Undoubtedly, to prevent the field from being empty, wasting the effort of securing the Demon Gate in the Abyssal battlefield while also facing future variable pressure, pre-verification of one's idea was necessary.
However, Su Ming couldn't verify.
If he had coordinates to other planes now, he could naturally do some verification. But he only had the Demon Plane's coordinates.
This fishing behavior could only be performed once.
As for the Abyss side, if he tried prematurely to attract a Heaven Refinement thunder tribulation using Abyssal laws, the Abyssal Sage King would subsequently deliberately obstruct his plan to secure the Demon Gate.
"Overall, my deduction is still controllable."
Su Ming was very confident in his deduction.
If he didn't trust himself, then who could he trust?
The path to godhood must be taken, and it wasn't even Su Ming's final destination. If he couldn't even deduce this point well, didn't trust his own deduction results, then how could he talk about going further?
Su Ming's understanding of this world had now reached a peak.
At the very least, he knew all the secrets he should know at this point. His comprehension had also reached the limit below the threshold of godhood.
Although his strength might be higher due to his status as Lord of the Plane, his comprehension was genuinely stuck.
So, the god-level path deduced now at the seventhtieth level wouldn't differ too much from one deduced later at the ninth-ninth level.
"Let's use the Demon Plane's laws first. Abyssal laws have an owner, which would raise vigilance."
Su Ming set up a forging platform within the legion.
He obviously couldn't forge on the battlefield. This was at the original Blood God Legion site.
Both demon and Abyssal laws had been actively invited by him to penetrate deeply here.
"Hundred Refinement, no difference."
"Thousand Refinement, still feasible."
Su Ming forged very slowly.
He didn't perform forging like 'one hammer, Thousand Refinement; one hammer, Spirit Refinement.' Instead, he used the techniques of Level One, Level Three, and Level Five blacksmiths, using a large number of hammer strikes to exchange for the metal's repeated transformations.
During this process, he carefully felt every stage's changes.
Fortunately, everything remained the same as before up until Soul Refinement.
During this process, he had already introduced demon laws.
With a wave of his hand, demon energy within Douluo Planet was drawn to him, bit by bit hammered into the metal before him.
Around him, a large number of blacksmiths gathered, admiring this scene.
Due to Su Ming's recruitment drive, even blacksmiths who preferred a life of ease had come to serve in the freezing land of the Blood God Legion, providing stable equipment support for the legion.
"Succeeded."
Su Ming's heart stirred. He struck the final hammer and stepped back.
He watched the metal on the forging platform ahead jump up.
No thunderclouds gathered. However, this Heaven Refined metal now seemed to be gripped in mid-air by something, constantly kneaded, as if enduring unimaginable pain.
Su Ming carefully watched this scene, frowning slightly.
No thunderclouds, so did this count as the tribulation of Heaven Refinement?
But what was this tribulation?
Unfortunately, the response to Su Ming was an explosion.
This piece of Heaven Refined metal shattered.
Su Ming also couldn't help but be somewhat stunned.
"Once more."
This time, Su Ming was bolder, pouring his spiritual power into it to feel the changes in this metal's spirituality.
Undoubtedly, this metal also shattered.
However, Su Ming was no longer puzzled.
"If Douluo laws represent the baptism of elements, then demon laws represent the transformation of bloodline. It was my problem."
"First, the thunder tribulation. This is still indispensable. There are demon laws here, a certain amount of Demon Plane energy—in short, no lack of catalysts. The reason it didn't trigger the thunder tribulation wasn't that the metal's level was insufficient, but purely that it didn't trigger the underlying logic within demon laws."
In the Demon Plane, bloodline was supreme.
So only the evolution of bloodline could cause changes in the planar laws.
After reflection, Su Ming began Heaven Refinement again.
His forging efficiency was extremely high. Even after two consecutive failures, only half a day had passed.
The third time, he tried to forge something similar to a bloodline within the metal.
This time, he used his own qi and blood as a guide, and the metal he selected also contained some rare metals with special bloodline power.
This time, it succeeded.
Although it summoned a bloodline thunder tribulation belonging to the Demon Plane, there were demon laws here and the corresponding demon energy for this mechanism.
So, the thunder tribulation quickly took shape.
However, the speed at which the thunder tribulation formed was very slow. If left to gather so sluggishly, the metal's own bloodline evolution would be over.
And without the thunder tribulation's baptism, this bloodline evolution simply couldn't succeed.
Su Ming frowned, actively urging the gathering of the thunder tribulation.
He filled it with pure heaven and earth vital energy from Douluo Planet.
However, the core within were demon laws and part of the energy from the Demon Plane.
This time, it failed again.
The reason for failure was also clear to Su Ming.
"Energy imbalance."
Su Ming sighed.
Within the thunder tribulation, the proportion of heaven and earth vital energy from Douluo's side was too high. The demon laws couldn't restrain it.
It wasn't that external power couldn't be used to fill it, but the proportion had to be mastered well.
Su Ming glanced around and found that apart from a small amount of demon energy lingering around the battlefield channel entrance, the other demon energy had been completely consumed by the recent thunder tribulation.
"Still need to find a way to collect more demon energy."
Su Ming was somewhat speechless.
So would forging in the future be limited by energy?
He took out the nine strands of demon bloodline power he had just collected, considering whether to open another channel now to draw over a large amount of demon energy.
From the current perspective, the demon energy scattering towards Douluo Planet from the Abyssal battlefield side was simply insufficient for Heaven Refinement needs.
After his gaze changed several times in succession, Su Ming still made a decision.
He informed Zhang Huanyun and the others, then immediately set about creating a second Demon Gate.
Only, this second Demon Gate's scale wasn't large, only the scale of the Demon Gate initially summoned by Yuan'en Yehui.
This portal's upper limit for passing power was Ninth Tier, roughly the level of a Ninety-Third Rank Titled Douluo.
After this channel was successfully established, Zhang Huanyun effectively organized some legion members to enter the Demon Plane, occupy the area around the exit on the other side, then stationed personnel to guard it, preventing anyone from the demon race from discovering this channel and stopping them from destroying this channel.
The bloodlines of the nine Demon Lords were all consumed by Su Ming, exchanged for such a channel. The coordinate on the other side was forcibly shifted a great deal by him, not opened right in front of Alba.
"This channel will henceforth be specifically used to draw in the heaven and earth energy of the Demon Plane."
Su Ming nodded.
He personally controlled the grand formation, penetrated deep into this channel, and drew in demon energy, stopping only after calculating that it felt about right.
"I used the grand formation to draw it in. It took three days to draw in enough demon energy. If this channel draws in naturally daily, it might take a month to gather enough for the gestation of one Heaven Refinement thunder tribulation."
So, using demon laws for Heaven Refinement would be limited by the resource of demon energy?
This was not good news.
However, Su Ming still didn't try Abyssal laws.
Abyssal energy was very easy to draw in. Su Ming could redirect the grand formation and immediately gather enough Abyssal energy for three to five Heaven Refinement thunder tribulations.
But this wasn't safe.
Su Ming adjusted his mindset, preparing to try Heaven Refinement once more.
He was also curious. If Heaven Refined metal obtained not an elemental imprint, but a bloodline imprint, would it have any special characteristics?
