Tang San's Story 6: Clear Sky Armor

"You have a discerning eye, senior."

Tang San didn't hide anything, nodded, and asked curiously, "Senior, do you recognize these metal formulas?"

"Of course I know him."

Lou Gao stroked his beard, a hint of pride on his face.

"Back when His Sea God Xia Yang Your Majesty forging Semi-Divine Artifact, he invited all the famous blacksmiths on the Douluo Continent to come and study it. Old man was fortunate enough to be among them and personally witnessed the forging process of the Semi-Divine Artifact artifact."

"These formulas of yours are the alloy formulas that His Your Majesty Xia Yang repeatedly experimented with in order to forge Semi-Divine Artifact!"

"I see!"

Tang San suddenly realized, and his admiration for the Sea God Xia Yang grew even stronger.

"Young man, since you can understand these formulas and successfully forge these metals, your forging talent is quite remarkable."

Lou Gao looked at Tang San with admiration in his eyes and asked, "What, are you also planning to forge a divine artifact?"

Tang San hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind.

He bowed deeply to Lou Gao and said sincerely, "Senior, this junior does indeed intend to forge my own divine artifact."

"I know that forging a divine artifact is as difficult as ascending to heaven. I once witnessed His Majesty the Sea God Your Majesty forging Semi-Divine Artifact. I would like to ask for your guidance and assistance."

Lou Gao's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

The scene of witnessing the Sea God forging Semi-Divine Artifact was deeply imprinted in his mind, making him always eager to try forging an artifact imbued with Divine Might himself.

However, due to the lack of suitable recipes and ingredients, they have not been able to achieve their goal.

Now, Tang San not only has the alloy formula left by the Sea God, but has also successfully forged a unique metal, which is an excellent opportunity.

After a moment's thought, Lou Gao said, "Old man can help you."

"However, Old man must clarify beforehand that I only observed back then and did not participate in the forging. Moreover, even His Your Majesty the Sea God only managed to forge Semi-Divine Artifact in the end."

Therefore, I cannot guarantee success, and it is even possible that we will have to give up halfway.

"I understand!"

Tang San quickly replied, "This junior has never dared to hope to forge a true divine weapon. I would be content as long as I can create a tool that contains even a trace of the power of a divine weapon."

"I know my place and will never force myself to do something like that."

Seeing Tang San's clear understanding, Lou Gao nodded in satisfaction. "Alright! In that case, let's try it together!"

And so, Tang San temporarily abandoned his plan to leave Gengxin City and, together with Lou Gao, began to study the method of forging divine artifacts in this blacksmith shop.

Time flies, and three and a half years have passed in the blink of an eye.

That year, Tang San turned thirty. After years of dedicated cultivation and refinement, his Soul Power had broken through the bottleneck, and he successfully advanced to the Soul Saint level.

And his journey of forging the divine weapon with Lou Gao has finally reached its most crucial moment.

The forging location was chosen deep within the Forging God Mountain Range, west of Gengxin City, Volcanic Peak.

Far from human habitation, the crater of this place, with its churning lava and ever-flowing, intensely hot energy, is the perfect location for forging divine weapons.

Standing atop the volcano, the two stood before a bubbling Magma Lake.

The rising heat, mixed with the pungent smell of sulfur, hit you in the face, making it hard to breathe.

Directly above the crater, a strangely shaped Forging Platform stretches across the landscape, resembling a lurking giant beast from afar.

The Forging Platform Entanglement with hundreds of thick, dark chains, each about the thickness of an arm. One end of the chains was fixed to the edge of the Forging Platform, while the other end was deeply embedded in the rock wall surrounding the volcano, firmly securing the entire Forging Platform.

At the bottom of the Forging Platform hung dozens of pillars gleaming with metallic luster, plunging straight into the churning magma below, continuously drawing terrifying heat energy from the magma to provide the core power for forging.

This Forging Platform, which can be described as a miracle, was built by Lou Gao over three years, using the combined manpower and resources of the entire Blacksmith Association.

In order to create an artifact that truly embodies Divine Might, the two of them poured almost all their energy into it.

At this moment, Tang San's figure stood out prominently in the center of the Forging Platform.

Tang San unleashed his Clear Sky True Body, his already imposing figure swelling several times in size, surrounded by seven Spirit Ring.

Yellow, purple, purple, purple, black, black, black.

The Soul Saint's oppressive aura intertwined with the domineering power of the Clear Sky Hammer, creating a breathtaking spectacle.

He held a huge, dark gold Clear Sky Hammer in both hands. The hammer was covered with fine patterns, and this Clear Sky Hammer was his Martial Soul's true form.

With Tang San's steady breathing, the dark golden Clear Sky Hammer was raised high and then brought down heavily.

Each strike landed precisely on the object before him, producing a dull "clang-clang-" sound that made the surrounding air tremble slightly.

At this moment, on the Forging Platform, what Tang San was repeatedly hammering was a set of dark gold armor.

This armor is somewhat similar in style to the Emperor Armor in the Canglan Imperial Palace, with sharp lines and a domineering design, but the aura it exudes is more profound and composed.

Clearly, this is the artifact that Tang San and Lou Gao painstakingly crafted over three and a half years.

They named this set of armor the Clear Sky Armor.

However, judging from the energy fluctuations emanating from the surface of the armor, it is still far from being a true divine artifact, at most reaching the level of Titled Douluo.

However, it should be noted that Tang San is currently only a Soul Saint, Lou Gao's Soul Power Level is also stuck at the Soul Saint stage.

Two Soul Saint were able to forge armor at the level of Titled Douluo, a feat unprecedented in the entire history of forging on the Douluo Continent.

"Boom!"

Just as Tang San was about to unleash his final powerful punch, the sky suddenly changed color.

The once clear sky was instantly covered by a thick layer of dark clouds. The clouds rolled and surged, blocking out the blinding sunlight, and the entire Volcanic Peak was plunged into darkness.

Immediately afterwards, large raindrops began to fall without warning, pattering down on the rocks surrounding the Magma Lake and instantly evaporating into white steam.

Fortunately, this is the summit of a volcano, where the temperature is extremely high.

Moreover, Tang San relied on the heat energy of magma to forge his armor, so this little bit of rainwater could not affect the core energy of the Forging Platform, and naturally would not interfere with his actions.

Tang San's eyes were focused, unaffected by the changes in the outside world. He continued to strike the armor with the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, following the established rhythm.

"Clang--!"

Finally, the last hammer fell.

The dark golden Clear Sky Hammer slammed heavily onto the chest of the armor, producing a crisp and resonant sound.

With that final hammer blow, the armor was fully formed.

The original dark gold armor gradually lost its variegated colors and turned pure black.

Fine golden patterns appeared on the armor.
