Chapter 1058

Clang!!!

A sound that pierced metal and split stone, as if it could stab through the abyss, the sword's cry exploded! This was no longer the wail of bones, but the proclamation of a divine weapon just forged in the furnace!

The Myriad Bones Giant Sword burst forth with unprecedented power, tearing free from the scorching rock wall! Crimson gold and dark gold light swirled around the blade, carrying the scorching heat that could burn the eight wastes and the heavy feeling of tearing the earth, transforming into a crimson-dark meteor that ripped through darkness, shooting violently toward Han Wuxian, who was engulfed by the chaotic magma flow and embedded in the rock wall below!

Pfft!

The sword hilt, with perfect precision, ruthlessly pierced the bone hand that Han Wuxian instinctively reached out, a hand covered in newly born dark gold patterns!

A surge of power hotter than lava and mightier than the earth veins instantly rushed through the hilt and surged into Han Wuxian's shattered body!

Ergah!!!

Han Wuxian's remaining consciousness let out a silent roar! This was not pain, but the extreme sensation of being swollen to bursting as power was forcibly infused and his body was forcibly stretched open!

The Myriad Bones Giant Sword became a bridge! It poured the earth-fire essence and earth vein power it had drawn from the abyss, along with its own reforged, amplified power, unreservedly and violently into Han Wuxian's body!

Crimson gold! Dark gold! Silver radiance!

Three kinds of light, each differing in nature yet all containing terrifying power, with the Myriad Bones Giant Sword as their core, began the final and most perilous fusion within Han Wuxian's body, which was on the verge of collapse!

His bones underwent further transformation, the dark gold hue deepening like an abyss, the cracks vanishing, replaced by natural Dao patterns that seemed to carry the earth's veins, perfectly formed! The divine metal power of crimson gold, no longer confined to the arteries of his arms, surged like scalding blood along the newly born dark gold 'conduits' throughout his body!

The silver clear radiance of the Star Hub Fragment, like the toughest thread, wove between the crimson gold and dark gold, forcibly harmonizing the clash of the two violent forces, and imprinted a faint whisper of stellar will within!

His body became a living furnace!

Earth fire as fuel, the abyss as anvil, divine metal as bone, starlight as meridian!

At the moment this violent fusion reached its peak, Han Wuxian felt he was about to be blown apart by this terrifying power and reduced to ashes!

Boom!

Behind the rock wall where he was embedded, due to the violent energy impact and erosion of earth fire, it suddenly collapsed inward, revealing a huge opening that exhaled an even more ancient, scorching heat!

An irresistible suction emanated from within the cave!

Han Wuxian, together with his hand holding the Myriad Bones Giant Sword that blazed with boundless light and whose aura continually rose, was helplessly dragged by this suction into the depths, instantly vanishing amidst the erupting magma and darkness!

The cave mouth was immediately sealed again by collapsing rock and flowing magma.

Beneath the abyss, only the eternal roar of earth fire remained, along with the lingering scorching heat and sharp aura left by the newly born divine weapon!

Inside the cave, it was not the imagined lava pool.

But a colossal, almost unimaginable natural furnace, as if it had hollowed out an entire underwater mountain range!

The vaulted ceiling stretched beyond sight, covered with hanging stalactites dripping dark-red lava. Below lay an endless, slowly rotating sea of dark gold lava, viscous like liquid metal! This lava was not pure earth fire; it contained an earth vein essence so rich it could not be dissolved, heavy as mountains!

The furnace's four walls were not stone, but a black substance older still, shimmering with an exotic metallic luster, covered in massive, natural patterns as mysterious and complex as stellar orbits, which, as the lava sea below rotated, emitted a flickering faint light.

Han Wuxian hovered at the center of this great furnace, below a churning sea of dark gold lava, above a rain of falling molten rock. The Myriad Bones Giant Sword remained firmly embedded in his bone hand, point downward, its blade flashing crimson gold and dark gold light like breathing, greedily drawing the furnace's purest earth vein and fire power to the extreme, and through the hilt continuously pouring it into Han Wuxian's body!

The light of the Star Hub Fragment stabilized considerably, no longer flashing wildly, but like a precise hub, orderly guiding the three forces of crimson gold, dark gold, and silver radiance to circulate, merge, and settle within Han Wuxian's reborn body.

With each cycle, his bones, covered in dark gold Dao patterns, became a bit more solid; the 'vasculature' flowing with crimson gold molten liquid grew a bit tougher; the light of the Star Hub Fragment grew a bit brighter. The terrifying scorch marks burned into his skin by the earth fire are peeling away at a visible speed, revealing the newly born skin beneath, faintly shining with a metallic sheen.

Though still covered in wounds, it now holds an unprecedented sense of power.

A deep, earth‑like heavy vitality is slowly and firmly reviving within this battered shell. The end of destruction is rebirth; the abyssal furnace has become his nest of nirvana.

However, this furnace is not dead.

Deep within the slowly rotating dark gold magma sea beneath Han Wuxian, a shadow vast enough to inspire despair, seemingly drawn to this newborn 'fire seed', is silently rising…

Inside the furnace, time seems to lose meaning. Only the slow rotation of the dark gold magma sea below, the eternal drip of molten rock from the dome, and Han Wuxian's internal energy circulation—steady and powerful like the earth's pulse—remain.

Crimson gold surges like a river of molten lava, flowing endlessly along the sturdy 'riverbed' built of dark gold; wherever it passes, flesh and blood are reborn, bones become as steel.

The silver radiance of the Star Hub Fragment acts like a precise net, harmonizing the clash of the two violent forces, and deeply imprinting a faint yet eternal star‑will within this newborn shell.

With each cycle, his aura grows a bit richer; the dark gold Dao patterns covering his bones deepen a bit; the crimson gold light in the 'vasculature' retracts a bit; the faint metallic sheen on his skin warms and moistens a bit.

The Myriad Bones Giant Sword, like greedy roots, plunges deep into the dark gold magma sea below, drawing the vast earth‑fire essence, then through its hilt transforms into a pure surge of life that nourishes Han Wuxian, the 'iron tree' reborn in the destructive furnace.

The newborn sense of power fills every corner; the tearing agony has been replaced by a deep, earth‑like revival of numbness and heat. Consciousness, like a seed dormant for eons, finally breaks through the warm, fertile soil.

Just as Han Wuxian's eyelashes were about to twitch

Boom!!

The dark gold magma sea below, which had been slowly rotating, suddenly surged into a towering wave without warning!

A shadow vast enough to choke finally broke free of the viscous magma's bonds and fully appeared in Han Wuxian's 'field of view'!

It was not a living thing, yet it was more shocking than any living being!

It resembled a moving mountain, composed of countless huge, angular dark‑gold metal blocks and black stone flowing with lava! Its form lay between that of a giant turtle and the skeleton of some primeval beast, its carapace towering like mountain ranges, its jagged metal spinal spikes like sky‑reaching spears, with lava flowing across it tracing arcane patterns.

It had no obvious head; only at the front of its 'body' lay a huge, hollow 'core' made of countless irregular dark‑gold crystals. Within that core now burned two clusters of deep, icy, soul‑freezing azure flames.

This is the spirit of the furnace slumbering here.

Or rather, it is the incarnation of the will nurtured for eons by this earth‑core furnace! It is the guardian of the earth's veins and the manifestation of this place's immense power!
