Chapter 862 - 862 Paragon Bone, Zhou Shu’s Promise (1)

862 Paragon Bone, Zhou Shu’s Promise (1)

It had to be said that Ji Lutian really broadened Zhou Shu’s horizons.

After obtaining Forging Materials Knowledge from the Legendary Armament Canon, there were not many forging materials in the world that Zhou Shu didn’t recognize.

But he had never seen or heard of the main materials that Ji Lutian had provided twice in a row.

First, there was the otherworldly divine iron, and then there was the paragon bone of the Zheng family’s ancestor.

Zhou Shu was only following Ji Lutian to forge because he wanted to repay him.

But now, he was really interested.

As a forger, after seeing new forging materials, he naturally had the desire to challenge himself.

Which forger wouldn’t want to try their skills after seeing new forging materials?

“Leave it to me,” Zhou Shu said confidently.

With a step, he was already in the air. He plunged his hand into the ball of fire.

The pale white flame soared with a whoosh, as if it wanted to chase Zhou Shu’s hand away.

He snorted, and his arm instantly turned red. The Iron Smelting Hands Technique erupted.

Boom!

The pale white flame seemed to be stimulated, and a thought seemed to be born in the countless tombs on the ground.

The white light at each tomb soared, and the light converged into a ball of light. The temperature of the white flame in the ball of light increased.

But Zhou Shu felt the temperature around his body drop instead of increase. Suddenly, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his blood was about to freeze.

The Iron Smelting Hands Technique was actually unable to suppress this cold flame.

Forgers used heavenly fire to forge weapons. Occasionally, they could also use the fire of the earth’s core to replace it. Zhou Shu’s Iron Smelting Hands Technique was actually a type of heavenly fire.

This was the first time he had encountered such a cold white flame.

But he wasn’t afraid. Just because the Iron Smelting Hands Technique couldn’t do it, it didn’t mean that he had no other way!

Zhou Shu snorted coldly, and the aura on his body suddenly changed. A supreme aura erupted, and the sword intent of the Seven Swords of Heaven Interception erupted. The white flame suddenly became ethereal, and it even stagnated for a moment.

“This is?” Zheng Jingyun’s eyes lit up, and he almost lost control of his fighting spirit.

What a powerful sword intent!

This was a rare opponent!

There were very few Martial Dao geniuses who were not Martial Dao fanatics. If not for the fact that they were obsessed with the Martial Dao, no matter how talented they were, it would be impossible for them to reach the extreme of the Martial Dao.

There was an exception. Yin Wuyou wasn’t obsessed with the Martial Dao, but her cultivation grew rapidly. Although she wasn’t obsessed with the Martial Dao, she was obsessed with cultivating the God of War Catalog…

“No.” Ji Lutian’s figure flashed as he stood in front of Zheng Jingyun and said in a low voice, “Brother Zheng, do you want to destroy this place?”

Zheng Jingyun returned to his senses. This was his family’s ancestral grave. With his cultivation, if he really fought with this man who possessed such a terrifying sword intent, there was a high chance that they would ruin this place.

Suppressing the fighting spirit in his heart, Zheng Jingyun looked at Zhou Shu and whispered, “Sooner or later, I must experience his sword technique.”

“One day, when the problem of demonic beasts is resolved, you can spar however much you want,” Ji Lutian said casually.

At this moment, Zhou Shu had already used the sword intent of the Seven Swords of Heaven Interception to suppress the cold white flame, and his hand finally touched the paragon bone.

The paragon bone was three feet long and didn’t look like the spine of an ordinary person. The bone was as smooth as jade and as hard as diamond. Most importantly, a faint Dao Intent was emanating from the bone.

This paragon bone was not an ordinary forging material. It was the spine of a supreme expert back then. It had been tempered by the supreme expert for many years and then by Ji Lutian. Perhaps he had even joined forces with the master of the Sima Grotto-Heaven to use the wills of the Zheng family’s ancestors to temper it for countless years.

In a sense, this paragon bone already had spirituality.

When Zhou Shu touched the paragon bone, he seemed to hear countless roars, and an image appeared in his consciousness.

In the dark red sky, blood flowed like rivers on the ground. Figures soared into the sky and were struck down by the lightning in the sky. These figures exploded into clouds of blood mist, and the blood mist was like fireworks, dazzling and tragic.

This scene shocked Zhou Shu.

“What joy is there in life? What fear is there in death?!”

“We are martial artists. Why would we be afraid of a battle?!”

“Even if it’s an ant, we won’t let you slaughter it!”

“If you want to fight, then let’s fight. Even if I die nine times, I won’t regret it!”

Earth-shattering roars reverberated in Zhou Shu’s sea of consciousness. As the figures rushed into the sky one after another, he felt the blood in his body boil.

After an unknown period of time, his eyes suddenly opened, and a sharp light flashed.

His hand suddenly gripped the paragon bone.

Boom!

The world seemed to tremble. Even Ji Lutian and Zheng Jingyun heard faint voices coming from the countless tombs.

Neither of them could hear what the voices were saying.

Zhou Shu held the paragon bone and said loudly, “Seniors, I’ve already understood your wishes. Don’t worry. I will let this paragon bone play its role and definitely not let you down!”

Before he finished speaking, the entire cemetery fell silent.

Wisps of light floated out from these tombs and finally landed on the paragon bone in Zhou Shu’s hand.

Buzz—

The paragon bone shone brightly, dazzling to the point of being impossible to look at. An invisible aura spread out, and Ji Lutian and Zheng Jingyun couldn’t help taking a step back.

The two of them were shocked. The two of them were not ordinary people. Even if the two of them were not the top experts in the world, they were definitely in the first tier.

But this paragon bone had yet to take shape, yet it was already emitting such a powerful aura as a forging material. If it could really be forged into a divine weapon, how powerful would it be?

...

“Ji Lutian, I regret it,” Zheng Jingyun muttered.

Ji Lutian didn’t say anything. He naturally knew what Zheng Jingyun regretted. He definitely regretted accepting the Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod.

Although the Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod was powerful, this paragon bone emitted an aura that was not weaker than the Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod’s just in the form of a forging material. When it was really forged into a divine weapon, it would definitely be stronger than the Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod!

“It’s useless to regret,” Ji Lutian whispered. He had a headache now. The power of the paragon bone far exceeded his expectations. How powerful would the connate divine weapon forged with it be?

What master should he find for this divine weapon?

Countless names flashed through Ji Lutian’s mind, but he rejected them all.

This wouldn’t be an easy decision.

“Ji Lutian, let me tell you. This is the paragon bone of my Zheng family’s ancestor. The connate divine weapon it is forged into must not fall into the hands of outsiders!” Zheng Jingyun said grimly. The killing intent on his body was almost tangible, and his aura soared into the sky.
