My All-Heavens Chat Group-Chapter 517 - 22: Destroying the Innate Treasure_3
"Hongmeng’s tracks have been found. Besides him, there are two empresses: one is Empress Jiuxuan, the other is the War God Clan Empress. No other powerhouses detected!"
The Three-eyed Demon Emperor immediately relayed the message and then continued to follow Hongmeng from afar in secret.
With his comprehension of the Void Path and possession of the Void Demon Eye, even Zhan Lianxue and Empress Jiuxuan were completely unaware that they were being tracked.
However, although the Three-eyed Demon Emperor was adept at stealthy tracking, he couldn’t fool Hongmeng.
Getting smart, preparing to band together? Hongmeng chuckled inwardly, deciding not to expose the Three-eyed Demon Emperor and allowing him to follow.
This time, he was going to play it big.
What’s the fun in annihilating just ten or eight Demon Emperors? If he was going to annihilate, he’d wipe out a hundred and eighty.
"How come we haven’t encountered a single Demon Emperor after so long?" After a while, Zhan Lianxue wondered with a puzzled expression.
The Imperial-level Battlefield was large, but there were also many Demon Emperors. It was impossible not to encounter any.
"Maybe they were scared off by Brother Hong, or they’re huddling together for warmth; hence, it’s normal that we haven’t come across any Demon Emperors." Empress Jiuxuan smiled slightly. Through their interactions, she found that not only was Hongmeng very powerful, but he also had no airs about him, was humorous, and quite entertaining. He even occasionally cracked some racy jokes that left her both embarrassed and amused. She was very happy.
"They really are huddling together for warmth!" Hongmeng knew the reason they hadn’t encountered any Demon Emperors was that those Demon Emperors already knew his location and were avoiding him. Moreover, they were gathering, waiting for the day they had enough forces to launch an attack on him.
"If that’s the case, once we encounter them, it won’t be just ten or eight Demon Emperors, but dozens, perhaps even hundreds!"
"Correct! They’re already here!" Hongmeng lifted his head and suddenly spoke.
"What? They’re here?" Zhan Lianxue and Empress Jiuxuan were shocked, their expressions immediately turning solemn.
BOOM.
Just then, the void collapsed, and an extremely dazzling light burst forth, transforming into a brass furnace.
The Brass Furnace, sparkling and translucent, grew from one inch tall to towering into the sky in the blink of an eye, reaching a million miles high, with flames that shot up to the heavens.
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE! The furnace shook, and a tsunami-like sound suddenly erupted, immense and making one’s ears buzz.
The lid of the Brass Furnace glimmered brilliantly. Although made of brass, it appeared almost transparent like colored glaze, with the fierce flames burning inside clearly visible.
CRACK! The lid of the Brass Furnace moved, the colored glaze light dazzling as the lid slid open abruptly. Instantly, flames reached for the sky—a swath of intense, multicolored Lihuo flames burst forth.
The incredibly terrifying temperature caused the void to warp; even the Laws of the Path were incinerated. As the Brass Furnace stood in mid-air, on a nearby green peak, a cascading waterfall was instantly evaporated, turning into mist that rolled in all directions.
The hair-raising heat, even from a great distance, made one sweat profusely, as if their flesh and blood were about to desiccate. Zhan Lianxue and Empress Jiuxuan both felt an intense heat, as if their bodies were going to ignite spontaneously. If those flames fell upon them, they would probably be reduced to ash instantly. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
The Brass Furnace, like a great mountain, descended, unleashing overwhelming flames to suppress Hongmeng. The entire sky filled with a crimson glow.
Zhan Lianxue and Empress Jiuxuan felt immense pressure. These flames could incinerate souls and bones, refine flesh, and obliterate everything around them!
But when they looked at Hongmeng, sitting calmly between them, as stable as Tai Mountain and unflustered, their anxious hearts instantly calmed.
They had a blind confidence. As long as Hongmeng was there, even if the sky fell, he could prop it up with his shoulders.
Without hesitation, Hongmeng pointed a finger toward the Brass Furnace.
CLANG!
That single finger strike was like a pillar supporting the heavens, directly hitting the Brass Furnace. The sound, like a dragon splitting the sky, was far-reaching, causing creatures in the surrounding Imperial-level Battlefield to bleed from their ears as if slashed by a sword. Countless beings screamed in pain, covering their ears as they were blown away by the invisible sonic waves—a fearsome sight.
This Brass Furnace was a top-tier Innate Treasure. Moreover, it was being driven to its extreme by the joint efforts of many Demon Emperors, unleashing power that shook the heavens and the earth, comparable to a strike from a Supreme One.
Yet, what was even more shocking was that such a fearsome Brass Furnace had been flicked away by Hongmeng with a single finger. He had even left a finger-deep hole on the furnace. This was a top-tier Innate Treasure, yet it had been pierced by a finger!
"How is this possible?" The numerous Demon Emperors operating the furnace were dumbfounded. They hadn’t expected Hongmeng to be the same terrifying expert who had consecutively slain their Abyssal Dimension Demon Emperors.
"This youth is too horrifying! Invincible at Emperor level on the Emperor-level Battlefield. Having just ascended to Emperor Level, his combat power is already this frightening. If this continues, he will inevitably become a great enemy of our Abyssal Dimension. He must be eliminated today!"
"Exactly!"
"This time we’ve gathered twelve hundred Demon Emperors! We could even battle a Supreme One. Even if Hongmeng is monstrously talented, he must die!"
One after another, the Demon Emperors spoke up and once again urged the Brass Furnace to suppress downwards.
BOOM!
Flames like a waterfall cascaded down from the furnace, rolling towards Hongmeng. The crimson glow filled the heavens; all that met the eye was brilliant red.
All around, the void, the Rules, the Path... everything was being incinerated.
Endless multicolored Lihuo flames boiled and tumbled. Nothing else existed between heaven and earth; everywhere was bathed in red light.
"You really think some broken furnace can suppress me?"
"Watch me poke a hole through your lousy furnace!"
Hongmeng formed a sword with his fingers and pointed, striking the massive Brass Furnace. In an instant, he unleashed millions of finger strikes. Only the sharp afterimages of countless finger strikes could be seen in the sky.
A piercing sound echoed between heaven and earth. The Brass Furnace, under the assault, spewed sparks in all directions, and golden light shot skyward. Such terrifying power made Empress Jiuxuan’s and Zhan Lianxue’s hearts pound with trepidation.
DANG! DANG! DANG!...
The rapid sounds were like a tempest, stirring the blood. Zhan Lianxue’s and Empress Jiuxuan’s fists clenched tightly, their bodies tensed.
Just then, Hongmeng unleashed one final, forceful finger strike.
This final finger strike seemed to traverse time and space, spanning myriad ages, piercing the river of time, and penetrating beyond past, present, and the heavens.
This finger strike astounded time itself and overwhelmed heaven and earth.
Zhan Lianxue and Empress Jiuxuan trembled all over.
This finger strike seemed not to land on the Brass Furnace, but rather to pierce into their very hearts and minds, engraving itself deep within their souls.
BOOM.
A world-shaking explosion swept through the heavens and earth. The Brass Furnace, a top-tier Innate Treasure, directly exploded; Hongmeng had pierced it apart.
A terrifying storm swept in all directions. Dozens of Demon Emperors were instantly turned to dust in the explosion, and hundreds more were wounded.
All the hidden Demon Emperors were revealed, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
The top-tier Innate Treasure, the Lihuo Brass Furnace, had actually been blasted to pieces by Hongmeng barehanded!!!
It was simply unbelievable.
"So strong!" Zhan Lianxue stared blankly at Hongmeng, her whole body going limp.
However, when she saw the dense crowd of over a thousand Demon Emperors surrounding them, she was stunned once more. So many Demon Emperors! And most terrifyingly, even with so many Demon Emperors activating an Innate Treasure, Hongmeng had still blown it apart!
