This time's attempt finally saw the thunder tribulation coalesce smoothly.
To prevent the Heaven Refined metal from being unable to withstand the tribulation's intensity, Su Ming actively bore a portion of it. However, worried about insufficient transformation, he only shared half of the intensity.
While being baptized by the bloodline tribulation under demon laws, Su Ming also felt changes within himself.
"This thunder power circulating within my body actually has such a good effect on the condensation of my qi and blood power?"
Of course, the destruction was undoubtedly immense.
But this wasn't serious for Su Ming.
This tribulation was for the Heaven Refinement of a Three-in-One Spirit Alloy, and he had deliberately controlled the degree of forging, so the tribulation strength wasn't high, only at the level of a Ninety-Seventh Rank Super Douluo.
Looking again at this Heaven Refined metal, it had also come through this bloodline Tribulation. Under Su Ming's astonished gaze, this piece of Heaven Refined metal directly devoured the surrounding energy, rapidly distorting and forming a metallic fire phoenix. Su Ming gasped. Upon closer inspection, this wasn't a phantom or anomaly displayed by the Heaven Refined metal. It itself had transformed into this form. He grasped the metal in his hand, studying it carefully. "Good, good, good. It actually gave the metal a bloodline." Even a lump of iron now had a bloodline. What was still missing? Su Ming looked towards the Abyssal channel. "The elemental imprint, leaning towards the spirit, is imprinted deep within the spirituality. This is also the foundation of Heaven Refinement. The bloodline imprint leans towards the metal's physical form. What's still missing now is an energy level aspect, which corresponds to the Abyss." The three sets of planar laws Su Ming himself chose perfectly corresponded to essence, energy, and spirit. This was an unexpected discovery. But it was... This is also reasonable.
"Strictly speaking, my development of a new forging realm does indeed have some factors related to the condensation of the third Spirit Core in Douluo 2's Body Sect. So, in the selection of these three planes, they also correspond to a Spirit Master's three Spirit Cores." After safely storing this Demon Phoenix Gold, Su Ming began extracting demonic energy again.
Heaven Refinement using demonic laws might have other details. Su Ming needed to explore them.
The elemental imprint belonging to Douluo laws was imprinted on the spirituality. The bloodline imprint of demonic laws was on the metal itself. He wondered if forging techniques could change, becoming pure forging of the metal itself.
That is, bypassing the spirituality? Soon, Su Ming discovered it wasn't feasible.
Spirituality was indispensable.
A month of time quietly passed.
Su Ming successfully forged seven times using demonic laws, gradually having grasped its details.
By now, even Zhen Hua had come to the Blood God Legion upon hearing the news.
"From the current perspective, your idea is correct. Try the double baptism first."
Zhen Hua said excitedly.
Su Ming nodded, not denying Zhen Hua's proposal.
Once again drawing out enough demonic energy, he began forging using the laws of two planes.
He had long prepared plan, allocating the details of this forging very well.
At the very beginning, he did not introduce any energy related to demon laws.
Proceeding with normal Heaven Refinement, while summoning the elemental thunder tribulation, he induced the power of the elemental tribulation to begin forging, using its fire, light, and wind elements to induce the bloodline power inherently contained within the metal.
With the elemental tribulation's power and under reasonable guidance, Su Ming stimulated this bloodline power to a critical point.
Boom!
Within the elemental thunder tribulation, another layer of tribulation began to converge.
The core of the elemental tribulation was Douluo laws, while the core of this new layer of Tribulation was demonic law. Instinctively, the two layers of tribulation repelled each other. This was Douluo Planet. The demonic laws, wanting to overwhelm the elemental tribulation of Douluo laws, were directly suppressed. Seeing this, Su Ming manually tore apart the two tribulations, giving each their own area. He attacked, enraging the tribulations, which poured down on him alone. Su Ming easily caught them, then guided them into the Phoenix Gold below. Under the baptism of the double lightning tribulation, this Two-Tribulation Phoenix Gold also shone even brighter. With Su Ming helping it manage the two imprints, it only needed a stable transformation. The duration of the tribulation was longer than Su Ming had expected. If a single-layer tribulation would end in two hours before, this double-layer tribulation lasted three hours. The tribulation clouds dissipated. Su Ming grasped the Two-Tribulation Phoenix Gold, holding it in his hand and examining it closely. Zhen Hua, nearby, craned his neck to observe. This was an unprecedented Heaven Refined metal. He could sense that even though it was only a Three-in-One alloy, triggering only a three-colored tribulation, under the tempering of the bloodline tribulation, this Two-Tribulation Phoenix Gold even surpassed the quality of a nine-colored tribulation product.
"Even if it's just a three-colored tribulation, combined with the bloodline tribulation corresponding to demon laws and the possible energy tribulation corresponding to Abyssal laws, its strength would far surpass any theoretically possible Heaven Refined metal from before." Zhen Hua was shocked by his own conclusion.
"If we then further enhance all three layers of tribulation to the strength of a nine-colored tribulation, then..."
Zhen Hua calculated. The limit of the Heaven Refinement field had been expanded by He Zhi Ban Bu.
This was He Zhi Ban Bu taking a half-step towards the next realm?
Zhen Hua wore a questioning expression as he looked at Su Ming.
"This multiple-tribulation Heaven Refinement already be able to break free from Heaven Refinement and be classified into its own realm?"
"Teacher, Heaven Refinement is Heaven Refinement. There's no need to deceive yourself. Moreover, Heaven Refinement's own status is already quite high. This is a law imprint. Forged Heaven Refined metals are natural divine artifact blanks. Materials of this level originally didn't correspond to our Title Douluo." Su Ming said speechlessly.
To be honest, Heaven Refined metal should originally be for god-level powerhouses to use.
Limit Douluos could use it purely because they could, not because this Heaven Refined metal was forged for them.
Zhen Hua was persuaded by Su Ming and nodded in agreement.
"Two-Tribulation Heaven Refined metal is indeed not the standard for a Level Nine Blacksmith. It can be set as the threshold for a Level Ten Blacksmith. Three-Tribulation Heaven Refined metal is for Level Eleven," Su Ming said.
Zhen Hua nodded again. The Heavenly Forging alone directly spanned three levels, more than the previous Soul Refinement or Spirit Refinement. But it was worth it.
"As for after Three-Tribulation, receiving the baptism of the universe's laws, that is Super Refinement." Zhen Hua was speechless.
This name felt several levels lower than the previously proposed, scrapped 'Divine Refinement'.
Su Ming didn't care.
It was just a code name.
The technology was the core.
He continued studying the Two-Tribulation Phoenix Gold in his hand, even infusing it with soul power, spiritual power, and blood energy, observing its reactions.
"Speaking of which, what form would the energy tribulation corresponding to Abyssal laws take?" Zhen Hua asked curiously.
Su Ming shook his head and said: "Don't know. However, since we know the general direction, we should also take some precautions in advance. Opportunities for energy-type Heaven Refinement seem to be more than bloodline Heavenly Forging, but once we begin, the..." Abyssal Sage King, sensing the change, will certainly stop it immediately. Not only will forging become more difficult, but obtaining abyssal energy will also become even more challenging in the future." Zhen Hua nodded solemnly.
