Within the Jiang Lan Realm, Qin Hao devoted all his efforts to artifact refining, completely immersing himself in the state of creation. The aura around him gradually became ethereal, as if his entire being resonated with the array, completely absorbed within it.
During the refining process, Qin Hao constantly altered the array's direction, continuously manipulating its power, and creating new transformations. The traces of human arrangement within the entire array gradually vanished, slowly giving way to a natural, seamless feel.
All the materials at the center of the array had undergone fundamental changes after being refined by the array and laws. Under the blessing of laws and the array, each material was repeatedly refined, gradually revealing its deepest characteristics, continuously transforming into its most primitive state.
Compared to the dozens of previous refinements, this one was slower, each step more meticulous, and the refining techniques more perfected.
Through dozens of refinements, Qin Hao had gained stronger control over each technique, and the abilities he displayed were more refined and powerful.
After ten thousand years, Qin Hao finally completed the processing of all materials and began the formal refining process. Under Qin Hao's and the array's manipulation, all the materials gradually evolved into a massive array.
All the materials were arranged by Qin Hao in five directions, with each direction concentrating materials of specific attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. In addition to these five, there were also time and space attribute materials in the upper and lower directions.
"Begin!" Qin Hao exclaimed, as if his words commanded the very laws of nature, and all the materials transformed into streams of light, beginning to move.
At every moment, each material was precisely integrated into the central furnace. Every minute, changes occurred within the furnace.
Laws were changing, space-time was changing, and it even felt as if the world itself was changing. The difficulty of refining a Supreme Treasure was far greater than creating a world or a divine kingdom.
The birth of a world or the creation of a divine kingdom was, to a certain extent, completed under the guidance of laws. However, now, this entire process was completed under Qin Hao's control.
The control of every detail affected the ultimate success of the artifact refining. At this moment, Qin Hao was like the most precise machine, calculating and deducing every process, every instantaneous change.
At the center of the furnace, as the refining progressed and more materials were integrated, waves of power from the surroundings began to continuously strike the central ball of light.
The ball of light had already taken shape, an armor appearing in the center of the furnace. However, at this point, the refining had only just begun. The formation of the armor's shape was merely the embryo.
Upon the embryo, Qin Hao continuously controlled the surrounding materials to integrate into it, forming intricate patterns and a complex array.
The existence of these arrays not only increased the armor's power but also continuously integrated more materials into it. Array after array, secret method after secret method, integrated into it: the first, the second, the tenth, the hundredth...
It was not until the hundred thousandth that Qin Hao completed this process. The surrounding materials had also integrated into the armor, with tens of thousands of ores and materials forming a complete whole within the armor.
Qin Hao looked at the formed armor, feeling a bit excited, but without the slightest slack. The armor's formation was only the beginning of the refining. Array after array, secret method after secret method, began to appear within the refining array. Waves of law power and Source of Life power began to be mobilized, integrating into the central armor.
A new round of nurturing and law integration for the armor began.
Qin Hao poured a large amount of divine power and law comprehension into this entire process, which lasted for ten thousand years. During these ten thousand years, the armor also underwent tremendous changes.
The armor was enveloped in a five-colored light, and beyond the five-colored light were wisps of golden and silver light. The armor also appeared more ancient, filled with an obscure aura.
Layers of secret method also began to form within the armor: the third layer, the fourth layer, the fifth layer, until the sixth layer of secret method formed before stopping.
Seeing the formed secret method, Qin Hao knew that this refining was successful. A Supreme Treasure forming with the third layer of secret method could already exert the combat power of a True God at the initial stage.
The fourth layer of secret method represented the peak combat power of a Seven-rank True God; the fifth layer, the peak combat power of an Eighth-Order True God; and the sixth layer of secret method, the peak combat power of a Ninth-Order True God, which was already the limit of a True God's combat power.
The Great Axe, the Supreme Treasure Qin Hao obtained, only contained the sixth layer of secret method. It could be said that achieving such combat power was already the limit of Qin Hao's current refining capabilities.
When Qin Hao began refining, he did not expect to refine such a powerful Supreme Treasure on his first attempt. He would have been satisfied if it reached the level of a Supreme Treasure, even with only three layers of secret method. Now, with the blessing of ores, materials, and the array, reaching the level of the sixth layer of secret method, Qin Hao also gained new insights into artifact refining.
Array Dao Nine Hundred and the Zhou Tian Star Array both contained some secret methods for artifact refining. In this refining process, Qin Hao's comprehension deepened, and more new ideas began to emerge in his mind.
Finally, he began to control the furnace to complete the final refining. Qin Hao stopped the input of divine power, and the entire grand array gradually concealed itself, with the central furnace completely dissipating. The true appearance of the armor gradually revealed itself, the five-colored light enveloping it slowly receding.
An armor, neither iron nor wood in texture, appeared in the air. The armor was overall bronze in color, but it contained a five-colored halo within, as if it could burst forth at any moment.
"The power of the Five Elements flows, and the power of space-time extends. Even the attacks of a 10th Tier True God can be resisted several times, and a Ninth-Order True God would find it difficult to break through." Taking the armor into his hand, Qin Hao gently tapped it, as if checking the armor's defensive capabilities.
"From now on, it shall be called the Five Elements Armor," Qin Hao said, naming the armor, and nodded with satisfaction.
The Five Elements Armor not only had powerful defensive capabilities but also possessed extremely strong recovery abilities, helping its owner restore divine power. It had some functions of a Source Treasure and could also recover itself by utilizing the power of the Five Elements.
Furthermore, Qin Hao integrated the Five Elements Array. Under the circulation of the Five Elements, a complete circuit was formed, resulting in very little consumption for the user.
