Dragon-Marked War God

“Get out of my way, all of you!”

An incomparable thunderous roar sounded in everyone’s ears, enough to shake heaven and earth and make ghosts weep. That feeling of ghosts wailing and wolves howling was enough to make one’s hair stand on end, and their faces became extremely grave.

The source of the voice was behind those streaks of fiery red sword qi. In front of the fiery red sword qi stood a fiery red figure, his eyes extremely sharp, staring without blinking at the enormous cauldron furnace before him, as if carrying an extremely violent air.

His fiery red long hair stood straight up, strand by strand, carrying a cold and bloodthirsty air. That sinister aura made Jiang Chen and the others watch this fiery red figure in silence, and no one acted rashly. Just from those streaks of fiery red sword qi earlier, they knew this guy was absolutely not simple. Could he be the legendary refining grandmaster?

“It’s him!”

Jian Dongliu said in a deep voice, narrowing his eyes. He recognized this person. It was the Drawing Sword Sect’s guest elder, the old monster who had not come out of the Lishan Sword Tomb in ten thousand years.

“Who is this?”

The silver-haired man frowned, his expression growing graver and graver, because this person was simply too strange. Streak after streak of fiery red sword qi shot out from his cauldron, yet he showed no strain at all. His hands kept trembling, as if controlling the cauldron before him.

“I saw him once when I was very young. As the Drawing Sword Sect’s guest elder, Tuoba Longyu was already at the Mid Divine Emperor Realm back then. Now his strength can only be even greater. He’s also a true refining grandmaster. No one knows how strong he is, and even less does anyone know what kind of divine weapons he can refine. Ever since I learned he existed, I’ve never seen him refine a single divine weapon for the Drawing Sword Sect. Yet the Drawing Sword Sect treats him with the highest courtesy.”

Jian Dongliu said in a low voice. At this time, he was the only one who knew who this fiery red figure was.

“A refining grandmaster?”

Jiang Chen frowned. It seemed this guy really did have some skill. Even he might not have such perfect mastery in controlling a cauldron. Jiang Chen had not refined any weapons for a long time, but with his current strength, refining a Low Grade Primal Origin Treasure should still be no problem.

As for a Mid Grade Primal Origin Treasure, Jiang Chen did not dare to guarantee it. Yet what this man was refining now was a Mid Grade Primal Origin Treasure.

Although Jiang Chen had not yet seen it, he could already sense it. That Primal Origin Treasure was like a raging, wild dragon, struggling without end, because every Primal Origin Treasure had a soul of its own. When a Primal Origin Treasure was refined, an artifact spirit was born along with it. Fusing the artifact spirit completely with the Primal Origin Treasure into one, and then taming the artifact spirit as well, was an extremely difficult thing.

This Tuoba Longyu seemed to be taming the artifact spirit. His strength aside, anyone able to refine a Mid Grade Primal Origin Treasure was absolutely no ordinary person.

“What he’s refining now should be the peerless divine sword the Sect Master mentioned.”

After Jian Dongliu finished speaking, no one acted rashly, and Tuoba Longyu did not seem to be in the mood to pay attention to them either. Only Jiang Chen knew that this was the most crucial moment of the refining. Not the slightest carelessness was allowed, or all the previous efforts might go to waste.

Suddenly, Tuoba Longyu grabbed a heavy hammer and brought it down on the fiery red cauldron, blow after blow. Everyone looked on blankly at this scene. Only Jiang Chen’s expression shifted slightly, because this refining method was exactly the same as the hammering method the Craftsman God had passed on to him back then!

“No, he isn’t Shangguan Hongyan, but he very likely has an extremely important connection to Shangguan Hongyan. Otherwise, he could never have gotten this hammering method. It’s so similar to the techniques in the Craftsman God’s Codex…”

Jiang Chen’s brows were tightly knit. But he knew that this moment was not yet the time for him to act. Everyone was waiting expectantly in silence. If he made a move now, he would surely become the target of everyone’s attacks.

At this moment, however, what interested Jiang Chen most was no longer just the peerless divine sword inside that fiery red cauldron. It was Tuoba Longyu’s background. Who exactly was he, and why did he know the hammering method from the Craftsman God’s Codex? Although it was only the simplest, most basic hammering method, it already had a touch of perfect mastery. Still, Jiang Chen could be sure that this guy had only learned a little of the surface of the Craftsman God’s Codex. Otherwise, it could never have been this difficult for him. If it had been Jiang Chen himself, this peerless divine sword might already be close to complete.

“Don’t let me find out who you are.”

Jiang Chen murmured. He would absolutely not let this person go. Through him, he might even find news of Shangguan Hongyan.

At this time, Tuoba Longyu’s expression grew graver and graver, yet he could not change the situation before him. To refine this Primal Origin Treasure, he had gone through countless years and countless hardships and gathered countless treasures, and now he was on the verge of success. But the artifact spirit was just too unruly. He could not completely tame it. The artifact spirit kept striking against the cauldron, and Tuoba Longyu’s situation was very difficult.

Jiang Chen knew that the guy had hit a bottleneck, even caught in a dilemma where he could neither advance nor retreat. He could no longer hold this peerless divine sword together, and it was very likely to fail at the final step because of this.

“Looks like it’s time for me to give you a hand.”

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Chen’s mouth. He had to act now, or else this peerless divine sword might completely collapse. Under the impact of the artifact spirit, this peerless divine sword would be in extreme trouble, and casting it would be as hard as climbing to heaven.

Jiang Chen’s pupils contracted. He grabbed a heavy hammer and, with a single decisive blow, slammed it down hard on the fiery red cauldron. At once, those streaks of fiery red sword qi gradually drew back. The artifact spirit took its final shape and was sealed inside the peerless divine sword.

This scene shocked everyone. Even Tuoba Longyu had not expected it at all. The peerless divine sword he had been struggling with for so long had been settled by an outsider with a single hammer blow. But Tuoba Longyu had no time to think about it, because the Primal Origin Treasure he had dreamed of had finally been successfully refined. A Mid Grade Primal Origin Treasure was something even Divine Emperor experts would treasure.

The fiery red long sword drew a streak of flowing light, its light and shadow crisscrossing, and directly split the cauldron apart.

“Hahaha, it’s finally done, I’ve finally refined it! The peerless divine sword, my peerless divine sword!”
