Time flew by, and before he knew it, more than a month had passed.
Yet, within the Chaos Space, a full ten years had elapsed.
"Finally succeeded."
In the Chaos Space, Xu Nian looked at the newly crafted divine artifacts before him, a joyful expression on his face.
These two divine artifacts, after being imbued with divine radiance by the Chaos Divine Palace, had become true divine artifacts.
"I didnāt expect my soul power to break through to the Early Stage Immortal Sovereign realm while crafting these two divine artifacts," Xu Nian mused to himself.
The uniqueness of the Ten Thousand Divine Hammer Technique greatly enhanced his soul power.
This was definitely much faster than cultivating step by step.
"Itās time to go out," Xu Nian said with a smile.
With that, his figure appeared outside.
When he opened the door, he found Li Tian still sitting cross-legged before it.
"Hey, Brother Xu, how come youāre out? Did it fail?" Li Tian asked in surprise.
"No, it was successful," Xu Nian replied with a smile.
"Successful? How is that possible? You crafted a divine artifact in just a month?" Li Tian said, incredulous.
"Two pieces!"
Xu Nian smiled, offering no explanation.
After all, he couldnāt share the special nature of the Chaos Divine Palace.
"Two pieces?" Li Tian gasped.
Crafting two divine artifacts in a month?
How is that possible?
Even for an immortal artifact, ordinary artifact refiners would need years.
Not to mention crafting divine artifacts.
"Really successful?" Li Tian asked.
Xu Nian nodded with a smile.
Li Tian was instantly excited: "Quickly, Brother Xu, let me see."
Xu Nian, slightly resigned, waved his hand, and a black glimmer flew over, dropping to the ground.
"Boom!"
It immediately created a huge deep pit upon impact.
In the middle of the pit lay a palm-sized black brick.
The brick exuded immensely strong divine radiance.
"Wow, it really succeeded." Li Tianās eyes shone with excitement as he reached for the divine artifact.
But he froze completely in the next moment.
Because he couldnāt lift it.
"How heavy is this brick?" Li Tian exclaimed in shock.
With powerful Immortal Essence, he barely managed to lift the brick inch by inch off the ground.
"This brick weighs eight billion tons and is imbued with earth attribute divine radiance," Xu Nian explained with a smile.
"Eight billion tons?" Li Tian gasped.
A single strike with this brick, wouldnāt any Immortal Sovereign find it unbearable?
Hence, Li Tian didnāt hesitate to recognize it as his primary artifact.
After recognition, the brick became incredibly light in his hands.
Yet, for enemies, the brick remained terrifying.
"Zoom!"
Li Tian controlled the brick and smashed it at a distant mountain.
"Boom!"
A deafening blast rang out.
The entire mountain was instantly shattered and blown apart.
Seeing this, Li Tian gasped anew before expressing wild joy: "So powerful, unbelievably strong."
"Brother Xu, the divine artifact you crafted truly meets my satisfaction," Li Tian said with excitement, glancing at Xu Nian.
Xu Nian smiled: "Iām glad you like it."
Li Tian grinned; initially, he worried Xu Nian might fail.
Now it seems his worries were unfounded.
"By the way, Brother Xu, you mentioned two pieces; what divine artifact did you craft for yourself?" Li Tian asked curiously.
"Me? I crafted a hammer!" Xu Nian chuckled.
With that, a remarkably exquisite hammer appeared in midair.
The hammer, too, emanated strong earth attribute divine radiance.
"Such an exquisite hammer, it shouldnāt be heavier than my brick, right?" Li Tian laughed.
"Why not try it out yourself?" Xu Nian chuckled.
With that, he motioned, and the hammer smoothly landed on the ground.
Seeing this, Li Tian paid it no mind and attempted to lift the hammer.
But in the next moment, he was utterly dumbfounded.
No matter how he applied Immortal Essence or laws, he couldnāt move the hammer a bit.
"Wow! Just how heavy is this hammer? Why canāt I lift it?" Li Tian couldnāt help but say.
"This hammer weighs about the equivalent of five of your bricks," Xu Nian laughed.
"Five?" Li Tian exclaimed.
His brick weighed eight billion tons; wouldnāt Xu Nianās hammer be a full forty billion tons?
Such a terrifying weight ā what scene would it create if it hit someone?
Li Tian couldnāt imagine.
Xu Nian merely chuckled, and with a gesture, the hammer appeared in his hand directly.
With this hammer, the Black Hole Law could unleash truly formidable power.
"Brother Xu, Iām a bit puzzled. Just how is it that the materials for the divine artifact donāt weigh so much, yet the crafted divine artifact is multiple times heavier?" Li Tian asked with some surprise.
Hearing this, Xu Nian smiled.
"Thatās because the divine artifact materials undergo hammering by divine fire, absorbing tremendous energy. Coupled with the infusion of divine radiance, the artifactās weight multiplies," Xu Nian explained.
"I see!" Li Tian nodded in sudden understanding.
Xu Nian smiled as well.
Artifact refining is about causing a monumental transformation in the divine artifact materials, a process of turning decay into miracles.
Currently, Xu Nianās artifact refining mastery is still fundamental.
He couldnāt touch the Water Dragon Whaleās horn and Holy Snow Gold.
"Come along, my father has finished his retreat; letās go see him. He will definitely be shocked to learn you can craft divine artifacts," Li Tian said with a smile.
Xu Nian appeared solemn.
Ksitigarbha Immortal Emperor?
The man ranked third on the Immortal Emperor list?
Thus, under Li Tianās lead, Xu Nian arrived at the giant palace at the core of the Earth Immortal Sect.
Inside the palace, an exceedingly dignified and solid figure stood.
This figure gave Xu Nian an overwhelming impression.
It was as though beside him stood not a person but a colossal giant planet.
"So powerful!" Xu Nian muttered inwardly.
He could sense that if this man wanted to squash him, it would certainly be easy.
"Haha, Nephew Xu Nian, youāve arrived."
Yet, upon seeing Xu Nian, this middle-aged man displayed an exceedingly genial smile.
Xu Nian froze; he hadnāt expected the sect master of the Earth Immortal Sect to be so approachable.
"See, Xu Nian, I told you my father is not a serious person. If he pretended to be solemn, he couldnāt keep it up for 15 minutes," Li Tian said with a laugh.
"You rascal, feeling mischievous again lately?" Ksitigarbha Immortal Emperor grumbled.
Yet Li Tian showed no fear, laughingly retorting: "Iām just stating the truth."
Ksitigarbha Immortal Emperor shook his head helplessly.
Watching this, Xu Nian felt this Ksitigarbha Immortal Emperor was much more approachable.
He displayed none of the airs an Immortal Emperor would traditionally possess.
"Junior Xu Nian, greets Senior Ksitigarbha," Xu Nian greeted respectfully.
"Thereās no need for formality. Since I call you Nephew Xu Nian, feel free to call me Uncle," Ksitigarbha Immortal Emperor said.
"Uncle?" Xu Nian was a bit surprised.
He hadnāt anticipated such courtesy from Ksitigarbha Immortal Emperor.
