Chapter 426: Half-Done Dharmic Armament!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

To Wang Baole, after he achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation and perfected Foundation Establishment realm, events that made him excited happened one after another. For example, Lin Tianhao sent a voice transmission to Wang Baole the next day to inform him that he had already prepared all the materials and Artifact Spirits needed for refining Dharmic Armaments!

The materials needed to refine Dharmic Armaments were exorbitantly priced. That was especially so for the core materials. To a certain extent, it was a controlled resource that was difficult to purchase. Even if one wanted to buy it, they didn’t know where to find it.

The megaphone that Wang Baole wanted to refine required additional materials in order for its sound to be widespread. That caused Lin Tianhao to put in a lot of effort in garnering all the necessary materials, such that he activated all his connections, even roping in Kong Dao and Jin Duoming for the search. Even so, they took a long time before finding everything, which showed how challenging it was to find those materials.

In addition, the Artifact Spirits posed a challenge as well. Firstly, the beast spirits that could become an Artifact Spirit needed to be undamaged when extracted from the ferocious beast. That was difficult on its own, and the level of difficulty increased with the strength of the ferocious beast.

At the same time, in order to complement the Dharmic Armament, Wang Baole described the mightiness of his Dharmic Armament to Lin Tianhao, so that Lin Tianhao could understand what kind of Artifact Spirit to find to meet Wang Baole’s needs. The one that could complement the Dharmic Armament must be able to give out a deafening roar. Therefore, after a long search and several delays, Lin Tianhao finally found the spirit of a tiger beast that was of Foundation Establishment realm cultivation.

Even though it wasn’t a perfect match to use this spirit as the Artifact Spirit, it was the best he could find.

Wang Baole was already extremely pleased with all this. Therefore, when Lin Tianhao sent the items to him, he immediately went into seclusion. He was going to prepare for the initial refinement stage of the Dharmic Armament before integrating the Artifact Spirit to form a complete Dharmic Armament. The Dharmic Armament would then be used in an attempt to draw the remnant fragments of the god consciousness that existed between heaven and earth, so that with the clash formed by the Heaven and Earth power, it would eventually become a seventh-grade Dharmic Armament!

Wang Baole wasn’t entirely confident of its success, but he decided to try it out nonetheless. Furthermore, in preparation for this round of refinement, he had played out and analyzed everything in his mind several times. He constantly thought about the steps involved at every stage. At the same time, with regards to the Heavenly Evocation segment, Wang Baole had entered a fugue state many times in order to further understand it since returning from the research facility.

Right now, with everything well-prepared, Wang Baole, who was in his secret chamber, took a deep breath as a look of anticipation was revealed in his eyes. However, he knew that the process of Dharmic Armament refinement shouldn’t involve major swings in emotions, which could cause him to lose his calmness. The slightest mistake would lead to failure of the entire refinement process.

Therefore, Wang Baole didn’t start the refinement process immediately. Instead, he shut his eyes and meditated in order to calm himself down. Two hours later, as the sun set, Wang Baole suddenly opened his eyes. A glow flashed across his face as he immersed himself in a state of extreme peace.

In that peacefulness, Wang Baole took out the materials that Lin Tianhao had sent and began the process of refinement. In his hands, every single piece of material was caressed in detail. In the process, his cultivation and his thoughts were integrated into the materials, which resulted in Wang Baole growing extremely familiar with them like the back of his hands. His confidence grew, and that was when he began making the Spirit Kernel!

The process of producing the Spirit Kernel had been played out countless times in Wang Baole’s mind. Therefore, he was extremely efficient at refining it and could do it at a very fast speed. Wang Baole’s hands were sturdy, and he knew which direction to proceed. There was no hint of chaos, and anyone who observed him would find the entire process pleasing, as if everything was following nature’s course.

The Spirit Kernel, which was made from perfect Spirit Stones, formed gradually in Wang Baole’s hands. With the completion of the Spirit Kernel, the next step would be inscribing the inscriptions. That was a difficult step, but to Wang Baole, who knew the formula, he could still proceed at high speed. Since he had already analyzed the process for a long time, he was ready to take on any difficulty.

Soon, inscriptions appeared one by one on the Spirit Kernel. The number of inscriptions grew and integrated with each other to a certain extent, even seeping into the Spirit Kernel’s interior, but it was still not considered complete to Wang Baole—despite them densely covering the Spirit Kernel.

After all, a Dharmic Armament was different from a Dharmic Artifact, and there was naturally a difference in the requirements of the inscriptions. Therefore, despite the Spirit Kernel being densely covered by the inscriptions, Wang Baole continued to inscribe even more inscriptions on the existing ones—overlaying them!

Time passed quickly in this manner. He used four hours to refine the Spirit Kernel and four days to inscribe the inscriptions. When the inscribing process had been completed, Wang Baole grew pale. Even with his level of cultivation, he had already reached his limits, having focused wholeheartedly throughout the four days without stopping or making mistakes.

When dealing with a Dharmic Armament, the inscription process should never be interrupted and had to be completed in one go. The requirements were only met when momentum was kept and when the inscriptions were all carved in one go. That was an extremely challenging task for many refinement masters.

Having completed that, Wang Baole needed to shut his eyes and take a night’s rest. On the morning of the fifth day, he opened his eyes and began the process of strengthening the materials. The whole process lasted three days. As the precious materials were integrated into the Spirit Kernel, the shape of the Dharmic Armament gradually appeared, growing clearer by the minute.

On the evening of the ninth day of his seclusion, a red-colored megaphone appeared before Wang Baole. It was crimson red, appearing as if it had just been taken out of lava. It was hot to the touch and looked extremely impressive.

Its ferocity far exceeded that of a sixth-grade Dharmic Artifact. However, Wang Baole also knew without a doubt that, as a result of using different materials, it surpassed a sixth-grade Dharmic Artifact. However, right now, the megaphone wasn’t seventh-grade and could only be considered a perfect sixth-grade at most.

What’s next is the Artifact Spirit... A flash appeared across Wang Baole’s eyes. He picked up a jade box that was placed beside him. The jade box was blue in color and cold to the touch. It appeared that it had been specially made for storage purposes.

The spirit of the Foundation Establishment realm tiger beast was sealed within the jade box. As Wang Baole’s cultivation was integrated within, the deafening roar of a tiger suddenly sounded by his ears. The roar carried a sense of madness and indignation, as well as the desire to break free.

A True Breath realm cultivator would be gripped with fear listening to the noiseless roar by the beast spirit. If they weren’t cautious, they would be so shaken that their spirits would be devastated and broken into pieces.

However, to Wang Baole, someone who had reached the perfected Foundation Establishment realm, his cultivation was sufficient for him to suppress the spirit. Therefore, he remained calm as he opened the jade box, gripping it with his right hand. The tiger’s roar grew even louder as a black fog emerged directly from the box, forming a black tiger beast. A ruthless cloud, which appeared to be backlash, charged towards Wang Baole’s face.

However, before it neared, Wang Baole, who was sitting with his legs crossed, snorted coldly. The Heavenly Thunder in his body spun, and flashes of lightning gathered in Wang Baole’s eyes. Instantaneously, the ferocious tiger beast trembled, revealing a look of fear. It wanted to retreat but was too late. Wang Baole raised his right hand and grabbed hold of the tiger spirit, pressing it towards the megaphone.

The instant he pressed the tiger spirit into the megaphone, Wang Baole immediately activated his hand seals to operate the inscriptions on the megaphone. At the same time, according to the process of Spirit Integration, he continuously activated the inscriptions while putting in all the materials that he hadn’t included into the megaphone as he proceeded with the Dharmic Artifact’s refinement!

This time, he was refining it together with the tiger spirit. The roar of the tiger spirit reverberated continuously, but Wang Baole remained calm. He steadily carried out the process of refinement. In this way, the roar of the tiger spirit gradually weakened. Three days passed, and the tiger spirit was eventually completely integrated with the Dharmic Artifact!

Finally, the megaphone that appeared before Wang Baole looked to have been transformed again. It was still red in color, but a light ray seemed to surround it. If one were to take a closer look, one could see that the light ray was that of a ferocious illusory tiger spirit!

The ferocity of the Dharmic Armament far exceeded that previously experienced. Even though it didn’t become a Dharmic Armament, it was a seventh-grade Dharmic Artifact to a certain extent.

The next step would be to attract a god’s consciousness! Wang Baole couldn’t suppress his agitation and anticipation as he took a deep breath in an effort to calm himself down. He waved his hand, and his two Dharmic Armaments appeared. He pressed on them and entered a fugue state!

While he was in a fugue state, two weeks passed in seclusion. The new city was as before, but for Chen Mu, the dandelions that he had dispersed had all found an owner. That was especially so in the case of the donkey. It was personally taken care of by Chen Mu, and was such a glutton that thirty percent of the dandelions were in its body!

This even shocked Chen Mu. However, when he thought about the pitiful state that the donkey would soon be in, his smile grew even more cruel and cold, and a look of anticipation flashed extremely clearly in his eyes.

Soon, it will all be completed!
