Chapter 242 – Artifact Forged! Stepping into Terrifying Million Combat Power!

“The World Stones should be sufficient as well!” Ye Sheng looked into his Spatial Bracelet, where a thousand World Stones lay.

The World Stones were pitch black all over, as clear and translucent as colored glaze crystals, emitting spatial energy.

This was a special material he had never seen before, and he had no idea where it originated from.

But the Immortal Puppet had reminded him that obtaining World Stones was extremely difficult and they were exceedingly precious.

“A thousand pieces! That should be enough to forge a Heaven-grade artifact!”

According to the forging method mentioned, a thousand World Stones should be more than enough.

“Let’s begin!”

Ye Sheng took a deep breath. This time, the ‘Heaven-grade artifact’ he was going to forge would take the form of a Black Throne.

He was quite looking forward to it!

The great hall was quiet and secluded, making it most suitable for seclusion. Moreover, being within the Great Emperor’s Dao Field of the Taixuan Jizhen Cave Heaven, there was naturally no need to worry about being disturbed.

Boom!

Ye Sheng sat cross-legged on a cushion. In the next second, following the forging method, he ignited his blood, using his physical body as the furnace!

In an instant, invisible flames ignited within Ye Sheng’s body. His skin instantly turned red-hot, radiating astonishing heat.

This was also thanks to his Ghost King Realm physique. If it were a 4th Revolution Ghost Sect Realm physique, it would likely have melted instantly.

For a time, Ye Sheng sat there, his body emitting terrifying high temperatures that caused the void within the great hall to begin distorting.

One black World Stone after another flew out from the Spatial Bracelet, a full thousand pieces arranged in the air.

“Devour!”

Seeing this, Ye Sheng dared not delay. Following the forging method, he opened his mouth and inhaled. The thousand black World Stones immediately shrank and flew toward his mouth.

After swallowing all thousand World Stones into his body, the temperature within Ye Sheng’s body rose once again.

The burning of his blood became even more ferocious, providing terrifying heat to begin dissolving the thousand World Stones.

This process would be extremely slow.

According to the forging method, it would take ten days to complete.

Ye Sheng was not in a hurry either. Closing his eyes, he began the tedious process of dissolution.

…

Time flew by!

On the final day of the ten-day period, the last black World Stone within Ye Sheng’s body had completely melted.

By now, the thousand black World Stones had been completely dissolved into a mass of black liquid, surging irregularly.

Within this black liquid, thin strands of blood were mixed in.

These blood strands were Ye Sheng’s blood. Over the ten days, Ye Sheng had continuously used his blood as fuel to smelt the World Stones, so his blood naturally kept merging into it, achieving perfect fusion.

This was an indispensable step in refining a Lifebound Artifact.

It was the foundation for Ye Sheng’s Lifebound Artifact to be connected with his own will!

“The first step, dissolution, is complete. The second step is shaping, which is extremely crucial! Not the slightest mistake can be allowed!” After completing the first step, Ye Sheng did not relax at all; instead, he became even more serious.

The second step involved shaping step by step according to the Heaven-Grade Forging Method and crafting the details.

This required even more patience!

Not a single step could go wrong. The slightest mistake would affect the power of the Lifebound Artifact!

…

This shaping process alone took Ye Sheng a full three months.

During these three months, the doors of the great hall remained closed.

During this period, Shu Mingxiu, Gu Qingren, and Ruan Fang would occasionally gaze toward the great hall.

Ever since Ye Sheng broke through to the 5th Revolution Ghost King Realm that day, the pressure on the three of them had increased dramatically.

Each of them had intensified their efforts, wanting to catch up with Ye Sheng’s progress.

As fellow registered disciples of Emperor Lord Dongxuan, the three of them did not wish to fall behind others.

Especially Shu Mingxiu, who harbored a strong determination to surpass Ye Sheng.

Setting aside the anxiety of the three.

At this moment, an extraordinary scene was unfolding within Ye Sheng’s grand hall!

In the center of the hall, a massive Black Throne hovered in the Void.

The Black Throne exuded an aura of majesty and power, and since ancient times, thrones have symbolized supreme authority and status, compelling those who beheld it to instinctively show reverence.

Clad in white robes, Ye Sheng sat upright upon the Black Throne.

With his eyes closed, countless black threads, under his control, meticulously carved and perfected every detail of the Black Throne, bringing it ever closer to perfection!

After an unknown length of time, when the final missing corner on the armrest of the Black Throne was flawlessly restored, the aura of the entire throne suddenly became unified and complete!

Boom!

As the Black Throne’s aura unified, rolling black clouds surged forth from it, filling the entire hall and accompanied by a heavy, oppressive force that radiated outward.

For a moment, the hall was engulfed in billowing black clouds, with a Black Throne positioned horizontally and a figure in white robes seated upon it.

This sight was truly awe-inspiring!

An ordinary person witnessing it would likely be unable to resist kneeling and paying homage to the figure upon the throne.

Whoosh!

Upon the Black Throne, Ye Sheng abruptly opened his eyes, yet in that instant, a deep weariness flickered in the depths of his gaze.

To forge this throne, Ye Sheng had expended nearly all his mental energy over the course of nearly a hundred days! Every detail required his personal craftsmanship, akin to sculpting a work of art, striving for flawless perfection in every aspect.

“Finally complete!”

Ye Sheng pinched the bridge of his nose, dispelling a trace of fatigue. Though his mental energy had been greatly depleted, the rewards were satisfying to him.

The moment the Magical Artifact, the Black Throne, was completed, Ye Sheng sensed a powerful amplification of his Combat Power!

This value reached an ‘amplification of three hundred thousand’!

This was somewhat astonishing!

Three hundred thousand Combat Power! This was equivalent to the Combat Power of a Peak Beginner Tier.

In other words, relying solely on this Black Throne, one could step into the Peak Domain!

“With the three hundred thousand Combat Power amplification from the Black Throne, my own Combat Power has successfully entered the ranks of ‘Million Combat Power’!” Ye Sheng declared.

He then released his Combat Power.

In an instant, Ye Sheng’s aura became utterly terrifying!

The aura of Million Combat Power enveloped the entire hall, causing the air to solidify.

Whoosh!

Ye Sheng retracted his aura, returning to a state of calm.

This Million Combat Power was composed of the Heavenly Manifestation, the Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit, the Black Throne, and various other aspects, with a total value not exceeding 1.07 million!

Although he was now on the same level as Jian Mingzi, Ye Sheng understood that there was likely still a significant gap between them.

This was only natural.

Jian Mingzi had enrolled three years earlier than him.

In those three years, it was sufficient for Jian Mingzi to cultivate all his abilities to their strongest within the 5th Revolution Ghost King Realm.

As for himself, he had only just stepped into the 5th Revolution Realm, leaving immense room for growth.

At the very least, compared to students of the same cohort, Ye Sheng estimated that he was now the foremost among them!

Likely no one could match his progress.

“If I encounter a 5th Revolution Ghost King from the Divine Coffin Organization again, I will have nothing to fear!” Ye Sheng said.

Though he might not yet equal Jian Mingzi, Million Combat Power was ultimately extremely formidable.

Not every Ghost King could step into the Million Combat Power Domain.

An ordinary Ghost King reaching level 100 Perfection only attains six hundred thousand Combat Power, which is a vast gap from one million Combat Power!

One million Combat Power can easily crush them.

Among the 5th Revolution Ghost Kings, although Ye Sheng is just beginning, he already possesses the foundation to stand his ground!
