Ye Yunfei's figure flickered as he flew to a spot high in the air. He formed hand seals with both hands and sent a dozen fiery runes striking down onto the ground below, causing the earth to shudder and shake.
"Open!"
At a certain moment, Ye Yunfei let out a loud shout and stomped down viciously with his foot onto the ground.
BOOM! CRASH!...
Ye Yunfei's foot rapidly enlarged, instantly transforming into a colossal foot that stomped onto the earth, immediately cracking open a massive fissure in the ground with a deafening roar.
BOOM!
A fire dragon radiating startling heat erupted from beneath the fissure, instantly scorching the surrounding space until it rippled and distorted.
"The ancient Earth Vein of our Ziwei Sect!
It has indeed been opened!
Su Fei, your methods are truly divine!"
Ning Zhongqi, seeing the fire dragon, was stirred to the extreme.
"Elder Ning, I am going to begin refining artifacts now."
Ye Yunfei retrieved a large cauldron and suspended it above the ground fissure.
Now, this fissure had become a vent for fire, with fierce flames continuously billowing up from below, causing the temperature of the area to rise by at least several tens of degrees.
Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged before the large cauldron and took out a massive batch of refining materials, including those three Annihilation Treasures.
Of course, these three Annihilation Treasures had long since lost their power, so they appeared ordinary and unremarkable, with no fearsome energy or laws emanating from them.
With a flick of his sleeve, Ye Yunfei sent all the refining materials tumbling into the large cauldron in front of him.
Next, Ye Yunfei retrieved that Sentient Treasure he had already refined.
"It's a Sentient Treasure!"
Ning Zhongqi, standing to the side, showed a look of shock.
Given his eyesight, recognizing this Sentient Treasure was naturally easy.
To be able to refine a Sentient Treasure further required an extremely high level of artifact forging skill!
Ye Yunfei pointed a finger and sent the longsword flying into the large cauldron before him.
"Rise, Fire!"
Seated cross-legged before the cauldron, Ye Yunfei formed hand seals, performed an ingenious flame-control formula, and uttered a soft command.
WHOOOSH…
A raging blaze surged up from the ground fissure.
BOOM! CRASH!...
Surging roars like raging waves emanated from within the cauldron.
For the following time, Ye Yunfei sat motionless before the cauldron, meticulously controlling the heat.
"So Su Fei's artifact forging skills are also this incredible!
So young, yet proficient in Formations, Alchemy, Forging, and more. Truly a rare fiendish young talent in this world!
With him here, the rise of our Ziwei Sect is hopeful!"
Ning Zhongqi couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"Relay my order: seal off this area. Great Senior Brother Su Fei is forging an artifact here."
Ning Zhongqi sent a Sound Transmission to the disciples of the Puppet Hall.
The Puppet Hall had now developed into a fairly large branch hall, having recruited a substantial number of disciples with relatively high forging talent.
Following Ning Zhongqi's order, the area was immediately cordoned off.
Six days passed.
"Open!"
Ye Yunfei pointed a finger, and the lid of the cauldron before him flew open.
All the refining materials within had fused into that longsword. Only the sword remained, undulating up and down inside the cauldron, erupting with dazzling light.
Ye Yunfei poked a finger at his own chest. A stream of vivid, bright blood spurted out and fell upon the longsword.
"Using one's own vital essence blood to forge an artifact!"
Ning Zhongqi's pupils contracted as he cried out in surprise.
And so, vital essence blood continuously surged from Ye Yunfei's chest, sprinkling down onto that longsword.
About half an hour later, Ye Yunfei pointed at his chest and stopped the bleeding.
"The sword is complete!"
Ye Yunfei pointed at the large cauldron in front of him and uttered a soft command.
BOOM! CRASH!...
The longsword within the cauldron shot up into the sky, transforming into a brilliant sword-dragon.
From afar, it looked like a giant dragon, its entire body radiating dazzling, divine light, had soared into the heavens.
Wherever this dragon passed, a pitch-black spatial tear was left behind.
This was because the sword was far too sharp—it sliced through space itself!
Fortunately, the Primordial Continent was a high-level world; its spatial self-healing ability was very powerful. Soon, the pitch-black spatial rift slowly healed over.
BOOM! CRASH!...
The longsword soared high in the sky, bursting with powerful suction force. Heaven and Earth essence swept toward it like rivers and seas, pouring into the body of the sword.
"This sword can actually devour Heaven and Earth essence on its own!
Su Fei, what grade of magical treasure is this?"
Seeing this scene, Ning Zhongqi couldn't help but feel shocked.
"It should still belong to the Sentient Treasure category, but it can crush every other Sentient Treasure in the world."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment, then replied with a smile.
The materials from three Annihilation Treasures, along with a large batch of high-grade refining materials, had been fused into this longsword. Furthermore, Ye Yunfei had forged it using an extremely profound secret forging technique. Its power far exceeded that of ordinary Sentient Treasures.
"With this longsword, combined with my Unifying Heaven and Earth Sword Intent, I can be considered a top expert within these Eastern Barrens.
Next time, whoever dares to make a move against me will face the consequences."
Ye Yunfei examined the longsword high in the sky, feeling extremely satisfied. He thought to himself.
Although his own spiritual energy realm was still relatively low, by wielding this longsword and his other aces, he was confident in contending against the top experts of the Eastern Barrens.
The reason Ye Yunfei had greatly accelerated and comprehensively boosted his various capabilities during this period was because he understood that after the events in the Cangmang Sea, those major forces of the Eastern Barrens would definitely spare no effort to deal with him.
"What's happening?"
At this moment, everyone within the Ziwei Sect headquarters looked up at the sword-dragon soaring high in the sky, wide-eyed and slack-jawed.
"I heard it's Great Senior Brother Su Fei forging an artifact!"
"The Great Senior Brother is too incredible!"
"..."
The disciples of the Ziwei Sect discussed animatedly.
"Turns out this kid's forging skills are also this formidable. What kind of freak is he?
Where on earth did he come from?
But no matter what, he is a blessing for our Ziwei Sect. Our sect will rise because of him."
Within the Ancestral Temple, the Mysterious Turtle was currently in seclusion cultivation. Sensing this, he couldn't help but murmur to himself.
He had been refining in seclusion these past few days, absorbing the Divine Crystal and those Silence-Grade pills Ye Yunfei had given him.
That Divine Crystal had brought him immense benefits. The various hidden injuries in his body were constantly healing, and the aura he radiated grew increasingly powerful.
He was the ancient guardian divine beast of the Ziwei Sect and had once been one of the top experts of the Eastern Barrens!
"It's Su Fei forging a sword!"
Sect Leader Liu and the other elders stood in the distance, looking at the dazzlingly brilliant longsword in the sky above the Back Mountain, sighing in amazement.
While everyone was stunned, Ye Yunfei pointed a finger. The longsword in the high sky descended, directly plunging into Ye Yunfei's body.
This sword had fused with a significant amount of Ye Yunfei's vital essence blood, becoming almost one with him.
During this period, Ye Yunfei's physical power, Soul Power, Greenwood Emperor Body, Nine-Yang Scripture and other aspects had all made leaps and bounds of progress. His overall combat strength had soared in a short amount of time!
