Chapter 514: Chapter 170: Divine Spirits Hidden in the Graveyard of Yin and Yang, Teasing the Wolf Mother, Forging the King’s Axe, Gazing Upon the World’s End

However, there were some matters involving the Divine Spirit that might bring about deadly peril that he didn’t mention.

The pure-hearted girl was quite simple.

Whatever Li Yuan said, she believed.

At this moment, she was happy once more.

After a sleep, Li Yuan rode the giant wolf, taking Zhenyan Xue to the Eternal Night Line.

To the west, eternal night.

To the east, rare sunny skies.

Light and darkness formed a distinct boundary at this line. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The vast wilderness, the Barbarian King leaned against the furry side of the Ice and Snow Giant Wolf with his wife, gazing at this wondrous scene while talking about bits and pieces of daily life.

He was waiting for the sun to set.

However, the weather didn’t cooperate, and by evening, the sky turned cloudy...

Snow also fell on the eastern side of the Eternal Night Line.

Li Yuan took his wife away.

The next day, they returned again.

This continued for more than ten days, and with the ice and snow season of the Cloud Mountain Path already past, he finally witnessed the sunset.

It was proven that the Eternal Night Line wasn’t perpetually covered in snow.

Li Yuan and Zhenyan Xue nestled together, watching the sun, like a blazing furnace, slowly descend in the west; seeing it vanish instantly upon reaching the Eternal Night Line.

And at that moment of disappearance, Li Yuan felt a fiery heat in his heart...

He hurriedly got up and spat out a mouthful of fire forward.

The fire... was cone-shaped, sweeping over nearly a hundred zhang of land in front, melting all the ice and snow, even making the usually damp ground instantly arid...

Cracked soil turned into ground fissures, emitting blue smoke, resembling farmland suffering from a decade of drought.

Zhenyan Xue was stunned for a moment, clapped her hands, and shouted, "Barbarian King husband, that’s amazing!"

Li Yuan laughed helplessly.

His thoughts and those of the pure-hearted girl were not on the same wavelength.

’The fire has become stronger, strong enough to have reached my current limit.

Normally, my fire wouldn’t be so formidable, nor would it reach a range of nearly a hundred zhang.’

’This means that just now, the Yang Qi around here reached a terrifying concentration...’

’In other words...’

Li Yuan looked up, gazing at the sky that suddenly darkened, then at the Eternal Night Line, muttering, "This isn’t tidal locking or some illusion array I don’t understand, but rather the place where the sun truly sets."

"Here... is the World’s End."

"Then, what is the eternal night behind me?"

This is an answer only he could ascertain, for at least for now, Li Yuan knew of no one else who possessed "fire."

Without "fire," one couldn’t perceive the sudden rise in Yang Qi concentration at that sunset moment, nor understand... this was the World’s End.

The gigantic divine spirit tomb of the Black and White Fish, the graveyard of diverse lying deaths, the mysterious Wolf Mother, the fires of the Nine Clans of equal stature, the World’s End, the frozen soil of eternal night, the inexplicable Divine Spirit...

All these elements, forming a dense foggy world, made it so Li Yuan couldn’t see clearly nor comprehend fully.

He conquered the Nine Flames Tribe, even the Wolf Mother was willing to be his woman for generations.

Yet... all this did not mark the end of the journey to the Western Pole, but rather a big question mark.

"Barbarian King husband, Barbarian King husband, what’s wrong?" The pure-hearted girl saw Li Yuan in a daze and hurriedly nudged him.

Li Yuan snapped back to reality, saying, "It’s nothing, let’s go back."

"Okay!"

The pure-hearted girl happily hugged her husband’s waist, leaning against him from behind, softly saying, "I want to give the Barbarian King husband a child."

The giant wolf stepped forward, into the wind and snow of eternal night.

This time returning, Li Yuan and Zhenyan Xue were together passionately for a long while.

Then, he went out alone to start preparing the matter of the "Barbarian King’s Token."

...

Li Yuan would naturally personally forge the "Barbarian King’s Token."

He was originally a top-notch Weapon Forger in the world.

When he forged the Cyan Snake Blade previously, he discovered a characteristic, which was... pure Yin Qi seemed to replace Source Blood and form special weapons.

The Cyan Snake Blade didn’t contain the power of his Source Blood but was all Lady Yan’s power, in other words... that blade could be used by another. But due to the Source Blood, if he summoned it, the snake could also "connect through bloodline" and return to his hand.

Since pure Yin Qi could forge the Cyan Snake Blade, could he use pure Yang Qi to forge a Barbarian King’s Axe?

The Ice Barbarians were born of fire; they would feel a sense of belonging to the Barbarian King’s Axe forged with fire.

Only in this way would "an axe" become a true token.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful the axe was, it could not be long accepted by the Ice Barbarians.

No sooner said than done, Li Yuan flew back to the Tang Sect and brought out his forging furnace.

After all this time, Tang Nian had finally purchased another batch of less than 200 jin of Blood Crystal Marrow for him.

He first tried his hand by forging some small Seventh Grade items, throwing them to Tang Nian, and then took out the Blood Crystal Marrow to begin forging.

With practiced ease to the Fetal Movement...

When the metal melted, Li Yuan gently exhaled.

From his mouth, the fire continuously poured onto the axe billet.

Under the temperature of this fire, the Ghost Hammer remained completely still, still that same deathly, deep, and cold.

Li Yuan added a drop of his Source Blood and 500 years of lifespan in one go, and then swung the hammer, striking like a fierce storm.

Celestial Thunder and Earth Fiend came rolling in.

But just like the time with Lady Yan, the Celestial Thunder merged into the fire Li Yuan exhaled, while the Earth Fiend lost direction due to being filled with Yang Qi, bouncing a few times on the ground before disappearing.

For a long time...

The sound of a long quenching process followed.

A small half of a mountain spring completely vaporized into misty steam.

And a golden, dazzling axe body resembling the sun was born!

Li Yuan fitted the axe handle with second-grade Blood Gold, and carved some patterns he had long intended to on the grip.

These were the emblems of the nine clans of the Nine Flames, and these emblems encircled around the fire, forming a scene of unity.

After much time...

The carving was also completed.

Li Yuan exhaled a breath of relief, picked up the giant axe, and tried it out.

Upon trying it, it felt good.

The giant axe stirred the Yang Qi within him, then stimulated him to leap over Fifth Grade and reach Fourth Grade.

But this was different from "Celestial Thunder Possession."

"Celestial Thunder Possession" was something only he could use.

However, this giant axe seemed to be usable by anyone possessing "Fire Born" Yang Qi.

Li Yuan quickly went to the Eighth Company Cities, found Zhenyan Xiong who was outside, and let him try the axe.

Upon trying it, Zhenyan Xiong was astonished...

His Fifth Grade directly advanced to Fourth Grade.

In Li Yuan’s eyes, his data also changed from "1710~1725" to "1710~13200."

This data could already rival the Vice Sect Leader of the Black Lotus Sect whom Li Yuan had seen before.

Zhenyan Xiong also felt his own enhancement, excitedly asking, "Barbarian King, this is..."

Li Yuan said, "The Barbarian King’s Token, obtained from the fire!

This is the boon bestowed upon my Barbarian Race by the heavens!!

Zhenyan Xiong, go gather the nine clans, I want them to know, henceforth... this axe shall belong to the successive Barbarian Kings!

Without this axe, one cannot claim the title of Barbarian King!"
