1258 Reappearance of the Ancient Gods. The Fire God Hammer and the Lightning God Hammer! (2)
He finally understood why he found them familiar.
“The Ancient Gods!” Wang Teng muttered to himself.
There was a special race carved in the walls—the Ancient Gods!
“Huh? You know about the Ancient Gods?” Round Ball was surprised.
!!
“Is it strange?” Wang Teng asked.
“Of course. They disappeared millions of years ago. I wouldn’t know about them without doing my research,” the other replied emotionally.
“Oh?” said a nonplussed Wang Teng.
They were gone; he didn’t see any of them when alive. However, he had indeed seen one of their corpses.
Still, he didn’t want to explain himself.
Round Ball felt unhappy. What’s with that response? It felt offended.
“How did you learn about the Ancient Gods?”
“I saw one by coincidence,” Wang Teng replied casually.
“Tsk, you don’t have to reply if you don’t want to.” The little one pouted and returned to the main topic, “Which ones are you going to choose?”
“These two.” Wang Teng pointed at the last two hammers.
The details on the two hammers could be appreciated in the carvings; even their colors and outline were visible. It wouldn’t be complicated to use them for visualizations.
The only issue was, he didn’t know how powerful they were.
As far as they knew, they were but fictitious things of legend. None of them knew a thing about them.
However, Wang Teng believed that the Ancient God weapons would be anything but weak. That was why he decided to bet on it.
Round Ball was stunned.
It spoke at length, yet the fellow still chose the last two hammers.
“Why?” it frowned and asked.
“No reason. I just want to choose them,” Wang Teng replied, nonchalant.
“You…” The little one was at a loss.
Wang Teng wasn’t being rash, but he did it with a light heart. Round Ball couldn’t make heads or tails about it.
“Nevermind, it’s your choice. It doesn’t matter to me.”
The little fellow disappeared the next instant, feeling it would go crazy if it kept arguing with the human.
Wang Teng was confused, but he didn’t dwell upon it. Once he chose the hammers, he disappeared from the virtual universe.
Reality.
He closed his eyes and the images from the pair of hammers popped up in his mind. He started outlining them using his spiritual power.
The weapons had no mutual resemblance whatsoever.
One was covered in flames, etched with occult crimson patterns all over. It looked mysterious. The flames formed a sharp tip at the bottom of the hammer, like a flame tongue when swung through the air.
The other was surrounded by lightning, packed with complex, purple-colored patterns. It would release the power of lightning when swung, striking down from the sky. It was extraordinary.
Wang Teng came up with names for them.
One was the Fire God Hammer!
The other was the Lightning God Hammer!
The naming was convenient, easy to remember. Besides, it sounded impressive and classy.
Perfect.
It wasn’t easy outlining the two hammers as their patterns were extremely complex. They weren’t runes he knew; the rules of heaven and earth seemed to be embedded within.
It sounded deep and profound and it was.
Wang Teng remained patient, slowly outlining the hammers based on his understanding. His theory was strong, so he could sense the power of fire and lightning on those patterns, even though he didn’t know what they represented.
Their might was similar to the power of origin.
He was gradually able to emulate their auras as he drew the hammers with his understanding.
Time passed slowly. Two days passed.
Round Ball appeared next to Wang Teng and frowned at him. It mumbled, Did you fail? I told you not to choose those two hammers, but you went and did it anyway. Seriously…
However, it didn’t have the guts to say it out loud.
Being an intelligent lifeform, it had a self-deprecating feeling. Why am I in this state? It felt inferior.
Round Ball floated around Wang Teng twice, feeling worried. Then, it decided to sit in front of him and stare until it received a response.
Swoosh!
Just then—Wang Teng suddenly woke up. A pair of flashes appeared in his eyes: one red and one purple.
The red light was scorching hot while the purple glow sparkled with electricity.
The hammers’ outlines could be seen within those glows. It was a little strange for them to appear in his eyes.
However, Round Ball didn’t think too much of it, and stared at Wang Teng in disbelief. “You did it!”
Wang Teng was stunned, not expecting the little fellow to be right in front of him. The hammers in his eyes dispersed, and he nodded. “Yes, I just formed them through visualization. Indeed, they are special.”
“Shucks, you always surprise me,” Round Ball exclaimed. Then, it urged him, “Quick, tell me how special they are.”
“They’re very powerful. They seem to contain the rules of heaven and earth. I can feel that they’re more powerful than the first six hammers,” said Wang Teng after contemplating for a moment.
“Looks like the two hammers are exceptional. You just confirmed the rumors,” Round Ball said with a smile.
“Hahaha, all the people doing research should thank me.” Wang Teng laughed.
“Unfortunately, these two hammers have never made an appearance. It would be awesome if they did,” Round Ball said.
“Even if they do appear, it has nothing to do with us. There would be formidable martial warriors fighting for them.” Wang Teng shook his head. “All right, I’m going to refine my spirit.”
“Okay.” Round Ball nodded and disappeared.
Wang Teng closed his eyes again. Both hammers floated in his consciousness; a special fluctuation flowed around them.
He needed to replicate them.
Based on Buddha Sutra’s first level, he needed a hundred hammers for the refining process.
Since forming the first ones had been achieved, the only thing left to do was to copy and paste them, which was an easier process.
He released his spiritual power and hammers started forming. They all came in pairs: one Fire God Hammer and one Lightning God Hammer.
Time passed slowly…
Finally, the hundred hammers were created, filling up his consciousness. It was a grand sight.
No wonder it was necessary to have a powerful spirit to practice the Buddha’s Sutra. The hundred spiritual hammers had already used up much of his spiritual power. An ordinary person would have had a hard time recreating such a feat.
Besides, they were powerful hammers!
The stronger the spiritual hammer, the more spiritual power required.
The two hammers visualized were the most powerful available. Only Wang Teng could make them.
Furthermore, he still had an immense amount of spiritual power left after making all those hammers. It was all thanks to the spirit attributes he had accumulated over that period of time.
Wang Teng controlled the hammers and used them to bash his spiritual body.
Bang, bang, bang…
“Gasp!” Wang Teng’s face turned pale. He breathed in deeply.
Pain~
It was so painful!
He almost screamed, even considering his willpower.
Regret was surfacing at the moment. Why did he use the hundred hammers right then and there? I should have used one hammer to test first.
He was reckless!
Too late for regrets, though. He had already started hammering his spiritual body, so he had no choice but to continue.
Bang, bang, bang…
Dull thuds echoed continuously in Wang Teng’s consciousness. His spiritual body slowly started to solidify.
At the same time, the power of rules seeped into his mind, particularly of the Origin Of Flame and the Origin Of Lightning. They flowed down the patterns and merged into Wang Teng’s consciousness with each hammer strike.
“Huh?” Wang Teng noticed the power. He was shocked. “This is… the power of rules of the origin?
“The Fire God Hammer and the Lightning God Hammer are able to provide the power of rules to build the Nine Treasures Pagoda!
“If that’s the case, let’s add some oil to the flame!”
Wang Teng had a crazy idea.
