Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

“…”

From that moment on, Jiang Mo knew exactly what those lightning bolts hovering high in the sky were all about.

God willing.

Robbery of the artifact.

In ancient times, when extraordinary magical artifacts were forged and disrupted the balance of the human world, special divine punishment would descend with lightning to try to destroy them.

However, even for magical artifacts like the Longevity Instrument and the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle, they have only just touched the threshold. The occurrence of an artifact tribulation is an extremely rare event, and throughout history, there have been only a handful of recorded cases.

The reason for this huge difference is probably the user. In the hands of a weaker Master, it can't cause any trouble and is no different from a useless tool, but in the hands of a powerful Master, it is a deadly weapon that can plunder everything.

Should I block it?

Can it be blocked?

In a fleeting moment, complex thoughts raced through Jiang Mo's mind.

The sea of ​​lightning in the sky was still brewing wildly to an even greater limit; the lightning had undergone a transformation, turning blood red.

Fate deprived him of the elixir of immortality, but isn't human desire also a reflection of fate?

In ancient times, there were Dao Lords who, despite facing the obstruction of Heaven's will, managed to obtain the right to exist in the world with their natal magic weapon. They even regarded this as the highest honor and as a test from Heaven.

Whether it can be blocked or not is another question. As far as Jiang Mo knows, the weapon tribulation is divided into five colors: white, blue, red, black, and purple, and its power increases accordingly.

“…”

Looking up at the crimson thunder pool hanging high in the sky, it was about to pour down like a mountain torrent and sweep across the earth.

Based on his keen intuition, Jiang Mo judged that its power was limited and far inferior to the light of world destruction.

The Kingdom of Heaven resides within his body, moving with him, while the Tribulation of the Artifacts will likely follow closely, suppressing him first before targeting the Longevity Instrument.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, Jiang Mo constructed a deep purple void portal, its coordinates locked onto North Kolai Island overseas. Without a moment's pause, it vanished, disappearing more than 10,000 kilometers away.

"Boom!!"

The lightning, having lost its target, did not dissipate but instead continued to expand, disappearing into the sea of ​​clouds. At the same time, regardless of distance, it descended upon the sky above the island.

A figure with frosty hair stood in the void, calm and fearless, his hands shimmering with light. His martial arts aura caused the sun and moon to dim and the seas to churn.

"Boom!!!"

Blood-red lightning dominated the entire sky, stretching endlessly and dyeing the sky a terrifying crimson. The wind howled incessantly, and the white air currents whistled like thousands of blades flashing with cold light.

It felt like the end of the world; the calamity was about to destroy the Longevity Ritual.

Jiang Mo gazed into the distance, his heart as still as water. He reached his peak state, recreating the heroic figure he had honed his martial arts here years ago, like a soaring sun looking down upon all living beings.

Human desires versus divine will!

"Boom!!"

In an instant, a waterfall of crimson lightning, at an unimaginable speed, tore through the clouds and crashed down vertically, covering North Corley Island in a mighty torrent.

"..."

Jiang Mo gathered his strength and unleashed a punch. Infinite true qi erupted, transforming into an even more magnificent stream of light that soared into the sky, colliding fiercely with the blood thunder, neither gaining the upper hand.

"Boom!!!"

Two completely different forces, like water and fire, waxed and waned, locked in a stalemate in mid-air.

In an instant, the weapon raged fiercely, its power surging dramatically. The descending lightning bolts were dense and countless, filling the empty and vast void.

"Bang!!"

"Boom!—"

Jiang Mo gathered strength in his arms, his punches becoming faster and faster, the afterimages so blurry they were impossible to see. The bursts of fist energy were like waves, continuously layering up, and he single-handedly reversed the trend, suppressing the thunder in the sky to the point that it could not move an inch, with most of it being forcibly blasted apart along the way.

"Boom!!!"

After a stalemate of fifteen minutes, this massive tug-of-war came to an end. Jiang Mo's fists struck like dragons, utterly destroying the sea of ​​clouds and dispelling the dark clouds that stretched for miles.

His gaze swept across the void, remaining vigilant for a long time, until he confirmed that the weapon tribulation had ended. Only then did he return to the heavens and meet the three weapon refiners.

"Mystic Lord, what's wrong with you?!"

Du Yan was extremely surprised. The moment they met, he was overwhelmed by that terrifying aura, almost suffocating him. He felt awe and fear in his heart, completely bewildered.

Not only him, but the other two weapon refiners also changed their expressions drastically. The other disciples almost collapsed to the ground, breathing rapidly and with lifeless eyes.

"nothing....."

Realizing his state was truly terrifying, Jiang Mo quickly suppressed his Qi to the extreme, and then recounted to everyone what had just happened outside.

"What?! A weapon calamity?!"

Upon hearing the description, Du Yan was stunned, followed by a torrent of joy. He burst into laughter, as if he had lost his mind, completely disregarding his composure.

The two elderly people of his generation were also so excited that their faces turned red and they became incoherent.

"It's done! Hahaha!! It's done!!"

"Hahaha!! This trip was worthwhile!! My life has been worth it!"

The three men's laughter shattered the sky and only stopped after a long time. Jiang Mo knew the reason for their behavior and smiled faintly.

The Spirit Forging Sect has had this tradition since ancient times: any weapon refiner who can forge a magical artifact that is locked by the weapon tribulation.

Regardless of whether they ultimately created a masterpiece, they were undoubtedly the most outstanding members of the sect, possessing unparalleled skills, which was a supreme honor.

"Mysterious Venerable One, please look at your Longevity Ritual."

Once the laughter subsided, Du Yan waved his hand, as if issuing a royal command that could not be disobeyed. At a certain spot on the stone steps of the vast starry sky, the furnace of the altar opened, and a magical artifact with an exquisite and complex structure flew out.

It is shaped like the tip of a spear, with the end resembling a pot. It is transparent and flows with a dreamlike light blue color. Long, slender rays of light, like the embodiment of some kind of law, are arranged in a wheel shape and hang in the middle of it.

“…”

Jiang Mo raised his hand forward, grabbed it, and instantly refined it, beginning to familiarize himself with the structure of the Longevity Instrument and how to activate it. Du Yan, standing beside him, explained in detail the precautions and taught Jiang Mo the complete method of use.

Thus, he possessed the Trinity Gate, the first longevity instrument in history!

This was something that previous generations of sect leaders and grandmasters had strived for but could not obtain, but Jiang Mo's generation had finally achieved it.

Unlike the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle, whose durability decreases significantly with use, the Longevity Instrument, as long as it remains intact and is not destroyed by external forces, can be passed down indefinitely. The only threat to it is the corrosion of time.

"Thank you, seniors, and everyone else." Jiang Mo bowed to everyone in thanks.

"You're too kind. Please wait here. Your weapon has been repaired, and a new jade burial suit has been made."

"It's over there at the altar. We can't retrieve it ourselves; it's too heavy. You'll need to go get it yourself. This way, please—"

After saying this, the old man led Jiang Mo to a colossal object burning with ancient flames.

Its structure is very special, consisting of different interconnected areas responsible for quenching, forging, baptism, and engraving. Almost every step in the process can be found in a corresponding part here.

The furnace opening resembled a giant beast with its jaws wide open, inside which lay a heavy sword that was entirely black.

Jiang ignored it, a warm smile appearing on his lips. He reached out and grabbed it, pulling it out and feeling its terrifying weight. It felt incredibly comfortable in his palm, just right.

Subsequently, the jade burial suit, carved with flowing gold cloud patterns and pure white, was also taken out.

"My Lord Xuan... Please forgive my limited skill. The jade garment you provided has the divine power of the Earthly Fiends, while we can only refine the divine power of the Heavenly Dippers. We cannot comprehend the principles of many techniques, and dare not start easily. Moreover, the materials are also limited. I hope you will understand."

A troubled look appeared on Du Yan's weathered face.

There simply wasn't enough time. Refining the Longevity Ritual had consumed most of his and his two junior brothers' energy, and the Cloud Frost Jade Robe was also quite difficult to make. Unless they were given another two or three years, creating a divine jade robe of the Earthly Fiend level would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"It's alright, the jade robe of the Heavenly Gang number is enough."

Jiang Mo smiled at him, indicating that it was unimportant. Most of the spells engraved on the jade suit were based on the Three Ones True Method and evolved from it. He could also use them, but he needed a certain amount of pre-cast time before he could release them.

For him, wearing the Cloud Frost Jade Armor was more symbolic than practical.

"That's good...."

Du Yan smiled with satisfaction. He had indeed done his best. Looking at the white-haired man who had put on his jade robe again, he was aloof and immaculate, no different from an immortal.

He would probably never forget this in his life. He felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. To be able to forge a magical artifact for the strongest Master, which would be passed down to future generations, was a significant achievement.

After Jiang Mo finished verifying the three magical artifacts, the transaction between the two parties ended. Jiang Mo did not take back the blueprints for the Longevity Instrument, nor did he erase their memories. Instead, he built a void portal and sent them back to Yaochi.

"If you encounter any calamity in the future, you may come to the Trinity Gate to find me!"

Jiang Mo had a good impression of the weapon refiners, so he left them a keepsake and bid them farewell.

"We are deeply grateful for your great kindness and will never forget it. We respectfully bid farewell to the Venerable One!"

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Venerable Xuanzun!"

Inside the forbidden area of ​​Yaochi, three white-haired old men watched the frosty white figure disappear into the distance.

......

October 6th, late at night, all was quiet.

Jiang Mo arrived at the Blissful Secret Realm alone.

The area is lush with vegetation, boasts clear waters and beautiful mountains, and has exceptionally fresh air. The cluster of peaks is magnificent and unique, and its area is similar to that of the Sanyi Secret Realm.

A faint, lingering sense of mourning permeated the heavens and the earth.

It was as if countless lives sensed that Jiang Mo's arrival would bring irreversible destruction, and were filled with fear.

"..."

However, without a master, the secret realm was no match for a monster like Jiang Mo. Everything was a foregone conclusion. The grudges of a thousand years began to be settled the moment Jiang Mo summoned the Longevity Ritual.

"Buzz!"

Jiang Mo formed a hand seal with his left hand, chanted ancient incantations, and lightly touched the Longevity Instrument with his right hand, using himself as a connector to link it with the Trinity Secret Realm.

Then, after a few breaths, the spell was complete. The Longevity Instrument floated in the void and began to expand and grow continuously, becoming terrifyingly vast, nearly two thousand meters long, resembling a starship pointing vertically at the Earth's surface.

"Boom!!!"

In an instant, the charge was complete, and a burst of intense light erupted from the tip of the spear, which was suspended in mid-air. It blasted through the ground for thousands of meters and began to plunder spiritual energy.

Everything was withering and crumbling. The sky, which was originally silvery-gray with a hint of deep blue, suddenly turned a deathly gray-white and expanded with unstoppable force. Fertile land turned into desert, vegetation withered, and hurricanes swept through, uprooting everything in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Mo calmly watched all of this as the secret realm vanished before his eyes. It was a pity that the senior who had been trapped in a daze for over 1,700 years did not have the chance to see this scene.

The palaces and buildings that once stood atop the mountains were scattered like ashes by the wind, forcibly erasing all traces of the existence of the Paradise Palace.

Birds and beasts turned into skeletons, the ground collapsed, revealing dark cracks, deep within which scalding, slowly writhing magma was rapidly cooling and solidifying into grayish-brown rocks.

"Boom!!!"

At the same moment, in the distant San Yi Secret Realm, a vast amount of spiritual energy suddenly emerged and spread into the sky, the earth, and the mountains and lakes.

This sudden situation alarmed those inside the gate. Chengzhen, Zhuge Yu, and Changqing all came out and realized that their senior uncle had succeeded and was plundering the spiritual energy of the defeated secret realm. His momentum was so great that it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was changing the world!

For the next five days, Jiang Mo stayed at the Blissful Secret Realm, never leaving its side.

On the evening of the sixth day, the Longevity Ritual completely emptied the area. As far as the eye could see, it was all desert, without even a trace of water. The secret realm had been depleted to the extreme, with no possibility of revival.

"Wow——!"

Jiang Mo immediately headed to the next stop. Meanwhile, the boundary nails he had placed in the other three secret realms were also on the verge of collapse, and new boundary nails needed to be driven down and placed along the edge of the secret realm to solidify their positions.

After he finished rearranging, there were very few boundary nails left, but fortunately they could hold out for about two weeks.

"Boom!!"

The menacing beam of light pierced through the vast earth once again, and the second secret realm to be turned into nourishment was the Realm of Immortality.

It has lakes that seem to stretch endlessly, dotted with scattered yet densely packed islands, and its overall area is twice as large as the combined area of ​​the Paradise Realm and the Trinity Realm.

With time running out, Jiang Mo activated the Longevity Instrument with all his might, frantically extracting the life force and spiritual energy from the place at its maximum efficiency, a process that took a full eight days to complete.

In late October, we arrived at the Jiuchong Mountain Secret Realm, plundered for 6 days, and then left.

Just before all the boundary nails shattered, Jiang Mo traversed countless voids and stormed into the Ancient Spring Ruins Secret Realm to begin the final refining process.

In early November, the refining of the four secret realms was completely completed. A massive amount of spiritual energy surged into the Trinity Secret Realm, extending its lifespan from over a thousand years to a full two thousand four hundred years!

In other words, as long as there are not multiple Xuanming level 6 or 7 experts at the same time, the Sanyi Secret Realm can provide disciples with up to 2400 years of cultivation time.

In a cold and desolate world, with withered bones scattered everywhere, Jiang Mo raised his head to the sky. The Longevity Instrument shrank countless times in an instant, returned to his palm, and disappeared into the heavenly kingdom with a slight flash.

"Boom——"
