Furnace Mountain is nearly 5,000 meters above sea level.
A pillar of fire, seventy or eighty meters thick, shot out from the mountaintop and soared into the sky.
This is clearly why the sky is burning.
Miss Sword Case suddenly spoke in a low voice, " The Fire of the Five Elements isn't normal. Something has been added to it, making it burn even more intensely."
Did they add something extra?
Qin Ze had wondered before if the Fire of the Five Elements was a bit too overpowered.
Aside from SSS-level alien beasts, which are completely unaffected, all other alien beasts are unable to withstand it; it's even more overpowered than the Brother Devour.
It's not the normal Fire of the Five Elements, which inevitably makes people think all sorts of things.
Have you ever wondered why a fire-attribute flying sword would appear here?
Miss Sword Case replied, "I have amnesia; I can't remember anything."
Qin Ze said helplessly, "Alright."
Miss Sword Case's cleverness is indeed all used for rebellion.
Qin Ze sped towards Furnace Mountain.
As expected, the fire-attribute flying sword was inside that gushing pillar of fire.
However, something strange happened.
Although his senses indicated that he was constantly accelerating forward, the distance between him and the Furnace Mountain remained unchanged. Suddenly, he dreamt of returning to the Spirit Energy Tower.
"Is it also related to dreams?"
Qin Ze didn't notice anything amiss and hesitated whether to just lie down and sleep on the spot.
He tried to return the way he came, but it was still just a sensory movement; he was actually standing still.
"It's time."
We're trapped in time.
Miss Sword Case's voice became very serious.
Qin Ze raised his eyebrows upon hearing this and continued trying to move forward and backward.
He then realized that not only had he not moved, but the fire in the sky and the sand on the ground were also in the exact same state as before.
Miss Sword Case said, "We're forever stuck in the last second."
Qin Ze muttered to himself, " Cage of Time, huh?"
Rules, especially the Time Rule, are not something that ordinary people can control or influence.
Could it be that gods truly exist in this world?
The fact that Furnace Mountain is surrounded by a " Cage of Time " further suggests that there is something extraordinary on Furnace Mountain, probably not just a fire-attribute flying sword.
Even if the "treasure" is incredibly tempting, for Qin Ze at this point, it's something he can only admire from afar, not touch.
To reach Furnace Mountain, one must first break free from this Cage of Time.
The only thing that can defy the rules is the rules themselves.
Qin Ze attempted to use his Paopao ability to Void Traversal.
But when he stepped out of the void, he was still in the same place.
Seeing this, the clones started watching the drama unfold.
"That's it, I'm done for."
"Are you even capable? My diamond shovel is itching to get to work."
"I'm going to sleep for a while. Remember to wake me up when these boring parts are over."
"Skip!"
Are we going to spend the rest of our lives here?
"..."
Spending the rest of my life together is impossible.
With an ever-increasing number of cattle and horses cultivating, one day they will break through to become gods, and at that time they will naturally break free of the Cage of Time.
But Qin Ze couldn't wait.
He gazed at the flames in the sky, and suddenly an idea struck him: the power of the five elements is also a rule.
"Use a water-attribute flying sword and poke a hole in the sky!"
Upon hearing this, Miss Sword Case immediately summoned her water-attribute flying sword.
A blue stream of light shot into the sky, creating a giant waterspout.
With a deafening roar, the waterspout exploded against the fiery sky, extinguishing the fire within a ten-mile radius in an instant. Large plumes of white mist rose into the air, filling Qin Ze's vision with a vast expanse of white.
"There's hope!"
The water-attribute flying sword broke through the Cage of Time.
The Molten Steel People in the city wept with joy when they saw the fires on the Furnace Mountain extinguished.
The clan chief's eyes widened, his body trembling with excitement.
"It's destroyed! It's really destroyed!"
He saw hope for the continued survival of the Molten Steel Civilization.
The water-attribute flying sword unleashed its power, constantly stirring up the sea of fire above Furnace Mountain.
The Fire of the Five Elements and Water of the Five Elements clashed fiercely, neither willing to yield.
Qin Ze tried to follow the trajectory of the water-attribute flying sword.
But even with the flying sword, he remained stagnant.
Qin Ze cursed, "You're a scoundrel, aren't you?"
"If you won't let me play, then nobody can play!"
"Let there be a huge flood!"
Miss Sword Case had been cooped up for so long, was finally released.
She happily agreed, manipulating her water-attribute flying sword to create waves a hundred meters high, which crashed one after another onto the Furnace Mountain.
In an instant, the entire mountain shook violently.
In a blood-red space somewhere.
A man dressed in a light blue outfit sat on the ground.
Before him stood a mass of Flesh and Blood more than ten meters tall.
Several black, raised lines crisscrossed the surface of the Flesh and Blood, pulsating rhythmically.
At the heart of this mass of Flesh and Blood, a flying sword, as dazzling and bright red as a raging fire, was embedded.
Dense flames spread outward from the sword, covering most of the Flesh and Blood.
A winding, slender red line emerged from the hilt of the sword, rising upwards and disappearing into the darkness.
Rumble--
The crimson space suddenly trembled violently, accompanied by a tremendous roar.
The man opened his three eyes, lined up in a row, his expression cold and stern.
The Flesh and Blood before him roared with laughter, "Hahaha! I've finally waited for this day!"
" Sanmu, oh Sanmu, I'm about to be free!"
The man named Sanmu said calmly, "Dream on."
The Flesh and Blood then let out a strange, cacophony of laughter. "When this sword was plunged in, I did some divination for myself."
"I will be leaving this world soon."
Sanmu scoffed, "If your divination were accurate, would you still be here right now?"
The Flesh and Blood remained silent for a moment, then roared angrily, "You can question my strength, but you cannot doubt my ability to divine!"
Sanmu scoffed, "Fortune telling? Just a gambler's errand."
These words seemed to strike a nerve, causing his Flesh and Blood to swell rapidly.
The flying sword emitted melodious sword cries, and the flame patterns on the Flesh and Blood began to scald and burn fiercely.
"Ouch~"
"Stop burning!"
With a cry of pain, the swollen Flesh and Blood returned to normal, and the fire patterns gradually faded.
Sanmu said calmly, "You can stay here forever, until you die."
Upon hearing this, Flesh and Blood retorted indignantly, "Why? Do Strange Beast deserve to die?"
"I am a benevolent and lawful Strange Beast, unlike those degenerate scoundrels."
" The Goddess of Life is also my faith; you should not restrict my freedom!"
The Sanmu's eyes showed no emotion. "You destroyed seven worlds and wiped out trillions of lives, you shouldn't have died?"
The Flesh and Blood -looking man said weakly, "Look? You're being petty again!"
"I didn't destroy Land of Faith; it was just an ordinary world."
"Aren't chives meant to be harvested?"
"It'll grow longer anyway."
Sanmu closed his eyes and meditated, no longer paying attention to the other person.
The Flesh and Blood -blood creature said to itself, "I know you've set up Time Rule outside, but I've also taken countermeasures."
"In your current weakened state, even a Level Nine Martial Artist could take your life."
Sanmu said in a deep voice, "You too."
Flesh and Blood reveled, "I'm not like you; I'm their god!"
"Let me tell your fortune; let me see if you live or die next."
The Sanmu remained silent, their Flesh and Blood amusing themselves.
Semi-transparent cards materialized in the void, neatly arranged in a row.
