Chapter 710 - 393: Divine Blood, Eternal Burning Furnace (2-in-1)

The towering Divine Peak has nurtured one powerful Divine Blood after another.

They possess innate Talent Abilities, naturally powerful.

For this reason, they are considered the offspring of gods, inheriting the bloodline of deities, called "Divine Blood"...

Besides them, there are many other Divine Bloods on the summit of this Divine Peak.

However, they do not lead this "Divine Sacrifice," all devoutly kneeling, facing a colossal furnace.

Buzz...

This colossal furnace is almost seamlessly integrated with the summit of the Divine Peak, seemingly a part of it.

At this moment, the furnace’s interior was emitting a red, scorching light, with boiling liquid flowing inside.

"Screech—"

A long cry echoed as a Divine Blood, clutching a giant crab in its talons, flapped its wings and swept past the furnace, throwing it in.

From the crab’s appearance, it’s easy to judge that it is a creature with an Extraordinary Bloodline.

Yet at this moment, it had already become material for the Divine Sacrifice Furnace, part of the scalding liquid inside.

Bang... Bang...

Muffled collision sounds reverberated beneath the Divine Peak.

Before long, a Divine Blood with steel giant arms came, carrying a massive mystical ore, which it also placed into the Divine Sacrifice Furnace.

The elder with vertical pupils remained unmoved by these materials delivered by the Divine Bloods, softly chanting prayers with half-closed eye.

"Great existence that governs destruction and creation..."

"The supreme master served by Divine Blood offspring..."

"You are our protector and our witness..."

"I implore you, with your power, grant us rebirth, to once again bring forth new Divine Blood..."

As the elder’s prayers continued, anomalies began to manifest above the Divine Peak Furnace.

Dong...

Dong... Dong...

The heavy clash of gold and iron sounded on the Divine Peak Furnace, gradually increasing from faint to deafening, each strike like a heavy hammer fiercely striking the soul.

Until it suddenly paused.

Only then did a rift appear above the Divine Peak Furnace, tearing through space.

Golden scalding liquid flowed out from the rift, precisely falling into the Divine Peak Furnace.

Splash—

In an instant, the aura of the Divine Peak Furnace surged, and the liquid inside began to boil rapidly.

"Prepare to bathe!"

The elder ended the recitation, slowly standing up, raising his staff high, shouting loudly.

Before long, a group of Divine Bloods swiftly took up massive stone eggs, placing them in the grooves beneath the Divine Peak Furnace.

Then, under the elder’s direction.

Dozens of Divine Bloods gritted their teeth, working together to operate the Divine Peak Furnace’s switch.

Clatter—

The scalding liquid from the Divine Peak Furnace began to flow out, pouring over these stone eggs.

Wretched howls erupted from these stone eggs.

Boom!

Part of the stone eggs seemed unable to withstand such high temperatures, directly shattering, revealing undeveloped juvenile Divine Blood corpses within.

They were already dead, becoming part of the furnace liquid in the firelight.

The Divine Bloods atop the Divine Peak all held their breath, watching this scene.

Ultimately, nearly two-thirds of the stone eggs shattered, leaving about one-third able to withstand the refining of the molten liquid.

Only then did the elder sigh in relief.

"The number of successful Divine Bloods in this refining surpasses previous attempts, praise the great Eternal Burning Furnace..."

The Divine Bloods below mostly appeared very joyful as well.

The anomaly in the sky caused even the Divine Bloods to feel intensely uneasy, for having more powerful bloodlines meant a greater possibility for the continuation of Divine Bloods.

Heaving a sigh of relief, the elder prepared to continue reciting prayers.

But suddenly, a hint of horror flashed in his vertical pupil, as if sensing a crisis from the void, making him suddenly turn his head to look in a certain direction.

It was the mist of the boundary, the unknown region obstructing the steps of life!

"What is happening..."

The elder muttered to himself, his expression becoming grim.

Then, he closed his eyes, activating the Talent Ability in his bloodline.

But at the very next moment...

"Ah!!!"

A scream rang out, and the vertical-eyed old man suddenly clutched his face in agony and knelt on the ground. Shadowy black tentacles faintly appeared on his body, emitting a vague aura of fear.

"Priest!"

"What happened! How did it suddenly..."

"Priest, are you alright?"

In the midst of the startling change, a group of Divine Bloods was shocked and hurried forward to check on his condition.

Some Divine Bloods skilled in recovery and healing began to treat the vertical-eyed priest, quickly restoring his injuries.

However, after he came to his senses, his body continued to tremble uncontrollably.

He shakily pointed his finger in a direction, his voice filled with intense fear.

"The... Black Tide..."

"The Black Tide?" The Divine Bloods, shocked, were puzzled.

It wasn’t until someone looked towards the distant boundary mist’s edge.

Crash!

Mighty waves surged, a massive form parting the boundary mist, its blurred majestic outline revealed within the gray and mysterious purple, slowly approaching this place.

Scream upon scream echoed.

Just glimpsing that blurred majestic form, some Divine Bloods couldn’t withstand it, succumbing to the erosion from the higher Tier Power, collapsing in pain...

Clang...

The forging sound of metal striking metal rang out once again.

It was as though the war drums of ancient battlefields between two opposing armies rumbled, shaking the soul...

...

Eternal Burning Furnace—Selomelek

Level: 90

Tier: Demigod

Explanation: One of the ancient beings that persisted to this day, wielding the authority of destruction and creation, forging and casting are His skills and hobbies, and the highest faith of the Divine Bloods.

The flames roared endlessly, heat unwavering, scalding magma flowed wantonly, and half-melted or burnt ancient weapons could be seen everywhere.

Having left the boundary mist.

Rogel naturally received an invitation from the host to this special domain.

This was a region akin to the Black Tide Space, a projection space similar to the Main World, born from the Main World, yet not impacting it.

And within this scorching Furnace Territory, a massive being with a unicorn atop its head was relentlessly hammering an artifact embryo with a Bronze Giant Hammer.

Its arms were extraordinarily strong and long, with a human torso and horse-like abdomen, its somewhat ugly face intensely focused on the artifact embryo.

Seemingly sensing Rogel’s arrival.

Its Bronze Giant Hammer suddenly paused mid-air, its Divine Eye, burning with Molten Fire and the essence of destruction, turned towards Rogel.

"The world’s order is about to collapse."

"Master of the Black Tide, for what reason have you come?"

It inquired, with molten liquid dripping from the Bronze Giant Hammer in its hand.

"Eternal Burning Furnace, Selomelek..." Rogel recited its full name, then opened his hand, revealing a fiercely burning Molten Core: "The Molten Core, sourced from you."

"The core..."

"So it’s you..."

The Eternal Burning Furnace murmured, seemingly understanding the matter’s reason.

But the matter was no longer important at this time; instead, he was more curious about Rogel’s intentions.

"What is your purpose?"

The Eternal Burning Furnace withdrew its gaze.

It seemed not to care about the Molten Core in Rogel’s hand.

"As you said, the world’s old order is about to collapse."

Rogel looked at it and stated his purpose concisely: "I will reforge the order, and by then, I hope you will accept it."

"So... you’re using the Molten Core as a bargaining chip?"

The Eternal Burning Furnace shook its head, its tone calm.

"You are mistaken. I need it, but I do not intend to retrieve it."

Clang—

With that, the Eternal Burning Furnace picked up the Bronze Giant Hammer again and resumed hammering the artifact embryo on the forging table.

"As for the new order you’re establishing, I may accept it."

"But compared to that, I’m more skilled at destruction."

Clang—

The Bronze Giant Hammer struck down once again, the soul-stirring, massive sound reverberating throughout the Domain of Melting and Casting, causing the scalding sea of magma to frantically boil!
