The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

Maybe we can find a bargain.

Standing on high, Kikyo felt something and looked up at the sky, where she saw a dignified and gentle-smiling priestess disappear into the world.

"What a lovely girl. She seems like a gentle person as well."

Kikyo looked at the girl who had spoken up beside her with some surprise.

"What's wrong?" Alicia turned her gaze away from the sky and tilted her head.

"No, it's nothing."

Ignoring the miracle card that popped up the moment the Shikon Jewel was destroyed, Chen Li entered forging mode.

……

The sound of blacksmithing continued for a long time in this mountain forest, but the number of monsters gathering near this desolate place only increased. Left with no other choice, Alicia and Kikyo also chose to enter the Miracle Shield.

The sound of the hammer gradually slowed down, until not a single blow fell for several minutes.

At this point, all the demons knew that Chen Li's forging was complete.

A longbow, pure white yet adorned with delicate golden patterns, was placed before Chen Li.

This was one of the rare artifact embryos that Chen Li had created back when he was the Fire-Chasing Moth, and now it was finally being used.

Chen Li was also examining the effects of this strange object.

The Price of Peace: How can peace be achieved? Only through blood for blood, tooth for tooth, and killing to stop killing!

Effect: Only the pure can use this bow. When wielding this longbow, the sins of all people will be laid bare.

① Demon Slayer: When using this weapon to attack enemies, the more sins the enemy has, the higher the damage the arrows will deal. The arrows can also automatically track enemies, relentlessly pursuing them until one is dead. When the opponent is a demon, monster, or evil spirit, the damage is further increased, and the weapon will be inflicted with vulnerability and weakness.

② Soul Slayer: Arrows will have the effect of directly striking the soul. After inflicting a wound on the soul, they will devour the opponent's soul, storing that portion of the soul within the longbow. Pain and despair will serve as the energy source for the weapon. If an enemy is successfully killed, the complete soul can be obtained and, if necessary, released to control the opponent against enemies.

③ Eradicate the root of the problem: Being wounded by an arrow leaves a mark on the cause and effect, permanently displaying the opponent's real-time location. Arrows fired at the opponent will inherit the characteristic of automatic tracking and relentless pursuit. Furthermore, by tracing the cause and effect, all beings related to the opponent can be identified.

④ Ultimate Technique: Moment of Reckoning: Instantly burns all the sinful souls stored within the longbow, clearing away all sins in the surrounding area and delivering an indiscriminate attack. The coverage area of ​​Moment of Reckoning will gradually shrink over time after half of the evil souls have burned away, but killing enemies will increase the duration, coverage area, and arrow power of Moment of Reckoning.

⑤ Passive Effect - Killing: Each time a sinful being is killed, the cost of Reckoning Time is permanently reduced, and the maximum Reckoning Time is increased. The Reckoning Time ends upon completion.

⑥ Passive Effect - Severing Karma: The karma of those killed by arrows dissipates, all regrets are burned away, and they are never reincarnated.

P.S.: Killing is for the sake of protecting life; severing karma is not killing people! Kill! Kill them all! Exterminate your nine generations? No! Exterminate your ten generations! Come, let us recount your sins!

(Miracle: Master, to be honest, even as a corrupted consciousness, I think this thing is too extreme.)

Chapter 27 What is peace? It's killing everyone who deserves to die!

This is an extremely rare item with its Demon-Slaying attribute maxed out.

To create such a powerful weapon, the Miracle Flame alone cost as much as 15 crystals, and Chen Li incorporated a large number of attributes into it.

Of course, the reason why the Miracle Fire costs so much is partly due to the deliberate increase in the brightness of certain attributes to enhance their effects, and partly because some attributes lack clear rules and are expensive to modify.

In order to accommodate so many entries, Chen Li spent another 20 crystals to increase the initial quota of rare items.

In addition, 6 crystals were spent to store 6 more entries: [Merit], [Resurrection], [Dragon], [Omnipotence], [Reincarnation], [Idealism]...

These entries are mostly quite dim; you'll need to use crystals to increase their brightness before you can use them.

Excluding the cost of storing the entries, the forging cost of this artifact is 35 crystals, which is higher than Pale Justice.

Professional experience +35

Oddity Blacksmith: Lv1 (71/100)

The Shikon Jewel is no less powerful than the relics, but the ejection seat and compass hold it back.

The "Tracking" entry is particularly important; Chen Li spent a lot of Miracle Fire to increase its visibility.

You can kill a few monsters, but you can't kill them all.

There's also the [sin] of the ejection seat.

It is also important not to mistakenly kill innocent people.

On the contrary, after thinking for a while, Chen Li did not add the "ejection" function to the ejection seat.

Playing with the longbow in his hand, Chen Li stood inside the Miracle Shield, observing the demons who had formed a circle around him.

"You guys aren't leaving yet?"

"us……"

"Fine. Don't want to leave? Then none of you should leave."

"What do you want to do?"

"I'm too lazy to explain to you, you're not worthy to listen!" Chen Li held the longbow in his left hand and directly plunged his right hand into the Miracle Fire to grab the original character [Demon], which had not yet been transformed by the power of the Miracle.

Since the shrine maiden represents Midori, the demons naturally represent the souls formed by the fusion of countless demons that were extracted from Midori and sealed in the Shikon Jewel.

Chen Li slammed those two words directly onto the Peace Longbow.

Countless demon souls, whose very essence had been almost completely drained, were stored within the Peace Longbow.

The word "demon" was not refined by Chen Li, but most of the entries for the Peace Longbow also came from the Shikon Jewel, so the remaining demon souls were in extremely poor condition.

But what's the problem?

It only needs to be able to initiate the liquidation process.

"Clearance time! Initiate!"

Black flames instantly ignited on the white longbow, turning the original golden markings a dark red and black color.

There was no need to draw the bow and nock the arrow. Chen Li simply placed his hand on the bowstring, which was made of white light, and gently pulled it back. The arrow, made of black and red flames, appeared.

Chen Li didn't study archery for very long, but he could at least draw a bow.

Arrows shot into the sky, and countless demons laughed mockingly at them.

When you shoot an arrow into the sky, who do you want it to fall and kill? You?

But the next moment, the sky turned blood red, and a huge barrier instantly expanded in all directions. Arrows flying into the sky exploded, and countless black and red arrows rained down on the world.

"All demons must die." Chen Li smiled kindly.

The moment of reckoning has its drawbacks. The drawback is that the worse the quality and state of the burning soul, the smaller the range of the indiscriminate attack.

In its current state, the Peace Longbow can only cover a maximum of ten miles.

It sounds far away, but it's actually quite ordinary.

But it doesn't matter. Aren't there so many monsters willing to sacrifice themselves and surrounding Chen Li within a mile?

Those who dared to steal the Shikon Jewel had very high sin values, and since they were all demons, the arrows during the reckoning period slaughtered the surrounding demons like wheat being harvested.

Although there were many powerful demons among them who could resist for a while, as more and more lesser demons died under the arrows, the Soul Slaughter effect was continuously activated, adding fuel to the already extinguishing "flame," greatly increasing the attack radius and arrow power of the Purification Moment, so that even powerful demons would perish here.

Their deaths further amplified the duration and power of the reckoning.

The Miracle Card that was created when Chen Li destroyed the Shikon Jewel also floated quietly beside Chen Li, displaying its effect.

【Soul Breaker】(Miracle Card): Single-handedly caused the Shikon Jewel, which carries the fate of the world, to disappear prematurely, causing ripples in destiny.

Effect 1: You will incur the hostility of all youkai in the world who covet the Shikon Jewel, and they will flock to you for 24 hours. This effect cannot be avoided. However, you will gain merit when you defeat these youkai.

Effect 2: Increases the destructive power of treasures that hold the fate of the world by 1.

Effect 3: Can be used to forge rare items.

This miracle card appeared when Chen Li first started forging it, and its effect 1 was activated at that time. It has been an hour now, and there are still more monsters on their way.

Fortunately, Chen Li specifically chose a remote and deserted place to forge the artifact; otherwise, Kikyo's village would have suffered as well.

And now, the harvest has begun.

"Thank God for this gift." Chen Li clasped his hands together and then drew the bow again.

In an instant, another round of fierce arrows rained down.

This world is far too kind, allowing Chen Li to eat and take things away at the same time.

……

"Looking and looking for friends, I found a good friend... Sigh, there's another living demon here~~" Chen Li blinked, looking curiously at the white dog demon in front of him.

"Waaah..." The other person looked at Chen Li in terror, their fingers trembling but unable to utter a single word.

"Don't be so scared. I've specifically set a suitable range for sin values. I won't kill a good person, but I won't let a bad demon go either. Since you've survived, I won't continue to attack you." Chen Li smiled at the other party.

The maximum sin value can be adjusted during the liquidation phase.

Only those exceeding this sin value limit will be locked by the Peace Longbow.

Demons are not all bad, and humans are not all good.

Chen Li was well aware of this.

However, in the eyes of the other party, Chen Lihe's kind smile was no less than the devil's sneer.

"My name is Chen Li, what's your name?" Chen Li asked, extending his hand to the other person.
