Lihuo Divine Furnace

Power Progression

History

The Lihuo Divine Furnace was once a divine weapon used by Great Emperor Hengyu alongside his imperial furnace. Its materials prevented it from becoming a true Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, but it remained a ninth-level Quasi-Emperor Weapon only a step below that rank. At some point it was found by the ancestor of the Lihuo Sect, which subsequently treated it as its sect-protecting treasure. 26 29

Ji Hao made reclaiming the furnace his priority before entering Purple Mountain. When the Lihuo Sect refused his claim and its Supreme Elder attacked him with the furnace, Ji Hao used the Eight Gods Desolate Force and his Emperor Blood to summon it directly into his palm. The furnace ignored the sect elder’s weapon-control art. 25 26

After recovering it, Ji Hao used the furnace throughout Purple Mountain to protect himself, refine his divine sense and sword embryo in the Yin-Yang Eye, and attempt to free Jiang Taixu from the purple jade wall. The wall regenerated after being burned away, forcing Ji Hao to stop rather than risk awakening Purple Mountain’s sealed creatures or drawing the Beginningless Bell’s attention. 28 29

In the Fire Domain, the Lihuo Divine Furnace protected Ji Hao against Seven-Colored Divine Flame and helped suppress it for refinement. Its form and divine patterns became the model for the Living Flame’s transformation into the Saint Spirit Furnace. It later collected Nine-Colored Divine Fire to sustain the latter furnace’s month-long forging process. 35 37

After leaving the Fire Domain, Ji Hao used the furnace to contain the broken Eternal Blue Gold Sword, whose residual Void Emperor killing intent could not safely be stored in an ordinary vessel. 42

Following the revelation of his dual imperial lineage, Ji Hao temporarily retained the Hengyu Furnace. The two related vessels could resonate through the Lihuo Divine Furnace’s complete Imperial Dao Laws, allowing their combined force to reach a level comparable to two Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons. 91

At the Demon Emperor’s Tomb, Ji Hao used the paired furnaces to conceal an Extreme Dao aura. The Lihuo Divine Furnace then swallowed the Demon Emperor’s Sacred Heart, while the Hengyu Furnace transformed into a lid to seal it within. 93

Ji Hao also used the Lihuo and Hengyu Furnaces together to withstand Emperor Aura. Later, while searching for coordinates left by Shi Hao, he carried the Lihuo Divine Furnace through lethal Void Turbulence; its Extreme Dao aura formed a stellar-river-like defense, and its divine flames opened a route to the ruins within the Void. 101 153

Appearance

The furnace is a bronze vessel that can expand from roughly one inch tall to a colossal hundred-meter form. Its bronze lid shines like transparent five-colored glazed crystal, allowing its internal flames to be seen. 26

• Emits five-colored or glass-like divine flames when activated. 26 29
• Can shrink to fit in Ji Hao’s palm. 26
• Releases glazed divine light as a defensive barrier. 28
• Its appearance and internal patterns were directly imitated in the design of the Saint Spirit Furnace. 35 36
• Can open like a mouth to swallow and seal powerful objects or entities. 93

Abilities & Functions

Quasi-Emperor Weapon Power

The Lihuo Divine Furnace is a ninth-level Quasi-Emperor Weapon with a connection to Great Emperor Hengyu’s fire-based laws.

• Resonates with Ji Hao’s Hengyu Emperor Blood and can release strands of Extreme Dao aura. 29
• Its fully awakened power is dangerous enough to risk disturbing the sealed ancient creatures of Purple Mountain. 29
• Cannot safely be wielded at full strength by Ji Hao at his then-current cultivation, due to the immense divine-power expenditure. 29
• Its material limitations keep it short of becoming an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon. 29
• Retains complete Imperial Dao Laws from accompanying Great Emperor Hengyu in battle, despite being unable to become an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon because of its materials. 91
• Can resonate with the Hengyu Furnace, enabling the two vessels to display combined power comparable to two Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons. 91

Weapon Recognition and Recall

The furnace recognizes Ji Hao’s lineage and responds to his command rather than the Lihuo Sect’s control methods.

• Ji Hao recalled it from the Lihuo Sect using the Eight Gods Desolate Force and Emperor Blood. 26
• It flew from the Supreme Elder’s control, shrank, and settled in Ji Hao’s hand. 26
• The Supreme Elder’s repeated weapon-control attempts could not move it afterward. 26

Divine Flame Projection

The furnace can release immense firepower for direct combat and destruction.

• Its opened lid released a sea of Lihuo Fire against Ji Hao during the Lihuo Sect’s attempted execution. 26
• When directed at Jiang Taixu’s prison, its glass-colored flames burned away more than half of the purple jade wall before the wall regenerated. 29
• It projected five-colored divine flames to resist chaotic energy while Ji Hao harvested Medicine Kings. 31
• Its divine flames could open a route through the lethal Void Turbulence encountered during Ji Hao’s search for Shi Hao’s coordinates. 153

Protection and Suppression

The furnace functions as a defensive vessel against hostile energies, flames, and dangerous artifacts.

• It shielded Ji Hao, his divine sense, and his sword embryo inside Purple Mountain’s natural Yin-Yang Eye. 28
• It resisted the Yin-Yang Eye’s killing force while absorbing its yin-yang power. 28
• It protected Ji Hao in the eighth level of the Fire Domain while suppressing Seven-Colored Divine Flame for the Living Flame furnace to refine. 35 36
• It stored the broken Eternal Blue Gold Sword, whose lingering Void Emperor killing intent required a Quasi-Emperor Weapon to contain. 42
• Together with the Hengyu Furnace, it protected Ji Hao from the destructive pressure of Emperor Aura. 101
• It released Extreme Dao aura in the form of stellar-river-like protection, allowing Ji Hao to survive the Void Turbulence that could shred even Sages. 153

Containment and Joint Weapon Use

The Lihuo Divine Furnace can act as a sealing vessel and combine its functions with related imperial artifacts.

• It swallowed the Demon Emperor’s Sacred Heart during the raid on the Demon Emperor’s Tomb. 93
• The Hengyu Furnace served as its lid to firmly suppress the captured Sacred Heart with Extreme Dao aura. 93
• Ji Hao could use the two furnaces together to conceal their Extreme Dao presence from hostile observers. 93
• Their resonance makes the Lihuo Divine Furnace a major safeguard when Ji Hao requires power beyond his ordinary cultivation level. 91

Flame Gathering and Artifact Refinement

The furnace can collect powerful flames and support the forging of other artifacts.

• It protected Ji Hao while he crossed the Fire Domain’s higher levels. 35 36
• It captured Nine-Colored Divine Fire and transferred it into the Saint Spirit Furnace during its prolonged refinement. 37 38
• Its form and selected divine patterns were used as the blueprint for the Saint Spirit Furnace. 35 36

Relationships

• Ji Hao — Rightful claimant and current wielder; reclaimed the furnace from the Lihuo Sect and repeatedly uses it for combat, protection, refinement, travel, and containment. 26 28 29 153
• Lihuo Sect — Former possessors who claimed the furnace as their sect-protecting treasure after their ancestor found it; their Supreme Elder lost control of it when Ji Hao recalled it. 26
• Divine King Jiang Taixu — Jiang originally entered Purple Mountain seeking the furnace and was trapped there for over four thousand years; Ji Hao later used it in an unsuccessful attempt to free him. 29
• Living Flame / Saint Spirit Furnace — The Lihuo Divine Furnace served as both protection and the structural model for Ji Hao’s personally forged Saint Spirit Furnace. 35 36
• Hengyu Furnace — Its counterpart and Great Emperor Hengyu’s imperial furnace; the two can resonate to magnify their combined power, conceal their aura, and jointly seal powerful targets. 91 93 101
• Demon Emperor’s Sacred Heart — The furnace swallowed the Sacred Heart, which was subsequently sealed inside by the Hengyu Furnace. 93
• Black Emperor — Ji Hao used the furnace to knock him unconscious after their conflict. 32
