Chapter 1105: Chapter 855: Flames Ignite the Blades_2

Khalifa Spire extends downwards, encompassing 10 more levels, and around the subterranean 10th level, the clean and neat corridors are replaced by giant, ancient bronze steps.

The path is extremely dark, illuminated only by a few persistent wall lights.

Farosa reminisces about the time she explored the lower levels of the Xisheng Shrine, with Kirino Reisei by her side.

To contain the unnatural "flames", Khalifa Spire builds numerous cooling machines at its lowest levels, so that even when the Spire itself is under attack, these machines tirelessly operate.

There’s no command to shut them down, as if once they stop, a greater disaster would ensue.

They descend the stone steps, heading deeper.

Xu Yang examines the surrounding special containment structures, clearly layered, revealing their forms as they delve deeper.

The outermost layer comprises high-temperature insulation materials that can withstand thousands of degrees of heat, evidently designed to prevent flames from spreading to other areas, made of ceramic fibers, alumina, and silicon dioxide, with advanced composite asbestos materials forming the walls, and the exterior coated with a layer of expanding materials that explode into a thick protective foam layer when temperatures rise too high, further isolating the facilities.

The middle layer features an advanced fire extinguishing system, using dry powder and foam extinguishing agents to weaken the flames as much as possible, giving the Khalifa Spire personnel sufficient reaction time.

The innermost area is a series of advanced sensors and alarms protected by high-temperature coating, capable of monitoring changes in temperature, smoke, and gas levels, forming the first line of defense against the flames, and once they alarm, it signifies a major crisis.

For safety, after unlocking the password, Xu Yang hastens Kanako to leave, leaving himself and Farosa to continue deeper.

"You still care about me." Kanako said wearily, "or is it about my child?"

"You’re too important." Xu Yang embraced and kissed Kanako.

"Mm..." Kanako felt a warm tingle in her heart, comfortably walking away.

"..." Farosa watched coldly.

"Right here." Wei Shiyue moves forward, looking up to see a giant, eerie bronze door isolating inside and outside.

Heat seeps through the door crevices, threatening the triple thermal measures established by the outside company at great expense, as if they were useless.

"Heat and infinite flames, is this the power at the bottom of Khalifa Spire?" Xu Yang observes carefully.

"...If I were you, I wouldn’t go so close!" Wei Shiyue steps back.

"We should leave, this power isn’t something we can withstand." Golden Knight Chryses also doesn’t want to face this supernatural flame directly.

"Yan Duo?" Farosa wishes to make the most of it.

"Yan Duo... Yan Duo!" Yan Duo steps forward.

It uses its hands to pry open the bronze door slightly, with flames greedily shooting outward, scorching Yan Duo’s body, igniting it to new heights.

"Yan Duo!" Yan Duo endures the divine flame.

"So hot!" Wei Shiyue backs away.

Through the gap Yan Duo opened, Xu Yang sees an extremely fierce fire scene inside the room, flashing dazzling flames.

The emitted heat is so intense it feels suffocating, he feels the heat waves repeatedly licking his skin, causing his temperature sensors to promptly alarm, as if he’s being slowly roasted to death.

"Careful! Yan Duo!" Xu Yang shouts.

Sweat drips from Xu Yang’s face, the hot air pours out in waves.

Yan Duo, however, screams and squeezes inside, facing the extraordinary flames.

"— Come back! I can’t save you! You’re going to burn to death!" Farosa, drenched in sweat, is only a clone here, but she can see Yan Duo’s outer layer being destroyed.

What kind of flame is at the bottom of Khalifa Spire that even Zenith cannot withstand!

Xu Yang sees a standing silhouette behind the flames, a figure of an old being! Just like in the depths of the Xisheng Shrine burying the old beings as Pillars of Humanity, there’s one here too!

It seems unaffected by the scorching heat, merely standing silently in the terrifying fire scene.

Xu Yang cannot understand how this old being endures the roasting, nor can he see it clearly.

Yan Duo stands amidst the flames, close to the core of divine fire, realizing how precious this thing is to its friends, enduring the pain from the divine flames, shouting outward: "Yan Duo!"

"...He said ’weapon’! Some kind!" Farosa exclaims.

Wei Shiyue retrieves her Moon Silver Axe from behind and tosses it through the door.

Yan Duo grabs the axe, swings it in a circle amidst the flames, letting it endure the infinite divine flames of the fire scene, its blaze flashing intensely, then throws it back out the door.

The re-forged Moon Silver Axe burns with scorching lethal heat throughout, Wei Shiyue barely dares to touch it, but she can see the axe’s end has transformed from the original metal into some fresh red, burning blade light, symbolizing the limitless power of flame!

"Yan Duo!" Yan Duo calls again.

Farosa pats herself.

It’s regrettable, merely a clone, without the qualification or capability to summon a Godslayer Weapon or Star Tamer, but fortunately, there’s ample time ahead. For now, she can only have 101 move things over.

teleports to the bottom of the tower holding a pile of weapons, throwing her Shilou Maru, 102’s Short Spear, Pan Ruiyi’s Star-Chasing Spear, A40’s Sakura Passing all inside.

"Yan Duo! Yan Duo!" Yan Duo ignites the eternal flame of Khalifa Spire’s bottom on these weapons’ edges, then throws them out, shining brilliantly on the ground, each containing unprecedented explosive divine power.

In the process, Yan Duo endures the scorching heat, while the old being inside the fire scene watches all this, seemingly amazed. That there are beings coming here and using the divine flame to enhance weapons! Not fearing such high temperatures and horror...

"Hurry out!" Xu Yang is anxious, Yan Duo is almost melting.

"Yan Duo..." Yan Duo is burned all over.

It pries the mysterious bronze door, forcefully squeezing out, turning to look at the lonely old being at the bottom of the fire scene, waving at it, wishing the other to fare better. Despite Yan Duo’s pain, it thinks that the Pillar of Humanity in the fire has surely suffered even more over the years.

The old being also waves at Yan Duo.

Maintaining a huge silence, but its gaze flickers, it’s the first time seeing something genuinely intruding into this eternal flame and escaping unharmed.

Yan Duo lies on the ground outside, partially melted and motionless, with golden sparkling weapons scattered around, carrying the divine flame of Khalifa Spire’s bottom, fully evolved into mythic weapons, causing even the Ancient Mystics to feel pride and honor in holding them!

"Unbelievable—" Wei Shiyue exclaims, picking up her axe, now it might take only two or three chops to fell Mond.

"Yan Duo—Yan Duo—" Xu Yang crouches beside Yan Duo, caring for it.

"Yan Duo!" it says.

That phrase means "good friend!"
