I can receive unlimited protection; my parents handed me over to the state.

The moment that enormous piece of Titan Iron, which resembled a small mountain, was thrown into the Qiankun Creation Furnace.

The entire "Divine Craftsman Palace" trembled violently!

"boom--!"

The golden "Creation Fire" surged instantly, as if it had encountered the most delicious fuel, and completely devoured the dark golden divine iron.

However, what is shocking is...

Even the terrifying flames like "Creation God Fire," which can burn even space itself, seemed somewhat powerless when facing "Titan Iron."

The divine iron, when exposed to flames, only showed a slight reddish tinge on its surface, without even a trace of melting.

"As expected, it is the exclusive divine metal used by the Titans to forge weapons."

Seeing this scene, Lu Yuan showed no surprise whatsoever; instead, he revealed a hint of excitement.

The more "unruly" a material is, the greater its potential!

The more powerful the weapon is, the better!

"Flames alone won't do."

Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed, and his immense spiritual power, like two invisible hands, instantly reached into the furnace.

But this time, he wasn't going to "appease" or "integrate".

Instead, go and "knock on" them!

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The invisible spiritual force transformed into two massive hammers, each weighing tens of thousands of kilograms!

A divine thunderbolt from the heavens, bound to destroy everything!

A weapon that embodies the extreme cold and frost that freezes everything!

Lightning and ice, two completely opposite yet equally domineering forces, were under his control, striking the Titan Iron like a raging storm!

Each strike caused the entire [Heaven and Earth Creation Furnace] to emit a muffled roar.

Each roar caused the indestructible divine iron to tremble slightly.

This is the new forging technique that Lu Yuan learned from Tang Long and Yan Ji.

Integrate their "momentum" and "intention" into your own spiritual power, and use the purest and most violent force to subdue those unruly top-tier materials!

This process is extremely taxing on mental energy.

But the results are also obvious.

After undergoing tens of thousands of hammerings of lightning and ice.

The incredibly hard Titan Iron finally began to show signs of melting.

Its dark golden surface gradually softened, like a candle, slowly dripping drops of golden divine liquid containing terrifying power.

"Now!"

Seizing the opportunity, Lu Yuan unhesitatingly threw the [Thunderous White Tiger Bone], which had already been decomposed into bone powder, along with dozens of other auxiliary materials, into the furnace!

"boom--!"

The power of lightning and ice clashed violently with the domineering power of Titan Iron in an instant!

The entire furnace began to tremble violently, as if it might explode at any moment!

"Want the oven to explode?"

Lu Yuan snorted coldly, and activated the [Blessing of All Things] talent once again!

An undeniable, domineering will descended instantly!

"Give it to me, melt it!"

……

Just as Lu Yuan was carrying out an earth-shattering forging in the "Divine Craftsman Palace".

In the North, outside the T-03 forward position, in a twisted jungle heavily polluted by void energy.

Gu Tianye and Xiang Batian were back to back, panting heavily.

Their bodies were covered with wounds of all sizes, and their combat uniforms were tattered, making them look extremely disheveled.

Around them lay a dozen or so strangely shaped corpses of void creatures.

These void creatures were all above level 35, and there was even one elite at level 40.

"Damn it... these monstrous things, how... how can I kill them all..."

Gu Tianye plopped down on the ground, took out a bottle of healing potion from his storage ring, and drank it down like water.

"We've only been here for less than three hours, and we've almost run out of supplies."

"Scared?" Xiang Batian glanced at him. Although he was also exhausted, he still refused to admit defeat. "If you're scared, then hurry up and go back. Don't stay here and hold me back."

"Bullshit! Who the hell is afraid!" Gu Tian-ye glared and was about to jump up to argue with him.

"Alright, let's all keep quiet."

Lin Ziling, standing to the side, cast healing spells to restore their injuries while frowning and saying, "We've gone too far into the contaminated zone. The number and strength of the void creatures here have exceeded our expectations. I suggest we retreat to the safe zone and rest before making any further moves."

"Withdraw? Why withdraw?" Gu Tianye protested. "What did we come in for? We came to find materials for Master Lu! If we go back empty-handed, how can we face Master Lu?"

"That's right!" Xiang Batian, unusually, stood on the same side as Gu Tianye. "If we don't find a piece of material that satisfies Master Lu, I will die here today, but I will never back down!"

The two exchanged a glance, and in each other's eyes they saw that same madness—a willingness to do anything for the "divine artifact."

"You two are crazy..." Lin Ziling looked at the two guys who had completely "gone mad" and shook her head helplessly.

Just then.

Ye Cang, who had been watching his surroundings from the side, suddenly spoke up.

"Something's coming."

His voice was cold and brief.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines and immediately stood up, assuming a fighting stance.

Not far away, deep in the twisted jungle.

A rustling sound, chilling to the bone, came rapidly from afar.

Immediately afterwards, an enormous centipede, seemingly pieced together from countless bones and flesh, slowly crawled out of the darkness!

The centipede was over thirty meters long and its body was covered with dense, pale white, sharp bony spurs.

Each of its segments is a massive bone blade, gleaming with a cold light.

On its ferocious head, there was a bizarre face that looked exactly like a human baby!

The baby's face was facing them, revealing an innocent yet wicked smile.

[Skeleton Demon Infant (Mutated Lord-level Star Beast)]

[Level: 55]

[Characteristics: Void Anomaly, Bone Regeneration, Mental Pollution]

【weakness:? ? ? 】

Upon seeing the monster's level and attributes, everyone present turned deathly pale.

Level 55!

Mutant Lord!

Is this something that these "students," whose average level is less than 45, can possibly handle?

This is practically suicide!

"Retreat! Retreat now!"

Lin Ziling was the first to react. She made a quick decision and immediately shouted loudly to everyone.

However, it was too late.

That "skeleton demon infant," with its eerie baby face and open mouth.

An invisible, chaotic, and frenzied mental shockwave instantly swept across the entire area!

"ah--!"

Apart from Ye Cang and Mu Bingli, who have relatively strong willpower and can barely stand up.

Gu Tianye, Xiang Batian, Lin Ziling, and the others instantly clutched their heads and let out painful screams.

It was as if ten thousand red-hot steel needles had been stuffed into their minds, stirring them wildly, and all sorts of bloody, terrifying, and insane hallucinations surged up like a tide.

"It's over..."

Lin Ziling's consciousness began to blur.

She knew she was about to give up.

Once their mental defenses are completely destroyed.

All that awaited them was the tragic fate of being slowly devoured, bite by bite, by this monster, like a snack.

……

Inside the "Divine Craftsman Palace".

Lu Yuan was completely focused on controlling the two types of divine metal liquid that had already begun to fuse within the furnace.

On the left is a mass of dark golden liquid, primarily composed of Titan Iron, but also incorporating dozens of other power-type materials.

On the right is a blood-blue liquid, primarily composed of the [Thunderous White Tiger Bone] and the [Berserk Blood Demon Ape Heart Crystal], fused with dozens of other agility and berserk-type materials.

Now, what he needs to do is to mold these two lumps of liquid with completely opposite properties into the prototypes of two battle axes.

This process requires extremely precise and meticulous control.

The slightest carelessness could lead to the collapse of the material's energy structure.

Lu Yuan held his breath, and his mental energy transformed into countless energy threads, finer than a strand of hair.

Little by little, they meticulously sculpted the two clumps of divine golden liquid.

Time, second by second, was passing by.

I don't know how much time passed.

Two giant battle axes, similar in shape but with completely different auras, finally took shape slowly in the furnace!

The one on the left is dark gold all over, with a thick axe body, full of domineering power, as if it could split mountains in two with one swing.

The one on the right is entirely blood blue, with a thin blade, exuding an aura of bloodlust and rage, as if it could cleave through time and space with a single axe blow.

"The basic structure is complete. Next, the final blessing."

Looking at the two pieces before him, which were nothing short of perfect works of art, Lu Yuan smiled with satisfaction.

He stretched out his hands, ready to infuse these two divine weapons, soon to be born, with a true soul.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and his boundless spiritual power surged into the [Heaven and Earth Creation Furnace] like a river bursting its banks.

His consciousness seemed to split in two at that moment.

Half of it was immersed in the prototype of that dark gold, heavy as a mountain.

The other half is closely connected to the prototype of that blood-blue, agile, and bloodthirsty battle axe.

"Xiang Batian's [Taitan bloodline] pursues the purest and most extreme power and defense. His weapon requires 'momentum,' an absolute 'momentum' that can overcome all techniques with sheer force and is impervious to all attacks!"

In Lu Yuan's mind, all the data about Xiang Batian instantly surfaced.

"First layer of protection—[Titan's Grip]!"

As he silently chanted in his heart, an ancient and savage "source of power" rule originating from the deepest part of the [Titan Iron] was forcibly activated by him, and then fiercely imprinted on the dark golden battle axe!

Om-!

The dark gold battle axe emitted a deep, muffled roar, and the strange patterns on its blade, resembling muscle fibers, instantly lit up, as if they had come to life!

[Cure successful!]

[Trait: Titan's Grip (Passive/Active). Passive effect: The weapon cannot be destroyed or seized by any means. Active activation: Allows the weapon to be thrown for a locked-on attack, and can be recalled at any time.]

"Not enough!"

Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he once again activated the power of the rules.

"Second layer of protection—[Earth Barrier]!"

A heavy, profound, and protective force, like that of Mother Earth, was extracted from the "World Tree Origin Energy" of the furnace, transforming into an earth-yellow rune that merged into the axe.

[Cure successful!]

[Special Feature: Earth Barrier (Active). When activated, it forms an absolute defensive shield around the user, capable of absorbing massive amounts of physical and energy damage. The shield's strength is related to the user's own power and affinity with the earth element.]

"Attack, defense, control... this [Heaven-Opening] weapon is complete."

Lu Yuan named this dark gold battle axe.

After doing all this, his consciousness immediately turned to another weapon, a blood-blue battle axe.

"The core of Gu Tianye's [Beast God Bloodline] lies in 'fusion' and 'evolution.' His weapon cannot be fixed; it must be 'alive'! It needs to be able to bear his ever-changing beast soul power!"

"First layer of protection—[Soul of All Beasts]!"

Lu Yuan used his [Blessing of All Things] talent to forcibly knead the purified "Origin of Frenzied Blood" with the "Thunder and Ice Soul" of the "Thunderous White Tiger" and the "Residual Soul Power" contained in dozens of other star beast materials, forming a chaotic rune composed of countless beast shadows!

Then, the rune was imprinted onto the blade of the blood-blue battle axe!

[Cure successful!]

【Special Feature: Soul of Beasts (Passive/Active). Passive Effect: This weapon can absorb the power of the star beast bloodline fused with the user, undergoing self-evolution and form simulation. Active Activation: Consumes beast soul power to unleash the ultimate skill of the corresponding star beast.】

"Almost there..."

Lu Yuan looked at those few, noting the circular grooves he had deliberately left on the axe blades.

"Second layer of protection—[Beast Soul Synchronization]!"

He transformed his spiritual power into the finest carving knife, carving intricate energy conduction circuits inside those grooves.

[Cure successful!]

[Special Feature: Beast Soul Synchronization (Passive). When a 'Beast Soul Core' is inlaid in the weapon's slot, the weapon will perfectly resonate with the user's bloodline. The user can not only unleash the full power of that bloodline, but can even undergo incomplete 'Beast God Transformation' for a short period!]

"【Thousand Changes】, it's done."

When Lu Yuan completed this final step, he felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and a series of sharp, needle-like pains shooting through his brain.

Forging two epic weapons simultaneously, each imbued with a double "blessing" rule, would be an extremely terrifying burden, even for someone with his current massive mental strength of 265 points.

"call……"

He suppressed the dizziness in his mind and slowly withdrew his mental energy.

"Clang—!!"

"roar--!!"

Just as he withdrew his spiritual power, two distinct yet equally majestic clangs of weapons erupted from within the [Heaven and Earth Creation Furnace]!

The sound was like the clash of metal, a sound that seemed to split the heavens and the earth!

The other sound was a primal roar, as if it had gathered together thousands of ferocious beasts!

Two terrifyingly powerful forces of weaponry shot into the sky from the furnace!

A force, domineering and unparalleled, as heavy as a mountain!

A force, bloodthirsty and violent, ever-changing!

The two forces collided and clashed wildly within the confined space of the furnace, like two ferocious beasts emerging from the ancient wilderness, engaging in the most primal struggle for the throne!

The entire [Heaven and Earth Creation Furnace] emitted a mournful "humming" sound under this terrifying collision, and even tiny cracks appeared on the furnace wall!

"not good!"

Lu Yuan's expression changed.

He never expected that the "weapon spirits" of these two weapons would be so "unruly," wanting to compete for superiority as soon as they were born!

If this continues, before they even come out of the furnace, these two divine weapons will have already "bumped" themselves into pieces!

"These two little rascals, trying to rebel the moment they're born?"

A cold glint flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes, and an unparalleled will belonging to the "Divine Craftsman," even more terrifying and domineering than the two "weapon spirits" combined, instantly descended!

"All of you, behave yourselves!"

That will, like a decree from the creator god, instantly suppressed the two "weapon spirits" that were still clashing fiercely!

The two divine axes, as if they had encountered their natural enemy, instantly fell silent, obediently hovering in the furnace, no longer daring to make the slightest move.

"Hmph, that's a good boy."

Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction, and then opened the furnace door.

Two streaks of light, one gold and one blue, shot out from the furnace and landed steadily in his hand.

In his left hand was the heavy and domineering [Heaven-Opening Sword].

In his right hand was the nimble yet ferocious [Thousand Changes].

He felt the surging power emanating from the two divine axes, a power that resonated with his own will.
