Douluo Dragon King: Doumu's Blessing, I Am the Star Lord

Four-colored light emanated from the distant sky, and the primordial energy of heaven and earth formed a funnel under Zhenhua's manipulation. Something seemed to be gestating within the metal, and soon the metal transformed into a miniature version of Zhenhua to receive the gifts of the four elements.

The gift is contingent upon passing the test.

Suddenly, thunder roared from the ground, and four-colored tribulation lightning emerged from the funnel formed by the primordial energy of heaven and earth, its target clearly aimed at the metal that was just beginning to develop intelligence.

Milky white soul power was injected into it, and the metal was guided to Zhenhua's palm. Facing the tribulation lightning, it seemed to have a passionate determination to live and die with the other side.

Each time the roar subsided, Zhenhua trembled all over, lightning snakes coursing through his robust body. Zhenhua felt good about himself, trying to make this lesson from the master craftsman perfect.

With one arm pointing to the sky, he guided the fourth bolt of lightning to descend.

Although Qian Gu Xing Ci was new to Heavenly Forging, he clearly understood Zhen Hua's physical condition and knew he was still lacking in skill.

With a flick of his right hand, he brought the Ascending Platform into his grasp. The bell trembled slightly, and the Four Symbols Pagoda and the Thunderous Hell Vine rushed out to enjoy the four-colored tribulation lightning.

"Time rewind."

After speaking softly, Zhenhua's complexion regained some color, and the thunder returned to its state before it struck.

Time flowed back to normal, and unlike before, several purple-gold vines appeared above Zhenhua's head as he eagerly awaited the serving of dishes.

The original miniature version of Zhenhua's metal half-face rapidly transformed, and in the blink of an eye, his features exuded the aura of a legendary star.

The tribulation lightning did not change despite the intervention of the Ancient Stars. Whether it was due to the fact that the Child of Nature had given him special treatment is unknown. Such a trivial question is not worth exploring.

The difficulty of Heavenly Forging lies in the blacksmith's understanding of the laws of heaven and earth and the protection of the metal through the test. The Thunderous Yama Vine represents the intervention of the Ancient Star Decree, thus imprinting his mark on the metal.

The metal only takes on the appearance of a god or demon when forged by master and apprentice together.

Zhenhua reacted quickly and completed the shaping. The moment the Heavenly Forging took shape was the only opportunity to endow the divine metal with power. The shaping was determined based on the characteristics of the metal's future user.

In the rush, Zhenhua could only determine the type of amplification power based on the characteristics of his creator.

Placing the piece of Heavenly Forged Metal on the platform, Zhenhua said in a deep voice, "Heavenly Forged Metal places the greatest emphasis on that final tribulation. Successfully transcending the tribulation is like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, changing everything from then on. Failing to transcend the tribulation means that everything is over."

"With your unique soul and powerful spiritual strength, I believe that Four Elements Heavenly Forging is definitely not your limit."

Zhenhua constantly raised his opinion of this disciple in his mind.

"Having witnessed the Heaven Forging process firsthand, did you gain anything? Would you like to try it yourself?"

Qian Gu Xing Ci walked to the front of the stage, looked at the countless audience members in the night sky, and took out a piece of silver crystal.

Star Vein Crystal is an extremely precious metal. Among metals of the same grade, there is a well-known one called Ice Extreme Divine Crystal.

The finest star vein crystals can also develop spirituality, meaning they are metals that are rare in the secular world and are naturally at the level of spiritual forging.

The origin of battle armor and mecha is generally believed to be the humanoid soul guide device of Mingde Hall. The Ice Extreme War God Armor created by Lingbing Douluo carried forward this concept. The inspiration for the blacksmith's spirit forging was also derived from observing the difference between Ice Extreme Divine Crystal and the metals they used.

Metals contain chaotic veins similar to those found in crystal sheets. The forging process requires untangling these veins, and the final quality is reflected in the state of these veins.

Astrological Soul Masters forge Star Vein Crystals... a perfect match for their expertise!

Chapter 243 Heavenly Forging, Rose Hotel...the residence next door, Cloud and Rain Wushan

Above the Heavenly Terrace, the sound of divine drums could be heard, like thunder piercing the ears. The sound waves shifted from ethereal to real, and their source was none other than the chest of the ancient star.

The star vein crystal trembled and rose to a height level with the ancient star verses, then abandoned its metallic form and melted into a pool of liquid.

Forging and shaping using high temperatures is not the preferred method. If the metal grade is high enough and the blacksmith is capable, soul power can be used to replace this process.

The stars cast their gaze upon it, and its various colors of light were absorbed into the metal.

Star Pulse Crystal was born in a place where stars shine brightly, but it was only by chance that it was blessed. Now it was being noticed. Qian Gu Xing Ci was surprised to see a lingering tension in a pool of liquid.

A giant nebula tiger, head held high and wings outstretched, was condensed into a forging hammer and fell into the hands of Qian Gu Xing Ci. The tiger's head at the end of the hammer handle was lifelike.

With keen insight, Xingmaijing went to the forging platform, and Qiangu Xingci, seeing this, picked up his hammer and began forging.

Metal itself possesses a spirit, and the initial step requires attempting soul forging. However, no matter how skilled Qian Gu Xing Ci was, he could not surpass Zhen Hua, and it took a long time.

The witness, Qian Guxingci, was busy with other matters, but the sound of forging sounded like celestial music to Zhenhua's ears, and the ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Soul forging complete!

Zhenhua's vision was incredibly broad; the person before him had undoubtedly entered the state of perfect harmony with nature that he had longed for but could not attain. Spiritual power at the Spirit Realm level flowed effortlessly during forging, but such a genius had never before become a blacksmith.

"But why is this different from what I've seen?" Ripples spread across Zhenhua's heart. Limit Douluo would do anything for a four-word battle armor. He had seen most Limit Douluo use the Unity of Heaven and Man technique.

The imperial will of the ancient star dictates everything here, and the primordial energy of heaven and earth is at his fingertips.

Battles between Limit Douluo often involve the power of laws, and with this foundation of strength, he will not be a headless fly when facing the laws of heaven and earth required for Heaven Forging.

Seven colors of light swirl and converge at a single point, illuminating the transparent dome and creating a breathtaking scene of seven colors coexisting.

Heavenly Forging, also known as Elemental Heavenly Forging, involves a minimum of four elements and a maximum of seven elements. For every additional element the blacksmith summons, the metal must undergo a tribulation.

Seven-Element Heavenly Forging was a rare feat in Zhenhua's master craftsmanship, and now, with his declining health, it was impossible for him to achieve it again. For many, even a single attempt at it could take a lifetime. Zhenhua silently cursed the unfairness of fate.

Earth, water, fire, wind, light, darkness, and space—these are the seven elements. When their energy converges to its extreme, tribulation lightning descends.

Hearing the lunch bell's call, the Thunderous Hell Vine appeared, baring its fangs and claws, its magnificent vines enveloping the funnel vortex.

"Tengteng, let me test the strength first."

The ancient star departed from the vine and seized the thunder. The effect of thunder tempering the body has always been good. I wonder how powerful the thunder of the Heavenly Forging is, and whether it can be useful to him.

The vines gradually left a passage, allowing Qian Gu Xing Ci to taste the trial pack.

Despite the presence of the Thunderous Hell Vine, Zhenhua did not see any lightning strike for a long time. Instead, faint lightning snakes appeared on Qian Gu Xing Ci and Xing Mai Jing.

After seven consecutive booming sounds, the Star Pulse Crystal took on the appearance of an ancient star poem, surrounded by seven-colored light, telling a story of unfulfilled sorrow.

This piece of metal was slightly inferior. Upon reflection, Zhenhua couldn't help but laugh. The Thunderous Prison Vine had only provided the Star Vein Crystal with the lowest grade of Heavenly Forged Metal, resulting in insufficient tempering and thus affecting its quality.

"Truly brilliant, a resounding success." How can a young person not be full of pride? Why should Zhenhua be stingy with his praise?

The position of master craftsman can now be passed down. Zhenhua is free of worries, and the fine lines around his eyes have almost disappeared.

Qian Gu Xing Ci raised his hand and grasped his first Heavenly Forging creation, an otherworldly charm emanating from him.

The master craftsman...can control all the armies in the land!

"I will announce the change of master craftsmen on a chosen day... A new master craftsman arrives on the continent..."

Zhenhua patted Qian Guxingci's shoulder with his hand, which was twice the size of a normal person's, his eyes full of entrustment.

“Master, you have not lost your ability to forge Heaven, while I forcibly knocked on the door of Heaven forging. You are still the divine craftsman recognized by the plane.”

The old master was kindly reminded that he had not yet reached retirement age.

Memories flooded back. Zhenhua's original intention was to teach, not to hand over the reins. The rule that only one master craftsman could exist in a plane always applied. The joy of his apprentice's success overshadowed everything else.

"The Divine Craftsman is recognized by the plane and possesses a faint power of creation. Isn't your success a result of the plane's selection of the best?"

"I have my own ingenious plan. By chance, I came to understand how to create it, and in my early years I had a close relationship with the Golden Tree."

"As I understand it, the position of Divine Craftsman is a privilege granted by the plane; the person with the highest forging skill is inevitably destined for the position. In other words, you became Divine Craftsmen first, and then gained the ability of Heavenly Forging. I, on the other hand, accomplished both of these things on my own."

There are many who recognize the existence of different planes. Based on this, Qian Gu Xing Ci took a different path to ascend to the world of Tian Tuan.

Zhenhua's brain malfunctioned, and his long-cherished retirement plan fell through. Forging was his passion, but if forging were to harm his body, he would rather forgo the divine craftsmanship to prolong his life.

……

The Blacksmiths' Association was brightly lit that day.

Makino reached out and caught the flying metal, then held it under his nose with a blissful expression, savoring it.

99.9% perfect, a rare find!

To Mu Ye, Zhenhua at the entrance was bathed in a sacred glow, while he conceived of how to update and iterate the parts for Xiao Hong.

"Old buddy, it wasn't for nothing that I raised you to be so plump and healthy!"

Makino grinned from ear to ear. How many people in the world could obtain Heavenly Forged Metal?

"So lucky to be giving a lecture?"

Having worked together for many years, Mu Ye was well aware of his physical condition. The success rate of his Heavenly Forging technique was impressive; producing one piece every two or three years was considered a high output.

Zhenhua lamented, "A new generation replaces the old, and it's disheartening to see a young person forcefully claim the position of master craftsman."

The consensus over thousands of years is that a divine craftsman is unique. Mu Ye asked uncertainly, "Did it succeed?"

"if not?"

Mu Ye's face lit up with joy: "Then where is my disciple? Why didn't he come back with you?"

"The Heavenly Phoenix Douluo has taken it."

……

The residence of the Spirit Tower under the Heavenly Dou City.

Except for Shrek City, where it was later moved to the outskirts, the Spirit Tower's headquarters were all built in the heart of the city. The residence of the Leng family was adjacent to a historic storefront, its bright lights reflecting the street's unique character, the air filled with the fragrance of roses and the scent of hormones.

Groups of young men and women were bidding aggressively for penthouse suites, paying in full. It was rumored that the owner of the adjacent arena was the same person who owned the Rose Hotel, providing the venue for a legend that had lasted for 20,000 years.

The waitresses are very knowledgeable and have several sets of conversation scripts. Customers who book in advance often use a clever combination of techniques, such as choosing the last room available, to elevate the relationship.

The house was unusually quiet. In Hunan's room, a warm lamp cast a soft glow. Qian Gu Xing Ci leaned against the headboard, playing with his first masterpiece of Heavenly Forging in his hand.

The door opened, and a tall, slender figure walked in. Her bathrobe hung loosely on her body, revealing her fair shoulders. The hem barely covered the top of her thighs. Her wet hair was draped over her shoulders, and water droplets slid down her chin and into her collar.

Instead of saying goodnight and going back to her room to rest as she had done when they lived together before, she went straight to the bedside and sat down.

Qian Gu Xing Ci slid down from the position of leaning against the headboard and lay flat on her back. Unfortunately, her vision was only half visible.

"Aunt Leng, mecha."

He held the forged Star Vein Crystal in his palm and placed it in front of Leng Yaozhu, waiting for her reply.

No one over eighteen can resist the allure of mecha!

Leng Yaozhu accepted the metal without replying. Emotions can suppress each other, but neither the joy of her family being able to gain access to the divine craftsman first nor the shock of seeing an eighteen-year-old divine craftsman could suppress her excitement.

A man and a woman alone in a room, such an intimate encounter had occurred in the Star Luo Empire; Qian Gu Xing Ci wouldn't be so oblivious.

Leng Yaozhu has a conservative yet open mindset. She struggles with her distorted feelings but doesn't seek alternative paths.

"You've achieved the flawless golden body, haven't you...?"

"Ah."

"Just consider it a mistake on my part to feed you whale jelly that you've been eating for 100,000 years. Don't feel guilty."
