Soul Emperor Martial God
Chapter 1369: Impact, the Second Seal
The Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace was summoned, floating above the Golden Light Pit.
"Inhale." Xiao Yi softly commanded.
Streams of golden light were absorbed inside.
While controlling the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace, Xiao Yi was also sensing the situation inside.
The golden light power entered the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace without any reaction for the time being.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi nodded and then accelerated the absorption speed.
In an instant, the golden light surged into the furnace at an extremely fast pace.
The Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace did not appear large, but it contained its own space inside, capable of accommodating a considerable range of things.
This self-contained space effect is something most treasures above the holy artifact level possess.
However, these treasures are mostly weapons in the hands of martial artists, meant for combat.
Thus, even with this effect, martial artists do not use them for storing items; most put their belongings in the Universe Ring.
The Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace is different, though. Although it’s a treasure, Xiao Yi never used it as a combat tool.
Every time he used it, it was solely for refining.
Therefore, absorbing these golden light powers and storing them in the furnace was not an issue.
Additionally, Xiao Yi had sensed this space earlier.
Inside the space, flames roared, with an astonishing temperature.
Clusters of flame aura, like ancient flames, burned endlessly.
That was the Dragon Flame Breath.
Of course, this was what the Senior Swordswoman told him when they were in the Eastern Domain.
Whether these flames were truly Dragon Flames, Xiao Yi dared not confirm.
In comparison, these flames were indeed strong, even much stronger than top flames.
But compared to such powerful flames like the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame, they were clearly inferior by a margin.
If it were indeed Dragon Flames, they shouldn’t be any weaker than the most powerful flames in the world.
However, Xiao Yi was unclear about the specific situation.
Most of the time he carried the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace, its main function was for refining.
Within the furnace space, flames were already raging with an astonishing temperature, so it worked effectively and quickly during refining.
Especially when he refined, it was always in large quantities of elixirs, so using the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace was naturally the best choice.
Now, he was also sensing the furnace space.
Streams of golden light were absorbed into this roaring flame space one by one.
Even as the golden light surged in, there was still no reaction.
There was no conflict between the golden light and the roaring flames.
The flames did not burn the golden light, and the golden light did not impact the roaring of the flames in the slightest.
"Seems like there shouldn’t be any problem." Xiao Yi murmured to himself, a trace of confidence appearing on his face.
Since the golden light could be stored in the furnace’s flame space, the next step was preparation for the formation and prohibition.
Once the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace absorbed enough golden light power, it could be sealed by the formation directly.
After considering this, Xiao Yi withdrew his awareness from the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace.
Next, he took out pieces of mid-grade Spirit Stone.
The Spirit Stones were placed around in a mysterious manner.
Without a doubt, he was setting up a formation.
To arrange a truly powerful formation, it needs to be deliberately set up.
Compared to the Wind Snow Formation, Flame Formation, etc., he previously performed casually, which were not high-tier due to his deep understanding of this art.
Hence, they could be done effortlessly.
But now, the formation he needed to set up was to seal off these powerful golden light forces, so naturally, the tier was different.
In the first piece of Ice Venerate Token he received, he obtained all kinds of formation techniques from the Ice Venerable.
Among them was a formation called ’Ice Profound Sealing Array’, one of the most powerful formations in the Ice Venerable’s formation inheritance.
This formation is not a Killing Formation and has no effect on defeating enemies.
However, it possesses extremely strong sealing and encircling effects, being an ancient sealing great formation.
This formation, with the help of a large number of Spirit Stones, and under the circumstance of having trained in the Cold Ice Dao himself, could be set up.
Of course, this required a considerable amount of time.
Although Xiao Yi’s current formation skills were not weak, they were far from those great experts in formations, let alone the ancient formation masters.
This sealing great formation would cost him considerable effort.
However, after comparing the speed at which the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace was currently absorbing the golden light, it seemed it would take some time to completely fill the entire flame space.
Just as well, by the time the flame space was filled with golden light power, his formation should be almost complete.
Once enough golden light power was absorbed, the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace could be retracted, and it could be sealed with the Ice Profound Sealing Formation, surely confining the golden light power.
With this plan, Xiao Yi was ready.
A full two hours later.
Around Xiao Yi, pieces of Spirit Stone were mysteriously placed.
The formation was not yet fully set up, just roughly arranging the foundation, and the next step was to perfect the whole great formation.
The Spirit Stones around encompassed an area close to a hundred meters.
Xiao Yi sat cross-legged in the center, his palm spread open, as threads of Cold Ice Power emerged.
The extreme cold ice aura precisely reached each piece of Spirit Stone, directed by Xiao Yi.
The Ice Profound Sealing Formation was an Ice Attribute sealing great formation.
Xiao Yi wanted to arrange it, but his Primordial Power was not enough, so he had to rely on the power of the Spirit Stones.
The extreme cold ice aura currently released was merely an ’inducer’.
This so-called ’inducer’ would draw out the power within the Spirit Stones, thereby greatly enhancing the power of each extreme cold ice aura.
Another full two hours later.
"Phew." Xiao Yi exhaled lightly, wiping the sweat densely dotting his forehead.
Setting up a truly powerful great formation was certainly not a simple task.
"The formation is complete, just waiting for the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace to absorb enough golden light power, and it can be immediately activated." A hint of joy appeared on Xiao Yi’s slightly pale face.
In his hand, the Heavenly Mechanism Sacred Plate had already appeared.
Indeed, Xiao Yi planned to use the Heavenly Mechanism Sacred Plate to initiate this great formation.
Adding the amplification of the formation treasure, the Heavenly Mechanism Sacred Plate, would surely make the power formidable.
Using the power of two Heaven and Earth Treasures and an ancient sealing great formation, Xiao Yi did not believe these golden light powers could escape.
At this point, he only needed to wait.
Half an hour later.
Xiao Yi released his senses.
Inside the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace, the vast flame space was gradually filled with golden light power under the rapid absorption speed.
It wouldn’t be long before it would be completely filled.
A dozen minutes later.
A gleam of sharpness flashed in Xiao Yi’s eyes, "It’s full, the great formation, activate..."
Xiao Yi shouted.
The flame space was already filled with golden light power; now was the time to activate the great formation for sealing.
However, Xiao Yi’s actions suddenly froze.
For some unknown reason, he felt something indescribably amiss.
This unease stemmed from the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace, but exactly what it was, Xiao Yi couldn’t articulate.
Xiao Yi’s sharp gaze locked onto the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace.
After a long while, his face suddenly showed astonishment as he understood.
He finally discovered what was wrong.
It was that at this moment, the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace, surrounded by thick golden light power, was filled with golden light power within the furnace, yet its body showed no change.
It appeared as ancient and tranquil as usual, just like when Xiao Yi used it for refining.
Even when the Cold Flame Sword approached these golden light powers, they shimmered with brilliance, greatly enhancing in aura.
Yet the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace showed no change at all.
These golden light powers seemingly had no effect on it.
After a long while, just as Xiao Yi was still pondering this, his expression shifted again.
Before him, above the huge pit, the originally floating Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace suddenly began to tremble violently.
This violent shudder felt somewhat familiar to him, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
In shock, he hurriedly released his senses.
Xiao Yi’s expression became peculiar suddenly.
Inside the furnace’s flame space, the thick golden light power was continuously impacting the seal inside the furnace.
The impacted area was the second seal of the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace.
