Chapter 21 Electrolux
The temperature inside the furnace continued to rise, and the emerald green became even more intense, as if activated by the high temperature, and began to emanate strands of life energy.
Jiang Ci'an's golden pupils gleamed as he intently observed everything.
The theoretical maximum temperature of the "Solar Furnace" is 5,400 degrees Celsius, which can melt most of the high-grade metals in the entire Douluo plane.
At least, we need to reach this limit before we talk about it.
Five thousand degrees.
The shape of the carving knife began to deform slightly, and the metal on the surface softened slightly under the high temperature, revealing a purer, more vibrant gold.
The emerald green grew even brighter, like a lit lamp, and the life force began to overflow, penetrating directly through the outer shell of the furnace.
Jiang Ci'an took a deep breath.
Instantly, it was as if all the pores on his body had been opened, and the overflowing life force naturally surged into his body. The "Body Tempering Method" that was running in his body was like a shark that had smelled blood, frantically devouring this pure energy.
The soul power fluctuated violently, then suddenly shuddered.
I'm at level seventeen.
But Jiang Ci'an had no interest in caring about these things.
His eyes were fixed on the thermometer.
Five thousand two hundred.
"Click—"
A crisp cracking sound came from inside the furnace.
Jiang Ci'an's movements suddenly stopped.
Under the "X-ray vision," he saw a small crack appear on the inner wall of the furnace.
The immense life force of the Living Gold was stimulated by the high temperature and was spreading outward in an unstoppable manner, while the "Solar Furnace," an eighth-level soul tool that was older than him, was about to give out!
It is important to know that the Metal of Life has a unique property: it can extract the life force of metals, plants, and animals, and even shred or completely destroy them.
When operating at maximum power, the structural strength of this furnace is already close to its limit.
Faced with this life force that was almost deliberately targeting metal, the "Solar Furnace" was like a piece of iron thrown into strong acid, being gradually disintegrated from the inside.
If this continues, it will inevitably become unusable.
Jiang Ci'an remained silent for a moment.
His gaze fell on the thermometer, on the increasingly bright emerald green inside the furnace, and on the slowly widening crack.
Then, without hesitation, he turned the temperature knob to the highest setting.
Five thousand two hundred and fifty degrees.
5,270 degrees.
Five thousand three hundred and twenty degrees!
The temperature continued to rise, and the overflowing life force became increasingly concentrated. The air in the sealed room seemed to become viscous, and with each breath, one could feel that pure, almost primal, life energy.
Just moments before the temperature was about to approach the solar furnace's limit of 5,400 degrees Celsius,
"Click—"
One corner of the stove broke.
A vast and surging life force burst forth from the broken opening, like a flood bursting its banks, uncontrollably spreading to every corner around it.
The instrument panel on the control panel flashed wildly, red alarm lights lit up one after another, and a sharp alarm echoed in the sealed room.
The entire solar furnace was trembling slightly, and fine cracks appeared on its metal shell.
Damn it,
It's going to explode!
Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Ci'an turned and ran.
He didn't think he could survive an explosion of this magnitude with his newly acquired level 17 soul power, even with several invincible shields he had purchased at a high price from the Sun Moon Empire.
Saving your life is the most important thing!
however,
The first step was taken.
"Click—"
A cracking sound, even clearer and more resonant than before, came from behind.
It's not metal, and it's not glass.
Rather... space!
Jiang Ci stopped in his tracks and turned to look.
There, in the air above the secret chamber, the space cracked outwards from a certain point, like a mirror struck by a heavy hammer.
Spiderweb-like cracks spread through the air, each crack emanating a grayish-white light that carried a contradictory aura of death and holiness.
Finally, a corner of the space opened up.
A gray ball of light trembled and flew out from the crack.
The ball of light was small, only about the size of a fist, carrying a sense of vicissitude after countless years of sedimentation, exuding a powerful aura of deathly stillness and holiness, yet revealing a clear weakness.
Jiang Ci'an's gaze was fixed on that ball of light.
The dense, almost tangible life force around them seemed to be drawn in by something, and began to surge wildly into the gray light.
The ball of light rapidly devoured the life force scattered around it, and the grayish-white light grew brighter and brighter. Its body began to stretch and change, and after a short while, a gray figure slowly emerged.
This was a handsome young man with a tall and straight figure. His gray-white robe fluttered without wind and was embroidered with patterns that Jiang Ci'an had never seen before, making him look exceptionally mysterious.
He hovered in mid-air, his deep, calm golden eyes scanning the surroundings as if sensing something.
After a moment, he smiled slightly.
The voice was hoarse and deep, carrying an age that didn't match his appearance, like the wind blowing through the cracks of withered wood.
"Using high temperatures to directly purify the resentment artificially infused into the metal of living beings is an interesting method."
He paused, a complex look flashing in his golden eyes.
"Hehe, but it's fortunate that this is the method, otherwise my remnant soul wouldn't have been able to stabilize... How interesting."
His voice was filled with emotion, as if he were talking to himself or to fate.
Then, his gaze turned to Jiang Ci'an.
"I'm sorry, young friend, I don't have time to explain right now. Please come with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man raised his hand, palm facing Jiang Ci'an.
In an instant, an invisible force suddenly enveloped Jiang Ci'an's body, causing him to leave the ground uncontrollably before landing steadily beside the man.
Without pausing, the man raised his other hand and aimed it at the solar furnace that was struggling on the verge of collapse.
Gray, deathly energy surged from his palm, like an invisible giant hand, precisely reaching into the furnace and grabbing the piece of living gold that had slightly deformed under the high temperature.
Tiny golden chains emerged from the gray energy, sealing the life-giving gold layer by layer, like an insect encased in amber.
Then, the man raised his hand again, and a gray door appeared out of thin air.
The door was about three meters high, and its entire body was made of grayish-white light. Its surface was covered with complex patterns and engraved with many ancient characters that seemed to belong to a different world.
But inside the open door was a deep, dark void from which nothing could be seen.
"Let's go, young friend."
The man chuckled softly and led Jiang Ci'an straight through the gray door.
The figure vanished, and with a "bang," the door slammed shut and disintegrated, transforming into streams of dazzling golden light that poured into the solar furnace, which was already on the verge of exploding.
then,
"boom--!!!"
The flames from the explosion burst forth from the sealed room, engulfing the room, the secret passage, and everything within a radius of several hundred meters.
Terrifying flames, interspersed with streaks of dazzling golden light, transformed into a massive shockwave that spread in all directions, causing the ground to tremble, trees to snap, and dust to fly.
At that moment, all remaining traces and traces vanished instantly.
All that remained was a huge crater still burning with raging flames.
