Murong Xi, Sun Biyue, Elder He Hu and the others looked at the flattened valley. They didn't need to look to know that the artifact forging this time had failed.
Four stars of tribulation lightning was about to successfully condense. When that happened, it would probably be enough to shock everyone. However, at the final moment, all of their efforts had gone to waste.
Tribulation lightning was an existence that was enough to make alchemy and talisman masters shudder in fear. When an extremely powerful item that shouldn't exist in this world appeared, it would cause an excessively strong fluctuation in the energy of the world. It would be punished by the world, triggering tribulation lightning.
If it couldn't withstand the tribulation lightning, the item would be destroyed and the refiner would be heavily injured. In the worst case, the artifact would be destroyed and the refiner would be killed, destroyed within the world.
However, the appearance of tribulation lightning wasn't completely without benefits. If it could withstand the tribulation lightning, the item refined would definitely become even more powerful and powerful after being baptized by lightning.
For a talisman master, tribulation lightning could only be triggered if they could refine at least a dao artifact level item.
A dao artifact in itself already had the power to move mountains and overturn seas. If it was refined by an expert for their own use, it would be enough to shake mountains and rivers, capable of collapsing mountains and splitting the earth. It could destroy everything with a raise of the hand.
This kind of power was too strong and restricted by the Lock of Heaven and Earth. As a result, the birth of a dao artifact was bound to be obstructed.
Tribulation lightning was counted by stars. The balls of dark lightning were like falling stars. The more dark lightning balls there were, the stronger the tribulation lightning would be, proving that the refiner's item would be even more powerful.
For a talisman master, the appearance of a one star tribulation lightning was most likely an initial rank dao artifact.
For a two star tribulation lightning, it was a mid rank dao artifact, and so on and so forth.
All of the elders looked at the destroyed valley, at the ground covered in dust. Their gazes were filled with regret and heartache.
The three dark lightning balls and the fourth dark cloud in the air had all disappeared. There was no need to ask vice principal Zhuge Qiangbang. Everyone knew in their hearts that the artifact forging had failed.
"It failed. It's all my fault. It's impossible for two people to succeed at this level of difficulty …"
Vice principal Zhuge Qiangbang murmured softly. His gaze was lifeless, his face pale, and blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
"Where's Du Shaofu?"
Elder Murong Xi asked softly. There were no traces of Du Shaofu in the surroundings. Du Shaofu was clearly with Vice Principal Zhuge Qiangbang.
"Could it be that something unexpected happened?"
Elder Liao's complexion also turned solemn as he looked around. But, he couldn't find Du Shaofu's figure in the midst of a cloud of dust.
Many Elders immediately looked around to search for Du Shaofu. On the messy ground, there were piles of rubble, and the surrounding mountain walls were filled with cracks. There were no traces of Du Shaofu at all.
Boom!
While everyone's gazes were searching, a low and deep trembling sound suddenly spread. Before the many Elders had the time to shift their gazes away, they sensed waves after waves of majestic energy ripples spreading over from high up in the sky.
The cloud of dust gradually dispersed, and in the sky, multicolored runes started to flicker.
Immediately, in front of everyone's attentive gazes, a Spiritual Stove and Symbol Cauldron appeared in the air. Above the Spiritual Stove and Symbol Cauldron, white, green, black, red and yellow talismans were enshrouded in an inexhaustible radiance.
Boom!
Accompanied by a blazing aura, a terrifying aura engulfed the surroundings like a storm. Inside the Spiritual Stove Rune Cauldron, the image of a long sword gradually appeared.
The mysterious runes on the sword flickered just like flames jumping about. The mysterious runes were boundless, and indescribably mysterious.
Hualala.
An immense pressure descended, causing the blood in the Elders' bodies to freeze, and their whole bodies shivered.
Behind the Spiritual Stove Rune Cauldron, Du Shaofu's figure stood in the air. His whole body was covered in dazzling white radiance, and his aura was ancient. It was as if a white divine radiance was enveloping him. In front of him, the Spiritual Stove Rune Cauldron was floating, and its aura was surging.
"It's Du Shaofu."
Some of the elders immediately saw Du Shaofu. At that moment, his extraordinary and arrogant purple robes made him seem like a descending son of god. This caused the hearts of many of the elders to tremble. They were also puzzled in their hearts. It was clearly vice-headmaster Zhuge who was refining the weapon. Why was it Du Shaofu now?
"Yi …"
On the pale face of Vice-Principal Zhuge Qiangbang, his lifeless eyes looked towards the sky, and his expression immediately trembled with astonishment.
At this moment, Du Shaofu stood in the sky above the Artifact Institute. With the Spiritual Stove Rune Cauldron in the sky, a boundless aura gradually started to fluctuate, allowing the majority of Tianwu Academy to see him clearly.
"That seems to be …?"
"Du Shaofu, that's Du Shaofu. What is he doing?"
"Could it be that everything that happened just now was caused by him?"
"…"
The Academy Elders raised their heads in shock. Some people recognized that the person in the sky was Du Shaofu from afar, and their eyes trembled with shock.
High in the sky, Du Shaofu's expression was grave. His hands formed seals, and the longsword in the Spiritual Stove Rune Cauldron in front of him released an enormous energy that caused people's hearts to tremble.
As this enormous energy spread down, four black clouds that covered the sky instantly condensed behind Du Shaofu's back.
At this moment, the world became dark once again, and three of the black clouds instantly transformed into three balls of black lightning. Once again, the three balls of lightning were linked together, and countless silver snakes of lightning flickered.
The fourth black cloud condensed into a ball of lightning, but it was extremely slow, as if it had the will but lacked the strength to do so.
Just now, in the refining room, in the instant vice-principal Du Shaofu's Spiritual Stove Rune Cauldron exploded, the mental energy of the vice-principal and Zhuge Qiangbang seemed to have fused together. Therefore, at the last moment, not wanting to fail, Du Shaofu forcibly condensed his Spiritual Stove Rune Cauldron, using his own to cover the longsword.
Although the fourth black cloud condensed slowly, it was clearly even more ferocious than the previous three balls of lightning.
"He didn't fail, he didn't fail. That little guy is still refining!"
Vice-Principal Zhuge Qiangbang was shocked, and his eyes were filled with indescribable joy. But at the same time, he was extremely nervous. Looking at the sky, he clenched his fists tightly.
All the elders in the surroundings were currently staring at the sky, their fists tightly clenched, their eyes trembling with graveness.
This part of the world was completely dark. Above Du Shaofu's head, three balls of black lightning flickered with silver snakes. Inside the Spiritual Stove Rune Cauldron, an aura surged, and runes burst out. The mysterious runes of the Golden-Winged Roc and the sword were still resisting each other, unable to fuse.
"Puchi!"
As the energy of the surrounding world poured in, the Spiritual Stove Rune Cauldron swayed, on the verge of cracking once again, causing Du Shaofu to spurt out a mouthful of blood.
Even vice-principal Zhuge was unable to suppress it, so how could Du Shaofu be able to suppress it with his cultivation and strength?
"Kid, you have to resist it!"
Vice-Principal Zhuge Qiangbang's dispirited body shivered. Looking at the sky, he had an expectant look, but he clearly understood that even he was unable to do anything, so how could Du Shaofu accomplish it, unless a miracle happened?
The Spiritual Stove Rune Cauldron swayed, and the sky darkened. Du Shaofu's mouth was dripping with blood.
Suddenly, Du Shaofu raised his eyebrows. Clenching his teeth slightly, his hand seals changed once again. Suddenly, a large amount of light golden blood spurted out from his mouth, directly into the Spiritual Stove Rune Cauldron.
The light golden blood seemed to have intelligence. A large amount of it instantly covered the longsword, and seemed to be directly swallowed by the longsword.
The light golden blood fused with the sword, immediately connecting with the mysterious golden runes and the sword, just like a lubricant between gears and chains. In a split second, the mysterious runes of the Golden-Winged Roc and the runes of the longsword completely fused together. Auspicious multicolored light rose, and dazzling runes were released.
"Crackle …"
Following this instant, the surrounding space shook violently, and the fourth black cloud that covered the sky rapidly fluctuated. In the end, with a lightning-like speed, it directly condensed into a hemispherical ball of lightning. It wasn't as solid as the previous three balls of black light, but it gradually formed a ball of lightning.
"Its power is still intensifying!"
Looking at the fourth rather illusory ball of lightning, all the elders' eyes were boiling with shock. Quite a few elders' faces even became flushed. They didn't expect its power to continue intensifying.
"It's still intensifying. That brat's blood should be extraordinary. After fusing with the beast energy, it even strengthened the weapon's body!"
Vice Principal Zhuge's eyes were filled with shock. With his extraordinary eyesight, he could sense that all of this was related to the large amount of blood that Du Shaofu had just spat out. That blood was definitely not ordinary.
At this moment, three hemispherical balls of black light appeared above Du Shaofu's head. They were like four pearls, flickering with silver snakes as their might spread out. How astonishing was that?!
At the same time, everyone in Tianwu Academy felt uneasy. The three hemispherical balls of black light behind Du Shaofu's back had silver snakes slithering about. An abnormally terrifying might of lightning suddenly surged out, spreading across the horizon.
"Not good, the lightning tribulation has begun. Can that brat withstand it?!"
"Although this doesn't seem to be a four star lightning tribulation, it's at least three and a half stars. Not to mention a five star talisman master, even a six star talisman master wouldn't be able to withstand it."
"…"
Many gazes were trembling as the surrounding air trembled violently. Dark clouds churned around the edges of the balls of black light, and silver snakes of lightning fluctuated like four pearls. The first ball of black light trembled with a loud bang. Accompanied by a streak of lightning, it pierced through space as though it was a divine radiance that could pierce through the boundless blue dome of heaven. In the end, it crashed into Du Shaofu's spiritual cauldron.
