I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

As Shen Ming stepped into this area, the surrounding air immediately became incredibly heavy.

The ground was littered with shattered furnaces, broken hammers, and fragments of metal.

The next moment, the metal began to vibrate, emitting an eerie hum.

The fragments of divine weapons, and even the rusty broken swords, all emitted considerable noise, their metallic light flowing as if they possessed life.

A massive meteorite rose from the ruins, its surface covered with chilling runes, and a pair of scarlet points of light shone from within, deathly still and icy.

Immediately afterwards, a broken divine sword floated up on its own, ancient forbidden patterns appearing on its blade, and a faint, low sword hum echoed, like the wailing of ghosts and gods.

Moreover, the casting table, furnace, and divine hammer were all moving, as if ancient life was slowly awakening, and a forbidden aura that did not belong to the mortal world permeated the air.

A forbidden metal being?!

Shen Ming was startled; this was the first time he had ever seen anything like it. The workshop was more like a cave, and the metals were like those of ferocious beasts.

Metal fragments, baring their fangs and claws, came from all directions, trying to encase him like an iron ingot.

"They didn't run away, and they even attacked me. These guys."

Shen Ming was greatly surprised; the forbidden zones of life in the upper realm were indeed different.

"town!"

With a wave of his hand, the River-Suppressing Stone Tablet appeared from the void, accompanied by a cold, clear light. The inscriptions on the tablet emitted a faint glow in the darkness, as if even the heavens and earth trembled.

The moment the stone tablet rose, the metal fragments, broken swords, and ruined furnaces froze, then emitted a piercing creaking sound as they twisted and deformed, as if they were being pressed down by an invisible force, unable to move.

Finally, with a deafening roar, all the metal monsters vanished instantly, turning into endless ashes.

"This is the power we haven't seen in a long time! The power of Tianpeng should be a bit stronger than that of the Great Luo Dao Lord," Shen Mingxin said.

After these forbidden creatures were eliminated, the entire workshop was transformed, and beneath the extinguished furnace lay a powerful energy.

"Could this place have once been a place where divine weapons were forged?"

Shen Ming looked toward the furnace, and under the eyes of the Origin God, everything was laid out before him.

The furnace is still usable, but it requires extraordinary divine fire to ignite!

Shen Ming's eyes lit up. His Sun God Fire was not strong enough to forge a divine weapon, but it could ignite the furnace!

"it's time."

He stood before the ancient furnace, his gaze firm and profound.

With a thought, the Sun God Fire erupted forth, like flames woven from countless blazing suns, instantly engulfing the surrounding air, carrying an intense heat and radiating endless light.

In an instant, the entire workshop seemed to tremble, and the ancient stone walls emitted a deep rumble.

As the divine fire was lit, the furnace gradually became red-hot, and the embers shimmered in the light of the divine fire.

A wave of intense heat instantly spread out, and the air in the entire workshop seemed to become scorching.

Shen Ming retreated repeatedly, and the divine fire became even more intense, rising up like a scorching sun.

The entire workshop became scorching and oppressive, and was completely revived.

Shen Ming took out pieces of immortal gold that emitted a deep radiance from the colorful cloud bag.

There are three types: Tianya Gold, Hongmeng Iron, and Sunstone Forging Stone.

Its surface shimmered with a unique golden luster, but the luster immediately dimmed after it came into contact with the heavens and earth above.

Its grade keeps declining, turning from celestial gold into pieces of star iron. This is what celestial gold from the lower realm would look like if it were brought to the Jade Capital.

He lacks the Heaven and Earth Furnace of the Heavenly Mandate Divine Palace, making the transformation impossible.

However, the "Hengyu Jing" can transform them back into celestial gold.

Everything follows the principle of balance. This method requires a lot of iron; it takes one hundred catties of celestial gold from the lower realm to forge one catty of celestial gold from the upper realm.

In the lower realm, celestial gold is traded by the gram, with each gram costing millions of divine resources.

A pound of immortal gold is enough to cause great sects and holy lands to break their heads.

Shen Ming has several hundred kilograms on him, most of which came from the Holy Emperor's Treasure Realm, and some from the Heavenly God Academy and the Supreme Immortal Palace Treasury.

In the Upper Realm, several hundred kilograms of star iron are also quite valuable. The "Eternal Universe Scripture" can turn them into treasure, refining them into three kilograms of immortal gold, which can be used as the prototype of a sword pellet.

"rise!"

Shen Ming lifted his Hengyu Cauldron with one hand, threw hundreds of kilograms of immortal gold into it, and then began to refine it again and again using the methods of the Hengyu Scripture.

Once it had completely turned into liquid gold, Shen Ming intensified the fire, causing it to continuously condense.

A quarter of an hour later, the hundred catties of star iron in the Hengyu Cauldron turned into one catty of immortal gold.

Then, Shen Ming repeated the process and obtained the three kinds of immortal gold he wanted.

Without hesitation or delay, he threw all the immortal gold into the divine furnace.

Compared to the Hengyu Cauldron, the Divine Fire Furnace reacted much more violently, with flames shooting into the sky and the entire workshop shaking.

Shen Ming took a deep breath, gathered his sword power, and then used the "Eternal Universe Scripture" to condense a divine weapon forging hammer!

As the hammer fell, the temperature of the entire furnace surged again, and the flames roared and surged, seemingly about to devour the sky.

The molten gold in the furnace surged like ocean waves, causing the surrounding air to fluctuate violently and create ripples.

"boom!"

With another burst of light, the celestial gold in the furnace surged like a torrent, its golden light illuminating the entire space.

The divine furnace roared excitedly, seemingly responding to Shen Ming and welcoming the long-awaited forging process.

Shen Ming did not pause and swung the hammer down again.

The impact caused tiny cracks to appear in the surrounding space, and the immortal metal burst forth with intense golden light under the hammer blow, as if it were about to melt the entire starry sky.

After nearly a hundred strikes, the Immortal Gold had already taken the shape of a sword pellet.

Shen Ming's entire swordsmanship is condensed into the patterns and shape of the sword pellet.

The thunderous sound of hammers echoed throughout the workshop, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were splitting.

From the outside, the fragmented area appears to be ablaze, like a dormant star reigniting.

The commotion was so great that it could be clearly seen even outside the forbidden zone.

"Huh? Isn't that a fragment of the former Heavenly Forging Palace? Why is there such a commotion?"

As luck would have it, several human cultivators nearby noticed the commotion.

Unlike Shen Ming, who was unfamiliar with this forbidden zone of life, they knew it very well.

The Heavenly Forging Palace, the place where Baiyujing forged unparalleled divine weapons, has now become the most dangerous fragment area, where the forbidden metal life forms are impossible to defend against.

After much hesitation, they couldn't resist and entered the restricted area, heading towards this region.

Once they got close enough, their expressions changed drastically.

"This is the movement of celestial weapons!! Celestial weapons have been born!"

"Calm down! Don't forget where you are; this could be a trap set by forbidden creatures."

They hesitated, their hearts restless.

The opportunity to become emperors through the celestial weapons will definitely allow them to do so!

But this is a forbidden zone for life, and cannot be judged by common sense.

If you think there are easy gains waiting for you in the forbidden zones of life, then you're not far from death.
