"Hua!"
Complicated exclamations were echoing in the sword test field on the Bronze Censer Peak.
Many elders, leaders, and leaders in the Yuanying level had already guessed that Li Yao was probably a Yuanying, too.
But never in their dreams did they expect that Li Yao, as a Yuanying, would unleash such intimidating aura after his roar!
Judging from the spiritual waves that he unleashed like a volcanic eruption, it was definitely not something that a beginner in the beginning level of the Yuanying Stage could unleash. It was even beyond the rarely-seen middle level of the Yuanying Stage. Instead, he was on par with the renowned experts such as the Three Saints and Four Rapscallions!
He was a brutal man who was likely to be ranked among the top ten experts in the world!
He might even be qualified to compete with the top experts such as Qi Zhongdao and Yan Liren!
His conversation with Yan Liren a moment ago might not have been a bluff, but it was actually —
The green spiritual waves that Li Yao unleashed were like a weird bird that flapped its wings and snatched at Bu Tiantong brutally!
His sudden outburst put Bu Tiantong under the greatest pressure.
The toughest expert of the Gold Armor Clan seemed to have really been taken as a target by a roc that was soaring in the sky and lunged at him from the high stance!
Bu Tiantong had never thought that his opponent could actually be so ferocious to this extent!
However, an expert in the middle level of the Yuanying Stage would not be easy prey after all.
With the Gold Crow Devil Sweeping Sword in his hand, Bu Tiantong's comprehensive combat ability was perhaps even higher than Han Yuantai's when he did not have the time to take out his magical equipment in the Southland of Sorcerers.
"Shua!"
Gold brilliance burst out of the armor and expanded into a giant gold ball almost five meters in diameter. It was so dazzling that it could almost melt everything like a furnace of molten steel!
The Gold Armor Clan was best at defense in the first place. The powerful mystic rays released by the armor could not only disrupt the enemy's vision and telepathic thoughts but also completely cover the user's movements. It was a piece of top magical equipment that could both attack and defend! Zi!
"Zi, zi, zi, zi!"
The green flames of spiritual energy around Li Yao that looked like will-o '-the-wisps turned from the shape of an eagle into almost ten tentacles that spread out and grabbed the golden ball released by Bu Tiantong's armor like an enormous hand of ghosts!
The two different flames, one green and one gold, collided violently, rubbed against each other, and consumed each other. It was as if two incompatible liquids were reacting with each other. Not only were ear-splitting shrieks echoing, wisps of colorful smoke also surged into the sky!
This was a pure war of attrition. What was competing was the density of both sides' spiritual energy, which was also known as "magical energy"!
At first glance, they seemed to be evenly matched, in a stalemate.
However, from top to bottom, Li Yao's Ghost Claw continued to invade the golden ball with ease.
As he expected, a roar burst out of the golden ball a moment later. The Gold Crow Devil Sweeping Sword more than four meters long broke out of the shell and stabbed at Li Yao's face like a raging golden dragon!
Bu Tiantong could not hold on any longer and changed his move first!
The aura of the sword was not moving in a straight line, nor was it drawing arcs. Instead, it spurted out in the shape of a fan like the brilliance of the sun, completely enshrouding the space within dozens of meters of Li Yao's defense!
Locked onto by the aura of the sword, Li Yao felt that he was in the middle of a desert where the sun was rising. There was nowhere to run!
Without even blinking, Li Yao snapped his fingers and launched the needles that had frightened Han Yuantai in the Southland of Sorcerers again. A cluster of needles sprayed to the setting sun like a hazy drizzle. Ding! Ding!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Ding! Every needle hit exactly one of the auras of the sword. Like balloons that had been punctured, the auras immediately withered and vanished into nothingness, leaving only echoes.
Hundreds of echoes overlapped and formed a weird piece of music!
Half narrowing his eyes, Li Yao enjoyed the music of sabers and swords as if he were drinking wine. His face was flushed, indicating that he was drunk. Shaking his head, he remarked, "What a great sword!
"The sword aura emitted by this sword is ethereal and boundless. It is definitely not something that can be emitted by ordinary iron on the ground. It can only be found in the sea of stars beyond the nine heavens. It is the real 'Star Iron'!"
After Li Yao landed in the Ancient Sages Sector, he discovered something weird.
Stars could be seen at night in the Ancient Sages Sector, too. They were even more splendid than in the outside world and formed quite a few colorful rivers of stars!
It was illogical.
Because the Ancient Sages Sector was located in a dark nebula, the light of other stars should not be able to penetrate through. Even if he could see the stars, there would only be a couple of them at best.
It was not until he pondered for a long time that Li Yao realized that the so-called 'stars' were not the light of the stars in the outside world but the remnants of the primeval war at the periphery of the Ancient Sages Sector!
The remnants were Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that boasted a lot of special characteristics. They also boasted intense radiation that had never diminished after hundreds of thousands of years and were releasing all kinds of waves to the outside world all the time.
The 'stars' that the ancient Cultivators of this Sector saw when they looked at the sky at night were exactly them.
The remnants were not stationary in the universe. Instead, they were moving irregularly under the interference of the many planets and satellites. Occasionally, some of the remnants would collide with each other or be captured by the gravity sphere of the planets and fall to the ground of the Ancient Sages Sector.
The remnants were all super alloys that the Pangu Clan or the Nuwa Clan had refined with their extraordinary techniques. Their refining technology was tens of thousands of years ahead of the era. Naturally, they were the best materials for refining.
Because they were the 'stars' in the knowledge of the ancient Cultivators of this Sector in the first place, they were known as' star iron '.
The high-level Cultivators did not expect that Li Yao could still talk in the middle of the fierce battle. They could not see through him at all. Looking at each other, they were lost for words!
Sha! Sha! Sha!
Sha! Sha! Sha! Li Yao controlled the needle and stabbed at the body of the Gold Crow Devil Sweeping Sword. The needle was faster and faster, but the strength of the stab was weaker and weaker. When the needle hit the body of the sword, it was no longer earsplitting noises but pleasant, soft, and soft, noises that sounded like a drizzle falling on the grass!
"The materials are excellent. Their refining techniques are quite remarkable too!"
Li Yao said in both surprise and delight. "The hardness of the star iron should be much higher than what you can melt and forge. It should have been just a cluster of iron and could never have been forged into a marvelous weapon!
"However, the sword forgers of the Gold Armor Clan came up with a new approach. Instead of burning it with eccentric fire, they tempered it with more than thirty kinds of liquids that could melt metals. After it was softened, they mixed the materials such as the Hundred Withering Vines, the Everlasting Regret Grass, the Devil Slaying Bones, the Blood Rain Stones, and so on, solidifying and changing its features before they were refined!
"With such extraordinary sword forgers who are adept at making breakthroughs, the Gold Armor Clan is confident that they can compete with the Purple Pole Sword Sect!"
All the cultivators were dumbfounded by Li Yao's bluff.
Was it possible that he could tell the process of the magical equipment's forging and even infer how many materials were mixed into it during the forging process just by the sounds of the collisions?
It was too unbelievable!
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Shua! Shua! Everybody looked at Bu Tiantong and the few elders and leaders of the Gold Armor Clan.
All the Elders, Hall Masters, and Sect Leaders of the Golden Armor Sect were dumbfounded. They looked as if they had seen a ghost!
No. Even if 'Mother White Lotus' Wan Mingzhu, the mother of all ghosts, appeared in front of them right now, they would not have been so shocked!
Unless Wan Mingzhu not only showed up in front of them but also performed a striptease, it would have been impossible for them to feel so dizzy!
Bu Tiantong's previously golden face was pale, and the aura of his sword was somewhat disordered!
Li Yao walked casually in the middle of the scorching auras. He sighed and said, "Great sword, great materials, and great approaches! It's a pity that — "
There was genuine regret on his face. "It's a pity that the materials such as the Hundred Withering Vines, the Everlasting Regret Grass, the Devil Slaying Bones, and so on were all ancillary materials added for the convenience of the forging. After the forging was completed, they had to be replaced to improve the purity of the sword!
"You chose to absorb them with the 'Jade Ocean Sand'. Then, you sucked away the Jade Ocean Sand that was attached to the miscellaneous materials!
"It's a very good idea. Every grain of 'Jade Ocean Sand' is full of billions of tiny holes that are invisible to the naked eye. They are the best materials for absorption!
"It's a pity that the temperature of the furnace has to be raised to more than 3,300 degrees at the last moment of refining the 'star iron'. What you don't know is that the 'Jade Ocean Sand' has a certain possibility of being vaporized when the temperature is between 3,380 degrees and 3,392 degrees!"
"Perhaps, only one grain of Jade Ocean Sand would turn into smoke at that time!
"But the smoke that is multiple times thinner than a hair is enough to leave a crack deep inside the sword that normal Cultivators cannot perceive at all!
"Therefore, even if the sword is made of star iron, and you have carved more than five hundred attack rune arrays on the periphery of the sword so that it will become an unparalleled, unstoppable weapon that is capable of destroying everything!"
"But as long as you find the gap that is transformed by the Jade Ocean Sand!"
Li Yao smiled and accelerated to a higher speed. Against the sword aura of the Gold Crow Devil Sweeping Sword, he marched right into Bu Tiantong's chest!
"Ahhh!"
Bu Tiantong was both shocked and infuriated. He roared. Gold brightness beamed out of the Gold Crow Devil Sweeping Sword, and the aura of the sword expanded rapidly. It no longer looked like a sword but a giant pillar!
Li Yao's right hand, on the other hand, sank into the gold pillar against the aura of the sword!
The sharp aura of the sword was about to mince his right arm and his shoulder into pieces when all the aura of the sword vanished into thin air after a clang. The tip of the giant sword flew to the sky and, after a few circles, stabbed into the ground obliquely, still shuddering!
