Chapter 792: Chapter Eight Hundred and Twenty-Seven: The Eternal Black Stone is Too Strange

~7 min read 1,313 words

"Aren't you afraid it will trick us into going there and killing us?" Looking at Anthony flying boldly toward the depths of the forest, Lord Nai Ge asked in confusion.

"No fear, what is there to fear? In this plane, there cannot possibly be anything that even my lord cannot suppress. Besides, isn't there you?" Anthony said respectfully.

"Me? What does that have to do with me? You suddenly using honorifics, do you want to trap me?" Lord Nai Ge said warily.

"How could that be? I mean you can go scout the path first, and once we confirm there is no danger, we will go down." Anthony laughed.

"Pah! I curse you..." Before he could finish, Anthony covered his mouth.

"My lord Nai Ge, you can't curse me anymore. Last time you cursed me to have no toilet paper, it really trapped me badly." Anthony said with lingering fear.

Lord Nai Ge froze: "When did I curse you to have no toilet paper when pooping?"

"Chapter Six Hundred and Sixty-Three." Anthony said.

Lord Nai Ge went back to look, and sure enough, it was there. Immediately, curiosity arose: "Did that curse take effect? What did you use to wipe your butt later?"

"Holy Light, what else could I use?" Anthony said irritably.

"Serves you right for using me to scout the path. Agreed, this time I'm not going. That ghost thing can attack consciousness; getting hit isn't a joke." Lord Nai Ge said.

While complaining, Lord Nai Ge still trusted Anthony quite a bit, not thinking he would risk himself. If he did, it must have been out of necessity, or there was simply no better way.

Arriving at the location the Flesh Giant mentioned, they saw a huge pit leading vertically underground. If it were that kind of karst landform, this would be a sinkhole formed by water erosion, but the terrain here was clearly not karst; it was estimated to be something that had drilled out.

Anthony was indeed just joking; he directly summoned a Holy Spirit and threw it in. This wasn't an environment like the Chaos Plane that could interfere with soul projections; anything capable of projecting consciousness could conduct remote reconnaissance.

However, Anthony's Holy Spirit was merely a lead; the specifics still depended on Seeing Ange. After he summoned the Holy Spirit, Seeing Ange summoned a swarm of wandering souls, which surged into the sinkhole with a whoosh.

As soon as they descended, they discovered something different.

"The surroundings of this sinkhole are all pitch black. Could this be the so-called Eternal Black Stone?" Projecting onto Seeing Ange's body, sharing his vision.

Silver Coin flew into the sinkhole immediately, dug up a piece of black stone, returned, and presented it to Seeing Ange.

Anthony, who reacted half a step too slowly, patted his thigh regretfully and muttered: "So fast, truly worthy of being Silver Coin."

Seeing Ange held the Eternal Black Stone, squeezed it a few times, then looked up in surprise. He observed the black stone carefully, then broke it open. Inside the black stone, numerous pores were revealed, resembling the interior of a sponge.

Lord Nai Ge wanted to take half of it, but as soon as he received it, he felt a tremendous weight, causing it to slip from his hand and smash onto the ground.

The scene was so awkward; everyone stared at it in shock.

"Are you capable or not?" Anthony asked.

"You're the one incapable! I wasn't paying attention for a moment and didn't expect it to be so heavy, just like gold." Lord Nai Ge said sheepishly, landing on the ground to pick up the black stone again.

This plain black stone, with numerous Kong Dong inside like a sponge, should originally be lighter than normal stone, yet it felt heavier than metal in hand. If its interior were solid, wouldn't it be several times heavier than gold?

Lord Nai Ge misjudged the weight; dropping it was normal.

After picking it up again, Lord Nai Ge immediately sensed more abnormalities. For instance, its texture was not the cold, hard feeling of metal; instead, it had a leathery, keratinous touch, and rubbing it produced powder.

But that was all; that was as much as he could discern.

On the contrary, Seeing Ange studied it for a while, then directly ignited fire to forge it. Massive fire elements gathered and were directly infused into the stone block.

Seeing Ange's current strength was already among the very top in the entire void. With just a casual movement, the fire elements around him were instantly sucked dry, reaching a state of elemental depletion.

However, with such a massive influx of fire elements, the black stone obviously became extremely hot, as the air above it had become so hot that it began to distort.

But that was all; the stone did not turn red or melt, showing no changes whatsoever. If it were ordinary stone, it would likely have turned into lava by now.

"What's going on? Did the fire elements fail? That doesn't seem right; it looks scalding." Lord Nai Ge stretched out a toe to poke it, but before even touching it, he couldn't bear it. At a distance of two or three centimeters, the scales began to curl.

This made him unable to help but exclaim: "This must be three or four thousand degrees, right?"

"Three thousand six hundred and seventeen degrees." Seeing Ange said. He measured it with the Ring of Scales, precise down to the unit.

"How is that possible? I don't recall any stone or metal that can withstand such high temperatures. You should pull out Old Du and ask him. Even alchemical materials couldn't withstand such high temperatures." Lord Nai Ge said.

Seeing Ange pulled out Du Luo Ken. Du Luo Ken said in surprise: "Over three thousand six hundred degrees? That high? Definitely not. Moreover, this isn't even the limit; its form hasn't changed, so it can probably withstand even higher temperatures. What material is this? I'll go dig some up."

Even the King of Alchemy had never seen a substance capable of withstanding such high temperatures; who else had seen it?

"Is this a conductor? Let Ounas take a look?" Lord Nai Ge suggested.

Ounas was originally just a Lei Ting Titan, but since Anthony loved creating checks and balances the most, elevating the status of one Lei Ting Titan above that of the Golden Titans, those Golden Titans flowing with divine blood naturally would not submit. Thus, Ounas could only rely on Anthony's support.

This was no longer a scheme; it had become a habit cultivated by Anthony.

Ounas came out, took a look, and said: "The resistance is extremely high. I cannot do it alone. Please, my lord, summon all the Titans. I will form the head."

All the Titans were summoned. Under Ounas's command, they joined the force field one by one.

When the tenth Titan joined the force field, it finally pierced through the resistance within the black stone, and the stone instantly exploded into fragments.

No good. This method failed; nothing was learned from it.

Everyone came up with various strategies, thinking of a huge number of methods, but none could do anything to this strange black stone.

"How about we find Tom and Luoloka to try? The moment they ignite their light points, the temperature is extremely high, possibly exceeding three thousand degrees." Lord Nai Ge suggested.

Seeing Ange nodded. Just as he was preparing to summon a Pure Water Spirit, the eyes on the Flesh Giant's head opened again: "Are you sick? I have been waiting down here for so long, yet you are here studying stones?"

Anthony said without turning his head: "Wait. This stone is too strange; it is far more important than you. This is the Eternal Black Stone, isn't it? You were suppressed by it?"
