Chapter 1229: Chapter 1227: lting Furnace and lting Furnace
“Boom!”
In Eden, within the Heavenly Pit Spell Testing Field, Richard was testing the Energy Furnace.
With a deafening blast, a massive explosion ford in front of him, an enormous fireball swelling, with shockwaves howling and spreading in all directions.
Normally, Richard would either cast a spell to withstand this or dodge it. But this ti, he did neither; with a step forward, his body was enveloped in a dense golden energy, and he flew straight towards the center of the explosion.
“Woosh woosh woosh—”
Flying against the shockwave, the constant sound of air rushing past his ears.
Bearing the strong repulsion force, he crashed into the expanding fireball alone, punched out powerfully, energy burst forth, directly shattering the fireball and prematurely ending the explosion’s might.
As the scorching air from the explosion faded, Richard’s feet touched the ground, he felt the energy expenditure from his recent actions and slowly spoke: “Around five percent or so, seems like there’s still a lot of room for improvent…”
“Then…”
With a wave of his hand, a red energy beam shot out, hitting a cylindrical target a hundred ters away.
“Bam bam bam bam bam bam!”
The target shook, then continuously emitted blasts, spraying out countless fragnts like hail in all directions.
Richard quickly approached, and as the fragnts were about to hit him, his whole body twisted, beca transparent, vanished, and appeared a few dozen ters away.
At the location he appeared, fragnts were still flying at him, Richard didn’t hesitate, his whole body twisted again, beca transparent, vanished, then appeared above.
Fragnts were still flying even above, so Richard disappeared for the third ti.
This was followed by a fourth disappearance, a fifth disappearance…
After disappearing nearly ten tis, the fragnts the target emitted were all exhausted, Richard returned to the starting point. Raising an eyebrow, his body flickered forward, covering a hundred-ter distance almost in the blink of an eye to the damaged target. He extended a finger and touched the target’s surface, which instantly turned crimson, high energy generating high heat, within a few seconds it lted into a pool of molten iron.
Looking at the molten iron on the ground, Richard felt it and murmured: “Things that can be solved very simply, now done in the most strenuous way, still only around twenty-five percent energy consumption, barely allowing an Energy Furnace to run at full power… If we don’t consider the erosion of Void Energy on the body and the life force consud by the Energy Furnace, I’m practically immortal right now… and can directly combine multiple Void Transfer Magic spells for near-instant teleportation…”
“Interesting.” Richard blinked, “Indeed, normally there’s no need to do this, too wasteful, but…”
Mid-sentence, Richard’s voice stopped, his entire being abruptly shone brightly.
Like a sun bursting in the night sky, its rays rapidly expanding, the formidable energy transforming into a terrifying storm, exploding and sweeping in all directions.
“Rumble…”
The entire Heavenly Pit Magic Test Field trembled madly, despite being reinforced, so parts collapsed extensively, causing the entirety of Eden’s ground to shake incessantly.
The nearby several hundred square ters of ground instantly crystallized, while the more peripheral areas showed signs of severe heat and lting, demonstrating an extrely terrifying power.
As the white light gradually dispersed, Richard appeared back at the original spot, squinting his eyes to finish what had been left unsaid.
“But… using strength to crush is still better. After all, if one can solve the fight simply, why expend extra thought? It may be sowhat mindless, yet it saves more ntal effort to be used on other, more important matters.”
With a slight pause, sweeping his gaze around, Richard continued: “At nearly full power operation, the four Energy Furnaces have already vastly surpassed the strength of only a regular Level 4 Wizard… If they were four original Energy Furnaces, they’d be even stronger, no wonder Moli values them so much.
From this perspective, the Ancient Wizard Civilization was indeed very advanced, according to Moli, these Energy Furnaces wouldn’t even rank in that era.
It seems that in this aspect, there’s still much potential to delve into within the Ancient Wizard Civilization; learning more could bring one closer to the truth of the world… Even if not, at least it can indirectly propel research forward and help in unlocking the secrets of Extraordinary Factors faster… Though opportunities are hard to find, for Ancient Relics aren’t commonly found everywhere…”
…
In so place on the continent.
Outside a remote castle, standing in a clearing with serious expressions were Moli and her companions.
After a mont of silence, Moli asked aloud: “Are you ready?”
“Yes.” Hulk listened and nodded earnestly, “Captain, I am ready.”
Moli couldn’t help but glance at him and said: “I wasn’t referring to you, but to them.” Her gaze shifted to Su and the others standing around Hulk.
Hulk: “Uh…”
“How’s the preparation?” Moli asked Su and the others.
“It’s good, Captain.” Su, “One-eyed,” “Ice Cube,” several of them nodded together.
“Then that’s fine.” Moli withdrew her gaze, then turned towards Hulk: “Now it’s your turn, if you’re ready, start the test.”
“Yes.” Hulk responded, his expression becoming serious.
“Woosh——Haa——”
Taking a deep breath, Hulk steadied his form, controlling the Mana Flow from his Magic Origin to inject into the Energy Furnace at his chest, quickly activating it.
“Swish!”
A bright light sprouted at the pit of Hulk’s stomach, piercing through his flesh, its area slowly enlarging, and the intensity continuously increasing.
A dozen seconds later, the milky white light had covered Hulk’s upper body.
Twenty seconds later, the milky white light covered Hulk’s lower body.
At this mont, Hulk looked like he was wearing a layer of energy armor, his already robust physique now enlarged even further.
Afterwards, the brightness continued to increase, and the size expanded, but not uniformly in all directions, instead directly upward.
A minute later, under the illumination, Hulk’s entire image had blurred, making his limbs indistinct, with a tall section growing atop his head, seen from afar it looked like… a glowing flagpole.
Looking at this scene in front of Hulk, Moli’s eyelashes fluttered, her gaze sowhat strange, cautiously questioning: “Hulk, how do you feel now?”
“It’s alright… Captain…” From within the light, Hulk responded sowhat ambiguously, hesitantly said, “I’ve already reached the limit of the last test, I think I can keep enhancing, can still… Ah!”
Yet before Hulk finished speaking, a cluster of flas erged in the light, burning away the clothes on his upper body, and singeing off the hair, eyebrows, and beard he had barely grown, making his head resemble an egg once more.
Moli’s eyes narrowed, she quickly issued a command to halt, “Hulk, stop the Energy Furnace operation, shut it down imdiately!”
“Captain, I’m shutting it down,” Hulk responded, paused for about a second, and said sowhat anxiously and helplessly, “But… I… I can’t shut it down… The Energy Furnace has lost control, the energy output keeps increasing… Ah!”
Towards the end, Hulk let out another scream, visibly under the light, his skin started to crack, fresh blood splattered out, gradually appearing like a balloon stretching open.
