At this moment, using this magical artifact to deal with the Shanyan Demon King was undoubtedly the most suitable.
Once you pull the opponent into the World-Ending Bronze Furnace, thereās no fear of not being able to kill them; you can simply refine them down.
Itās just a matter of time!
"Ahhhh!"
Amidst the Shanyan Demon Kingās panicked cries, it had no way to escape Lu Pingās attack, only watching as it got closer and closer to the World-Ending Bronze Furnace.
At the same time, as it got closer to the World-Ending Bronze Furnace, its body also began to shrink under such attacks.
"I donātā I donāt want this!"
Finally, there was a loud scream, full of struggle in its tone.
With a swoosh, the Shanyan Demon King shrunk to the size of a barrel and was instantly sucked into the World-Ending Bronze Furnace, disappearing without a trace.
At this moment, Lu Ping waved his sleeve, making the World-Ending Bronze Furnace spin around.
Lu Ping used his mind to perceive it, clearly sensing the Shanyan Demon King inside the furnace, like an ant on a hot pan, constantly crashing around, with flames emitting from its body.
At this point, itās likely the demon kingās heart was also on fire.
It never expected to be caught like this, becoming a possession in Lu Pingās pocket.
What should be done now?
In a moment of panic, the Shanyan Demon King burst with even greater power, continually assaulting the World-Ending Bronze Furnaceās barriers, causing endless booming sounds.
Despite such high-intensity attacks, the World-Ending Bronze Furnace remained intact without a scratch.
"Ahhhh!"
"How is this possible!"
Seeing its attacks were in vain, like hitting a cloud, causing no damage, the Shanyan Demon King grew more anxious.
Hearing the Shanyan Demon Kingās shouts, Lu Ping remained indifferent, without a hint of pity, instead increasing the offensive.
Whoosh whoosh.
The World-Ending Flames raged inside the furnace, sweeping towards the Shanyan Demon King, leaving it no room for evasion.
"Ahhh, hot hot hot!!"
The Shanyan Demon King screamed and roared, lost all sense of direction within the furnace, like a headless fly, with no semblance of the Golden Core Demon King it once was.
"Werenāt you so cocky earlier?"
Watching the Shanyan Demon Kingās actions, Lu Ping smirked, ready to increase the flames and refine the demon king.
Under the scorching of the World-Ending Flames, the Shanyan Demon Kingās entire turquoise shell began to transform, turning a fiery red, the temperature rising constantly, with wisps of white smoke dispersing.
Clatter clatter.
Even small patches of its shell began to fall off.
Seeing its shell being damaged and falling off, thinking this way, thereās no chance of surviving.
In a panic, it couldnāt help but cry out,
"I was wrong! I was wrong!"
"Senior, your methods are outstanding, truly like an immortal in the world, with magic reaching the heavens, itās amazing!"
"Ahhh! Senior, I was wrong!! I was wrong!!"
"You are magnanimous, please spare me just this once!"
"Itās so uncomfortable, I feel like Iām about to melt, I donāt want to melt, boohoo, no, no..."
The Shanyan Demon King babbled nonstop, finally starting to sob.
Initially, Lu Ping didnāt take much notice of its pleas, continuing to use flames to refine until most of the demon kingās shell had fallen off, and one of its words caught Lu Pingās attention.
"Senior, senior, Iām willing to become your spirit pet, to be an obedient and well-behaved spirit pet just for you!!"
"Donāt hesitate now, Iām about to melt, oh dear! Being refined by you, boohoo, itās so hot, so painful..."
Its pleas, mixed with sobbing, made Lu Ping somewhat amused.
But frankly, having a Shanyan Demon King as a spirit pet... This opportunity is not easy to come by, with a Golden Core Level demon beast by oneās side.
With this thought in mind, Lu Ping didnāt rush to answer, continuing to withhold his actions, wanting to see what other attitude the Shanyan Demon King would show next.
"Oh dear, oh dear, Iām going to die! Senior, you have a heart of stone, ignoring me!!"
"I was wrong, wrong, quickly extinguish the fire, poor me, Iām going to be roasted, boohoo, I think I smell the smell of roasting meat!"
The Shanyan Demon King cried louder, crouching near the furnace opening, shouting desperately.
It was wailing and begging, wanting Lu Ping to hear it, making sure he heard it clearly, so it deliberately increased the volume.
With magical power enhancement, the sound spread, clearly reaching the ears of Liiu Hanyan and others.
This caused many disciples of the Jiuhua Sect to glance at one another, seeing the bitter smile and surprise on each otherās faces.
"The senior is really impressive."
"A Golden Core Level demon beast as a spirit pet, I suppose the senior wouldnāt refuse, Iād be thrilled if it were me."
"Hmm, thatās not certain. The seniorās strength is so daunting, maybe thereās already a Golden Core Level spirit pet accompanying, not lacking this one."
"You have a point, but it is a Golden Core Demon King, who would refuse one more under their command."
"Look quickly, the senior seems interested!"
Under everyoneās watch, Lu Ping finally showed some movement, ceasing the action of refining the Shanyan Demon King.
The World-Ending Bronze Furnace quietly floated midair, transitioning from its flame-emanating state to appearing like a calm lake, fully retracting its aura, resting quietly.
"Senior, just like this, senior! Stop burning me!"
Seeing the surrounding World-Ending Flames recede like a tide, the Shanyan Demon Kingās expression changed to one of joy. If at this moment it took human form, Lu Ping would certainly see it wiping tears.
"Do you mean what you said earlier?"
Lu Ping remained indifferent, with a nonchalant demeanor, as if ready to continue the refinement without hesitation if the Shanyan Demon King said no.
Upon hearing Lu Pingās inquiry, clearly considering taking itself as a spirit pet, the Shanyan Demon King nodded eagerly like a pecking chicken.
"Yes, yes, truly true, I have no intention of deceiving the senior, heaven and earth as witness!"
"Good."
Lu Ping nodded slowly, glanced at the Snowfield Spiritual Vein below, just as heās about to speak, the Shanyan Demon King, using its divine sense, noticed Lu Pingās action and offered proactively.
"If the senior wants this spirit vein, take it; itās yours as well!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ping couldnāt help but chuckle inwardly.
A Golden Core Demon Beast acting like this is truly amusing.
But thinking about it, claiming a spirit pet isnāt a bad thing at all.
Cultivators and spirit pets would sign a spirit pet agreement.
The spirit beast would pledge an oath akin to an Immortal Dao vow, proving its bond with its owner and its determination to serve as their spirit pet.
Once the Immortal Dao oath is broken, divine punishment is inevitable.
Moreover, with the binding restraint of the Spirit Beast Contract, a spirit pet can indeed be loyal to its master.
Having reached an agreement with the Shanyan Demon King to sign the Spirit Beast Contract, Lu Ping decided not to make things difficult for it anymore.
For safetyās sake, after establishing communication through the communication technique with the Shanyan Demon King, Lu Ping placed it along with the World-Ending Bronze Furnace into his Qiankun Sleeve.
"Senior, those people not far away, are they with you?"
