The trading city had turned into a pile of ruins.
All the members of the Bloodthirsty Clan had died. Even Long Feiteng had been killed by his senior brother, Xue Qianying.
Fang Chen and the others left the place and continued forward.
The Blood Ruins were extremely dangerous. Even high-level Heavenly Body Tier cultivators couldn't guarantee that they could leave alive.
Three days later, Fang Chen and the others heard a piece of news.
"Heaven and Earth Furnace?"
Tie Yizun asked in shock.
Man Long nodded heavily. He was the one who brought this news back.
"Many cultivators have gone to Tiger Head Mountain. This is most likely true," Man Long said.
"What exactly is this Heaven and Earth Furnace?" Fang Chen asked in confusion.
Tie Yizun had some understanding of this.
After all, he was a prodigy of the Old Hua Islands before joining the Demon Subduing World.
Although he was less famous than Fang Chen now, he knew some of the secrets of the Old Hua Island better than the other seven.
"Legend has it that there are extremely powerful flames hidden beneath the ground. If these flames were to erupt, they would form the Heaven and Earth Smelt. Each time the Heaven and Earth Smelt appears, powerful beings would use it to craft weapons." Tie Yizun explained.
Fang Chen was stunned when he heard this.
Wasn't this the same as the volcanoes on Earth?
Heaven and Earth Furnace?
Fang Chen found it ridiculous.
However, he still listened to Tie Yizun.
"Is it possible to forge weapons using the Heaven and Earth Furnace?" Man Long asked in disbelief.
Speaking of forging weapons, Tie Yizun's expression became serious. He said slowly, "There are complete laws of fire in the Heaven and Earth Furnace. As long as a weapon is placed in it, it will automatically increase in grade."
"So powerful?" Man Long exclaimed.
Tie Yizun nodded. He only knew a little about the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
Anyway, when he was on the Old Hua Island, those Creation Tier elites were all shocked when they talked about the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
"Since that's the case, let's go and take a look," Man Long urged.
The eight of them looked at each other, their eyes filled with passion. Then, they hurried forward.
Tiger Head Mountain wasn't too far away from where Fang Chen and the others were.
Even so, it took the eight of them three days to reach Tiger Head Mountain.
Looking from afar, Tiger Head Mountain looked like a huge tiger, and the peak was exactly the same as the head of the tiger.
Huhu
At this moment, on the peak of Tiger Head Mountain, scorching flames were spurting out.
Some powerful warriors stood halfway up the mountain to watch. No one dared to ascend the mountain peak.
Fang Chen looked around and found that none of the Nine Great Star Kings had come.
"Eh? Why didn't the Nine Great Star Kings come for such a big matter?"
There were many martial artists on the plain.
Upon hearing Fang Chen's words, one of the warriors spoke up.
"The Nine Great Star Kings are hunting down the remaining members of the Bloodthirsty Clan and the Demon Blood Clan.
Hearing this, Fang Chen nodded.
Then, his gaze landed on the mountain peak.
Boundless flames spewed out from the tiger's mouth. Even though they were very far away, they could still feel the incomparable heat.
"Is that the Heaven and Earth Furnace?"
Fang Chen's heart trembled.
At the top of Tiger Head Mountain, the tiger opened its mouth and spat out flames.
This was similar to a volcanic eruption on Earth.
However, when Fang Chen's Origin Spirit spread out, he instantly felt that the Heaven and Earth Furnace was different.
Fang Chen wanted to send his Origin Spirit into the Heaven and Earth Furnace, but he found that it was restricted.
"Mm-hm, the rules are different."
Fang Chen frowned, and his heart trembled slightly.
Dong, dong, dong
The golden heart beat rapidly, seeming to be very excited.
Little Mouse had appeared on Fang Chen's shoulder without him noticing.
"Boss, this Heaven and Earth Furnace is really spectacular," Little Mouse said with a smile.
"Even high-level Heavenly Body Tier cultivators don't dare to casually step into the Heaven and Earth Furnace," Man Long said with emotion.
If weak cultivators like them fell into the Heaven and Earth Furnace, they would be evaporated in a matter of minutes.
"Although this Heaven and Earth Furnace is very small, it's enough to stop Heavenly Body Tier elites," Tie Yizun said.
His eyes were filled with envy.
If he could climb Tiger Head Mountain and stand before the Heaven and Earth Furnace to forge weapons, how good would that be?
Dong, dong, dong
However, just as everyone was staring at the Heaven and Earth Furnace, Fang Chen suddenly walked out slowly from the plains with strange movements.
"Senior Brother Fang Chen," Man Long called out.
However, Fang Chen ignored him, and his figure slowly stepped onto Tiger Head Mountain.
"Who is this person? Is he going to climb Tiger Head Mountain?"
Whispers traveled over from the plains.
Many people discovered that Fang Chen was only a low-level Heavenly Body Tier cultivator, and their faces were filled with disdain.
After a short while, Fang Chen arrived at the waist of the mountain. His clothes were already soaked, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
The closer one got to the Heaven and Earth Furnace, the higher the temperature in the surroundings.
Reaching the waist of the mountain was already the limit for high-level Heavenly Body Tier cultivators.
"Brat, this is not a place for you to come. Hurry up and leave."
A high-level Heavenly Body Tier cultivator said coldly.
Fang Chen ignored him, continuing to climb to the top like a walking corpse.
No one discovered that there was a sliver of golden luster on the surface of Fang Chen's skin, resisting the scorching heat of the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
"Brat, you dare to ignore me?!"
This high-level Heavenly Body Tier cultivator was very ashamed and furious that he was ignored.
Seeing that Fang Chen was still climbing, he clenched his fist and suddenly threw a punch.
Peng!
Caught off guard, Fang Chen was hit by the punch, and his body flew directly toward the Tiger Head Mountain like a kite.
Hu, hu
When his body flew to the Tiger Head Mountain, he was instantly sucked in by the terrifying suction force of the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
"Humph, falling into the Heaven and Earth Furnace, you'll definitely die," the cultivator who attacked sneered.
There was an uproar on the plains, and many cultivators whispered.
"This Armored Dragon Star Monarch is too narrow-minded. He actually attacked a low-level Heavenly Body Tier cultivator."
"Falling into the Heaven and Earth Furnace, looks like that brat is dead for sure."
"Yes, this Armored Dragon Star Monarch is really too much. He lowered his status to attack."
However, most cultivators were discussing in low voices, not daring to say anything.
After all, the Armored Dragon Star Monarch was very strong, and they didn't dare to offend him.
Seeing this, Man Long was furious and was about to attack.
However, he was stopped by Tie Yizun and Murong Bing.
"Why are you stopping me? Senior Brother Fang Chen has treated you well, and you're not going to help him?" Man Long asked in a low voice, his eyes wide.
"Man Long, don't act rashly," Tie Yizun said in a low voice.
Murong Bing also spoke up.
"The Armored Dragon Star Monarch is very strong. Even if the seven of us join forces, we're still no match for him. Don't throw your life away."
Under the obstruction of the six people, the impulsive Man Long finally calmed down.
"We must avenge Senior Brother Fang Chen," Man Long said coldly as his pitch-black eyes stared at the Armored Dragon Star Monarch who was halfway up Tiger Head Mountain.
"Don't worry, we won't forget Senior Brother Fang Chen's revenge."
The seven of them discussed for a while and quickly left this place.
The Heaven and Earth Furnace was too strong. With their strength, they could only watch the show.
Now, Senior Brother Fang Chen had been killed.
They couldn't wait to increase their strength so that they could avenge Fang Chen.
Not long after the seven of them left, the few high-level Heavenly Body Tier cultivators who were halfway up Tiger Head Mountain finally moved.
"Hahaha, since you're not willing to help, then let me test the power of this Heaven and Earth Furnace."
The Armored Dragon Star Monarch laughed loudly. His figure flashed, and he flew to the top of Tiger Head Mountain.
Floating above the Heaven and Earth Furnace, the Armored Dragon Star Monarch felt the terrifying flames in the furnace. The smile on his face disappeared.
A layer of golden light appeared around his body, resisting the scorching flames.
Then, he took out his weapon, a spear.
This spear was a Level Four Divine Weapon.
Without hesitation, he threw the spear into the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
Hu, hu, hu.
Suddenly, a great change happened in the Heaven and Earth Furnace. The flames that were spewing out were instantly restrained.
The top of Tiger Head Mountain instantly quieted down.
Seeing this scene, everyone gasped. Had the Heaven and Earth Furnace begun to smelt weapons?
On the plain, everyone was looking forward to seeing whether the smelting would succeed.
One minute, two minutes …
In the blink of an eye, 15 minutes had passed.
Xiu!
Suddenly, the Heaven and Earth Furnace opened again. A brilliant flame shot into the sky.
Fortunately, the Armored Dragon Star Monarch dodged quickly enough. Otherwise, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.
The powerful flame pierced the sky and finally disappeared.
Then, a brand new Divine Weapon floated out from within.
The spear was wrapped in a fiery red light, and it was extremely hot.
The Armored Dragon Star Monarch was overjoyed. He could clearly feel that the spear's aura had improved a lot.
"Did it succeed?"
The Armored Dragon Star Monarch waved his hand and directly grabbed the spear.
Xiu!
The Armored Dragon Star Monarch waved his hand, and the spear instantly cut through the void. A terrifying aura raged out.
"It succeeded."
On the plain, everyone exclaimed.
It really succeeded. The legend of the Heaven and Earth Furnace was true.
"Hahaha, it really succeeded."
Many people were shouting wildly. A few high-level Heavenly Body Tier cultivators on the mountainside also scrambled to climb to the top of the Tiger Head Mountain.
"Congratulations, Armored Dragon Star Monarch."
A few high-level Heavenly Body Tier cultivators clasped their fists and congratulated the Armored Dragon Star Monarch.
There was a huge gap between a Level Four Divine Weapon and a Level Five Divine Weapon. The Armored Dragon Star Monarch loved his spear very much.
The Armored Dragon Star Monarch put away his spear and walked down from the Heaven and Earth Furnace to let the other cultivators refine.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
On the Heaven and Earth Furnace, the high-level Heavenly Body Tier cultivators began to refine the Divine Weapon.
On the plain, many mid-level Heavenly Body Tier cultivators were also restless.
At this moment, inside the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
Fang Chen's body floated in the sea of fire. Fortunately, he had the protection of the golden heart. Otherwise, his body would have turned into ashes.
Fang Chen had fallen into a coma. However, the golden heart was unusually active.
Hiss, hiss, hiss …
If someone was here, they would definitely discover that the golden heart was excitedly absorbing the scorching flames in the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
At the same time, black flames surged out. The blood essence of the Undying Bird in the golden heart was also completely opened.
The blood essence of the Undying Bird could nurture the Undying Flame that even the ancient gods trembled in fear.
