Chapter 1667

These years, after the Hunyuan Bell advanced to a top-grade Spiritual Artifact, it has remained silent; no matter how many good things were fed to it, it still remained silent; having accumulated so much, the things it has devoured are enough to forge how many top-grade Spiritual Artifacts; if possible, directly forging a Sacred Artifact would also be possible.

Not to mention many Spiritual Artifact fragments, countless in number, the fragments obtained from trade, that quantity, cannot be counted clearly; only knowing that each trade would let him obtain not a few fragments, whether Spiritual Artifact fragments or various parts of many demon beasts, those parts are all good things; after a little refinement, they can become upper-grade Spiritual Artifacts; such precious things were thrown to the Hunyuan Bell to devour.

Apart from the few good things he was reluctant to give it, Chen Chuyang collected them aside; everything else, he kept none, throwing all in; as for the Hunyuan Bell, no matter how much came, it devoured that much, never feeling it was too much, nor ever feeling satisfied.

Besides these, Chen Chuyang's true qi was also devoured by the Hunyuan Bell; of the true qi gained from cultivation, at least one-tenth was taken by it; the other Spiritual Artifacts, on the contrary, received little nourishment; the Hunyuan Bell is what Chen Chuyang regards most highly, and also his strongest weapon in hand, naturally it must be fed plentifully.

This time, Chen Chuyang will add a fire, letting the Hunyuan Bell complete its transformation; this step requires the Hunyuan Pill Fire to burn; this step is very important and also necessary; the Hunyuan Pill Fire envelops the Hunyuan Bell inside and out, and after advancement, its power increases another level.

Burning out the impurities inside the Hunyuan Bell, meanwhile Chen Chuyang is also strengthening the Hunyuan Bell's formation; the formation previously set up was not strong enough, needing another upgrade; this is also key to advancement.

Burning, strengthening the formation, and also investing some materials, Chen Chuyang's mind began careful modifications, helping the Hunyuan Bell complete this step of advancement; he had formed a preliminary plan in his mind, following the procedure, step by step beginning to help the Hunyuan Bell advance; this step is not that fast, nor is it easy.

Chen Chuyang still needs to do it, do it personally, watching every step, so he can perceive more artifact-crafting techniques; over these years, the Spiritual Artifact fragments he has received have all been studied by him, whether refining methods, formations, or artifact-crafting arts, he has learned them all.

Having merged his own artifact-crafting technique, he formed a unique artifact-crafting technique; his artifact-crafting technique was already not bad, after comprehending the merger it became even stronger, forming Chen Chuyang's one-of-a-kind artifact-crafting technique, just like his pill-refining technique, forming……one of his most formidable techniques.

The two advance side by side, advancing together; pill-refining and artifact-crafting are indeed interconnected.

Half a month's time passed.

The Hunyuan Bell is still changing; the burning, crimson Hunyuan Bell emitted streams of divine might, continually spreading, restricted by Chen Chuyang, yet still radiating considerable pressure; fortunately the room's formation limited it, preventing the Hunyuan Bell from spreading its divine might, otherwise everyone on Longshe Shan would be flattened.

The might of a top-grade Spiritual Artifact is not something they can withstand; the weaker the cultivation, the easier it is to collapse.

Chen Chuyang gazed at the scene before him, his hands continuously inscribing formations, his mind also continually strengthening; every step, every detail, was held in his mind, he dared not be careless, nor miss any detail; the difference between a Sacred Artifact and a Spiritual Artifact is that their cores are not the same.

Sacred Artifact, its pressure boundless, is truly a great killer.

Even Chen Chuyang, so far, has not yet seen a Sacred Artifact; even if he reached Tianwai, he still hasn't seen one.

Cangzhou is big enough, right? Yet he still hasn't seen one; perhaps these Sacred Artifacts are hidden away, not to be seen by him; unless absolutely necessary, those sects would not refine Sacred Artifacts, for a Sacred Artifact requires too much true qi; below the Tribulation Realm, one cannot even activate it, nor bear it.

At most a few breaths, the true qi will be sucked dry, instantly turning into a desiccated corpse; before even moving, he would already be dead.

Even in the Tribulation Realm, it is difficult to sustain the output of true qi.

"Whoosh."

Chen Chuyang gazed at the Hunyuan Bell before him, having reached the final attempt, stuck at this step; he had already tried before, self-breakthrough being unable to achieve this step; now he adds a fire to help the Hunyuan Bell complete advancement; this step is very difficult, Chen Chuyang also knows its difficulty, he must do this; Sacred Artifact and Spiritual Artifact are different, if the Hunyuan Bell completes advancement, he will have one more trump card.

This world will soon be exposed; the Mu Long family certainly won't give up; previously, they couldn't free their hands to deal with him, or rather, they didn't want to share this world with other forces; when the time comes that it cannot be resolved, the Mu Long family will surely let other forces intervene; by then, what he faces will not only be the Mu Long family, but also other Faction forces.

He can protect the people of Longshe Shan, and also protect a region, but ultimately he is just one person; two fists cannot fight four hands; his previous arrangements were meant to prevent this situation from happening; now, most of those arrangements have failed, and many people have died.

Those who survived have not yet grown up; they need time to grow.

"Just the last step remains; this step is very important, the barrier that a Spiritual Artifact must cross to become a Sacred Artifact needs to be crossed."

"Whether the Hunyuan Bell can advance to a Sacred Artifact depends on this attempt."

"Give me a rush."

Both hands quickly formed seals; at the moment the final formation was completed, all materials inside the Hunyuan Bell were completely devoured; a large amount of true qi from Chen Chuyang's body flowed into it, speeding up the Hunyuan Bell's breakthrough process.

The final step, the Hunyuan Bell trembled, emitting a dong-dong sound, shaking heaven and earth.

The whole world was shaking, the laws of heaven and earth were shaking, as if they might collapse at any moment.

Heavenly Dao sealed everything, cutting off Longshe Shan and the whole world, avoiding other forces observing the situation here; they could sense it, but could not know the specific details.

"Hum."

The Hunyuan Bell spun faster, emitting terrifying pressure; immediately after, the Hunyuan Bell shot out of the Longshe Shan formation, hovering in the sky, growing larger and larger, forcibly cutting open the surroundings, forming an independent space.

"Boom—"

Above Longshe Shan, thunderous roars bombarded; the heavenly tribulation was about to descend.

A Spiritual Artifact advancing to a Sacred Artifact requires undergoing tribulation; passing through this heavenly tribulation makes it a Sacred Artifact.

"Heavenly tribulation, Sacred Artifact tribulation, what a strong tribulation."

Chen Chuyang held his hands, his face somewhat pale; prolonged refining had accelerated his consumption, but this was no problem.

He popped two pills, quickly restoring true qi; Chen Chuyang stared at that Hunyuan Bell in the sky, waved his hand, the surrounding space was cut again, letting no one see the Hunyuan Bell nor any situation here.

"Boom—"

The heavenly tribulation descended, bombarding the Hunyuan Bell.
