Chapter 488: Chapter 243: Star-Shaped Spirit Furnace_2

In an instant, the Divine Prayers Small Tree Spirit Furnace and Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace were directly redirected, returning into their respective bodies. Then, Long Kongkong’s body melted like ice, turning into a streak of purple light, and surged into Long Dangdang.

Dark purple armors reappeared on the surface of Long Dangdang’s body piece by piece. A terrifying and potent aura of destruction erupted wildly. The blood-red hue in Long Dangdang’s eyes was instantly replaced by purple, and from the fierce glow within, he abruptly thumped his chest with his hand.

With a resounding "bang," the blood-red hue enveloping his body and its surface was repressed and driven back in the blink of an eye.

The Divine Lotus Spirit Furnace returned to its white color, but was also suppressed into his chest.

On the ground in the distance, the gray ash on the surface of the spirit furnace disintegrated and turned into a blood-red streak, hurled towards Long Dangdang, who grabbed it with his hand.

A flash of cold cruelty shone in Long Dangdang’s eyes, and the terrifying dark purple instantly enveloped the blood-red streak. The next moment, the purple-black glow rushed directly into his chest, disappearing without a trace.

Last time, when Long Dangdang turned into Long Kongkong’s armor in the Devil Realm, it was purple-gold. But this deep purple now, seemed even more profoundly endless, as if it could devour everything.

Unlike the ferocity Long Kongkong had shown in the Devil Realm, Long Dangdang scanned the distant spirit furnaces that had retreated, then sat down cross-legged on the spot. He glanced at the armor on his arm, his icy gaze gradually turning calm.

Concentrating his mind, the purple light wrapped around him, and in the next moment, it had once again gathered in front of him, forming the figure of Long Kongkong.

When the two separated again, their faces turned pale. Just the moment of integration, even without the experience of any combat, seemed to drain all their energy. Fortunately, Long Dangdang didn’t exhibit any negative reactions, everything seemed to have returned to normal.

Long Kongkong was panting in large gasps. Seeing that his brother seemed all right, he finally sighed with relief, and plumped down on the ground, "That scared me to death."

Neither Small Tree nor Vast Ocean appeared again. Long Kongkong silently sensed that the three major Spirit Furnaces on his body seemed to have lost their Spiritual Energy. They were all dormant.

He blinked his eyes, and vaguely understood that this should be due to the power consumed in the process of turning into an armor and merging with his brother.

It seems a bit different this time! The process of him turning into an armor and his brother doing the same appeared to be distinct. His brother seemed to have directly canceled this state without doing anything. Last time, after he attacked once, his body seemed about to disintegrate. Luckily, he was in the illusion of the Devil Realm, and no accidents happened.

This special power in their bodies was too extraordinary for them. It has saved them for the second time. While it didn’t mean much the last time, understanding a bit more about this mysterious force is always enlightening.

Long Kongkong propped himself up to stand, though his body was a bit weak, it wasn’t too unbearable. Now that his brother has successfully subdued the Spirit Furnace, he should also seek his own. But now that Small Tree had quieted down, he had to rely on himself. Besides, she had previously said that this time, he needed to experience and find it on his own.

With the earlier aura released from him and Long Dangdang disappearing, the spirit furnaces around gradually returned to normal. Long Kongkong looked around but was confused. He indeed didn’t know what type of spirit furnace would be suitable for him.

These spirit furnaces didn’t come with any manuals, he didn’t know what purpose each of them served, and he definitely couldn’t just randomly pick one and hope for good luck. Leaving it up to fate isn’t the best choice in front of such a rare opportunity.

What should he do? Even if his brother woke up, he wouldn’t be able to give any advice!

Small Tree told him to try to feel with his heart, but given his weakness and depleted spiritual power, it’s nearly impossible to perceive things clearly. What else can he do?

After pacing around without being able to decide on which spirit furnace to pick, he returned to his seat by Long Dangdang and meditated in silence, hoping to discover a spirit furnace that would match him using his spiritual power.

The amount of elemental energy in heaven and earth was abundant in this place, which helped Long Dangdang recover quickly. As he gradually regained his spiritual energy, he suddenly felt a slight movement in the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace on his chest, as if it had just "woken up".

Immediately, he urged the flow of spiritual energy into the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace, which increased the speed of his recovery by absorbing energy.

While he was meditating, a realization struck Long Kongkong. He was here to choose a spirit furnace and his current core spirit furnace was the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace. Even though Small Tree was extraordinarily powerful with her Wisdom Spirit Furnace, its function was mainly to assist. She had also mentioned that the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace would be his core. So, without any idea on how to choose the spirit furnace, wouldn’t it be optimal to pick something that complements the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace? Or even like Small Tree, a furnace that can augment the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace?

This thought instantly cleared his mind. He immediately intensified the energy flowing into the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace while reopening his eyes to unveil his devouring domain.

Without the amplification from Small Tree, he cannot bring forth the Celestial Abyss Domain. Yet, the devouring domain should still largely restore his spiritual power. The devoured spiritual energy would replenish his consumption, while also speeding up his cultivation. Otherwise, how could he have caught up with the others so quickly after his initial entrance to the Spirit Furnace Academy?

As his devouring domain spread, the spirit furnaces that came into contact with it reacted differently: some naturally retreated while others remained still, absorbing hardly anything from them.

Long Kongkong slowly rose and began to walk, letting his devouring domain to gradually envelop the spirit furnaces while silently observing their reactions.

Soon, different spirit furnaces showed varying tendencies under the influence of his devouring domain. The majority showed discomfort and tried to dodge its contact. Still, others remained motionless, which Long Kongkong assumed were of high-quality spirit furnaces.

Beyond that, the reactions of some spirit furnaces were noticeably unusual. For example, one spirit furnace shone an eerie light and pushed away the devouring domain’s power like a fierce tornado upon contact. Another spirit furnace tried to aggressively approach but was slapped away by Long Dangdang.

The most intriguing one was a spirit furnace which drew Long Kongkong’s attention.

As soon as this furnace made contact with his devouring domain, it started to rotate around it. The furnace was unusual, looking like a star and was radiating a faint golden glow. Upon touching his devouring domain, it emitted a gentle gold light towards the sky as if searching for something, not towards Long Kongkong.

This spirit furnace orbited his devouring domain in a regular manner. When Long Kongkong narrowed his devouring domain, the orbit of the furnace adjusted to a smaller circle. It kept rotating strictly on the peripheral of his devouring domain, a peculiar behavior.

There seemed to be an affinity between this star-like spirit furnace and the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace! This was the only spirit furnace that gave such a feeling.

Long Kongkong attempted to retract his devouring domain. Instantly, the star-shaped spirit furnace flew towards Long Kongkong while following the shrinking field.

When it flew to him, Long Kongkong stretched out his hand and held it. The spirit furnace showed no intention of breaking free. Holding this furnace in one hand, he then summoned the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace with his other hand.

His method of testing the compatibility between the two furnaces was simple and crude: he brought them together directly.
