Every metal contains unique internal patterns. Continuing to hammer the metal without damaging these patterns allows for a special resonance between Quan Yi and the metal.
In this state, Quan Yi can feel the metal's breath and emotions.
Each strike of his hammer releases a feeling of satisfaction from the metal, and as this feeling accumulates and reaches a critical point, the entire metal will sublimate.
At this stage, the metal is no longer an inanimate object.
It will be endowed with a faint spirituality.
During this process, the forger will develop a special connection with the metal.
Quan Yi's goal is to use forging to create this special connection with the Ultimate Gold.
Only in this way can Quan Yi safely pass through the Ultimate Gold, reconstruct the connection with the origin of his martial soul, and ultimately achieve the reforging of his martial soul.
Rapid hammering followed in quick succession, with the combo accumulating to fifty-four strikes.
If he hadn't opened up eight hidden meridians, greatly enhancing his recovery ability, Quan Yi wouldn't have dared to use this move so liberally.
However, the Ultimate Gold lives up to its name; fifty-four consecutive strikes only caused the dark gold sphere to contract slightly.
Fortunately, after fifty-four strikes, Quan Yi's consciousness gradually sank into the interior of the Ultimate Gold, and he felt an extremely faint emotion.
It was an emotion of comfort.
Finally, Quan Yi felt that he had established that weak connection with the Ultimate Gold.
Overjoyed, Quan Yi decided to strike while the iron was hot and continue to strengthen his connection with the Ultimate Gold.
When the number of consecutive strikes reached seventy, the change in the Ultimate Gold's volume finally became visible to the naked eye.
The thumb-sized sphere, by volume, had shrunk by about ten percent, and Quan Yi had also developed a certain compatibility with the Ultimate Gold.
However, with seventy-two consecutive strikes fast approaching, the Ultimate Gold had not accumulated enough comfort, and this level alone was not enough to support its sublimation.
"Since seventy-two consecutive strikes aren't enough, then I'll continue to stack them!"
The key to the consecutive strike technique lies in stacking. Although Quan Yi had never unleashed more than seventy-two strikes before, it was because the strength of all previous metals had not required Quan Yi to use more power.
The red hammer, fused with spiritual power, allows for more precise control and the ability to detect the force of rebound, making it much more reliable than using fists to perform the consecutive strike technique.
"Clang!"
Seventy-two consecutive strikes landed on the Ultimate Gold.
The extreme vibration caused even the Crimson Dragon Horn to tremble slightly.
As Quan Yi expected, the Ultimate Gold did not sublimate.
However, Quan Yi's consecutive strikes did not stop. Quan Yi gritted his teeth, and the red hammer, carrying the force of accumulation, struck the Ultimate Gold even faster.
At this point, the speed of the red hammer suddenly increased.
Nine hammer shadows transformed into nine red rays of light, falling on the nine faces of the dark gold sphere at the same time.
Instantly, nine circular ripples appeared on the surface of the dark gold sphere. The forces of vibration collided and superimposed on each other, creating mysterious and complex ripples.
However, amidst these complex changes, the Ultimate Gold conveyed unprecedented pleasure and burst forth with the brilliant golden light contained within.
At the same moment, the terrifying power accumulated from ninety-nine eighty-one strikes shattered the red 'Gang' hammer, which instantly transformed into a thick blood mist, staining the shimmering golden dark gold.
Outside, the dragon scales on Quan Yi's body, like the dark gold sphere, displayed complex ripples.
The force of vibration within the Crimson Dragon Horn spread throughout his body along with the external soul bone. In an instant, thick blood mist spurted out from between all the dragon scale gaps.
Even though the force of vibration did not directly act on the body, the power of eighty-one superimposed strikes was not so simple.
Quan Yi's body, like the dark gold sphere, endured the vibration of the hammer strikes throughout the entire process.
This actually exposed all of Quan Yi's weaknesses to the omnipresent vibration.
Especially the final nine hammer strikes, which caused all of Quan Yi's internal fragile parts to collapse.
Inside the helmet, Quan Yi even spat out pungent blood. His face turned pale due to the loss of blood, but Quan Yi's face was filled with a brilliant smile despite being so severely injured.
Because he felt a special connection of flesh and blood from the Ultimate Gold.
Inside the Crimson Dragon Horn, the Ultimate Gold was flowing happily in the fire space.
Like the Ultimate Yang Dragon Riding Spear, the Ultimate Gold also gave birth to intelligence.
Quan Yi carefully extended a tentacle condensed from spiritual power.
The Ultimate Gold seemed to sense Quan Yi's approach.
Facing Quan Yi's spiritual tentacles, not only did it not show any resistance, but it also revealed a happy emotion and rushed towards Quan Yi cheerfully.
When Quan Yi's spiritual power came into contact with the Ultimate Gold, the two merged together perfectly, like water and milk.
At this moment, Quan Yi's consciousness entered a pure dark gold world.
This space was filled with endless sharp aura.
"Is this the Ultimate Gold?"
Quan Yi knew that he had entered the interior of the Ultimate Gold. Under his spiritual exploration, countless tiny sharp gold elements jointly constructed an entire world.
Each of these tiny gold elements was the Ultimate Gold capable of cutting the Crimson Dragon Skyfire Armor, but facing Quan Yi's arrival, they automatically restrained their sharpness, fearing to hurt Quan Yi.
At the same time, Quan Yi felt the aura of the Fiery Sun Gauntlets from this space.
It was at this moment that the space originally storing the martial soul suddenly began to vibrate.
The martial soul origin hidden inside the Ultimate Gold established a deeper connection with Quan Yi's body.
And the wisp of spirituality inside the Ultimate Gold also emitted a joyful emotion, as if it couldn't wait any longer.
Faced with this situation, Quan Yi certainly wouldn't stop it.
With Quan Yi's permission, the Ultimate Gold instantly disappeared from the Crimson Dragon Horn.
The next moment, the Ultimate Gold suddenly appeared in the storage space that should have been storing the Fiery Sun Gauntlets.
As the martial soul origin returned to its original position, everything returned to normal.
The Ultimate Gold that appeared in the martial soul space completely lost the suppression of the Crimson Dragon Horn.
However, it suppressed its sharp aura on its own. However, to Quan Yi's surprise, it was now flowing in the martial soul space in the form of a dragon.
However, things had not completely settled yet.
The calm martial soul space suddenly erupted with a powerful suction force, frantically absorbing Quan Yi's soul power.
Countless fire-attribute soul power poured into the martial soul space, and the waiting dark gold dragon opened its small mouth and directly sucked the fire-attribute soul power into its body.
As the fire-attribute soul power was absorbed, the martial soul origin inside the dark gold dragon began to grow rapidly, and a tiny but tough flame suddenly emerged from the dragon's body.
The aura emitted by this flame was so conspicuous in the world of Ultimate Gold.
At the same time, the burning sensation coming from the Crimson Dragon Horn gradually subsided.
Fire Immunity, Ultimate Fire, has returned.
