The irregular metal block in Quan Yi's hand had unknowingly transformed into a regular, round metal sphere.
The dazzling sunlight had also completely subsided, contained within the metal's surface, forming a special spiral vortex-like metallic pattern and halo.
Quan Yi, who could easily withstand external destruction, found that his right hand bones had developed countless fine cracks after enduring only ten thousand strikes of his full power.
But at this point, he had long forgotten his own condition, his attention entirely focused on communicating with this unfamiliar metal.
With zero-distance contact through his hands, Quan Yi's ability to probe and sense the metal was brought to its fullest potential.
During the hammering process, this volatile metal, under Quan Yi's careful coaxing, gradually restrained its temper, willing to follow Quan Yi's guidance and improve itself.
The Sun Metal no longer emitted terrifying heat; all its energy returned to its interior, focusing on its own enhancement.
And Quan Yi, through communication, deeply integrated his own understanding and practice of the Sun Laws.
Sun Metal, nurtured by the sun's core, is naturally an external manifestation of the Sun Laws. What Quan Yi is doing now is guiding the Sun Metal to better fit the laws, becoming a tool that can carry and amplify the power of the laws.
As the ten thousandth hammer strike landed, reaching a round number, the Sun Metal seemed to commemorate this moment, its restrained halo suddenly bursting forth, forming a crimson-gold pillar of light that soared into the sky.
Refinement, Spiritualization, Creation
According to Quan Yi's own forging experience, this metal had naturally reached the pinnacle of spiritualization.
Flawless, with innate spirituality, such metal is certainly powerful, but the inability to establish a bond in the early stages undoubtedly makes it more difficult for the forger.
However, Quan Yi, with great patience and perseverance, entered the Sun Metal's heart step by step, successfully gaining its approval.
And this pillar of light represented the Sun Metal opening its heart to him, achieving a state of bloodline fusion and becoming one with each other.
The pillar of light symbolizing creation returned to the metal, revealing a round iron ball emitting a faint golden light.
The patterns on the iron ball were intricate and regular, and even if someone were to measure them bit by bit with a ruler, it would be difficult to find any deviation in the patterns.
The suspended Sun Metal contained a rich life energy within, burning vigorously like the sun.
Among all metals, this was the first time he had seen a scene where life force was so dense that it turned into flames.
Leaving aside any fire-attribute energy, this vigorous life force alone was enough to drive the surrounding life to burn together.
"Thank, thank."
The newly born life, not long after its birth, relied on its own talent to instinctively use mental telepathy to express its gratitude to Quan Yi.
Through the connection of shared blood, Quan Yi felt the nearly infinite power of the sun within the Sun Metal.
Clearly in the dark Shadow Space, but when holding the Sun Metal, Quan Yi felt as if he was inside the sun.
The amplification of the simulated environment, the inexhaustible energy supply, this is a miniature sun.
Unable to hide the joy on his face, Quan Yi held up the Sun Metal with his left hand, as if holding his own child, and said happily:
"Welcome to this world."
Excited, the patterns on the Sun Metal lit up, and the golden-red corona, the firelight surrounding the iron ball, overflowed from Quan Yi's palm, emitting the power of a miniature sun.
This one, which had not yet passed the tribulation, emitted a power that was not inferior to any artifact.
Quan Yi even suspected that when the Sun Metal truly underwent the tribulation, would a tribulation that matched it really descend?
Thinking about it, Quan Yi was really looking forward to that day coming soon.
Under his call, the miniature sun merged into his body along his palm and sat in the Yang Five Elements, bringing pure solar power to Quan Yi's body.
This is the first function of this semi-divine artifact, to provide Quan Yi with endless solar power.
As long as he is equipped with it, Quan Yi does not need to open and close the space channel to transmit energy. He can provide forging, condense soul rings, and a series of tasks that require a lot of energy by himself.
Simply put, it is an ultra-miniature controllable nuclear fusion energy device.
Although the word 'eternal' cannot be used to describe it, at least in Quan Yi's imagination, it is difficult for him to imagine the day when the miniature sun will run out of energy.
Even if there is, it should be in the distant future, thousands or tens of thousands of years later.
Moreover, what is even more terrifying is that even if it consumes its own energy, as long as it absorbs the sun's power from the outside world, the consumed energy will be automatically replenished.
As long as there are still burning stars in the universe, it will not be completely extinguished.
Quan Yi's right hand injury was recovering at the fastest speed with the replenishment of a large amount of energy.
The itching sensation of rapid cell proliferation restored sensation to his already numb right hand.
He suddenly laughed and said to himself:
"What a crazy act, smashing my palm with a hammer, I really don't know how I came up with it."
The power of the Sun Metal forced Quan Yi to make such an unconventional move, but in fact, this was also his helpless act.
After laughing, Quan Yi readjusted his mood and walked out of the Shadow Space.
At night, after having dinner with his family, he once again sneaked into the sun to temper his body.
During the day, he picked up the hammer and kept hammering the Sun Metal, promoting the Sun Metal's continued evolution.
In a disciplined and crazy daily routine, Quan Yi hammered out all kinds of superficial or negative effects caused by the surge of soul rings.
And his body became more and more resilient and powerful.
Even though the density and forging difficulty of the Sun Metal were also increasing with the passage of time, Quan Yi's own progress was not lagging behind.
His mastery of pure physical forging skills became more and more skilled, which made the time he needed to swing a full-strength hammer shorter and shorter, and the quality of each hammer was also higher.
By the sixth day, Quan Yi's number of hammers had accumulated to an astonishing ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety strokes.
Only ten hammers were left from his target of one hundred thousand hammers.
"Thump, thump."
Between the deafening sound of metal, there was an increasingly obvious heartbeat, gradually matching and resonating with the sound of the hammer.
Quan Yi took off his upper body, revealing the muscle lines that had turned red due to long-term hammering.
The palm-sized high-density Sun Metal had obviously shrunk inward after these days of forging. In order not to interfere with the golden hammer and to fix the Sun Metal, Quan Yi could only pinch the metal with his fingertips.
This method would undoubtedly cause greater damage to the hand, and the pain from the fingertips was far greater than the pain from the entire palm.
But Quan Yi turned a blind eye to the pain and swung the hammer with perseverance.
