Chapter 68: Refining the Dragon Slaughter

  Lei Hao sat cross-legged in the secret room, carefully pondering every detail of the "Six Products Departure Fire Golden Immortal Formula" regarding alchemy.

  After a long time, after making sure that nothing was forgotten, Lei Hao stretched out his hand and summoned the dragon-slaying sword that had been stored in his body.

  With a "ting" sound, the Dragon Slayer, with its old and worn-out blade like one from an ancient battlefield, emitted a cheerful whirring noise as it revolved around Lei Hao non-stop. After several breaths, it finally stopped in front of Lei Hao, shaking unceasingly like a child showing off to his parents.

  Looking at the cracks on the Dragon Slaying Knife that almost severed it, Lei Hao's heart ached as he stretched out his finger to gently tap its blade, saying softly: "You're so stubborn." His voice was full of helplessness.

  Tulong's innate conditions were too poor, and over the years, he had been following Lei Hao on his southern and northern expeditions. If it weren't for Lei Hao constantly using his magical powers to repair and nourish Tulong, with his original materials, he would have long since broken into a pile of worthless, lifeless scrap iron.

  Even with Raihō's over-a-century-long usage and maintenance, Totsuka-no-Tsurugi still developed some almost irreparable cracks. In how many battles had Raihō worried that Totsuka-no-Tsurugi would not withstand the enemy's blades?

  After going through so many fierce battles, Tuerlong still stood tall, and Leihao could feel that it was relying on a determination to not give up even if it meant being torn apart to accompany Leihao in battle. That feeling was as if, as long as Leihao had not fallen in battle, it would continue to fight alongside him until death.

  "Humming" twice, the knife whizzed and flew onto Lei Hao's body, rubbing against him with force, looking very flattering.

  Lei Hao let out a light sigh, no longer paying attention to it. With a flick of his wide sleeve, several clusters of metal appeared out of thin air, each emitting different colored glows and having unique shapes. Although each cluster was only roughly refined and still in its rough form, they all emitted an unusual aura that was unlike anything ordinary. This aura distorted the surrounding space, causing it to twist and writhe in turmoil.

  "Tianhe refined gold, Shoushan copper, Gang steel..." Lei Hao didn't care about these chaotic spatial flows, turning his head to carefully examine each one. These top-grade materials were all collected by Lei Hao over the years, with the best being these three refining materials. Among them, Tianhe refined gold was a gift from Pengmo Wang, Shoushan copper was a gift from Jiaomo Wang, and Gang steel was a gift from both Jiaomo Wang and Niumo Wang.

  These three are all good treasures that can be met but not sought, and they are also objects that are almost extinct in the world. Only Peng Demon King, Jiao Demon King, and Niu Demon King, these three either were born in the Primordial Chaos or have ancient antiques from the Primordial Chaos era in their families, could have such accumulation. At the time of the great battle at Accumulated Thunder Mountain, when Lei Hao was fighting against Da Shi Zhi Bodhisattva and Pu Xian Bodhisattva, his brothers saw that the blade in Lei Hao's hand was a bit weak. Second brother Jiao Demon King even wanted to give Lei Hao a precious sword, but Lei Hao really couldn't bear to part with Tuer Long, which had accompanied him for so many years, so he politely declined.

  At the time of farewell, all the brothers gave some treasures to Leihou and Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong got the Golden Hoop Rod, and didn't care about other treasures, which all fell into Leihou's pocket.

  Lei Hao looked at the treasures in front of him, and his heart once again flashed back to the scene of the fierce battle with several brothers on Mount Accumulated Thunder.

  "I wonder how Lao Niu is doing now?" Lei Hao thought with some nostalgia.

  A moment later, Tulong's cry awakened Leihao from his meditation.

  As soon as these treasures appeared, Tulong excitedly flew around the secret room. These treasures were strong, but they were all inanimate objects, while Tulong was now somewhat weak, but after all, a spiritual object with a faint soul, just like a domesticated animal, no matter how big it was, it was nothing more than a delicious dish on someone's table.

  The butcher was staring at the delicious food, drooling for half a day, but Lei Hao just stared blankly, ignoring him, and the unsatisfied sword let out a series of hungry hums.

  "Alright, alright, I know you're in a hurry..." Lei Hao glared at Tulong with an impatient look, opening his large hands to reveal a purple flame without any impurities on his palms. The moment the flame appeared, it released a high temperature that burned out a huge black hole in front of Lei Hao, this was Lei Hao's Tianxian-level original flame: Lei Fire.

  After releasing the Thunder Flame, Lei Hao felt that the spiritual power in his body was being consumed at a not slow speed. He didn't dare to slack off and with a movement of his divine sense, the Tianhe Jingjin was thrown into the Thunder Flame. In just a few breaths, the silver sand-like Tianhe Jingjin transformed into a silver, round **.

  Lei Hao's divine consciousness stirred again, and the copper of Shou Mountain flew into the Lei fire. After that, Lei Hao's whole body was filled with the power of Lei fire, and several breaths passed, but the copper of Shou Mountain did not show any signs of melting, even the protruding corners did not have a hint of fusion. Lei Hao thought for a moment, then suddenly increased his magical output, but another incense stick passed, and the copper of Shou Mountain still showed no signs of melting.

  "What's going on?" Lei Hao's face sank, and he withdrew the Shou Shan Tong into his palm. After a careful examination, Lei Hao's divine sense detected that the Shou Shan Tong contained a powerful, majestic, and sharp aura. This aura made Lei Hao secretly shocked, and he felt that if this fist-sized Shou Shan Tong were to explode, the sharp aura inside would annihilate all living beings within a ten-mile radius.

  After a moment of careful consideration, Leihao once again threw the copper of Shou Shan into the Lei fire, and once again infused it with magical energy. However, this time Leihao did not infuse gentle magical energy to maintain the burning of the Lei fire as he had done earlier. Instead, he abnormally infused violent and aggressive magical energy, as if attacking the copper of Shou Shan.

  All that was heard was a muffled sound, and the copper of Shou Mountain suddenly exploded, just like a juicy fruit bursting open. A bright yellow gas burst out from the copper, colliding and about to disperse in all directions. But how could Lei Hao, who had been prepared, let this sharp energy dissipate?

  He casually threw out a few spells to suppress the sharp aura, forcibly injecting it into the Tianhe Jingjin's **, and after tempering with his magical powers for a moment, the Tianhe Jingjin began to change into ancient and simple knife and sword shapes.

  Lei Haotian secretly let out a breath of relief and reached out his hand to grab the tungsten steel, throwing it into the Lei flames.

  With the precedent of the copper of the first mountain, Lei Hao had some mental preparation for the difficult-to-chew bone of Gang Steel, but when Gang Steel was thrown into the thunder fire, Lei Hao was still greatly shocked.

  A wisp of time passed, and the tungsten steel had only melted a thread, although it was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, but Lei Hao's divine sense had been watching closely and still discovered that the tungsten steel had melted a thread.

  "Ugh, another day..." Lei Hao cursed silently in his heart before mustering up the energy to prepare for a prolonged war of attrition.

  It wasn't long before Lei Hao's exhausted face lit up with excitement as he discovered that the tungsten steel had finally been smelted into a silver-white ingot.

  Lei Hao struck out a few spells, and the steel was squeezed into the mixture of Tianhe Jingjin and Shoushan Tong. In an instant, it became a white-yellow, constantly changing semi-solid knife sword.

  "Tulong" Lei Hao shouted in a hoarse voice.

  The dragon slayer suddenly flew out from a corner, made an emergency stop in front of Lei Hao, and kept shaking the knife body to show off to Lei Hao.

  "Next, it might hurt a bit, bear with it." Lei Hao stroked the blade and said softly.

  Tū Lóng quivered slightly, as if in response. Lei Hao's divine sense stirred, and he also drew Tū Lóng into the midst of the thunderfire. Lei Hao's divine sense tightly protected Tū Lóng's weak and small vessel soul, allowing the purple thunderfire to burn his sword body at will.

  In the midst of the raging flames, the Dragon Slaying Sword forged from ordinary Gang essence and meteoric iron was like a withered reed, igniting at the slightest touch. In just a few breaths' time, it had burned to ashes. As the sword body burned, the purple soul of the instrument let out wave after wave of shrill cries, the intense sound piercing Lei Hao's heart.

  The most critical moment has arrived, Lei Hao carefully brought the Dragon Slayer's soul closer to the semi-solid state. Now that it had lost its knife body as a medium, the Dragon Slayer's soul was too fragile. Perhaps the sharp aura in the semi-solid state would be enough to disperse it, and then the Dragon Slayer would completely disappear.

  Lei Hao's divine consciousness violently suppressed all the auras inside the semi-solid, and then slowly injected the Dragon Slaying Tool's soul into it bit by bit. Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened, and the Dragon Slaying Tool's soul successfully entered the semi-solid. The semi-solid's appearance instantly changed to be exactly the same as the original Dragon Slaying Tool, except that its color was no longer purple-black, but had turned pale yellow.

  It's not over yet, Leihao didn't withdraw his magic, and continued to steadily infuse the Dragon Slayer with magic. The new Dragon Slayer still needs Leihao's magic to nourish it for 99 days and 81 days before it can be successfully refined. During this period of time, the Dragon Slayer first slowly inflated like a balloon, and after inflating to a certain extent, it slowly contracted again. After nine cycles, the Dragon Slayer floated quietly in the thunder fire, no longer moving.

  This time, it took exactly 99 days and 81 days. At this moment, Lei Hao, who looked like he had lost a circle of weight and was covered in dirt all over his body, suddenly withdrew the thunder fire, and at the same time, a mouthful of hot blood turned into a blood arrow that heavily struck Tulong's body.

  All that was heard was a 'hiss' sound, and the pale yellow light of Tulong, which had been quietly floating, suddenly burst forth. A violent pressure swept across the entire Kanyuan Mountain, and after just a few breaths, Tulong retracted its light and directly broke through the layers of restrictions in the secret room. The mountain body of Huakai flew to the top of Kanyuan Mountain.

  At this time, on the top of the mountain, thunder was rumbling and dark clouds had already shrouded more than half of Kan Yuan Mountain.
