"Have you found a peak-grade Earth Fire?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"No," Dugu Fengwu replied.
"How long until the Earth Fire blooms?
Yang Dingtian asked.
"It should be blooming by now," Dugu Fengwu replied.
However, there was no reaction from the surroundings.
"Are we going to jump down?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"If you want to jump, you have to hand over the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer first."
Dugu Fengwu said indifferently. She wouldn't jump down anyway because she felt an incomparably fatal danger below. It was even more dangerous than the Heaven Flame Phoenix.
"There is nothing around here. How can there be a peak-grade Earth Fire?" Yang Dingtian asked.
Dugu Fengwu didn't say anything. Instead, she grabbed Yang Dingtian and flew up a dozen meters. Then, she said, "Look at the place you were lying on. What does it look like?"
Yang Dingtian opened his eyes and looked. Yes, it looked like a candlestick, a round candlestick.
Could it be a natural candlestick for a peak-grade Earth Fire? Why would a peak-grade Earth Fire bloom here?
Just as Yang Dingtian was expressing his doubts, a green flame suddenly emerged from the platform.
It was very young, very lively, very mysterious, and very beautiful.
It was indeed here. A peak-grade Earth Fire was indeed here. This was a peak-grade Earth Fire!
Yang Dingtian was ecstatic.
Then, he saw this seedling of Earth Fire grow bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger ….
But the strange thing was that Yang Dingtian couldn't feel the existence of any heat. It was as though it was an ice fire.
However, Yang Dingtian could still feel its shocking energy. The surrounding air was avoiding it. The Heaven Flame Phoenix was ten thousand meters above the ground. It didn't dare to make a sound.
Its incomparably powerful energy was completely suppressed by this peak-grade Earth Fire even though it was so far away.
Ten minutes later, the flame was about five inches in size. Its color had also turned from green to blue.
When the flame grew to one foot long, it would be considered to have reached the peak of maturity.
However, when it was at its brightest, it could only last for less than twenty minutes. After twenty minutes, it would start to wither.
Therefore, Yang Dingtian only had twenty minutes to forge the youngling sword.
One minute …
Two minutes …
Three minutes …
The flame continued to grow bigger and bigger, turning from blue to yellow, and then from yellow to light red.
Finally, the light red color gradually turned into a deep red color.
The ultimate color of a supreme-grade Earth Fire was purple.
Seeing the deep red color gradually turning into purple, Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwu couldn't help but hold their breaths.
At this moment, the flames were already eight inches tall.
"Whoosh …" There was no wind, but the top-grade Earth Flame flickered and suddenly rose to a height of one chi. At the same time, it turned a deep purple.
The peak-grade Earth Fire had matured and completely bloomed.
Moreover, this flame instantly became incomparably beautiful and enchanting.
It was as if it had a soul, dancing and swaying gently, as if it was blooming with joy.
It looked like a flower, but it also looked like a beauty. Looking at it, there was a kind of unreal beauty and dreamy feeling.
At this moment, the supreme-grade Earth Fire displayed a completely different kind of peerless beauty.
It didn't look like a flame, nor did it look like a flower. Instead, it looked like a life form, a peerless beauty that was blooming its beauty.
*****
"Mystic Fire Devil Hammer …" Dugu Fengwu stretched out her hand and directly asked Yang Dingtian for it.
Yang Dingtian intentionally reached behind his back and took out the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer from his spatial ring. However, he pretended to take it out from under his butt.
Dugu Fengwu was startled and slightly frowned. Of course, she knew that Yang Dingtian didn't really take out the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer from under his butt, but she couldn't care less at this moment.
After taking the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer, Dugu Fengwu quickly took out a box from her back.
She then took out the Bloody Black Gold and threw it on top of the supreme-grade Earth Fire.
She was very fast and quickly piled dozens of Bloody Black Gold into a pyramid, burying the supreme-grade Earth Fire within.
After that, Dugu Fengwu looked at this pyramid of Bloody Black Gold nervously.
In fact, 99 Bloody Black Gold was enough to forge a complete soul sword. Now, Dugu Fengwu actually used dozens of Bloody Black Gold to forge a fledgling sword. It could be seen how high the grade of the soul sword that she was going to forge would be. At least a few hundred Bloody Black Gold was needed, and it was unknown how many years she spent to obtain all these Bloody Black Gold.
"My speed is considered slow. Your fiancée's fledgling sword has already been forged for two years." Dugu Fengwu said, but she couldn't help but look at Yang Dingtian with a proud expression.
After that, Yang Dingtian saw that the extremely hard and sturdy Bloody Black Gold was almost unafraid of any flames. It gradually turned from purple to red, just like before it was dug up.
When these Bloody Black Gold were red to the extreme, it gradually started to melt.
Three minutes later, a total of 45 Bloody Black Gold turned into a pile of molten iron. The supreme-grade Earth Fire danced and jumped in the red molten iron.
When the Earth Fire was blooming, it didn't feel hot at all. Now, it was so hot that it felt like it was going to be roasted.
Of course, the terrifying heat didn't come from the Earth Fire, but from the molten Bloody Black Gold.
Even though they were dozens of meters apart, Yang Dingtian could feel the terrifying heat. Therefore, even with Dugu Fengwu's strength, she only dared to stay dozens of meters away from this pile of molten iron.
Dugu Fengwu put two fingers together in the air, and her entire body's mystic qi burst out. She used her mystic qi to gather the molten iron into the shape of an artifact sword.
It was just that the rough embryo that hadn't been forged yet weighed 500 kilograms. It was over two meters long, five inches wide, and three inches tall.
This kind of sword couldn't be used because there were a lot of impurities in it. Therefore, the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer had to be used together with the supreme-grade Earth Fire to smash out the impurities and burn them with the Earth Fire.
The sword embryo in front of Dugu Fengwu's eyes had to be hammered and forged countless times before it could become a complete fledgling sword.
Even though it was just a fledgling sword, it was still very powerful.
Even though it was just a fledgling sword, its power might have already surpassed most of the famed swords in the world.
After condensing all the molten iron with her mystic qi, Dugu Fengwu held the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer with one hand and poured in her mystic qi.
In an instant, the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer suddenly turned red and blossomed with a dazzling radiance. The originally ordinary Mystic Fire Devil Hammer had now become incomparably domineering and powerful.
When the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer's radiance was at its peak, Dugu Fengwu let go of her jade-like hand. The devil hammer instantly floated in the air and flew towards the melted sword embryo.
When it was above the sword embryo, the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer was raised high and smashed down.
Even though Dugu Fengwu was dozens of meters away, she was still able to control the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer. It was as though she was holding the hammer and smashing it down.
"Dang …" There was a loud sound, and the sword embryo suddenly burst out with countless gray spots. Under the effect of the supreme-grade Earth Fire, it was instantly burned and turned into ashes. Not a single impurity was left behind.
"Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang …"
After that, Dugu Fengwu's right hand held the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer and rapidly hammered the forging fledgling sword.
In just a short second, she had actually hammered down dozens of times.
In an instant, countless sparks flew, and it was as though an incomparably resplendent firework was blooming.
Yang Dingtian was temporarily petrified.
An absolute beauty wearing a gorgeous palace attire was crazily hammering with a huge hammer. This scene was extremely impactful to anyone.
However, Yang Dingtian wasn't in the mood to appreciate this incomparably moving scene. It was because he had discovered a very, very important problem.
Firstly, he didn't have enough Mystic Qi to control the molten iron and was unable to condense it into a sword embryo.
Secondly, he didn't have enough Mystic Qi to swing the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer in the air. He didn't even have enough Mystic Qi to ignite the devil hammer.
However, no one had told Yang Dingtian that he needed to do this. His master, Dongfang Minmie's soul spirit, was temporarily unable to awaken. Otherwise, he would have definitely told Yang Dingtian and told him the solution.
Just as Yang Dingtian was worrying about this, Dugu Fengwu had already hammered down thousands of times. Countless sparks flew, and the entire dark space was completely illuminated.
After that, that thick sword embryo was constantly shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was becoming more exquisite.
Two minutes …
Three minutes …
Five minutes …
Dugu Fengwu's skin was getting redder and redder. It was obvious that she had already exhausted all her strength.
In just a few minutes, she had already hammered down thousands of times.
For an expert of her level, it was almost impossible for her to sweat. However, at this moment, she was actually drenched in sweat. Her pair of beautiful eyes seemed to be burning.
"Dang Dang Dang Dang …" In the last minute, she was hammering faster and faster. In the end, she couldn't even see the shadow of the devil hammer. Only a bundle of flames could be seen crazily drawing an arc. After that, countless sparks burst out.
"Ah …" With a delicate cry, Dugu Fengwu opened her small mouth and spat out a stream of blood, which splashed onto the forged fledgling sword.
"Si …" The blood instantly evaporated.
At the same time, the final hammer was hammered down.
The forging of the entire sword soul, the fledgling sword, was completed.
Dugu Fengwu's delicate body swayed slightly, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
Letting out a long breath, her jade-like hand sucked, and that forged fledgling sword immediately flew to her palm.
At this moment, the fiery red color had just faded away, and the entire fledgling sword revealed its true appearance.
This truly didn't look like a fledgling sword. The blade light was like water, and it could cut through the hair. The entire treasured sword was exquisite to the extreme. It was sparkling and translucent. Anyone who saw it would know that this was an exceptional treasured sword. No one knew how stunning it would be when it truly turned into a soul sword in the future.
"The sword's weight is 130 kilograms, and the mystic qi boost is 25%!" Dugu Fengwu grabbed her own fledgling sword, and her beautiful eyes revealed an intoxicated radiance.
A fledgling sword forged with 45 pieces of Bloody Black Gold was already considered a high-grade sword. A 130 kilogram fledgling sword was already a top-grade sword.
Not to mention the 25% mystic qi boost, which was already very shocking. It had already surpassed most of the divine weapons in the world. The mystic qi boost was merely a supplementary function of the fledgling sword.
Therefore, a soul sword was so powerful. Even a fledgling sword was so shocking.
"It's your turn."
Dugu Fengwu swung the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer, and it instantly flew to Yang Dingtian. Her face was filled with undisguised ridicule.
Yang Dingtian was merely a Mystic Martial Warrior who wasn't even at the sixth grade, and he actually wanted to forge a sword soul fledgling sword. She really wanted to know what kind of fledgling sword Yang Dingtian could forge. Furthermore, she didn't see where Yang Dingtian placed the Bloody Black Gold. Even if nine pieces of Bloody Black Gold were piled together, the volume would still be quite big.
Yang Dingtian didn't care so much at this moment. He directly went to the side of the supreme-grade Earth Fire. With his back facing Dugu Fengwu, he quickly poured all 45 pieces of 10,000-year-old Bloody Black Gold onto the Mystic Fire.
After that, he immediately took a dozen steps back and held the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer, waiting for the Bloody Black Gold to melt.
Behind him, Dugu Fengwu's beautiful eyes were looking at this pile of Bloody Black Gold in disbelief.
Where did Yang Dingtian hide so much Bloody Black Gold? Where did he get it from? She was very puzzled, but this wasn't the most important thing right now.
The most important thing was, where did Yang Dingtian get so much Bloody Black Gold?
Moreover, it was 10,000-year-old Bloody Black Gold, which was completely different from the Bloody Black Gold she had before.
A total of 45 10,000-year-old Bloody Black Gold. Where did he get it?
Originally, Dugu Fengwu thought that Yang Dingtian had only gotten a few leftover pieces of Bloody Black Gold from Ximen Wuya. At most, there wouldn't be more than nine pieces.
However, he actually took out 45 pieces of 10,000-year-old Bloody Black Gold in one go.
This was too shocking and inconceivable.
However, Yang Dingtian didn't care about Dugu Fengwu's astonished gaze. He had already waited for three minutes, and he still hadn't seen the Bloody Black Gold melt.
Dugu Fengwu's Bloody Black Gold had already completely melted into a pile of molten iron.
Another two minutes passed.
That pile of Bloody Black Gold hadn't melted, but it had turned red.
Another three minutes passed.
Yang Dingtian's 45 pieces of Bloody Black Gold had finally melted, but they hadn't turned into molten iron yet. They had only melted into a lump.
What was strange was that when Dugu Fengwu's Bloody Black Gold melted, the temperature was very shocking.
However, at this moment, Yang Dingtian was less than ten meters away, and he actually couldn't feel any heat.
There were only less than two minutes left before the peak grade Earth Fire withered. Yang Dingtian couldn't wait any longer.
He couldn't use his mystic qi to condense the melted Bloody Black Gold into a shape, and he couldn't wield the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer in the air.
Therefore, he held the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer tightly and poured in his mystic qi.
"Swish …" Suddenly, this Mystic Fire Devil Hammer bloomed with a dazzling light. It was even more shocking than when Dugu Fengwu poured in her mystic qi.
What was going on?
Could it be that this Mystic Fire Devil Hammer didn't have a requirement for the level of mystic qi, but the grade of mystic meridians?
Dugu Fengwu once again revealed a look of disbelief. She looked at Yang Dingtian with a complicated gaze.
After a slight surprise, Yang Dingtian didn't have any extra time. He walked directly to the pile of Bloody Black Gold and smashed down with his hammer.
"Bang …" There was a loud sound, and countless rays of light burst out.
This was the impurities in the ten-thousand-year-old Bloody Black Gold. The light that burst out was like a planet exploding, bursting out dust. It was incomparably small, but incomparably dazzling, and it covered the entire space.
This countless dust was like a comet cloud blooming, but it was fleeting.
Therefore, it couldn't hurt anyone.
"Bang … Bang …"
There wasn't much time left. Yang Dingtian crazily hammered down and hammered.
His speed wasn't as fast as Dugu Fengwu, and he could only hammer down seven or eight times in a second.
In the burst of flames, that pile of Bloody Black Gold was gradually forged by Yang Dingtian.
However, the remaining two minutes passed quickly.
The supreme-grade Earth Fire flickered for a moment before it began to shrink and fade.
The Earth Fire began to wither.
Using the last bit of heat, Yang Dingtian crazily hammered down.
He used up all his mystic qi, used up all his knowledge, and forgot everything around him. In the entire world, there was only the incomplete sword in front of him and the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer in his hand.
"Dang Dang Dang Dang …"
He crazily hammered and forged.
That Mystic Fire was getting smaller and smaller, and its color was getting lighter and lighter.
The sword embryo that Yang Dingtian was crazily hammering was getting darker and harder.
The Bloody Black Gold was about to solidify.
He had to take advantage of the last bit of heat left in the Bloody Black Gold to inscribe his master's mark with blood.
Otherwise, it would be too late.
"Last hundred times, just a hundred times …"
Yang Dingtian wasn't willing to let it end like this. He fiercely bit his tongue and hammered crazily with his mouth full of blood.
Twenty times …
Thirty times …
Fifty times …
The peak grade Earth Fire was getting darker and darker, and it was almost invisible. With just a breath, it would be extinguished.
As for that sword embryo, it was almost completely solidified.
Yang Dingtian crazily hammered down.
Eighty times …
Ninety times …
One hundred times …
"Pfff!"
Finally, Yang Dingtian fiercely spat out a mouthful of blood, which sprayed on the sword embryo and the almost extinguished peak grade Earth Fire.
"Boom …" Suddenly, a lump of flame soared to the sky.
Afterward, all the flames seemed to be alive as they drilled into that youngling sword that Yang Dingtian was forging.
As for the pale-white Earth Fire, it shook for a moment before completely disappearing.
Yang Dingtian's legs went soft, and he collapsed on the ground, unable to get up for a moment.
…
"Aren't you going to see what your youngling sword looks like?" Dugu Fengwu asked.
Yang Dingtian used all his strength to crawl up from the ground and walked over to grab that youngling sword.
At the same time, a lump of flame lit up. Dugu Fengwu used her mystic qi to ignite a lump of flame.
"Pfff …" Seeing the shape of Yang Dingtian's youngling sword, Dugu Fengwu couldn't help but laugh.
As for Yang Dingtian, he wanted to cry.
This, was this a sword?
It was obviously an iron rod, a pitch-black iron rod.
Furthermore, this wasn't an iron rod that was used for practicing martial arts. It was a very coarse and irregularly shaped fire rod.
It was very heavy, and Yang Dingtian could feel that this iron rod was at least 150 kilograms.
Dugu Fengwu's youngling sword was only 50 kilograms, which was only one-third of Yang Dingtian's youngling sword's weight.
However, there was another feeling, a warm feeling. It was very strange, very comfortable, and even very mysterious.
It was as though this iron rod was faintly hiding an ignorant soul. As long as Yang Dingtian held onto this iron rod tightly, he would be able to feel its excitement and restlessness. It was as though it couldn't wait to interact with Yang Dingtian intimately. However, it couldn't move or speak. There was only a feeling, a subtle and intimate feeling.
Yang Dingtian's heart felt warm as he looked at this iron rod and instantly felt that it was much cuter.
No matter what it looked like, it was ultimately forged by him. Every piece of Bloody Black Gold was dug out by him, and it was as though it was his own child. No matter what, it was the cutest.
"It is you. You will be my weapon for this lifetime. From today onwards, we will be inseparable." Yang Dingtian slowly said in his heart.
As though it felt Yang Dingtian's words, that lump of chaos in the youngling sword jumped again.
"Your youngling sword, let me take a look." Dugu Fengwu extended her hand and said.
Yang Dingtian hesitated for a moment before handing it over.
"Oh my god!
How is this possible? "
After Dugu Fengwu received it, she instantly let out a cry of surprise. She then looked at Yang Dingtian with an expression of disbelief and said, "Yang Dingtian, are you the illegitimate child of the heavens?"
