Chapter 430: Successful Artifact Refining, Trouble Arrives

After Lin Fan returned from Cangling Continent, he had nothing much to do each day. Although he kept the matters of the Beast Spirit Realm and the Heavenly Dao in mind, he had no idea when they would strike.

If he worried every day, it would be a torment. Better to just live well.

Lin Fan had already told Sect Leader Yan and the others about this. The invasion of the Beast Spirit Realm would indeed be a disaster for the billions of living beings in Dongling Continent, but there was nothing to be done.

Dongling Continent was vast as the ocean, its population as numerous as stars. If the Beast Spirit Realm invaded from all sides, Lin Fan and the others would be powerless.

Therefore, Lin Fan left this headache to Sect Leader Yan and the others.

As for Lin Fan himself, he spent his days leisurely, teaching his two little disciples.

A month later.

Lin Fan wanted to refine a magical artifact.

This idea had lingered in Lin Fan's mind for a long time. Now, after a month, he had gathered many materials. Even if he couldn't necessarily refine it successfully, at least he could complete a prototype.

With a flick of his sleeve, various treasures floated before Lin Fan.

Sky-Supporting Spirit Wood, Abyss Water, Golden Yin Dragon Stone... countless treasures floated before him; any one of them, taken out, would cause people to fight over it.

"Activate artifact refining."

Originally, the artifact refining method in the system involved selecting the type to refine, but Lin Fan now intended to create a new method.

With Lin Fan at the center, an artifact refining array suddenly spread around him.

Lin Fan hooked his finger, and the "Sky-Supporting Spirit Wood" floated over. The first step was to shape it.

"Sky-Supporting Spirit Wood" was one of the rarest treasures; even the Holy Sect didn't have it. Lin Fan had personally gone to a dangerous place and barely managed to find this material.

In an instant, under a ball of artifact refining fire, the "Sky-Supporting Spirit Wood" continuously deformed and then gradually melted.

"Reorganize."

Lin Fan poured in some Abyss Water and added dozens of precious treasures like Golden Yin Dragon Stone.

Lin Fan's idea was to refine a nation, and the technique "Demon City in the Palm" gave him great inspiration.

Under the tempering of the artifact refining fire, a city gradually took shape.

Looking at the city floating before him, a smile appeared on Lin Fan's lips. This was a small step toward success, but there was still a long way to go.

Heaven and Earth have five elements. A city is a world; without the five elements, it naturally cannot be complete.

"Pseudo Five Spirits."

The Pseudo Five Spirits obtained last time had been sitting in his backpack, useless. Now was a good chance to try them.

When Lin Fan added the Pseudo Five Spirits, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred.

The semi-finished artifact began to crack continuously, as if it might shatter at any moment.

"Damn, is it going to fail this quickly?" Seeing this, Lin Fan was dumbfounded.

"Right, the five elements generate and overcome each other. My placement must be wrong." At that moment, Lin Fan thought of this principle and quickly began adjusting.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth—the Pseudo Five Spirits shifted positions under Lin Fan's fingers until he found a suitable arrangement. The cracking artifact restored itself, and the five forces interpenetrated and amplified each other.

"Now comes the most important step. If this works, the semi-finished product will be complete."

Although the ancient great demon was dead, the majestic power of its corpse still remained.

If not for the divine artifact "Seven Degrees of Space" last time, he might not have been able to defeat that ancient great demon. Even now, it would be hard to say if he could suppress it.

"Heaven and Earth Furnace, refine."

Lin Fan threw the vast corpse of the ancient great demon into the Heaven and Earth Furnace to refine it.

"Ding, congratulations on successful refinement."

"Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Soul of the Ancient Great Demon."

A soul radiating demonic aura floated quietly before Lin Fan. It looked dazed, as if in a chaotic state, not yet awakened.

"Fuse."

Lin Fan used the Soul of the Ancient Great Demon as the artifact spirit of the magical artifact.

Nowadays, no matter how high-grade treasures in the Xuanhuang Realm were, they were like dead things. But when an artifact possessed a spirit, it had the potential for infinite advancement.

The Soul of the Ancient Great Demon slowly merged into the artifact. In an instant, the artifact seemed to come alive. Lin Fan could feel a life being nurtured within it.

The semi-finished Demon City might truly be completed.

Looking at the artifact spinning before him, radiating waves of demonic aura, Lin Fan was overjoyed. He then communicated with the Parasol Tree Divine Tree, drew a strand of life force, and infused it into the Demon City.

"Boom..."

A beam of light burst forth, and a vast aura enveloped the Demon City.

"Ding, congratulations on refining a semi-finished pseudo divine artifact."

...

At this moment, everyone in the Holy Sect was shocked by this aura.

"What is that kid up to now?" Sect Leader Yan had already noticed the strange aura over there and was very curious about what Lin Fan was making.

The other Supreme Elders were also astonished, then smiled calmly. They had grown accustomed to the kid's wonders.

Recently, they had been busy contacting various sects, exhausting their minds. Some sects understood the situation and were willing to cooperate, while others verbally agreed, but they knew those sects didn't take the matter seriously.

...

At this moment, Lin Fan was overjoyed. The system prompt proved that his efforts had succeeded.

Semi-finished pseudo divine artifact?

There's a trick to this, damn it.

Pseudo divine artifact, and semi-finished at that...

At this moment, Lin Fan was speechless.

Thinking about the two divine artifacts, "Nine-Five Big Red Brick" and "Seven Degrees of Space," the materials used to refine them were nothing compared to the "Demon City."

Yet this "Demon City" was still a semi-finished pseudo divine artifact, which left Lin Fan a bit helpless. Indeed, sometimes luck is also a form of strength.

Regardless, it was an attempt, and the attempt succeeded.

Artifact refining requires opening up the mind.

Lin Fan wouldn't let the "Demon City" only have this much power. He began to ponder how to make it stronger.

"Reverse the Universe."

"True Ultimate Destructive Foot."

"Big Bro Fan."

...

Lin Fan wanted to incorporate all these things into the "Demon City," but found it impossible. He sighed helplessly.

It seemed he would have to think of a way slowly.

Another month later.

"Haha... Finally succeeded."

That day, Lin Fan suddenly pushed open the door and came out. After this hard work, he had finally filled in many of the "Demon City's" functions.

In the future, to gradually upgrade the "Demon City" to a divine artifact, he would need to continuously add precious treasures and also find the true Five Spirits to fuse into it. Then Lin Fan was confident he could upgrade the "Demon City" to a perfect pseudo divine artifact.

At that moment, Sect Leader Yan and the Supreme Elders arrived from all directions.

"Everyone, I succeeded." Lin Fan looked at them, a bright smile on his lips.

But when he saw their expressions, his heart tightened. Had something happened?

"They're here..." Sect Leader Yan looked at Lin Fan with a worried expression. It came so suddenly, without any warning.

"So soon?" Lin Fan suppressed his excitement and his face turned serious.

"Yes."

This so-called "they're here" meant the Beast Spirit Realm had truly begun its invasion.
