Every kind of metal contains unique patterns within it. Continuing to hammer the metal without damaging these patterns allows Quan Yi to create a special resonance with the metal.
In this situation, Quan Yi can feel the metal's breath and emotions.
Each of his strikes releases a joyful emotion from the metal, and when this emotion accumulates and reaches a critical point, the entire metal sublimates.
At this point, the metal is no longer an inanimate object.
It is endowed with a faint spirituality.
During this process, the forger develops 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 Martial Soul's origin, and ultimately achieve Martial Soul reforging.
Rapid strikes followed one after another, the combo accumulating to fifty-four hits.
The Scarlet Hammer combining three energies is the ultimate version of gang (hardness), its hardness not at all weaker than the original Blazing Sun Gauntlets.
Of course, the price of such power is terrifying consumption.
If he hadn't opened up eight Hidden Meridians, greatly enhancing his recovery, Quan Yi wouldn't have dared to use this move so lavishly.
However, the Ultimate Gold is indeed the Ultimate Gold; the Fifty-Four Hit Combo only caused the dark gold sphere to contract slightly inward.
Fortunately, after fifty-four strikes, Quan Yi's consciousness gradually sank into the interior of the Ultimate Gold, and in those fifty-four strikes, he felt a trace of extremely slight emotion.
It was an emotion of comfort.
Finally, Quan Yi felt that faint connection between himself and the Ultimate Gold.
Delighted, Quan Yi decided to strike while the iron was hot and continue to strengthen his connection with the Ultimate Gold.
When the number of 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 achieved a certain degree of compatibility with the Ultimate Gold.
However, as he was about to reach the Seventy-Two Hit Combo, the Ultimate Gold had not accumulated enough comfort, and this level alone was not enough to support its sublimation.
"Since the Seventy-Two Hit Combo isn't enough, then continue to stack!"
The essence of the combo technique lies in stacking. Although Quan Yi had never struck more than seventy-two times before, it was because the strength of all previous metals had not required Quan Yi to use more power.
The Scarlet Hammer, fused with spiritual power, could be controlled more precisely and detect the force of the rebound, making it far more reliable than using his fists to perform the combo technique.
"Clang!"
The Seventy-Two Hit Combo landed on the Ultimate Gold.
The extreme vibration caused even the Scarlet Dragon Horns to tremble slightly.
As Quan Yi had anticipated, the Ultimate Gold did not sublimate.
However, Quan Yi's combo did not stop. Quan Yi gritted his teeth, the Scarlet Hammer carrying the power of stacking, striking the Ultimate Gold even faster.
At this point, the speed of the Scarlet Hammer suddenly increased.
Nine hammer shadows transformed into nine red rays, falling onto the nine faces of the dark gold sphere at the same time.
In an instant, nine circular ripples appeared on the surface of the dark gold sphere, the forces of vibration colliding and stacking with each other, creating mysterious and complex ripples.
However, within this complex change, the Ultimate Gold conveyed unprecedented joy and burst forth with the brilliant golden light contained within it.
At the same moment, the terrifying power accumulated from ninety-nine eighty-one hammer strikes shattered the red gang hammer, the Scarlet Hammer instantly turning into a dense blood mist that stained the glittering golden dark gold.
Outside, the Dragon Scale on Quan Yi's body, like the dark gold sphere, also showed complex ripples.
The force of vibration within the Scarlet Dragon Horns spread throughout his body via the External Soul Bone. For a time, dense blood mist sprayed out from between all the Dragon Scale gaps.
Even though the force of vibration did not directly act on his body, how could the power of eighty-one stacked hammer strikes be so simple?
Quan Yi's body, like the dark gold sphere, had endured the vibration of the hammer strikes throughout the entire process.
This actually exposed all of Quan Yi's weaknesses within the omnipresent vibration.
Especially the final nine hammer strikes, which caused all of Quan Yi's internal fragile parts to collapse together.
Inside the helmet, Quan Yi even spat out pungent blood, his face turning pale due to the loss of blood. However, Quan Yi, severely injured, wore a bright smile on his face.
Because, he felt a special connection of flesh and blood from the Ultimate Gold.
Inside the Scarlet Dragon Horns, the Ultimate Gold was joyfully flowing in the Fire-attribute space.
Like the Blazing Sun Dragon Spear, the Ultimate Gold had also developed sentience.
Quan Yi carefully extended a tentacle formed from mental power.
The Ultimate Gold seemed to sense Quan Yi's approach.
Facing Quan Yi's mental tentacle, it not only showed no resistance but instead revealed a joyful emotion, happily rushing towards Quan Yi.
When Quan Yi's mental power came into contact with the Ultimate Gold, the two merged perfectly together like water and milk.
At that moment, Quan Yi's consciousness entered a pure dark gold world.
This space was filled with an endless sharp aura.
"Is this the Ultimate Gold?"
Quan Yi knew that he had entered the interior of the Ultimate Gold. Under his mental exploration, countless tiny, sharp gold elements collectively constructed an entire world.
Each of these tiny gold elements was Ultimate Gold, enough to cut through the Scarlet Dragon Skyfire Armor, but facing Quan Yi's arrival, they automatically restrained their sharpness, afraid of hurting Quan Yi.
At the same time, Quan Yi sensed the aura of the Blazing 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 within the Ultimate Gold produced 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 such a situation, Quan Yi would certainly not stop it.
Having obtained Quan Yi's permission, the Ultimate Gold instantly disappeared from the Scarlet Dragon Horns.
The next moment, the Ultimate Gold suddenly appeared in the storage space that should have been storing the Blazing Sun Gauntlets.
As the Martial Soul origin returned to its original position, everything returned to normal.
The Ultimate Gold, appearing in the Martial Soul space, completely lost the suppression of the Scarlet Dragon Horns.
However, it suppressed its sharp aura on its own. But, 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 little dragon opened its small mouth, directly sucking the Fire-attribute Soul Power into its body.
As the Fire-attribute Soul Power was absorbed, the Martial Soul origin inside the dark gold little dragon began to grow rapidly, and a tiny but tenacious flame suddenly emerged from the little dragon's body.
The aura emitted by this flame seemed so conspicuous in the world of Ultimate Gold.
At the same time, the Scorching Heat coming from the Scarlet Dragon Horns gradually subsided.
Fire Immunity, Ultimate Fire, had returned.
