Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 297 - 296: Terrifying Temperature!

Gu Yuan decided to take action immediately. He reached out his hand and pressed on the fire furnace, activating the restriction on it.

Almost at the instant Gu Yuan activated the restriction, the lid of the fire furnace suddenly opened, and an immense suction force emanated from within.

This suction force was incredibly terrifying, yet it seemed to target only Gu Yuan himself.

His robes fluttered and his hair scattered, yet Ji Yufei and Yan Xiaoling, who were not far away, appeared completely unaffected.

Initially, Gu Yuan intended to use his True Qi to resist, but upon a second thought, he did not resist and allowed the fire furnace to ingest him.

A dazzling brightness filled Gu Yuan’s vision, and he found himself engulfed in a sea of fire, surrounded by dark red, blazing True Flames. The intense heat quickly assaulted him, seemingly intent on reducing him to ashes.

Even though Gu Yuan possessed a robust physique, he felt the scorching heat, and the surrounding temperature continued to rise at an alarming rate, becoming increasingly hotter.

However, Gu Yuan had previously refined a Dragon Blood Fruit.

The Dragon Blood Fruit was a top-grade fire attribute Spirit Fruit, which not only strengthened Gu Yuan’s physique but also endowed him with the Fire Spirit Body Talent.

At this moment, Gu Yuan’s resistance to fire damage had distinctly increased.

The heat rushed toward him, and even the wisps of dark red True Flames coiled around him, yet they did not cause him any harm.

He even felt a warm, soothing sensation.

Although he practiced the Water Element Daoist Scripture, he felt no discomfort.

But as the temperature around him continued to rise, attacking him from all directions, permeating every crevice, even his hair and clothes began to yellow and warp.

In addition to the rampaging True Flames, Gu Yuan gradually felt it was becoming unbearable.

Possessing the Fire Spirit Body Talent did not equate to immunity from True Flames or Fire Divine Power Techniques, but rather, it conferred a relatively strong resistance to them.

"Good heavens, are they treating me like a Spirit Pill or a Magical Artifact to be refined?"

Gu Yuan quickly circulated his True Qi and simultaneously activated the Heaven and Earth Devouring Divine Techniques.

A subtle black light appeared on the surface of his body.

This faint black light seemed to contain some mysterious power, capable of devouring even light itself.

As the blazing True Flames flickered around him, casting dark red reflections on Gu Yuan, the black light on him remained dim, with no firelight reflected.

Instead, it absorbed and digested all the surrounding heat and True Flames.

Gu Yuan felt his body cool down immediately, the temperature around him dropping significantly.

As the Heaven and Earth Devouring Divine Techniques began to devour and refine the True Flames, Gu Yuan felt gentle Spiritual Qi flooding into his body, transformed by the techniques to be mild, having lost its explosive nature.

This Spiritual Qi integrated into his muscles and bones, slowly fortifying his physique.

"Is that all? Obtaining a fire furnace at the Artifact Level shouldn’t be this easy, right?"

Gu Yuan blinked, and as the thought crossed his mind, the surrounding True Flames coalesced into dark red, four-clawed, single-horned Flood Dragons, intertwining like an overturned bowl, seemingly trapping him inside.

Instantly, Gu Yuan felt tremendous pressure as the temperature around him rapidly increased, the heat surging tenfold!

Even the air warped, as the surroundings interwove in incandescent white and dark red, resembling the legendary Hell of Blazing Fire.

Though the Heaven and Earth Devouring Divine Techniques were indeed marvelous, they had certain limits.

Soon, Gu Yuan felt waves of heat assault him yet again. Despite the obstruction of the techniques, some of the heat began to invade his body.

To ascertain the temperature within this small space, Gu Yuan took out a piece of Iron Mother. No sooner had he tossed it onto the ground than the black-gray Iron Mother turned fiery red, melting into a pool of crimson molten iron.

"Good lord... Even the Iron Mother melted within three breaths..."

Gu Yuan’s eyebrows twitched wildly, somewhat apprehensive as he looked at the fire Flood Dragons formed by the True Flames.

Iron Mother, along with Refined Gold, belonged to the same level of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Though not top-tier Spiritual Materials, they were indeed rare.

Usually, cultivators used them to forge Magical Artifacts or as auxiliary materials for Magical Treasures, yet now they melted effortlessly!

Naturally, Gu Yuan was somewhat startled!

There were nine fire Flood Dragons in total, intertwining to form a mysterious array.

Gu Yuan pointed his finger, and with a sword cry, the Silver Flood Dragon Sword transformed into a strand of silver thread, rapidly splitting into dozens of threads.

Under Gu Yuan’s control, these sword threads emanated sharp Sword Intent, so piercing that they seemed capable of severing any tangible or intangible entities.

Indeed, as these sword threads flew out, they sliced the fire Flood Dragons to pieces in an instant.

However, shortly thereafter, the fire Flood Dragons, slashed into fragments by the sword threads, reformed with a flash of flame, identical to their original state.

Gu Yuan frowned, retracting the Silver Flood Dragon Sword. At the moment, the sword was bright as new, but it faintly glowed red, evidently due to the high surrounding temperature.

Evidently, even a top-grade Flying Sword like the Silver Flood Dragon Sword could hardly resist the surrounding heat and True Flames for long, eventually being reduced to a pool of molten iron.

However, Gu Yuan also noticed something peculiar: the fire Flood Dragons around him never attacked him; they merely formed an array to confine him and spew True Flames, doing nothing else.

Gu Yuan pondered for a moment and sent out a blast of Purple Sky Divine Thunder.

BOOM!!!

The purple-gold Thunder Light, thick as a thigh, swiftly and dominantly shattered one of the fire Flood Dragons to fragments, its glow dimming. However, soon, the surrounding True Flames converged, reforming a fire Flood Dragon identical to the previous one.

"It seems my guess was right. This fire furnace’s ordeal isn’t about attacking me; it’s about testing my endurance, treating me like a Magical Artifact or Spirit Pill to be refined. As long as I can withstand it, I can obtain this Magical Treasure."

Realizing this, Gu Yuan ceased his offensive, opting to circulate his internal Primordial True Qi to fend off the heat externally.

Thus, the heat he struggled to endure was once again kept at bay.

However, whether utilizing the Heaven and Earth Devouring Divine Techniques or circulating Primordial True Qi to resist the heat and True Flames, these actions consumed True Qi enormously.

Gu Yuan’s Primordial True Qi was rather profound and vigorous, yet under these operations, it drained rapidly like flowing water.

In the span of just one incense stick, he had depleted thirty percent of his True Qi.

This made Gu Yuan frown.

His True Qi was supposed to be tenfold more abundant than that of cultivators of the same rank, yet this consumption rate was astonishingly fast. Were it a different cultivator, they might have already exhausted their True Qi and been reduced to ash by the True Flames.
