King of Creation Chapter 2243 - 2228: The Next Wave of War (Supplementary Update)

Refining the Earth Element Thousand Image Seal is completely different from refining other Spiritual Artifact Suppression Artifact.

Refining other Spiritual Artifact Suppression Artifact requires strong Fire Spirit Power, but refining the Earth Element Thousand Image Seal requires abundant Earth Spirit Power and Earth Element Primordial Power.

After injecting sufficient Earth Spirit Power and Earth Element Primordial Power, a large mountain phantom suddenly appeared in front of Ye Zhen.

This was a mountain extending a hundred miles and towering three thousand miles high, appearing majestic and imposing.

At this moment, influenced by Ye Zhen’s Earth Element Primordial Power, the size of this Mountain Range Core began to slowly change under Ye Zhen’s control.

Meanwhile, following the secret technique for refining the Earth Element Thousand Image Seal, Ye Zhen activated the Four-colored Primordial Spirit Power, immersing into this mountain phantom, starting to inscribe various formation patterns in the mountain phantom using Earth Spirit Power.

There were Ruyi Formation Patterns that adjusted size, Hard Formation Patterns that increased hardness, Gravity Formation Patterns that increased weight, complex and abundant.

Ye Zhen initially glanced at them, and there were forty-nine different Blessing Formation Patterns.

Each formation pattern, according to the size of the mountain body, must at least inscribe over a hundred lines.

The numerous inscribed formation patterns were precisely the fundamental reason that allowed this Mountain Range Core to possess the complete weight of a mountain body.

Strictly speaking, it surpassed.

In Ye Zhen’s eyes, after these forty-nine patterns, totaling over four thousand nine hundred inscribed lines of formation patterns, the Mountain Range Core had already transformed into a massive hammer.

Still the kind that was light as nothing when lifted, but heavy as Mount Tai when struck.

Exceptionally powerful.

However, inscribing over four thousand nine hundred lines of formation patterns was also a strenuous task.

The strength of the Primordial Spirit determined the speed of inscribing formation patterns.

Even with Ye Zhen’s Four-colored Primordial Spirit, after proficiency, inscribing a single formation pattern took more than fifteen minutes, roughly twenty minutes.

Inscribing four thousand nine hundred lines of formation patterns continuously, even without sleep or rest, would take about two and a half months.

Under normal circumstances, if Artifact Refiners rest one day every ten days, completing the refinement of one Mountain Range Core would take three months.

Moreover, this was under Ye Zhen’s condition of possessing a powerful Four-colored Primordial Spirit.

If a Martial Artist with a Three-colored Primordial Spirit were to refine, the time consumed would be at least doubled, requiring six months to refine one Mountain Range Core.

Currently, Ye Zhen has two hundred Mountain Range Cores in his hands, and refining them all would take over a hundred years.

This is just the initial stage of refining the Earth Element Thousand Image Seal.

Therefore, Master Lud Li stated in the annotation, ’Cultivating this Earth Element Thousand Forms Technique requires perseverance. If persistence can be maintained, it can unleash infinite power, defeating thousands of techniques.’

To put it plainly, to cultivate this Earth Element Thousand Forms Technique, one must exercise diligence.

Hundreds of years of arduous cultivation for one technique and Divine Skills, this perseverance, Ye Zhen possesses, but he simply doesn’t have that much time to cultivate right now.

Fortunately, Ye Zhen has the Mirage Dragon Pearl’s Temporal Sequence Space.

The hundredfold Temporal Sequence Space can allow Ye Zhen to cultivate this technique at a hundredfold speed.

Ye Zhen, even if he spends only ten years, would be equivalent to others’ thousand years of diligent efforts.

Thus, only two days have passed in the outside world, while two hundred days have elapsed inside the Mirage Dragon Pearl, and Ye Zhen has successfully refined the first Mountain Range Core.

Originally, it would have taken two and a half months.

However, since this is Ye Zhen’s first Mountain Range Core refinement and serves as the foundation of the Earth Element Thousand Image Seal, Ye Zhen spent several months using Earth Spirit Power and Earth Element Primordial Power to purify and nurture, refining this first Mountain Range Core thoroughly into the form of the Earth Element Thousand Image Seal.

This Earth Element Thousand Image Seal, wholly yellowish-brown, has an octahedral shape with intersecting arc lines up, down, left, and right, dividing it into numerous small squares.

In each small square, several formation pattern lines are inscribed, appearing mysteriously normal.

Earth Spirit Power surged in, yellowish light flickered, suddenly halting.

Although it only sank a few inches, the downward movement made an explosive popping sound, visible in its power.

Consider this Earth Element Thousand Image Seal as complete.

Yet, the current Earth Element Thousand Image Seal in front of Ye Zhen is only in an initial form.

If used to strike others, it might have some effect below the Realm King Realm.

To exert its true power, it requires Ye Zhen’s continuous improvement and refinement.

The methods of improvement and refinement are also straightforward.

By refining Mountain Ranges, Earth Veins, or even Star Essence Cores with the secret technique of refining the Earth Element Thousand Image Seal, directly bypass the purification step, and use the secret method to fuse them into the newly formed Earth Element Thousand Image Seal.

The greater the amount of Mountain, Earth Vein, and Star Essence Cores infused, the greater the power.

If the infused quantity reaches a certain level, it can achieve the realm mentioned by Master Lud Li, ’crushing thousands of techniques with a single force.’

No matter the Divine Power Secret Technique or Heaven and Earth Laws, as long as the secret method of this Earth Element Thousand Image Seal is strong enough, it can crush thousands of techniques with a single force.

Next up is a Water Grinding Technique.

Ye Zhen needs to first operate the Earth Mountain Divine Ability Cultivation Secret Method, to extract and purify the Earth Element Primordial Power from Mountain and Earth Vein Essence Cores, and then refine and fuse the purified Mountain and Earth Vein Essence Cores into the Earth Element Thousand Image Seal.

Accumulate them one by one.

This is the true Water Grinding Technique.

At Ye Zhen’s speed, to fuse with two hundred Mountain Range Cores, plus cultivating the Earth Mountain Divine Ability, would take at least forty years.

Moreover, the fifty Earth Vein Essence Cores are even more time-consuming, with the time required to refine inscribe a single Earth Vein Essence Core being ten times that of a Mountain Range Core.

Fifty Earth Vein Essence Cores, even as Ye Zhen became increasingly proficient at refining and inscribing formation patterns, would still take nearly a hundred years for complete refinement and fusion.

This is truly a Water Grinding Technique!

...

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed, two and a half years passed by in the blink of an eye.

During these two and a half years, the millennium war launched by the Demon Clan on the Human Demon Battlefield went on fervently.

Though both sides suffered casualties, according to current intelligence, the Demon Clan seems to be continuously increasing troops.

This makes the Great Zhou extremely tense.

Currently, the scale of this millennium war seems larger than any previous millennium war.

The situation is tense, but the battle is not as tense as it appears on the surface.

The reason is simple.

At the start of this millennium war, fierce battles broke out between the armies of the Great Zhou and Demon Clan.

Both sides had victories and losses, and casualties.

In their painful realization, the Great Zhou has mostly repaired the vulnerabilities exposed due to the war on the defense line.

This has also slowed the Demon Clan’s offensive.

To put it plainly, both the Great Zhou and the Demon Clan have got a grasp of each other’s military deployment.

In each localized battlefield, both sides are evenly matched, neither can take advantage of the other.

In this situation, the battle has fallen into a standoff.

Of course, the war continues.

However, the scale has shrunk, and probing attacks have increased, with both sides retaining their strength during this one or two-year period.

But it does not mean the Human Demon Battlefield is safe.

No!

On the contrary, currently, the situation is arguably the most dangerous moment for the Human Demon Battlefield.

Both sides are looking for the opponent’s flaws.

Even starting to think of ways to create trouble for the opponent, create flaws, and then seize those flaws to launch a sudden strike!

Both armies and scouts have already stretched their nerves to the extreme.

Both sides are well aware that the next wave of war is about to erupt.

And once a war breaks out, it will be a bloodbath, possibly establishing a definite degree of advantage.

Extremely critical.

In comparison, Ye Zhen’s Blood River Fortress defense area is not large, and he doesn’t have many worries.

Throughout these two years, he has been in a standoff with the Second Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Zhui Ri.

After enduring successive defeats and a manpower disadvantage initially, the Second Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Zhui Ri, started to change his mindset.

Looking for opportunities to engage in a standoff, not rushing for immediate action.

He understands that the Blood River Fortress under Ye Zhen’s control cannot be resolved in a single battle.

Problems outside are simple, but inside the Blood River Fortress, the real trouble lies within!
