Chapter 1360: Saint Outwardly, Demon Inwardly (3)

"Reforging?"

The people outside the city were stunned.

The earthfire devil exclaimed in surprise, "What is he doing? Reforging? But he's only at the foundation forging phase. Why is he reforging so soon? This is too early. Is there even a need for a reforge?"

At this point, Heavenly Forge King was no longer ignoring the earthfire devil. He solemnly said, "Why is he reforging while he's only at the foundation forging phase? How is he going to complete the subsequent phases if he's reforging this early? He's not an Eternal. Can his stamina, source qi, and willpower keep up with this?"

Su Yu's action puzzled a lot of weaponsmiths.

However, the reforging of only seventy-two golden stripes was still something acceptable for them. It wasn't that incredible of a feat. They were merely surprised by how early Su Yu was doing this.

Most people had believed that Su Yu was forging an earth weapon. Now that a golden stripe was starting to fade, a confused layman asked, "Did he fail? Why is the golden stripe fading?"

Those aware of what was happening merely ignored the question. What a fool. He should shut his mouth to avoid showing his ignorance. A failure? How did he reach the conclusion that the reduction of golden stripes was a sign of failure?

A major race expert smiled and explained, "It's the reforging method. This is the only way a skilled and confident weaponsmith can further strengthen a weapon. After removing all the existing golden stripes and reforging all seventy-two golden stripes on the weapon, it will be much stronger than regular earth weapons while the exertion of using the weapon will remain at the level of a profound weapon. This is the dream weapon of many experts."

Understanding dawned on many.

That sounded impressive. A profound weapon stronger than earth weapons with a low level of exertion when using the weapon. There seemed to be a lot of benefit to using such a weapon.

Someone asked the speaker, "Immortal Lord Huo Qi, Su-Mayor Su can simply use an earth weapon instead. Why is he insisting on reforging the weapon?"

"Foundation building."

The speaker replied, "Up until now, Mayor Su has only working on the foundation of the weapon. His goal is not an ordinary earth weapon. He is most likely planning to forge an incomparably powerful earth weapon. If Su Yu can really complete the forging, it will indicate that he is already better than regular earth weaponsmiths."

While they were speaking, the first golden stripe finally faded away. The disappearance of the golden stripe had somehow strengthened the scholarly feel the weapon was emanating. Each golden stripe was the embodiment of a weapon's prowess. With the golden stripe forced into the weapon itself by Su Yu, it would naturally further strengthen the weapon.

One golden stripe after another faded away.

Eight more hours passed. The reforging was finally complete. All the golden stripes had faded away while the sky was already dark.

Su Yu had worked on this weapon for sixteen continuous hours.

Everyone was shocked at how much endurance he had. His endurance was far beyond that of a normal person.

Su Yu did not stop here. After heaving a sigh of relief, he continued the forging even as his body dripped with sweat.

After sixteen continuous hours of high-intensity forging, his body was showing signs of breakthrough. However, he suppressed it forcefully as this still wasn't the right time for an advancement.

During the second forging, the golden stripes were appearing at a much faster speed than before.

***

After only six hours, all seventy-two golden stripes were back on the weapon.

That was not all. There was also an incomplete golden stripe on the weapon, marking this weapon as a pseudo earth weapon.

The air warped and trembled slightly, as though a heavenly reward was about to appear.

Heavenly rewards would rarely appear for regular earth weapons. However, Su Yu was forging no ordinary earth weapon. Furthermore, it a weapon of righteousness. With a roar, he slammed his hammer down one more time, completing the seventy-third golden stripe.

An earth weapon was born.

At the same time, a burst of gentle power appeared in the sky. The gentle power entered the book instantly, followed by numerous multicolored clouds from the sky. Together, they further refined the book.

Su Yu was all smiles. He had seen this coming. Sure enough, his guess was correct.

At the very least, it was still a reward for now. He realized that even the laws could be fooled. He had yet to complete his weapon, but the frame of his book had indeed been forged in the direction of a righteous weapon. It was a weapon of the righteous dao.

It had a kind, righteous, scholarly, and refined aura to it. The book frame was a weapon fit for saints. The crowd outside the city exclaimed in shock. The earth weapon had been completed. It had even attracted a heavenly reward.

Incredible.

This wasn't the first time the birth of an earth weapon had attracted a heavenly reward. However, it would only happen one out of a hundred times. Surprisingly, Su Yu had generated a heavenly reward for the very first earth weapon he forged.

With this, he could be considered an official earth weaponsmith. If it wasn't for his seemingly endless number of enemies, this identity alone would be enough for him to live a good life in the Myriad Realms.

***

"So is this it?"

This did not seem like that big of a deal.

It was far below expectations. The weapon had instantly gained three additional golden stripes after absorbing the heavenly reward, reaching seventy-six golden stripes. It could be considered a decent weapon among early earth weapons.

However...it was still only an early earth weapon. Almost all the geniuses and experts had present had such weapons in possession.

After all, even Mountainseas could wield earth weapons. An earth weapon was extremely rare for a regular person, but it wasn't rare for the geniuses and experts of the various races.

After causing such a big ruckus and spending such a long time, Su Yu had only produced an early earth weapon. In truth, it was quite disappointing for many. They felt like they had waited here for nothing.

***

Inside the mayor's residence.

Zhao Li and the others stood up. The others believed that this was the end of the forging. But they all knew that this was only the start.

Zhao Tianbing smiled, "Well done, Kid. What courage. What ambition. You dare to fool even the heavenly laws."

Saintly weapon? Nonsense. This was nothing but a calamitous weapon.

For some reason, Su Yu had opted to forge the frame of his calamitous weapon into a saintly weapon. And the heavens had deemed it fit for a reward. Zhao Tianbing felt like his horizons had been expanding by witnessing how Su Yu worked.

Next, they would finally proceed with the calamitous part of the weapon. Things could get thorny.

Su Yu laughed and said, "The laws are indeed fair. They agree that my weapon is one of benevolence and righteousness. It is meant to touch and educate all beings in existence."

Abruptly, his presence changed. With a solemn voice, he declared, "Everyone, I will start properly forging the weapon now. Please stay further away from me for the following part or things might get troublesome for you."

They nodded.

Su Yu looked at Zhao Li and said, "Teacher, I might even be struck by lightning during the following part. I will resist it. But the forging can't stop. Please be on standby to take over the forging at any point."

Zhao Li nodded. Manifesting a large hammer in his hand, he inhaled deeply and promised, "Don't worry."

"Let us start."

A floating page was plucked from the air by Su Yu. When it was tossed to the book, a bloody aura erupted as the book and the page clashed. At that moment, a hammer dropped down on them, creating a deafening rumble.

The golden projection in the sky gained a hint of red.

Above the page, a massive beast was roaring, seemingly in defiance of this imprisonment. It roared and struggled, yet it couldn't avoid being slammed into the book by Su Yu's hammer strikes.

This process was a lot more exhausting than before. The projection in the sky started trembling violently as the tinge of red rippled all over the weapon.

Even those who were about to leave, thinking the show was over, looked over blankly.

Previously, the projection was surrounded by a saintly and gentle white radiance. But now, it was emanating a bloody and ferocious aura.

Understanding dawned on the better weaponsmiths in the crowd. Heavenly Forge King sighed and said helplessly, "I knew it. How could that kid be a kind person? Sure enough, we had only been looking at the foundation building. He's still forging a weapon of calamity."

Nan Wujiang observed the projection for a bit and nodded, "Things seemed off previously. But now, nothing seems off anymore."

Why was Su Yu pretending to be a kind and righteous man? He had killed too many people to put on such a facade.

In the sky, crimson clouds started appearing, as though the heavenly laws were infuriated. It appeared as though they were furious at being fooled, but there was also the possibility that these crimson clouds would appear no matter what since Su Yu was now forging a weapon of calamity.

However, the clouds had yet to fully transform into a tribulation. But if Su Yu persisted, a tribulation would descend from the heavens.

A page had been added to the book.

The golden stripes on the weapon remained the same, but a large number of crimson clouds had appeared in the sky. Su Yu ignored the crimson clouds and plucked another page before adding it to the book with a swing of his hammer. Yet again, a beast appeared atop the page and started roaring.

Strike after strike, Su Yu hammered the beast back into the book expressionlessly.

At that, the crimson clouds in the sky increased in intensity.

Third page. Fourth page...

When the fifth page was added, the seventy-seventh golden stripe appeared.

Right at that moment, the crimson clouds assumed a humanoid form and descended upon Su Yu.

***

"Blood tribulation," muttered Heavenly Forge King.

Beside him, Yun Chen frowned and said, "This is only the first wave. If Su Yu doesn't stop, a tribulation will arrive with the addition of each golden stripe. He has to stop. If this continues, the tribulation will grow in strength. Even the first tribulation is already comparable to a Mountainsea in strength."

At seventy-seven golden stripes, the weapon had produced a tribulation at the level of a Mountainsea.

As everyone watched attentively, a roar rang out, "I am your tribulation, not the other way around."

A massive mouth appeared in the sky before swallowing the entire blood humanoid. With a rumble, the Su Yu consumed the tribulation and scattered the crimson clouds in the sky. Having done that, Su Yu snorted. How dare a mere Mountainsea act as his tribulation?

But that tribulation had appeared at a timely manner. A blood tribulation was good at further tempering his body. He had been feeling annoyed at his body since it was trying to advance. With the tribulation, he could suppress it for a bit more.

"What a savage."

Was a Mountainsea tribulation really that weak? Yet that savage had swallowed it with one bite before returning to his forging. Clearly, a tribulation of such level couldn't harm him at all.

Su Yu continued working on his weapon. Once again, crimson clouds converged in the sky. A weapon of calamity shall be punished. Such was the way of the heavens.

At the moment, the projection was dominated by two colors: white and red. The white represented the saintly power of the weapon while the red represented the calamitous power of the weapon.

A saint and a demon in one body.

Six more pages were added to the book. With a rumble, yet another golden stripe appeared. Up in the sky, a red humanoid appeared and descended on Su Yu and the book yet again. Holding his hammer in one hand, Su Yu formed a fist with his other hand. With one punch, he blasted the red humanoid apart. Next, the blood character appeared and consumed the remnants of the red humanoid clean. Nothing was left behind.

Su Yu continued forging. Again, more crimson clouds appeared in the sky.

***

"What a crazy kid."

Hidden somewhere in the void, the Heaven Department head shook his head and said, "He has ordered a lot more materials than us. This won't be the end. This kid is clearly aiming for a heaven weapon. At this rate, even Sunmoon tribulations will start appearing."

"Crazy indeed. I had thought that he was only forging a saintly weapon. But instead, he's forging a weapon of carnage. He is still as murderous as ever."

"Who would ever believe that he's forging a saintly weapon? I have been doubting that since the start."

"..."

The Invincibles started talking among themselves. Su Yu was putting out quite an enjoyable show. Fortunately, he had not stopped at a mere earth weapon. For these Invincibles, watching the descent of tribulations was akin to watching a show.

After all, it wasn't often that the heavenly laws manifested in the world.
