Today's second update: Chapter 1570! 2/4!
Although Mjolnir was a True God Artifact and was now suppressed at Saint Realm Peak, the Thunderous Might it carried still possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth!
Tempering the body with lightning was not something just anyone could endure!
This was also why previous assemblies had limited it to the top three Divine Forgemasters. Those who were too weak likely would not gain much benefit!
Every one of the top hundred Divine Forgemasters was an outstanding figure within the Saint Realm. Those like Madam Xu, who had not reached Saint Realm Peak, were instead in the minority!

Every single one was left battered
