Chapter 105: The Coming Thunder Tribulation
"No need, Young Master, I can hold on for a while longer. You should rest more," Li Qi insisted.
"Then this is what you need to do: go collect two hundred thousand first-level Demon Cores, just these two types with the same elemental properties," Yang Chen instructed.
"Young Master, are they the Demon Cores from the Bloodthirsty Rabbit and the Nether Cat?" Li Qi asked.
"That's right, but the white beast is not called Bloodthirsty Rabbit; it's called Light Rabbit. Hurry up, I need them urgently," Yang Chen said while controlling the size of the flames.
"Yes, Young Master." Li Qi quickly ran out. Since Yang Chen mentioned it was urgent, Li Qi returned in less than half an hour. It wasn't that Li Qi was particularly fast; rather, the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce had already sold all the available Demon Cores to Li Qi. Therefore, it took only two days to specially transport two hundred thousand Demon Cores from outside, and before they could be stored, they were bought by Li Qi. (To explain why purchasing other items took two months while acquiring Demon Cores only took two days: because unicorns are alive, while items and Demon Cores are inanimate.)
"Young Master, I've brought the items," Li Qi said again as he handed a storage ring to Yang Chen.
"So fast. But is it really Almost there? Are you sure this is exactly two hundred thousand Demon Cores? And that there are equal amounts of both types inside?" Yang Chen inquired.
"Well, that's what the manager of the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce said. Let me count them now," Li Qi replied.
Half an hour later, "Young Master, there are a total of three hundred thousand here, with each type having fifteen thousand."
"Three hundred thousand? Did they sell you twenty thousand? Take out fifty thousand from each type and keep the rest for me," Yang Chen ordered.
"Yes, Young Master." Li Qi selected two Demon Cores and then handed the storage ring to Yang Chen. After receiving it, Yang Chen took out the Bone from the furnace and tossed it onto the nearby forging table. He picked up a blacksmith's hammer and began to use the chaotic hammering technique. Then he threw all one hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine into the furnace.
"Li Qi, take good care of the fur. When the Demon Cores melt into liquid form, don't let any fur touch it, understood?" Yang Chen instructed while forging.
"Why not forge them separately?" Li Qi asked while keeping an eye on the furnace.
"Separate forging, and the fur cannot be tainted by the essence of the Demon Core."
"Yes, Young Master." After that, Yang Chen used the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique to forge the Beast Bone. After one hundred and eight strikes, the originally two and a half meter long cervical vertebra became elongated and straight, measuring about two meters one in length. One end was oval and smooth, while the other end was sharp like a spear, with the entire bone appearing silver-white. Yang Chen then tossed the Beast Bone back into the furnace, considering that the temperature was too low, he infused a burst of life essence into it, causing the temperature to rise significantly.
Although Li Qi was very curious, he did not ask any questions.
After a moment of silence, Yang Chen pulled out the Beast Fur and tossed it onto the forging table to use the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique for refining. After one hundred and eight strikes, the originally five centimeters thick fur was reduced to four centimeters thick. Yang Chen was still not satisfied and continued using the technique. After nine more applications, when the Beast Fur had been reduced to nine millimeters thick, Yang Chen finally stopped forging and tossed this red fur, measuring one meter two in length, nine centimeters in width, and nine millimeters in thickness, back into the furnace.
He then said to Li Qi, "Are you tired? Do you want to take a break? Leave this to me; I will need you later."
"No need, Young Master. You should take a break instead. I know I won't be able to help much from here on out, so you should rest and recover your energy," Li Qi declined.
Yang Chen thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I will rest for three hours. For now, just keep an eye on this furnace. Remember, do not let any of them come into contact with each other."
"Yes, Young Master."
After infusing a pure burst of life essence into Li Qi's body, he said, "For the next period of time, you will gradually toss the remaining Demon Cores into the furnace as fuel."
"Yes, Young Master." With that, Li Qi took out one hundred Demon Cores from his storage ring—half black and half white—and tossed them into the furnace. Seeing this, Yang Chen turned around and left everything in Li Qi's hands. He went to the blacksmith's resting room, lay down, and gently fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow. He did not wake until three hours later.
Quietly approaching Li Qi from behind, he gently patted his shoulder and infused another burst of life essence into him while softly saying, "You should rest now; I will take care of everything from here on." Although Yang Chen did not know how long he had been forging, he estimated it must have been at least a week.
"No need, Young Master. I still want to stay with you. I want to be the second person to see my Shadow Kill Banner come into existence," Li Qi insisted.
"Alright. How many Demon Cores do you have left?" Yang Chen asked with emotion.
"There are two hundred and two left," Li Qi replied. Since he had been tossing them in one hundred at a time, it was normal to have two remaining.
Yang Chen stepped forward lightly to take over Li Qi's task. He controlled the flames while instructing Dragon Soul to mobilize spiritual power to slowly bring the liquid essence of the Demon Cores closer to the Beast Fur. Carefully etching a Spirit Gathering Array while dotting tiny Demon Cores onto the fur's surface, Yang Chen also used these small Demon Cores to inscribe a Nine Palace Array.
Time passed minute by minute, and the spiritual liquid became scarcer. The two hundred thousand Pocket-sized Demon Cores piled on the ground also dwindled, revealing the shapes of two daggers on the red fur. One was pitch black and sinister, while the other was pure white and sacred. They represented the Kiss of the Demon and the Sigh of the Angel. Below them were two gray characters—'Shadow Kill.'
"This, this is our military flag! This is our military flag!" Li Qi's eyes instantly became moist. The military flag is the soul of an army; an army without a flag cannot be considered a perfect army.
"Boom, boom, boom." The sky was overcast with dark clouds, and lightning flashed.
"What’s going on? Why is it thundering out of nowhere?" Li Qi gently pushed open the door and looked at the sky.
"Thunder Tribulation? Ha ha, it seems this military flag truly lives up to my expectations." Yang Chen said cheerfully after embedding the last drop of spiritual liquid and the final Pocket-sized Demon Core.
"Young Master, is it done?" Li Qi asked.
"Almost there, Li Qi, tell me what color the thunderclouds are?" Yang Chen inquired.
"Young Master, what other color can lightning be? Isn’t it just white?" Li Qi asked in confusion.
"White? White tribulation clouds are merely artifacts. Sigh." Yang Chen shook his head slightly, expressing regret.
"Artifacts?" Li Qi exclaimed in surprise, but from the Young Master's tone, it seemed he didn't think much of artifacts?
Yang Chen decisively threw two hundred Demon Cores into the furnace while simultaneously channeling a pure life essence into it. Then he took out the remaining two Demon Cores. Holding the white Demon Core in his left hand and the black Demon Core in his right, he activated the Demon God Strategy with both hands to quickly melt the two Demon Cores into liquid. Then green and gray essences emerged from his hands and were slowly infused into the two pools of liquid.
