The texture of the silver longbow wasn't just for show—it could plunder the energy of the surrounding world.
When a total of seventy-seven—or perhaps forty-nine—silver longbows manifested, they appeared one after another, each covered in shimmering silver light.
Rumble!
The surrounding space rippled violently.
Above the grand hall, ominous black thunderclouds churned, and streaks of lightning began to flicker.
"Thunder?"
"Wait… is it going to rain?"
"No," Qin Shi muttered as his eyes locked onto the longbow in Ye Feng's hand. "This isn't ordinary thunder. A divine artifact is about to be born!"
Wang Yan and the others froze, staring in awe at the bow radiating silver light. They could feel it—a monumental shift in the world's energy.
"It's said that when peerless divine weapons are forged, the heavens respond with visions and thunder," Qin Shi said, his voice trembling. "Only weapons acknowledged by heaven and baptized by thunder are considered true divine artifacts."
The sky cracked again. Black lightning tore across the clouds like a god's whip.
Ye Feng, calm and composed, raised his head and spoke as if he were addressing the heavens themselves.
"This thunder isn't right. It's only Black Demon Thunder. I want the Blue Flame Celestial Thunder."
The moment his voice fell, the thunderclouds above began to churn once more.
Heaven responded.
The black lightning faded, giving way to arcs of eerie blue thunder that crackled like flames. The strange blue lightning didn't burn—it froze. The temperature dropped sharply, and fine snowflakes began to drift down inside the tomb of the Nirvana Realm expert. Despite it being the hottest day of the year, cold wind howled through the ancient ruin, sending shivers down everyone's spines.
Crack!
Ye Feng raised his hand and drew out the silver longbow from midair. It hovered silently before him, bathed in the strange celestial glow.
"It's time to begin," he declared.
As if obeying his command, the sky erupted once more.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Blazing blue lightning rained down, striking the silver longbow with relentless force.
Lin Qingtan could only stare, stunned. She knew Young Master Ye was powerful, but this… even the heavens seemed to obey his voice.
"Master Ye, what's happening?" she asked, her voice full of awe.
"Baptism," Ye Feng replied.
"Baptism?"
Ye Feng nodded and explained calmly, "When a divine weapon is forged, the energy within it can stir the forces of nature. The thunder isn't a test—it's the final step of forging. This is enchantment. Activation."
"Enchantment…?" Lin Qingtan echoed in confusion.
"It's like awakening the weapon's true potential. Only those weapons struck by heavenly thunder and survive it gain recognition from the world. After enchantment, the weapon's power will grow tremendously."
As he spoke, thunderbolts continued to crash down onto the longbow. Each strike caused the silver runes on the bow's surface to glow more intensely.
Boom!
Buzz—
Each lightning strike unleashed a shockwave that rippled through the space.
Buzz—
The fourth shockwave knocked Qin Shi and Wang Yan pale.
Buzz—
The fifth shockwave blasted them into the walls, blood trickling from their lips.
Buzz—
By the sixth wave, even masters of the Creation Realm were forced to retreat to the outskirts, their expressions filled with fear.
Buzz—
The seventh wave obliterated the main hall itself.
Buzz—Buzz—
The eighth and ninth waves came one after another. Anyone foolish enough to enter the area was instantly vaporized—reduced to dust without a trace.
Hiss—
Qin Shi and Wang Yan were left speechless.
A weapon… just by being activated, released enough power to kill Earth Yuan Realm warriors without effort. If this was its passive aura—what would happen when it was used in combat?
As the ninth thunderbolt faded, the silver longbow hovered calmly in the sky, wrapped in arcs of flickering blue electricity. The temperature had plummeted further, and the aura around the bow formed a domain. Within a thousand meters, no Earth Yuan Realm warrior could approach.
Snowflakes drifted slowly around the divine weapon.
Lin Qingtan, born with the Nine-Yin Evil Body and blessed with the purest cold energy in the world, felt an invisible pull. This weapon—it was made for her.
"Qingtan," Ye Feng said gently, "Give me your blood essence."
"Eh?" Lin Qingtan blinked, her cheeks quickly turning bright red. "Y-You want… my blood essence?"
"Yes."
"Right now?"
"Yes."
"Must it be… now?"
"Definitely."
Blushing furiously, Lin Qingtan scurried behind a large stone. After a few minutes, she returned—her face so red it could almost bleed. In her trembling hands was a strip of cloth, freshly stained with blood.
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow.
He wasn't naïve. He understood immediately what kind of "essence" she had misunderstood.
Still, he didn't say a word and accepted it calmly.
"Is there… a problem?" Lin Qingtan asked nervously, eyes downcast.
"No problem," Ye Feng said with a faint smile.
He flicked his fingers, and soul power surged. From the cloth, he extracted a droplet of pure blood essence. The moment the essence touched the silver longbow, it shone with brilliant silver light.
In that moment, Lin Qingtan felt the immense pressure that had been suppressing her soul disappear.
"The oppressive aura… it's gone?" she whispered, wide-eyed.
"Come," Ye Feng called.
The divine weapon drifted gently into his hand.
This was no ordinary bow. It was a compound design, its arms fitted with twin silver crescent blades that gleamed like moonlight.
Swish!
Ye Feng gave it a test swing, and one of the silver moon blades effortlessly sliced a boulder clean in half.
"So sharp!" Lin Qingtan gasped.
"This is a weapon forged from black silver and refined under thunder tribulation," Ye Feng explained. "It can slay gods. It's not only a long-range weapon—it's a close-combat weapon too. Even against a cultivator with an indestructible golden body, these moon blades can cut clean through."
Then, he extended the weapon toward her.
"It's yours now."
