Chapter 1456: Using Devours The Earth To Draw In Heavenly Refinement

Zhen Hua was startled. Using seven elements in Heavenly Refinement basically meant you had already perfected the technique! In his many years of forging, it was extremely rare that he would be able to complete seven-element Heavenly Refinement. Moreover, his body would be severely injured every time he even attempted it.

He opened his mouth, thinking to stop Tang Wulin, but he did not speak in the end. He believed that Tang Wulin would only learn his lesson by suffering the consequences.

After all, they were at the Heavenly Ascension Platform, and Zhen Hua was there to protect Tang Wulin. If there were any unexpected troubles, he could at least keep him from being severely injured.

How was the boy capable of drawing in so much origin energy to this place?

At this point, Zhen Hua was not in a rush to turn on the Heavenly Ascension Platform. There was already a sufficiently massive number of elements. The more elements that gathered, the greater the influence on the metal during the process of Heavenly Refinement. The calamity lightning that was drawn in would be more powerful as well!

It was the result of Devour Heaven and Earth!

There was no need for Tang Wulin to rely on the Heavenly Ascension Platform’s ability to draw in origin energy due to his incredible self-enhancing soul power. He was the Nature Child, so he had a strong bond with nature. Moreover, he was the chosen one of the plane. Even though the lord of the plane was incapable of helping him directly, he could grant him the strongest connection with the entire plane.

Following the elevation of his cultivation base, these effects became more intense, as they were seeing at this point.

With his eyes closed, Tang Wulin was sensing the change and fluctuation of the numerous elements. He sensed the gentleness of water, the blazing heat of fire, the grace of the wind and the weight of the earth. There was also the holiness of light, the shadiness of darkness and the variability of space.

Every type of element was a portion of the heaven and earth laws. The entire world was actually made up of these elements, and the purest form of elements could also bring forth the purest energy.

Tang Wulin had experienced so much in just a few short years. His comprehension of heaven and earth’s laws had far surpassed other people’s especially after coming in contact with divine-ranked creatures and people on multiple occasions and receiving his father’s guidance.

These experiences were precious to him, and their effects were being expressed right before his eyes.

The origin energy was drawn in and absorbed swiftly, but it was not being infused directly into the metal the way Zhen Hua had done. Instead, the energy was all channeled through Tang Wulin’s body.

Devour Heaven and Earth could be used to greatly enhance his cultivation base. Tang Wulin was not absorbing the seven-colored radiance that surged into his body but guiding the elements toward his soul-forged Heavy Silver Hammers instead.

He lifted the Heavy Silver Hammers that had slowly turned seven-colored and dropped them abruptly, striking the piece of newly soul-forged Heavy Silver!

“Boom!”

A deep sound like an explosion shook the entire Heavenly Ascension Platform for a moment. The Heavy Silver was instantly colored with seven hues.

Tang Wulin did not utilize Zhen Hua’s forging method. He used a technique that was relatively easier for him to control.

The Heavenly Refinement process was different for every blacksmith, as each had to seek a path of their own. Tang Wulin’s method was to rely on Devour Heaven and Earth to draw in the origin energy that would be infused into the metal.

While he was watching Zhen Hua demonstrating Heavenly Refinement, Tang Wulin came up with some ideas of his own. He could only try them out by engaging in a hands-on practical session.

The most important part of Heavenly Refinement was branding the heaven and earth laws onto the metal forged by the blacksmith so that the soul-forged metal could be bestowed with its own abilities. In this way, the attributes of the method would change.

In its simplest terms, Heavenly Refinement could be described as the infusion of heaven and earth power into a soul-forged metal before using lightning to complete the brand of the heaven and earth laws.

It sounded simple, but it would be extremely difficult to carry it out successfully. Firstly, the blacksmith would need to have a profound understanding of heaven and earth laws in order to utilize the power.

Difficult as it was, Tang Wulin was richly endowed by nature because he was the Nature Child and also the lord of the plane’s chosen one. From his cultivation experience in the past, he utilized the power of the Nature Child and the Blood God Great Array to experience the profoundness of the laws on multiple occasions. In addition to his spiritual cultivation base that had already reached Spirit Domain, he was capable of understanding, judging and mobilizing heaven and earth elements at the highest level.

A Limit Douluo-ranked powerhouse was also equipped with such abilities but would not be skilled in forging. Moreover, the powerhouse could never measure up to Tang Wulin, the Nature Child with a strong connection to origin energy.

Tang Wulin had been learning about forging since he was young so he was extremely familiar with the forging process itself. He had a good understanding of the internal structures, characteristics and even the emotions of many types of metals.

Thus, he felt that Heavenly Refinement was not as difficult as described by his uncle teacher when he first began the process. At least, he had managed to complete the first step which was infusing the elements into the metal with the utmost care.

Tang Wulin used his body as the medium to draw in origin energy using Devour Heaven and Earth, and then he infused the energy through his forging hammers into the metal. Everything went smoothly.

Tang Wulin could clearly sense that the soul-forged Heavy Silver carried a form of attraction of its own. When he conducted origin energy into the metal, it would never fuse with these elements. These elements began to leave behind intriguing brands on the inside of the metal under Tang Wulin’s intentional control. The brands were tiny, but they appeared to be engraved with miniature core circuits. The internal structure of the metal began to transform. The metal was being remoulded just as Zhen Hua had mentioned.

‘So it turns out that this is Heavenly Refinement. This is what it feels like to perform Heavenly Refinement!

‘I truly must experience it by myself in order to feel its depth. It is extraordinary!’

Tang Wulin gasped in amazement, but he dared not make the slightest mistake. Gradually, he felt that the minute elemental brands on the internal structure of this metal piece had saturated. He began to lower the volume of elements infused into the metal. At the same time, he suddenly thought of something. It seemed like different types of metal could withstand different amounts of elements. Heavy Silver was still a relatively normal rare metal after all, so the total amount that could be endured by this metal was not considered very high.

However, the quantity of origin energy drawn in by Tang Wulin was still relatively large. An idea came to him. Tang Wulin compelled the origin energy so that it remained in his soul-forged Heavy Silver Hammers.

From Zhen Hua’s point of view, the piece of metal Tang Wulin was working on had taken on seven colors. Soon after, the colors on the hammers grew clearer as they absorbed the power of the elements.

Zhen Hua opened his mouth as if he was about to speak but did not. Blacksmiths dreaded being disturbed when they were engaged in Heavenly Refinement. Thus, even though he was feeling extremely dissatisfied by Tang Wulin’s method, he did not say anything. Even if he wished to scold Tang Wulin, he would wait until after Tang Wulin failed in his Heavenly Refinement.

Both metals appeared to be made of the same Heavy Silver, but the power of the metals was beyond imagination. Soul-forged products that were forged at different times would vary widely in quality, as was the case with these metals. Thus, the act of performing Heavenly Refinement on two pieces of metal simultaneously was equal to fooling around. The level of difficulty in doing this had even surpassed the heavenly refining of spirit alloy that Zhen Hua had just done. How could Zhen Hua suppress his rage when Tang Wulin was brazenly taking such a risk on his first attempt?

However, through his fury, Zhen Hua discovered that he was feeling very surprised as well. This was because the thick origin energy drawn in by Tang Wulin had surpassed what he had drawn in with the Heavenly Ascension Platform. The seven elements surged in an endless stream and formed a magnificent seven-colored light band that hovered in the air. It then fused into Tang Wulin’s body, and he appeared to have no trouble in withstanding the process. It was just like he was not feeling any form of stress at all.

This was the power of the Nature Child. If an ordinary person had been in his place, they would not have had the audacity to draw such a large number of pure elements into their body. Otherwise, they would be in grave danger of being overwhelmed by the elements. In milder cases, they could become possessed, and in severe cases, they could possibly trigger an elemental storm, leading their body to explode.
