Chapter 413: Chapter 216: Jiaolong Sunset Bow, Qingzhou City Falls, Long Jianying in Peril (2)

However, since he left, Su City has been very peaceful, with no demons or ghosts daring to act recklessly in Su City.

At night, he and Ji Qingyue didn’t leave, planning to first refine the Black Lake Jiao Venerable into a Divine Bow.

[Golden Body·Fourth Forging (100%)]

...

[Ordinary Power: 92,000 years]

[Golden Body Power: 510 years]

In the room, Wei Fan opened the panel.

Having broken through the Fourth Forging of the Golden Body for several days, it’s time to break through to the Fifth Forging.

Soon, after two hundred years of Golden Body Power, his cultivation reached the Fifth Forging of the Golden Body, and immediately he took out the corpse of the Black Lake Jiao Venerable. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The refining of a Divine Bow is different from ordinary divine soldiers. For common divine soldiers, materials with divinity are sufficient, but for refining a Divine Bow, not only must the materials possess divinity, but their elasticity must also be considered.

The refining methods are also different, as is recorded in the Divine Weapon Technique, which describes a method for refining a Divine Bow. With this method, the Divine Bow can unleash earth-shattering power without needing arrows.

This Divine Bow will also self-charge, autonomously absorbing the Power of Heaven and Earth.

"This place doesn’t seem quite suitable!"

Wei Fan glanced around the room, noting that the upcoming refinement would involve True Sun Fire, which this ordinary room simply couldn’t withstand due to its terrifyingly high temperature.

Opening the door, he flew directly to a mountain peak outside Tongzhou City and sat down to start extracting dragon sinew.

"That kind of restrictive force seems to have disappeared!"

While extracting the dragon sinew, Wei Fan found that the Black Lake Jiao Venerable’s corpse had changed. The special power that restricted their race’s talent while the Black Lake Jiao Venerable was alive had disappeared.

The Black Lake Jiao Venerable’s corpse became stronger than when alive, with strands of dragon might spreading out, and it seemed like there was special spirituality in the world weaving and entwining with the Black Lake Jiao Venerable’s corpse.

This discovery delighted Wei Fan, as the stronger the divinity of the corpse, the more powerful the refined product would be.

After extracting the dragon sinew, he took out the Demon Venerable Golden Bone he had previously obtained and smelt it with the Black Lake Jiao Venerable’s body, infusing all kinds of essences into the corpse.

Half an hour later, the Black Lake Jiao Venerable’s body, over a zhang long, transformed into a vividly lifelike Great Bow in Wei Fan’s hands, with the entire bow in the shape of a flood dragon.

However, this was just the beginning. He had only refined the bow’s form. The subsequent quenching was the real key.

He had acquired many divine soldiers but never had a bow-type divine soldier. The reason was that the refining process for this type of divine weapon was as time-consuming and laborious as for heavy divine soldiers.

Putting away the True Sun Fire, Wei Fan opened the panel and began quenching the Jiaolong Sunset Bow according to the Divine Weapon Technique.

[One year of power: You killed the Jiao Venerable at Black Lake and refined a Divine Bow from its body, naming it the Jiaolong Sunset Bow, beginning its quenching process]

[Five years of power: The Jiaolong Sunset Bow became an elementary divine soldier...]

...

With special materials and as a Martial Venerable Powerhouse with a silver primordial spirit, the Jiaolong Sunset Bow soon became an elementary divine soldier. The bow’s body began to emit ripples, attracting the ceaseless flow of the Power of Heaven and Earth from all around.

Wei Fan did not stop there; an elementary divine soldier was only the beginning. His will and true essence continued to follow the method recorded in the Divine Weapon Technique to quench the Jiaolong Sunset Bow.

Time passed, and he didn’t know how long it took until the Jiaolong Sunset Bow in his hands emitted the top-level Martial Venerate Divine Soldiers’ fluctuations before he stopped adding power.

[Jiaolong Sunset Bow·Top Level Martial Venerate Divine Soldier]

[Ordinary Power: 74,000 years]

[Golden Body Power: 310 years]

It cost over ten thousand years of power!

Gently pulling the bowstring, Wei Fan caused a gale to surge, and the bow emitted dazzling radiance.

In an instant, Essence Qi from all directions rushed in, forming a bright arrow emitting an extremely sharp aura.

He aimed at a distant mountain and released his fingers.

Boom!

In the next moment, a thick white light streaked across the void, impacting the distant mountaintop in seconds. With a great deal of dust and smoke, the mountaintop vanished from sight, turned to dust and scattered.

"This power can easily kill ordinary Martial Venerable Powerhouses!"

Wei Fan was slightly moved. He had only lightly pulled the bowstring without imbibing even a hint of his own power, and the shooting strength was entirely drawn from the Jiaolong Sunset Bow absorbing from the air.

If he infused his own strength, the power would be even more terrifying.

"However, the Jiaolong Sunset Bow is not something that ordinary people can pull!"

The power of the Jiaolong Sunset Bow was terrifying, yet unlike typical Top Level Martial Venerate Divine Soldiers, where even in the hands of a First Forging Martial Venerable, or a Divine Realm Martial Sect, some Top Level Martial Venerate Divine Soldiers’ power can be unleashed.

But if the power to pull the Jiaolong Sunset Bow is insufficient, it cannot be drawn, rendering it useless in one’s hands.

He estimated that a Three-Colored Golden Body-level Martial Venerable must at least reach the Sixth Forging of the Golden Body to draw the Jiaolong Sunset Bow and unleash some of its power.

"Given the chance, I’ll find a Demon Venerable to test the Jiaolong Sunset Bow’s power..."

Pondering, Wei Fan didn’t continue experimenting and put away the Jiaolong Sunset Bow to fly back to Tongzhou City.

With his strength, if all true essence was infused into a single arrow, it would be enough to obliterate a mountain range.

If he caused excessive damage to the surrounding mountains, it would affect Tongzhou City’s protective array.

The next day, Situ Feng and his companions found Wei Fan, took their leave, and advised him to visit Su City when he had time.

Wei Fan and Ji Qingyue were not in a hurry to leave, having just quelled the Black Lake Demon Race and slain disciples of the Profound Crane Sect, requiring a few days to stabilize in Tongzhou City.

At midday, Pei Shinan, with a grim expression, found Wei Fan: "Qingzhou City has been broken through, General Guan Xiong’s Golden Body was shattered, four Divine Realm Martial Sect commanders died, countless troops were killed or wounded, and millions of civilians fled, with the city turned to scorched earth, casualties innumerable!"

Qingzhou!

One of the thirty-eight states of the Great Victory Dynasty, positioned similarly to Tongzhou, also bordering the demons, where the Demon Suppression Bureau has long waged war against them.

The difference is, while Tongzhou holds a relatively balanced state of affairs in its battles with demons, with victories and losses on both sides, Qingzhou is fundamentally in a losing state, with its population suffering from demons for years, drastically decreasing, and those with means fleeing to other states.

"Is this retaliation for the Black Lake incident?"

Wei Fan’s expression darkened. If it weren’t related to the Tongzhou affair, but merely a normal defeat in battle, Pei Shinan wouldn’t have specially come to tell him this.

"Yes!"

Pei Shinan nodded: "After breaking through the city, they indeed declared that this was the price for pacifying the Black Lake— the Great Victory Dynasty eliminates a Demon Venerable, and the Demon Venerable wipes out a general of the Human Race, destroys one state.

They even threatened the Great Victory Dynasty to hand over you and me, or the demons would unleash carnage within Qingzhou!"

Demons are not without organization; as seen with the Demon Heaven Alliance, there is an entity similar to the Demon Hunter Organization leading all demons and confronting the Human Race.

"Has the court ordered you?"

Wei Fan’s murderous intent visibly grew. Retaliation could be direct, but using innocent civilians’ lives to threaten him stirred his killing intent.

Nevertheless, he didn’t regret eliminating the Black Lake Demon Race; the Demon Hunter Organization grants them such freedom precisely to ensure they fight without reservation against demons.

To act timorously would only play into the demons’ hands.

Pei Shinan shook his head: "I’m still a General of One Province; yielding me would dishearten not just the Demon Hunter Organization but others as well.

The main issue now is that Tongzhou has no general, countless civilians fleeing. I’ve heard that the Demon Suppression Bureau Headquarters plans to promote Long Jianying to General and dispatch him to Qingzhou to stabilize the situation. The order could be on its way right now."

This was his true purpose in seeking Wei Fan.

Long Jianying is merely the lowest level Martial Venerable, not even having reached Perfection in First Forging of the Golden Body. Sending him to Qingzhou is practically sending him to his death.

This might be another form of compromise, as everyone knows that Long Jianying and Wei Fan share a good relationship, with Long Jianying also being his subordinate.

By dispatching Long Jianying, it might quell the demons’ wrath.
