Chapter 609: Chapter 293: Innate Expert

The massive hammer instantly became rock-solid!

With his hands free, Chen Cheng’s Qi Blood Power surged. The Thunder Arcs erupting from his Second Layer Rising Dragon Realm suddenly grew as thick as a child’s arm, frantically pouring into the Thunderstruck Wood.

The Thunder Power within the Thunderstruck Wood was completely unleashed, surging wildly into a turbulent flow that flashed and pulsed rapidly inside.

ZAP! ZAP! ZAP!

The entire piece of wood trembled violently, humming as it shot into the air. It abruptly unleashed a dazzling white radiance the size of a washbasin, which surged toward the hammer!

The incomparably tyrannical pressure of the thunder easily broke through the Military Dao Combat Killing Array and poured into it.

Immediately after, the hammer also trembled violently. The Military Dao Combat Killing Array inside it restructured, flowed out of the hammer, and formed a Military Dao Formation about ten feet wide.

Then, the Military Dao Combat Killing Array’s unique trait of growing stronger through combat fully activated. It generated an immense suction force, devouring the white thunderous radiance whole.

VMMMM!

As it absorbed the thunder, the Military Dao Combat Killing Array suddenly erupted with crackling Thunder Arcs and began to tremble violently!

An incomparably tyrannical and terrifying pressure filled the entire workshop, threatening to shatter it to pieces!

Fortunately, the power of the Military Dao Combat Killing Array and the Thunder Power from the Thunderstruck Wood seemed to strike a balance, preventing any tangible power from being released.

BOOM!

In just a few breaths, all the Thunder Power from the Thunderstruck Wood was absorbed into the Military Dao Combat Killing Array!

The Array let out a violent roar, then settled into a perfectly flawless state. It slowly shrank and flowed back into the hammer.

"Hahaha... It’s done! And it’s a Military Dao Combat Killing Hammer in its most perfect form!"

In the corner, Luo Tiezhu’s eyes were as wide as bronze bells as he burst into wild laughter!

Chen Cheng retracted his Cyan Heaven Dharma Aspect, a faint smile touching his lips.

He then raised his hand, trying to draw the massive hammer toward him.

Unexpectedly, the hammer was so heavy that his First Layer of Great Power Realm could only lift it a few inches off the ground!

’Whoa! This hammer must weigh over four thousand pounds!’

Chen Cheng took a few steps forward and grabbed the Military Dao Combat Killing Hammer. He found it unusually heavy and even struggled a little to hold it!

The hammer’s head was multifaceted and angular, about the size of a small millstone. It gleamed with a bright silver light, and faint, lightning-shaped patterns were visible on its surface.

The handle was long and slender, just thin enough for a one-handed grip.

Weapons at the Pseudo-Spiritual Artifact Level all required nurturing with one’s own Qi Blood Power. This process, similar to binding an item with blood, was necessary to give birth to a trace of Spirituality. Only then could the weapon be wielded as if it were an extension of one’s arm.

Even from twenty or thirty feet away, the wielder could recall it to their hand without using the Great Power Realm, relying solely on the connection between the Array and their Qi Blood Power.

As long as the weapon’s owner lived, its Spirituality would not fade. Even if someone else were to take it, they would be unable to unleash its full power.

Chen Cheng channeled power into his hand. Wisps of blood-mist erupted and flowed into the Military Dao Combat Killing Hammer, and a sudden understanding bloomed in his mind.

VMM! VMM! VMM!

He swung the Military Dao Combat Killing Hammer several times in succession. With each swing, it shrank, until it was about the same size as the large sledgehammers in the Blacksmith Workshop.

"Whoa!" Seeing Chen Cheng casually holding the four-thousand-plus-pound Military Dao Combat Killing Hammer without even breaking a sweat, Luo Tiezhu couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement. His eyes bulged as he spoke,

"Ah Cheng, what kind of monster *are* you?"

"I’m human, Elder Luo!"

Chen Cheng gave a small smile and walked out of the Blacksmith Workshop, Military Dao Combat Killing Hammer in hand. He began swinging it wildly around the courtyard!

Instantly, wind and thunder raged throughout the Xuanwu Courtyard. A frenzied, violent torrent of energy surged wildly, creating a terrifying spectacle!

After swinging it around for a bit, Chen Cheng stopped, the smile on his face growing even wider!

’On its own, this Military Dao Combat Killing Hammer can unleash several times the power of the First Layer of Great Power Realm. Quantitatively, I’d put it at a value of at least five hundred, which is five times the Realm Power of a First Layer Realm.

If I then use it in conjunction with the First Layer of Great Power Realm, the power would reach a value of at least one thousand, comparable to a Second Layer Realm.

As for using it with my Second Layer Rising Dragon Realm...’

At this thought, Chen Cheng activated his Qi Blood Power and abruptly unleashed his Second Layer Rising Dragon Realm.

A dragon’s roar suddenly rang out!

Immediately, the Military Dao Combat Killing Hammer swelled to the size of a millstone, its surface erupting with Thunder Arcs that flashed and crackled nonstop.

A ferocious, violent aura of energy radiated an incomparably tyrannical pressure!

VMMMM!

Wind and thunder raged across the courtyard, and the very air trembled! The entire courtyard shook, seeming as if it could shatter at any moment!

The incomparably tyrannical aura of energy vanished in a flash.

’This Military Dao Combat Killing Hammer is indeed a perfect match for my Rising Dragon Realm.

If I were to fully activate my Qi Blood Power to use the Rising Dragon Realm in tandem with the Military Dao Combat Killing Hammer, I could unleash a power with a value of at least forty-five hundred.

In other words, the Military Dao Combat Killing Hammer provides a power boost of at least one thousand—equivalent to stacking on an entire Second Layer Realm.

It’s truly worthy of being called a Pseudo-Spiritual Artifact!

I can’t even imagine how powerful a true Spiritual Artifact would be.

Spiritual Artifacts are clearly extremely rare. Even a Sect Steward from a prominent family like Xiao Nianci doesn’t have one.

But while Xiao Nianci might not have one, I can’t say the same for the True Disciples of the Major Sects. Even if they don’t possess Spiritual Artifacts, they might still carry Pseudo-Spiritual Artifacts.

Take Su Qiluo and Su Nishang from the Sutra of Ultimate Sect. They dared to throw their weight around in Linji City with only the strength of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm.

Clearly, they weren’t just relying on their Sect’s influence. They were likely carrying Pseudo-Spiritual Artifacts, perhaps even a Spiritual Artifact.

If I run into a True Disciple from a Major Sect, I still can’t afford to be careless.’

Just then, Luo Tiezhu walked out of the Blacksmith Workshop. After his initial ecstasy and shock, his expression had now turned somewhat downcast.

"Elder Luo, are you still not satisfied with this Military Dao Combat Killing Hammer?" Chen Cheng asked, knowing the man was a perfectionist.
