Chapter 385: Catalysis

Sea and sky were dark.

Above the storm, the Eye of Great Calamity was still expanding at a jaw-dropping speed, setting off one spreading wave after another.

Looking down from high altitude, the terrifying flood, like ripples, turned into a tide, washing over the already fragile present world again and again.

Every tremor made people’s hearts jump.

One didn’t know when all this would completely fall apart.

"Getting closer and closer to the vortex!"

"The degree of overlap is deepening further..."

In the pale space, the report suppressing anxiety continued, until a shout that could not be restrained with excitement interrupted the oppressive atmosphere:

"T5 sent a message————The Heavenly Track will maintain the situation to ensure the present world is not lost!"

In an instant, cheers rang out, and everyone couldn’t help but want to dance.

But the old man’s expression remained severe.

Gloomy.

With the situation collapsing to this extent, could the Heavenly Track still be in time? Under the premise of maintaining the Shadow Sun blockade, how much more power could be mobilized?

"At this point, we can no longer count on the Heavenly Track to turn the tide..."

The old man sighed hoarsely and raised his voice: "Prepare the Light-Gathering Foundation to store energy. In necessary situations, actively strip away that area, and before it

falls into the vortex, completely annihilate it."

Everyone turned back in astonishment, unable to believe it.

Immediately after... the alarm stopped abruptly!

Countless abnormal parameters instantly returned to normal.

In the massive projection, that spreading darkness suddenly stalled, and the tottering Rift Realm actually stopped in place incredibly...

As if it were held up by an invisible palm!

Clenched tight.

Just like that, it contended with the terrifying gravitational force from the vortex, not allowing any shaking or collapse.

In that instant, in the deepest part of the lightless darkness, amidst the howling storm, thunder crossed.

It illuminated a thin figure standing in the void above the firmament.

The face was blurred, difficult to see with the naked eye.

But the white clothes fluttering like flags snapped loudly. The moment the cane in his hand tapped the air, visible ripples spread in the void.

Disturbing the rain, setting off a storm, and reversing the firmament!

A tiny cane, like debris stuck in the hub of operation, caused the invisible gears to suddenly stall, and the overlap between the vortex and the present world stopped abruptly!

Turning the tide at the crucial moment!

Scorching intense light emerged from the cane, winding and wandering, like a brand-new Heavenly Pillar, supporting between the sea and the sky, stabilizing the universe!

It was hard to imagine that such magnificent power would appear in someone’s palm.

But what was exaggerated was... at this very moment, such magnificent and surging power could not take away even half of that figure’s style.

Any witness would find it extremely difficult to move their gaze away from that thin figure.

Right above his head, in the absolute darkness of Great Calamity, the brilliant light of the stars rose again, converged, and poured down like firewood, falling toward the mortal world like a waterfall.

The image of the Heavenly Furnace appeared!

"Leave it to me."

In the pale space, just when everyone was stunned, a low voice rang out.

Like a needle to calm the sea.

Instantly, the situation stabilized.

"He, Heavenly Furnace?!" The old man was overjoyed.

"Great!"

"It’s actually Heavenly Furnace!" Others were immediately overjoyed: "We are saved!"

"No ti...me to chat..."

As if separated by strong interference, Heavenly Furnace’s voice was intermittent: "Everything... is with me, temporarily no need to... worry, let Ellis and Pompey’s speed, be a little faster...

A little faster..."

Before the communication was cut off, the last thing that came was a weary sigh that could not bear the heavy burden.

"The situation is a bit troublesome."

Snap!

On the back of Heavenly Furnace’s hand, a crack appeared silently...

In times of crisis, turning the tide!

No matter who it was, before seeing this scene, it was hard to imagine—that someone could actually, with his own strength, forcibly insert himself between the vortex and the present world, separate the two, and drag the entire Rift Realm that was about to fall into the vortex!

From the realm of Great Calamity, he opened up the foundation of the Supreme Good again.

Even compared to that infinite darkness, this wisp of firewood pillar was so thin and small. But just the moment of manifestation made the sneaky figures in the darkness stiffen in place, subconsciously retreating.

"Heavenly Furnace..."

In the deepest part of the darkness, a venomous whisper came, and immediately after, one bizarre figure after another lurking in the darkness appeared.

Eyes scarlet, malice like a tide.

And right among them, two massive outlines wriggling like long worms had actually surrounded Heavenly Furnace at some point, completely encircling him!

But looking closely, those bizarre worm-like bodies were actually pieced together from human figures resembling silhouettes, as if a chaotic timeline had overlapped the main bodies together, pulling out a residual shadow with no end from the chaotic void and time...

And right at the 'heads' of those two wriggling worms, two thin figures rose from the darkness, their faces resembling twin brothers.

The fish that slipped through the net of the Star Core Association’s roundup, the disordered calamity of the Shadow Sun, and there were two of them!

Right behind those two time worms, in the surrounding misty darkness, countless outlines seemed to change, vaguely converging into a constantly changing human figure, difficult to fix—there was actually a filthy-dyeing demon that had almost gone extinct!

It was not just these few who stood out. In that darkness of Great Calamity, who knew how many calamity-stricken people had been attracted to gather, and how many orioles were hiding among them, wanting to take advantage of the chaos.

"I didn’t expect that a piece of rotten meat could attract so many flies."

Heavenly Furnace sighed lightly, glancing at the source of those cold gazes, and suddenly, smiled mockingly: "It’s just... neither advancing nor retreating, why is that?"

In an instant, the darkness rioted.

Who knew how many scarlet eyes lit up.

The two time worms that were intertwined and shrouded Heavenly Furnace suddenly expanded, killing intent ferocious, and right around Heavenly Furnace, the traces of the filthy-dyeing demon appeared and disappeared, smiling contemptuously.

"I heard that although Heavenly Furnace rarely takes action, he is revered as the Ember Sage closest to the position of the Supreme Good General Controller in a thousand years. Seeing it today, it is indeed extraordinary, truly powerful!"

The sound of clapping rang out, admiring yet mocking.

"However, I am curious... now that you are maintaining the present world, how much spare power do you have left to bluff people?"

Heavenly Furnace was silent, speechless.

Just puzzled, he lifted his eyes and glanced over.

Who is barking?

For a moment, the whole world seemed to freeze instantly, everyone’s eyes blurred, and in the sudden change, shrill screams rang out.

BOOM!!!

A colorful, wriggling soft-bodied monster appeared out of thin air from the darkness, flying backward, and ink-colored, viscous like blood, sprayed out from

the crack on its body, uncontrollable.

The filthy-dyeing demon hiding in the void was actually injured in an instant.

It was not just that...

Of the two giant worms, one was missing out of thin air.

The other let out a scream like mourning a funeral!

A wound suddenly appeared on Heavenly Furnace’s chest, a penetrating hole.

Injured!

And in his other empty hand, an oil lamp appeared inexplicably.

Inside the simple yet bizarre oil lamp, there was an extra shadow resembling a worm, swimming in fear in the lamp fire, unable to break free.

It could only struggle in vain, being burned by the lamp fire, making a hissing sound.

Bursts of shrill wailing came from the faint light.

Soon, there was no sound.

"Don’t misunderstand. Even if most of the strength is used to maintain the stability of the present world, dealing with trash like you... is not troublesome."

Heavenly Furnace didn’t care about the scars on his chest, lowering his eyes contemptuously: "Who is next?"

"Or, let’s be straightforward..."

Just like that, one hand supporting the cane maintaining the present world, the other hand lifted, hooking his fingers toward the darkness.

He said:

"Come together!"

No need for words, and no need for nonsense.

The contemporary sage, the craftsman ranked at the peak of the Embers, the strongest Heavenly Furnace in history, struck fiercely!

Thus, intense light burst forth in the darkness.

Heaven and earth shook!

"Tsk..."

Inside the Rift Realm, Ji Jue lifted his eyes expressionlessly, looking at the scene outside—the magnificent figure holding the Rift Realm, maintaining the present world, covering the sky with one hand, and suppressing all darkness...

He couldn’t help but want to go out and give him two big slaps!

Old dog, what are you pretending for?

Maintaining the present world, separating the vortex... the battle formation is so big, the special effects are so many, did it cost you half a bit of effort?!

And with such a small movement, it could still make you get hurt?

Ji Jue didn’t believe it.

Others couldn’t see it, but could Heavenly Furnace not see that this was his cheap junior brother’s design?

Can’t see there is a problem inside?

Moreover, he just intended to dump the snakes, insects, rats, and ants into a cesspit after attracting them together, not to poke a hole in the present world. Otherwise, if the Heavenly Track was damaged, what would the President do?

Now the control of the entire ritual is in his hands, what is the use of the vortex and the present world overlapping so closely?

Whether the Rift Realm falls or not, isn’t it up to him?

But this dog thing has an acting addiction, and he started acting!

Acting is fine, but he even let the lighting props cooperate...

That glance toward the Rift Realm when he was pretending just now, ten thousand percent, was looking at him!

Even, it was not just looking.

At this moment, in the massive structure covering the entire Rift Realm, in the countless spiritual quality circuits, it actually changed vaguely.

In the complex agitation of countless spiritual qualities, the noise actually followed the conduction of the sequence and was strangely sent to Ji Jue’s eyes, falling into his perception, turning into a very precise signal.

That is the rune in alchemy, a variant evolved from the emblem of Supreme Good·Entropy, representing the explosion after stagnation.

The technical term it refers to is called [Catalysis].

Just like the comments left by a teacher when checking homework.

Made guidance and direction.

The heat is ready, and the extraction is imminent.

You can add heavy ingredients!

If applied to the current situation, the meaning is straightforward and clear.

I’ll cover the bottom, you do whatever you want.

No matter what you want to do, I want to see blood flowing like a river!

He didn’t care what happened at all, nor did he care what the consequences would be if Ji Jue played it wrong, he just sat at the table and started ordering dishes.

No, in this world, how can there be a dog thing that is annoying to this

extent?

But there is one point that Ji Jue agrees with, and he does not oppose it at all.

It is indeed time to add some heavy ingredients...

"...Fine, then let the blood flow like a river!"

Ji Jue lifted his hand expressionlessly, grabbing toward the world in front of him, triggering, finally, the change,

The sacrifice and accumulation are enough.

Although it is earlier than expected, since someone is willing to cover the bottom and pay the bill, Ji Jue will naturally not be polite...

All of you, go to hell!

In that instant, in the very center of the sacrificial temple, the sound of wild laughter soared into the sky.

In the chaotic battle, the scarred Xie He suddenly flashed, not hesitating to take Duke Anguo’s full-force strike, suffering heavy injuries.

But he finally grasped this crucial opportunity, crossing the final distance.

A wisp of bizarre green light sprayed from his mouth, and the Rotten Scale Poison, which had been bred for a long time, tore through the final protection above the hall, broke through the gate, and unveiled the final curtain.

Like a court.

Right inside the hall, the solemn throne still stood at the highest point, as if waiting for the courtiers to kowtow and have an audience, but eternity had ended, the Empire had collapsed, and the courtiers were nowhere to be found.

Majesty and glory had already gone far away.

Only on the throne, an ancient and gorgeous box quietly bathed in dust, admiring the vivid ugly state of life-and-death among the rebellious ministers and thieves.

Not saying a word.

"The Imperial Seal..."

Xie He’s pupils lit up, no longer caring about the roars and growls behind him, ecstatic, flying up.

Just a little bit!

Just a little bit, and he would be able to take this supreme heavenly work that controls the unfinished tower and the Supreme Good Heavenly Origin into his arms... but this line, it was like a heavenly abyss!

Out of reach.

Right in mid-air, a winding black line extended from the sacrificial temple, silently entangling around his ankle.

It was like a palm, clenched tight!

The distorted Laws of Heavenly Origin instantly suppressed the changes of the wolf blood. Under the coverage of the shadow of the tower, it showed a targeted nature like a natural enemy, fundamentally, unable to escape.

And then, in the stunned expressions of everyone, it pulled Xie He, swung him, and lifted him to the highest point...

BOOM!!!

Xie He didn’t even have time to scream before he was smashed into the jade steps of the square, smashing the steps carved from flawless jade into two pieces, sinking into the depression.

And then, the black line pulled again, swung again, and smashed again!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The loud noises were continuous, endless. Under the violent swinging and smashing, the square was instantly filled with depressions and dark green blood stains and even meat mud.

Until with a crisp sound, it completely swung Xie He into

two pieces, and after completely crushing that leg into meat mud, the earth-shaking loud noise erupted from beneath the sacrificial temple!

One, two, ten, a hundred, a thousand...

Countless black lines pulled one wailing residual shadow after another, reappearing from beneath the earth, but at this moment, the black lines dancing all over the sky, under the guidance of an invisible hand, converged, intertwined, and pulled the power of the entire Rift Realm, condensing into shape again.

Using the entire Rift Realm as a furnace, using non-attack as fire, rebuilding such a massive sacrificial temple!

Under the irrigation of massive death and souls, from this massive sacrifice, the monster created by Ji Jue finally appeared in front of everyone!

The Rift Realm was suddenly silent.

Everyone widened their eyes, unable to breathe.

It was as if an invisible mirror suddenly appeared between heaven and earth.

The incomplete tower hanging high above the firmament cast a bizarre reflection on the earth.

One bizarre shadow after another wailed and wriggled, turning into bricks and stones, piling up the foundation of the tower.

All the taboos of the sacrificial temple were constructed into substance, turning into the iron wall of the tower. Immediately after, all the faces of the dead wailed and shed blood tears, appearing from the high tower as embellishments...

Amidst the intertwining of ten million black lines, the pitch-black tower rose from the ground, standing between heaven and earth!

Finally, a wisp of bizarre flame light lit up from the top of the pitch-black tower, the flames looking like eyes, looking down cruelly, looking at those ants and dust that didn’t know their own strength.

The massacre, starting here!
