The Chaos Heavenly Halberd had been forged from premium Chaos immortal material that Zi Ye Daoist had found while traveling through the Chaos.
That Chaos ancient bronze was a rare Chaos divine material. Though it possessed no innate Dao patterns, its substance was indestructibly hard—more durable than many kinds of innate divine iron.
After forging the Chaos Heavenly Halberd, Zi Ye Daoist had inscribed twenty-four Taiyi Dao patterns within it, granting it the power to shatter heaven and destroy earth. Even among Taiyi ancient treasures, its might ranked at the very top.

Of course, advancing it into an innate ancient treasure was exceedingly difficult. Not only would it require innate qi to transform the Taiyi Dao patterns within the Chaos Heavenly Halberd, it would also demand extraordinarily profound artifact-refining attainments.
Without artifact-refining mastery at the ninth rank upper grade or above, even if one gathered all twenty-four strands of innate qi, they would likely still be unable to transform it into an innate ancient treasure.
Clang—
A thought surfaced in Chen Nianzhi's mind. He reached out and summoned the Chaos Heavenly Halberd, then gave it an experimental swing.
This premium Taiyi immortal treasure possessed astonishing power. If its full might could be unleashed, it would likely rival a mid-grade innate treasure and might even brush against the domain of upper-grade innate treasures.
However, such a treasure also consumed an immense amount of mana. At the very least, one needed the mana of a mid-stage Celestial Immortal merely to activate it.
Chen Nianzhi's current mana had not yet reached the level of three Taiyi foundations, so he naturally could not wield its ultimate power.
After all, this
