Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

The Blood Sea Trench is extremely deep and releases a strange magnetic field that causes any soul tool to malfunction. Countless sea soul beasts live there, and it is regarded by soul masters as one of the dead zones of the ocean. All ships will avoid it.

Danger often comes with opportunity. The Blood Sea Trench is rich in rare and precious treasures, and the Red Jade Shrimp is a specialty of the trench, highly beneficial to Soul Masters. Legend has it that the finest Blood Jade Shrimp, the Red Jade Shrimp, is made by consuming Blood Sea Coral from the bottom of the Blood Sea Trench!

There's only one way for a Soul Master to obtain the treasures of the Blood Sea Ditch: diving and salvaging them by hand. But even a four-word Battle Armor Master wouldn't dare guarantee success in the Blood Sea Ditch. Mu Ye couldn't believe that Zhao Xuanzhen could actually produce Blood Sea Coral, which lives at the very bottom of the Blood Sea Ditch!

"This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it, Senior." Zhao Xuanzhen smiled and pushed the Blood Sea Coral towards Mu Ye.

"This...this...this is too precious..."

Makino was suddenly speechless. Giving his all had become a habit, and receiving such a sudden reward from a junior left him at a loss for words. The True Body Douluo cultivated the Dao of Qi and Blood; the abundant Qi and Blood energy of the Blood Sea Coral was enough to help him break through the level 95 barrier that had bound him for so many years, allowing him to achieve his long-cherished dream of becoming a Super Douluo!

“Xuanzhen is truly sincere; you should accept this.”

Zhenhua reached out and patted Muye on the shoulder, feeling delighted that his old friend had made the acquaintance of a grateful younger generation.

"well!"

Mu Ye accepted the Blood Sea Coral, gave Zhao Xuanzhen a deep look, and everything was understood without words. Sincerity begets sincerity, and no matter when or where, the Body Sect will always be Zhao Xuanzhen's strong support!

Zhao Xuanzhen chuckled. The Blood Sea Coral was a gift from Lan Fuzi. Two Blood Sea Corals were born in Blood Sea Valley. Lan Fuzi didn't leave a single hair for the Demon Orca King. Zhao Xuanzhen absorbed one to enhance his blood and qi during his whale-riding journey, and then gave the second one to Mu Ye, who had been giving so much.

"Master Craftsman."

Zhao Xuanzhen took out another item, a rare metal, which was a dull, dark gray, like the color of deep-sea silt that had settled for thousands of years, or an old lead block forgotten in the abyss of the sea.

"And mine?"

"The Blacksmith Association is a close friend of the Spirit Pagoda. Only with the master craftsman can it reach its full potential."

Zhenhua paused for a moment, then subconsciously took the gray metal that Zhao Xuanzhen handed him. It was icy cold to the touch, dense and heavy, with a rough, frosted texture on the surface.

"Deep-sea sunken silver mother-of-pearl!"

As a master craftsman who deals with rare metals every day, Zhenhua revealed the name of this rare metal.

"A rare, exceptional piece of metal!" Zhenhua exclaimed repeatedly, unable to put it down.

"Look at the metallic patterns formed by the passage of time, the deep, dull gray, and the freshly made teeth marks on it—it's so perfectly natural, clearly the masterpiece of a 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuanzhen was suddenly speechless. Lan Fuzi's incredible teeth were something even the Golden Tortoiseshell of Season 2 would have to admit defeat for!

Sending a fruit basket is the best way to build a closer relationship, and the type of fruit basket you choose should be tailored to the recipient's preferences.

Since Mu Ye is trapped by the shackles of level 95 soul power, then send him the Blood Sea Coral with abundant blood and qi. As for Zhen Hua, he is a master craftsman, and the Deep Sea Silver Mother is the perfect choice. Being able to try forging with the best materials is such a wonderful thing for a master craftsman!

"what do I have?"

With a flick of his elbow, Jiutian poked Zhao Xuanzhen's waist, his tone laced with anticipation.

"You have a mission."

Zhao Xuanzhen said earnestly, "My three-word battle armor needs to be forged, and I've decided on you, Nine Heavens Sacred Craftsman!"

Nine days passed with darkness in his eyes. On his first day of work, the capitalists had no shame at all!

During his previous conversation with Zhenhua, Zhao Xuanzhen learned that Jiutian was already a seventh-level Saint Craftsman, and promptly dragged the black-skinned blacksmith to the forging room.

The two-word battle armor Tai Chi left his body, and Zhao Xuanzhen took out the golden water mixed with water obtained from the Didi substitute, the life crystal and the destruction crystal produced by Devil Island, and looked at the nine heavens with a "I believe in you" gaze.

It's back, the familiar feeling is back!

Jiutian sighed inwardly, then summoned the Qianjin Hammer with a flick of his wrists. Inside the iron-gray forging room, only the forging table was shrouded in the light of the soul guide lamp. Upgrading the Taiji Battle Armor was a massive undertaking, and Jiutian chose to forge the right arm armor first.

With the twin hammers hovering above his right-hand battle armor, Jiutian flicked his wrist, and the Qianjin hammers, like dragonflies skimming the water, produced a dense tinkling sound, like a light and cheerful melody.

Beside them, Zhao Xuanzhen, Mu Ye, and Zhen Hua held their breath, witnessing Jiu Tian's effortless forging. Under the rain of blows from the Qianjin hammer, a layer of yin-yang patterns appeared on the surface of the spirit-forged metal, flowing with a profound light.

"Boom, boom——"

The hammers split into two, each with immense force. One Qianjin hammer smashed down on the Taiji Battle Armor, while the other hammer shifted its target, forging three rare metals fused into the battle armor!

The metal exploded with a deafening roar as it was struck by the hammer, causing the walls of the forging room to vibrate. A three-colored beam of light shot straight up to the dome, marking the ultimate sublimation of the spirit-forged metal!

The spirit forging was completed with ease. The intense light in Jiutian's eyes surged. Each time the Qianjin Hammer fell, it was as heavy as if the sky were collapsing and the earth was sinking. The golden light permeated the metal, leaving a deep imprint of life.

Spiritual forging awakens spirituality, and soul forging imbues life. The Tai Chi Battle Armor emits a deep hum, a whimper of pain mixed with joy, as the metallic life continuously transforms under the impact of forging!

Soul forging is the process of forging metal from the inside out. It involves injecting the blacksmith's soul power and spiritual power into the metal, and through the connection with the metal, combining the inside and outside, it fully stimulates the life of the metal itself.

It wasn't a simple smashing; the Qianjin Hammer, imbued with surging blood and boundless spiritual power, delivered a double strike, producing a crisp echo that pierced through all the hammer sounds and resonated clearly in everyone's ears.

Echoes of Soul Forging!

After enduring a sufficiently powerful spiritual imprint and soul force, the metal emitted a tremor at the soul level, and the nascent life form responded to its creator!

Soul forging consists of two processes: Soul Forging Echo and Soul Forging Solidification. Only by completing both processes within a short period of time can sublimation be achieved, transforming the metal into a completely new Soul Forging life form.

The hammers accelerated their speed, the two hammers like two afterimages, crashing down with all their energy and spirit, guiding and solidifying the boiling metal.

Ripples spread outwards, the surface of the Tai Chi battle armor fluctuated violently, and sweat rolled down from Jiutian's brows like a stream, hitting the scorching forging table. The pentagonal youth seemed unaware, all his mind and spirit merging with the metal under the hammer. The metal gradually stabilized, containing indescribable soul fluctuations.

"It's done!"

Zhenhua clenched his fist, feeling extremely honored for the disciples who had been forged with the seven metal souls!

"Xuanzhen, it won't be long before you become a three-word battle armor master. Have you thought of a name for your three-word battle armor?" Mu Ye asked curiously.

"Hmm." Zhao Xuanzhen nodded slightly. "I plan to add a word after Tai Chi."

Three-word battle armor, Tai Chi Dao!

Chapter 153 Artifact Fusion, Super Artifact Radiant Dragon Spear, Goodbye Leng Yaozhu, Disrespect for Teachers (4K)

When Zhao Xuanzhen broke through to the seventh ring of Soul Saint, he had already decided on the name of his three-word battle armor. Taiji Dao represents the Dao he has comprehended, and at the same time, it implies the true Dao that he is striving to pursue in his heart.

"How come you are a descendant of the Phoenix family?" Mu Ye asked with a complicated expression, omitting the second half of his question.

If Zhao Xuanzhen's background were even slightly weaker, the sect leader would have snatched him back to the main body sect at all costs.

Zhao Xuanzhen smiled without saying anything. In fact, he acknowledged Mu Ye but did not become his disciple for only one reason: he did not want anyone to be ranked alongside Leng Yaozhu.

“Xuanzhen, I’m afraid I won’t be able to forge your future four-word battle armor. Only Jiutian can attempt it.”

Zhenhua felt the profound aura emanating from the Tai Chi Dao right hand gauntlet and let out a long sigh.

The ultimate forging technique of the master craftsman Zhenhua is the Heavenly Forging, which combines seven metals. However, Zhao Xuanzhen's four-word battle armor is the first of its kind ever created, featuring a Heavenly Forging of nine metals.

Not to mention that Zhenhua's blood and energy were beginning to decline, and the success rate of Seven Metals Heaven Forging was much lower than before, even if it were Zhenhua at his peak more than ten years ago, it would have been impossible for him to forge the four-word battle armor that belonged to Zhao Xuanzhen.

"Please trust in the Divine Craftsman, Jiutian will surely lead the Blacksmith Association to new heights."

"That's absolutely right. We're getting old, and the younger generation is constantly surpassing us!"

Zhao Xuanzhen and Mu Ye spoke one after the other. Zhenhua and Mu Ye smiled at each other. The younger generation were all top geniuses and could even inherit their good brotherhood. The Body Sect and the Forging Master Association had a bright future. How could this not make people happy?

Late at night, at the Blacksmiths Association of Tiandou City.

Mu Ye happily absorbed the Blood Sea Coral and began his journey to break through to level 95 Super Douluo. Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua happily entered the Divine Craftsman Forging Room to study the Deep Sea Sunken Silver Mother. The two middle-aged bachelors were like two children who had received their favorite toys, smiling from ear to ear all day long.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Inside a forging room, the roar of forging hammers striking metal seemed endless. Jiutian, shirtless and sweating profusely, swung his pair of Qianjin hammers like phantoms.

Upgrading the entire battle armor is no simple task, and Tai Chi is the pinnacle of two-word battle armor, making the upgrade path even more difficult. Jiu Tian was forced to work overtime without pay!

"Squeak-"

The door to the forging room was pushed open. Jiutian sensed who had come, but he did not turn around and continued to focus on forging the Soul Forged Metal.

The outsider remained silent, waiting for Jiutian to upgrade the entire right arm armor into soul-forged metal before chuckling and saying, "Not bad. With your forging speed, you can complete the forging of the three-word battle armor Taiji Dao within a month."

Slowly turning around, Jiutian unsurprisingly saw Zhao Xuanzhen's handsome face, that of a wicked capitalist. Thinking this guy was there to assign tasks, he said irritably:

"Why are you looking for me so late at night? I haven't finished the Three-Word Battle Armor, and the other forged metals are waiting in line."

"No, this time it has nothing to do with metal; I need the rules of the Qian metal image."

Zhao Xuanzhen's expression was solemn. The Teng Snake snaked out, and the power of deception enveloped the entire forging room, isolating all abnormal movements. The room instantly fell into boundless silence, and a mysterious array diagram appeared in the center of the ground.

The Eight Trigrams and the Eight Gates Formation of the Human Plate.

The eight gates—Open Gate, Rest Gate, Life Gate, Injury Gate, Block Gate, View Gate, Death Gate, and Shock Gate—brighten and dim like morning stars. In the center of the formation, a golden dragon roars and howls.

Thirteen dazzling golden halos, like chains forged by the gods, tightly bound the golden dragon. The enormous, mountain-like phantom writhed violently, its head held high, its blood-red eyes filled with savage cruelty. Each impact with the halos sent out blinding sparks, and the runes on the halos flickered, suppressing the dragon's destructive and tyrannical power.

"The power of the Eight Gods reaches the Nine Heavens, return to your positions."

"Yagami, return to your position."

As the Qimen Divine Plate turned, Jiutian breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't about doing any work. Together with Tengshe, he transformed into two streams of light that rushed into Zhao Xuanzhen's body, becoming the energy source for the Master of Qimen.

Of the four plates—Heaven, Earth, Man, and God—Zhao Xuanzhen used the Man Plate's Eight Gates Formation the least, because it contained the Golden Dragon King's divine core.

Standing at the auspicious gate, Zhao Xuanzhen remained calm as he gazed at the indomitable Golden Dragon King. He slowly raised his right hand, his fingertips pointing towards the first golden halo binding the Golden Dragon King, which was also the sixth layer of seal set up by Tang San.

"Chong-"

With a crisp crack, the sixth layer of the seal shattered, turning into countless golden shards of light that drifted across the sky.

The Golden Dragon King let out a furious roar, and the Eight Gates Formation shone brightly, suppressing the restlessness and rage of the dragon god's half-body. At the center of the light, a double-edged spear made of pure gold rose up, its tip gleaming with a fierce and destructive aura.

The Golden Dragon Spear has appeared!

He reached out with his right hand and grasped the Golden Dragon Spear, the accompanying divine artifact of the Golden Dragon King, while a wisp of purple-gold light surged in his left palm, revealing the Radiant Dragon Spear, the accompanying divine artifact of the Radiant Dragon King.

Breaking the sixth seal was not difficult at all. With the goal achieved, the Golden Dragon King's break time ended. Zhao Xuanzhen gathered the Eight Gates Formation. In the final moments, the Golden Dragon King was still frantically attacking the Eight Trigrams Formation, showing no signs of calm communication.

"The Golden Dragon King's Divine Core is actually under your control..."

A deep voice resounded in his ears. The Dragon King's soul burst out of the purple-gold soul ring and stared intently at Zhao Xuanzhen: "Whoever can devour that divine core will be the next Golden Dragon King, becoming the half-body of the Dragon God who controls destruction and violence, possessing an invincible physical body that can traverse the God Realm."

"The Dragon God's fate was to be split in two by the Asura Demon Sword, so he can't be considered invincible in terms of physical strength, let alone the Golden Dragon King who only inherited half of the Dragon God's abilities," Zhao Xuanzhen said calmly.

"The Radiant Dragon King, the Dragon God is indeed powerful, but as a loser, it cannot be our destination. It should be an object we need to surpass."

I showed you the Golden Dragon King to tell you something: the Golden Dragon King will be one of the pillars under my divine position, and the Golden Dragon Spear is also the material for repairing the Radiant Dragon Spear.

“That makes sense.” After a moment of thought, the Radiant Dragon King nodded emphatically. “Although the God Realm no longer exists, it will return sooner or later. Who knows, the God King of the God Realm might have some extraordinary encounters that would cause a dramatic change in his strength. We must be stronger than the Dragon God.”

Golden Dragon Spear… You have indeed found the most suitable divine artifact in the world to repair the Radiant Dragon Spear. Countless years ago, the Dragon God used my Destruction Godhood as the foundation to condense the Annihilation Godhood. After it split in two, the Annihilation Godhood was inherited by the Golden Dragon King.

In other words, the Golden Dragon King is the divine beast in the world whose aura is most similar to mine, and the Radiant Dragon Spear and the Golden Dragon Spear are born from the same origin!

"Then let's cut to the chase and begin," Zhao Xuanzhen said in a deep voice.

Both divine spears were the ultimate embodiment of destruction and devouring. Even without moving their blades, their destructive force fields clashed violently, producing a deafening explosion. Beneath Zhao Xuanzhen's feet, the Qimen Dunjia array shone brightly, the divine disc, with the Nine Heavens as its primary element and the Tengshe as its secondary element, initiating the fusion of the two divine artifacts!

No one really thinks that Jiutian would just foolishly forge iron!

To fuse two divine artifacts, one of which is the damaged Huanglong King's super divine artifact, the Qianjin Authority of the Nine Heavens must be used!

"Roar--"

"hold head high--"

The artifact possessed a spirit; two distinct dragon roars seemed to tear through time and space, and a magnificent dragon head rose atop the golden dragon spear, its eyes burning with the ferocity originating from the dragon god.

Not to be outdone, the Radiant Dragon Spear instantly activated the purple-gold dragon patterns coiled around its body, and a giant purple-gold dragon soared into the sky, its scales gleaming with a cold, hard luster that seemed to destroy everything, its expression filled with a desire to devour the Golden Dragon King!

One golden and one purple-gold, the dragons' wills clashed, dragon breath spewed out, and torrents of power collided fiercely with pillars of destructive light. Unfortunately, this was destined not to be a fair war. The Golden Dragon King was locked in the Human Plate Eight Gates Formation and powerless, the Golden Dragon Spear was isolated and helpless, while the Radiant Dragon Spear had the help of two generations of masters!

The purple-gold light blazed like the sun, and the Radiant Dragon King suddenly opened its huge mouth, like an abyss that devoured the starry sky. A powerful suction force erupted, firmly pulling the struggling dragon head of the Golden Dragon Spear!

"Om-"

A tall and imposing giant phantom appeared behind Zhao Xuanzhen. Jiutian held two hammers. Under Zhao Xuanzhen's central command, the power of the Tengshe was transferred to Jiutian, who temporarily descended in his peak form, sweeping away the black-skinned blacksmith's dejection. His whole body was shining with golden light, showing the majestic and powerful image of Qianjin and the awe-inspiring power of the gods!

The two hammers came together, one on the left and one on the right. Jiutian used the power of Qianjin to strike the two divine weapons, producing a dual effect. The golden light of the Golden Dragon Spear was like a piece of cloth that had been forcibly torn apart, and large chunks of it were torn off, turning into surging golden energy that continuously flowed into the Radiant Dragon Spear.

The Radiant Dragon Spear greedily absorbed the essence of the Golden Dragon Spear's disintegration. The shocking crack spread out purple-gold patterns, initiating a fusion and reconstruction. The spear trembled, humming a deep and joyful sound. At the end of destruction lies rebirth!

A mournful cry came from the Golden Dragon Spear, the dragon shadow completely collapsed, and the last bit of energy was swallowed up by the Radiant Dragon Spear!

A burst of light erupted, and the brand-new Radiant Dragon Spear hovered in front of Zhao Xuanzhen.

Having successfully fused with the Golden Dragon Spear, the Radiant Dragon Spear now boasts a more elongated form, its body displaying an intensely deep purplish-gold hue. Intricate and continuous dragon-shaped patterns flow across its surface, embodying the Radiant Dragon Spear's destructive power. Its tip is incomparably sharp, its edge seemingly capable of piercing the world's barrier, causing space itself to distort and collapse.

This is the Radiant Dragon Spear, a super artifact that devoured the Golden Dragon Spear to make up for its own deficiencies and gathered the destructive origins of the Dragon God and the Radiant Dragon King!

The moment Zhao Xuanzhen grasped the purple-gold spear shaft, an aura as deep and unfathomable as a prison condensed at the spear tip. Wherever the Radiant Dragon Spear pointed, a black hole suddenly appeared in the forging chamber, visibly expanding as the space itself was being destroyed by the newly formed Radiant Dragon Spear!

"My divine artifact has finally been restored!"

The Radiant Dragon King circled around the Radiant Dragon Spear, his face filled with tears, but the Radiant Dragon Spear seemed unwilling to respond to its former master. This destructive super artifact was extremely realistic, ruthless and terrifyingly cold.

With a flash of light, Zhao Xuanzhen released the power of the Eight Gods from his body and broke through to the seventh ring of Soul Saint. As the Master of Qimen, he was able to withstand a peak Eight God of Deception. Jiutian was not at the peak, so it would not cause much additional burden. This time, he was spared from falling into weakness.
