1038 Skills Nearing the Dao, Heavenly Seal (2)

It was as if cancer cells had suddenly appeared among the normal cells of the human body.

This substance was actually devouring other forging materials at an extremely high speed.

In the Cosmic Cauldron, the forging materials that looked like stars seemed to have encountered a black hole and were swallowed by the black hole in an instant.

Even the meridians outlined by Zhou Shu with the Heaven Refining Stone were swallowed by the black hole.

This process developed very quickly. Before Zhou Shu could stop it, all the forging materials in the Cosmic Cauldron had already been swallowed by the black hole.

A black object floated in the Cosmic Cauldron and slowly spun.

This black ma.s.s was like a liquid yet like a solid. It kept changing as if someone was kneading it with their hands.

Zhou Shu frowned. He still didnt know what was happening. He had never seen or heard of this black substance.

Even when he had just broken down the golden lotus, he hadnt noticed the existence of this black substance.

Could this be the reason why the golden lotus developed its own consciousness?

Zhou Shu fell into deep thought. Perhaps the golden lotus had developed its own consciousness not because Jun Tian had used a special forging technique but because he had used a special forging material!

Perhaps this black substance had its own consciousness!

Zhou Shus eyes were full of killing intent.

Whatever he wanted to destroy, he would never allow it to come back to life!

Boom!

With a thought from Zhou Shu, a ball of flames erupted inside the Cosmic Cauldron and instantly enveloped the black ma.s.s.

Sizzle

The black ma.s.s seemed to be twisting in pain. Zhou Shu even felt as if he could hear roars.

He was even more certain that this black ma.s.s was the source of the golden lotuss consciousness. It was actually a living forging material!

His gaze was cold as he continued to drive the Cosmic Cauldron.

The Cosmic Cauldron could refine all things. Even the Heaven and Earth Furnace back then was a replica of it. Although it was an exaggeration to say that it could smelt heaven and earth, if some forging material thought it could overturn the heavens in the Cosmic Cauldron, it was underestimating the Cosmic Cauldron and Zhou Shu too much!

The black ma.s.ss struggle became weaker and weaker, and the screams and moans gradually disappeared.

Zhou Shu didnt stop. The last time he smelted the golden lotus, he had already encountered such a situation. This thing even pretended to be dead!

After being tricked once, how could he fall for it a second time?

He continued to drive the Cosmic Cauldron. The flames continued to burn, constantly burning the black ma.s.s.

Impurities were constantly burned out of the black ma.s.s, turning into b.a.l.l.s of black smoke that disappeared into the air. The black ma.s.s was slowly becoming transparent.

As Zhou Shu drove the Cosmic Cauldron, he observed the changes in this black ma.s.s.

He didnt care much about anything else, but his curiosity was aroused when he encountered an unprecedented forging material. He wanted to see what characteristics this material had.

Under Zhou Shus control, the flames in the Cosmic Cauldron kept changing, and the black ma.s.s also kept changing.

After an unknown period of time, half of the black ma.s.s had become transparent.

Half of it was black, and the other was translucent. It looked like a Yin Yang Taiji symbol. At this moment, no matter how Zhou Shu drove the flames of the Cosmic Cauldron, the black ma.s.s no longer faded.

Zhou Shu frowned slightly. It seemed that he needed to change his method.

He formed hand seals, and the flames in the Cosmic Cauldron seemed to come alive. They kept changing, constantly dealing with the black ma.s.s.

Zhou Shu pushed his forging skills to the limit and began to fight the black ma.s.s.

He didnt feel like he was forging now. He felt like he was fighting someone. This ma.s.s of forging materials was his enemy.

Both sides fought with wits and courage. One wanted to survive, and the other was determined to kill the other.

Neither side gave in. They fought back and forth in an exciting see-saw battle.

The black ma.s.s was indeed extremely mysterious. Ordinary forgers would probably not be able to do anything to it.

But Zhou Shu was not an ordinary forger. His forging skills had already reached the realm close to the Dao.

In terms of the Martial Dao, it was equivalent to being an expert at the Grotto-Heaven Master realm.

The Grotto-Heaven Masters were the most powerful group of people that Zhou Shu knew. Even if they faced existences at the Nine Immortals level, they might not be much weaker.

It wasnt too much to say that an expert at such a realm was invincible.

In terms of forging, Zhou Shu had already reached this level.

Facing an invincible forger, even if the black ma.s.s could resist for a moment, it would only die in the end!

Seeing the ma.s.s of black matter finally refined into a nearly transparent existence, Zhou Shu felt a sense of accomplishment. Youre still far from being able to fight me!

Just in case, he continued to drive the Cosmic Cauldron to process the forging materials.

It wasnt until there were no more changes to the forging materials that Zhou Shu was slightly relieved.

Youre just a bunch of forging materials, yet you want to overturn the heavens? How dare you rebel? Zhou Shu sneered. In the end, Im still better.

Looking at the ma.s.s of forging materials, Zhou Shu was surprised to discover that the meridians he had outlined with the Heaven Refining Stone had already fused with the forging materials.

In other words, the ma.s.s of forging materials in front of him was already a connate divine weapon!

Originally, Zhou Shu had planned to use it to forge a sword. But now, even he had no way to change the shape of the connate divine weapon unless he re-smelted it and re-forged it.

Does this count as a divine weapon being born? Zhou Shu thought. This wont be a problem for me.

As he sized up the ma.s.s of forging materials, he revealed a thoughtful expression. A moment later, he formed a seal with both hands and continued to drive the Cosmic Cauldron.

Under Zhou Shus control, the ma.s.s of forging materials slowly changed.

It was impossible for him to forge it into a long sword now. He could only take the opportunity to adjust its appearance slightly.

It was like plastic surgery. It was easy to fail major surgeries, but it was still possible to make slight adjustments.

Time pa.s.sed bit by bit. After an unknown period of time, a rumbling sound finally came from the Cosmic Cauldron.

A seven-colored light soared into the sky. Even the Cosmic Cauldron couldnt isolate it.

Thunder rumbled in the sky as a heavenly tribulation began to condense.

The divine weapon was finally formed!

Although I dont know what the main material, that black substance, is, after I refine it, even Sun Wukong wont be able to escape my grasp. But when I need you to turn the world upside down, you have to do the same, Zhou Shu said. From today onward, your name will be Heavenly Seal!

As soon as he finished speaking, the square divine weapon let out a buzzing sound. On it, the words Heavenly Seal appeared.

Go. After the heavenly tribulation, you will be a new life. Zhou Shu raised his hand, and the Heavenly Seal turned into a stream of light that rushed toward the tribulation clouds in the sky.

Golden light shone brightly, and the Heavenly Seal instantly became the size of a small mountain and collided with the dark clouds in the sky domineeringly.

The dark clouds that condensed lightning instantly dissipated under the impact of the Heavenly Seal. In just a moment, the sky regained clarity. From the beginning to the end, there was no time for a single lightning bolt to strike!

Zhou Shu raised his head, and a golden light descended. On his palm, it transformed into a square seal again.
