Divine Hint: Reporting An Escaped Convict From The Start

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Li Hao did not expect the entrance to the third level to appear like this.

Just now, Li Hao had searched without a trace. He did not expect to come out after refining a pill.

Looking at the passageway to the third level, Li Hao did not hesitate. In a flash, he headed straight ahead and entered.

Soon, Li Hao’s vision blurred, and his surroundings changed. He had already arrived on the third level.

Looking at the scene on the third level, Li Hao was stunned again.

This level was like a blacksmith’s shop.

In front of him was a huge weapon refinement furnace. Around it were some unknown ores and some other materials. Among them were some demon beast bones, demon cores, and so on.

Around him were some shelves with some arms. Some were just embryonic models that had yet to be forged.

“This is a place to refine weapons,” muttered Li Hao.

The first level, array formation.

The second level was alchemy.

On the third level, weapon refinement.

He wondered what was behind him. Li Hao was looking forward to it.

However, he had to pass this level first.

Just as Li Hao was feeling this way…

THUD!

THUD!

Thud…

Suddenly, a deafening sound filled the entire space, scaring Li Hao.

Right on the heels of that, Li Hao saw a majestic figure appear beside the furnace in front of him.

The figure was shirtless, like a giant. He held a large hammer in one hand and clamped the artifact he was refining tightly with the other. The hammer in his hand kept smashing down.

This deafening sound was the sound of the hammer smashing down.

Refining weapons!

Without a doubt, the figure in front of him was refining weapons.

This figure was only a phantom, as if it had once existed. In front of him was only a phantom.

Even so, Li Hao still felt a supreme power from this figure.

THUD!

THUD!

THUD!

Loud booms continuously sounded. Every time they sounded, the entire world seemed to trembl

Moments ago, Li Hao had searched exhaustively. He hadn’t expected to emerge after refining a pill.

Staring at the pathway leading to the third level, Li Hao didn’t waver. In an instant, he surged forward and entered.

Before long, Li Hao’s surroundings underwent a transformation, and his vision blurred. He found himself already on the third level.

Looking at the scene on the third level, Li Hao was stunned again.

This level was like a blacksmith’s shop.

Before him stood a massive weapon forging furnace. Surrounding it were several unknown ores and various materials, including demon beast bones and cores.

Adjacent were shelves stocked with weapons, some just in rudimentary forms, awaiting the refining process.

“This is a place to refine weapons,” muttered Li Hao. The first level was dedicated to array formations.

The second level was all about alchemy.

On the third level, it was about weapon refinement.

He wondered what was behind him. Li Hao was looking forward to it.

However, he had to pass this level first. 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗯𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝗺

Just as Li Hao was feeling this way…

THUD!

THUD!

Thud…

Suddenly, an ear-splitting noise reverberated throughout the expanse, jolting Li Hao.

Shortly thereafter, a towering figure materialized by the furnace before him.

Shirtless and colossal, the figure wielded a massive hammer in one hand and firmly gripped the artifact in his other. The hammer repeatedly pounded down.

This deafening sound was the sound of the hammer smashing down.

Refining weapons!

Without a doubt, the figure in front of him was refining weapons.

The figure appeared spectral, as if it had existed in a bygone era. Only a phantom occupied the space.

Even so, Li Hao still felt a supreme power from this figure.

THUD!

THUD!

THUD!

Resounding crashes continued to permeate the surroundings. With each impact, the entire realm seemed to shudder.

Li Hao was uncertain about what the figure was refining. Due to the unclear visibility, he could not discern it, but the aura exuding from it was extraordinary.

Moreover, with the repeated and forceful strikes of the enormous hammer, Li Hao found himself bewildered. It was as if the only sound echoing in the world was the rhythmic pounding of the hammer.

Observing the scene unfolding before him, Li Hao felt an otherworldly transformation. The environment around him seemed to morph, and the entire universe turned into a realm of forges. Li Hao felt minuscule in comparison. The colossal hammer perpetually descended overhead, as if its intent was to shatter the earth and tame the heavens, refining this world into a weapon.

An unsettling sensation prickled at Li Hao’s scalp as he gazed upon the colossal hammer’s impending descent.

Who exactly was this? He actually wanted to refine the world.

In this instant, Li Hao transitioned from a mere observer to a participant thrust into the midst of it. He watched helplessly as the hammer dropped, seeking to shape the very world beneath his feet. He found himself incapable of resistance.

Knock knock knock!

A loud roar kept ringing.

Li Hao’s heartbeat accelerated. He activated his cultivation in an attempt to fend off the impact, but to his astonishment, the power within this realm no longer yielded to his control.

THUD!

The hammer fell again, closer to him.

Li Hao still could not resist.

As the hammer’s trajectory approached, Li Hao remained immobilized.

Crisis!

A powerful sense of danger arose in Li Hao’s heart.

However, the more pronounced this perilous feeling became, the more serene Li Hao grew. In the direst circumstances, his potential seemed to unfurl.

The next moment, Li Hao seemed to understand.

Since the figure before him was a mere phantom, unreal in nature, the colossal hammer it wielded was equally intangible. The backdrop surrounding him was almost certainly illusory.

At this moment, Li Hao seemed to have found the key.

Despite witnessing the imminent impact of the descending hammer, Li Hao remained motionless, his demeanor unflappable.

THUD! THUD! THUD…

The enormous hammer neither rushed nor lagged, yet it seemed to pulsate with rhythm and allure. Each strike surpassed its predecessor in force.

Knock knock knock…

Another three knocks were heard, but the next three seemed to be continuous…

Hmm?

Li Hao was shocked.

“This is a Hammer technique?”

A realization suddenly dawned on Li Hao that the movements of the figure wielding the massive hammer bore resemblance to the execution of martial techniques.

Li Hao’s gaze was fixed on the huge hammer raised by the figure.

As the hammer continued its descent in a cadence of escalating power, Li Hao gradually pieced something together.

At this moment, Li Hao seemed to be left with the hammer.

Before him, the majestic figure persisted in hefting the massive hammer, perpetually striving to subdue the world beneath its weight, seeking to transform it into a weapon.

However, Li Hao felt different.

It was as though… he was observing the figure in front of him utilizing a Dao technique to impart knowledge.

After an unknown period of time…

“I understand…” Li Hao’s eyes lit up as he muttered.

Then, a sword appeared in Li Hao’s hand. Li Hao held it and smashed it down.

Li Hao used his sword as a Mace and smashed it down like the phantom had just smashed the hammer.

Boom!

As Li Hao’s sword landed, the entire world seemed to tremble. This sword contained supreme power.

The sword smashed out, suppressing the world and directly hitting the huge hammer.

At this moment, the huge hammer that was about to smash down paused, but the momentum did not completely stop.

Then, Li Hao smashed his sword again.

The second strike was stronger than the previous one. It even borrowed the recoil of the previous strike.

BOOM!

The sword smashed into the huge hammer again.

The hammer was finally blocked. Another extremely powerful recoil came from Li Hao’s hand holding the sword, causing him to retreat.

However, this was not enough.

Li Hao recalled how the huge hammer had smashed down just now and struck a third, fourth, fifth time…

He struck out three times in a row. Every strike was stronger than the previous one. With the three swords stacked, the suppression was already extremely strong.

Li Hao’s body was still empty. With Li Hao’s current cultivation realm, using the fifth sword… No, it should be the fifth Mace was already his limit.

Nine Heavenly Hammers!

The name of this hammer technique appeared in Li Hao’s mind.

There were a total of nine hammers, and each hammer was stronger than the last.

BOOM!

As the three swords slashed out, the huge hammer was finally sent flying.

Everything around him dissipated with the wind and disappeared.

After an unknown period of time…

“I understand…” Li Hao’s eyes lit up as he muttered.

Instantly, a sword materialized within Li Hao’s grip. He wielded it, directing a forceful downward strike.

Li Hao employed his sword as if it were a mace, mirroring the phantom’s earlier hammer strike.

Boom!

Upon Li Hao’s sword’s impact, the entire world seemed to quiver. An aura of supreme power enveloped the weapon.

The sword’s descent pressed down, subjugating the world and directly clashing with the massive hammer.

At this moment, the huge hammer that was about to smash down paused, but the momentum did not completely stop.

Then, Li Hao smashed his sword again.

The second blow surpassed its predecessor in potency and even harnessed the rebound from the previous stroke.

BOOM!

The sword smashed into the huge hammer again.

The hammer was finally parried. An immensely vigorous recoil surged through

Li Hao’s sword-wielding hand, propelling him backward.

However, this was not enough.

Li Hao reminisced about the way the massive hammer had fallen earlier and consecutively struck a third, fourth, and fifth time…

He executed three consecutive strikes. Each subsequent strike exceeded its forerunner in strength. With the three sword strikes superimposed, the suppression was already highly formidable.

Li Hao’s being remained vacant. Given his prevailing level of cultivation, executing the fifth sword strike, or rather the fifth mace strike — as it should be termed — was already pushing his limits.

Nine Heavenly Hammers!

The name of this hammer technique appeared in Li Hao’s mind.

There were a total of nine hammers, and each hammer was stronger than the last.

BOOM!

With the triad of sword strokes unleashed, the massive hammer was at last launched away.

Everything around him dissipated with the wind and disappeared..
