#953 - Sunfire Horn, 'Star Core' Returns

Nine-colored Chaos Tribulation.

Wind, earth, water, fire, light, darkness, space, life, destruction.

The nine-colored lightning tribulation, formed from the power of the nine major elemental forces that constitute the world, carried a terrifying aura of destruction.

Fully revealing his arrogant nature towards the lightning tribulation.

The lightning tribulation, or the laws behind it, should have been furious at this provocation, but strangely, it slowly accumulated power at its own pace.

Quan Yi withdrew the leaky golden furnace, stood back a little, and watched the scene before him.

Having dealt with lightning tribulations before, he could clearly discern the emotions behind them.

But after all this time, it was the first time he had observed such emotions.

"The lightning tribulation is actually releasing goodwill!"

Although it was unbelievable, the lightning tribulation, which came to destroy or annihilate new life, actually showed a friendly side.

This contradictory feeling left Quan Yi somewhat perplexed.

And it was at this moment that the lightning tribulation completed its charge, and a thick bolt of lightning accurately struck the little man.

Ri Jin revealed a slight, unconcealed smile, accepting the full force of the lightning tribulation without dodging or evading, while maintaining his smug posture.

However, to his own surprise, this lightning tribulation was even more 'powerless' than he had expected.

The destructive force contained in the lightning tribulation was suppressed to the extreme; on the contrary, the laws contained within tried to quickly integrate into Ri Jin's body in a very direct way.

If the punishment and reward of the lightning tribulation were primarily the former, with the latter being an attached bonus for passing the trial,

then now, the punishment had become an attachment, and the reward had become the main purpose of the lightning tribulation.

Ri Jin, who had intended to demonstrate his strength by resisting the lightning tribulation, opened his arms in surprise and looked down to observe the light of the lightning tribulation surrounding his body.

"Indeed, I was not mistaken."

The lightning tribulation's performance completely confirmed Quan Yi's conjecture.

Under the lightning tribulation's massage-like friction, Ri Jin's aura rapidly increased from its original base.

During this process, Quan Yi pondered the reasons behind this abnormal phenomenon.

"Lightning tribulations are set up as punishments and tests for those who break through the limits of the world and advance to a higher realm.

But now, the lightning tribulation favors Ri Jin so much; the reason can only be one thing.

That is, Ri Jin's breakthrough is not a threat to this world, but rather a help."

Quan Yi was not sure whether the laws of heaven and earth had foreseen his intentions for Ri Jin in advance, thus encouraging him.

Or whether the sun's own indispensable role in the universe and the world had earned Ri Jin a free pass.

But regardless of the reason, this change was entirely beneficial to Ri Jin's improvement.

The nine lightning bolts waited exceptionally considerately until Ri Jin had completely absorbed the previous one before unleashing the next.

This was completely the heavenly laws chasing after Ri Jin to feed him.

But this situation completely collapsed Ri Jin's little face, which was filled with disappointment.

A very special lightning tribulation thus ended.

When the lightning tribulation dissipated, Quan Yi, who was watching from afar, felt the gaze of the supreme law will behind the lightning tribulation.

Quan Yi met it without fear, cautiously considering the implications of this action.

One glance lasted ten thousand years.

The silent but far from peaceful gaze ended with the dissipation of the tribulation clouds.

Ri Jin, having completed his transformation, flew to Quan Yi.

When the distance between the two narrowed, a large Quan Yi metal model, more than twice the size, stood before him.

Looking up at Ri Jin, Quan Yi sighed:

"It's all habit; I shouldn't use 'little' to describe you from now on."

Starting from the previous Condensing Ring Tower, Quan Yi realized that the size of future forged objects would no longer be limited to a certain range.

He already had the ability to forge super-large metal objects.

Size was no longer a problem for him.

Quan Yi looked at Ri Jin; the boisterous fellow became quiet when he came before him, but the closeness released in his eyes was so direct.

And because of this, a sense of guilt arose in his heart.

"The core from the star is about to sneak into the core of a planet again.

Star Core, this is the name I give you, and also the first gift to celebrate your birth."

He made a fist and extended his arm; Star Core smiled and extended his arm to bump fists.

The meeting of minds allowed Star Core to feel Quan Yi's emotions, and he comforted him:

"There's no need to feel guilty; this is my mission.

It's just a transfer of location from the sun to other planets."

Star Core said this with incomparable ease and naturalness, then turned back into a rotating golden-red sphere.

Quan Yi reached out and stroked the warm metal surface full of vitality, unable to calm his emotions for a long time.

After being silent for a long time, he summoned Fire Shadow from the Shadow Space and teleported back to Taiyi Crown from space.

The star core, several meters in diameter, began to slowly descend to the ground.

Under Quan Yi's gaze, it quietly integrated into the hard ground and disappeared from sight, like a drop of water falling into the sea.

In the penetrating perspective of the Purple-Gold Dragon Eyes, the Star Core used the same power as the volcanic domain to freely shuttle through the underground world.

It was accelerating its descent to the Earth's core, heading towards the front line where the two plates clashed most fiercely without guidance.

That was a forbidden area filled with ultra-high concentrations of magma melted by force and heat.

In this position, where any existence would be ruthlessly crushed, a golden-red sphere of ever-increasing volume plunged into it.

Also at this moment, the surface of the sphere showed uneven indentations as the pressure changed.

However, the hard metal material possessed an indescribable super elasticity, absorbing all these pressures into the body.

The spiral metal patterns on its surface emitted a faint fluorescence, and it flickered from the outside to the inside, as if transporting something inside.

And in coordination with the changes in the patterns, the temperature of the hot magma accumulated here actually began to decrease.

This directly affected the upwardly climbing magma, losing its main thrust.

The volcanic eruption crisis lurking beneath the entire island was completely controlled at its source through the suppression and regulation of the Star Core.

In this process, the Star Core used its own superb elastic structure to compress the absorbed heat into the interior through enormous pressure.

After layers of superposition, it provided more energy and pressure for the incandescent white part at the core of the Star Core, which was where elemental fusion occurred.

This not only prompted the Star Core to continuously increase its own power by using the environment here, but more importantly, it could also use this to convert kinetic energy and heat into a higher and hotter solar true fire power.
