#867 - Sword Refining
As layers of restrictions were cast, a special power connected with the fiery sea of heaven and earth. Flames surged forth, like fiery dragons coiling in the air.
Now, Li Chengfeng's understanding of the Fire Dao was even deeper. These flames were as obedient and docile as his own descendants.
Although they were scorching and intensely fervent, they were submissive and well-behaved before Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng laughed heartily, his cheerful laughter like a spring breeze brushing across a lake, creating ripples.
With a wave of his hand, Zhan Tie, the little artifact spirit of the Battle Iron, appeared before him like a nimble little elf.
This little fellow's strength had once again undergone an astonishing increase, having smoothly entered the Core Formation stage. The speed of this leap was so fast that it filled Li Chengfeng with joy, as if he saw the hope of his own future.
The appearance of Zhan Tie, the little artifact spirit, was like a dazzling star, illuminating the entire space.
With a thought, the Nine Profound Battle Iron split into three sword embryos as if imbued with life, clicking and clacking. They were as pure and flawless as newborn infants, landing before Li Chengfeng.
Zhan Tie, the little artifact spirit, upon seeing this, jumped up excitedly, as innocent and carefree as a three-year-old child.
With his red little hair buns, he exuded a youthful yet powerful aura, excitedly climbing all over Li Chengfeng, as if expressing his inner joy.
Li Chengfeng smiled slightly, and with another thought, his three treasures also appeared before him.
The first was the cast-off shell of the Gold Devouring Bug, radiating a faint golden light, like a precious gem; then there was the Demon Slaying Blade, its blade gleaming with cold light, as if capable of severing everything in the world; and the Chaos Pearl, its surface swirling with mysterious runes, emitting a palpitating aura.
These three treasures each exuded powerful might, causing the entire space to tremble.
Zhan Tie, the little artifact spirit, saw these treasures, his eyes lighting up, and with a "Yo!" he jumped onto the Gold Devouring Bug.
The current Gold Devouring Bug was thirty to forty zhang long, its massive body covered with hard scales, the golden yuan power on them like sharp blades cutting through the air, as if about to slice open the entire space.
However, the little fellow was not afraid at all. With a snap, he actually bit off a piece of the Gold Devouring Bug's scale.
This caused Li Chengfeng to gasp in surprise. He had to remember that the little fellow was only at the Core Formation stage, yet he already had such sharp teeth. This level of strength greatly pleased him.
"Haha, good, good, good!" Li Chengfeng said with a laugh, his tone full of praise and expectation.
He stroked Zhan Tie, the little artifact spirit's head, and said, "You should withdraw now. Don't eat it all for me. When we get to the Spirit Realm in the future, you will have plenty of opportunities to use your strength."
As he spoke, with a thought, Zhan Tie, the little artifact spirit, obediently entered the Living World space, continuing to grow and cultivate there.
Li Chengfeng reached out and grabbed the Demon Slaying Blade, which steadily landed in his hand as if drawn by an invisible force.
This demon blade, originating from the legendary Shura Sword, was a treasure left behind by an supreme expert, specifically used to deal with powerful ancient demons. Its immense power was enough to shake the heavens and the earth.
At this moment, a rich Shura power erupted from the Demon Slaying Blade, like surging waves, sweeping through the entire space.
Li Chengfeng's eyes were bright and piercing, revealing endless determination and domineering spirit. He sneered repeatedly, as if he had already foreseen the glorious moment when he would wield this blade and cut down all obstacles.
The Shura Sword was a treasure of the supreme great world, only separated from the Immortal Realm by a thin line.
Although the two Shura vanguard came from the Third-Class Shura Realm, their level of civilization and the strength of their cultivation methods were far beyond what the human world could currently compare to.
Li Chengfeng pondered secretly in his heart. With his profound cultivation and extraordinary wisdom, he had already deduced all the materials and formations of this Demon Slaying Blade.
On the Demon Slaying Blade, the intent of the blade crisscrossed, like dragons and snakes dancing, extremely domineering.
Every strand of blade intent contained endless slaughter and destruction, as if capable of severing all worldly restraints.
Li Chengfeng gently stroked the blade, feeling the Shura power flowing on it, and a surge of indescribable pride welled up in his heart.
In addition to the Demon Slaying Blade, Li Chengfeng also obtained many precious secret manuals.
These included the Shura Sword's blade techniques and the cultivation method, the Shura Cloud Piercing Skill.
However, he was not in a hurry to incorporate these cultivation methods into the Myriad Laws Unite.
Cultivation in each major realm required at least three cultivation methods to be practiced together in order to achieve the best results.
These cultivation methods had not yet reached his standards.
However, Li Chengfeng was not worried.
As he continued to ascend to other realms, or reached higher levels of the Spirit Realm, he would always have the opportunity to find cultivation methods that were more suitable for him.
He put the Shura Cloud Piercing Skill aside, his heart filled with anticipation and longing.
Through the soul analysis of the two, Li Chengfeng also learned about the wonders and mysteries of the Shura world.
That was a place where the strong were as numerous as clouds, a place where cultivation methods and treasures were everywhere.
A strong sense of yearning welled up in his heart, filled with envy.
He also knew clearly that he was not yet able to set foot on that mysterious land.
Li Chengfeng chuckled to himself in his heart. He seemed to have formed an inextricable bond with the Shura Realm. This karma might one day attract the attention and trouble of those supreme experts.
Just thinking about these possibly existing supreme experts made him feel a chill in his heart.
After all, those were existences above all living beings, and he was currently far from being able to provoke them.
Only by rapidly increasing his strength was the fundamental way to protect his little life.
Thinking of this, Li Chengfeng no longer hesitated. He took a deep breath, and his hands quickly formed seals. Restrictions, like twinkling stars, fell on the Demon Slaying Blade.
The materials of this Demon Slaying Blade were too high-grade. Even with Li Chengfeng's current methods, it took a full ten years to finally refine it.
After refining it, he threw the Demon Slaying Blade to Old Demon.
Old Demon took the Demon Slaying Blade and immediately began to refine it with fierce fire, while Little Vermilion Bird also helped from the side, spitting out raging flames to assist Old Demon.
At the same time, Li Chengfeng took out the new sword embryo and began to inscribe restrictions.
As his realm continued to improve, his refining techniques also became increasingly sophisticated.
Now, he could inscribe hundreds of thousands of restrictions in an area the size of a fist. The speed of this increase in strength was simply terrifying.
Moreover, these restrictions were no longer as ordinary and unremarkable as before, but had become more efficient and more refined.
Time flowed by like water, and another ten years passed in the blink of an eye.
In these ten years, Li Chengfeng worked tirelessly day and night, finally completing the inscription of all the restrictions on the sword embryo.
Next was the most critical fusion step.
During the fusion, Li Chengfeng, Old Demon, and Little Vermilion Bird took turns, each displaying their full abilities to perfectly fuse the sword embryo with various materials.
This process was extremely difficult, requiring extremely high skill and patience. However, the three of them were not discouraged and steadfastly moved towards their goal.
Thirty years passed in an instant, and fifty years passed in a hurry.
In these long years, they finally completed the refining and fusion of the first sword embryo.
This sword embryo radiated a dazzling light, as if containing endless power and mystery.
Li Chengfeng carefully sent it into the sword furnace and began the final refining.
Next, Li Chengfeng no longer hesitated, and he took out the Chaos Pearl again, and began to refine it in the same way.
