Boom!
Accompanied by a deafening clap of thunder!
Five-colored divine lightning appeared deep within the multicolored sky!
A terrifying heavenly might instantly permeated the air!
Causing hundreds of millions of people in the entire Yan Kingdom's capital to feel a powerful sense of oppression!
"Five-colored divine lightning? This is a sign of an artifact descending!"
"Yes, I was fortunate enough to witness the five-colored divine lightning descend once. Thinking back, it was last time!"
"Heavens, seven people working together have actually forged an artifact!"
"Simply unbelievable!"
Everyone's scalps tingled, and they felt a chill down their spines!
When Gong Jian forged that divine cauldron, five-colored divine lightning had also appeared in the sky!
But its scale was far less earth-shattering than what they were witnessing today!
After all, the previous five-colored divine lightning had only covered the skies above the Sword Forging Academy!
But today!
The entire capital city was awash in colorful light!
"This... How could this be?"
"Seven people working together shouldn't be able to forge a high-grade immortal artifact, yet they've forged an artifact?"
The experts from the Xue Kingdom were all aghast, deeply shaken by the scene before them!
Ling Yanran's pretty face lost all color: "It must be Brother-in-law's doing!"
Although she hadn't seen what divine ability Chen Nan had unleashed!
She had a premonition!
This definitely had something to do with Chen Nan! Read novels!
A Xue Kingdom expert's pupils trembled: "High Priest, did you just say Brother-in-law?"
"You misheard!" Ling Yanran came back to her senses and murmured, "Although the five-colored divine lightning has been triggered, it's still unknown if the artifact will successfully manifest!"
"The High Priest speaks wisely. The ultimate reason for a powerful divine weapon to manifest is that it's too powerful, exceeding the scope of Heavenly Dao's recognition!"
"Similar to cultivators undergoing tribulation, only by surviving the heavenly tribulation can one live on!"
"I really don't know if this divine sword can survive the tribulation of the five-colored divine lightning!"
Under everyone's awestruck gaze!
The divine lightning descended from the sky, striking the long sword heavily!
The long sword trembled!
Everyone, except Chen Nan, spat out a mouthful of blood!
"Holy crap! We've actually forged an artifact?" Wu Tian was full of excitement, his head glowing with a faint light!
Wei Xufeng was also frenzied: "Even if the artifact hasn't been successfully forged yet, our seven brothers and sisters will surely be recorded in history!"
"Brothers, today we either succeed or die trying!"
"No matter what, we must help this long sword survive the lightning tribulation!"
All seven were filled with excitement!
They couldn't imagine they had forged an artifact!
After all!
Since ancient times, no one had ever been able to forge an artifact!
"There are nine heavenly tribulations. Do not be careless!"
"If it's really impossible, it's okay to give up!"
The Yan Emperor spoke!
Although he desired an artifact!
He valued the lives of these seven people even more!
After all, they were the future hope of the artifact refining world!
And the hope of the Yan Kingdom!
Wu Tian was incredibly excited: "We've worked so hard for so long, and we're just one step away. Why give up?"
Chen Nan looked at him incredulously! Read novels!
Holy crap!
He's still making dirty jokes at this point?
Without any further thought, the seven formed hand seals, and immortal energy from all directions converged!
Under the control of the seven, it was injected into the long sword!
Boom!
The second bolt of five-colored divine lightning struck!
Deafening!
Making everyone feel their blood surge and their heads ring!
At the same time!
The six people, excluding Chen Nan, spat out another mouthful of blood!
The strongest among them was only at the True Immortal realm, utterly unable to withstand the power of the divine lightning!
And the long sword, after being struck by two bolts of divine lightning, already showed faint cracks!
It looked as though it could shatter at any moment!
"Again!"
Chen Nan's expression was solemn!
He released his divine fire and flew into the air, enveloping the long sword!
"The long sword has cracks, it needs to be tempered again!"
"We must finish tempering it before the third bolt of divine lightning descends!"
The other six tacitly released their soul power, transforming it into invisible hammers, striking the long sword madly from all directions!
Just then!
The third bolt of divine lightning descended without warning!
"Not good!"
The Yan Emperor's face turned pale!
The power of the divine lightning was terrifying!
Now, all seven of their soul powers were engaged in tempering the sword body!
If the divine lightning struck now, their souls would be scattered!
The Yan Emperor felt uneasy!
He wanted to step in and save them, but it was too late!
When the third bolt of heavenly lightning descended!
Chen Nan spat out a mouthful of blood!
While Wei Xufeng, Wu Tian, Nie Yao, and the other six collectively fell into a coma!
Their strength was insufficient to withstand the attack of the divine lightning! Read novels!
"Your Majesty, do not worry, they will not die!"
"Not only that, their soul power might even increase somewhat!" Chen Nan knew the Yan Emperor was concerned about everyone, so he communicated with him telepathically!
After all, they had all drunk the [Lucky Water] infused with the Yan Kingdom's national destiny, so no matter what happened today, they would turn misfortune into fortune!
"Chen Nan, give up!" The Yan Emperor spoke!
"The Immortal Realm has existed for so many years, and besides Gong Jian forging a divine cauldron!"
"Thus far, no artifact has appeared!"
"This indicates that no one can forge an artifact!"
The combined efforts of seven people couldn't withstand the divine tribulation!
Even if Chen Nan had many methods!
He didn't believe Chen Nan could withstand the divine tribulation!
Let alone Chen Nan!
Even he, with his ninth-level Immortal Emperor cultivation, didn't believe he could withstand nine bolts of five-colored divine lightning!
"We're so close to the finish line!"
Chen Nan looked up!
In the void!
The Everlasting Fire continued to burn the long sword!
The sword embryo had already taken shape and had endured three bolts of divine lightning!
It emitted a faint divine light!
He sat down cross-legged!
His soul left his body!
And directly entered the sword embryo!
"Chen Nan, are you crazy?" Ling Yanran suddenly stood up, completely taken aback that Chen Nan intended to use his soul power to resist the divine tribulation!
"Hurry back, you can't die, if you die..."
She wanted to reveal that secret!
But the words at the tip of her tongue were swallowed back!
If she told him the secret now, it would definitely affect his state of mind!
The Yan Emperor's face also turned green: "You are truly a lunatic!"
Everyone else was also filled with horror!
This was originally the tribulation for this long sword!
But now, Chen Nan's soul power had entered the sword!
This was equivalent to him and the sword confronting the divine tribulation simultaneously!
If he were a ninth-level Immortal Emperor, people would consider him courageous!
But the problem was, he only had the cultivation of a Heavenly Immortal realm!
Wasn't this courting death?
Once the divine tribulation descended!
His soul would surely be scattered, and his path would be extinguished!
"It seems I don't need to make a move; this fellow will be annihilated by the divine tribulation!" Li Aohan's eyes were filled with fanaticism!
He was just thinking about how he didn't have an opportunity to kill Chen Nan and avenge Chu Yelan!
Who would have thought Chen Nan would be recklessly testing the waters at the edge of death!
If you're so arrogant, who else but you will die?
"If you regret it now, it's still not too late!" Qing Long's terrified voice echoed in Chen Nan's mind!
Chen Nan's soul, looking through the sword body at the void: "I need a catalyst to enhance my soul power, only then can I defeat the Human Emperor!"
"Damn it!"
Qing Long cursed: "There are many ways to enhance soul power, why choose this one? If you want to die, fine, but why drag me down with you?"
Boom!
Without warning!
The fourth bolt of five-colored divine lightning fiercely struck the long sword!
The Everlasting Fire enveloping the sword body, to everyone's astonishment, slowly extinguished...
