How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 176 - 0173 Ace

Chapter 176: Chapter 0173: Ace Chapter 176 -0173: Ace Chen Yu reached out and grabbed a black javelin, weighing at least five hundred jin, feeling a hint of cold metal.

“These three javelins, although they are middle-grade treasures, their hardness and toughness are comparable to high-grade treasures.”

“On the tip of the spear, a bit of Golden Cloud Stone is added to increase its sharpness, making it easier to pierce armor and penetrate the layer of True Qi.

More Golden Cloud Stone is reserved for refining the Dark Snake Sword…”

Master Gu explained.

Yet, Chen Yu, holding both ends of the javelin, had a fierce look in his eyes as he exerted his strength vigorously.

Buzz!

Chen Yu took the Copper Statue Technique to its limit, his heart accumulating a bit of power.

Squeak!

Under the terrifying power, the black javelin showed a slight bend, causing Master Gu to secretly break into a cold sweat.

“The hardness and toughness are both outstanding.”

Chen Yu was very satisfied with the material and toughness of the javelin.

Javelins and long spears, being too rigid is not appropriate.

Because the attack of these weapons often does not follow a straight path.

Only with a certain resilience while being rigid, can they exert maximum power during launching.

Humming!

Chen Yu infused the inner breath and Cloud Evil True Qi into the javelin, which gave off a layer of murky black light patterns, and the tip of the spear flashed with a hint of golden sharp light.

Eh?

Chen Yu was greatly surprised, feeling the inner breath and True Qi as if pouring into a bottomless pit.

“Hehe, these three javelins have almost reached the quality of fine middle-grade treasures; especially the penetration power of the spear tip, it can penetrate some high-grade armor not infused with True Qi in one shot.”

Master Gu showed a pleased expression.

Go!

Chen Yu swung forcefully, the murky shadow of the spear adorned with a strand of cold golden light, suddenly covering a distance of twenty or thirty meters.

Puff-bang!

The javelin pierced a small hill forty meters away, the entire shaft penetrating it, followed by a cracking roar and dust flying.

Master Gu slightly widened his eyes, staring dumbfounded at the nearly shattered little hill.

I’m afraid.

The power of this single strike from Chen Yu’s javelin was such that even ordinary Postnatal Qi Transformation warriors might not be able to withstand it.

“Ts-ts, after integrating Cloud Evil True Qi, the power of these middle-grade treasures is really something else.”

Chen Yu had a smile on his face.

He walked unhurriedly to the hill, and extracted the javelin.

After verifying the three javelins,

For the next two days,

Chen Yu and Master Gu together began refining another weapon—the Xuan Heavy Sword.

The Xuan Heavy Sword was large and required a lot of materials,

However,

Chen Yu’s demand was only for a fine middle-grade treasure.

With such an ample supply of precious ores, it would be difficult for Master Gu to fail, even if he was not in his best state.

Moreover, Master Gu had gradually gotten into a good rhythm after making the javelins.

In less than two days,

The freshly refined Xuan Heavy Sword was completed.

Still with a dark silver blade, it was thicker than before, with some intricate, ancient inscriptions added to the back of the blade and a layer of sharp, gleaming cold edge on the blade.

“This sword crushes by weight.

I have fused it with more than a dozen Artifact Refining ores, comprehensively enhancing its hardness and greatly increasing the attack strength of the True Qi and inner breath.”

Master Gu said expressionlessly.

The refining of the Xuan Heavy Sword didn’t involve much trickery.

It was simply, largely a matter of “piling up materials,” aiming for something heavier, stronger, with overwhelming force.

“This sword is just a bit shy of being a high-grade treasure.

Its materials and hardness are completely comparable to those of regular high-grade treasures.

Hehe, it’s the first time I’ve been so extravagant in artifact refining…”

Master Gu chuckled oddly.

If the same value of materials were used, it would be entirely possible to refine a high-grade treasure with normal volume and weight.

But Chen Yu’s requirement was to enhance it to a fine middle-grade.

It couldn’t overstep.

If the Xuan Heavy Sword were refined as a high-grade treasure, it would consume too much True Qi, making it unsuitable for Chen Yu.

This sword was essentially customized for Chen Yu’s strength advantage.

In his hands, this heavy sword was more handy than the average high-grade treasure, and would not fall behind even when used at the Qi Transformation Innate level.

…

The first two weapons were successfully forged and refined smoothly.

Next up was the last one.

The enhancement and refining of the Dark Snake Sword, Chen Yu demanded it to reach the level of high-grade treasure.

For Master Gu, a high-grade treasure was the limit of what artifact refiners of his level could achieve in their lifetime, rarely completing a few.

On one hand, it was the bottleneck in refining skills.

A true Artifact Refiner not only needs to be proficient in the fusion of materials but also has to understand the “inscriptions” of the weapons, allowing them to manifest extraordinary abilities and effects.

On the other hand, it was the limitation of materials.

In the land of Chu Country, various resources and materials were relatively scarce, especially lacking in high-grade precious materials.

Some high-grade refining materials even contain natural inscriptions, also known as “Dao patterns,” inherently possessing certain extraordinary abilities and characteristics.

This means,

If the refining materials are good enough, even if the skills of the Artifact Refiner are slightly lacking, high-grade treasures can still be crafted.

Currently,

What lay before Master Gu was a rare opportunity.

A large batch of precious refining materials like the Five Hundred Years of Yin Corrosion Bamboo, Black Mysterious Crystal, Golden Cloud Stone, and Moon Spirit Ore was presented.

To have two or three of these high-level materials in the past would have been good enough for crafting high-grade treasures.

Furthermore,

Chen Yu had also brought out mythical materials like the Xuan Yin Crystal Stone and mutated Peacock Stone, though only in very small quantities.

But the weapon to be refined was just a short sword.

Master Gu suppressed the excitement and thrill in his heart.

This was the most “luxurious” material list he had faced in his artifact-refining career.

Over the following several days,

Chen Yu assisted Master Gu in meticulously crafting and recasting the Dark Snake Sword in the furnace.

Three or four days later,

Buzz!

A deep and profound sound of a sword cry emanated from the refining room, not exactly pleasant to the ear, but it possessed a mysterious and cold intention.

“It’s done!”

Master Gu held a short sword about a foot long, slightly curved, and nearly translucent.

Its delicate inscriptions resembled the natural patterns of snake skin.

At first glance,

It looked like a jade artwork of a snake.

Chen Yu reached out to grasp it and felt that the sword was much heavier than he had anticipated, weighing around two to three hundred pounds.

Of course,

Two to three hundred pounds was still light as a feather for him.

This was because Master Gu, considering his strength, had slightly increased the sword’s weight in its design.

Normally, such short swords, used mainly for close-range assassinations, were designed to be as light as possible to reduce weight.

“Master Gu, what grade has this sword achieved?”

Chen Yu held the sword and gently swung it, feeling as if the wind left no trace.

Almost no sound was heard.

“This sword can amplify the attack speed by more than sixty percent, and it maintains its silent and highly poisonous characteristics.

Its power amplification and sharpness are both considered ‘kingly’ among high-grade treasures.”

Master Gu stated.

High-grade and kingly?

Chen Yu was astonished and gently touched the art-like Dark Snake Sword.

He infused some internal breath and True Qi into it, but it was like pouring into a bottomless pit, instantly absorbed by the sword.

The speed at which this sword conducted True Qi was terrifying.

The True Qi inside Chen Yu was insufficient to support even two or three swings of this sword; this was even considering the fact that the sword’s consumption was much smaller due to its short length.

Shh!

A sword arc as thin as a hair, accompanied by a trace of dark golden edge, swept across the void.

So fast!

Chen Yu was shocked, feeling as if the sword light arrived before the sword even moved.

Swoosh!

Inside the artifact-refining room, a two-foot-thick wall cracked open with a neat and smooth fracture that spread to the top of the wall, rendering the array reinforcements practically useless.

“Stop!”

Master Gu roared as he watched the wall in front of him get split in half with a “boom”.

If Chen Yu had swung this sword from outside the artifact-refining room,

Then the entire room would have been cleaved in two like a piece of tofu.

“Not bad, not bad…”

Chen Yu burst out laughing, extremely pleased!

Looking at his own greatest “masterpiece,” Master Gu sighed deeply and decided not to settle accounts with Chen Yu.

You see,

The material of this artifact-refining room was very special, and it was reinforced by arrays, making it difficult to quickly destroy a normal Postnatal Qi Transformation.

“Chen Yu, this sword is just a bit short of becoming a top-tier treasure.

However, during the night, its power can increase by thirty to forty percent, almost rivaling a top-tier treasure.

Consider it an incomplete top-tier treasure.”

Master Gu said with a slight regret.

The slight shortfall was not due to the quality of the material.

But because he had encountered a bottleneck in his artifact-refining technique, just missing that final touch.

“No matter, no matter!”

Chen Yu laughed heartily.

If it were a real top-tier treasure, probably only those at the Qi Transformation Innate level could support this sword.

Master Gu couldn’t help but shake his head.

From a professional perspective,

Chen Yu’s creation and refinement of these three weapons were quite the “splurge”.

However,

Creating this high-grade kingly treasure had broken a record in Master Gu’s lifetime.

“Master Gu, take these leftover artifact-refining materials as a form of payment.”

Chen Yu generously waved his hand.

Using leftover materials…

as payment?

If it were anyone else, Master Gu would probably have slapped them.

However,

This time was different; Master Gu wore a pleased expression and carefully stored the remaining materials.

If used well,

These leftover materials, together with some slightly inferior main materials, had the potential to create a fine middle-grade treasure.

Before leaving,

Chen Yu spoke up, “Master Gu, I have one last request.”

“Speak,” Master Gu gestured.

“I hope you can help conceal this new ‘Dark Snake Sword’.”

Chen Yu stated earnestly.

The lethality of this sword was unquestionably his trump card.

“This is only right; I’ve heard faintly about your recent encounters in the sects of Chu Country.”

Master Gu nodded.

Chen Yu’s contribution of substantial materials allowed him to reach a rare height in artifact-refining, plus the extra leftover materials, was indeed rare.

Not long after Chen Yu left,

An elderly man with the appearance of a youthful teenager floated in.

It was none other than the Chu Family Ancestor.

“Has the young man left?” the Chu Family Ancestor asked.

He looked towards the nearby collapsed hill and the crack inside the artifact-refining room, his expression turning stern.

“He’s gone.”

Master Gu kept his face expressionless.

“This young man brought out astonishing resources from the Blood Burial Garden; what kind of treasures did you end up creating for him?”

The Chu Family Ancestor asked with a look of astonishment.

“A treasure that would leave you completely defenseless,”

Master Gu hummed lowly, not specifying the level or capabilities of the treasure.

Completely defenseless?

The Chu Family Ancestor was shocked; he was a long-established Martial Arts master in the Qi Transformation Realm, renowned far and wide.

“Old Man Chu, you advised me not to get too involved with him, but I feel this person is no ordinary individual.

Once he survives this ordeal and transforms, you may not even have the chance to curry favor with him…”

Master Gu chuckled.

“Impossible!”

The Chu Family Ancestor shook his head, certain: “Lv Tiezu, I know him well, he is very domineering.
