Just as it was about to continue using its Lifebound Divine Techniques, at that moment, the corner of its eye caught sight of Lu Ping making a new move.
Everyone saw him put away the Heaven-leveling Blade, flick his sleeve, and summon an uncovered bronze furnace.
This bronze furnace was only the size of a palm, appearing with three legs, and was a dark bronze color. Upon its surface were irregular black lines, resembling cracks that covered the entire furnace.
This item was none other than the World-Ending Bronze Furnace!
As the Heaven-leveling Blade could not penetrate the defenses of the Shanyan Demon King, Lu Ping naturally would not waste more effort. Instead, he turned to wield the World-Ending Bronze Furnace, attempting to trap the opponent inside and directly refine it.
"What kind of lousy magical artifact is this?"
Seeing that Lu Pingâs World-Ending Bronze Furnace was missing a lid, which was quite noticeable and obviously incomplete, the Shanyan Demon King muttered.
Even as it spoke, it didnât pause its actions, unleashing another force that caused the space to warp once more.
Whoosh!
The World-Ending Bronze Furnace manifested, and Lu Ping manipulated this magical artifact to spin rapidly, with its opening aimed in the direction of the Shanyan Demon King, from which an incredibly strong suction force emerged.
The entire furnace flew towards the Shanyan Demon King across the sky.
"Eh?!!"
The Shanyan Demon King, who had initially paid no heed, found its expression tightening immediately upon feeling the notable suction force of the World-Ending Bronze Furnace exerted firmly upon itself.
It maintained its true form, not intending to shift back to human form.
Under the powerful force, it felt as if it was bound by countless ropes and being pulled with great strength.
Once the World-Ending Bronze Furnace appeared, it signaled Lu Pingâs serious attitude towards this battle.
Splatter!
Moreover, a massive surge of World-Ending Flames erupted from the furnace at this moment, transforming into a sea of fire sweeping towards the Shanyan Demon King.
The flames spread with astonishing speed, engulfing the Shanyan Demon King before it could react.
Like straw, the Shanyan Demon Kingâs shell was ignited instantly, blazing with fierce flames.
"Ah!"
The flames were scorching hot, with temperatures capable of melting everything, causing the Shanyan Demon Kingâs expression to change, and it let out a startled cry.
At this moment, no matter how strong its defenses were, they couldnât withstand the scorching of these World-Ending Flames.
"What kind of flames are these?"
It felt a sense of dread.
In a short time, these flames could not incinerate its shell completely.
However, the intense heat spreading caused its limbs and head to feel stabbing pain, continuously being baked by the flames.
If this continued, it feared being roasted alive!
"Werenât you claiming that I couldnât deal with you?"
Lu Pingâs eyes shone with a divine light, keeping a close watch on the Shanyan Demon King, which made it even more nervous as it tried to extinguish the flames on its body.
The suction force exerted by the World-Ending Bronze Furnace wasnât that strong at the moment.
Whoosh!
It directly maneuvered its body towards the Ice Lake, attempting to extinguish the flames in the simplest and most direct manner.
With a loud splash, the Shanyan Demon King, like a meteor falling, crashed into the tranquil and icy lake, sending a huge spray of water, splattering loudly.
The imagined sizzling sound of fire and water contacting was absent.
What surprised the Shanyan Demon King was that even after entering the Ice Lake and checking the flames on its body, they were still there, not extinguished by the water.
These flames couldnât be doused by water!
A thought emerged in its mind.
This result made the Shanyan Demon King cry out inwardly that things werenât going well.
Around them, Liu Hanyan and others saw the Shanyan Demon King retreating into the Ice Lake, thinking this Golden Core Demon King was trying to escape, leaving many feeling a bit regretful.
They had previously seen this Demon Beast emerge from the Ice Lake, and now it was diving back in. Could Lu Ping find it again in such a short time?
Would he be able to successfully slay it?
While everyone pondered various speculations, Lu Ping gave a response through his actions.
Everyone saw him unfold his robes, initially expecting him to use his sleeve divine techniques again. However, this time the World-Ending Bronze Furnace responded, summoned back quickly to Lu Pingâs front.
Then, with Lu Pingâs actions, he manipulated the furnace to rotate, aiming its opening at the direction of the Ice Lake, from which surged a vast amount of flames.
"Is he planning to... burn the entire Ice Lake?"
Li Hanshuang murmured.
Just when everyone thought Lu Ping would act as such, in the next moment, no flames spewed from the furnaceâs mouth. Instead, it exhibited a powerful suction force.
This suction covered a substantial area, encompassing the entire Shanyan Demon King and the surrounding three or four zhang area.
Splatter!
Under this immense and violent suction, it acted instantly, reaching down to the Ice Lake.
Before everyoneâs eyes, the lake water in the Ice Lake appeared to be drawn by a black hole, with vast amounts leaving the lake, converging into streams that surged upward against the current.
This spectacle was extremely eye-catching.
"Look at the lake water!"
"Does this magical artifact possess such power?"
"Is the elder trying to draw out that Demon Beast, or is he planning to drain the entire lake?"
"This... This furnace seems to be a Fire Attribute Spiritual Artifact, would absorbing so much water affect the magical artifact itself?"
"Affect your big-headed ghost, could a Golden Core Ancestorâs magical artifact be so fragile to be affected by ordinary lake water!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
While several disciples of the Jiuhua Sect discussed, a female disciple in her early twenties exclaimed.
"Oh my god! Look quickly!"
Following her jade hand pointing, everyone turned their gaze, only to see in the Ice Lake, amidst the vast amounts of lake water being drawn up in reverse, converging into a massive water column, and continuously being absorbed into the World-Ending Bronze Furnace.
Within that water column, right at the surface of the lake, a massive flame emerged, bursting through the surface.
No! To be precise, it was the Shanyan Demon King, with its body covered in flames, being forcefully drawn out of the lake along with the lake water, heading towards the airborne World-Ending Bronze Furnace.
"Oh no no no no no!"
Drawn by the suction of the World-Ending Bronze Furnace, the Shanyan Demon King was extremely anxious.
At the same time, the flames on its body showed no sign of extinguishing.
These flames were particularly conspicuous in the water, causing much of the lake water to steam, sizzling loudly.
It attempted to shake off the grip of the World-Ending Bronze Furnace but found this force incredibly strong, as if caught by an invisible giant hand, pulling it skyward.
In mid-air, Lu Ping stood hovering, one hand behind his back, the other manipulating the World-Ending Bronze Furnace, unleashing its power, pulling the Shanyan Demon King closer.
