Chapter 795: Burned to Nothing
Ang jumped over and used a Spatial Solidification.
However, the Spatial Solidification only held for seven seconds before it couldn't bear the pressure and shattered. Rolling heat radiated outward, accompanied by a dazzling, intense light. The intensity of the light was extremely high because the Spatial Solidification had solidified seven full seconds of light and heat, which now burst out all at once after it shattered.
The surrounding plants and soil immediately caught fire, rapidly turning into charred black, and rolled outward as it expanded.
Negris and Anthony, who had long since hidden far away, were still scorched by the heat wave; their fur and scales were instantly charred, provoking them to simultaneously manifest their consciousness bodies.
"Ku Ba Da, why is the temperature so high? How many degrees must this be?" Negris asked, shocked.
This kind of temperature had already exceeded its cognition. This was not a temperature that could be reached under normal conditions; normal lava was only seven hundred to one thousand two hundred degrees, and the flames of the God of Forging were only one thousand seven or eight hundred degrees.
The three thousand six hundred-plus degrees generated by Ang just now when he drained the surrounding fire elements and poured them into the black stone was already a rare high temperature in the world, which, apart from some secret techniques of Ancient Gods or Fire-type Law Gods, could barely be achieved.
Because they had a rough cognition, Anthony and the others had hidden at a distance they considered safe. At this distance, let alone three thousand six hundred degrees, they wouldn't be scorched; even if the Ancient Black Stone exploded, it wouldn't affect them at all.
But the matter had far exceeded everyone's expectations. The extreme high temperature had scorched them directly. Although there was the accumulation effect of Spatial Solidification, it had far exceeded everyone's cognition. This was absolutely not an effect that could be reached by a few thousand degrees.
Ang scratched his head and, for the first time, said with some hesitation, "Ten... million, now... six thousand."
Negris was dumbfounded. "One thousand? Impossible. Ten thousand? There were ten thousand degrees just now? That high?"
Ang scratched his head and corrected, "Lit up, ten million degrees; now, six thousand."
"Pfft... Ten million degrees? Ten million degrees at the moment it lit up? What kind of joke are you making? Did you see it wrong? Or is your Ring of Balance broken?" Negris almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
One thousand, ten thousand, it could understand; what the hell was ten million?
A farmer who had never seen one thousand yuan, suddenly seeing ten million smashed in front of him, would probably feel about the same as Negris did now. This was a number that was completely impossible to understand and had already exceeded its cognition.
Ang shook his head; he didn't know either, but this was indeed what the Ring of Balance had measured. It was just that the duration was very short; only at the moment it lit up, when Tom and Luoluo Ka said it "burned on its own," did it reach this temperature, after which it dropped rapidly, and now it was maintained at around six thousand degrees.
Anthony and Negris looked at each other. Facing this number that exceeded their cognition, they didn't know how to react.
At this time, Du Luo Ken, who had been silent, suddenly said, "When I was just learning alchemy, I once heard a theory that all matter in the world can burn, as long as its temperature is high enough. Now that this pitch-black stone is burning, could it be that the temperature is high enough?"
"There's such a theory? Why haven't I heard of it?" Negris asked, surprised.
Du Luo Ken said, "What era was it when I learned alchemy? You were probably still an egg at that time. I remember it seemed to be 'Sixty-four Conjectures of Ultimate Thermodynamic Alchemy'."
Anthony frowned and thought for a while, and a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face. "I seem to have seen this alchemy book. Inside were some inexplicable descriptions, and one of them was: 'Any matter can burn, as long as the temperature to ignite it is high enough.'"
"Yes, yes, yes, that's it. Your memory is really good; I only remember a rough idea," Du Luo Ken said.
"You can remember even this? That's not right; you don't know alchemy, and you can remember a line so clearly just by flipping through a book?" Negris looked Anthony up and down suspiciously.
If it were a book Anthony was interested in, it wouldn't be strange for him to read and remember it, but for him to remember a line from a completely unrelated book just by flipping through it? This was too ridiculous; he wasn't the God of Knowledge.
Anthony showed a rare look of embarrassment. "Because in the whole book, I only understood this one sentence. The rest, like 'the world returns to chaos,' 'the void is endless,' 'all forces will eventually be unified,' I didn't understand a single word. It didn't feel like an alchemy book; it felt more like a Holy Scripture."
No wonder Anthony could remember it. He knew all the words in the book, but when they were arranged in a line, he didn't know what was written, and he only understood one sentence; it would be hard not to remember it.
"What about that book?" Negris had a bad feeling.
"Burned," Anthony said, embarrassed.
"Damn it, you civilization destroyer," Negris said angrily.
Anthony pounced over to choke its neck. "You're cursing me again. Quick, quick, spit and swallow the curse back."
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey."
While everyone was arguing there, Ang suddenly turned his head to look at the small sapling on his shoulder. He saw the small sapling seriously waving its true leaves, sending enthusiastic information toward the burning black stone: "Exert force—grow—exert force—grow—"
From the moment the Ancient Black Stone was ignited, the small sapling had been waving its true leaves non-stop. Ang hadn't paid attention, but now Ang had to turn his head, because under the encouragement of the small sapling, some golden light spots were slowly condensing around the space, slowly drifting toward the small sapling.
These golden light spots gathered together, like a ribbon of light drifting to the top of the small sapling, slowly sprinkling down, pouring onto its true leaves, opposite leaves, and buds.
Ding! A new bud sprouted on top of the small sapling.
After this bud sprouted, those golden light spots immediately found their nest like returning birds, whooshing and pouring into the new bud.
Ang, who was symbiotic with it, only felt a stream of pure power continuously pouring into his source body.
This made Ang tilt his head uncontrollably.
To be honest, Ang's power level was too high now, and ordinary power had no meaning to him anymore, just like a Law God drinking no matter how many mana potions, it couldn't replenish his vast, sea-like mana.
But now, Ang felt the influx of power, and it was transmitted from the symbiotic small sapling, which meant that this power was extremely pure.
What kind of power was this? Ang waved his hand, and some small light spots flew to his hand.
Seeing his action, Negris curiously poked its head over. "What are you doing?"
Ang handed the small light spots in front of it.
"Is there something? What's on your hand?" Negris asked, puzzled.
Ang tilted his head. Negris couldn't see it? That meant this was not a normal energy light spot, but a kind of power similar to the level of belief.
Just at this time, the burning light spots suddenly extinguished, and the Ancient Black Stone burned to nothing.
