Chapter 188 Do you really want to see me that much?

Several swordsmiths who had undergone three refinements were selected, but the priest still did not show his face.

No one was angry or surprised. The War Emperor was a noble and unparalleled official who rarely saw people.

"The sword is complete—"

As everyone waited, Xia Fengyu shouted, and the sword rang out as the divine weapon was forged.

He forged a low-grade, third-tier divine weapon.

"A knife will do too—"

Xiao Hanye was only a beat slower; the blade flashed, the fire simmered, and the divine blade was forged.

"it is good--"

The Heavenly Emperor's son and the Ancient Goddess Shun both stood up, shouted loudly, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Each of the two divine kingdoms possesses at least one divinely bestowed position.

Although the divine artifact was successfully forged, Xiao Hanye and Xia Fengyu were both exhausted and sat down. For them, this was a major test, and they were in a very sorry state.

Although they were happy to have forged the divine artifact, they were also resentful. With only one artifact, they had lost the right to be bestowed by the gods.

If they had enough minerals, they could forge at least two divine artifacts and be allocated a divinely bestowed position from the divine kingdom.

It was all because of that person surnamed Liu that they lost their divinely bestowed qualifications, which made them deeply resentful.

Wei Rourou, representing Jianlu, inspected the divine artifacts for the Divine Dynasty and announced the divine gifts received by the Divine Kingdom.

Fuguang Kingdom emerged as the biggest winner, forging two divine artifacts and securing two slots: Tiankui Divine Kingdom and Gushun Divine Kingdom, each only eligible once.

"Please, High Priest, discuss the forging of the divine artifact in detail."

A fourth-grade swordsmith, unable to contain himself, inquired with the priest.

They traveled from afar, billions of miles away, mainly to discuss forging the War Emperor's divine weapon.

The other fourth-grade high-level swordsmiths nodded in agreement, while the third-grade swordsmiths didn't even have the right to speak.

With divine might, the force of the spear permeated the air; before the person even appeared, the divine weapon emerged, suppressing the entire scene and leaving everyone breathless.

The Undying Emperor Flame Spear, the divine spear of the War Emperor Jin Yu, unleashes divine flames that stretch for thousands of miles, its power boundless and majestic.

Compared to a newly forged divine artifact, it was nurtured by the War Emperor's divine power, making it even more powerful.

The Undying Emperor Flame Spear represents the invincible divine power of the War Emperor Jinyu.

The sight of the spear, though no one was visible, caused everyone to bow in reverence, and many of the third-level swordsmiths were directly suppressed.

"The Undying Emperor Flame Spear, made of Emperor Flame Dao Ore, is of superior quality. Its power as a supreme god is immense and difficult to suppress."

Upon seeing the Undying Emperor Flame Spear and knowing that there was only one Dao Mine, several fourth-grade high-level swordsmiths found it troublesome and dared not easily agree.

For a purely Tier 3 superior-grade divine artifact, the failure rate is relatively low for a Tier 4 superior-grade swordsmith.

However, the power of the War Emperor has been nurtured for so long that it is infinitely powerful. It is extremely difficult to suppress it before it can be poured and forged.

Several fourth-grade high-level swordsmiths estimated that the failure rate was close to seven or eight out of ten.

They immediately hesitated, no wonder the War Emperor was willing to pay an exorbitant price to invite the world's swordsmiths to come.

"A fourth-grade high-quality item, if I were to forge it, I would fail at least three times."

Xiao Hanye also felt awe when he saw the Undying Emperor Flame Spear.

"At least twice."

Xia Fengyu didn't dare to take on this kind of job.

The other four swordsmiths remained silent; none of them dared to claim a 100% success rate.

"A weakling who has only mastered four levels of refinement, trying to make himself look good. He can't even refine a low-grade third-level refinement, yet he wants to refine a high-grade one. He's just bragging without thinking."

A cold laugh rang out, disdainful and looking down at Xia Fengyu and Xiao Hanye.

"The one surnamed Liu—"

Xiao Hanye and Xia Fengyu were furious and turned around abruptly to glare at each other.

Xiao Chengfeng walked over, accompanied by Su Nianyu.

When Liu Chengfeng arrived, many swordsmiths glared at him angrily because he had locked up the Sacrifice Plain, leaving everyone empty-handed.

Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents; how could they not hate Liu Chengfeng?
“You junior at the third level of cultivation have no right to speak. Don’t cause trouble here.”

A fourth-grade swordsmith, seeing that Liu Chengfeng only possessed a third-grade token, waved him away.

"You weaklings think you can become it? No way, you'll explode. Go back to where you came from, and stop embarrassing yourselves."

Liu Chengfeng showed no mercy, letting out a cold laugh and looking down arrogantly at the crowd.

"What audacity—"

These top-grade fourth-level swordsmiths, who would be honored guests and high-ranking advisors in any divine dynasty, were furious.

"Arrogant and reckless, he deserves to be executed!"

Many swordsmiths hated Liu Chengfeng and glared and shouted at him.

"The Divine Dynasty seeks talented individuals and will not tolerate your insolence."

The goddess of ancient Shun's cold light vanished, her divine aura sharpened, and she looked down at Liu Chengfeng, ready to take him down at the slightest provocation.

Since her quest for minerals failed that day, she and Liu Chengfeng didn't stand on ceremony.

"Virtuous? The virtuous is right before our eyes! Could it be you bunch of chickens and dogs?"

Liu Chengfeng sneered, looking down on everyone with arrogance and domineering attitude.

"Young master, you can refine it?"

Seeing Liu Chengfeng's domineering demeanor, the priestess asked him a question.

"What difficulty is there in the fourth rank?"

"You priests ask people to forge weapons without even showing your faces. Is this your way of seeking talent? You're putting on too much airs."

Liu Chengfeng looked down on him, and even with the priest present, he was still unruly.

He wanted to see what kind of beings the priests of the God of War were.

"Arrogant, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, not qualified for the third level of cultivation."

Countless people voiced their anger.

The War Emperor, a divine official of unparalleled nobility, is not someone to be met casually. To even have the honor of meeting him is a great privilege.

"How dare you! You're courting death!"

Zhu Daoyu, the son of the Heavenly Emperor, was furious. Disrespecting his father, the divine official, was tantamount to disrespecting his father.

"Looking for death? Let's see who dies then!"

Liu Chengfeng shouted loudly, his brows furrowed in a cold stare.

He and the Tiankui Divine Kingdom have long been irreconcilable enemies, and given the chance, he will definitely kill the War Emperor's son.

"Don't think that just because there are rules protecting you, no one will dare to kill you."

Zhu Daoyu's gaze was chilling, his imperial aura soaring like a rainbow, piercing through the sky.

Before the imperial palace stood a dense array of golden-armored soldiers, their shouts echoing with a murderous aura that surged towards Liu Chengfeng.

Su Nianyu gave a cold shout, her spear thrusting forth with a powerful and majestic display of force, resembling the cries of dragons and phoenixes.

The gun hasn't been drawn yet, but the power of a fourth-tier superior divine weapon is extraordinary.

At this moment, the sword intent was like a sea, breaking through the spear's momentum, dispersing the crowd's power, and calming the killing intent. Everyone felt as if a giant mountain was pressing down on them, and their bodies bent over.

The War Emperor Divine Official made his move; neither his person nor his sword could be seen, only his sword intent, yet it defeated everyone present.

"Priest--"

Everyone was shocked; he was so powerful, no wonder he was a priest!
"Please come up, young master."

The priest gave the order in a melodious and pleasant voice, soft and gentle.

Upon hearing the sound, Liu Chengfeng was deeply shaken, and a thousand thoughts flashed through his mind.

"What--"

Everyone present gasped in disbelief, their eyes wide with astonishment.

Xiao Hanye, Xia Fengyu, and the others looked at Liu Chengfeng with envy and jealousy.

Many people longed to see the priest but could not, so what an honor it was for him that the priest suddenly summoned him.

The ancient goddess Ye Qingzhi's eyes flashed with a cold light.

This goddess of the divine realm, a first-level deity, is a genius with the potential to become a main god in the future. Even meeting a high-ranking official is not easy for her.

Now, however, the high priest had taken the initiative to summon him. The Heavenly Prince's face darkened; even as the son of the chief god, it wasn't easy for him to see a high priest!

With his mind in a daze, Liu Chengfeng ascended the divine pavilion to meet the priest.

Inside the shrine, a priest stood before her. She dismissed those around her and looked at Liu Chengfeng with a smile.

"Do you want to see me that much?"

The priestess was noble and beautiful, with captivating cold eyes, her light dress like mist, her figure graceful and voluptuous, her bare feet and toes exuding a delicate fragrance.

War Emperor Divine Official Yu Huanrui!
"I wanted to see my sister, but I didn't expect it to be in this way."

Liu Chengfeng took a deep breath and looked at Yu Huanrui, who was the War Emperor's Divine Official.

Unexpected yet predictable, Liu Chengfeng had doubts in his heart, and also had many things he wanted to say to her.

"How come I didn't know you could forge swords?"

In front of Liu Chengfeng, Yu Huanrui was relaxed and at ease, revealing a joyful smile that was both beautiful and aloof.

"I'm a treasure boy, and my sister should really explore me."

Liu Chengfeng laughed heartily, exuding a bold and domineering air, completely at ease.

"You said it, and I hope so."

Yu Huanrui's cold eyes were like crescent moons, containing a smile.

After everyone waited, the priest finally announced that the Undying Emperor Flame Spear would be entrusted to Liu Chengfeng for forging.

In reality, it was all just for show, going through the motions, and putting on a show for others; Yu Huanrui had already made up her mind.

The announcement caused an uproar; no one could believe their ears.

"How is that possible? Wasn't he supposed to be refining three times? How could he possibly be refining a divine artifact?"

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, unable to believe it. They couldn't understand why the priest would choose a master swordsmith; it was simply outrageous.

"This, this is too rash."

The Heavenly Prince's expression changed drastically. He dared not question the divine official, but he was still dissatisfied, after all, this was his father's weapon.

"Why was this kid chosen? We need to give an explanation. We've come from hundreds of millions of miles away."

Several fourth-grade high-level swordsmiths were also dissatisfied.

Whether they can master the skills is one thing, but they cannot be overshadowed or outshone by an unknown junior.

"Because you're all weaklings and can't succeed, I'll have to do it."

Liu Chengfeng stepped forward and engaged in a verbal battle with the assembled experts.

"Such arrogance! You think you can even forge a low-grade divine artifact?"

Xiao Hanye sneered and shouted.

"Oh, how dare you say that? You didn't even manage to lock up a single mine, and you've already blew up two low-grade refineries. Aren't you ashamed?"

When it comes to verbal battles, when has Liu Chengfeng ever lost?

"you--"

Xiao Hanye was so angry that he vomited blood and glared at Liu Chengfeng, but Liu Chengfeng's words hit him where it hurt.

"Three refinements can lock in the ore, but cannot refine divine artifacts."

Xia Fengyu was dissatisfied but dared not question the priest, yet he was impolite to Liu Chengfeng.

"We dare not interfere with the priest's decision, for fear that this person is a fraudster..."

The goddess of ancient Shun looked down on Liu Chengfeng with aloofness, completely disapproving of his ability to forge divine artifacts.

"Forget it, stop pretending to be a brilliant and resourceful genius. You're just a big-breasted, brainless good-for-nothing."

"Starting from the same point, the neighboring Fuguang Kingdom was able to exchange twenty mineral veins from me, and you? What a failure!"

Liu Chengfeng interrupted the goddess Gu Shun with disdain.

The Divine Kingdom of Fuguang remained silent, since they were the biggest winners anyway, and would sit back and watch the tigers fight.

"you wanna die--"

When had the goddess of ancient Shun ever been so humiliated? The blade flashed, and she slashed straight at Liu Chengfeng.

With a light sweep of sword intent, the blade's edge shattered, and the Ancient Goddess Shun was sent flying, her face turning deathly pale.

"The rules of the Sword Pavilion cannot be broken."

Yu Huanrui did not show her face, but her divine power was awe-inspiring.

"If Your Highness commits another offense, you will be expelled and disqualified."

Even the gentle Wei Rourou got angry, showing a rare display of her assertiveness.

The three great divine kingdoms are quick to kill and show great contempt for the rules of their Sword Pavilion. This time, Wei Rourou was truly enraged.

The goddess Gu Shun's face flushed red and then turned pale. She dared not say anything more, and glared fiercely at Liu Chengfeng.

Today's humiliation is all caused by Liu Chengfeng.

"With mere three refinements, what qualifications do you have to forge a divine weapon..."

Xia Fengyu avenged the goddess of ancient Shun to show his love.

"Anyone who can cause explosions even when refining low-grade weapons has no right to speak here. Shut up."

Liu Chengfeng rudely interrupted him and scolded him.

"Don't be so arrogant, brat. I can at least forge a low-grade divine artifact. Can you?"

Xia Fengyu's face flushed red, and he glared angrily, his killing intent intense.

If it weren't for the rules and regulations of the Sword Pavilion, anyone who dared to humiliate him like this should be executed.

"You take yourself too seriously. You've refined your skills like drinking water. What's there to be proud of?"

Liu Chengfeng scoffed.

"Such arrogance! If you're so capable, then try and refine it yourself. If you can't, then get lost."

Xiao Hanye also sneered and rebuked.

"That's right, if you're so capable, you should forge a third-tier divine artifact yourself."

Other swordsmiths were dissatisfied and spoke out one after another.

"If you're so capable, why don't you try it yourself!"

Xia Fengyu finally had a chance to vent his anger and roared.

"Who do you think you are, to think you can just decide to refine it?"

Liu Chengfeng sneered and looked down at him.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to refine it; you'll only embarrass yourself."

Xia Fengyu's gaze turned sinister, and he sneered.

"What if I could refine it? Would I risk your dog's life?"

Liu Chengfeng scoffed.

"What if you can't refine it?"

Xiao Hanye didn't believe it and resorted to coercion.

"I'll bet my life, would you dare?"

Liu Chengfeng laughed loudly, looking down at the assembled heroes.

Such confidence and arrogance sent a chill down Xia Fengyu and Xiao Hanye's spines.

"Do you dare?"

Liu Chengfeng looked down at them.

Xiao Hanye and Xia Fengyu were both momentarily speechless.

Better safe than sorry. Liu Chengfeng's heroic act of locking up the sacrificial site left a shadow in their hearts.

"The so-called geniuses of the Divine Dynasty are nothing but cowards."

Liu Chengfeng scoffed.

"Brother Liu, your skills have opened the eyes of the world. Let's set aside the matter of life and death here and find another way."

Wei Rourou lightly clipped her hair.
