The Heavenly Fire Ancestor explained to him, "This is your life-bound battle weapon. The effect of having someone else refine it would be far inferior to refining it yourself. Besides, you possess such powerful flame energy!"
Ye Liuyun also asked the Heavenly Fire Ancestor about the refinement methods for his clone’s Heaven Devourer and Golden Blade, and found that the methods were exactly the same.
He went to confirm with Qiong Qi as well, and Qiong Qi also said that life-bound battle weapons were best refined by their masters themselves, as this made them more compatible with their owners.
Of course, if the master lacked flame power, they would have no choice but to seek help from others.
"Your flame power is even stronger than the Heavenly Fire Ancestor’s. Having him refine it truly wouldn’t be as good as refining it yourself. Moreover, this refinement process is quite simple. Your blade already possesses its own consciousness—you only need to place the materials together with it, and it will absorb them on its own! The same goes for your clone’s blade; its original attributes won’t change. You can refine it with complete confidence!"
Qiong Qi’s explanation matched what the Heavenly Fire Ancestor had said.
Thus, Ye Liuyun began collecting refinement materials. He dug out all the mineral resources he had gathered from the Hongtian Dynasty’s treasury and had the Heavenly Fire Ancestor, Qiong Qi, Tong Xin, and other artifact refiners help him identify two particularly special metals.
They couldn’t name these metals, but they all felt extraordinary—exceptionally sturdy, at least beyond what his current Demon-Slaying Blade could cut through, and extremely difficult to refine.
Ye Liuyun didn’t care what materials they were anyway. As long as the Demon-Slaying Blade found a material suitable, it would absorb it on its own; useless materials it wouldn’t touch.
Then he released that metal puppet and pondered whether to refine it as well. Unexpectedly, his War God Armor was quite enthusiastic about this idea and wanted to absorb some of the puppet’s materials alongside him.
"I knew you all had your eyes on this puppet’s materials!" Ye Liuyun laughed at their eagerness.
He decided to refine this puppet too. Its cultivation realm wasn’t high—only its materials were special. And not just his Demon-Slaying Blade and War God Armor needed upgrading; both clones’ blades needed improvement too, along with Ye Tiandao’s blade and A Xing’s blade...
Ye Liuyun was now worried that one metal puppet wouldn’t be enough for everyone.
"Refine however much we can; we’ll find more materials later if needed. Prioritize the Demon-Slaying Blade first—the War God Armor just got upgraded recently so it can wait until later. If there aren’t enough materials for everyone’s blades now we’ll handle them when we encounter more."
After making up his mind Ye Liuyun immediately began refining—first throwing all prepared materials into his Nine Dragons Heaven-Devouring Cauldron then using both flames alternately to melt all metals into liquid form.
However those two metals alone took him an entire day just to refine while that metal puppet required two full days before completely liquefying.
Next he threw in his Demon-Slaying Blade letting absorb freely itself
The blade didn’t hold back entering first melting down own body before voraciously absorbing nearly half entire metal puppet until couldn’t take anymore stopping let Ye reshape
"Where did all absorbed go? That huge metal halved yet see grow larger!" complained estimating remaining insufficient upgrade even clone weapons
Demon consciousness merely chuckled offering response
Since done couldn’t make spit back out instead infused fresh soul strand merging original strengthening spirit further then cut palm dripping blood letting absorb power of bloodline reshaping
Once shaped left inside cauldron continue tempering
Together clones channeled Golden Crow Sacred Flame Netherworld Ghost Flame lightning spirits simultaneously tempering
Blade excited constantly emitting joyful humming sounds remaining over month until numb three energies leaped out inspection
Didn’t wait whole time anyway since fire lightning possessed intelligence let assist tempering
Ye Liuyun looked at it and felt that its appearance hadn’t changed much. He then used it to slash at a Void-grade weapon, and with a "swish," he easily cut through a giant axe as if slicing tofu.
"Buzz!" The Demon-Slaying Blade hummed excitedly again.
"Alright, I suppose you didn’t waste all those materials."
Ye Liuyun was quite satisfied with this performance. He would just have to find someone later to test exactly what grade of treasures or weapons it could destroy.
Afterward, he tossed the War God Armor into the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron to let it upgrade its grade as well.
The War God Armor didn’t need to be refined; it simply absorbed the molten metal bit by bit, making its progress much slower than the Demon-Slaying Blade.
Once he threw it in, Ye Liuyun stopped paying attention to it. Instead, he took the Demon-Slaying Blade to practice against a Void-grade second-level metal puppet beast. As a result, the puppet beast was immediately slashed open by a single strike from the blade.
It was only because Ye Liuyun feared the Demon-Slaying Blade might destroy the metal puppet beast that he called off the battle and put it away. He let it return to quietly fuse with soul power and raise its intelligence.
Then both he and his clone continued cultivating.
After more than ten days, the War God Armor had once again advanced in grade. It had a connection with Ye Liuyun, so he stopped his cultivation to check on its condition.
"Master, I’ve reached Void-grade fourth level! I can boost your attack power!" The War God Armor reported excitedly to Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun hadn’t expected that this thing could actually advance another level and even enhance his attack power.
He immediately summoned the War God Armor back onto his body and threw a punch to feel the armor’s amplification. Sure enough, although the boost wasn’t much—less than ten percent—there was indeed an improvement.
"The higher my grade becomes, the greater my boost to you will be!" The War God Armor told Ye Liuyun.
"Good!" Ye Liuyun responded happily. At the Grand Void realm, he figured that being even slightly stronger than others would already be enough to create a gap between them.
He let the War God Armor continue nurturing and improving itself, then went to check on the remaining materials. He discovered that the War God Armor had already absorbed all of them clean.
The remaining molten metal was basically just impurities replaced from the Demon-Slaying Blade’s body.
Ye Liuyun could do nothing about this; his clone’s battle blade would have to wait for future materials to upgrade later on after all。
So he released his clone intending recall fire lightning powers。
But when they saw those fire spirit thunder spirits three them were stunned。
