Chapter 134: Stardream Graceful Dance, Giving All for the Mundane World
That day, under Chu Yang's strong request, all the rare metals stored in the treasury were absorbed by the Nine Calamity Sword, with the remaining essence being collected into the Nine Calamity Sword itself.
At this moment, it was all released in one go.
These were the raw materials for crafting divine weapons; how could they be wasted? Rather than leaving them to rust in the palace, it was better to give them to me...
After letting the Nine Calamity Sword absorb the rest, Chu Yang only kept two pieces: one Star Iron and one Crimson Cloud Steel. Naturally, the Nine Calamity Sword would not hold back; the iron essence and steel essence had already been devoured, leaving only the essence of Star Iron and Crimson Cloud Steel.
Star Iron is indestructible, and if mixed into a blade, not only does it make the weapon unbreakable, but when vital energy is infused into the weapon during battle, it can emit a starlight-like glow, making the entire weapon appear to shine. This makes it difficult for opponents to predict the weapon's trajectory.
On the other hand, Crimson Cloud Steel is incredibly fortuitous! Chu Yang never expected to find such a treasure in the Iron Cloud royal treasury!
One could say that among all the treasures in the Iron Cloud treasury, the Crimson Cloud Steel was the most valuable; everything else combined didn't even compare to its worth in Chu Yang's eyes!
When he first discovered the completely red iron block, Chu Yang nearly mistook it. Upon confirming, he was almost jumping for joy.
Crimson Cloud Steel, as its name suggests, is entirely bright red; its greatest feature is that although it is extraordinarily hard and dense, it has almost no weight!
This is a most peculiar metal that defies the laws of nature!
Even a piece of Crimson Cloud Steel the size of a house would weigh no more than cotton of the same volume. This strange property drives martial artists wild with desire!
Typically, weapons have weight; the more powerful the weapon, the denser it is, and the heavier it is, which in turn places greater demands on the user.
And it consumes stamina!
However, the greatest benefit of Crimson Cloud Steel is that it doesn’t consume the user’s stamina at all; with just the strength of a baby, one can wield the weapon to slay enemies! Moreover, it is unbreakable and incredibly sharp!
But Crimson Cloud Steel has always existed only in legend; Chu Yang had never seen any weapon mixed with it!
Yet here it was, in the Iron Cloud Palace, a piece as large as half a table! Chu Yang was almost fainting from excitement!
Chu Yang understood why the Iron Cloud royal family would keep such a peculiar metal without utilizing it: It simply cannot be cut! Whether placed in a furnace or hammered with a heavy hammer, it won’t lose a single bit! The Iron Cloud royal family must have been quite frustrated, knowing it was a treasure but unable to utilize it…
Such Crimson Cloud Steel can only be slowly melted by a martial artist of imperial level using their true essence firepower; they could barely manage to cut off a bit. The reason for this is that the firepower of an imperial level martial artist can never fully melt a whole piece of Crimson Cloud Steel; dozens or even hundreds of times of forging and melting are needed to gather enough for a single weapon! To fully melt it, one must reach saint level...
But Chu Yang had no such concerns. He was the master of the Nine Calamity Sword, and the Nine Calamity Sword... not to mention cutting it, it could devour it...
Therefore, the hardness of this Crimson Cloud Steel to the Nine Calamity Sword was like comparing it to cotton!
Such a rare treasure naturally contained an abundance of steel essence; after the Nine Calamity Sword devoured most of it, only a round piece the size of a human head was left, and Chu Yang was almost heartbroken!
However, a piece the size of a human head was enough to craft a weapon. Plus, there would still be some leftovers.
