Chapter 943: Struggles Of Power.
The Terran watched the weapon bathing in the lightning streaks falling from the sky. Shi Lang had no expression on his face, it was as if the red lightning made no difference to him.
From the corner of his eye, he saw Lady Yao standing beside a few people. He used his spirit consciousness and asked, "Elder, is everything alright?"
Lady Yao nodded and replied, "Yes, it is alright. The few seniors are curious about the way you provoked the tribulation."
Shi Lang nodded and then said, "Well, it is about to finish, after trying my hand to leave a mark on the Heaven Forging Pillar, I will head out to find a place to cultivate in seclusion. I am about to reach the peak of the Dao General Realm."
Lady Yao nodded in understanding, after a level, cultivation was not about accumulation of the spiritual energy but about the comprehension of Dao Laws. In the past few days, Shi Lang reached the level of the Sword Saint and also created a new technique to cast the Dao Laws into runes.
His comprehension was strong enough for him to achieve a breakthrough. She was looking forward to how far he could go this time. The time he had left outside the sect was shrinking and he needed to go back to participate in the sect competition.
Shi Lang took a deep breath as the last bolt of lightning hit the sword. The sword trembled and everyone thought that it might crack but after a few seconds, the sword glowed and a shockwave was sent out in the void.
Shi Lang raised his hand and the weapon fell back in his hand. He took a deep breath and caressed the blade. The thunder clouds vanished gradually, and the Terran approached the group of people watching him.
He cupped his fists to greet the people and then turned to look at Lady Yao. He extended the sword and said, "Teacher, give it a try?"
Lady Yao asked, "Why are you not using your own skill?"
Shi Lang smiled and replied, "I have yet to comprehend a few things, using half baked skills to test this weapon is a sin."
Lady Yao smiled and took the sword from his hands. She flew to a distance and Shi Lang said, "Try to run your spiritual energy through it and see if the Dao Runes are suitable for you."
Lady Yao nodded and followed his directions. Then after a few swings, everyone was shocked. The person did not use her own Dao Comprehension in the attacks but she was able to rip the void apart and the damage was significant.
Shi Lang took a deep breath and said, "Channel the slaughter laws."
Lady Yao was surprised and she did what he said. The next second even the Dwarf leaders frowned, the slaughter energy in the void was so strong that it put some pressure on them. On the surface of the blade a red rune was glowing, and the power of the attack was amplified by ten times.
Dahl Titus was shocked as he said, "Ten Times Amplification."
Every one was scared, this weapon could take down a person two realms above the wielder. As a Dao Empress, Lady Yao might not have been a match for the Dao Sovereigns but with this weapon, she could critically injure them if not kill them.
Lady Yao nodded and came back before she handed it back to Shi Lang, and asked, "I see multiple runes, what is there function?"
Shi Lang replied, "Speed, sharpness, slaughter and concealment. I selected for different elements from four different Dao Laws, then engraved them on the surface of the blade. It was easier to do so, any Dao Law encompasses a great deal of elements.
If you wish to create a weapon with all the Dao Laws engraved on it, then it would take a long time plus human body is not strong enough to handle the strain in the long run. This technique saves time, and energy. However, the quality difference is obvious."
Lady Yao nodded and Shi Lang stored the weapon away. He looked at the four people and cupped his fist as he said, "Greetings, Seniors."
The two old men nodded and one of them asked, "Young man, would you like to practice forging in the black rock city?"
Shi Lang and Lady Yao were surprised, this sentence was a privilege, because never has a Dwarven leader called over a human to practice in the city.
Just when Shi Lang was confused, Vali said, "This is my grandfather and also a Dao Forging Grandmaster, Dahl Titus."
Shi Lang was shocked, he looked at the old dwarf and mumbled, "Your name sits at the top of the Heaven forging pillar." Enjoy more content from empire
The dwarf nodded but his eyes did not show any sign of pride or ego. He was very humble. Cryll stepped up and said, "This gentleman is my grandfather and the head of the Olym family. He is also a Dao Forging Grandmaster."
Shi Lang was shocked once more. He nodded and bowed to the two old people sincerely. The two men nodded and Malron asked, "Kid, I will not beat around the bush. Do you want to join my Olym family? I will give you all the guidance you need to step up as a forger, you will have a lot of wealth as well."
Vali clenched her fist, she wanted to say something when her grandfather shook his head. Shi Lang cupped his fists and said, "I thank you for the consideration, Senior, but I apologize as I cannot accept it."
The people were surprised, and Olym asked, "Why not?"
His tone was not overwhelming but he just wanted to know why Shi Lang would give up such an offer. If he were to invite some other human, they would wage wars to join them, yet here they were, looking at a young man who was saying no to them, they had to know why Shi Lang refused.
The Terran smiled and replied, "I have to go and report to my master back in the sect, and then I have some accounts to settle. I cannot spend my life in the Olymp family forging weapons."
Malron Olymp wanted to say something when Dahl Titus said, "It is fine if you do not wish to join us, but you should try your hand at the Heaven Forging Pillar. Only the first Dao Weapon can be used to leave a mark."
Shi Lang nodded and thanked them before leaving. The four people watched him leave and he clenched his fist. Lady Yao was following him and said, "Are you worried they might make a move?"
Shi Lang nodded, and the lady said, "No, they will not. It is not in their nature to attack people who refuse to them. Dwarves do not prefer war."
The Terran nodded, but he did not say that he had a hard time believing her words. Lady Yao had more experience than Shi Lang when it came to dealing with the people of different races.
Shi Lang was still an explorer because he has never been to such strong places. After a few minutes they appeared next to the Heaven Forging Pillar. The height of the pillar was ninety-nine feet, and there were many people who were trying to stab or hit it with the weapon they refined.
Shi Lang watched them for a few minutes before he joined the queue. It was not daily that someone would be able to register their name. The people here were all young, but none of them could get the pillar to recognize them.
Soon, it was Shi Lang's turn, the young man channeled his spiritual energy and the next moment, he slashed at the pillar. The people almost did not catch his movement. None of the people had any expectation from him after all he was a human.
Just when someone snorted, the pillar began to glow. An exclamation from the crowd created chaos.
"Fuck! Heaven Forging Pillar recognized a Forging Master, a human forging master."
Boom!
The chaos began and Lady Yao held Shi Lang's arm before she said, "Carve your name and we are leaving."
Shi Lang nodded hurriedly and flicked his wrist a few times. Two characters were carved deeply on the surface of the pillar. Lady Yao waved her hand and opened a void tunnel, dragging Shi Lang with her.
They were going away from the city because Shi Lang needed to focus on cultivation and the struggle of the powerful was not something efficient.
The people were shocked, when the name began to glow with the golden light, and then vanished. Everyone began to look for the two characters. While everyone was looking from down to the top. Vali said, "Grandpa, he is right beside you and Master Olym."
The two old men looked at each other and snorted. Dahl Titus said, "This young man will become a great figure in the coming days."
Malron replied, "He already is."
Then he looked at the two youngsters and said, "You two focus more."
The old men left and the city was drowned in the waves of surprise and shock. The first human to cast a Dao weapon has emerged.
