2115 Weaponsmith Ou Yenuo, The Allure of the Hongmeng Divine Metal
“Their craftsmanship is nothing compared to yours.”
Chu Kuangren picked up an Arch Gilded Weapon on the ground before taking out another Arch Gilded Weapon and striking them against each other.
“Clang.”
The Arch Gilded Weapon in Chu Kuangren’s hand immediately shattered.
Meanwhile, the one forged by the man was unscathed.
“Your weaponsmithing techniques are extraordinary. Can you forge a sword for me?” Chu Kuangren looked at him and asked once again.
The other weaponsmiths around soon noticed the both of them.
They poked their heads out one after another and started whispering.
“Check it out. This guy has found Ou Yenuo.”
“Tsk, tsk. Has he not heard of the ‘great’ Ou Yenuo?”
“Ou Yenuo… What a shame. This person was a weaponsmithing genius and once studied under the same master as Ou Chen. However, I heard this person was heavily injured while attempting to forge a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure. As a result, his cultivation level dropped back to the Primordial Realm.”
“That’s right. It’s such a shame.”
There was a certain connection between a weaponsmith and his or her cultivation level.
Generally speaking, the higher the weaponsmith’s cultivation, the more beneficial it would be for them when forging weapons.
Ou Yenuo was previously a Grand Dao Supreme God cultivator. However, he was heavily injured by the Blazing Flame while forging one time, causing his cultivation level to drop.
Now, he could only exert the power of a Primordial.
That also produced a significant impact on his weaponsmithing level.
Ou Yenuo looked at Chu Kuangren and chuckled. “It’s not that I can’t forge any weapons for you. However, I can only forge Arch Gilded Weapons as of now.”
He took a drink of wine after saying that.
“I want you to forge me a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure.”
Ou Yenuo immediately spat out the wine from his mouth.
‘A Hongmeng Supreme Treasure?’
Besides Ou Chen, no one else in the Myriad Arms City had ever succeeded in forging a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure. Furthermore, Ou Chen only succeeded by luck.
Ever since then, no one had ever succeeded in forging such a divine weapon.
Yet now, Chu Kuangren was requesting for a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure?
How could it be done?!
“Alright. This guy is a madman.”
“That’s right. What does he take Hongmeng Supreme Treasures for, huh? Even the Monarch-class Transcendentalists may not even have a few Hongmeng Supreme Treasures in their possessions.”
“This man must be mad for demanding a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure right at the get-go.”
The other weaponsmiths assumed Chu Kuangren to be either a madman or a fool.
They no longer paid him any attention.
Meanwhile, Ou Yenuo looked at him with a strange expression.
“Do you realize what you just said?”
“Of course.”
“Forging a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure requires very specific materials and, even more so, superb weaponsmithing skills. These two factors are crucial. Even with this, the chances of success are minuscule at best. There have only been a handful of successes in the history of the Myriad Arms City.”
“Do you want to accept the challenge of becoming one of them?”
“Well…”
Ou Yenuo was hesitating a little.
If it were in the past, his answer would be yes.
However, he knew that he did not have that ability anymore.
As of now, even forging a Chaos Supreme Treasure was extremely difficult for him, let alone a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure.
Seeing that, Chu Kuangren took out a white metal ore with a jade-like surface.
The moment that item appeared, the surrounding spiritual qi started to churn.
Countless mysterious patterns were engraved onto that jade-like metal ore, and strands of purple Hongmeng spiritual qi could also be seen lingering all over it. It was extraordinary.
The instant he saw that jade-like metal ore, Ou Yenuo’s expression froze with shock. His breathing also became a little heavy. “T-This is a Hongmeng-grade Divine Metal!”
Not only him but the other surrounding weaponsmiths were shocked as well. They all stared at Chu Kuangren’s Divine Metal with burning gazes.
“A Hongmeng-grade Divine Metal! I can’t believe this guy possesses something like this!”
“By the heavens, it’s been so many years since I’ve seen such a priceless piece of metal.”
Some of the other weaponsmiths were tempted by that divine metal.
Dozens of coveting gazes landed on Chu Kuangren.
However, he simply ignored them.
He just looked at Ou Yenuo and said, “I’ve fulfilled one of the two conditions you said earlier. As for the other one, it’s all on you now.”
Ou Yenuo let out a bitter smile. “You shouldn’t take out this item. I was heavily injured in an incident and can no longer forge a divine metal like this.”
“What if I tell you I can help you recover from your injuries? Will you be willing to forge a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure for me then?” Shocking words soon came out of Chu Kuangren’s mouth.
Ou Yenuo looked at him with a somewhat suspicious and doubtful look.
For all these years, he had spent countless time and effort trying to heal the injuries in his body. However, he never recovered.
‘Could this person help me return to my prime?’
Seeing the calm and seemingly wise Chu Kuangren, Ou Yenuo nodded slowly. “If you can help me recover, I won’t even mind serving you for life, let alone forge weapons for you.”
“Wonderful.” Chu Kuangren smiled with satisfaction.
However, at that time, a ray of black light was suddenly launched at Chu Kuangren’s back!
It contained an astonishing level of killing intent!
“Boom!”
The black ray of light landed on the Radiant barrier and was easily repelled.
With a wave of his sleeves, Chu Kuangren sent that ray of black light back, causing it to go through a weaponsmith’s head. That person was the one who sent the attack.
However, that was not the end of it.
With a weaponsmith dead, dozens more appeared. They looked at the Divine Metal in Chu Kuangren’s possession with coveting gazes.
“Hand us that Divine Metal, young man, and we’ll spare your life.”
“That’s right. Otherwise, you can forget about leaving the Myriad Arms City peacefully.”
Those people could no longer hold back their desire for the Hongmeng Divine Metal.
They were attacking Chu Kuangren out of desperation.
“Do you people realize what you’re doing?” Chu Kuangren said indifferently with both hands behind his back.
An ethereal wisp of killing intent flowed out from him.
However, those people’s greed had surpassed their fear of him, so they could no longer be persuaded.
“So what if you’re the Radiant Church’s Child of Light? This is the Myriad Arms City. There’s no way your Radiant Church can interfere here.”
“That’s right. You have one last chance. Hand over the Divine Metal now!”
Chu Kuangren shook his head. “Sigh. The name Myriad Arms City does sound quite cool and domineering, but I can’t believe it turned out to be just a den of bandits.”
“Hmph! How dare you say that about us?”
Those people attacked.
They took out their weapons one by one.
There were swords, sabers, axes…
Various weapons appeared, each emitting endless Immortal Sparks.
They were mostly Primordial Realm cultivators. With their weapons swinging in their hands, they immediately charged toward Chu Kuangren and unleashed their various Primordial auras.
The power of their attacks could even rival that of an ordinary Grand Dao cultivator.
“It seems like all of you have chosen death.
“Great Judgment of Light!”
Chu Kuangren’s gaze turned cold, and he raised his hand gently.
Radiant Great Dao energy burst forward like a raging torrent, instantly shattering all the incoming Primordial Dao.
Soon, the weaponsmiths were enveloped by the Radiant Dao, and their bodies blew up one after another.
Their corpses were then converted to gas and evaporated!
With their cultivation level, not even their corpses were left behind in the face of Chu Kuangren’s powers.
“Clang! Clang! Clang…”
The weapons all fell to the ground after having lost their masters.
Just then, a chain appeared out of nowhere and instantly locked onto Chu Kuangren, entangling him tightly.
A Great Dao aura was emanating from that chain.
It meant that a Grand Dao cultivator had taken action.
Chu Kuangren looked up toward the other end of the chain.
He saw an elderly, gray-robed man holding the chain with one hand and stroking his beard with the other while looking at Chu Kuangren delightfully. “Even a Grand Dao cultivator will find it hard to break free from this God-binding Chain of mine. Young man, I suggest you hand me that Hongmeng Divine Metal…”
However, before he could finish his sentence, the chain in his hand started trembling violently.
