Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 2281: Chapter 2280: Hope for Immortal Artifact!

The shattering of this Blood Crystal was within Su Han’s expectations.

”Under the fusion of a hundred pieces of Spirit-Level Artifact Refining Materials, a qualitative change has occurred, reaching Profound Level, whereas this Blood Crystal is only First Level, unable to withstand the liquid formed by Profound Level Artifact Refining Materials, leading to the collapse.”

Su Han slightly frowned: ”This matter can indeed be understood. However, that Eighth Level Blood Crystal, could it be the same as this First Level Blood Crystal, capable only of merging with Sub-Immortal Level materials?”

There is no doubt that if it could only merge with Sub-Immortal Level materials, Su Han would definitely be unsatisfied.

Sub-Immortal Artifacts, though regarded as the pinnacle equipment in Lower-Class Star Region, are exceedingly rare in quantity.

But... there are still some.

Perhaps, among the Seventy-Two Sects, there aren’t any Sub-Immortal Artifacts, but the Three Teachings and even the Nine Factions definitely possess them!

The Four Great Dao Academies and the Starry Alliance surely have them!

In this context, even if Phoenix Sect possesses one Sub-Immortal Artifact, it does not grant much of an advantage unless in exceedingly large quantities.

However, this scenario is almost a pipe dream.

The Eighth Level Extraterritorial Demons are just those few, not to mention whether the Blood Crystal can be obtained after slaughtering them, even if it can be acquired, the success rate is uncertain, leaving the number of Sub-Immortal Artifacts created unknown.

If one wishes to thoroughly suppress those forces via equipment alone, unless... an Immortal Artifact can be refined!

Even a low-grade Immortal Artifact would be considered a wondrous treasure in the Lower-Class Star Region!

Immortal Artifacts cannot be found or drift into Lower-Class Star Region.

It’s like a strong powerhouse from Immortal Realm cannot descend upon the Lower-Class Star Region. Once arrived, it would lead to the collapse of the Lower-Class Star Region.

However, if an Immortal Artifact is refined locally within the Lower-Class Star Region, it can indeed be preserved!

Therefore...

”The Nine Factions might not hold, but among the Three Teachings, Immortal Artifacts probably exist!”

Su Han thought quietly: ”Yet, within the Lower-Class Star Region, the highest level is merely a Sub-Immortal Level expert. To refine an Immortal Artifact would require a Sub-Immortal expert to break through to the Immortal Realm, and during their brief stay in the Lower-Class Star Region, refine an Immortal Artifact to be preserved.”

”This sort of coincidence surely won’t be abundant, hence even if there are Immortal Artifacts among the Three Teachings, they probably total merely one or two pieces at most!”

”If this Eighth Level Blood Crystal possesses strong resilience, able to withstand liquid at Immortal Level, then I’ll have the confidence to refine an Immortal Artifact!”

Upon reaching this point, Su Han’s eyes gleamed: ”And, in the whole Lower-Class Star Region, there is not just one Eighth Level Extraterritorial Demon. Even if not many, refining three or even four Immortal Artifacts would greatly bolster the overall strength of Phoenix Sect once again!”

The might of Immortal Artifacts, earth-shattering!

Perhaps in the Middle-Class Star Regions, Immortal Artifacts may not count for much, but within the Lower-Class Star Region, they are absolute treasures.

Like a realm at Immortal Level existing in Middle-Class Star Regions is considered elementary, whereas within the Lower-Class Star Region, it’s considered a peak powerhouse!

A world of its own, a level of its own.

An Immortal Artifact within the equipment of Lower-Class Star Region takes the utmost order!

An Immortal Artifact could offer immense, indescribable battle power enhancement to an individual.

Though only those above Sub-Immortal Level can use Immortal Artifacts, and at most unleash only one-tenth of its power, Su Han has methods to let Phoenix Sect members utilize Immortal Artifacts at Dao Sovereign Realm.

Moreover...

Exerting full power!

”Hoo...”

Su Han’s gaze wavered, taking a deep breath, a strong anticipation surfaced upon his face.

”If I could indeed refine Immortal Artifacts relying on this Blood Crystal, then at least my Phoenix Sect would be worry-free in self-preservation!”

...

In the following time, Su Han undertook various attempts.

How many Profound Level materials need fusion to evolve into Ghost Level liquid.

Further, how many Ghost Level materials need fusion to evolve into Imperial Rank liquid.

And, what the resilience of the Second Level Blood Crystal is, and what the resilience of the Third Level Blood Crystal is, and so forth...

Clearly, this process was extremely intricate.

Su Han needed to simulate time and again, experimenting repeatedly, then facing success or failure time and again.

Fortunately, this happened within the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

Since Su Han reached Third-Grade Unity Order, the time flow within the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son already increased by two thousand five hundred times!

A year outside, two thousand five hundred years inside.

This is truly a terrifying amplification that equivalently enables Phoenix Sect disciples invisibly to accelerate cultivation speed by two thousand five hundred times compared to others!

Of course, the passage of time, whether inside or outside the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, counts towards one’s lifespan.

So it means a disciple possibly possessing two thousand five hundred years of lifespan will live two thousand five hundred years outside and likewise within the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

Yet, upon conversion, equivalent externally to... just a year!

Under this terrifying acceleration, the lifespan consumption rate for Phoenix Sect disciples is clearly immense.

If able to break through, one will acquire more lifespan; if not, then death is inevitable...

Thankfully, Phoenix Sect disciples consumed plenty of Blood Crystal that greatly increased their terrifyingly extensive lifespan, allowing them to afford it.

...

Time moved on.

According to the time inside the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, one year, two years, three years, four years...

Ten years, twenty years, thirty years, forty years...

Here, time seemed cheap, frantically yet silently passing.

Until reaching the first thousand-year mark, Su Han’s unmoving figure finally slightly shivered.

”Hoo...”

He exhaled a deep breath, bloodshot eyes filled with veins.

Clearly, Artifact Refining is not like cultivation; despite having Blood Crystal, which serves as a veritable cheat item, the effort Su Han expended was still enormous.

However, such expenditure was not without return.

A smile gradually rose at the corners of Su Han’s mouth, increasingly broader, deeper...

”Hahahaha...”

Finally, gazing upon the two Eighth Level Blood Crystals in his hands, he erupted in laughter.

”One Eighth Level Blood Crystal cannot endure Immortal Level Spiritual Liquid, however, these Eighth Level Blood Crystals under my Divine Fusion Art, can merge with each other!” Su Han’s face brimming with excitement.

The two Eighth Level Blood Crystals in his hand now appeared larger than before, with a deeper crimson hue, as if real blood flowed inside.

”Four Eighth Level Blood Crystals, now transformed into two, but can... withstand the force of Immortal Level Spiritual Liquid!”

”With Immortal Level Spiritual Liquid, I can rely upon the Artifact Refining Techniques from my past life, coupled with Divine Fusion Art, to refine... Immortal Artifacts!!!”
