Chapter 2810: Chapter 2786: Detonation

The sudden surge of scorching heat twisted the original Yuan Energy, and even the surrounding space began to tremble. In the process of the Nine Fiery Suns converging, an immense pressure was born, invisibly pushing against this Isolating Formation, as if it were about to explode.

Lin Feng closed his eyes and waited. He had to wait until the Nine Fiery Suns fused into one.

Slowly, the Nine Fiery Suns finally condensed into a single Sunburst hundreds of zhang across, hanging in midair. In an instant, the surrounding temperature soared to the extreme. Because of the abrupt high heat, the space around seemed on the verge of being torn apart, countless black spatial rifts appearing. The Yuan Energy around those rifts was nearly twisted out of shape, and faint white vapor seemed to rise around the Yuan Energy itself. The entire land felt as if it were being roasted; the already cracked ground dried and split even further.

Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction, and then the Golden Yuan Gang on his body suddenly erupted.

"Boom!"

Another heaven-shaking roar rang out. Golden radiance burst from Lin Feng’s body as the Golden Yuan Gang, like liquid, turned into a stream of golden water and poured into the gigantic Sunburst. The whole process lasted for an hour. As the faint golden light within that vast Sunburst grew ever more dazzling, at the instant the final thread of Yuan Gang poured into it, the Sunburst turned into a near–platinum-colored sphere, shining with brilliant light.

"Boss, what the hell is he doing? Why does this feel so familiar?" Tangyuan looked at Xiao Jiu standing to the side and asked. He was sure he’d seen this scene somewhere before, but had forgotten where.

Xiao Jiu thought for a moment, then said to Tangyuan, "Let’s just watch for now."

Once the Sunburst had been saturated with Lin Feng’s Golden Yuan Gang, it began to emit an intense golden glow. The entire space was blasted by that fierce light as streak after streak of golden radiance spread out in all directions. Even within the Formation, that glow still covered the desolate plain for hundreds of li.

Inside the Formation, the golden Yuan Gang was constantly moving. The entire Isolating Formation seemed on the verge of being ripped apart by this Yuan Gang. Under the extreme heat of the Sunburst, it was slowly turning transparent, as though it could explode at any moment. When the Sunburst condensed to the limit of what it could endure, he withdrew the Nine Suns Sky-Shaking Technique from his body and used his Divine Sense to support that blazing sun in the sky.

Seeing that the first step was ready, Lin Feng smiled. But he knew this time would be far harder than the last. Previously, the target had been a swamp; this time he had to hurl the Icefire Bomb precisely into the heart of the metal mine, which was definitely not an easy task.

He had no time to think of anything else, and at the same time began frantically to circulate the Nine Ice Divine Control Technique within his body.

Fine traces of Cold Qi seeped from Lin Feng’s body, forming a faint blue Yuan Gang that poured into the Sunburst overhead. Lin Feng was extremely cautious throughout the process; he could feel that this Sunburst had already reached its limit. The slightest carelessness would cause it to explode.

The pale blue Yuan Gang cautiously poured into the golden Sunburst bit by bit, and the temperature within the Formation plummeted. In an instant, a faint icy-blue light shot out, followed by tendrils of Cold Qi.

He knew what he was doing was extremely dangerous. He had succeeded in that previous attempt, yes, but this time he really didn’t have full confidence. His Yuan Gang had already transformed, and the Nine Suns Sky-Shaking Technique had been comprehended to the tenth move. He had no way of predicting what accidents might occur in between.

At this moment, the left half of Lin Feng’s body was exuding a faint chill, while the right half steamed with hazy heat. His whole person looked like he was split by a clear boundary line, dividing his body into two halves. Under the influence of these two Cultivation Techniques, he kept his eyes tightly shut, brow furrowed, and each step he took had to be extremely cautious.

Time flowed by. In the blink of an eye, several days had passed, and that gigantic Sunburst had actually turned blue-gold. One could clearly see the colors within the Sunburst—gold and blue—alternating without any pattern. The strange light it emitted filled the entire Formation with a mysterious aura.

"Just as I thought—an Icefire Bomb!" Tangyuan laughed and said proudly to Xiao Jiu.

But Xiao Jiu wasn’t in the mood to think about that. He was very worried that Lin Feng might be in danger like this, and he could clearly feel the terrifying aura emanating from the Icefire Bomb. If it truly detonated, he had no way to predict how powerful the blast would be.

Gazing at the Icefire Bomb spanning hundreds of zhang across, Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction. Half of the Icefire Bomb was releasing the aura of Flame that was supremely yang and supremely rigid, while the other half emitted an icy Cold Qi that was supremely yin and supremely frigid. As these auras intersected, they generated a tremendous pressure. The Yuan Energy around the Icefire Bomb seemed frozen solid, and the space around it was torn apart, riven by streak after streak of black cracks.

Lin Feng didn’t rush to throw the Icefire Bomb down. Instead, he first let the bomb stabilize, then flew to the edge of the metal mine’s giant pit to observe carefully.

He wanted to probe the situation around the pit, so he could decide exactly where to drop the Icefire Bomb. He had to send it into the very center of the metal mine so the mine would receive force evenly, shatter as thoroughly as possible, and also minimize the damage to the surrounding environment. Afterward, he used his Divine Sense to mark a precise point at the center of the metal mine, then flew back into the sky.

Seeing that the aura within the Icefire Bomb had gradually stabilized, he took a deep breath. In an instant, the Yuan Gang on his body erupted and slowly transformed into a Golden Yuan Gang Giant Hand, which gently attached itself to the Icefire Bomb.

"Whoosh!"

The Icefire Bomb plummeted from the sky, like a meteor streaked in alternating blue and gold. In a split second, the entire space underwent upheaval, the Formation shuddering violently. The whole space was clearly split in two, one half blue and the other half gold, with the bomb itself like a boundary line carving a rift through the sky. The surrounding Yuan Energy surged outward at high speed, layer upon layer like a Yuan Energy Tidal Wave, rolling out across tens of li, hundreds of li, even thousands of li around.

Wherever the Icefire Bomb passed, a tyrannical pressure surged forth, heaven and earth dimmed, and the entire Formation rumbled as if the bomb were going to swallow up the whole space.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

Not good!

Seeing the Icefire Bomb plunge into the deep pit, Lin Feng used Thousand Miles in One Step and left the area.

The instant the Icefire Bomb dropped into the pit, it was like two planets colliding. A heaven-shaking roar erupted, and in a flash, alternating blue and gold light blasted out of the pit. The ground began to crack, opening countless fissures several yards wide that spread in all directions, instantly covering dozens of miles around.

Before their eyes, a powerful shockwave kept surging out of the pit, all the surrounding Yuan Energy converging toward the giant crater, mingling with the blue-and-gold shockwave that shot straight into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, countless tiny metal fragments were wrapped in golden and blue radiance and shot up from the pit, soaring to hundreds of yards high. If not for the Isolating Formation, that force would have been enough to send the metal shards straight into the clouds.

The golden ore in the pit was also blasted into countless chunks that erupted outward. In that instant, the whole space was streaked with gold, blue, and gray light, while metallic aura and cold-hot Qi alternated. Subtle changes rippled through the entire Formation.

The shockwave kept spreading outward, instantly sweeping across ten miles. Thick smoke rolled through the Formation, and under the fierce tremors it bulged into a huge sphere, looking like it was about to explode.

"Scared me to death!" Tangyuan yelped. That sudden blast had given it quite a fright. Even the ground outside the Formation shook from the violent explosion, and they had no way to see what was happening inside.

Lin Feng flew back from a thousand miles away and landed in front of Tangyuan and Xiao Jiu. The moment they saw him, the two were dumbfounded—turns out the Boss had hidden long ago, making Xiao Jiu worry for nothing.

"Boss, what the hell are you doing?" Tangyuan asked Lin Feng curiously.

"Demolition," Lin Feng answered Tangyuan. He knew this was a term from Earth; telling it to Tangyuan was pointless anyway.

Then he led Tangyuan and Xiao Jiu to the edge of the Formation. With a wave of Lin Feng’s hand, the Formation vanished in an instant, and a powerful shockwave blasted out of it. Xiao Jiu immediately transformed into a dragon and shot into the sky, while Lin Feng also rose into the air. Only Tangyuan was hit head-on by the force, sent flying like a big ball tracing an arc through the air, and with a miserable scream, it crashed down hundreds of yards away.

The shockwave rolled outward in all directions, mixed with dust and Yuan Energy, and dissipated several hundred yards out. Lin Feng knew this was just the residual force left inside the Formation and wasn’t a big problem.

When the dust on the ground dispersed, Lin Feng saw a layer of scattered metal fragments lying everywhere. He nodded in satisfaction; it seemed the effect matched his expectations. Then he swept all the metal shards into his Space Ring and left the place.

Man and beast headed straight to the outside of Shilin. There, Puba and the others were still racing against time to study the design diagram Lin Feng had left earlier.

Lin Feng walked over, dumped the metal fragments from the Space Ring onto the ground, and said to Puba, "I found this."

Puba picked up a piece of rubble, then said excitedly, "This is great, we can use it for the outer shell."

Nodding, Lin Feng said, "I’ll handle the exterior myself. You guys just make sure everything inside is done right. Leave the rest to me."

"Alright." Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Puba took his companions and went back to work.

At that moment, Lin Feng was mulling over a problem: how could he get that Queming Stone out from within Shilin? He couldn’t get too close to the Isolating Formation; the stone’s energy absorption was too terrifying. He had to find a way to temporarily apply a Sealing to the stone, then unlock it when the time came.
