A great emperor master every day—the good-for-nothing young master is having a blast!

A flame ignited in Chen Yue's palm.

The road ahead was no longer pitch black, illuminated by the light of a bright fire.

The structure of this virtual world is very simple.

Chen Yue was standing on a solid rock.

Listen carefully to the sounds below; it seems like something liquid is slowly flowing.

"Lava?" Chen Yue muttered.

Not far away, a large sledgehammer was firmly fixed to the wall, and a familiar light was still flashing rhythmically.

Chen Yue walked slowly over, when a rock suddenly collapsed, and the flowing lava below almost swallowed him up.

Fortunately, he was careful enough that an icicle quickly condensed, giving Chen Yue a foothold.

When ice and fire clashed, a large amount of white mist rose up and drifted into the air in an instant.

"So what if you're stuck inside the wall? Do you think I can't do anything to you?"

Chen Yue mobilized his source energy, condensing dozens of dark red spheres, and casually tossed them against the wall.

"burst!"

At a command, dozens of source explosions detonated.

Its power was so great that the sound was earth-shattering, causing rocks to crumble.

Except for the ground beneath Chen Yue's feet, which had not yet collapsed, the path he came from had long since sunk to the bottom of the magma.

Although the explosion occurred directly beneath the sledgehammer, the actual damage was felt on the edge, which was dozens or even hundreds of meters away.

The hammer was not damaged by the source explosion at all; it didn't even manage to blast away a single small pebble.

Everything remained unchanged except for the dozens of source explosions that Chen Yue had just thrown out, which exploded with a bang.

"It's illogical that this can't be blown open."

"But being in a virtual world inside a celestial weapon is inherently illogical."

"If once isn't enough, then try again!"

Dozens of dark red source explosions suddenly appeared behind Chen Yue.

This time, each source explosion is significantly larger than before, and its power is bound to be increased as well.

"Keep bombing!"

With a deafening roar, the sound was as powerful as a thunderbolt.

We tried again, and the result was the same as before.

The two explosions didn't even cause the smallest cracks, let alone pulverize the object.

"That's strange, why didn't the Sky-Shattering Source Explosion work?"

"In that case, let's try the Cold Rain Ice Illusion Technique."

Chen Yue touched the rock that sealed the great hammer and planted a source energy imprint on it.

"The Cold Rain Ice Illusion Technique: A Dead End!"

"So what if it's a land of lava? Let's see if you can break through this time!"

Dozens of dark red ice cones condensed, capturing the aura of the source force imprint.

As if it had found some source, it pierced through at an astonishing speed.

A series of crisp sounds rang out, and in the blink of an eye, the sharp and thick icicles turned into shattered ice all over the ground.

"They're quite troublesome. Hopefully they won't be able to produce it!"

Whether it's the earth-shattering explosion of the Primordial Supreme Technique or the dead end of the Cold Rain Ice Illusion Technique.

Despite trying every means, they were unable to cause any real damage to the rocks in front of them.

For a moment, Chen Yue was in a dilemma.

If none of the tricks work, what should we do? Should we pull it out by hand?

With the sledgehammer firmly embedded in the rock, the possibility of pulling it out by hand was extremely slim.

But right now there's really no better way; all the tricks have been used up, and only brute force remains.

"There's no other way, let's give it a try."

The moment Chen Yue touched the sledgehammer, an unforgettable, searing sensation surged through his heart.

Even so, Chen Yue held on tightly, not letting go even a little.

"It's just a virtual world, don't even think about hurting me!"

Despite the excruciating burning pain, he tried his best to pull the sledgehammer out.

No matter how hard I tried, it wouldn't budge.

Chen Yue was truly out of options. He had used all his source energy techniques and brute force, but he still couldn't produce the giant hammer.

"This virtual world seems simple. As long as we take out the hammer, we can definitely get out."

"But why am I so helpless?"

Chen Yue stood still, pondering a solution.

He's exhausted all his options; is he really going to be stuck here forever?

After thinking it over, Chen Yue suddenly remembered what the Qingxuan Emperor had told him.

"Infuse it with source energy..."

Chen Yue clapped his hands, realizing a path he had never considered before.

His way of thinking is clearly out of touch with reality.

There were no hints or instructions whatsoever, and he was asked to take the sledgehammer out of the rock.

He just subconsciously thought that when he appeared in this illusory world and saw the hammer embedded in the rock.

"Perhaps what Professor Qingxuan said also applies to the virtual world."

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Chen Yue placed his right hand on the gleaming hammer.

A dark red source of energy slowly flowed into it.

If this doesn't work, then Chen Yue might be trapped in this illusory world of heavenly soldiers.

But the result was good in the end; the hammer turned into a wisp of dark red light and disappeared into the back of Chen Yue's right hand.

A hammer-shaped mark was left on the back of his hand.

Before he could even react, he had already left the virtual world and returned to the real world.

"Where's my hammer? Where's my hammer?"

Chen Yue looked at the ground and then at his surroundings, but he couldn't see the hammer-shaped mark on the back of his right hand.

Qingxuan said calmly, "Disciple, look at the back of your hand."

"That heavenly weapon forged from crimson has become one with you."

Upon hearing Qingxuan's reminder, Chen Yue raised his right hand and looked at the back of his hand with some skepticism.

To his surprise, there really was a hammer-shaped mark.

Having learned from his experience with the Ancient Tower of Babel, Chen Yue was able to summon the giant hammer with ease.

With just a thought, the hammer-shaped mark on the back of his hand transformed into a wisp of dark red light once again, drifting into Chen Yue's hand and solidifying into a physical form.

Holding the sledgehammer, Chen Yue felt incredibly powerful and couldn't wait to have a fight and test the power of the new Heavenly Soldiers.

Tianji, however, was filled with worry, his gaze darting back and forth, unwilling to look at the large hammer in Chen Yue's hand.

He crafted thousands, if not tens of thousands, of weapons, most of which were celestial soldiers.

For Tianji, the difficulty of forging an imperial weapon is self-evident. It depends on the skill of the weapon refiner and the stringent requirements for the quality of the materials.

But heavenly soldiers, aren't those things that can be created at will?

The giant hammer that Tianji forged for Chen Yue was designed with the aim of being a top-tier celestial weapon.

Unexpectedly, the final product was far from satisfactory.

"Even if, as Brother Qingxuan said, a piece of top-quality Crimson Obsidian material is about to run out of energy and die."

"But in the end, he's not dead yet, so forging him into a top-tier heavenly weapon is no problem at all."

"I didn't expect that the final rank would only be at the level of a mid-level Heavenly Soldier."

"If it weren't for the remaining energy in the Crimson Obsidian playing a crucial role in the forging process, it wouldn't even have reached the level of a mid-level Heavenly Soldier."

"I almost forged a piece of scrap metal that was only good for a low-level celestial weapon. Has my weapon-forging skill really dropped to this level?"

The Heavenly Emperor developed deep self-doubt, and the severe decline in his power caused this ancient emperor to become anxious.

His current mood is exactly the same as Qingxuan's when he refined a supreme pill and fell into confusion.

The Heavenly Emperor couldn't help but ask himself, "Do I really know how to forge weapons?"
