it is not only the focus of this vast space but also the convergence point of all magic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Encircling the stone platform, intricate magic array patterns stretch around like living creatures, each path glowing softly with white light, layer upon layer weaving into a complex web.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At each corner and intersection of the magic array are embedded countless precious Magic Gems and Extraordinary Materials; they sparkle vividly or shine with brilliant colors, each giving off its unique brilliance, making the whole space resemble a dreamy realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The resonance between external magic power and the tower’s magic array awakens these gems as if they were stars, releasing dazzling and pure light, illuminating the entire space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most striking is how the magic power here is so dense, it seems to have solidified into liquid form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Droplets and strands slowly drip from the tower’s top, gathering at the central stone platform, emitting a faint, crisp sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis can sense that each droplet of magic power contains astonishing energy, gently leaping onto the stone platform, nurturing the treasure offered atop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The treasure is a highly unique single-handed hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hammer’s body is a deep and unique brown-yellow, as if infused with the chill of stars and the weight of the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hammer’s surface isn’t smooth like a mirror but is covered with the intertwining marks of time and power, each texture resembling wrinkles of a mountain range. The latter half of the hammer body is adorned with clusters like natural crystals; these clusters are like stars varying in size, each with a different shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grip part of the warhammer is also intricately carved, easy to hold, and engraved with delicate textures, as if leading the holder to master the hammer’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis looked at the hammer, although it seemed small and exquisite, he could feel the heavy power within it, akin to endless mountain ranges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite hovering above the central stone platform, to Lis, it felt as heavy as a real mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis took a few more glances and then softly asked Tomun beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing, Tomun finally remembered the purpose of their visit, withdrew his awe-stricken gaze, and explained to Lis:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the Half-God Artifact [Mountain Soul’s Fury]!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forged by the former Master Forger Lars Gak under the guidance of All Gods, deep within the Jianuo Mountain Range.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This warhammer was granted divine power by the God of Minerals and Gems, Du Masong, upon completion, transforming and advancing into a Half-God Artifact.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"[Mountain Soul’s Fury] was forged by Master Lars using Meteorite Iron and Heart of the Mountain as the base, undergoing forty-nine days of unquenchable flame refining and fusion, ultimately forging successfully.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",908,"2026-06-03T10:58:52.165Z","2026-06-03T10:58:58.216Z",1,"novelbin.me","50714504f9249956cd43502a8fe1d121ce6f1f92e9c7639871b5b9245fec6a0e","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1222","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1220",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
