2117 Ou Yenuo And Ou Chen’s Past, Blazing Flame Mountain’s Origin, Someone Is Asking For Trouble
“Heavenly Thunder Weapon Quenching Technique? A forbidden technique?”
Chu Kuangren was surprised by the book that he was reading.
Ou Yenuo noticed the book in his hand. “This technique is a forbidden technique from my master. It remains a theory because it’s too dangerous. No one has dared to test it out.”
His explanation intrigued Chu Kuangren even more, and the latter continued reading.
Quenching was a necessary step in forging.
The energy or material used for quenching varied from many mystical options.
Some used the coldest ice, some used the hottest flame, and some used the clearest water.
That Heavenly Thunder Weapon Quenching Technique, as its name suggested, required the heavenly thunder, which was the lightning bolts from the Heavenly Tribulation!
The stronger the Heavenly Tribulation, the better, but that was not the most dangerous step.
The most dangerous step in the technique was that it required a person as a medium for the lightning bolt to strike.
In theory, a man as a medium and the lightning bolt to quench the weapon could forge a stronger bond between man and weapon.
It remained a crazy thought.
The Heavenly Tribulation was not a simple process because one misstep would kill the person.
Who would have the spare energy to quench a weapon at that time?
On top of that, one would need to use the body as a medium for the lightning bolt.
It was utter madness!
“Interesting.”
However, Chu Kuangren found it interesting. The forbidden technique was theoretical, but he deemed it worthy to try.
Of course, even he could not guarantee its success.
It was an untested theory, after all.
After months of preparation, Ou Yenuo finally came up with the best solution for the forging.
“Now, all we need is one more thing — the fire to melt the metal!” Ou Yenuo looked at the volcano in the center of the Myriad Arms City.
Looking at the volcano peak, Ou Yenuo expressed his thoughts emotionally. “I didn’t think I could come back here to forge something.”
Ever since his cultivation dropped, he had never stepped close to the volcano.
“Oh, Ou Yenuo.”
A voice spoke.
Ou Chen was there too, and when he sensed Ou Yenuo’s recovered aura, he was shocked.
“You have recovered?”
“What’s wrong? Are you disappointed?”
Ou Yenuo scoffed at Ou Chen.
The two of them had a fierce conflict in the past.
“I don’t care whether you’ve recovered,” Ou Chen scoffed.
“Is that so? Since I’ve recovered, do you think you can call yourself the strongest weaponsmith in Myriad Arms City?”
“Ou Yenuo, are you challenging me?”
“Why not?”
The two of them argued.
Then, another weaponsmith arrived and said, “Ou Yenuo, you are not worthy of challenging Master Ou Chen. You’re just a loser. Master Ou Chen is the one who forged the Hongmeng Supreme Treasure.”
More weaponsmiths arrived and nodded in agreement.
When Ou Yenuo heard the weaponsmith, he scoffed. “Him? That Hongmeng Supreme Treasure he forged was the one that I didn’t finish. He caused that accident during my forging process to hurt me so that he could reap the harvest. He modified the unfinished product and got lucky. It was a success, and he claimed the credit for himself.”
His revelation sparked astonishment among the crowd.
Everyone looked at Ou Chen dubiously.
Was the strongest weaponsmith in the Myriad Arms City such a deplorable person?
“Stop accusing me! I forged that Hongmeng Supreme Treasure myself! It’s not your unfinished product! Ou Yenuo, no one believes you!” Ou Chen bellowed grimly.
“In that case, why haven’t you forged another Hongmeng Supreme Treasure after so many years?” Ou Yenuo countered with his question.
“Hmph. What do you think the Hongmeng Supreme Treasure is? A toy? Something you can forge whenever you want to?”
“Whatever. I don’t want to argue with you. I’m here because I want to forge another Hongmeng Supreme Treasure. I want everyone to know who is the strongest weaponsmith in Myriad Arms City!”
His words shocked the others.
All of them looked at him with anticipation.
Could the weaponsmith who had recovered to his prime forge a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure?
Ou Yenuo brought Chu Kuangren to the volcano crater, where they looked down. Boiling lava was below them, and a terrifying fire element energy erupted.
It even contained a hint of murderous energy.
“The Feng Domain is constantly at war, hence the murderous qi and anger. The volcano is connected to the nodes across the land, and a powerful formation has been set up to absorb the murderous qi from all over the domain and fuse it into the lava, hence the unique Blazing Flame.
“The Blazing Fire here produces the best result when used in forging. The weapons forged here are always the best weapon of destruction,” Ou Yenuo explained.
Chu Kuangren finally knew why Myriad Arms City was located in Feng Domain and why it promoted conflicts around the place.
It was to gather murderous qi to boost the fire in the volcano.
“Alright. Let’s begin,” Ou Yenuo said.
He raised his hand and summoned a massive refining furnace. He performed multiple mystical hand seals and channeled the fire from the lava into the furnace.
The blazing fire surged and was absorbed into the furnace.
Ou Yenuo then tossed the Hongmeng Divine Metal inside.
As the fire started to melt the divine metal, all the weaponsmiths watched with full concentration.
Seeing that, Chu Kuangren set up restriction seals around Ou Yenuo to protect him during the process and keep everyone away from him.
“All of you, retreat a million kilometers or suffer the consequences!” Chu Kuangren bellowed as he rose to the sky.
The weaponsmiths were confused.
“This is the Blazing Flame Mountain, not your house. Why are you telling us to leave?”
“Yeah. You’re being unreasonable.”
The Blazing Flame Mountain was part of the Myriad Arms City’s territory, and they were the weaponsmiths of the city.
Why must they take orders from Chu Kuangren?
“Bang!”
While they voiced their grievance, a blast of energy erupted from Chu Kuangren.
The Radiant Dao’s energy gushed and swept across the volcano.
Some weaker weaponsmiths were blasted away.
“I won’t repeat myself.”
Chu Kuangren’s silver hair danced in the air as he released his vast aura to pressure the weaponsmiths.
It even contained a hint of keen killing intent.
The weaponsmiths were deterred.
Some of them recalled how Chu Kuangren easily eliminated a Grand Dao elite, and it made them gulp nervously.
“He’s not to be messed with.”
“Fine. A million kilometers it is. We can still see.”
“There’s no point in going against this guy.”
The weaponsmiths compromised and started to retreat.
Ou Chen pondered for a moment before he followed them away.
After that, Chu Kuangren returned to Ou Yenuo and watched his forging process.
The forging process would take longer than a day or two, so Chu Kuangren sat with his legs crossed and continued to fuse the three thousand Daoist laws in him.
He wanted to ascend to the Primordial Realm as soon as possible.
Time flew, and several years went by.
Chu Kuangren was progressing smoothly in his fusing, and his Primordial energy was slowly forming. He was one step shy from ascending to Primordial.
If he wanted it, he could ascend whenever he wanted.
On that day, multiple frosty killing intents came from outside the mountain, bringing chills to those who sensed it.
Chu Kuangren opened his eyes. “Someone is asking for trouble.”
