine Palace sect could not sit by and watch as the two sects suffer from the persecution of Yuan sect.

But now …

Qin yuanbai no longer had the thought of protecting the two sects.

This was because the sky origin sect was too strong. If the sky origin sect found an excuse to attack them or bore a grudge, it would be a huge nightmare for the nine Palace sect.

Even though the Yin Yang sect and the Scarlet heaven sect were the sects of Bai Yong Prefecture, they were still the most powerful sects in the region.

However, to the nine Palace sect, it did not have much connection.

At this moment.

Qin yuanbai had already given up on the two sects in his heart. Not only that, but he was also considering whether he should take the initiative to question the two sects and then do Yuan sect a favor.

However, if they did that, the nine Palace sect would lose face.

Just as Qin yuanbai was struggling.

The people who were watching were also shocked by the long river of laws.

The illusionary River contained a terrifying power that suppressed the void and froze it.

But just like Ling Huaiyu.

If one wasn’t a Deva, they wouldn’t know what laws were, let alone the existence of the river of laws.

&Nbsp; so,

Although the others were shocked, they had no idea what the long river of laws was.

On the other side.

The river of rules appeared, and Qin shujian’s power increased explosively.

He used his hammer to break up every lightning bolt that fell and then injected his power into the Dao artifact. The lightning tribulation this time.

It lasted for five days.

When the Thunder receded, the city had become clear, and the two Taoist seals exuded a terrifying power.

At this point.

The two-seal Dao artifact had been completed!
