Chapter 45 Once Brilliant!

  It wasn't until dusk that Qin and Zheng found a secluded cave.

  This place is dozens of miles away from where Qin Zheng and Luo Yunping, Yun Bai met before, and in order to prevent being disturbed, the mountain cave chosen by Qin Zheng is a cliff with a height of 600 meters above the ground. Even if someone deliberately searches for it, it's hard to be found unless flying in the air.

  For this, Qin Zheng also took Yan Wu Tuo on a flying trip for the first time.

  Entering the mountain cave, Yan Tingyu couldn't wait to ask Qin Zheng for the Earth Shattering Mallet.

  Yan Tingyu, who had devoted his life to training in the art of war with the goal of becoming the greatest trainer on the continent of Shenwu, naturally had an unparalleled fondness for divine weapons.

  Enough to move her heart.

  Qin Zheng sat to the side, making some slight adjustments with his breath, using the power of Shenlian to regulate himself, and quickly recovered as before. This was his greatest advantage; under normal circumstances, he didn't need to consider so-called consumption.

  His whole body was once again filled with energy, Qin Zheng saw that Yan Tingyu was still examining the earth-shattering hammer back and forth, so he left first to go outside and catch some wild game.

  After returning, both of them worked together.

  After a busy period of time, Yan Tingyu was in charge of roasting game, and Qin Zheng took over the mallet and carefully examined it.

  "It's said that the Earth-Shattering Hammer is incredibly heavy, but it doesn't seem that heavy to me. If not for Yun Dongyang displaying its extraordinary power, I would have doubted whether this was really the Earth-Shattering Hammer." Qin Zheng held the small iron hammer, somewhat skeptical.

  "This is the Earth-Shattering Hammer!" Yan Tingyu gave a definite answer.

  Yan's understanding of the military situation would naturally not arouse Qin's suspicions.

  He raised the earth-shattering hammer.

  The hammer head was just slightly larger than an adult's fist, and the handle connected to the hammer head was about half a meter long. The entire body was pitch black, and it really didn't have the image of a divine weapon. Compared to the Earth-Shattering Hammer that Qin Zheng had heard of, it was like the difference between being sloppy and clean, with an extremely large contrast.

  "This can't be considered a complete earthquake." Yanzhi Yu explained.

  "What to say." Qin Zheng fiddled with the earth hammer, thinking about whether or not to smelt.

  The wild taste is almost gone.

  Swallow listened to the rain and tore off a piece of it, handing it to Qin Zheng, "Don't refine the earth hammer for now." She also tore off some herself, eating while saying: "Do you know the origin of the earth hammer?"

  "It seems to be a Shenzu artifact of an already extinct tribe of the demon clan." Qin Zheng put down the earth hammer, shook off his sleeves and started eating.

  "Uh, that tribe is called the Ground Demon Tribe. They were once one of the eight royal tribes of the demon world, but later declined and fell out of the royal tribe series, being replaced by other tribes. Later, when their population had sharply decreased to only a thousand or so, they offended the most ferocious of the eight great demon king tribes, the War Wolf Tribe. As a result, the Ground Demon Tribe was completely exterminated by the War Wolf Tribe. That war caused heavy losses for the War Wolf Tribe, and they almost fell from their position as one of the royal tribes because of that Ground Shattering Hammer." said Yan Lian Yu.

  Qin Zheng, with a mouthful of greasy food, suddenly turned his head towards the small black iron hammer.

  He was somewhat incredulous.

  As for the demon tribe, he didn't have many memories. As for the Warwolf King Tribe, it was all too clear that they had always been qualified to challenge the Demon Emperor's position.

  The demon tribe indeed has a strong presence with the nine major tribes, but their status is determined by their own strength. If another tribe is powerful enough, they can defeat them and take their place. Since the birth of the Demon Emperor Zhong, who pacified the internal strife within the demon tribe, the Demon Emperor's tribe has always occupied the top position among the royal tribes. However, even with the Demon Emperor's presence, the Warwolf King Tribe still has the qualifications to challenge their status, which goes to show just how terrifying the Warwolf King Tribe is.

  Yan listened to the rain and continued: "The contemporary war wolf Wang tribe is known as the second strongest in history, once again having the qualification to challenge the demon emperor tribe. The so-called strongest in history refers to the time when the earth demon tribe was exterminated."

  "At that time, the Di Yao tribe was indeed a fallen royal family, but it was also a former royal family with a strong foundation. The fact that the War Wolf tribe dared to exterminate them shows how incredibly powerful they were." Qin Zheng had already stopped eating and washed the oil stains off his hands, picking up the Earth-Shattering Hammer once again.

  The name is earth-shattering, and it also has a bit of an overbearing meaning.

  Swallow listened to the rain, slowly savoring and swallowing, continuing to introduce the Earth-Shattering Hammer. "That battle was brutal, and only one person from the Earth Demon tribe escaped with their life, which was the tribe's leader. He found a grandmaster of Refining Soldiers who wanted to repair the damaged Earth-Shattering Hammer. This grandmaster recorded everything about the Earth-Shattering Hammer, and that record is in the Swallow family. I've read it before."

  According to the Earth Demon tribe's patriarch, the Ground-Shaking Hammer was originally the most powerful among human-grade divine weapons, with astonishing might. Later, due to this battle, it underwent a strange transformation and advanced to become an earth-grade divine weapon, almost becoming a heavenly-grade divine weapon. It helped him fight alone against the top ten same-level experts after his arm was severely injured, killing three people and breaking through the encirclement. During that time, even the War Wolf King tribe's expert went crazy with ancestral bloodline returning, using countless divine forbidden techniques to intercept and kill him, but he relied on the Ground-Shaking Hammer to get through it all. Therefore, the Ground-Shaking Hammer was once evaluated by a limited number of people from the War Wolf King tribe who knew the inside story as one of the strongest divine weapon artifacts at that time. It is said that the Ground-Shaking Hammer not only advanced to become an earth-grade divine weapon but also became a top-notch among earth-grade divine weapons. As for heavenly-grade divine weapons, it's said they were all taken into the divine realm, and the remaining ones probably wouldn't exceed the number of fingers on one hand, with each appearing in the world only once every ten thousand years, so they are not included in the evaluation.

  "This was the most glorious moment of the Earth-Shattering Hammer, but it was also the beginning of its downfall. After this battle, the Earth-Shattering Hammer suddenly began to deteriorate on its own, and the tribal chief of the Earth Demon tribe could only find the Grandmaster who had used it to repair it back then, but that person was unable to do so. The tribal chief, faced with the extinction of his tribe and having lost an arm, resolutely took the deteriorating Earth-Shattering Hammer and launched a surprise attack, dying together with the Wolf King's current Demon King. And thus, the Earth-Shattering Hammer suffered another severe blow from the Wolf King's divine artifact, never again living up to its reputation as a mighty divine weapon."

  "Later, the Earth-Shattering Hammer changed hands several times and was repaired by generations of great masters, but it was never completed. During this time, my family had two people from different generations who encountered it and also tried to repair it. Just now when I checked, I found that the Earth-Shattering Hammer is only one step away from being fully restored."

  Qin Zheng stroked the small iron hammer, his heart racing with excitement.

  This is even more amazing now, although it's a bit less perfect than the original.

  "I can perfect this last bit." Yan Tingyu put down what he was eating and said confidently.

  "Really?!"

  Qin Zheng suddenly lifted his head, his eyes bursting with light

  Have to say, this is somewhat unexpected.

  In Qin Zheng's view, Yan Tingyu's combat skills were very strong, but they were still far from being perfect.

  If it's truly perfected, then this Earthly Shattering Hammer will be the closest thing to a Heavenly Divine Weapon among all Earthly Divine Weapons!

  "To be specific, it's something that we two can accomplish together." Yan heard the rain and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Don't forget, your blood!"

  "I told you." Qin Zheng thought of his own blood and smiled too.

  His blood can enhance the power of weapons, right?

  Moreover, the spatial belt was constantly washing and refining his blood vessels at all times, and he had even obtained a drop of Nine Deaths Nirvana Blood to stimulate him, and had already reached an extremely astonishing level.

  "If it weren't for this point, I wouldn't want you to be so stubborn," said Yanyu.

  "Do you think I am unable to unleash its power?" Qin Zheng immediately thought of the reason.

  Yan listened to the rain, nodding her head, "From the Earth-Shattering Hammer's several changes of hands, I've come to a realization. No matter what kind of special martial arts or peerless genius you are, as long as you're not from the Earth Demon Tribe, the Earth-Shattering Hammer in your hand is just an ordinary weapon at best. Nobody can bring out its attacking power; at most, they can collect the blood of an Earth Demon Tribe member and infuse it into the hammer to bring out a tiny bit of its power. Anything else is impossible."

  Qin Zheng hesitated for a moment, "In that case, isn't it even more proof that Heng Di Chui is extraordinary?"

  "It's indeed the case, but unfortunately no one can exert its power. What can be done?" Yanzhi Yu said, "In my judgment, a drop of your blood should be able to exert the mighty power of the Earth-Shattering Hammer, although it's just a tiny bit, the power is still considerable."

  The full force of the earthquake hammer is apparently strong enough to explode.

  Even if only a little bit of its power is unleashed, it will be extremely surprising to help Qin's politics, and if the great realm is missed, it will miss an opportunity to refine the weapon, which would be a waste. Moreover, it's hard to say that when the bloodline is fully activated, can't the full power of the Earth-Shattering Hammer be unleashed?

  So as long as it is smelted, it may be possible to exert its full power afterwards.

  "What should I do then." Qin Zheng was very much looking forward to it.

  "What you need to do is kill a giant armored elephant, I need the bones of the giant armored elephant to trigger the power hidden in my alchemy furnace." Before Yan Xiangyu refined her weapons, the one who truly activated this family's alchemy furnace was Qin Zheng's Guardian Shield, which was also triggered by the bones of the giant armored elephant she had purchased.

  The furnace she used to refine the soldier was given by the old ancestor of the Yan family before his death when the Yan family was destroyed. It is not considered one of the best furnaces in the Yan family at that time, but it is also ranked among the top three, with endless wonders.

  "I'll go find the Yaojia Giant Elephant right now." Qin Zheng excitedly got up and was about to head out.

  "Don't worry, the Earth-Shattering Hammer is a divine artifact of the earth level, it has spirituality. You can sleep with it tonight and talk to it like a friend, sharing your experiences, see if you can enter the Earth-Shattering Hammer and see the information recorded by its past masters. If you can do that, you'll have a chance to fully unleash its power. Otherwise, you can only rely on your blood to barely bring out a hint of its power." Yanyu said.

  Qin Zheng had heard from Yan Yu before that all land-level divine weapons and above have spiritual nature, can record the information of successive masters, if they can be recognized, they can obtain this information, so that people can increase countless experiences, knowledge, and some secrets. It can be said that a divine weapon is capable of changing a person's life.

  He simply took off his upper garment, revealing a robust chest, and fell asleep with a sledgehammer in his arms.

  Under the moonlight, Yan Lianyu saw Qin Zheng's upper body and her pretty face turned slightly red. She didn't want to look but couldn't help sneaking a peek.

  "Alright, if you want to sneak a peek, just do it. If you can't help but be sneaky, then so be it. You can take off your clothes too and let me see. That way we'll be even." Qin Zheng said with a smirk.

  "Qin lacks virtue!" Yan Tingyu spat and turned around, turning her back on him.

  Qin Zheng chuckled a few times, hugging the earth hammer tightly, and softly told it about his experiences, hoping to gain something.
