Douluo: I have too many clones

Chapter 719: Divine Artifact and Divine Craftsman

Tiandou City, the headquarters of the Blacksmiths Association.

From the top of the tower that reaches high into the clouds, a bright beam of light shoots up into the sky, as if it is about to tear the clouds apart.

In the top-level forging ground exclusively for the master craftsman, the space was distorted and the spiritual energy was boiling.

This is a forbidden area that only forging masters who have reached the level of master craftsmen are qualified to enter. Every inch of land is engraved with ancient forging runes, and the rare minerals inlaid on the walls emit a soft light, making the entire venue look like a dream.

Suddenly, a deafening roar broke through the sky.

"Boom--" Thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, just like the gods beating drums.

The originally calm sky was instantly covered by dark clouds. The rich elemental calamity spread like a substance. The elemental particles in the air were wildly agitated, as if they were afraid of the terrifying power that was about to come.

What was even more frightening was that in the air, a group of nine-colored light balls began to condense rapidly, spherical lightning moved wildly in it, and crackling sounds were endless, as if brewing a force that was enough to destroy everything.

Lufa looked at the thunder in the sky, slowly raised his right hand and stretched it towards the terrifying thunder.

In an instant, his palm seemed to turn into a black hole that swallowed up everything, and the powerful suction force spread outward at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Several elemental disasters that instantly fell from the sky collapsed like fragile glass in the face of the terrifying suction force. The dazzling nine-color light streaked across the sky like a meteor, and was eventually swallowed by Lufa and disappeared without a trace.

The power of Behemoth devours everything.

However, the elemental catastrophe will not stop easily.

"boom--"

More violent thunders exploded in the sky, like an enraged beast, violent thunder poured down from the sky, as if to submerge the entire world. The dazzling lightning and the deafening roar made the entire Tiandou City tremble.

Facing this terrifying thunderbolt, Lufa's body was only stiff for a moment. He activated the innate secret method of the Body Sect and combined it with the power of his own Behemoth bloodline.

A layer of light golden light appeared around him, and the light flowed like a substance, absorbing the falling lightning one by one. Soon, the violent lightning was swallowed by the Behemoth bloodline and transformed into a tonic that nourished his blood and qi, making his body stronger.

As the lightning was constantly being devoured, the soul power in Lufa's body suddenly boiled over, and a scorching breath emanated from his body. He felt as if his entire body was immersed in a scorching airflow.

Under the impact of this force, his soul power began to gradually rise. Finally, with a "boom", a powerful aura burst out from his body. Level 95, Super Douluo!
Since absorbing the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd as his soul, Lu Fa's cultivation has skyrocketed. The power from the beast's soul is even stronger than he imagined.

Even though Lu Fa spent most of his time forging, the elemental lightning tribulation generated when forging the Heavenly Forged Metal was a source of energy. He forged day and night, and with the baptism of thunder power, his soul power naturally began to rise.

However, Lufa did not swallow all the thunder tribulation, but only intercepted part of it. After all, he was not the protagonist this time.

His eyes were cast towards a little metal figure in the venue. It was the work he had forged this time, and at this moment it was being struck by the surging nine-colored thunder, splitting it into a pool of liquid.

But the next moment, an amazing scene happened. The pool of liquid condensed into a metal figure again, continuing to endure the baptism of thunder, as if it had an unyielding will.

“Let me handle the rest myself!” After the little metal man re-condensed into shape, a platinum-colored light burst out from his body. At first glance, it was exactly the same aura as Lufa’s.

Then, the little metal man flew into the sky and plunged into the calamity cloud.

Lufa did not stop him. Since the other party said so, let him see what level of metal forged this time can reach.

"Boom boom boom!" In the calamity cloud, endless thunder power began to roll, as if forming a huge vortex that was about to draw everything in.

But the metal man did not yield, and his unyielding will burst out with the flavor of fighting against heaven and earth. Being in the calamity cloud, the sudden burst of his will made the calamity cloud dim. That breath seemed to come from the ancient god of war, full of fearlessness and domineering.

"Behemoth Sky-Splitting Claw!"

What was shocking was that this little metal man actually used Lufa's ability. Its sharp claws chopped down fiercely, instantly splitting the robbery cloud in the sky into two, and infusing it with extremely strong nine-colored light.

The metal man who absorbed the surging thunder tribulation, the nine-colored light on his body has become extremely strong, and then the nine-colored light began to dissipate, and the platinum light emerged, "Innate Domain: Devouring the Heavens and Eating the Earth!"

Lufa lowered his eyes, "Interesting, self-created soul skills, bloodline power, it can actually use all of these."

Suddenly, the sky darkened and the earth seemed to be upside down. A terrifying atmosphere spread in the air, making it hard to breathe.

The calamity clouds in the sky suddenly felt like they were falling apart. Everything suddenly turned into darkness in an instant, and everything seemed to be annihilated in an instant.

A strong force of annihilation spread out in all directions. Lu Fa, who was closest to it, was hit first and was swallowed up by the force of annihilation in an instant.

"Very strong. Even a Titled Douluo wearing a three-character battle armor would suffer irreparable damage if enveloped by this annihilation light."

Lufa did not use his soul power to resist, but directly used his body to resist the light of annihilation, feeling the meaning of annihilation in it, and made an evaluation. His body kept trembling in the light of annihilation, and his skin was burned red, but his eyes became more and more determined.

Although this light of annihilation is very strong, Lufa has not been struck by elemental thunder in vain over the past few years.

After being baptized by numerous elemental thunder tribulations, his greatest gain in the past few years was not the improvement of his soul power, but the fact that his innate secret method had finally been perfected.

The innate secret technique of the Body Sect is said to have almost no bottlenecks after it is fully developed before reaching the Ultimate Douluo level.

And once one is able to cultivate to the pinnacle: Golden Body Arhat, then he will surely become a quasi-god.

However, due to the special relationship of the Behemoth bloodline, Lufa's innate secret method has long been different from that of the Body Sect. But this did not hinder his clear understanding of his own situation.

The darkness lasted for more than ten seconds before gradually dissipating. At the same time, all the seven-colored thunderbolts in the sky also disappeared.

And in the place where the light came on again, the little metal man was floating quietly, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura, as if it contained endless mysteries.

"It finally worked."

Lufa looked at the little metal man with burning eyes.

Initially, it was just an ordinary metal catalyzed by the fifth soul skill "Machine Reincarnation". After being parasitized by the Time Worm, it gained intelligence and completed its transformation in the cruel devouring of the nine kinds of activated metals. Finally, it was forged by his hands and emerged as a butterfly under the tempering of the nine-color thunder tribulation.

The little metal man suddenly made a clear buzzing sound and turned into a stream of light and pounced towards Lufa.

Lufa instinctively raised his right arm, and before he made any movement, the ball of liquid metal had already landed precisely on the joint of his right arm armor. In an instant, a miraculous change occurred. The armor parts of Lufa's right arm slowly emerged, without any rejection or resistance, just like a long-lost relative reuniting, and instantly merged with the pool of liquid.

An unprecedented feeling spread from his right arm throughout his body, as if a warm and powerful electric current was running through his meridians. The right forearm that was familiar to him seemed to have become a completely new existence at this moment, creating a wonderful resonance with the rest of his body.

This feeling has gone beyond the simple improvement of strength, but is a complete transformation from the inside out, from ordinary to holy.

Lufa closed his eyes, carefully feeling the changes in his body, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

As a top blacksmith, he had forged countless heavenly metals, but this time, he could clearly sense that the special metal in front of him was completely different from any other metal he had forged before.

Normally, even if the Skyforged Metal is forged successfully, it will still require a ninth-level craftsman to expend a great deal of energy to engrave special amplification runes on it in order to achieve the maximum amplification effect.

However, the special heavenly forged metal in Lufa's hand broke all the conventions. It exuded a natural aura, as if it was born with powerful power and did not need any additional amplification runes.

This feeling is like the gap between mortals and gods. The previous Tianforged Metal was just the best of ordinary irons, but this one has undergone a fundamental transformation and reached the realm of God.

"Artifact!"

This thought suddenly exploded in Lufa's mind like a bolt of lightning.

An inexplicable feeling emerged, and he finally understood that perhaps until this moment, he was truly worthy of the title of "master craftsman", a master craftsman who could forge divine weapons.

What is a magic weapon?

Weapons that possess the power of gods can be called artifacts. And there are only two ways to create artifacts over the past thousands of years.

One is the weapons passed down from ancient times by true gods. These artifacts carry the power and will of the gods, and each one contains earth-shaking power.

The other is a new method that was born after the appearance of battle armor.

If a quasi-god-level weapon spirit master comprehends the divine realm at the last moment of his life and concentrates all his cultivation on his martial spirit, he can artificially create a divine weapon.

However, this method is extremely demanding. Not only does it require the weapon spirit master to reach the quasi-god level of cultivation, but it also requires the spirit master to reach the level of a god in terms of artistic conception, such as a sword god, a gun god, etc.

Every weapon spirit master who reaches this level is a genius picked from thousands, and those who can successfully transform their martial spirit into a magic weapon are even fewer.

Just like Yun Ming, he himself reached the realm of Gun God, and at the critical moment of life and death in the Shrek explosion, he sublimated to the utmost and transformed his martial soul into a divine weapon - the Sky-lifting Divine Spear.

The title of "divine craftsman" has a long history. As early as 20,000 years ago, there were people who called themselves divine craftsmen and claimed that only those who made divine tools out of ordinary iron could truly deserve this title.

But in that backward era, the so-called divine craftsmen could only forge some weapons that were effective against Soul Saints, which was a world of difference compared to today's divine weapons.

With the continuous progress of the times, especially the emergence of battle armor, the meaning of the word "divine craftsman" has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

Up to now, in the field of forging, the most powerful craftsman can only use six kinds of metals for melt-forging, and then let them undergo the baptism of six-color thunder tribulation. This is already a peak that is difficult for future generations to surpass.

But now, Lufa has made history, the fusion and forging of nine kinds of metals, and the forging of nine-colored thunder tribulations, which has made him far surpass his ancestors.

Although the Time Worm made great contributions in this forging process, Lufa has absolute confidence in his own strength.

He silently calculated in his mind that if he was given another chance, even without relying on the Worm of Time, he would have a 20% chance of achieving the smelting of nine kinds of metals.

This is already an incredibly high probability. You know, even the master craftsman Zhenhua would not dare to try this challenge easily. The terrifying nine-color thunder tribulation alone is an insurmountable chasm.

"A divine weapon-level four-character battle armor..." Lufa muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with excitement, "If I equip all of them, even if my current soul power is only level 95, I'm afraid it will be able to increase my soul power to the quasi-god level."

This was not because Lufa was arrogant and underestimated the power of the quasi-god. On the contrary, it was because he knew the power of the quasi-god that he made such a guess.

Imagine that a battle armor has at least eleven basic parts. If all of them are replaced with artifacts, the increased value brought by the equipment will be terrifying.

Each component contains the power of the gods, and when they work together, the effect produced will definitely be beyond his imagination.

"It will probably take a long time to successfully build a divine weapon-level four-character battle armor. Let's not rush to build it now. Let's get other things done first."

Lufa's eyes gradually became sharper as he scanned the various metal materials and design drawings on the table. "For example, the cooperation between the Blacksmith Association and the Federation."

This idea had been brewing in his mind for a long time, and now with the successful forging of the artifact, it was finally time to put it into practice.

He picked up the soul guide communication, his slender fingers paused on the screen for a moment, and finally dialed a number that he had never saved. The communicator was quickly connected, and a cold female voice came: "What's the matter?"

"I'm here to give you results."

"Performance?" The other party was obviously a little surprised, with doubt in his tone.

"Yes, if I remember correctly, you should have just joined the Federation Command not long ago."

"Ah."

"Have you joined the Temple of War?"

"No. I joined the Central Corps' military command as a staff officer. Although I have the power to command the Temple of War, I did not join as the God of War." The female voice was still calm, and every word was clear as if it had been precisely calculated.

Lufa nodded in understanding: "I see. Next, I plan to promote in-depth cooperation between the Blacksmith Association and the Federation. In this way, I will also have a formal reason to take the lead in helping the people in the Temple of War to forge four-character battle armor.

If you can't decide on this matter, you can ask Yu Guanzhi to take charge and take some credit for it."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a brief question: "Time, place."

"Within two days. As for the location, I will leave for Mingdu soon, so let's set it at the Central Army Corps. Remember to publicize this matter."

"Got it." As soon as the voice fell, the call was hung up neatly.

Lufa put down the soul guide communication, looked at the darkening sky outside the window, and his eyes were shining with a determined light.
