Peerless War God

But Chen Xiao did not do so, and took out the Red Cloud Sword.    

Since his previous life, this Red Cloud Sword had followed him and killed all the enemies in the world. Its sharpness was unrivalled, but now, for some reason, it had lost its artifact spirit, causing its rank to fall to the level of a treasure.    

Chen Xiao wanted to see if this smithing fluid could make the Red Cloud Sword's grade rise again. If the Red Cloud Sword could absorb this smithing fluid, being able to return to the spirit artifact level would be of no small help to Chen Xiao. The help it provided was far greater than what he could absorb.    

After all, the materials to refine and refine pills were easy to find. However, smithing fluid s that could raise the grade of a weapon were extremely rare.    

Without much hesitation, Chen Xiao immediately floated the Red Cloud Sword in the air, and with his other hand, he controlled the entire pond full of smithing fluid, and poured it into the Red Cloud Sword.    

Very quickly, under the baptism of the smithing fluid, the Red Cloud Sword's Profound Spirit Qi rose rapidly, and in an extremely short period of time, it broke through the level of the treasure and directly advanced towards the Spirit Treasure.    

"It really is useful!" Chen Xiao's face lit up. He directly placed the Red Cloud Sword into the smithing fluid pool and let it eat its fill.    

"Boom!" BOOM! "Boom!"    

Following the Red Cloud Sword's absorption, his sword also began to emit a blinding light, causing it to tremble uncontrollably.    

When the last hand sign was released, the Red Cloud Sword's light had already risen to the extreme.    

Suddenly, the Red Cloud Sword erupted with an incomparably terrifying devouring force, like a tiger that had been starved for countless days, and directly devoured half of the smithing fluid in the pool.    

Chen Xiao watched the scene from the side, not too shocked.    

He was familiar with the process of advancing his cultivation, so he was naturally adept at it.    

However, he still couldn't help but click his tongue, "What a big stomach king!"    

In the blink of an eye, half of the pond had been emptied. This kind of appetite was truly huge.    

After absorbing enough energy, the Red Cloud Sword's Qi increased again and again. In the blink of an eye, it had broken through the peak of the treasure and started to advance towards the Superior Grade Spirit Treasure level.    

Seeing this scene, Lu Yu licked his lips, his eyes burning with passion.    

As long as the Red Cloud Sword was successful in leveling up, the smithing fluid in this pool would not spend their resources in vain.    

"Boom!"    

At this moment, the outside of the mausoleum, the summit of the sky, had long since been covered in dense black clouds.    

A bolt of lightning as thick as an adult's arm directly struck down, piercing through the roof of the side chamber in an instant. Then, without slowing down, it fiercely landed on the Red Cloud Sword.    

"Pah!"    

As the lightning descended, the Red Cloud Sword vibrated non-stop. The spear had faint lightning arcs on it but had yet to dissipate, as it continuously circulated around.    

Chen Xiao watched the arrival of the thunder tribulation with ease, as expected.    

When Spiritual Beings advance, if their might is great, they will attract different degrees of images of the world and lightning tribulation. Only after enduring the baptism of lightning will Red Cloud Sword be able to advance successfully.    

"Boom!"    

The second lightning tribulation arrived as scheduled, and once again landed on the red cloud. The Red Cloud Sword's body turned from purple to blue, constantly changing.    

"This thunder punishment is not only used to suppress the laws of this world, but it also has the effect of refining impurities."    

"Only by going through the baptism of thunder punishment will one be able to fully step into the level of high-grade divine weapons." Chen Xiao said to himself.    

"Good luck, old buddy!" Chen Xiao looked at the Red Cloud Sword that had followed him for countless of years, and finally regained some of its strength, as a joyous expression surfaced on his face.    

There were a total of nine lightning strikes that could be considered as successful only if all nine of them were successfully leveled up. The power of the first three lightning strikes were not considered large, and it would at most be equivalent to one full powered strike from a Xingwu Zong.    

The power of the third to sixth streaks of lightning, on the other hand, doubled. It had at least reached the full offensive of 2-Star Martial Ancestor.    

However, although the power of the lightning was astonishing, it did not cause any real damage to the Red Cloud Sword. After all, the Red Cloud Sword was once a Divine Weapon level weapon, and even though its grade had fallen, the material it was made from was peerless. Naturally, this small lightning tribulation was not able to harm it.    

Chen Xiao silently watched as the bolts of lightning struck down one after another, and when the seventh bolt landed, Chen Xiao immediately moved, and dodged to the side.    

The power of this lightning tribulation was incomparably terrifying. The seventh bolt of lightning had already reached the full power of the 5-Star Martial Ancestor's attack. The current him didn't dare to be tainted by it in the slightest, otherwise he would be severely injured.    

"Boom!"    

Shortly after the seventh bolt of lightning landed, the eighth bolt of lightning also arrived as scheduled.    

In a flash of lightning, the Red Cloud Sword was still as new, and its color was getting brighter.    

Seeing the strength of the Red Cloud Sword, Lu Yu was a little impressed.    

"Old partner, you're still as sharp as ever!"    

The eighth lightning bolt was like the descent of a god. The sound of thunder crackling was extremely terrifying, but when this lightning bolt landed on the Red Cloud Sword's body, it did not even create a ripple, and it was quickly engulfed by the sword blade.    

As Chen Xiao watched from the side, the final bolt of lightning had already quietly descended.    

BOOM!    

The power of this bolt of lightning was evidently much stronger than all of the previous thunderbolts. Chen Xiao estimated that it was at least equivalent to the full power of Seven Stars Martial Sect.    

However, even such a terrifying bolt of lightning did not create much of a ripple when it landed on the Red Cloud Sword.    

"Done."    

After a long while, the thunder tribulation finally passed. The previously dark clouds became clear, and a ray of light shone through the destroyed roof towards the Red Cloud Sword, causing it to look extremely dazzling.    

"I've finally advanced to the level of a high grade spirit weapon." Chen Xiao was ecstatic, he waved his right hand and the Red Cloud Sword flew out.    

"What a powerful aura."    

Chen Xiao could clearly feel that after the Red Cloud Sword transformed, that enormous aura of divine weapons was also extremely joyous.    

The level of this godly weapon was indeed the first level of the Refinement Realm.    

The might of a Red Cloud Sword that had advanced to a high grade spirit artifact had already risen to an extremely shocking level.    

When Chen Xiao used this sword against an enemy, his spirit energy would increase by a few fold. With this sword in hand, he was completely confident that he would be able to defeat a Tristar Martial Ancestor Ranker with his current cultivation!    

"This time around, the harvest is truly bountiful!" Chen Xiao laughed, then kept the Red Cloud Sword that had successfully levelled up into his storage ring, and continued to search for another side hall.    

This was the Martial Saint Zhan Tian's mausoleum, so it was natural that there was more than one side hall. Very quickly, he followed the same method and found many treasures, which were all swept clean by him.    

After plundering all the side halls, he finally walked towards the main hall.    

There, gathered the people of the Alliance of Five!
