Chapter 154 Your Heavenly Tribulation is Too Fake!
"Yuhao! This—is this ruler finished?" Lin Xiuya's voice trembled with disbelief as he pointed at the giant gray ruler that was floating in mid-air and whose aura was constantly rising.
The "heavy" will it exuded grew stronger and stronger, making the surrounding air thick and stagnant, and Lin Xiuya and the others even had some difficulty breathing.
Huo Yuhao's gaze was fixed on the ruler, sensing the rhythm of energy within it: "Probably—we'll have to wait a little longer."
Time ticked by. Suddenly, the "breathing" frequency of the giant gray ruler accelerated dramatically! Three spiritual runes on the ruler's surface erupted with dazzling earthy light! An invisible barrier seemed to have shattered!
boom-!!!
The primordial energy of heaven and earth, several times more intense than before, seemed to be summoned, frantically converging from all directions to form a visible energy vortex, continuously pouring into the ruler's body!
As if the gravity of the entire weapon-forging site had suddenly increased, the ground groaned under the strain and sank deeper into the earth.
This frenzied devouring lasted only a few moments before abruptly stopping.
hum!
The ruler emitted a deep, satisfied hum. The previously rising, heart-pounding "heavy" will suddenly subsided, as if it had completed some kind of transformation.
Although it was still slowly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the obvious sense of improvement had disappeared.
It exuded a calm, profound, and earth-like aura. Its presence was a level above its initial state! Like a cultivator breaking through a new realm!
A silver glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes as he slowly reached out and grasped the ruler's handle.
It felt cool to the touch, and at the core of the ruler, he clearly sensed a pure, infantile fluctuation of will.
This consciousness was very weak and vague, consisting only of an instinctive craving for energy.
At that moment, a sudden change occurred!
The once clear sky was suddenly shrouded in rolling dark clouds! The heavy clouds pressed down like lead, and a deep rumble of thunder brewed deep within them. A chilling pressure from heaven and earth suddenly descended, locking onto the giant ruler below!
"What is this?!" Lin Xiuya and the others' expressions changed drastically as they felt the overwhelming pressure emanating from heaven and earth, and instinctively activated their battle qi to protect themselves.
Huo Yuhao looked up at the sky, a knowing glint in his silver eyes: "It's a heavenly tribulation. Only after we overcome it will this spiritual artifact be truly complete."
Then, Huo Yuhao released his grip. The gray behemoth naturally floated up into the air, as if it were preparing to confront the heavenly tribulation.
Within the spiritual world, the sphere of light from the Guardian Mirror finally rolled back from the corner. Looking at the oppressive scene, it spoke with deep bewilderment: "Is this really necessary? Although a life force has been born, the power of this ruler itself is at most a high-grade spiritual artifact. It's not even worth a ripple in the vast world—"
Just as it was wondering, a thick silver bolt of lightning tore through the dark clouds, carrying a destructive aura, and ruthlessly struck the suspended gray giant ruler!
Huo Yuhao stood still, showing no intention of making a move to defend himself!
"Huo boy! What are you doing?!" The Guardian Mirror screamed, its light sphere deforming in fright, "Quickly protect it! This lightning tribulation isn't particularly powerful, but if it strikes you squarely, your newly born artifact spirit and your magical weapon will both be destroyed!"
Huo Yuhao, however, said matter-of-factly, "Since it brought this tribulation upon itself, it naturally needs to overcome it on its own."
"What the hell?!" The Guardian Mirror was completely dumbfounded: "It'll undergo its own tribulation? Why don't you just say let the baby give birth to itself?!"
The Ice Flame Phoenix flew indifferently to the side of the Guardian Mirror, flapping its wings to soothe the startled ball of light.
It kept chattering away. It meant: "Don't worry, I also went through my own tribulations when I was born."
However, what happened next left even the Guardian Mirror speechless.
Boom!
The incredibly powerful silver lightning bolt struck the gray giant ruler squarely!
There was no earth-shattering explosion as expected, no mournful sound of shattering magical artifacts, and not even a wisp of smoke appeared!
The violent lightning power vanished instantly, like a mud ox sinking into the sea! The earthy yellow light flowing over the ruler's body brightened slightly, then returned to normal, as if the heavenly lightning had only tickled it.
The Guardian Mirror remained silent. Although the ruler's properties gave it an advantage when facing lightning tribulations, was it really necessary to be like this?
Until it saw a few streaks of lightning, scattered and splashing, land on the grass below the ruler.
There was no charring, no burning, not even a single blade of grass was scorched! Those few blades of grass swayed gently in the breeze, without a single scorch mark on their tips!
Guardian Mirror:
Huo Yuhao smiled knowingly and nodded slightly to the lingering dark clouds in the sky: "Thanks!"
As if hearing his gratitude, the gathering dark clouds came quickly and went even faster. After just one symbolic lightning strike, the dark clouds quickly dissipated, and the sky returned to clear skies, as if the terrifying pressure had never existed.
The Guardian Mirror said speechlessly, "So what's the use of this lightning tribulation? It's neither a test nor does it temper or energize the spiritual artifact."
Huo Yuhao explained, "It may be the first weapon on the Dou Qi Continent to give birth to a weapon spirit, which is why it needs to undergo the test of heavenly tribulation."
"But for the Dou Qi Continent, its birth is a good thing, as it helps to improve the world's strength, so he won't be too harsh."
The giant gray ruler seemed to have completed some kind of ritual, its body trembling slightly and emitting a pleasant hum.
Like a curious child, it flew lightly around Huo Yuhao and the others present, and finally hovered steadily above Huo Yuhao's head.
The Guardian Mirror instantly bristled: "Hey! It stole my spot!"
In its mental world, whenever it failed to grab Huo Yuhao's shoulder, it would perch on Huo Yuhao's head to comfort itself.
The Iceflame Phoenix glanced at it and let out a slightly mocking cry, its meaning clear: Isn't your true form mirror hanging on Huo Yuhao's hair as an ornament? That's where you belong.
The Guardian Mirror was furious. It wanted to rush out and uphold the dignity of its "predecessor," but its main body and consciousness were not at the refining site, so it could only rage helplessly in the spiritual world.
Huo Yuhao ignored the farce in his mental world, looking at the giant ruler hovering above his head, feeling the intimacy and dependence it conveyed, and was in a great mood.
In the following period, while instructing Lin Xiuya and others on how to condense external battle crystals and how to construct battle crystal veins inside spiritual artifacts, Huo Yuhao also began to refine some spiritual artifacts with different attributes. He experimented with various materials of different properties.
As Huo Yuhao expected, these subsequently crafted spiritual artifacts also successfully developed sentience.
Huo Yuhao even used sixth-grade spirit patterns on some of his spiritual artifacts, which made them as powerful as sixth-grade spiritual artifacts, the same standard as the top-grade spiritual artifacts in the Mirror of Guardians.
However, no other magical artifact attracted a heavenly tribulation.
"As expected, at the fifth and sixth grade levels, the result of refining them wouldn't be enough to trigger a lightning tribulation." Huo Yuhao guessed, "It should be similar to pills; only at the seventh grade would one have to undergo a lightning tribulation."
"Consider these spiritual artifacts as a thank you gift for helping you manage the alliance." Huo Yuhao handed the four newly crafted spiritual artifacts to them.
