Divine War Pill Emperor

"If you can't do it, just admit defeat."

Elder Qiu said.

Jiang Chen's face was devoid of expression, as if he hadn't heard Elder Qiu's words.

Seeing that Jiang Chen was completely ignoring him, Elder Qiu grew angry and sneered again, "Still acting so arrogant when death is imminent."

"Let's see what you do next."

Only Elder Han spoke to Jiang Chen with a grave tone, "Kid, you're facing a great challenge this time. If the grade of the Dharma Artifact you refine isn't as high as the grade of the Magical Treasure Zuo Siming refined, you'll lose."

"So, you must treat this with caution. Don't be careless—your life is on the line."

Since he wasn't fond of Zuo Siming, Elder Han kindly reminded Jiang Chen, even taking on the posture of a senior guiding him.

Jiang Chen nodded silently.

'Elder Han's attitude is pretty decent.'

Meanwhile, Zuo Siming let out a soft chuckle and said arrogantly, "Jiang Chen, just give up."

"The Dharma Artifact I refined has reached its absolute peak. You can't possibly surpass me."

Jiang Chen looked at Zuo Siming.

He said coolly, "You're celebrating a bit too early."

"Wait until I've refined my Magical Treasure before you run your mouth."

Zuo Siming burst out laughing.

He pointed at the Iron Ore on the stage and said, "Fine. If you're so confident, then go ahead and start."

"Those are the materials I prepared for you."

But Jiang Chen didn't even glance at the materials Zuo Siming had prepared. Instead, with a wave of his hand...

...a set of Artifact Refining Materials suddenly appeared in his grasp.

Zuo Siming was stunned.

He stared at the materials in Jiang Chen's hand.

Then he suddenly exclaimed, "You... you... why did you take out Water Spirit Wood?"

"What... what are you trying to do?"

Zuo Siming recognized the material Jiang Chen had produced.

At that moment, he nearly bit his own tongue off.

He asked, horrified, "Don't tell me you're trying to refine a Treasure Artifact?"

"Are you kidding me?"

A Treasure Artifact. Jiang Chen wasn't using Iron Ore, but Water Spirit Wood. Water Spirit Wood was already a material that possessed spiritual properties.

This kind of material was mostly used for refining Treasure Artifacts.

Using it to refine a Dharma Artifact would naturally be a bit of a waste.

Elder Qiu and Elder Han both stared at Jiang Chen with wide, disbelieving eyes.

Elder Qiu suddenly said urgently, "Kid, you... you're trying to refine a Treasure Artifact?"

"Or are you using Water Spirit Wood to refine a Dharma Artifact?"

Of course, Water Spirit Wood could be used to refine a Dharma Artifact, but it was extremely wasteful. Few people were willing to do so.

Refining a Treasure Artifact was the best use for it.

That was why they were all so astonished when Jiang Chen took out the Water Spirit Wood.

Because at this moment, they weren't sure if Jiang Chen was actually going to refine a Treasure Artifact.

A Treasure Artifact was a Magical Treasure a level above a Dharma Artifact.

Its power was naturally far greater.

But Jiang Chen just said calmly, "It doesn't matter what I refine. Just watch and see the result."

In truth, Jiang Chen really was going to refine a Treasure Artifact this time.

He had been honing his Thousand-Hammered Refining Skill for a long time, and now, he was finally ready to refine a Treasure Artifact.

And this would be his first time refining one.

Although he was confident he could surpass Zuo Siming even by refining a Dharma Artifact, if he created a Treasure Artifact, his victory would be absolute and without suspense.

This would also prevent the people from the Artifact Refiner Guild from cheating.

He really didn't trust the people from the Artifact Refiner Guild.

"Good kid. I'd like to see what kind of tricks you have up your sleeve today."

Elder Qiu took a deep breath, absolutely refusing to believe that Jiang Chen could refine a Treasure Artifact.

If Jiang Chen really tried to refine a Treasure Artifact, he would definitely fail.

After all, Jiang Chen had only just been certified as a One-Star Supreme Refiner. To refine a Treasure Artifact, one needed to be at least a Two-Star Refiner.

The gap between a One-Star Refiner and a Two-Star Refiner was enormous.

Normally, a One-Star Supreme Refiner would need to train for eight to ten years before they could possibly become a Two-Star Lower-Grade Refiner.

Moreover, Jiang Chen had only been a One-Star Supreme Refiner for a single day.

It was impossible to hone one's Artifact Refining Technique in such a short amount of time.

Therefore, he firmly believed that it was impossible for Jiang Chen to be refining a Treasure Artifact.

Elder Han shook his head slightly.

He sighed again but said nothing.

Zuo Siming, after being stunned for a good while, suddenly snapped out of it and said disdainfully, "Using Water Spirit Wood to refine a Dharma Artifact. Only you could come up with such a wasteful idea."

"But even so, you still can't surpass me."

When Jiang Chen had first taken out the Water Spirit Wood, he thought Jiang Chen was going to refine a Treasure Artifact, but the more he thought about it, the more absurd it seemed.

Jiang Chen had only just become a One-Star Supreme Refiner; there was absolutely no way he could refine a Treasure Artifact.

At that, he completely dismissed Jiang Chen's actions.

Jiang Chen had already started refining his Magical Treasure, ignoring everyone else.

Below the stage, Xiaotian was sweating bullets for Jiang Chen.

Even he could feel the pressure.

Meanwhile, Han Yinghua frowned slightly.

'What is he trying to do?'

'Is he really going to refine a Treasure Artifact?'

Then, Han Yinghua also shook her head.

'Impossible. He just became a One-Star Supreme Refiner.'

'But using Water Spirit Wood to refine a Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifact is a decent strategy. It might be possible to use the wood to create a Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifact that surpasses Zuo Siming's.'

On the stage, Jiang Chen began to refine his Magical Treasure with the Water Spirit Wood.

He was using the Thousand-Hammered Refining Skill.

At this moment, everyone from the Artifact Refiner Guild, the Zuo Family, and even the Han Family was staring intently at Jiang Chen.

They watched his refining technique.

One after another, they admitted they couldn't understand it.

"What is that kid doing? It looks like a demon's chaotic dance."

"I really can't make sense of it. His Artifact Refining Technique is probably nothing special."

"Alright, let's just wait for the result."

On the stage, Elder Qiu said to Elder Han, "Elder Han, can you understand his Artifact Refining Technique?"

Elder Han shook his head. "It's a bit chaotic and disorganized."

Elder Qiu sneered.

"I told you this kid was bound to lose. I'm afraid today will be the last day of his life."

Jiang Chen refined the Magical Treasure, proceeding from smelting to forming the base, then forging. By now, it had taken shape.

He was refining a sword.

A wooden sword made from Water Spirit Wood.

But even as it reached the final stage of formation, the sword showed no significant changes.

Everyone felt that Jiang Chen's Artifact Refining Technique was mediocre, so there was no one who held out any hope for him.

"It hasn't even been awakened."

"Forget a Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifact; the Magical Treasure he's refining isn't even a Top-Grade Dharma Artifact."

At the very least, a Top-Grade Dharma Artifact would undergo an awakening, but the Dharma Artifact Jiang Chen was refining showed no signs of one at all.

Elder Qiu shook his head. "This kid... I have no idea how he became a Supreme Refiner."

"Was there a mistake during his certification? He can't even refine a Top-Grade Dharma Artifact."

He was already fully prepared to watch the scene of Jiang Chen committing suicide on stage.

Zuo Siming was laughing inwardly.

He was completely certain of his victory.

However, at the very moment Jiang Chen finished the refining...

Suddenly, the sword he had refined began to vibrate slightly. Not only that, but the very Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi itself began to stir abnormally.

"BZZZZZ..."

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi had suddenly fallen into chaos.
