Chapter 3247: Reforging the Battle Sword

Heaven Fire Ancestor explained to him: "This is your destined battle weapon; the effect of others forging it is far inferior to what you forge yourself. Moreover, you have such strong Fire Flame Power!"

Ye Liuyun also asked Heaven Fire Ancestor about the forging methods for the clone's Tianchi and the Golden Sword, and the methods turned out to be the same.

He then went to confirm with Qiong Qi, who also said that the destined battle weapon is best forged by its master, so it can harmonize more closely with the master.

Of course, if the master lacks Fire Flame Power, then one can only seek help from others.

"Your Fire Flame Power surpasses even Heaven Fire Ancestor's; having him refine it is truly not as good as you refining it yourself."

Moreover, the refining is very simple. Your sword already possesses its own Divine Sense; you just place the materials together with it, and it will absorb them on its own!

The clone's sword is the same; its original attributes won't change, so you can safely forge it!

Qiong Qi's statement, in fact, aligns with Heaven Fire Ancestor's.

Thus Ye Liuyun began gathering refining materials. He turned over all the mineral resources he collected in the macro‑heaven dynasty's Treasure Vault, and with Heaven Fire Ancestor, Qiong Qi, Tong Xin and other refiners, they uncovered two very special metals.

They could not name these metals, but they felt distinct and unusually sturdy; at least the current Demon Slaying Sword cannot split them, and refining them is also very laborious.

Ye Liuyun didn't care what the material was; as long as the Demon Slaying Sword deemed it good, it would absorb it itself, and it would not absorb useless stuff.

Afterward he released that Metal Puppet, pondering whether to refine it. Unexpectedly, his War God Armor was very supportive and also wanted to absorb some of the Metal Puppet's material together.

"I knew you were all thinking about the Kuailei's material!" Ye Liuyun was also amused by them.

He decided to refine this Kuailei. Its realm is low, only the material is unusual. Moreover, not only the Demon Slaying Sword and his War God Armor, but also the two clone swords need upgrading, as do Ye Tiandao's and A Xing's swords…

Ye Liuyun now worries that this single Metal Puppet isn't enough to share.

"Refine as much as you can; the rest can be dealt with when materials are found later. First forge the Demon Slaying Sword; the War God Armor just leveled up, so it can be placed later."

If others' swords lack material, we'll deal with it when we encounter it later.

After deciding, Ye Liuyun immediately began refining, first tossing the prepared materials into the Nine Dragon Swallowing Heaven Cauldron, then using two flames alternately to melt all the metals into liquid.

However, just the two metals he uncovered took him a full day to refine. The Metal Puppet required two days before it was completely liquefied.

Then it tossed the Demon Slaying Sword into it, letting it absorb on its own.

The Demon Slaying Sword was unabashed; upon entering it first melted its own body, then began voraciously absorbing, almost taking in half of the entire Metal Puppet. When it could absorb no more, it stopped, allowing Ye Liuyun to reshape it.

"You absorbed so much metal—where did it all go? That huge Metal Puppet, you absorbed half of it, yet we don't see you grow!"

Ye Liuyun couldn't help but complain, estimating that the remaining material wouldn't even suffice to upgrade the clone's sword.

The Demon Slaying Sword's Divine Sense merely chuckled and gave no reply.

But since it was already like this, he couldn't let the Demon Slaying Sword expel the absorbed metal; he could only feed it a strand of his own Soul, merging it into its original Soul to strengthen its Divine Sense.

Then he cut his palm, letting his fresh blood drip in, so it could absorb the bloodline's power and reshape.

When the Demon Slaying Sword solidified, he didn't remove it, but let it remain in the Swallowing Heaven Cauldron for tempering.

He and his two clones together fed Golden Crow Holy Fire, Nether Ghost Fire, and the Thunder and Lightning Power's thunder spirit into it, while commencing tempering of the Demon Slaying Sword.

The Demon Slaying Sword was quite excited, continuously emitting a joyful buzzing sound.

The Demon Slaying Sword was tempered in the Swallowing Heaven Cauldron for over a month, until it no longer sensed those three forces, then it leapt out on its own for Ye Liuyun to examine.

Ye Liuyun didn't wait for it indefinitely. Since his Fire Flame Power and Thunder and Lightning Power each have their own spirit intelligence, he let them assist the tempering together.

Ye Liuyun glanced at it, feeling its appearance unchanged. He then took it to cleave a void‑tier weapon, and with a "swish", easily sliced a massive axe as if cutting tofu.

"Buzz!" the Demon Slaying Sword buzzed excitedly again.

"Alright, I'll count that you didn't waste that many materials."

Ye Liuyun was relatively satisfied with its performance, planning to later have someone test it to see what rank of treasure or weapon it can cleave.

Subsequently he tossed the War God Armor into the Swallowing Heaven Cauldron, letting it also raise its rank.

The War God Armor doesn't need refining; it simply absorbs the metallic liquid bit by bit, much slower than the Demon Slaying Sword.

After Ye Liuyun threw it in, he no longer tended to it, instead taking the Demon Slaying Sword to spar with the void‑tier double metal Puppet Beast. The Puppet Beast was instantly slashed open by the sword.

Ye Liuyun, fearing the Demon Slaying Sword might damage the metal Puppet Beast, called off the fight and retrieved it, letting it return to quietly merge Soul power and enhance its spirit intelligence.

Then he and his clones continued their cultivation.

After more than ten days, the War God Armor advanced in rank again. It sensed Ye Liuyun, prompting him to pause cultivation and check its status.

"Master, I have reached Void Tier Fourth Rank and can boost your attack power!" the War God Armor reported excitedly to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun hadn't expected that this fellow could ascend another rank and enhance his own attack power.

He immediately summoned the War God Armor onto himself, threw a punch to feel its amplification. Indeed, although the boost wasn't large—less than ten percent—it was a genuine increase.

"The higher my rank, the greater my boost to you!" the War God Armor told Ye Liuyun.

"Good!" Ye Liuyun replied happily. In the Taixu realm, being just a bit stronger than others already creates a gap.

He let the War God Armor continue to nurture its growth, and checked the remaining materials, discovering the armor had already absorbed all the leftover metal.

The remaining metallic liquid was essentially impurities stripped from the Demon Slaying Sword's body.

Ye Liuyun could do nothing about it; the clone's war sword would have to wait for future material to upgrade.

Thus he released the clones, intending to recall the Fire Flame Power and Thunder and Lightning Power.

But when they saw those Fire Flame Power and Thunder and Lightning Power spirits, all three were stunned.
