Chapter 073: Divine Craftsman Tang An
"Divine Artifact Thunder Tribulation? Is it really that powerful?" Tang An asked in confusion.
"This is the Heavenly Divine Artifact Thunder Tribulation," Yang Chen said calmly.
"You know about the Heavenly Artifact?" Tang An said in surprise.
"Half of it was crafted by me, so of course I know," Yang Chen replied.
"Half of it was crafted by you?" Tang An looked at Yang Chen in astonishment, then turned to Tang Feng. Tang Feng nodded in agreement and then explained the past to Tang An.
"Yang Chen, since you have learned my Haotian Sect's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, then you should take me as your master," Tang An said matter-of-factly.
"You? You are not worthy!" Yang Chen said lightly.
"What did you say!" Tang An was immediately furious.
"I was able to craft a Heavenly Artifact with the help of your disciple. Are you saying that as a senior, you need to independently craft a Heavenly Artifact to qualify as my master?" Yang Chen said lazily.
"You!" Tang An helplessly replied, "That's right. You were able to take a shortcut and craft a Heavenly Artifact with the help of a master blacksmith. I indeed cannot compare to you, nor do I have the qualifications to be your master." Tang An said despondently.
"Alright, the matter of accepting a disciple was just an idle thought of mine." After saying that, he turned to look at Tang Feng and said, "This time, your assistance in crafting a Heavenly Artifact for the Lord of Loulan City will make the Heavenly Crafting Furnace even more powerful." Hearing this, Yang Chen looked at the Heavenly Crafting Furnace and saw that indeed, the Dragon Lure Sword was undergoing tempering from the heavenly thunder. At the same time, some of the power of the heavenly thunder was being channeled through the Dragon Lure Sword and striking the Heavenly Crafting Furnace, refining it.
"The Heavenly Thunder is divided into three, six, and nine grades. Similarly, only weapons of Celestial Artifact level or above will attract the descent of Heavenly Thunder. There are three levels of Celestial Artifact Thunder, six levels of Divine Artifact Thunder, and nine levels of Heavenly Artifact Thunder. However, between Divine Artifacts and Heavenly Artifacts, there is another level, which is the Sacred Artifact! A Sacred Artifact is essentially a Divine Artifact that has acquired merit, thus becoming a Sacred Artifact. For example, this Heavenly Fire Furnace has produced countless Celestial Artifacts since it was passed down from my Haotian Sect ancestor Tang San. Divine Artifacts have also been forged from it. However, this is the first time a Heavenly Artifact has been forged!"
"Tang, Tang San?" Yang Chen said in confusion. The Tang San from the Douluo Continent, and this version of him also uses the Chaos Hammer Technique. I just wonder if he has the Haotian Hammer talent...
"Heavenly Thunder is also divided into upper, middle, and lower grades. The lower-grade Heavenly Thunder is blood-colored, corresponding to lower-grade Heavenly Artifacts. The middle-grade Heavenly Thunder is purple, while the upper-grade Heavenly Thunder is black. Over the past decade, I discovered in an ancient ruin that there are rumored to be supreme-grade Heavenly Artifacts!" Tang An said.
"Supreme grade? Oh, just supreme grade." Yang Chen confidently said as he looked at the blood-colored Heavenly Thunder before him. Soon, the ninth blood-colored Heavenly Thunder fell and struck the Dragon Weaving Sword. The Dragon Weaving Sword remained completely still, quietly standing in place as it endured the bombardment of the blood-colored Heavenly Thunder, which erupted in a burst of crimson light.
Gradually, the Heavenly Thunder receded slowly, and the Calamity Thunder that had lingered for a day quickly dissipated. Everyone understood that the tribulation of Heavenly Thunder had come to an end. A green light swiftly rushed toward Yang Chen; he was startled and immediately realized what it was, allowing it to drill into his soul.
"Dragon Soul, are you okay?" Yang Chen asked.
"I'm fine, and under the protection of the Dragon Weaving Sword, I have survived the Heavenly Artifact tribulation and have already become a sixth-tier magical beast. Ha ha! From now on, I will no longer fear lightning attacks. Gagaga," the Dragon Soul excitedly replied.
"Oh? So does that mean the Dragon Weaving Sword has self-awareness?" Yang Chen asked.
"Yes, but it's like an ordinary baby—weak and helpless. However, it already considers me its friend. This means that anyone other than you, Boss, who touches the Dragon Weaving Sword will face its backlash," the Dragon Soul explained.
"Got it," Yang Chen said. With a wave of his hand, the Dragon Weaving Sword automatically flew back into his grasp, its sheath trembling lightly.
"Ding! Player Yang Chen has forged a Heavenly Artifact-level item; the Blacksmith profession has advanced to Master."
"Ding! Please name the sword sheath." Holding the sword with one hand and pointing its sheath to the sky, Yang Chen roared: "I am a descendant of Yan Huang and am a successor of dragons; therefore, this sword shall be known as the Sword of Yan Huang! Today, I bestow upon you the name—Yan Huang Blood Sheath."
" Ding! Yanhuang Blood Sheath, naming successful." Suddenly, a beam of golden light descended from the sky, splitting into four parts: one landed on Yang Chen, one on Yanhuang Blood Sheath, one on Tang Feng, and one on Heavenly Craft Furnace.
"Master, what is this?" Tang Feng asked in surprise.
"That's right, this is merit. Heaven has a virtue of nurturing life. You two worked together to forge a Heavenly Artifact, and Heaven has bestowed merit upon you." Tang An said enviously. He had never received such merit for a Heavenly Artifact, yet his disciple had received it first.
"Master, I feel like I am now a Divine Craftsman," Tang Feng said in disbelief.
"What? The merit from a Heavenly Artifact is so powerful that it allows you to advance directly from Grandmaster to Divine Craftsman? This completely overturns our ancestors' understanding," Tang An shouted.
"Master, perhaps it's because of Brother Yang's unique blood refinement method? By the way, Brother Yang inscribed incomprehensible patterns on his sheath, which he referred to as a Formation," Tang Feng explained.
"Mm? Formation? What is that? Yang City Lord, may I borrow your sword for a look?" Tang An turned to Yang Chen, who was struggling to draw the sword but couldn't manage it.
"Uh, you don't need to exert yourself; with your current Spirit Realm, you won't be able to draw the sword," Tang An said helplessly.
"Uh? Why not?" Yang Chen asked in confusion. He thought he was using the wrong method, but unfortunately, none of his attempts had worked.
"The artifact is already the strongest weapon on this continent; only a divine being can wield a Heavenly Artifact. You should wait until you become a Saint of Combat before trying again," Tang An said.
"Then doesn't that mean my sword is useless?" Yang Chen said in despair.
"Not necessarily; brother, you can still use the sheath to fight!" Tang Feng suggested.
Yang Chen slapped his forehead and said, "Yeah. How did I not think of that?"
"Check the properties and effects of the Dragonweave Sword."
"Yan Huang Blood Sword (Dragonweave Sword in sheathed state): Weakens 15% of all attributes of hostile creatures within a 500-meter range. Additionally, any attack carries a 0.1-second paralysis effect from Heavenly Thunder." From now on, the sheathed state of the Dragonweave Sword will be referred to as the Yan Huang Blood Sword, while drawing it will be called the Dragonweave Sword.
"A paralysis effect? Hehe, anyone who gets touched by my Cross Quivering Sword won't be able to escape. Hahaha." Yang Chen roared in his heart, "And it also has a hidden lifesteal effect; once the sword is drawn, it directly drains your blood, hahaha."
"Lord Yang, may I borrow your precious sword for a look? I have lived for so long and have yet to see a Heavenly Artifact," Tang An said again.
Yang Chen thought for a moment and deceitfully said, "Oh? Senior Tang wants to take a look at my Yan Huang Blood Sword?"
Tang An felt a hint of unease but nodded shortly after, "Yes."
"Really eager to see it?" Yang Chen asked again.
"Stop beating around the bush and just say what you want," Tang An realized and said.
"Well, I just want Senior to rest here in Loulan City for three years, that's all," Yang Chen said.
"What do you want to do?" Tang An asked.
