Using the time acceleration of the God Burial Golden Coffin, Jiang Feng spent a billion years within the coffin and reforged Shattered Star with Ruyi Divine Iron.
Naturally, this Shattered Star was worlds apart from Jiang Feng's previous Shattered Star!
Not only were the materials worlds apart, but the forging techniques and the use of incantations differed enormously as well. The reason he retained the name Shattered Star was that Jiang Feng had still preserved part of the original Shattered Star's incantation layout.
After Jiang Feng mastered the new artifact-forging methods, forging a divine artifact itself no longer consumed much time. But nurturing an artifact spirit was an exceedingly long process.
Even after spending a billion years, Jiang Feng had merely given the artifact spirit consciousness and considerable intelligence, allowing it to cultivate on its own. As for reaching the level of the God Burial Golden Coffin, that would require the accumulation of endless ages.
Ancient artifact spirits like that of the God Burial Golden Coffin had cultivated several times, or even dozens of times, longer than divine beings of the same realm.
Shattered Star in hand, divine power poured into it, and the spear shaft shifted at will!
Standing atop a mountain peak in the Golden Coffin World, he thrust out with his spear. The spear light moved freely according to his will, transforming into dragons, serpents, flying birds, lions, tigers, bears, and leopards!
Wherever the spear light struck, the earth cracked open, mud and stone flew everywhere, and mountains collapsed as the ground split apart!
"Not bad!" Jiang Feng was immensely satisfied with the reforged Shattered Star's power. He dearly wished to use the reforged Shattered Star to unleash his current most powerful divine skill, Finger of All Living Things, but after some thought, he decided against it.
