Chapter 1266 The Hammer of Vulcan is Given to the Golden-Armored Corpse King
Back in the Ragnarok world, Chen Yang and Qiao Qiumeng traveled together to the Flame Continent, where they obtained many valuable items, including fire-attribute spiritual herbs, fire spirit stones, and the magic cores of fire-elemental spirit beasts…
A fiery red crystal the size of an egg, resembling a red-hot branding iron, seemed to contain a sea of fire.
This is the magic core of the Fire Scale Crocodile!
In addition, there are Fire Gold Vine, Heavenly Flame Fruit, Sunflame Grass, Fire Spirit Stone...
Although these things were all very valuable, Chen Yang was not stingy at all.
After all, the Golden Armored Corpse King was serving him; to put it nicely, it was a guardian deity of the Xuanhuang Dao Sect; to put it bluntly, it was Chen Yang's battle slave. Therefore, forging a superior weapon for the Golden Armored Corpse King would be of immense benefit to Chen Yang.
boom!
A Fire-Scale Crocodile Demon Core the size of an egg, when integrated into Thor's Hammer, transformed the entire hammer into a sea of fire. There was no need for Suzaku Xiaoli to unleash any more flames.
Chen Yang even discovered an unexpected benefit: fusing the Fire Scale Crocodile's magic core, along with other fire spirit stones and fire spirit herbs, allowed the fragments of Thor's Hammer to fuse even more thoroughly. Even when Chen Yang used his powerful divine sense to examine them, he couldn't find any cracks or hidden damage.
In about a week, this Thor's hammer—no, it should be called the hammer of Vulcan, or the hammer of Vulcan—was completely forged. Its shape was exactly the same as the original Thor's hammer, and its size and weight were almost identical.
The hammer handle is the same as before, made from a branch of the World Tree. It's sturdy enough that it won't break after a few swings.
Once the hammer was forged, Chen Yang prepared to give it to the Golden Armored Corpse King to see how effective it was.
At this time, Yun Jinxiu's refinement of the Thunder Beast Demon Core was almost complete, with only a piece the size of a peanut remaining.
At this moment, Yun Jinxiu was completely enjoying herself, without the pain she had experienced during the initial tempering.
Strands of true lightning essence flowed into her body, as bright as the morning glow and exuding fragrance. Yun Jinxiu not only transformed into a human-shaped lightning bolt, enveloped in a ball of blazing lightning, but also had bursts of Daoist chanting emanating from her body, as if a powerful being was reciting scriptures. They were indistinct and not very clear, but they made people feel clear-headed and captivated.
In particular, a faint glow emanated from between her eyebrows, indicating that the gate to her sea of consciousness had been opened, and abundant spiritual energy was gathering. Even the true essence of thunder surged into her sea of consciousness, tempering her soul and helping her open the barriers of the nine layers of her sea of consciousness.
To some extent, she has now entered the realm of refining the spirit, belonging to a powerful being of the divine realm.
This is not an illusion, but a genuine increase in strength.
Everything went as Chen Yang had predicted. The magic core of a Thunder Beast was as potent as several high-grade medicines, enough to propel an ordinary person to the Grandmaster level. As for Yun Jinxiu, who was born with a special physique, she could reach the Divine Realm in one step.
Lightning is one of the most powerful forces in the world, representing destruction. Some say it is the wrath of the heavens, a means of divine punishment. Even the most powerful beings must bow their noble heads before lightning.
Because lightning represents destruction, the accompanying life force is all the more precious.
The ultimate destruction is life, and the ultimate life is destruction. The two complement each other, which shows that there is no absolute destruction or absolute rebirth in this world.
If the life force within lightning can be utilized effectively, the benefits it brings are unimaginable.
At this moment, Yun Jinxiu was using the life force in the lightning to temper her physical body, achieving a complete transformation and metamorphosis.
With each wisp of Thunder Dao True Essence flowing into her body, lightning would burst forth from her body, and the light between her brows would suddenly brighten. Her flesh and blood would become almost translucent, as if carved from divine jade, without a single flaw, radiant and dazzling. One could even see her internal organs.
Even her appearance has changed somewhat, becoming more beautiful, plump and smooth.
Her skin looked tender, like that of a newborn baby, but Chen Yang knew that Yun Jinxiu, after her transformation, possessed a body of steel.
On the ground, you can see some old skin that has fallen off, like a snake shedding its skin or a cicada shedding its shell; this is a kind of rebirth.
Seeing that Yun Jinxiu would be alright, and having completely regained control of his rhythm, and with the Thunder Beast's magic core about to be fully refined, Chen Yang was no longer worried. Carrying the newly forged Vulcan Hammer, he went to the valley outside.
In the valley, birds sang and flowers bloomed, the flowers were more vibrant, and the grass was greener. Flowers that normally only grew to the size of a bottle cap were now the size of a palm, while those that were originally only the size of a palm had grown to the size of a brick, or even a washbasin.
This is the benefit of abundant spiritual energy; it can deeply revitalize life force.
In other words, an environment rich in spiritual energy can unlock the genetic shackles of life, whether it be plants, animals, or humans.
The reason why life on Earth was generally larger and trees were towering in the sky was because of this.
Wu Yan'er, Wu Xue'er, Wu Shanhe, Miss White Fox, and the Golden Armored Corpse King are all cultivating diligently.
When Chen Yang stepped out of the cave, the first one to open his eyes was the Golden Armored Corpse King, which showed that his spiritual sense was superior to that of the others.
The second one to open her eyes was Miss White Fox.
"Honey, you've finally come out."
With a crisp, sweet cry, Miss White Fox vanished from her spot, transforming into a streak of white light as she pounced on Chen Yang.
Wu Shanhe and his two twin granddaughters then opened their eyes and discovered that Chen Yang had arrived in the valley.
"Master."
"Master."
Both women rushed towards Chen Yang.
"Old Jin, try out this hammer. Oh, by the way, go outside and test it out. If you like it, you can have it."
As he spoke, Chen Yang casually threw the hammer at the golden-armored corpse king.
Although it was just a casual toss, seemingly without much force, the hammer still made a whooshing sound as it flew out, and flames even burst forth on its surface, like a blazing meteor.
"what……"
The white fox lady gasped in surprise as Chen Yang pounced on her. Although they only brushed past each other, it still startled her. She thought Chen Yang was going to throw something at her, so she jumped up and quickly dodged.
The two Wu women were the same; seeing this, they no longer dared to throw themselves at Chen Yang.
The explosion of flames from the hammer was merely an illusion. It wasn't due to excessive speed and friction with the air that ignited the flames; rather, Chen Yang deliberately infused the hammer with a trace of true energy when he threw it, thus activating its fire attribute.
The hammer made a whistling sound as it struck the air, then burst into flames, looking quite intimidating.
The Golden Armored Corpse King sat cross-legged on the ground, drawing upon the starlight to temper his physical body. His entire being was glowing, shimmering with starlight. Upon seeing the hammer thrown by Chen Yang, he leaped up and simultaneously reached out a hand to grab it.
boom!
In the end, the Golden Armored Corpse King accurately grasped the hammer handle, but the hammer's powerful inertia still made his body tremble, and even the void around the hammer rippled, as if the void had been smashed open.
In terms of pure physical weight, this hammer weighs several hundred kilograms, making it impossible for an ordinary person to swing. When powered by magic, the weight of the hammer increases exponentially.
At this moment, the golden-armored corpse king caught the hammer thrown by Chen Yang, much like grabbing a runaway car with one hand.
Luckily he had practiced, otherwise he would have embarrassed himself.
"What is that?" Miss White Fox exclaimed in surprise.
"It's just a hammer, why are you so scared? Are you that afraid of dying?" Chen Yang teased Miss White Fox.
"I……"
Enraged, Miss White Fox rushed over, opened her mouth, and revealed two fangs, biting hard at Chen Yang's shoulder.
Although it didn't bite through, because the skin was too thick and the flesh was tough, it still left two bright red tooth marks.
After a brief incident, the group arrived outside the valley's great barrier, ready to witness the power of the giant hammer.
They arrived at a mountain peak about a hundred meters high, several kilometers away from the valley's great barrier, to avoid affecting it.
After playing with the Hammer of Vulcan for a while, the Golden Armored Corpse King has gotten the hang of it.
The weight of several hundred kilograms was just right for him to hold.
If the gravity rune is activated, the weight of the hammer can be increased exponentially.
To unleash the full power of the hammer, the Golden Armored Corpse King's blood and qi surged, his internal energy nearly boiling. With each breath, a tiger's roar could be heard, as if a fierce tiger was hidden within him, eager to bare its fangs and claws and engage in a fierce battle.
Ouch!
With a beast-like roar, the golden-armored corpse king roared out, stomping its huge feet hard on the ground, causing the ground to crack open and blast out an inverted cone-shaped crater with a diameter of ten meters and a depth of about ten feet.
With the force of this stomp, the massive body of the Golden Armored Corpse King soared like an elephant into the sky. Gripping the Hammer of the God of Fire tightly in both hands, it slammed down on the hundred-meter-high mountain in front of it with the force to shatter mountains and rivers.
boom!
The Hammer of Vulcan suddenly burst into flames, engulfing the hammer and making it look like a meteorite engulfed in flames.
The flames grew stronger and stronger, even reaching the hammer handle, and then spreading along the handle towards the golden-armored corpse king's arm.
If it were a normal zombie, it would have peed its pants in fear and thrown the hammer away.
However, the Golden Armored Corpse King is different. At his level, he is impervious to blades and spears, fire and water, and can even take a bath in lava without any problem. However, if he stays in a fiery environment for a long time, his combat power will be weakened.
Furthermore, visible ripples of air erupted from wherever the Hammer of Vulcan passed, transforming into shockwaves powerful enough to tear through iron armor, sweeping wildly in all directions.
Woohoo...
Where the shockwave passed, a piercing, whistling sound, like a steam whistle, filled the air.
The shockwave jolted Wu Shanhe and his twin granddaughters, causing them to catch their breath and involuntarily feel as if they were being thrown backward.
Hiss!
The mere ripples in the air created by Thor's hammer were enough to make three Grandmaster-level experts retreat, which gives you an idea of just how powerful the Golden Armored Corpse King's hammer was.
At this point, the flames on the Hammer of Vulcan had even spread to the entire body of the Golden Armored Corpse King, making him look like a towering fire god of war.
Boom!
When the hammer struck the mountaintop, a deafening explosion, like a spark hitting the earth, resounded.
The immense power poured directly into the mountain, amounting to millions, even tens of millions of tons.
Click!
The massive mountain, over a hundred meters high, was instantly shattered into pieces.
Starting from the mountaintop, the mountain collapsed rapidly towards the foot of the mountain, sending countless large and small rocks flying in all directions.
The effect was truly like a heavy-duty earth-penetrating missile penetrating the mountain and then exploding, shattering the entire mountain into pieces.
In the end, more than 50 meters of this 100-meter-high hill were flattened, and the remaining 40-meter-high hill was also covered with cracks, which was shocking to see.
Within the cracks, one could even see flames flickering and burning—the energy that surged into the mountain when the Hammer of Vulcan made contact with it.
The intense heat from the flames can even melt hard rocks into magma.
The power of that single hammer blow was terrifying!
Standing amidst the ruins, the Golden Armored Corpse King, wielding the Hammer of Vulcan, was filled with shock, clearly astonished by the power of the Hammer of Vulcan.
A burly, tough guy like him is best suited to a hammer. If things don't go his way, he can just smash someone's head with one blow—simple and brutal.
"Wow, what kind of hammer is this? How can it be so powerful?" Wu Shanhe was also surprised and envious.
Despite having reached the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm, he still didn't have a suitable weapon.
The key point is that he and Chen Yang knew each other longer than anyone else.
The Golden Armored Corpse King received a hammer, while his twin granddaughters each received a sword, which inevitably made him envious and jealous.
"This hammer was originally Thor's hammer, but after it broke, I reforged it and now it's Vulcan's hammer. Although its power is less than one percent of the original Thor's hammer, it's still enough for the Golden Armored Corpse King to use," Chen Yang said calmly.
Although the Golden Armored Corpse King couldn't speak, it possessed some sentience and expressed its gratitude to Chen Yang.
"So it's a reforged version of Thor's hammer, no wonder it's so powerful." Wu Shanhe said in surprise, wanting to say something, but then stopped himself.
"Don't be too envious. When you break through to the God Realm, I'll give you a gift too. Odin's Eternal Spear is with me, but it's broken. I'll reforge it and give it to you as a congratulatory gift for reaching the God Realm," Chen Yang said to Wu Shanhe.
He could guess what the old man was trying to say in a second.
"Odin's eternal spear, wow, really?" Wu Shanhe was extremely shocked.
That's a weapon from mythology and legend!
Wu Xueer and Wu Yan'er also stared wide-eyed with blank expressions.
Why would I lie to you?
As Chen Yang spoke, he directly summoned the Eternal Spear from his spatial ring. It broke into two pieces and was severely twisted and deformed.
"Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely cultivate diligently and break through to the Divine Realm as soon as possible, so that I can obtain the Eternal Spear soon." Wu Shanhe said excitedly, suddenly filled with boundless motivation.
Seeing their grandfather acting like a child, the two Wu sisters burst into laughter.
When the group returned to the mountain valley's protective array, a loud booming sound came from the cave where the Xuanhuang Ancestor was in seclusion, accompanied by a strong fluctuation of life force.
After the wave burst out of the cave, it instantly filled the entire valley barrier, scattering the wisps of spiritual mist floating within it, and causing the barrier's membrane to tremble violently.
