Chapter 1028 (The Blade that Eradicates Humanity)

Jing Tiandi had been observing Ye Hua's expressions. Initially pleased to see surprise and fear in Ye Hua's eyes, his emotions transformed into excitement afterward.

'What was there to be excited about? What was there to be excited about? Despair should be the expression you should have!

In fact, this was the second time Jing Tiandi brought out this blade!

Jing Tiandi treated it as if he were caressing his own child. This was his lifelong masterpiece, the only one of its kind in the entire world!

With a proud tone, Jing Tiandi spoke in a low voice, "I call this weapon Emberfall."

"Emberfall? A good name. Is the dark red colour forged from quenching with the Mystical Fire?" Ye Hua speculated, sensing a hint of unusual fire.

Ye Hua's guess actually surprised Jing Tiandi for a moment. He had unexpectedly guessed one of the materials right. Indeed, not bad, quite insightful.

"Exactly, but the Mystical Fire isn't used for quenching; it's injected and then tempered with Mystical Fire!" Jing Tiandi explained with a master's demeanour.

Upon hearing Jing Tiandi's words, Ye Hua furrowed his brows tightly. The words may sound simple, but executing them was extremely challenging!

It required a high level of proficiency in controlling Mystical Fire, much like integrating Mystical Fire. Even Ye Hua, until now, hadn't mastered the fusion completely. Although his daughter, Ah Li, has been playing with it for years, making Ye Hua, as a father, feel somewhat embarra.s.sed.

It was also Ye Hua's first time hearing about the ability to embed Mystical Fire into a weapon as a material. Had he not seen it with his own eyes, it would have sounded like a lie.

Mystical Fire, once inserted into a weapon, would go out of control, absolutely becoming violent. Attempting to temper it with Mystical Fire was a joke; how hadn't he blown himself up!

Ye Hua had tried it, but Mystical Fire was too fierce. Even Ye Hua didn't dare to forcefully merge with it. This showcased the tremendous power of Mystical Fire.

Observing Ye Hua's peculiar expression, Jing Tiandi felt a sense of accomplishment. This guy could boast about it for a lifetime, but he didn't dare to reveal such a weapon. Once exposed, his family would be in danger.

Why did he take it now? Because he thought he could kill Ye Hua. A dead man could surely keep a secret.

"In fact, Mystical Fire is just one of the materials; there are a total of six top-tier materials! I spent my whole life searching for these six materials! Only success, no failure!" Jing Tiandi held Emberfall, and his gaze was burning with fervour. If possible, how he wished to wield this blade to conquer the world!

Don't mention it, even Ye Hua now wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h it. Emberfall was simply too tempting.

"Besides two types of Mystical Fire, what are the other four?" Ye Hua curiously asked. At this moment, Ye Hua resembled a student, asking questions when he didn't understand.

Jing Tiandi wasn't afraid of anything; after all, this guy was going to die.

"The other four materials, I'm afraid you've never heard of them."

Ye Hua felt like he was about to be choked to death. This was definitely dangling a carrot in front of him.

"Anyway, I'm about to die. Just tell me; let me admire you a bit." Ye Hua hurriedly said. If it were the previous Ye Hua, he would have probably let it go, but now, Ye Hua had acquired a semblance of humanity and knew when to be tactful.

The feeling of being admired was great. Jing Tiandi snorted coldly, "I'll tell you. Do you know what Bloodgold is?"

Ye Hua shook his head. Did he know? He had never heard of it.

"Bloodgold originated from the Primordial era, an extremely precious metal at that time, the only metal capable of withstanding Mystical Fire. What's now called primordial divine artifacts are, in fact, fake!"

Ye Hua nodded solemnly. It seemed he needed to check his treasury. If it could withstand Mystical Fire, then it truly was a primordial divine artifact. If not, it was a fake.

Jing Tiandi continued, "Even if it's a primordial divine artifact, it isn't forged from Bloodgold because Bloodgold lacks the required toughness."

Ye Hua: "..."

'You d.a.m.n tease, are you flirting with me!?'

"So! At this point, we need another material! It's called Jade Chalice! It's the tentacle of the primordial fierce beast Jade Spirit! Jade Spirit is extremely rare, and to refine Jade Chalice, you need the tentacles of a hundred Jade Spirits!"

Ye Hua nodded. He had heard of the primordial fierce beast Jade Spirit. Its tentacles were indeed a material that could reinforce other materials. However, he had never heard of cutting down a hundred of them to refine Jade Chalice, as Jade Spirit was already scarce. Where would one find so many Jade Spirits? Making a weapon like this would likely lead to the extinction of the species.

"What are the other two?" Ye Hua asked curiously.

"Ignition of the Astral Flame!"

Okay, Ye Hua had never heard of it. It felt like he had just arrived from the countryside to the city, completely ignorant.

This was embarra.s.sing.

"How do you ignite the Astral Flame?" Ye Hua asked.

"Astral Flame requires three artifacts! These are disposable artifacts: the Crimson Flame Demon G.o.d Mirror, the Void Scroll, and the Soul of the Supreme!"

Ye Hua sighed lightly. Bulls.h.i.+t!

Wielding heavenly fire required so many conditions. He had never heard the first two mentioned. The last one, the Soul of the Supreme, was probably the easiest to obtain among them.

"What's the last one?" Ye Hua continued to ask.

"Harmony Soul!"

At the mention of Harmony Soul, Jing Tiandi's expression turned extremely unpleasant.

However, Ye Hua was puzzled. What the h.e.l.l was Harmony Soul? d.a.m.n it, he had never heard of it.

"What does Harmony Soul mean?"

"The soul of a loved one!" Jing Tiandi said in a deep voice.

That's right! Jing Tiandi used the soul of his most beloved wife! He used her soul to create this weapon!

At that time, Jing Tiandi had entered a state of madness, single-mindedly wanting to forge an unparalleled weapon. He hadn't thought about it much at the time.

Even Jing Wushen was unaware of this matter. If Jing Wushen found out that his father harmed his mother for the sake of a broken knife, he would never forgive him. To turn his mother into a demented person for the sake of a weapon, it was an act of irreversible regret.

When Emberfall was forged, Jing Tiandi clearly felt a familiar sensation. Gripping this blade felt like holding hands with a loved one. That feeling could destroy the world. No wonder they said the soul of a loved one was needed. It turns out they were seeking that specific sensation!

However, when Jing Tiandi regained his senses, it was too late for regrets. He never took out Emberfall again and tried everything to cure his wife.

But his wife's soul was gone. Where could he find it?

However, in an ancient book, Jing Tiandi discovered that Supreme Soul could heal those without a soul.

So, he agreed to the Emperor's request to bring back his wife. It was all his own fault.

When Ye Hua heard this final requirement, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. The earlier conditions could be obtained with time, but the last one...

Even Ye Hua wasn't that heartless!

Using the soul of a loved one to forge a blade was simply an act of extinguis.h.i.+ng humanity!
