After the Skyfall

Chapter 909 New Weapons
Looking at the Purple-Gold Nine-Dragon Seal in the sky, the Celestial Craftsman looked slightly anxious. He said, "Because this treasure contains dragon pearls and star cores, it possesses terrifying power. If we don't subdue it soon, the spirit will take the seal and flee far away, which will be troublesome."

“Even the Divine Martial Emperor couldn’t subdue this treasure, so I doubt the two of us can do it either,” Wu Mengzi said helplessly.

She hadn't even reached the Great Perfection realm, and even with the blessing of incense offerings, she was still far inferior to Li Jiye.

"Where is Taiyi? Quickly, invite Taiyi out. Only he can subdue this treasure now," the Heavenly Craftsman said immediately.

In this world of incense offerings, besides Emperor Shenwu Li Jiye, the strongest is Li Yi.

However, Li Yi has been in seclusion for a month and has not shown up yet. It is unknown whether he will appear at this crucial moment. If he arrives a step too late and the treasure is lost, it would be a great pity.

"Master Tiangong, don't be nervous. I already know what happened here. Leave the magic weapon to me. Although my injuries haven't fully healed, taming it shouldn't be difficult."

Suddenly, Li Yi's voice rang out abruptly.

But then he appeared in the sky at some point, and stared intently at the real dragon churning and dancing in the sea of ​​clouds.

With such a priceless treasure appearing and causing such a commotion, it was impossible for Li Yi, who was recuperating at the time, not to have heard it.

As soon as he came out, he saw his father, Li Jiye, being blasted away. If he hadn't been the ruler of a country and had received many blessings, he would have been in real danger.

"Taiyi, you must be very careful, this artifact spirit is no ordinary thing," the Heavenly Craftsman hurriedly said.

"I see it now. I never expected that just adding a small piece of star core could cause such an amazing change in this jade seal." Li Yi couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of creation.

"Perhaps it is also due to the blessing of the incense offerings of this world. I must say, the Taoist priest has refined something extraordinary today."

"Everyone, please wait here for a moment. If anything unusual happens, please take action to protect this area and prevent the mortals near Daoshan from being affected and killed."

"Don't worry, Taiyi. We already activated the great formation to protect the surrounding area," Wumengzi said immediately.

"That's good."

After giving his instructions, Li Yi immediately stepped onto auspicious clouds, soared across the sky, and plunged into the sea of ​​clouds. With his appearance, the entire sea of ​​clouds instantly changed.

Terrifying lightning bolts intertwined, forming an impenetrable net that trapped the spirit dragon.

But the spirit of the artifact did not intend to surrender. Instead, it let out a dragon's roar, opened its mouth, and spat out a purple starlight that instantly tore through the vacuum and blasted open this sea of ​​thunder.

With just one strike, the heavens and earth trembled.

"It has indeed surpassed the combat power of the Demon King and possesses a portion of the power of the Demon God. However, because it is only a weapon spirit, its combat power can never reach the level of the Demon God. But even so, it is already amazing enough. If I had possessed such a weapon some time ago, it wouldn't have been so difficult to deal with the Purple Dragon Demon God."

Li Yi thought to himself, then he gripped a giant axe and instantly manifested a hundred-foot-tall body. Incense energy permeated the air around him, and although his injuries had not yet healed, his combat power was still at a terrifying level.

With divine power and magical energy empowering the crimson gold artifact, a single axe strike unleashed a heaven-splitting light that slashed towards the artifact's spirit.

The spirit of the artifact was greatly threatened, and it instantly summoned the Purple Gold Nine Dragon Seal, which then transformed into a huge mountain in front of it, blocking the terrible attack.

A single axe blow, powerful enough to destroy the heavens and the earth, struck the Purple Gold Nine Dragon Seal without causing the slightest damage. The terrifying power surged, threatening to shatter the entire sky.

"Good heavens, is this really a spirit of an artifact? Anyone who didn't know better would think it was a demon god incarnate." Li Yi's expression changed slightly upon seeing this scene, sensing that things were getting tricky.

"Taiyi, you can use the power of your primordial spirit to subdue the artifact spirit." At this moment, the Heavenly Craftsman Daoist transmitted his voice, giving a reminder.

A treasure is just a treasure, not a real enemy. It doesn't necessarily require a real battle to subdue it. Once you control the spirit of the artifact, the magic weapon becomes useless.

Upon hearing this, Li Yi immediately understood. He took a step, and his hundred-foot-tall body swayed as he passed over the mountain-like jade seal, heading straight for the spirit dragon.

The spirit did not flee, but instead roared and charged toward Li Yi.

At this moment, Li Yi's entire body radiated the light of his primordial spirit, and a huge primordial spirit dharma image manifested from heaven and earth. This primordial spirit was dressed in a five-colored robe, surrounded by the sun and moon, and radiated divine light. A red lotus bloomed at his feet, majestic and sacred.

next moment.

The primordial spirit manifested with the precious Crimson Lotus, and with a single strike, it severely injured the artifact spirit.

The true dragon instantly shattered into a sky full of golden light, but it quickly reformed.

However, Li Yi did not give it a chance. The Crimson Lotus, a treasure, flew out, and countless rays of light fell down, transforming into countless ropes that directly bound the spirit of the artifact.

The true dragon struggled and roared, even summoning back the Purple Gold Nine Dragon Seal, trying to use its power to break free of its restraints, but to no avail.

Li Yi's primordial spirit power suppressed the artifact spirit. Although the Purple Gold Nine Dragon Seal was extremely powerful, it could not exert any power at the moment and just floated quietly in the air, motionless.

Just as the Taoist Master Tiangong said, a treasure is still just a treasure, not a real enemy, and there is no need to go through a fierce battle to determine the winner.

Now that the spirit of the artifact has been subdued, the Purple Gold Nine Dragon Seal can only fall into Li Yi's hands.

soon.

The spirit of the artifact probably felt that it was no match for Li Yi, so it chose to submit and then stopped struggling.

The strange phenomena between heaven and earth began to subside, and countless precious lights and spiritual energy began to dissipate.

The mountain-sized Purple Gold Nine-Dragon Seal shrank continuously until it reached its normal size. The spirit dragon stopped flying around and instead burrowed into the seal. As the divine light subsided, all the commotion subsided.

Li Yi held the jade seal in his hand, his primordial spirit returned to its place, and at the same time, he retracted his hundred-zhang-tall body and returned to the top of Dao Mountain once again.

"Fortunately, it was a close call. We subdued this treasure and prevented it from escaping. Master Tiangong, next time you need to make some preparations in advance when crafting a treasure of this level," he said with a smile.

The Celestial Craftsman nodded repeatedly, then added, "However, this item has not reached its true limit. This time, I only tried using the rare material of star cores, and I did not expect it to have such an effect. If a weapon were to be made from a whole star core, I wonder how terrifying it would be."

He then stared at the gleaming star core, a hint of fanaticism in his expression.

But the Celestial Craftsman quickly calmed down: "It's just that my strength is still somewhat insufficient. I can only take a small piece of star core to refine the treasure. Such a large piece contains terrifying energy that I cannot control."

"However, there are also a lot of divine materials this time. Taiyi, what treasures do you need? This old Taoist has also refined them all this time. Moreover, each one is no less than this Purple Gold Nine Dragon Seal. I believe it will definitely help you take your strength to the next level."

Li Yi was quite tempted by what the Taoist Master Tiangong said.

His strength is currently damaged and will be difficult to recover in a short time. If he can increase his strength through a treasure of this level, it would not be a bad thing.

"I need a suit of armor and a weapon," Li Yi said directly.

The Celestial Craftsman nodded and said, "I already have a plan in mind. How about we forge a Black Gold Star Armor and a Demon God Sword? The former will be forged from Black Gold Divine Iron and Star Core to create an indestructible battle armor. The latter will be made by taking the power of the Purple Dragon Demon God, fusing it with Star Core, Black Gold Divine Iron, and Divine Wood, and then engraving countless killing arrays. I believe that sword can annihilate the Demon God."

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Daoist Master. By the way, could you also reforge the Crimson Gold Five Elements Bracelet I have? It would be best to use star cores as the material, so that it can provide me with endless cosmic energy at any time." Li Yi then took off the Crimson Gold Five Elements Bracelet and handed it to the Celestial Craftsman Daoist.

Although it was just a storage artifact, he found it easy to use and wanted to upgrade it.

"This is a minor matter, but this refining process will take several months," said the Celestial Craftsman.

“It’s only a few months, I can wait,” Li Yi said.

At this moment, Emperor Shenwu Li Jiye, looking disheveled and covered in blood, flew over hastily from a distance. He was badly injured.

However, after Li Jiye returned to the Daoist temple and saw that things had calmed down, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Yi, what a disgrace! I, the mighty Divine Martial Emperor, was actually blasted away by the spirit of the artifact. Luckily, no one saw it, otherwise it might have shaken the foundation of the country."

Li Jiye gave an awkward smile.

Li Yi said, "Because I only thought about asking Master Tiangong to forge a jade seal that could be passed down through generations, its power was a bit too great. I didn't consider whether you, Dad, could handle it. But it doesn't matter now. I have tamed it, and you can use it now, Dad."

He tossed the imperial seal over.

This thing is not suitable for me, because this jade seal carries the incense offerings of an entire nation, and can only unleash its full power in the hands of Emperor Shenwu Li Jiye.

If Li Jiye's cultivation improves further, he can unleash the full power of this jade seal, and it might even be able to suppress the demon god.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Li Jiye looked at the new Imperial Seal of the State and immediately became enamored with it.

This doesn't just represent power; it represents supreme authority.

"By the way, Dad, what's Mom's decision regarding the Fire Phoenix Eggs?" Li Yi suddenly asked.

Li Jiye smiled broadly, then took out the vibrant fire phoenix egg from his storage magic treasure: "Your mother refused. She doesn't want to become a fire phoenix. Moreover, your mother believes that with her own cultivation, she will eventually become a top expert. So take this egg back. Either let someone else inherit it, or eat it yourself to replenish your strength."

"As expected." Upon hearing this, Li Yi did not insist and immediately put the fire phoenix egg back.

At this moment, Wumengzi walked over and said, "Taiyi, I have a suggestion."

"Please speak, Fairy Maiden," Li Yi gestured.

Wu Mengzi said, "Does Taiyi still remember that Master Yulian? She is incredibly powerful and has boundless magical abilities, but her physical body has not yet recovered. If she were to obtain the body of the Fire Phoenix, she would surely become a great help to Taiyi."

Master Yulian?

Li Yi thought of this person. He had returned the favor by bringing Master Yulian to the world of incense offerings in order to save her. However, this Master Yulian was a Buddhist practitioner, and quite wicked, who was single-mindedly trying to convert him.

Where is Master Yulian now?

Li Jiye said, "The Embroidered Uniform Guard has been keeping an eye on this person. Master Yulian is healing the sick and saving lives and spreading Buddhism in various places. Considering her special circumstances, I have not taken any action against her."

As the emperor of a country, he would naturally pay close attention to such a person.

Li Yi shook his head and said, "Since she wants to spread the Tao in this world, let her go. She is different from ordinary people. She thinks about attaining enlightenment every day. If her strength recovers, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

Although Master Yulian saved his life, it was under special circumstances at the time. The Phoenix Egg was a very precious treasure, and he was unwilling to use it on someone he didn't quite trust.

"Then we'll have to find a new candidate," Li Jiye said. "Xiao Yi, what do you think of Uncle Biao's niece, Lin Yue? Aren't you on good terms with her? Why don't you give her a try?"

"Sister Lin?"

Li Yi paused for a moment, then said, "Sister Lin's cultivation level is too low. I'm afraid she won't be able to control the power of the demon god. But I'll go and find some people to consult with later to see if it works."
