Chapter 2327 Absolute Flame Command
White hot liquid dripped out from the gaps in the Sky Scorning Claw Dao Embryo's crushing grasp.
~DRIP~DRIP~DRIP~
It fell into empty air below, before suddenly freezing in place.
'Meld!' Lin Mu acted fast, dividing his focus between the Longgui Bulwark Armor Technique and his spatial skill.
Since nothing else could hold the hot liquid, Lin Mu could only use the space itself to contain it. 'I need to shape it right away or it won't work,' Lin Mu thought and raised his focus to the maximum.
Faint chants started to come out of his lips as he stilled his mind with the Severing Heart Sutra. All his emotions were swept away, as all that was left behind was the tasks at hand. With his focus enhanced, Lin Mu manipulated the space, shaping it into a vertical tube.
~DRIP~DRIP~DRIP~
The white hot liquid slid into these invisible tubes and started to fill them up. At first the speed was slow, but with the melting point having been achieved, the rate of flow only increased. A minute later, the first tube had been filled to the brim!
"It's filled!" Crown Prince Feng Shun saw.
"Hold on more, we can make more." Lady Kang knew this was just and that their goal was to make as many as they could.
~CRACK~
But as soon as she said that, the final Heat Warding Talisman barrier broke apart.
"ARGH!" Min Ju was the first one to cry out in pain as the heat assaulted her.
"Min Ju!" Lady Kang turned to her. "I can do it, my lady…" the woman said through her pain.
Her hands were starting to burn despite the defensive technique she was using. The temperature had reached a level far beyond what most immortals would be able to bear right now. Even though they weren't as close to the melting ore as Lin Mu and Little Shrubby were, the residual heat that radiated from it was still hot enough to turn flesh to ashes within seconds. Lin Mu had also heard the woman's cry, but he paid it no heed. He had the Severing Heart Sutra active, which didn't allow his emotions to sway him. His focus was entirely on the casting of the Null Iron and he was now making the second tube.
~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~
Waves of spatial fluctuation and immortal Qi radiated from him as he mustered his entire will in it.
~ROAR~
Little Shrubby let out a roar, his bloodline was spurred into action.
~HUALA~
His Bloodline aura manifested as the illusory images of two beasts appeared above him.
The first was that of a tiger with long claws that glowed in a white hot light, and the second was that of a Liger whose entire body was burning with orange and red flames.
~ROAR~ ROAR~
The two bloodline figures roared as if announcing their presence.
These were none other than the Scorch Claw Tiger and the Flash Fire Liger. They were the beasts that provided Little Shrubby with his fire elemental affinity and his strong proficiency with fire Dao.
And if one looked closer, they would realize that there was a resonance between the two bloodline figures and the Sky Scorching Claw Dao Embryo. ~HONGLONG~
The runes on the Sky Scorching Claw Dao Embryo glowed and resonated with the Flash Fire Liger's bloodline figure. Within the flames burning on its body, one could see the very same flames, as if showing their origin.
But that was not all, as every finger on the Sky Scorching Claw Dao Embryo started to glow brighter and hotter, until they had turned white hot too. They now looked the same as the white hot claws of the Scorch Claw Tiger!
The temperature of the entire foundry spiked at that moment, causing everyone's defenses to go haywire before being overwhelmed.
"NO!" The group was panicked as they couldn't block it in time.
Even Crown prince Feng Shun and Lady Kang's defenses were bypassed as the heat scorched their hands.
~ROAR~
But before it could become disastrous, the heat suddenly stopped. It suddenly reduced until it reached room temperature.
"What?" The group was confused as they felt a sudden relief. "This…" Crown Princess Shang, who had the highest affinity to the Fire Dao among them, could sense the strange flow of the Fire Dao Traces. Her sense followed them as she realized a demarcation had been created in the air. It was invisible, but everyone could now feel it was there. They didn't even need to have an affinity for the Fire Dao to sense it anymore.
"This is… a Dao Trace barrier?" Monk Hushu muttered in disbelief.
"Not just any Dao Trace barrier… it is made from Fire Dao Traces." Lady Kang said, as she tried to figure out what had just happened.
"Controlling Fire as if it were one's own limbs. Perfect insulation such that one can coat cotton with fire and it won't burn and great conduction with which one can even make water combust…" Ziran stated upon understanding. His gaze locked onto Little Shrubby, as he knew he was behind it all.
"What's this?" Qiao De couldn't understand.
"All the heat in this foundry is being perfectly limited to the crucible. Perfect insulation and incineration without a waste. This is… Absolute Flame Command!" Ziran exclaimed.
The eyes of some like Crown Princess Shang, Crown Prince Feng Shun, Lady Kang, Daoist Chu went wide, for they understood what this was. While the others only listened to it in marvel.
"To think I would see it here… Even those at the Seventh Tribulation Realm of the Immortal realm and having Fire Dao Embryos aren't able to reach this level of proficiency easily." Crown Princess Shang muttered. "And a beast has achieved it."
They heard it and watched as the effects of it were demonstrated.
~SPLASH~
The Null Iron Ore was like an ice cube thrown into boiling water, turning liquid within moments and filling the spatial tubes that Lin Mu had made for containing it.
