Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

This time, he wanted to try out his previous idea.

Could starlight be used as an elemental attribute to temper Heavenly Refined Metal?

What effect would introducing primal starlight to temper Heavenly Refined Metal have?

Opening the forging table, Xu Yuan began forging.

There was no need to demonstrate for the people of the forging department. His progress was very fast at the moment. In just twenty or so hammer strikes, he completed Soul Forging.

At this moment, in the sky, the five elements and the lightning element gathered.

Xu Yuan frowned.

Under these circumstances, he actually had no way to gather primal starlight.

Mobilizing elemental power was indeed too exhausting. Xu Yuan didn't have any extra strength to draw in primal starlight.

If he were in the Starry Sky Phenomenon, everything could naturally be solved easily. However, to avoid accidents, he didn't do it in the Starry Sky Phenomenon. Instead, he tried it at the other end of the Endless Mountains, far away from the spatial passage.

"Fortunately, I was prepared in advance."

Xu Yuan released the primal starlight that he had stored in the Dreamscape in advance, mixed it with the six elements, and integrated it into the forging hammer. Then, using the permeation characteristic of the forging hammer, he slammed these elemental forces fiercely into the metal in front of him.

The moment it was slammed in, he finally realized the difference between primal starlight and ordinary elements.

"With my control over starlight, have I not reached the level where I can use it as a basis to transition enlightenment?"

This was also the first time Xu Yuan had this feeling.

Mainly, although the control of starlight was a bit more difficult, he had still cultivated to a certain extent. Especially in the application of starlight, he had never stopped.

He could even freely mobilize starlight with his own spiritual power.

However, this didn't seem to meet the standard.

"Could it be that using starlight to transition enlightenment requires a higher level?"

Why would there be higher requirements?

In just an instant, countless ideas collided in Xu Yuan's mind.

The existence of the Dreamscape and the advantage of multiple brains thinking with different ideas at the same time brought by the Illusion Star allowed him to form countless collisions of thought in a short moment.

Following a line, Xu Yuan quickly sorted out the logic.

"If there are higher requirements, then this is very likely the direction for further advancement in forging!"

"Where is starlight more special than the elements of heaven and earth? What impact can this special point have on forging? Or, to be more precise, what impact can it have on the enlightenment engraved in the metal?"

"Bang!"

The metal in front of him became unstable and exploded instantly. Xu Yuan's blood energy erupted, and he forcibly withstood the damage from the explosion.

At this moment, he was also awakened by the explosion of the metal and came back to his senses.

If the level wasn't up to par, the Heavenly Refinement process would naturally be interrupted.

This forging was destined to fail from the beginning because Xu Yuan's knowledge was limited.

Seeing that Xu Yuan was still thinking deeply, Mu Ye and the others hesitated for a moment before deciding not to disturb Xu Yuan.

"If starlight doesn't work, what about the spiritual energy with starlight attributes?"

Xu Yuan first converted the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, guiding it to produce starlight attributes.

To be honest, he hadn't used starlight attributes in this way for a long time.

Since he directly mastered starlight, why would he use the method of attaching attributes to soul power to fight?

Everything went smoothly, and he began forging again.

This time, while guiding the elements to pour into the metal's interior, Xu Yuan once again discovered an anomaly.

"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth with starlight attributes can be used as a carrier, but this is ultimately an induced attribute, not a stable elemental force."

If this continues, the enlightenment transitioned by this part of the attribute's spiritual energy will also turn into nothingness, eventually becoming a blank slate, thereby affecting the transformation during the tribulation.

Xu Yuan took the initiative to stop.

"So, it's not a problem of attributes, but a difference between inside and outside, a difference between the energy within the plane and the energy in the universe?"

Xu Yuan tried again and began forging.

His blood energy was abundant. Even though he had failed twice in a row, he still had enough energy to complete a complete Heavenly Refinement.

This was the advantage of being young, and also the advantage of being strong.

This time, he put in a lot of effort.

He didn't draw in the surrounding elemental forces.

He directly used the Dreamscape to try to pierce through the barrier of the Douluo Plane and communicate with the universe.

In fact, he really did it.

With the extension of his Dreamscape, he achieved this step through the medium of the Starry Sky Phenomenon.

Using the Dreamscape as a bridge, Xu Yuan directly drew in the elemental forces from the universe.

He drew in the five elements.

Only the five elements.

These were what he was most familiar with, and also what he could control most easily.

The five elements in the universe were pitifully scarce. Or rather, except for space elements and starlight, other elemental forces were very thin.

It took Xu Yuan a long time to finally gather a certain amount of primal five elements.

He temporarily called them that.

Because there had been no such distinction before.

If his next attempt could verify his guess, then he would make a distinction in the future.

The primal five elements merged into the forging hammer and were slammed into the jade silver in front of Xu Yuan as the forging hammer fell.

Bang!

Before it could change, the jade silver exploded directly, its spirituality erupting, mixed with a large amount of primal five elements.

Mu Ye watched this scene from a distance, frowning slightly.

He knew that Heavenly Refinement would definitely have success rate limitations, but were Xu Yuan's few times just now really due to mistakes?

Although he didn't understand forging, he still had the most basic eyesight. The few times just now were definitely not Xu Yuan's forging skill problems, but seemed to be him trying something beyond the specifications.

"I understand."

Xu Yuan wasn't discouraged by the repeated failures. Instead, he was excited, his eyes flashing, revealing a look of surprise.

"Plane, universe, these are two levels. The native energy of the universe and the energy 'filtered' by the plane are different. They are different in essence. At least when it comes to forging, all native primal energy cannot be used in Heavenly Refinement. If I really want to forcibly use primal energy to transition my enlightenment, perhaps it will allow the metal to break away from the scope of the plane, transcend from the plane, and enter the cosmic level, becoming a star creature?"

Heavenly Refinement is to create true life forms.

And the boundaries of life forms are obviously divided, whether it belongs to life nurtured by the plane, or life in the universe.

Although the ultimate bestowal of life to Heavenly Refined Metal is done by the laws of the universe, the attribution may depend on the law affinity possessed by the Heavenly Refined Metal.

Using the power of the elements within the plane to transition provides a greater affinity with the plane itself.

If you want to verify this, you can try Heavenly Forging in the Demon Plane to see how the Heavenly Forged metal differs from that forged on Douluo Star, and also see if it can be integrated with the Soul Master's Martial Soul.

However, Xu Yuan felt that there was not much need for verification.

The experiment just now had already proven his conjecture very well.

"So, the next step of Heavenly Forging is to allow the life of the metal to transcend from within the plane and become a Starry Sky life?" Xu Yuan fell into thought.

What is the significance of this?

Is it having a higher level of existence?

Or is it having more opportunities?

Xu Yuan felt that if the original elemental energy was directly used for the transition during Heavenly Forging, would the resulting metal still be at the Heavenly Forged level? What would be the differences between this level of metal, even as a life form in the starry sky, and normal Heavenly Forged metal?

"The difference wouldn't be particularly large, after all, theoretically, it's just a change of identity."

The universe is infinitely vast, with a larger range for accommodation and a higher upper limit for what it can bear, while the plane, especially the Douluo Plane, does not allow for God-level beings.

Therefore, changing an identity is just about having the possibility of further advancement, rather than actually advancing further. Of course, this is definitely an important milestone in the process of further advancement.

Xu Yuan didn't waste too much time.

After figuring everything out, he began the normal forging process.

Boom!

As the Heavenly Forging Lightning Tribulation descended, the four members of the Body Sect, who had been waiting for a long time, also showed excitement.

Among them, Mu Ye was the most excited. While Xu Yuan was enduring the Lightning Tribulation, he diverted nearly 40% of the lightning power to the ground, and the lightning landed directly on him.

According to Xu Yuan's secret method, he directly endured the baptism of the lightning, guiding the power of the lightning to travel through his body.

With his powerful Qi and blood as protection, he was not injured by the power of the Lightning Tribulation. Instead, he continuously used the Lightning Tribulation to temper his own Qi and blood.

Next to Mu Ye, A Ruheng also endured nearly 10% of the Lightning Tribulation power.

Mu Ye and A Ruheng quickly mastered Xu Yuan's Lightning Tempering Secret Method, mainly due to prior practice and the experience of directly facing the power of the Lightning Tribulation.

In contrast, Jiang Wuyue and Wang Jinyang were much worse.

Among them, although Jiang Wuyue had transformed his Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul into a Qi and Blood Martial Soul in Dragon Valley, and had honed the use of Qi and Blood power in that environment, his own strength was still somewhat lacking.

However, he also endured about half a percent of the Lightning Tribulation power, but he did not directly master the Lightning Tempering Secret Technique. However, he still figured out some skills, and perhaps he would be able to directly master it after experiencing it once more.

Wang Jinyang was the most difficult one. His Soul Power level was too low, and his Qi and Blood strength was not enough, so he could only absorb the weak Lightning Tribulation power that had dissipated from Mu Ye's side. Each time, he could only draw a wisp into his body, fully resisting this Lightning Tribulation power and controlling it to travel through his body.

After a Lightning Tribulation, Mu Ye and A Ruheng successfully mastered the secret method, Jiang Wuyue was still a little short, and Wang Jinyang was electrocuted.

"One more time!"

Xu Yuan rested for a while and then performed Heavenly Forging again, helping Jiang Wuyue master the secret method.

"Alright, Xiaoyuan, you don't need to call us anymore in the future. You still need the power of these Lightning Tribulations to increase your Soul Power. We are just using the lightning to temper our bodies, and the utilization rate is not as good as yours, so we won't always occupy the power of the Lightning Tribulation that you attract."

Mu Ye stopped Xu Yuan.

He could see that Xu Yuan was now accelerating his Soul Power cultivation by devouring the Lightning Tribulation brought about by Heavenly Forging, so he did not intend to keep waiting by the side for Xu Yuan's Lightning Tribulation to temper his body.

Although it was unbelievable, Xu Yuan was indeed constantly performing Heavenly Forging and then using the Heavenly Forging Lightning Tribulation to cultivate.

This kind of model was unimaginable in the past.

"Then, Teacher, you..."

"Don't worry, the power of lightning is not only drawn down by the Lightning Tribulation. The main thing just now was to allow us to use the power of the Lightning Tribulation to adapt to your secret method. Now, except for Jinyang, the three of us have mastered the secret method. Even if you don't draw down the Lightning Tribulation, we can still cultivate by finding a place of lightning ourselves, and we can even accept hiring lightning-attribute Soul Masters to help draw down lightning-attribute elements."

Mu Ye said.

"Alright then."

"As for Jinyang, after trying several times today and enduring the invasion of these wisps of Lightning Tribulation power, his resistance to the lightning elemental power drawn down by ordinary Soul Masters should be higher. Under this lower intensity, he can try to operate the secret method."

Mu Ye's arrangement was very reasonable, and Xu Yuan did not continue to insist.

Time passed.

Soon, two months had passed since Xu Yuan returned to the Blood God Legion.

In those two months, the other end of the Endless Mountains had basically experienced the baptism of the Lightning Tribulation every day. The Lightning Tribulation was six-colored, with lightning as its main body, and the five elements rotated continuously, looking so harmonious. Whenever the Lightning Tribulation fell, there would be a figure floating in the ocean of lightning, devouring everything.

"Two months have passed, and my Soul Power has finally broken through level eighty-nine."

Level eighty-eight was very easy, but level eighty-nine took Xu Yuan a full fifty days to accumulate.

It wasn't that the energy required for him to increase one level of Soul Power had increased, but that his Soul Power was close to a solid state. At this critical point, the effect of forcibly compressing with vast energy was offset to the lowest by the time wasted in Heavenly Forging to draw down the Lightning Tribulation.

But fortunately, now that two months have passed, he has also reached level eighty-nine, and his whole body's Soul Power has reached another critical point.

"The Three-Word Battle Armor has been upgraded, and coupled with the fact that I may condense a Second Soul Core at any time and become a Titled Douluo, my strength can be doubled. It's not an exaggeration to say that I have Limit Combat Power."

Xu Yuan himself had never truly fought a Limit Douluo, so he was somewhat conservative in his estimation.

The gap between a Limit Douluo and a level ninety-eight Super Douluo was too great, so great that the Three-Word Battle Armor could not make up for it. A level ninety-eight Super Douluo wearing a Three-Word Battle Armor could not pose a threat to a Limit Douluo who had not fused with the Battle Armor.

The reason why Xu Yuan was considered capable of surpassing ten levels was because of the Absolute in his hand.

This is a divine spear.

"From the moment Absolute transformed, I no longer need to hide it."
