Chapter 279: Chapter 279 Golden Flame Divine Fire_1
A new side task has been issued.
"Construct fifty Void God Sky Soldiers."
Chu Yuan felt a headache coming on as he looked at the required materials.
The materials required for these Void God level Sky Soldiers were even a hundred times more precious than those for the ones of Tongshen level. He had never even heard of many of the items, and even if he had, the quantity was extremely scarce.
"The Tongshen Sky Soldiers still need to be constructed, but these Void God Sky Soldiers also need to be built quickly. Dawu is currently short on Void God level combat power. These mechanical soldiers fear neither life nor death and are suitable for charging and breaking through enemy lines, making them perfect for my use."
With one step, Chu Yuan engaged in spatial translation and directly left the palace.
The foundry was bustling with energy.
Everyone was working hard, striving for their dividends.
Thanks to Ouyang Ming's arrival, everything was in good order.
In fact, the tasks within the foundry were rather easy, as all Chu Yuan needed them to do was to purify the materials and deliver them over.
At this time, a figure covered in grime was examining something with a furrowed brow.
"Something is wrong. These common materials, when handed over to the Emperor, can unleash a hundred percent of their power. But in my hands, they only achieve twenty to thirty percent. No matter how I modify it, I cannot break through this bottleneck. There must be something wrong somewhere."
Ouyang Ming was holding a replica of an Annihilating God Crossbow, contemplating.
"Ouyang Ming, you have been doing very well these past few days. I am pleased."
The sound of Chu Yuan's voice suddenly echoed by his ear.
"Your Majesty!"
Ouyang Ming was taken aback. Even with his Void God Realm sensitivity, he hadn't noticed Chu Yuan's presence behind him. He quickly bowed and said, "Your subject pays his respects to Your Majesty."
"Stand up."
Chu Yuan raised his hand and looked at the objects next to him. "Are these your replicas?"
He took a casual glance, they were indeed meticulously copied.
"Yes, I have been studying various equipment for the past few months. Like this Sol Blaze Sword, it's perfectly identical to the original, even down to the smallest detail. However, I can't seem to enhance its power; it only has thirty percent of the original."
Ouyang Ming handed a Sol Blaze Sword to Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan held it in his hand, its weight and length were indistinguishable from the original.
"I've been thinking for a long time, but I don't know where the problem lies."
Ouyang Ming continued: "In addition to the Sol Blaze Sword, there's also the Sky Soldiers. Even the Armored Flying Boat, I've managed to replicate some. However, they are merely empty shells, lacking the miraculous power that your Majesty's possess. As for the potency, it's simply incomparable."
Chu Yuan looked at the objects he had replicated and secretly thought that he's indeed talented.
However, these were automatically constructed from blueprints; it would be strange if he couldn't replicate them.
"Alright, I have come to the foundry this time not only to inspect but also to give you a new task: purify the materials listed in this blueprint."
Chu Yuan handed the list over to the talented man.
"Your Majesty, these materials are incredibly precious." Ouyang Ming furrowed his brow after reading the list.
"You know?" Chu Yuan asked.
"I do, I have seen some of them." Ouyang Ming nodded. "Take this Void Divine Crystal, for instance, it needs to be extracted from a large quantity of Void Crystal Stones, which is quite troublesome. And this Gold Flame Divine Gold, Dawu does not have it. But I know where to find it."
"Oh? Tell me."
Chu Yuan said.
"It's inside a forbidden area in the East Xuan Region, a vast desert wasteland. It's said to be the result of a battle between the ancient Fire Fen Tian Great Emperor and a terrifying entity."
Ouyang Ming continued, "However, the place where the Gold Flame Divine Gold can be extracted is extremely dangerous. Even a Void God would find it difficult to linger there for long. It's the birthplace of a golden flame known as Gold Infernal Divine Flame. Even a Void God could potentially be burnt to death, but we must go there for extraction."
Upon hearing the four words 'Gold Infernal Divine Flame', it was surprisingly the Floating Tathagata Divine Fire that first had an intense reaction.
The Floating Tathagata Divine Fire isn't a divine artifact, but a special kind of innate divine fire, releasing a faint thread of consciousness.
Want...
I want the Gold Infernal Divine Flame...
"When I first acquired the Floating Tathagata Divine Fire, it was detailed in the description that devouring other divine fires could enable it to evolve and level up. Apparently, the Gold Infernal Divine Flame is one of them."
Chu Yuan's pleasure grew as he looked at Ouyang Ming.
This was a special talent like those herb cultivating tribes.
Without Ouyang Ming, how would those refining masters he had recruited know about these special and precious materials?
Just counting on them, it would take ten years to produce a Void God Sky Soldier.
This made Chu Yuan increasingly interested in that City of Refinement.
"Ouyang Ming, I will help you reclaim the City of Refinement. You will surpass Jin Chiyang in refining, and the City of Refinement will soon be yours."
Chu Yuan spoke earnestly, encouraging him.
"I will!"
Ouyang Ming nodded vigorously.
Chu Yuan had found a treasure this time.
He also felt that he had made the right decision.
In Dawu, there are countless materials for him to experiment with and numerous exclusive pieces of equipment for him to dismantle and study at will.
When he was tired, he could steep a cup of Heavenly Essence tea and use a few elixirs as snacks.
He felt his refining skills were improving rapidly.
This life was simply too blissful, a paradise on earth.
"Put aside the refining task for now. This time, you and I are going to find that Gold Infernal Divine Flame and prepare the Gold Flame Divine Gold."
If it were just for the Gold Flame Divine Gold, Chu Yuan wouldn't go personally. However, the Floating Tathagata Divine Fire needed the Gold Infernal Divine Flame to evolve, so he had no choice but to go.
"To that place!" Ouyang Ming responded. "I have been there before, and I've also wanted to try to obtain the Gold Infernal Divine Flame to use as a unique flame for a refiner, but I'm not strong enough. I can guide Your Majesty there."
"Good, there's no time to lose, let's go immediately."
With a wave of Chu Yuan's hand, the Void Giant Kun appeared.
The Void Giant Kun's speed in traversing through space surpasses even that of a Sky Warship. Chu Yuan was already eager to reach their destination.
"What is this?!"
Seeing the creature, Ouyang Ming's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. What was this thing?
"The Void Giant Kun, all those Void Crystal Stones you've seen before were spat out by it."
Chu Yuan patted the Void Giant Kun.
The Void Giant Kun waved its tail, trying to please Chu Yuan, whilst somewhat reluctantly allowing Ouyang Ming to join them as though it found him distasteful.
Yes, distasteful.
Feeling the Void Giant Kun's disdain, Ouyang Ming was somewhat devastated.
He was a respectable Void God King after all, a figure with a status in the Five Realms. Yet today, he was being despised by a giant fish."
Well, considering that this fish is the Emperor's mount and serves the Holy Emperor, it does hold a prominent status."
"Let's go, to the forbidden area!"
The Void Giant Kun immediately submerged into the void, seemingly opening a void tunnel; its speed was frighteningly fast."
If it was said that when he first acquired it, the Void Giant Kun only had the strength comparable to a Void God, after following Chu Yuan for so long and swallowing so many treasures he fed to it, its strength has at least upsurged several times."
"No wonder it's your Majesty's Kun, a true void beast which can freely wander within the void."
Seeing the rapidly retreating scenery on both sides, Ouyang Ming felt a sense of awe. With each passing moment, he found Chu Yuan increasingly unfathomable. The terror of the Emperor before him was already beyond his imagination."
Holding possession of a Kun that can traverse through the void, even the True God Emperor of the Xuanzun Dynasty would not have such a fate."
"We are here!"
The Void Giant Kun only traveled through the void for a few days. Chu Yuan and Ouyang Ming have arrived at the forbidden area.
