Meng Gaoshi and Ye Chenfeng demonstrated their artifact refining skills using the Heavenly Fire Refining Technique. Though Meng Gaoshi was only a trace of consciousness, his Heaven and Earth Flame was potent. Ye Chenfeng, possessing the five-colored Green Flame, surpassed Meng Gaoshi in finesse, even enhancing the White Meteorite Iron. Meng Gaoshi then challenged Zhong Tianxiang, Pang Deming, and Jiang Huaning to match Ye Chenfeng. The trio combined their elemental abilities, but Ye Chenfeng, utilizing his legacy and an Ice Snow Lotus, performed multiple techniques simultaneously with superior control, ultimately out-forging them.

In terms of impurity removal and forging.

Ye Chenfeng gained some advantages overall, as creating a weapon relies on an overall state.

Now the five supreme masters have fallen behind in the first two stages, and their only chance to turn the tables in the final spirit array diagram stage is if their diagrams are far superior to those crafted by Ye Chenfeng. Only then might their refined artifact surpass Ye Chenfeng’s in power.

Tong Chengwen, eager to try from the start, directly picked up the forged white longsword and looked at Ye Chenfeng, saying, "Since all the crafting techniques you’ve demonstrated were acquired from the inheritance, let’s compete all the way! We’ll standardize the spirit array diagrams engraved on the sword body."

Tong Chengwen waved his arm, and a complex pattern instantly appeared in the air. This was the spirit array diagram to be engraved in the sword body. Since they were only refining artifacts, the spirit array diagram for this weapon posed no difficulty for them.

Ye Chenfeng and Tong Chengwen began engraving simultaneously, both crafting meticulously and earnestly. Even a slight deviation in the engraving could result in a significant difference in the weapon’s final power.

Zhong Tianxiang and Meng Gaoshi focused their gaze entirely on Ye Chenfeng, relying solely on the outcome, hoping Tong Chengwen could match Ye Chenfeng.

As time passed, second by second.

Tong Chengwen exhaled a breath, stopping his actions; he had completed the engraving of the spirit array diagram.

Ye Chenfeng’s movements also halted immediately after, following completion of his spirit array diagram.

Neither infused spiritual energy, as only by doing so could the spirit array diagram be activated.

Tong Chengwen lifted his right foot, stomping fiercely on the ground.

Suddenly, a massive stone pillar arose from the earth, and Tong Chengwen said to Ye Chenfeng, "Let’s test the power of each other’s artifacts!"

As soon as his words landed.

Tong Chengwen promptly infused spiritual energy into the white longsword in his hand.

Upon infusion, the spirit array diagram engraved within the sword body was immediately activated, revealing the aura of a high-grade artifact. The artifact Tong Chengwen refined did not surpass the category of an artifact.

He injected a certain amount of spiritual energy and swung towards the massive stone pillar.

A fierce sword Qi immediately streaked out from the sword body.

"Bang!" As the fierce sword Qi struck the stone pillar, it only left a shallow sword mark.

Upon witnessing this, Tong Chengwen nodded with some satisfaction.

Beside, Meng Gaoshi explained to Ye Chenfeng, "Kid, this stone pillar’s material is unusual; even if you inject as much spiritual energy into your weapon as Old Tong did, a regular immortal artifact would leave only a shallow mark, while an artifact wouldn’t leave any mark at all."

"In other words, the artifact we jointly refined, though merely high-grade, its power is enough to rival ordinary immortal artifacts."

It seems Tong Chengwen performed exceptionally well in the final spirit array diagram stage.

Ye Chenfeng handed his refined artifact longsword to Tong Chengwen, saying, "Senior Tong, you test it! I’m unsure how much spiritual energy should be infused into it."

Upon hearing this.

Tong Chengwen accepted Ye Chenfeng’s refined artifact longsword, and upon injecting the same amount of spiritual energy, he sensed everything within the sword body, a continuous bitter smile in his heart; Ye Chenfeng’s engraved spirit array diagram was indeed more meticulous than his.

The white longsword Ye Chenfeng crafted also falls within the category of high-grade artifacts.

Tong Chengwen waved his arm, and another fierce sword Qi streaked out from the white longsword Ye Chenfeng crafted.

"Bang!"

The fierce sword Qi struck the stone pillar, leaving a deep sword mark several times deeper than before.

Beside, Meng Gaoshi and others thought they might reclaim some distance, and upon seeing this result, they remained silent.

If the artifact the five supreme masters crafted reached the power of an ordinary immortal artifact, a low-grade one, Ye Chenfeng’s crafted artifact’s power could undoubtedly rival a medium-grade immortal artifact.

In this competition, the five supreme masters were utterly defeated.

This was their last artifact refining contest, concluding this way without the slightest displeasure on their faces.

Moments later, the five elderly figures all burst into laughter, saying in unison, "No regrets in this lifetime, no regrets!"

Zhong Tianxiang looked at Ye Chenfeng, smiling and said, "Kid, you haven’t yet combined our five inheritances. If you manage to integrate our five inheritances and add your own understanding, I believe you can refine an astounding immortal artifact."

Pang Deming said, "I never expected to experience defeat again, but I’m happy to lose this time!"

Meng Gaoshi flipped his palm, a red Heaven and Earth Flame emerging from within: "Kid, let me fulfill you one last time, let your Heaven and Earth Flame devour mine! I’m disintegrating soon, and if my remnants disperse, this Heaven and Earth Flame will vanish."

Simultaneously.

Zhong Tianxiang, Pang Deming, Jiang Huaning, and Tong Chengwen all flipped their palms, a Heaven and Earth Flame emerging from each. As artifact refiners, they naturally owned Heaven and Earth Flames, and their flames’ temperature all exceeded Green Flame.

If Green Flame can devour these Heaven and Earth Flames, its temperature will undoubtedly soar.

Ye Chenfeng didn’t hesitate, allowing Green Flame to devour the five supreme masters’ Heaven and Earth Flames.

With the suppression of the five supreme masters, their Heaven and Earth Flames were obediently devoured by Green Flame, without any resistance, easing many troubles for Ye Chenfeng.

As the devouring continued.

Green Flame’s temperature was continuously rising, initially only at the Early Divine Venerate Realm.

As the devouring persisted, Green Flame’s temperature advanced to Mid Divine Honor Realm, Late Stage of Divine Venerable Realm...

It climbed unwaveringly.

After consuming the five supreme masters’ five powerful Heaven and Earth Flames, Green Flame’s temperature surprisingly reached the Mid Divine Emperor Realm.

Additionally, it successfully advanced from a five-colored flame to a six-colored flame.

It can be said that this devouring, with the help of the five supreme masters, proceeded very smoothly with no disturbances.
