In the depths of the Gonggong Cave, icy air floated like mist in the air, filling the entire hall with coldness and gloom. This place was not only filled with the purest water element in the world but also harbored the vengeful spirit of Water God Gonggong after his death. A powerful ancient god had turned into a pile of decayed bones here, and one could imagine the resentment he held. As an ancient water deity, Gonggong's power likely exceeded Ye Yang and the others' imagination, making this resentment almost palpable, putting immense pressure on Ye Yang, Yun Xiaoxi, and Zeng Xuan. As for Qin Fang, he had once again returned to the Haotian Sword; his soul had not yet fully strengthened and could not withstand the severe cold of this environment.
"Gonggong..."
Yun Xiaoxi blinked as she looked at the pile of bones sitting on the throne ahead and said, "This ancient water god still possesses such an imposing aura after death; it's truly remarkable. Zi Yu, as the new generation Fire God, you should be able to stand toe-to-toe with a water god. But why... do I feel that there is such a huge gap between you and Gonggong?"
Ye Yang twitched his mouth and replied, "Gonggong is an ancient god who has lived for tens of thousands of years or even longer. After cultivating for so long, he has probably reached the level of an Upper Deity, while I am not even a Mid-Level Deity. How could I possibly compare to him? Besides, when Gonggong was enraged, he knocked down Mount Buzhou. When I get angry, I can't even knock down your Tiny Waist..."
Yun Xiaoxi's cheeks flushed as she laughed and said, "You can still be so relaxed at a time like this; is it confidence or ignorance?"
Zeng Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "God knows what this kid has in his head..."
...
Ye Yang pursed his lips and said, "It's about to begin!"
As he spoke, he summoned the Divine Dragon Cauldron from his Cosmic Bag. With a loud "hong," the massive cauldron appeared amidst boundless flames. The impact echoed on the iron floor of Gonggong's hall, sending sparks flying. The Divine Dragon Cauldron was surrounded by floating dragon patterns that shimmered in and out of visibility; the flames were blazing brightly. Undoubtedly, after forging the Haotian Sword in Boundless Purgatory, the spiritual power of the Divine Dragon Cauldron had greatly increased. This was also where Ye Yang's confidence in reforging the Pangu Axe came from.
He rummaged through his Cosmic Bag and found quite a bit of Azure Steel. Although this metal was insufficient for reforging artifacts, it could be melted down to purify and absorb impurities from the Azure Dragon Halberd and Pangu Axe, allowing these artifacts to regain their essence when they reappeared in the world. Ye Yang firmly believed that as long as one had sufficient strength, reforging ancient artifacts would not be a problem.
With a series of "pa pa pa," several large pieces of Azure Steel were placed into the Divine Dragon Cauldron. Ye Yang leaned on the Haotian Sword and stood majestically before the Divine Dragon Cauldron, enveloped in flames. Waves of scorching Fire God Power flowed like ribbons into the Divine Dragon Cauldron. In no time at all, the cauldron became intensely hot; astonishingly, within less than ten minutes, several large pieces of Azure Steel had already melted away with bubbling sounds.
Zeng Xuan sat on a high platform not far away and took out two roasted chickens and a jug of Jasmine Wine from his spatial bracelet. He called out, "Xiaoxi, come sit with me; let's have some wine and food to warm up. Zi Yu will take a long time forging weapons."
"Um..." Yun Xiaoxi responded and leaped over to sit beside Zeng Xuan.
Zeng Xuan raised his hand and conjured a flame that roasted one chicken before placing it on a lotus leaf to hand it to Yun Xiaoxi. He then took another roasted piece for himself and chewed slowly while sipping Jasmine Wine.
However, Yun Xiaoxi's bright eyes did not leave Ye Yang or the Divine Dragon Cauldron; she was deeply concerned about whether Ye Yang could successfully reforge it. After all, if Ye Yang failed, chaos would surely ensue across the three realms. The Asura God was invincible in the human realm, while there was no news from Fuxi or Nuwa in the divine realm. No one knew if these Ancient Divine Clans were still alive; if they were still alive, why would they allow the human realm to be trampled by the Asura God?
The worst-case scenario is that the Asura God is causing havoc in the divine realm. For some reason, both Fuxi and Nüwa have fallen, which can only lead to this speculation; otherwise, with Fuxi and Nüwa's benevolence, it would be impossible for the human realm to be in such chaos.
Zeng Xuan glanced at Yun Xiaoxi and smiled, "Xiaoxi, there's no need to worry so much. That kid is quite strong! I remember that Azure Steel is extremely hard. In Linzi's God of Fire Forge, even a master blacksmith like Ye Beichi would need to hammer it with Star Flame for three days and nights to melt Azure Steel. Look at that kid Zi Yu; he managed to melt Azure Steel in less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick. His cultivation level is probably something Ye Beichi, Ye Shuang, and the others could never catch up to. After entering the Celestial Realm, Zi Yu's firepower has transformed into Mysterious Inferno, which is indeed much more powerful than Star Flame."
Yun Xiaoxi bit her red lips and said, "Sister Xuan, are you really not worried at all? What if Zi Yu doesn't manage to reforge the Pangu Axe? What should we do?"
Zeng Xuan was taken aback for a moment and chuckled, "I was wondering what you were concerned about; so it's this. Actually... I'm not worried at all. Perhaps it's because I've lived too long. My life has been Arrogant until these past few years when I met you and Zi Yu. Only then did I truly feel the essence of living. That's enough for me. If the Asura God wants to kill me, then let him do it. Regardless of whether they are human or divine, everyone will die eventually. A moment of brilliance like a blooming flower is sufficient."
Yun Xiaoxi laughed softly, "Yes, Sister Xuan is indeed simpler than I thought; I was overthinking it. I just... I just hope I can accompany him for a little longer..."
Zeng Xuan trembled slightly and said with a smile, "Xiaoxi, Zi Yu loves you deeply, and you have feelings for him too. Even if it's just for a fleeting day or an hour, being able to understand each other's love makes this life without regrets."
"Sister Xuan..."
"Eat something quickly; girls should be beautiful and fair. Otherwise, that guy Zi Yu will definitely find you unappealing..."
Yun Xiaoxi pouted her lips and took a bite of roasted chicken, revealing a rare sweet smile.
...
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
After an unknown amount of time, the Azure Steel in the Divine Dragon Cauldron was almost boiling over. Finally, Ye Yang suddenly raised his hand; the Azure Dragon Halberd wrapped in flames and Dragon Qi fell into the cauldron. Following that, the blade part of the Pangu Axe was also placed inside. The two divine artifacts rolled in the molten metal as they underwent Ye Yang's refining.
"Zi Yu, do you want something to eat?" Yun Xiaoxi asked.
Ye Yang shook his head with closed eyes, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. "Xiaoxi, if you're feeling bored, go outside with Sister Xuan for a walk. Although the wind and snow are a bit heavy, it's better than staying here. The Gonggong Cave is just too cold; I'm worried you won't be able to handle it..."
"We can handle it!" Yun Xiaoxi insisted stubbornly.
Zeng Xuan pursed her lips and said, "Xiaoxi, let's go out for a stroll and see what the sky looks like outside. Is it day or night right now..."
"Okay then..." Yun Xiaoxi picked up the Snowdrift Sword, leaped into the air, and followed Zeng Xuan out of the cave.
...
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
The Divine Dragon Cauldron continued to clang incessantly. It was incredibly difficult to refine an ancient artifact. Ye Yang knew that this time reforging the Pangu Axe was not only a challenge for himself but also for the Divine Dragon Cauldron. The Pangu Axe was a rare divine weapon, its level surpassing that of the Divine Dragon Cauldron, making it extremely challenging to refine.
"Zi Yu, your True Qi strength is getting higher and higher..." A voice from the Haotian Sword spoke, belonging to Qin Fang. "Use your strongest power to melt the Azure Dragon Halberd. Remember the True Qi Vortex Principle you learned from the Barbarian King. The strongest power is fluid; create a hotter Fire God Power using the vortex of power. This is the moment to melt the Pangu Axe!"
"Got it!"
Ye Yang's heart lit up; Qin Fang's reminder was indeed timely!
Reforming the Mysterious Inferno, this time Ye Yang integrated the True Qi vortex principle into the Fire God Power. Waves of Mysterious Inferno whirled around the Divine Dragon Cauldron, with flames piercing like blades into the edge of the Azure Dragon Halberd. Only in this way could he melt this extraordinary Divine Weapon.
A harsh clanging sound echoed as the Mysterious Inferno attacked the Azure Dragon Halberd, producing a sound akin to weapons clashing.
Yun Xiaoxi and Zeng Xuan immediately awoke from their meditation. They saw the Divine Dragon Cauldron trembling, and the entire Gonggong Cave was shaking. Countless flames surged around the Divine Dragon Cauldron, with pieces flaking off from the edges of the Azure Dragon Halberd and Pangu Axe Blade, revealing a golden unknown metallic sheen beneath!
Finally, Ye Yang successfully refined these two ancient artifacts!
...
Yun Xiaoxi clapped her hands and laughed, "Zi Yu is indeed amazing!"
Zeng Xuan calmly replied, "How powerful his skills are, you probably haven't truly appreciated yet. This is just the tip of the iceberg; look how excited you are!"
"Sister Xuan, you..." Yun Xiaoxi, despite having undergone many trials from Zeng Xuan, still felt her face flush red upon hearing those words.
Zeng Xuan immediately said, "Zi Yu, focus on refining the weapon and don't get distracted by the stream!"
Ye Yang shamefully withdrew his gaze from Yun Xiaoxi. He was truly infatuated with this girl.
...
The next step in the forging process involved removing impurities from the Azure Dragon Halberd and Pangu Axe. This was a very meticulous and grueling process. While refining the weapon, it also served as a tempering of Ye Yang's Divine Power.
After two full days, at last, the impurities were completely cleared. Ye Yang slowly began to refine and reshape the appearance of the Pangu Axe using Fire God Power, based on what he had seen in Wild Wonderland. Gradually, a new Pangu Axe hovered in mid-air within the Divine Dragon Cauldron, undergoing tempering and scorching from flames coming from all directions.
Ye Yang opened his eyes, which seemed to be ablaze with flames, penetrating through everything in the world.
"Zi Yu!"
Zeng Xuan suddenly stood up, extremely excited. "Zi Yu, you have broken through to Initial Deity, haven't you?"
Ye Yang nodded, a smile spreading across his face as he replied, "Yes, Sister Zeng Xuan. My power and understanding of the laws have reached the level of Mid-Level Deity!"
Zeng Xuan was overjoyed. "That's great! This gives us more confidence in dealing with the Asura God. Zi Yu, how much longer will it take to complete the reshaping of the Pangu Axe? We don't have much time left. Tomorrow is the day when the Asura God will break the seal. If we return too late, Xiang Yu, Zhang Tianhe, and Liu Bang might die!"
Ye Yang assured her, "Don't worry. I can finish reshaping the Pangu Axe today!"
"Good!"
...
Not long after, the magma on the surface of the Pangu Axe began to fall away. Ye Yang raised his arm as streams of Fire God Power shot out, swirling around the newly formed Pangu Axe, continuously refining its shape and edge. Such meticulous work could only be accomplished by Ye Yang alone because his mastery of Fire Element far surpassed that of any Master Smith!
"Alright!"
Suddenly, Ye Yang broke through the fiery shield, and an endless wave of icy air surged towards the Pangu Axe. The scorching weapon was struck by the icy blast, emitting a hissing sound, which only made the newly forged Pangu Axe's edge more pronounced.
"Hehe, did it work?" Zeng Xuan asked excitedly.
Yun Xiaoxi also stood up to look.
...
At that moment, a sudden change occurred as a Crimson Shadow burst forth, shouting, "Ye Yang, I, Peng Cheng, have come to take your life!"
Peng Cheng!
Undead Peng Cheng had been cultivating in the Blood Land for a long time and finally appeared, his arm transforming into a blood-red claw that struck heavily towards Ye Yang's arm.
"Bang!"
Caught off guard, Ye Yang was hit directly. However, the Mid-Level Deity's Cosmic Armor was even more resilient, and with just True Qi, he managed to dissipate at least seventy percent of Peng Cheng's attack. This left Peng Cheng very surprised; he never expected Ye Yang to be this formidable. Even after his arduous cultivation, he still found himself outmatched.
"Seeking death!"
Ye Yang raised one hand, and the Fire God Seal struck heavily against Peng Cheng's chest. Despite being at the Initial Deity level, Peng Cheng staggered back repeatedly and crashed against the rock wall, a large hole burned into his chest. Yet he did not die; instead, his flesh writhed and quickly regenerated back to full form.
"Hahaha, do you think this will kill me?"
Peng Cheng laughed maniacally, his arm waving as waves of death True Qi surged forth. With a series of slaps that echoed loudly, he not only attacked Ye Yang but also sent two strikes towards Zeng Xuan and Yun Xiaoxi!
"Ugh!"
Two girls gathered True Qi together, and the sword blade shattered Peng Cheng's palm wind.
Ye Yang raised her leg and kicked out Fire God True Qi, completely shattering Peng Cheng's attacks. However, suddenly, Ye Yang's heart raced as she looked up and saw an old man with a pale face, Ling Kong, standing proudly. His palm transformed into a blade, striking heavily towards the newly forged Pangu Axe. Arrogant shouted, " Ye Yang, do you really think that Asura God Ancestor will allow you to reforge Pangu Axe to kill him?!"
"Bang!"
An unexpected event occurred; the Pangu Axe was struck hard at a critical moment before its reforging, shattering with a loud noise and scattering into countless starlights in Gonggong Cave!
The attacker was none other than the leader of Asura Hall, the long-unseen Xuan Lian!
……
"Heavenly Kill's Xuan Lian!"
Ye Yang gritted her teeth, watching the brilliance of Pangu Axe scatter, her eyes blood-red: "You beast, how can you disregard the lives of the Common People in the three realms and instead ally with Asura God! Beast! Beast!!"
