With Shi Feng's permission, Ceruola looked at the Corroding Armor before her and smiled faintly, then reached out and grabbed it directly.
The terrifying corrosive force emanating from the Corroding Armor could destroy even a stone table forged from fire spirit stones, yet Ceruola picked it up with ease. The corrosive power radiating outward was completely blocked by the gloves she wore, unable to affect her in the slightest.
"Incredible! As expected — no grandmaster blacksmith is ordinary." Shi Feng stared at the leather gloves on Ceruola's hands, feeling an indescribable envy in his heart.
To be completely unaffected by the corrosive power of the Corroding Armor was something only legendary items could achieve, and for any NPC in the Divine Realm, legendary items were things beyond mere chance to obtain. Among fourth-tier NPCs, only an extremely small handful possessed them, and every single one of those NPCs was a major figure within kingdoms and empires.
Moreover, Ceruola owned more than one legendary item.
The scattered corrosive force not only had no effect on Ceruola's arms — it couldn't even reach her immediate surroundings, all of it deflected by an invisible layer of power.
The only explanation for such terrifying protective capability was that the leather armor Ceruola wore was a legendary item.
Two legendary items…
In his previous life, if a player obtained even one, they could challenge opponents above their tier. Players who possessed two or more legendary items could be counted on one hand, and every single one of them was a sixth-tier, god-tier player.
While Shi Feng was envying the legendary items on Ceruola, she carried the Corroding Armor to the center of the magic circle in the blacksmith's workshop and began writing out a chanting incantation.
Lines of divine text were rapidly inscribed, flying toward the area around the Corroding Armor. In a short time, hundreds of divine text segments were completed, and magic circles gradually took shape around the Corroding Armor. In the blink of an eye, they merged into a five-layered magic circle.
The terrifying pressure was so intense that even Shi Feng, standing at a distance, found it deeply uncomfortable.
As the five-layered magic circle fully formed and completely suppressed the corrosive power emanating from the Corroding Armor, Ceruola took out a crystal radiating a golden halo and tossed it directly into the center of the magic circle.
Boom!
The moment the golden crystal merged with the magic circle, the entire space within erupted with towering flames. These flames blazed a dazzling gold, utterly different from ordinary fire, giving off an indescribable sense of holiness. Yet they possessed none of that wild, untamed power — instead, they were remarkably gentle.
But the Corroding Armor within the magic circle began to change. The divine-metal-hard material gradually turned scarlet, hinting at a trend toward melting.
"No way — that's Sacred Fire!" Shi Feng stared at the golden flames, his mouth dropping open.
He had only ever read about Sacred Fire in the ancient texts of the Divine Realm. This flame was renowned as the supreme fire for forging treasures, yet it did not exist anywhere on the Divine Realm's continent — only in certain special planes. Apart from the primordial gods, no one had ever truly controlled this fire.
The Sacred Fire that could be seen on the continent had all been passed down from primordial gods, sealed within special crystals. Each crystal contained enough Sacred Fire for a single use, but even so, it was the dream flame of countless blacksmiths.
Because this flame was the finest fire for forging legendary items.
It had appeared once at an auction in Black Wing City within the Divine Realm. At the time, both NPCs and players — even many wealthy NPC grandmaster blacksmiths — fought over it frantically, and in the end it was the super guild War Wolf that spent the astronomical price of 310,000 gold to purchase it, sending shockwaves through the entire Divine Realm…
Many super powers at the time had mocked the guild War Wolf for being fools, spending 310,000 gold on nothing more than a possibility. After all, even for a super guild at the time, shelling out 310,000 gold in one go was painfully painful.
But it had to be said — the result was worth every coin, because with Sacred Fire, War Wolf's grandmaster blacksmith had successfully forged a legendary item. Though it ranked at the very bottom of legendary items, it was still a legendary item, something not even fragments of legendary items could compare to.
