Su Ming and Zhen Hua discussed energy-type Heaven Refinement.
Although Zhen Hua himself was only a Level Nine Blacksmith, if it was only suitable for a single type of energy-type Heaven Refinement, it should still fall within the Level Nine category.
While Su Ming and Zhen Hua had delineated subsequent Levels Ten and Eleven, those were for Two-Tribulation and Three-Tribulation, categorized by the number of tribulation types, not by the type itself.
Clearly, after opening his ideas, Zhen Hua could theoretically keep up with Su Ming's ideas.
What held him back was still Spirit Power.
Ultimately, a person's energy was limited. Wanting to simultaneously reach the peak in the fields of Spirit Master cultivation, Spirit Power, spiritual power, and blacksmithing was basically impossible unless one cheated.
With his Trinity status and unreasonable natural talent, Su Ming barely satisfied this condition.
As for Tang Wulin, most of the power on him wasn't cultivated by himself, so strictly speaking Tang Wulin cheated in his Spirit Master cultivation.
Regarding forging, Su Ming had to admit Tang Wulin indeed had talent.
If not for Mang Tian delaying him for a few years, Su Ming estimated he might not have been able to always outperform Tang Wulin in forging.
Of course, during those years delayed by Mang Tian, Tang Wulin's own Spirit Power also couldn't keep up.
But without Mang Tian's delay, Tang Wulin could have better accumulated Thousand Refinement experience, and the subsequent transition would have certainly been smoother.
His thoughts flashed by. Su Ming's attention returned to energy-type Heaven Refinement.
"I will try single-type energy Heaven Refinement first, see what form the energy-type Heaven Refinement within Abyssal laws takes, and then proceed directly with Three-Tribulation Heaven Refinement."
"Finally, attempt the so-called Super Refinement on the third try."
Dividing it into three steps was also to prevent unforeseen changes.
"These three opportunities, needing to be completed consecutively in one go, are probably also the three greatest opportunities. In the future, once the Abyssal Sage King realizes I'm trying to break through the forging realm, he'll definitely guard against me. He might even directly take the initiative to abandon the Demon Plane."
Without the Abyss's anchoring, Su Ming also couldn't use Douluo's laws to anchor the Demon Plane.
And the channel he opened separately itself wasn't highly robust. Once the two planes underwent violent changes, it could collapse at any time.
An environment with the laws of three planes gathered together was still too difficult to assemble.
Su Ming could only complete this fragile situation before him now.
They discussed theories for a full ten days. Su Ming also consciously diverted the flow of Abyssal energy within the grand formation, preparing for the upcoming forging.
Ten days later.
Su Ming performed Heaven Refinement again.
This time, he used Abyssal laws!
Different from demon laws, his expression changed drastically the moment he began forging.
He was still slowly exploring, not even relaxing his vigilance during Hundred Refinement.
However, just as he transitioned from Hundred Refinement to Thousand Refinement, he felt something go wrong.
"Damn!"
The essence deep within Abyssal laws was assimilation and devouring.
Introducing Abyssal laws for forging, the metal's spirituality was also instantly polluted.
In just a short time, Su Ming determined the spirituality of the metal in his hand was almost converted into something of the Abyss.
Even if this metal was successfully forged, it would be an Abyssal product.
"Utterly shameless!"
What does it have to do with your Abyss?
The technique is mine, the forging is done by me, the materials are from Douluo Planet. Why should the forged metal fall under the category of Abyssal creatures?
Although Su Ming cursed inwardly, his hands didn't stop, forging frantically.
He glanced up at the grand formation above, his gaze flickering madly countless times in an instant.
"I'll do it!"
He directly discarded the metal he was currently forging, which had completed Thousand Refinement.
With Thousand Refinement completed, Su Ming understood the fundamental changes under Abyssal law forging and had deduced the process.
He now wanted to directly begin forging Three-Tribulation Heaven Refined metal.
However, the forging technique differed from what he had just discussed with Zhen Hua.
Noticing something was off with Su Ming, Zhen Hua didn't speak up to stop him.
He quietly observed on the side, a pair of forging hammers already unconsciously appearing in his hands, ready to assist Su Ming at any time.
"Three-in-One!"
Su Ming rapidly took out nine different pieces of rare metal.
Among them, three pieces possessed the bloodline power of different spirit beasts, including dragon, phoenix, and qilin. These three rare metals were directly fusion-forged by Su Ming using demon laws.
Another three pieces corresponded to the three elements of wind, fire, and light. Then, special materials corresponding to the attributes of water-earth, darkness, and space had their essence extracted by him, infused into this Three-in-One alloy, forged using Douluo laws.
The final three metals were all the most ordinary metals, not even considered rare metals. He used them for forging with Abyssal laws.
Su Ming paid special attention to the final three rare metals. Using the Spirit Infusion technique, he bestowed the spirituality of his own spirit soul to them. Abyssal laws tried to assimilate their spirituality, and Su Ming directly resisted the Abyss's erosion using his connection with this portion of spirituality.
Open up!
Faith suppressed this assimilation characteristic. Su Ming rapidly completed Thousand Refinements, Spirit Awakened, and then proceeded with fusion forging.
Afterwards, the three Three-in-One metals each underwent Spirit Refinement and Soul Refinement.
Before Heaven Refinement, Su Ming turned to perform fusion forging again.
Beside him, Zhen Hua watched this scene, his complexion changing repeatedly.
No blacksmith before had continued fusion forging after Soul Refinement.
Because the difficulty was high, and the significance wasn't great. If one truly wanted a perfect Spirit Alloy embryo, it was better realized before Soul Refinement.
But Su Ming's situation now was clearly different.
He was performing Three-Tribulation Heaven Refinement.
However, the influence of the laws from three different planes on the metal varied, especially the Abyss's erosion on spirituality being too heavy. Su Ming could only first use a portion of the Three-in-One alloy to complete the introduction of Abyssal laws.
Soul Refinement was the final step before Heaven Refinement. The spirituality of the other two Three-in-One alloys now also had a certain foundation to resist the Abyss's erosion.
"Fuse!"
Su Ming shouted loudly, his forging hammers never stopping, constantly striking the metal before him.
He guided the spiritualities influenced by the three major planar laws to blend with each other.
Amidst resistance, dissolution, everything was being reorganized.
Zhen Hua despondently gave up on observing.
Because this part was no longer forging skill, but comprehension.
It depended on the understanding of different laws and different spiritualities.
Su Ming was regulating the collision of different spiritualities, adjusting the proportion of different laws, thereby maintaining the balance of the overall spirituality.
Soon, fusion forging succeeded.
The Nine-in-One alloy also summoned a heavenly tribulation the moment fusion forging succeeded.
Nine-in-One!
Three Tribulations Arrive Simultaneously!
Zhen Hua's expression changed drastically, rapidly retreating, dispersing the surrounding crowd.
The surroundings were mostly filled with blacksmiths. At this moment, these blacksmiths looked at Su Ming with full-faced fanaticism, shocked by the commotion Su Ming's forging summoned, muttering something lowly. Zhen Hua kicked them awake one by one.
"Still daydreaming? Run if you don't want to die!"
The enormous commotion also attracted the attention of the Blood Gods.
Everyone knew Su Ming had been researching Heaven Refinement techniques recently and had anticipated something.
But the moment Su Ming truly summoned the triple-layer thunder tribulation, their hearts still couldn't take it.
Wait, when it was two tribulations, it wasn't this exaggerated, right?
Why does it feel like the commotion of these three tribulations is at least ten times greater than that of two tribulations?
