#484 - Plunder Sword
In the dark and scorching depths of the cave, the old man, Fire Spirit, initially regarded Li Chengfeng with a condescending air, his aged eyes filled with disdain.
In his view, what storms could this junior, merely at the Core Formation stage, possibly stir up?
However, when Li Chengfeng casually summoned the awe-inspiring Emptiness Fire Battle Dragon, its imposing power instantly shattered the Fire Spirit's arrogance, like glass shattered by a boulder, utterly and completely.
Li Chengfeng transformed back into his original handsome form, sat cross-legged before the furnace, and said in a gentle but undeniable tone, "Senior, I am not one to be unreasonable.
If you sincerely assist me in refining this magical treasure, I will certainly not make things difficult for you.
After all, guarding this refining room before the Dragon Turtle is your responsibility; if it were me, how could I give up so easily?"
Upon hearing this, the Fire Spirit's expression changed drastically, his previous arrogance instantly replaced by fawning, a flattering smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
His voice trembled as he said, "Rest assured, young friend, rest assured! This old one will certainly do his utmost to ensure the refining process goes smoothly.
After all, the flames here all obey my command, and I can certainly lend you a hand."
Li Chengfeng nodded slightly, a hint of scrutiny flashing in his eyes, and said softly, "Since that's the case, I shall wait and see.
If there is the slightest懈怠, don't blame me for being ruthless; I will reduce the flames of this cave to nothingness, and you will not escape the fate of being reduced to ashes."
Upon hearing these words, the old man's heart trembled violently, as if pierced by icy needles; he hurriedly mobilized the power of his entire body's flames, transforming them into a dazzling fire dance, to prove his loyalty and determination.
Having delivered his warning, Li Chengfeng no longer hesitated, flicking his fingers, and rare materials spread out on the refining platform like flowing water, each piece radiating a faint spiritual light, reflecting his resolute face.
The little artifact spirit, meanwhile, bustled about excitedly, skillfully dividing the Nine Profound Battle Iron, ultimately shaping it into three sword embryo prototypes, and respectfully handing them to Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng gently stroked the sword embryos, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes: "Not bad, it seems that your cultivation and skills have both improved during this time.
Continue to work hard, and when I ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future, I will certainly let you manage even more precious materials, and become a true refining master."
Upon hearing this, the little artifact spirit immediately beamed with joy, cheering and jumping for joy, looking as if it had received the most precious reward in the world; its joy was overflowing, and even the air seemed to be filled with a sweet atmosphere.
After appeasing the little artifact spirit, Li Chengfeng took a deep breath, his eyes like torches, and officially began his refining journey.
Holding the Heavenly Dao Brush, Li Chengfeng stood in the center of the cave, surrounded by a faint spiritual light, as if resonating with the heavens and earth.
Old Devil and Little Vermilion Bird stood on either side, their tacit understanding needing no further explanation; each cooperation was like flowing clouds and flowing water, natural and smooth.
Li Chengfeng knew well that the strength and wisdom of these two capable assistants were enough to cope with any unexpected situation, so he only needed to concentrate on the task at hand.
He slowly raised the dragon head, this strange magical artifact from the Nine Profound Old Ancestor, a magical artifact that plundered realms, now exuded an ominous aura in Li Chengfeng's hands.
The dragon head's eyes were tightly closed, yet seemed to contain endless darkness and greed, its horns as sharp as blades, revealing an arrogant domineering aura.
Li Chengfeng knew the power and danger of this object, but also felt joy because of its unique ability.
He closed his eyes and concentrated, beginning to carefully dissect this magical artifact, ultimately stripping out the core that could seize the realms of others—the dragon head.
This dragon head was lifelike, not only with horns, but also with a strange vitality surging within it; once its eyes opened, it could make people feel chills, as if it could see through the deepest fears of the human heart.
Li Chengfeng secretly marveled at the power contained in this dragon head, which was far beyond his imagination.
He guessed that this might be the legendary Realm Dragon, born without realm restrictions, able to inhale and exhale the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with just its breath, advancing without hindrance.
But on second thought, the plundering power of this dragon head was so obvious that he was more inclined to believe that this was a Plundering Dragon, specializing in plundering everything from others, including realms, magical treasures, and even aura.
"The world is vast, and there is nothing that is not strange," Li Chengfeng sighed in his heart, realizing that what he had seen and heard in the human world was just the tip of the iceberg.
Only by ascending to the Spirit Realm, and even the Immortal Realm, could he glimpse the wider and boundless world.
No longer thinking too much, he quickly adjusted his mentality and devoted all his mind to the transformation of the dragon head.
He operated his cultivation technique, using prohibitions as the foundation, especially the Heaven and Earth Wind Prohibition, which was his masterpiece and the foundation upon which he stood in the cultivation world.
He planned to integrate this force of prohibition into his back sword, making it a true flying sword, accompanying him in his battles in all directions.
As the Heavenly Dao Brush waved in the air, complex runes and prohibitions began to condense and take shape in the air, revolving slowly around the dragon head like living things, gradually enveloping it.
Under the envelopment of the prohibitions, the plundering power of the dragon head not only did not weaken, but became even more violent and powerful.
Li Chengfeng knew that this was because the prohibitions he had applied were stimulating the dragon head's potential power, making it even more perfect and flawless.
"Plundering Sword, today you will bear my will and cut through all obstacles!"
Li Chengfeng shouted in a low voice, and the flying sword instantly shone brightly, as if it had spirituality, flying into the air on its own and echoing the dragon head from afar.
As the last prohibition fell, the dragon head and the flying sword merged perfectly, becoming an unprecedentedly powerful magical treasure.
Li Chengfeng stared at the transforming dragon head, his eyes flashing with unprecedented brilliance.
He knew that under the guidance and stimulation of his Heavenly Dao Brush, the power of this Plundering Dragon was being pushed to a whole new level.
As a strange and powerful aura suddenly erupted, strange runes began to flow on the surface of the dragon head, as if the most complex rules in the world were condensed on it.
"Haha, what a Plundering Dragon!" Li Chengfeng laughed loudly, full of anticipation for this magical treasure that was about to be born.
He handed the dragon head to Old Devil without hesitation; when the latter took it, a look of solemnity could not be concealed on his face, and he was obviously shocked by the power of this treasure.
"I didn't expect that such rare treasures could be nurtured in the small human world; even in the Demon Realm, the dragon head of this Plundering Dragon is extremely rare."
Old Devil exclaimed, and at the same time, his heart was even more in awe of Li Chengfeng's methods.
He did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent, and immediately urged the flames in his body to envelop the dragon head.
The flames burned fiercely, but did not harm the dragon head in the slightest; instead, it seemed to have produced some kind of wonderful resonance with it.
Old Devil roared, and the underground flames rose in response, intertwined with his own flames, forming a scorching sea of fire, providing a continuous stream of energy for refining.
Little Vermilion Bird flew around nimbly, occasionally spitting out pure flames, accurately landing on every subtle part of the dragon head, helping to adjust the heat and ensure the smooth progress of the refining process.
The cooperation of the three was seamless, as if they had practiced countless times before.
And in this busy scene, Li Chengfeng was not idle.
He picked up the Heavenly Dao Brush again and began to draw prohibition formations on the other sword embryo.
As his brush moved like a dragon and snake, exquisite runes gradually took shape and merged into the sword embryo.
This sword embryo was originally made of superior materials carefully selected by him, and now under Li Chengfeng's skillful hands, it has burst out with unprecedented brilliance.
Time passed quickly, and another month passed in the blink of an eye.
When the last stroke fell, the sword embryo suddenly shook, making a clear buzzing sound, and was then enveloped by a faint layer of spiritual light.
Li Chengfeng nodded with satisfaction; he knew that his new sword embryo had been completed.
