The "Face of Earth" of the furnace was finally activated, aimed at the Earth Elemental Plane —the realm of Endless mountains and metal continents.
A murky, brownish-yellow hammer crashed down like a collapsing pillar of heaven; it was not matter, but a solvent for concepts such as "Sturdiness," "stability," and "Eternity."
The first mountain that the giant hammer struck, the Everlasting Solidity Peak, was more than ten thousand times harder than diamond. Instead of breaking, it directly decomposed into a stream of elementary particles.
The flow of matter particles poured down like a sandfall, engulfing the plain below, which itself began to decompose.
A chain reaction was triggered: the decomposition of one mountain caused the decomposition of ten surrounding mountains, and so on, leading to the decomposition of a hundred mountains... a geometric progression.
At the same time, the earth is no longer Sturdiness and becomes like viscous mud, but this is not ordinary mud; it is a transitional state in which the concept of structure is being lost.
The mountain range sank into the mud, as if sinking into a bottomless swamp, maintaining its shape as it sank until it was completely submerged.
The metal vein melts into a liquid metal river, but the water doesn't flow; it merely trembles, boils, and then evaporates into metal vapor.
The Earth Elemental Plane is the "foundation" of the Elemental Dimension. Once the foundation is destroyed, the structural integrity of the entire dimension begins to collapse.
At the center of the Elemental Dimension, a vortex that devours everything appears; it is not Black Hole, but a hole in "existence" itself that is leaking out.
The space at the edge of the vortex peeled away like shattered glass, revealing the empty Void behind it.
The Earth Elemental Plane boasts the most magnificent architectural civilization in the Elemental Dimension: the Royal City of Ten Thousand Mountains. This is a colossal city carved directly into a continuous mountain range, with city walls formed by cliffs, palaces by caves, and streets by canyons.
It can be subjected to the heavy hammer of the Elemental Furnace.
The cliff walls softened and flowed like melting candles.
The pillars of the cave palace broke one by one, and when the dome collapsed, it didn't crash down, but dissipated into mist.
The canyon streets were filled with the surging "material mud," from which occasionally surfaced half-sculptures, building ruins, or the petrified shells of elemental dwellers who couldn't escape.
The Fire of Eternity of the Earth Forge, the sacred site of earth elemental artisans, has been forcibly extinguished—not cooled, but its "burning" function has been removed.
All thirteen Mountain Heart artifacts being forged have been scrapped, their materials degenerating into ordinary stones.
The master craftsmen tried to preserve a spark of civilization with their last strength, but all the memory crystals that held their knowledge shattered. What floated out of the fragments was not knowledge, but a sigh of despair.
A monumental complex that records the entire history of the Earth Element civilization, each stone tablet thousands of feet high and covered with runes.
The Elemental Furnace did the cruelest thing without any emotion.
The text on the stone tablet automatically rearranged, transforming into a hymn praising the achievements of the Federation.
The stone tablet's material degenerated from Subordinate God, Eternity Stone to ordinary sandstone, and then rapidly weathered in the wind.
The oldest Creation Stele, Legend have been carved from the first stone at the birth of the dimension, attempted to resist, its body lighting up with primordial runes... Then the runes went out one by one, like candles being extinguished. The monument finally turned into the finest dust, and even the dust disappeared without a trace within three seconds.
Before civilization's complete demise, an earth elemental elder used petrification magic to fix himself atop the last mountain peak. Facing the direction of the furnace, he unleashed a deafening roar from his petrified vocal cords:
"Spellcasters! You can destroy mountains, but the spirit of the mountains..."
Before he finished speaking, the mountain peak where he stood began to disintegrate.
The elder's petrified body turned to ash from its feet upwards, and in its last moment before completely dissipating, its stone eyes reflected not fear, but a deep, Eternity resentment.
But it didn't work.
The resentment of the weak towards the strong is merely a badge of honor on the chest of the strong.
The Elemental Furnace unleashed wave after wave of attacks, pushing its power to its limit.
However, it cannot instantly annihilate all life in the entire Elemental Dimension, including all life in the four elemental planes.
We can only strike at the most core and most important parts.
However, any crackdown on these areas will inevitably encounter resistance.
The elemental civilizations are not weak.
They also have a large number of strong individuals.
True God, Main God, Supreme God.
There are strong individuals at every level.
Furthermore, the elemental units are also extremely powerful.
It's not just the King of Elements and the Four Elemental Lord who possess combat power.
Faced with the attack of the Elemental Furnace, many powerful elemental beings launched a counterattack.
An elder of the wind element, dressed in a cyan-gold robe and wielding a long, slender wind-blade sword, glared angrily at the Elemental Furnace above. After gathering his strength, he unleashed a powerful strike.
Buzz!!
Behind it, a magnificent storm figure emerged in the space, its body wreathed in lightning and hurricanes. When it first appeared, it was only a hundred meters long, but in an instant, less than a second, it had expanded billions of times, and the storm's blade light filled the heavens and the earth.
"Storm Sword Saint!!"
One by one, the powerful wind elementals wept with joy, recognizing the name of this powerful being. This was a mighty Supreme God had been traveling far and wide for many years, and they never expected to find him in the Wind Elemental Plane at this moment.
Many powerful figures followed this Storm Sword Saint in his actions.
A roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
"A filthy, despicable spellcaster!!"
"Take this!!"
"Infinity Storm!!"
"World-Extinguishing Flame!"
A series of terrifying attacks, imbued with elemental light, illuminated the entire Elemental Dimension, which had been dimmed by the arrival of the Elemental Furnace.
Within the shattered space, countless fragments of space howled, intertwining various colors into a strange and unpredictable spectacle, both audible and silent.
One by one, the Main God, Supreme God, and even True God and Demigod of the elemental beings took action, and the elemental forces worked together to unleash a vast and mighty power.
Their attacks were like chains of element, binding the Elemental Furnace.
"Can it succeed?!"
Some elemental life forms are dazzling and full of anticipation.
Most elemental beings have no concept of the power of the Elemental Furnace.
Especially young elemental life forms.
In the next moment, they understood what Miracle Creation was.
But that was the last moment of his life.
"Boom!!"
Above, the Elemental Furnace, wreathed in seven-colored light, simply and gently struck forward, causing the attacks from the elemental powerhouses to dim and shatter.
Immediately afterwards, the terrifying power of the collision erupted in all directions, transforming into an even more horrific Destruction Tide. Wherever it swept, swathes of elemental life perished, vanished, and disintegrated!
Such a cataclysmic scene seemed to be a declaration to all elemental life forms in the entire Elemental Dimension that the Elemental Furnace was an irresistible force in the Adrian Federation.
Many elemental life forms were in despair.
But most elemental life forms still chose to resist.
Even if it's like a moth drawn to a flame.
The last vestiges of a civilization are being rapidly depleted.
The four Elemental Lord watched with eyes wide with rage, yet were powerless to do anything.
They were ensnared by the Weave; once prey is caught in the web, escaping is no easy task.
The Elemental Furnace is indifferent to the dying struggles of elemental life.
It flashed slightly and arrived at the deepest part of the Elemental Dimension.
At the node where the laws of the four planes intertwine, there floats a realm that should not exist— the Chaos Continent.
It is also known as the Plane of Chaos.
Legend has it that it is the reflection of the King of Elements's dream in reality.
It is a magnificent land that only appears when the Lord of the Boundless, the King of Elements, is asleep.
Normally, it is hidden within deeper dimensions of Space-Time.
Of course, these Legend are not within the scope of the Elemental Furnace's consideration.
It itself has no logical thinking.
The Chaos Continent itself is fluid, sometimes transforming into burning Lava, sometimes into solidified crystal, sometimes disintegrating into howling storms, and sometimes coalescing into heavy mountains. Its colors shift irregularly between seven hues, its spatial structure is constantly reconstructing itself, the flow of time is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and even the laws of physics here are "suggestions rather than absolutes."
Now, a cold, Miracle Creation has arrived above the Chaos Continent, seemingly a slowly descending embodiment of Destruction.
As the four planes gradually crumbled under the attack of the Elemental Furnace, the bottom of this Miracle Creation slowly opened, and a chaotic, Magical Energy light condensed, locking onto that ever-changing continent.
Immediately afterwards, the surface of the Elemental Furnace shone brightly. There was no surge of energy, no visible attack trajectory. At this moment, the Elemental Furnace stopped all energy output, all law calculations, and even all its functions as a "Miracle Creation".
A moment later, it restarted.
The instant the restart occurred, an absolutely silent shockwave struck the Chaos Continent at a speed that surpassed the limits of cause, Fate, Space-Time.
This shockwave doesn't destroy matter, but rather it destroys the "rationality of existence."
The Eternity flow of the Chaos Continent was forcibly stopped, and the continent was locked in a random and ugly form, half of which was half-melted magma and half of which was a frozen Poison Sea, interspersed with broken crystal forests and reverse-rotating tornadoes.
This form lacks any aesthetic appeal or meaning; it is merely a state of being "forcibly fixed." The magnificent and diverse geographical units on the continent, seemingly creations of Fantasy Dimension —singing mountains, rivers flowing with starlight, campfires fueled by emotions—all begin to be "logicized."
The mountains stopped singing and began reciting cold mathematical formulas; the starlight in the river became streams of information; the emotional bonfire extinguished, and when it was rekindled, it burned "rational analysis reports."
The "absolute rationality" that the Lord of the Boundless despises most has been forcibly injected into every corner of the Chaos Continent.
Even the continent itself developed a tendency to "hate its own existence." The ground began to crack, and instead of expanding outwards, the cracks swallowed up the ground. The sky pressed down, not to collapse, but to "press itself back into nothingness." Even the air on the Chaos Continent began to try to "stop being air."
at the same time.
At the heart of the Chaos Continent, in an Eternity dreamland composed of seven-colored Mist, the consciousness of the King of Elements slowly floats in a slumber spanning billions of years.
His dreams were beautiful: the moment he rose from the primordial sea of elements at his birth; the joy of creating the first elemental life; the glory of the four monarchs kneeling before his throne; the flourishing of Elemental Dimension under his will...
The scenes were varied and numerous, all of them beautiful.
Then, the shockwave from the Elemental Furnace reached Dreamland.
The Lord of the Boundless's dream began to change.
His birth memories were altered; he dreamt that he crawled out of "failed experimental waste."
The joy of creating life turns into the fear of "creation betraying itself."
In the scene of the monarch kneeling in worship, the monarch's head suddenly rolls off, and black blood spurts from the severed neck.
The dimension of prosperity rotted, maggots bred, and turned into pus before his eyes.
A beautiful dream turned into a nightmare.
The Lord of the Boundless, who was about to awaken, frowned deeply.
His slumber was not simply sleeping.
Rather, it is a necessary means to combine Elemental Dimension and maintain the operation of rules.
However, with the onslaught of the Elemental Furnace, the Lord of the Boundless began to awaken at an accelerated pace, which meant that His previous slumber had become futile.
A second attack on the furnace followed, this time a reverse wake-up protocol.
Instead of gently waking him, it created ten thousand "loud alarm clock rings" deep within the consciousness of the Lord of the Boundless, directly nailing the concept of "you must wake up immediately" into the very foundation of the Lord of the Boundless's mind.
The Lord of the Boundless's finger twitched.
The Elemental Furnace then launched a third attack, which was also the most fatal.
It sent an existence confirmation query to the core of the Chaos Continent.
The essence of this question is, "Is it still necessary for the concept of ' King of Elements ' to exist here?"
For the Lord of the Boundless who was currently slumbering, this was the deepest blasphemy; His slumbering instincts were forcibly interrupted, forcing Him to contemplate "Do I exist?"
Once this line of thinking begins, it cannot be stopped, because the Elemental Furnace continuously provides evidence that "you may not exist."
The Lord of the Boundless's self-image in his dream began to blur, become transparent, and dissipate.
"No..." The sleeping Lord of the Boundless uttered a sound for the first time.
The sound seemed not to be a sound at all, but rather the agonizing groans of the entire Chaos Continent.
The throne belonging to the King of Elements is the embodiment of the King of Elements's concept of "rule".
But at this moment, the throne began to collapse.
During the collapse, the Elemental Throne shone with chaotic divine light, and within the light emerged phantoms of billions of elemental beings kneeling in worship, accompanied by the harmonious chanting of the entire dimension praising the king's authority.
The Elemental Throne began mobilizing the full power of the Chaos Continent in an attempt to revert the "existence priority" of the Furnace.
However, the Elemental Furnace did something that no conscious being would do: it temporarily removed its "indestructible" attribute.
Then, it used this "destructible" self as a hammer to smash the throne.
Click!!
Cracks have appeared on the Elemental Throne.
At the same time, as the Elemental Dimension teetered on the brink of collapse, the final prayers and despair of billions of elemental beings converged into a torrent of light, which also flowed into the Elemental Throne.
The next second, the dimensional core cracked open with 70,000 spatial fissures, and from each fissure gushed forth a torrent of 100% pure single elements.
The four elements intertwined, swirled, and merged in the air, forming a four-colored vortex spanning half a dimension.
At the center of the vortex, a throne stood, upon which sat a body composed of pure laws, slowly opening its eyes.
The Lord of the Boundless, the King of Elements, has finally awakened from his slumber.
