Chapter 765 - Unity with Heaven and Earth
Liu Wuxie was surprised when he noticed that the Heretic Blade's blade had become translucent. Even a grandmaster blacksmith like him had never seen this occurrence before.
Golden patterns that resembled human meridians had appeared in the depth of the Heretic Blade. This soon made Liu Wuxie's face reflect with sheer amazement. He couldn't fathom how a weapon could develop meridians like humans. It was no wonder why the tribulation would rumble with such intensity outside.
If fully matured, the potential of such a weapon would be limitless, and it might even ascend to the rank of an immortal artifact. Inside, a miniature golden dragon devoured the profound metal essence. That was the Heretic Blade's artifact spirit, a golden divine dragon.
As the aura from the Heretic Blade rose, the artifact spirit's spirituality grew stronger. First, the meridians emerged, and soon after, bone structures began to emerge on the blade. The bones were like the weapon's core, holding the entire blade together in an unbreakable bond.
This meant even cultivators in the True Profound Realm would have difficulty trying to destroy the Heretic Blade.
"Is this the rumored unity of heaven and earth?" Liu Wuxie exclaimed. A blacksmithing technique was rumored to be so advanced that it could achieve unity with heaven and earth.
Such weapons were indestructible and could take on various forms, including human forms. Moreover, they would possess flesh and blood as these weapons could mimic a human perfectly while retaining the ability to take on various weapon forms.
Most importantly, these types of weapons could be cultivated independently and even burrow into the earth to absorb suitable materials and evolve.
However, that concept was a myth, and Liu Wuxie had never witnessed it before. He wasn't sure if it even existed.
Each meridian was akin to a dragon's vein, and each bone was like a dragon's bone. The Heretic Blade also began to advance without limits, bolting toward the rank of an origin artifact. And so, the tribulation began.
The thunderous roar echoed through the sky as lightning struck Liu Wuxie's cultivation chamber, blasting a massive hole in the roof with thunderclouds enveloping the skies above him.
For days, Liu Xiucheng and the others hadn't caught a wink, anxious about the brewing thunderclouds. That was especially the case for Liu Dashan, who would periodically come to check on the cultivation chamber.
As soon as the tribulation struck, Liu Xiucheng and the higher hierarchies of the clan arrived swiftly.
"Patriarch, what kind of weapon is it to cause such devastating commotion?" the Eighteenth Elder asked, his face palpitating with fear. They were cultivators in the Spirit Profound Realm, and even they felt fearful of the aura released by the Heretic Blade.
"Seal off this area, and anyone who leaks a word of what happened today will face my wrath!" Liu Xiucheng ordered. If someone learned that the weapon forged by Liu Wuxie could cause a tribulation, countless people would fight to claim it for themselves.
Meanwhile, disciples discussed among themselves outside. But as they had no idea what was happening, they began to speculate wildly. Some claimed that Liu Wuxie had committed a crime to incur divine punishment, while others said he was practicing a heaven-defying martial technique that summoned the tribulation. There were various speculations without a definitive answer.
Fortunately, Liu Xiaotian wasn't in the clan, nor did anyone from his faction come. They all hoped for Liu Wuxie's demise, so how would they pay attention to him?
"What terrifying tribulation. It contains the flame of destruction along with annihilating lightning," Liu Dazhi said, shuddering with concern.
Liu Dashan stood in the distance with his fists clenched. He barely suppressed the urge to rush over and shield Liu Wuxie from the tribulation, but Liu Xiucheng stopped him.
After all, Liu Dashan would only be a burden if he rushed over, and it was no different from courting death for him to withstand the destructive power of the tribulation with his physique.
His arrival immediately drew greetings from the onlookers, as this person was the lord of the Astral Glory City.
Had Liu Wuxie known that re-forging the Heretic Blade would draw such an assembly of experts, he would've been utterly astounded.
The news from outside the gate soon reached Liu Xiucheng, who hadn't expected the gathering of such a formidable crowd.
When a thunderbolt landed on the Heretic Blade, a metallic clang reverberated across tens of thousands of miles. Those with weaker cultivation were forced to cover their ears as they collapsed on the ground, unable to bear the sound ringing against their eardrums.
Only those in the Nascent Transformation Realm could barely hold their footing, while the expressions of those in the True Profound Realm turned grim. No one was spared from the soundwave.
After being tempered by lightning, the Heretic Blade's quality leaped to a new level. After all, it was unavoidable for there to be minor flaws when forging a weapon, while lightning was the embodiment of pure yang elements in heaven and earth. It represented the ultimate destruction, but the dormant vitality would be reignited after extreme destruction.
This is why withered trees sprout anew after being struck by lightning. Lightning contains both destruction and life, granting life to a tree on the brink of death, like electricity can jump-start a stopped heart.
The tribulation sought to destroy the Heretic Blade, but the vitality within nourished the blade simultaneously. After the Heretic Blade was upgraded, it now required an immense influx of energy to replenish itself, and the lightning from tribulation was the perfect nourishment.
The heavens grew enraged after failing to destroy the Heretic Blade as a thunderbolt with the thickness of a water barrel descended from the sky.
The cultivation chamber where Liu Wuxie stayed had long been reduced to ruins, unable to withstand the bombardment of lightning. The thunderbolts even left large craters on the ground after their havoc, and some buildings collapsed under the relentless onslaught.
This forced Liu Xiucheng and others to retreat even further.
As for Liu Wuxie, who stood at the epicenter of the thunderclouds, his entire being was enveloped in lightning with lightning arc flickering on his body, and the slightest mistake could lead to his annihilation.
"True Dragon Physique, refine it!" Liu Wuxie bellowed as he used the tribulation to temper his body. But in mere moments, his skin was torn apart under the tribulation, a spectacle too harrowing to witness as tears welled up in Liu Dashan's eyes.
If Liu Dazhi and Liu Dayue hadn't held him back, he would've rushed over, unable to bear the sight of his son enduring such torment.
The Heretic Blade released a light hum as lightning tempered it. After the blade gave birth to a skeletal frame, it became indestructible and was only vulnerable to Liu Wuxie himself.
But if Liu Wuxie were killed, the Heretic Blade would become a weapon without an owner.
"Heal!" Liu Wuxie mobilized the Ancestral Tree and channeled wood-attributed energy into his body to heal his injuries. Even so, the healing speed couldn't keep up with the destruction.
Thunderbolts rained like a storm, striking Liu Wuxie and leaving his arm stripped to bare bones. This was a harrowing sight to the onlookers, and Liu Wuxie would die if he couldn't heal himself in time, even if he had succeeded in refining the Heretic Blade.
Moreover, Liu Wuxie had consumed all the treasures he had, and he only had a few pills left.
"The mysterious horn!" Liu Wuxie immediately recalled the mysterious horn. Since it came from a divinekin, the Ancestral Tree should be able to absorb it, and it might spark a miracle.
