Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor
Chapter 2004 - 2003: Refining the Netherworld Artifact
Soul Search!
Among cultivators, there are numerous tortures, and one of the most famous is Soul Search!
The pain of Soul Search is indescribable. For more than ninety-nine percent of cultivators, even if they survive the process, they would still choose a swift death!
This Fu Ming is clearly one of them.
Even though he watched his brother killed before his eyes, his heart filled with boundless fury, when he heard the words ’Soul Search,’ Fu Ming’s expression changed drastically, unable to hide his fear!
He had searched others’ souls before, but he had never been searched himself, and he never wanted to be!
"I’ll give you three seconds to consider."
Su Han spoke calmly: "Three."
"Two."
"One."
At the very moment the last word fell, Su Han’s expression turned cold, and his hand landed directly on top of Fu Ming’s head.
"Immortal Master Tianbao is on Treasure Basin Star in the Middle-Class Planet Region, you could find him yourself, why do you have to ask me!!!" Fu Ming suddenly shouted hoarsely.
"Too late!"
Su Han snorted coldly, a mighty force of cultivation, mixed with divine sense, surged directly into Fu Ming’s primordial spirit.
Cultivators who have a primordial spirit, that is, the soul!
"Ah!!!"
In the instant of Su Han’s Soul Search, Fu Ming screamed in agony, his face completely twisted, and his entire primordial spirit seemed a bit scattered at this moment.
A moment later, Su Han abruptly exerted force with his hand, and with a bang, Fu Ming’s primordial spirit exploded!
"Just as I thought, Immortal Master Tianbao is indeed on Treasure Basin Star, actually a mighty being at the First Grade Unity Realm!"
"However..."
"This soul search was not in vain. Besides Tianbao’s location, there were some other special gains!"
Su Han murmured, his lips curling into a smile.
From Fu Ming’s soul, Su Han learned that after some time, Fu Ming and several other Seventh Grade Divine Sea Realm loose cultivators planned to venture into some secret realm to find a supreme treasure!
This supreme treasure was not discovered by Fu Ming, but by another cultivator.
As for which secret realm it was, the person did not disclose, and Fu Ming did not know.
The one who discovered the supreme treasure tried to enter alone, but ultimately he was severely injured and fled from the secret realm.
Hence, he united with Fu Ming and several other friends to venture in together.
Though they were called friends, from Fu Ming’s soul, Su Han felt that their relationship was not genuine, more like tied by interest.
"For an item that even Seventh Grade Divine Sea Realm could call a ’supreme treasure,’ and it being in some special secret realm..."
Su Han’s eyes gleamed, muttering to himself, "This item should indeed be remarkable, if time permits, there’s no harm in taking a look."
Thinking this, Su Han waved his hand and took Fu Ming’s storage ring.
From it, he retrieved a seemingly ordinary sound transmission crystal, contemplated for a moment, and placed it in his own storage ring.
This sound transmission crystal was what those several Seventh Grade Divine Sea Realms used to communicate with each other.
Besides this, Su Han also found nearly a trillion spirit crystals, as well as a large number of medicinal ingredients and artifact refining materials.
Among them was a pair of boots of Low-Grade Nether Artifact level and a pair of gloves of High-Grade Imperial Artifact level!
"Fu Ming’s weapons are somewhat special; not many cultivators use gloves..."
Su Han’s gaze swept over the gloves and tossed them directly into the storage ring.
As for those boots, their entire body was a light purple, representing the unique glow of a Low-Grade Nether Artifact.
Su Han pondered for a moment and directly put on the boots.
"Buzz~"
The moment they were put on, the boots immediately struggled as if trying to remove themselves from Su Han’s feet.
Su Han had anticipated this.
Low-Grade Nether Artifacts usually can only be used by mighty beings of the Fusion Realm.
For Divine Sea Realm, if some secret techniques are available, a fraction of their power can be activated. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
But below Divine Sea Realm, even for Seventh Grade Void Heaven Realm, wearing a Low-Grade Nether Artifact is extremely difficult.
Nether Artifacts already possess spirits, and to them, Void Heaven Realm simply doesn’t qualify to wear them!
Forced wearing not only fails to yield any effect but also carries a significant risk of backlash from the Nether Artifact!
"I, once a top-level Artifact Refiner of the Holy Domain, if can’t subdue even a Low-Grade Nether Artifact, what face do I have to call myself the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor?"
Looking at the constantly struggling boots, Su Han sneered, waving his hand, suddenly revealing a large amount of artifact refining materials.
Without any furnace appearing, just in the void, Su Han spent a whole two hours using the fire attribute law to forcibly refine these materials!
In terms of grade, these materials could only refine Mysterious Devices at best, at most the Low-Grade Ghost Artifacts.
But at this moment, Su Han refined these materials into two pools of black fluid.
Once completely formed, Su Han slapped his hand, and one pool of fluid swiftly merged into the boots!
Subsequently, Su Han pointed at the boots, shouting: "Spirit Refining Technique!"
"Whoosh!"
A large amount of cultivation power poured into the boots from Su Han’s fingers.
The boots began to struggle violently, but soon fell into tranquility.
Su Han waved his hand and put them on.
This time, the boots seemed tamed, not only ceasing to struggle but also slowly shrinking, fitting snugly to Su Han’s feet.
In the distance, Chen Fan was completely dumbfounded!
He knew these boots were Low-Grade Nether Artifacts, and he knew the level of a person who could wear Low-Grade Nether Artifacts!
Here, with a cultivation of Peak Fifth Grade Void Heaven Realm, Su Han forcibly refined them and wore them!
"Su Han, are you actually... an Artifact Refiner?"
Chen Fan couldn’t help but ask, "Have these boots truly been refined by you, or just subdued, only wearable without exhibiting any power?"
Su Han replied, "If they don’t exhibit power, what’s the point of wearing them?"
"Then... how much power can they exhibit?" Chen Fan asked again.
Su Han smiled faintly: "Tenfold."
"Tenfold?!"
Chen Fan’s eyes widened, "I’ve heard some super heavenly talents, like those from the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects, can use secret techniques to unleash Nether Artifact’s power, but at most only one or two folds!"
"They are them, and I am me."
Su Han shook his head, not saying more to Chen Fan, and with a wave of his hand, another piece of Low-Grade Nether Artifact level armor appeared from Su Han’s hand.
The other pool of material-made fluid was similarly used by Su Han with the Spirit Refining Technique and infused into the armor.
Then, under Chen Fan’s stupefied gaze, the armor was worn on Su Han, transforming into that white robe.
