Inside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, although the atmosphere had been awkward for a moment.
But since they had decided to refine treasures, everyone quickly got down to business.
"Your Majesties, the rules are the same as usual."
Zhao Gongming extended his hand, rubbed his fingers, and said with a greedy expression.
"To refine a conceptual magic treasure, you must provide top-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures containing special laws."
"I naturally understand."
Di Jun snorted coldly, wanting to suppress Di Jiang.
He directly took out a crystal from his sleeve that emitted endless starlight, as if it condensed billions of galaxies.
"This is the Primordial Star Essence, which I collected from the depths of the starry sky over billions of years. It is indestructible and impervious to all magic."
[Ding! Detected high-level artifact refining material: Primordial Star Essence.] [Rating: Excellent.] [Matching Plan: Can refine conceptual magic treasures of absolute defense/retaliation.]
Zhao Gongming nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad, this can be used to refine a supreme defensive treasure."
Seeing that Di Jun had produced something good, Di Jiang was not to be outdone.
He chuckled and fumbled in his embrace for a long time.
Finally, he pulled out a golden, gleaming... Fusang branch that exuded the rich aura of True Sun Fire.
"Here, this is my material!"
[Ding! Detected high-level artifact refining material: Innate Fusang Tree Core.] [Rating: Excellent.] [Matching Plan: Can refine conceptual magic treasures of hard control/claim.]
Zhao Gongming was about to take it when Di Jun's eyes widened instantly. He pointed at the branch, his finger trembling.
"This... why does this look so familiar?"
"This is the main trunk of the Fusang tree from my Tanggu!"
"Di Jiang, you scoundrel, you clearly snatched this from me last time we fought!"
Di Jun's face turned red with anger, and his whole body trembled.
Using my things to refine a magic treasure to deal with me?
"You're not human, you dog!"
Faced with Di Jun's insults, Di Jiang was not angry at all.
Instead, he looked calm and even arrogantly barked at Di Jun twice.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
"What, now that it's in my hands, it's mine. What are you going to do about it?"
The entire place fell silent. Everyone was stunned by Di Jiang's move.
The leader of the Ancestral Witches actually barked like a dog in public?
Was his skin made of Chaos Divine Iron?
However, the Pharmacist Daoist nearby's eyes lit up, and he looked at Di Jiang with admiration and worship.
"Hiss... is this the mindset of a strong person?"
"Calm in the face of honor or disgrace, shameless... no, magnanimous!"
"Senior Di Jiang's personality is quite like my master's. If he were to join my Western Teachings, he would surely achieve great things!"
Zhao Gongming glanced at the Pharmacist, who was moved by himself, and twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself.
"Damn... you actually consider thick skin an advantage. Damn it, this Western Teachings sect is hopeless."
After the farce, the artifact refining began.
"Young friend Zhao, can you refine it?" Di Jiang asked.
"Absolutely." Zhao Gongming patted his chest and guaranteed.
"But this is a major project and will take some time."
To prevent anyone from disturbing them, Di Jun directly brought out his companion treasure, the River Diagram and Luo Script.
The Hunyuan River-Luo Great Array was instantly set up, enveloping Zhao Gongming and forming an absolutely safe refining space.
Zhao Gongming was not hesitant. He brought out the Nine Dragon Cauldron, and unleashed both Samadhi True Fire and Six Ding True Fire, beginning to refine frantically.
Time passed, and finally, amidst everyone's anticipation, the Nine Dragon Cauldron let out a world-shaking roar.
"It's done!"
Zhao Gongming, sweating profusely but with a look of excitement, walked out, holding two magic treasures that emanated strange fluctuations.
At the same time, the System's rewards arrived as promised.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully refining two Conceptual Level Magic Treasures!]
[Double Critical Strike Reward triggered!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the divine ability: Six Ding True Fire (Advanced)!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the divine ability: True Sun Fire (Origin)!]
Zhao Gongming was overjoyed.
Six Ding True Fire was a divine fire used by the Supreme Old Lord for alchemy.
Although it lacked killing power, its creative potential was infinite, capable of purifying all impurities.
True Sun Fire was formed from Pangu's left eye.
Extremely yang and extremely powerful, it was peerless and domineering, capable of burning the heavens and boiling the seas with ease. It was Di Jun and Tai Yi's signature skill!
"With these two great flames, plus the Samadhi True Fire, my fire-based divine abilities are truly complete!"
Zhao Gongming suppressed his excitement and handed the two magic treasures to the two individuals respectively.
The one handed to Di Jun was a gorgeously styled, shimmering golden armor that looked majestic and imposing.
The one handed to Di Jiang, however, was a... tattered-looking stretcher, even with some bloodstains on it.
Di Jiang stared at the stretcher in his hands, completely dumbfounded.
"No... Zhao Gongming, what do you mean by this?"
"That feathered bird's thing at least looks like a magic treasure armor, cool and imposing."
"What is this thing I'm holding? Am I supposed to carry dead people?"
Zhao Gongming said with a serious expression, waving his hands.
"Seniors, please let me explain."
"This armor is called the The More You Hit, The More Excited You Get Armor."
"When worn, within the same realm, all attacks from the opponent will be nullified and converted into the user's mana recovery."
"This stretcher is called the Don't Even Think About Leaving Without Compensation Stretcher."
"As long as you lie on it, the Heavenly Dao will judge that the opponent has severely wounded you."
"The opponent must provide satisfactory compensation, otherwise, karma will be locked."
"The two will be locked in a stalemate until the end of time, neither able to leave!"
Upon hearing these two heaven-defying attributes, Di Jun and Di Jiang's eyes lit up instantly.
Ignoring attacks?
Forced compensation?
This was too powerful!
"However..." Zhao Gongming's tone shifted.
"There are side effects."
"The armor's side effect is that when attacked, the user must shout provocatively and with a hint of enjoyment."
"So comfortable, not enough, come hit me, idiot, a little harder, or the defense will fail."
"The stretcher's side effect is that when activated, the user must lie on the ground and roll around frantically."
"Completely disregarding their image, they must also shout, 'Someone's hitting me! They're trying to kill me! You won't leave without paying!' or the judgment will fail."
Di Jun and Di Jiang's hands trembled as they held the magic treasures.
"This... this is called a side effect?!"
Di Jun cried out in despair.
"This is simply causing Social Death so profound it makes your ancestors' graves smoke!"
"I, the Heavenly Emperor, have to shout such things, and even ask for 'a little harder'?"
Di Jiang's face turned as black as charcoal.
"You want me to roll around like a shrew extorting money?"
"What about my Ancestral Witch's reputation?"
Zhao Gongming spread his hands, righteous and unyielding.
"Oh, seniors."
"The magic treasures are already so powerful, what's wrong with a minor, harmless side effect?"
"This is called energy conservation, this is called the Heavenly Dao's impartiality!"
"If you don't believe in its power, you'll know if you try it!"
Di Jun and Di Jiang exchanged a look.
A flicker of struggle flashed in both their eyes, but it was overshadowed by their desire for invincibility.
"At least I have a mortal enemy to be embarrassed with..."
"As long as I'm not embarrassed, whoever is will be!"
"Let's do it!"
Di Jun gritted his teeth and directly put on the golden armor.
"Zhu Rong, Gong Gong!"
Di Jun turned around, beckoned to the two Ancestral Witches who were still watching the show, and said with an infuriating expression.
"You two good-for-nothings, didn't you want to tear down my Demon Court?"
"Come on, hit me, hit me to death!"
Zhu Rong and Gong Gong were already hot-tempered and couldn't stand such provocation.
"Fine, you asked for this!"
"You damn bird, die!"
BOOM! BOOM!
Divine fire and monstrous floods erupted, carrying the terrifying might of the Ancestral Witches, and ruthlessly slammed into Di Jun.
However, the moment the attack landed.
A strange pink light emanated from the armor on Di Jun's body.
Immediately after, on Di Jun's majestic face.
A flush of ecstatic enjoyment appeared uncontrollably.
He spread his arms, tilted his head back, and with a seductive voice that made everyone present's scalp tingle and their toes curl, he shouted loudly.
"Ah~ Actually, this feels quite good!"
"More, it's not enough, haven't you eaten?"
"Hit me again, idiot!"
"Haven't you eaten?!"
Zhu Rong and Gong Gong's attacks struck the armor, disappearing like a stone into the sea, without a ripple.
But the two Ancestral Witches recoiled as if they had seen a ghost, frantically withdrawing their hands. They retreated repeatedly, their faces pale, almost spitting up on the spot.
"Holy crap!!"
"Pervert!!"
The scene was explosive, and everyone's worldview shattered into pieces at that moment.
