Chapter 398: Chapter 396 Artifact Refining (25 more!)

“This Forbidden Divine Art, with my current Cultivation Base, is still too much of a strain,”

Looking back at the entrance to the Mountain of the Divine Medicine that had been completely sealed by runes, Su Han’s complexion was pale, and there was still a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

The Forbidden Divine Art, also known as the Body-Sealing Technique.

What had just happened was not truly a cessation of time, but rather, Su Han had sealed the movements and the lives of everything within ten thousand miles—every living being that could move!

This technique is a Forbidden Art, also known to Mages as a Forbidden Curse!

Logically, Mages who can cast a Forbidden Curse are usually at the level of a Magic God, or if we step back, a Magic Saint could also pay a great price to cast one.

However, all this is predicated on obtaining and possessing a Forbidden Curse.

And with Su Han’s current Cultivation as a Fifth Order Grand Magus, casting a Forbidden Curse would definitely have damaged his foundations if not for some integration with his Martial Path Cultivation.

Even more so, it could have sapped the lifespan he was supposed to have!

Which means, if Su Han could have lived for ten years, using a Forbidden Curse would only allow him to live for five!

“From ancient times till now, whether in the Star Region or the Holy Domain, no one has ever been able to cast a Forbidden Curse with the Cultivation of a Fifth Order Grand Magus, not even the lowest level of Forbidden Curse!”

Despite his pale face and huge exhaustion, Su Han’s lips curved into a smile.

“But having condensed Martial Path Cultivation, I can cast a low-level Forbidden Curse without any significant damage!”

“The research from my previous life has not gone to waste, although my soul was scattered in the end, it led to my reincarnation. Perhaps this is a gift from destiny, or maybe… I am truly capable of breaking destiny!”

Taking a deep breath, Su Han popped several Pills into his mouth.

Nowadays, he had too many Pills, uncountably many, inexhaustible, all plundered from the Sect of the Battle God.

The consumption of these Pills immediately improved Su Han’s complexion somewhat.

Within his body, the threads of Spiritual Power, which originally appeared smooth and full, now seemed somewhat shriveled, clearly indicating that the previous use of the Forbidden Divine Art had drained the Spiritual Energy within those threads.

However, this draining had not caused the Spiritual Power threads to vanish.

The Spiritual Power threads were like the Dragon Pills found in the Dragon Pill Realm; as long as they did not disappear, they could be replenished by Pills.

In other words, the effects of Su Han devouring those Dragon Pills were still present.

“These disciples of the Super Sects have just entered the Mountain of the Divine Medicine, and although they are rushing forward hastily, they will naturally slow down after realizing the dangers within the mountain. Now is not the right time to act against them.”

After pondering, Su Han’s palm flipped, bringing forth a substantial amount of weapon forging materials.

“It’s time to find a place to forge a suitable weapon for myself,”

Now that he possessed the Heaven Opening God Cauldron and these materials, along with his Cultivation as a Fifth Order Grand Magus, he could easily produce extremely intense Flames—everything needed for Artifact Refining was within his grasp.

And since his rebirth, Su Han’s weapons had always been ones seized from others; he had never specifically crafted one for himself.

Keep in mind, in his previous life, apart from being the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor, he was also among the top-ranked Alchemists and Artifact Refiners in the Holy Domain!

After a moment of thought, Su Han’s gaze swept around and his aura concealed, he could see many figures moving into the distance, but none of them noticed him.

Even if they did notice, they would think he was a disciple from some Sect, as it was impossible to remember all three hundred thousand individuals.

A moment later, Su Han rose to his feet, transforming into a streak of light, and vanished from the place.

He did not go far but found the foot of a mountain and, just as he did outside the Mountain of Divine Medicine, he carved out a cave mansion.

Within this Mountain of Divine Medicine, magic elements were likewise present.

With a downward swipe of his hand, Su Han immediately conjured a Thunder Curtain to shroud the cave mansion.

After completing these preparations, he sat down cross-legged. With a flash of his Space Ring, the Heaven Opening God Cauldron appeared.

“Although this item temporarily does not have much use, it can increase the success rate of artifact refining and alchemy by several times. Just by this merit alone, it lives up to the name of Heaven Opening God Cauldron.”

Su Han smiled slightly and then, with a wave of his hand, a flame burst forth with a woosh underneath the Heaven Opening God Cauldron.

The appearance of this flame immediately plunged the surrounding space into darkness.

Even the entire cave mansion seemed to be engulfed in a sea of fire at this moment. It was fairly bright before, but upon the appearance of this flame, it turned pitch black!

“Not too bad,” Su Han murmured to himself. As his gaze flickered, a large quantity of materials appeared.

These materials were all acquired from the Sect of the Battle God.

There were hundreds of pieces, each of a Purple Gold Level quality.

In the hands of those from the Sect of the Battle God, these materials could at best be refined into Purple Gold Level items, but in the hands of Su Han…

“Refine!”

Su Han suddenly exclaimed, and dozens of pieces of material entered the Heaven Opening God Cauldron.

In that instant, the Heaven Opening God Cauldron shone brightly, the temperature of the flame surged again, and, under this tremendous increase, those Purple Gold Level materials almost instantly melted into a thick liquid!

That thick liquid shimmered with a strong Purple Gold hue, looking exceedingly dazzling and precious.

Su Han did not hesitate. After these materials turned into a thick liquid, he waved his hand and added some more materials.

Among these materials, some were only the size of a palm, others the size of a finger, while some were as large as an ordinary person, and still others were several meters long.

Logically, just one piece of the several-meter-long material could refine two or even three Purple Gold Level weapons or pieces of equipment.

But at Su Han’s, they were all unhesitatingly turned into a liquid without any pause.

Relatively speaking, it was indeed too extravagant. If someone else were to witness this scene, they would surely feel heartache to the extreme.

As time passed, those hundreds of pieces of materials were all tossed by Su Han into the Heaven Opening God Cauldron.

After a day, the liquid reached a certain volume and started to boil and bubble continuously.

A flash in Su Han’s eyes and the flame suddenly disappeared. With a sweep of his sleeves, the thick liquid inside the Heaven Opening God Cauldron transformed into a dragon-like stream, surging out from the mouth of the cauldron.

With a slap to the ground, the ground immediately shattered into dust, and large chunks of earth converged at that moment, ultimately forming a stone platform.

This stone platform was created by Su Han using Earth Element Magic. It wasn’t high-level, but it was extremely hard.

On top of the stone platform was a deep groove, shaped like a long knife.
