Chapter 287 Have you really never refined any weapon before?

The few Imperial Realm Cultivators didn't want to die; only with Li Xuanfeng's death could they avoid their demise.

However, from the strength Li Xuanfeng displayed just now, even if they joined forces, they couldn't match him, and even fully utilizing their trump cards would likely only barely preserve their lives.

A slight misstep could even lead to him defeating them one by one.

"Only by joining forces! Only by joining forces!"

"King Wushuang's growth rate is too astonishing; if a Venerable doesn't appear, only the Imperial Realm Cultivators of the major super forces can eliminate him by joining forces!"

The few Imperial Realm Cultivators' thoughts raced.

Even if they joined forces, they didn't have the courage to confront Li Xuanfeng.

Facing him alone would be certain death.

Staying in this Heaven Refining Formation wasn't safe either; who knew if a monster like Li Xuanfeng also possessed powerful talent in the Dao of Artifact Refining? If he rushed into the second or third layers of space, they would be finished.

But they also didn't dare to actively give up Artifact Refining and teleport out, because Li Xuanfeng could do the same!

The best way was to wait until Li Xuanfeng reached a critical moment in his Artifact Refining, then they would actively withdraw.

However, Li Xuanfeng's Artifact Refining talent remained unknown.

"How can this Human Race Cultivator be so exaggerated?"

"Even compared to Spirit Emperor, his talent pales in comparison!"

In the fourth layer of space, Nine Flame Crow Emperor and Blazing Tiger Emperor were deeply shaken.

They were both at the Peak of the Imperial Realm, with outstanding strength; if ranked in the Holy City Land, they would be considered strong Cultivators on the Imperial Ranking.

The Domain range from 630,000 li to 720,000 li falls within the Peak of the Imperial Realm.

Though all at the Peak, there were still differences in strength.

Li Xuanfeng's strength was that of an ordinary Peak Imperial Realm Cultivator, and there was still a certain gap compared to Imperial Ranking strong Cultivators.

Both Nine Flame Crow Emperor and Blazing Tiger Emperor were confident they could defeat Li Xuanfeng at present, and if they were fully prepared, killing him was also achievable.

However, the current Li Xuanfeng was, after all, only at the Peak of the King Realm!

Once he underwent a Breakthrough past the Realm barrier and reached the Early Stage of the Imperial Realm, perhaps the situation would reverse.

"Such a terrifying King Realm Cultivator, calling him the only one through the ages is not an exaggeration!"

For the first time, the two Yao Emperors felt a deep sense of dread towards a Human Race Cultivator whose strength was temporarily inferior to theirs.

"His strength… has it already reached the level of a Peak Imperial Realm Cultivator?"

"How much time has passed since then?"

On the other side, far from Nine Flame Crow Emperor and Blazing Tiger Emperor, Ice Feather Emperor stared blankly at that figure.

She was one of those who had personally witnessed Li Xuanfeng's strength, and compared to when he killed King Hundred Flames and a few others in Weapon Refining City, the current Li Xuanfeng had undoubtedly become much stronger.

Although Ice Feather Emperor couldn't compare to Spirit Emperor, she was still a strong Cultivator on the Imperial Ranking.

Originally, even if Li Xuanfeng could kill an Early Stage Imperial Realm Cultivator, there was still a huge gap between him and her, but now, that gap had significantly narrowed.

Once Li Xuanfeng's cultivation officially broke through to the Imperial Realm, his strength might even surpass hers.

Realizing this, Ice Feather Emperor was somewhat dazed. Had her decision back then truly been wrong?

Had she missed the chance to embrace a powerful ally and soar?

"He might not necessarily survive this great calamity!"

"And even if I had helped him back then, he might not have given me much in return!"

Ice Feather Emperor could only comfort herself in her heart.

Fifth layer of space.

Spirit Emperor's gaze towards Li Xuanfeng also flashed with a hint of shock.

"Even though I already thought very highly of him, I still underestimated his rate of improvement!"

She thought more highly of Li Xuanfeng's cultivation talent than anyone else, and she also realized for the first time that someone could completely crush her in terms of cultivation talent.

But she still hadn't expected Li Xuanfeng's improvement speed to be this fast!

"Even if his Artifact Refining talent is only one-tenth of his cultivation talent, it would still be enough to leave countless Artifact Refiners in the dust!"

"I can't wait to see him refine artifacts!"

Spirit Emperor looked at the slender figure holding a long sword, her beautiful eyes gleaming.

A Cultivator with such monstrous cultivation talent, even if his Artifact Refining talent was terrible, it probably wouldn't be that bad.

Moreover, compared to having terrible Artifact Refining talent, Spirit Emperor believed there was a higher probability that his Artifact Refining talent was good.

Buzz!

The Azure Heaven Sword disappeared, and Chaos mist surged out of nowhere, beginning to refine the two Domains.

After remembering the aura and appearance of those few Imperial Realm Cultivators, Li Xuanfeng withdrew his gaze; he was already accustomed to being the center of attention.

"Please select forty-nine or fewer Materials from three hundred Artifact Refining Materials for Artifact Refining!"

"Successfully refining a Low Grade King Dao Weapon will grant you a King-grade Low Grade Artifact Refiner's Handbook and an Enlightenment Rune!"

"Failure to refine will result in being teleported out of the Formation, and you will not be allowed to re-enter!"

From the moment Li Xuanfeng entered the Heaven Refining Formation, a lingering thought from a Yao Race Divine Sense had been echoing in his mind.

Now that the battle was over, he finally diverted some of his attention to it.

"Then let's refine!"

After a response echoed in his mind, that Divine Thought dissipated.

Ripples spread through the space, and dazzling Artifact Refining Materials appeared out of thin air before him.

They looked no different from real Artifact Refining Materials, but Li Xuanfeng knew these were merely simulated illusions.

The Heaven Refining Formation was designed to be powerful and ingenious; the simulated Materials seemed to be no different from real ones when refined.

It seemed that this grand Formation was a super treasure trove for cultivating top-tier Artifact Refiners, but as a top-tier Formation Great Master, Li Xuanfeng could tell that the Heaven Refining Formation consumed an immense amount of energy.

The ability to simulate so many precious and powerful Materials relied entirely on the Formation's accumulation over long ages; it couldn't sustain itself for too long. Therefore, passing the trial and obtaining the Legacy as early as possible was best.

Once too much time passed, the Formation's energy would be depleted, and even if Artifact Refiners continued to enter, they would no longer be able to obtain simulated Artifact Refining Materials, unless the Formation recharged again after a long period of time.

"Fellow Daoist Li, have you really never refined artifacts before?"

Regarding Li Xuanfeng's Artifact Refining, Spirit Emperor was even more concerned than he was, and her Divine Sense transmission once again echoed in his mind.

"It's well-known that I am an Alchemist. I have refined some Medicinal Pills, but I have never touched Artifact Refining. The two should have many commonalities."

Li Xuanfeng replied via transmission.

After receiving Spirit Emperor's feedback, he was now a theoretical Great Master in Artifact Refining, and an experienced theoretical Great Master at that.

But he had indeed never personally refined a weapon.

"Alchemy and Artifact Refining do have many commonalities, but the differences are also significant. I will tell you an Artifact Refining formula that is very suitable for you to try now."

As Spirit Emperor spoke, she directly told Li Xuanfeng the Artifact Refining formula.

Just as Alchemy has Pill Formulas, Artifact Refining naturally has corresponding formulas.

When refining a weapon, different Materials and different Fusion ratios will naturally lead to different results.

The formula Spirit Emperor transmitted to Li Xuanfeng was a very basic Low Grade King Dao Weapon formula, specifically for a long sword, which was relatively simple.

It was not as complex as refining weapons like bells, tripods, pagodas, or mirrors.

"Since you have refined Medicinal Pills, you should have condensed a spirit flame, right?"

Spirit Emperor subconsciously asked.

Whether it was Alchemy or Artifact Refining, one crucial element was indispensable: the spirit flame.

Innate spirit flames were hard to find; even Spirit Emperor didn't possess such a treasure. One needed to condense it oneself, preserve a seed of fire within the body, constantly nourish it, and constantly temper it, making it incredibly powerful and able to be activated at will when needed.

"No."

Li Xuanfeng shook his head.

"???"

Spirit Emperor immediately had a face full of question marks.
