Above Destiny

Chapter 287 Even the softest persimmon will burst
"It is the Heavenly Furnace after all."

Gustav, who was watching before the floating light, sighed softly.

As a director of the association, even if Gustav is stubborn, he must be able to give an explanation to all the contestants.

Why was it eliminated, what was lacking, what was insufficient, and where did the fatal mistake occur.

In other words, for the sake of his own position, everything he does must be explainable, and even understandable to people at a glance so as not to misjudge his intentions and arrangements.

The starting point of all measures must be fairness that is acceptable to everyone.

No matter how strict the standards are.

Round after round of eliminations and confrontations are perfect. As long as the winner is strong enough, the loser will have nothing to say. In an absolutely fair confrontation, there will naturally be an absolutely accurate result.

Even though everyone knows that such cruel elimination is still not comparable to reality.

Reality can be unreasonable.

Tianlu can naturally also be used.

There is no need for any more lengthy and redundant steps, nor any more slow and measured confrontations. The fire is already hot, the materials have grown completely, and now that this is the case, we can ignite the flames and burn, and from the aggregation, trigger a true transformation!
If the method of selecting geniuses is to compete in an environment that is fair to everyone, then the way to forge strong people is to be in this desperate situation that is absolutely unfair to everyone!
Why do we need fairness and reason?
Isn't this the reason why the embers are so cruel? !
boom!
In the brief silence, in the fictional world of floating light, thunder suddenly burst out.

In the fleeting flash of light, everyone instinctively looked in the same direction, at a mountain that had been completely hollowed out from the center, and a workshop with gleaming iron beneath the broken rock walls.

Even at the highest point of the workshop, looking around...

Ji Jue!

"I hold—"

The corner of Ji Jue's eye twitched once, and then again.

Even with his heels, he knew the fatal development he was about to face...

There was a rumor that if you put crabs in a bamboo basket, you don't need a lid, because the crabs below that want to climb up will naturally pull down the crab that has climbed to the top.

Although the rumor itself is nonsense, it actually makes sense in certain contexts.

For example, now...

When the sky falls, the tall ones have to bear it first. As the strongest one who has been at the top from the beginning of the exam until now and has not been threatened by anyone, they bear the brunt of the disaster and fall into the dilemma of being the target of public criticism.

If I don't destroy you first, will I wait until everyone is down to their lives before letting you kill them one by one? !
Thus, in a moment so short that it lasted less than a split second, all participants had reached a tacit understanding without any disagreement.

——Knife in hand, kill Ji Gou!

The moment he noticed it, Ji Jue's figure suddenly dived and disappeared at the highest point of the workshop, narrowly passing by a ray of light that was rushing towards him.

The fierce light penetrated the mountain as if tearing thin paper, and easily came out from the other side.

At the same time, dazzling scarlet lights lit up in the sky. Through the thick clouds, the blazing flames were rapidly magnified. In a flash, dozens of meteorites broke through the clouds and fell from the sky!

Towards Ji Jue’s workshop…

Amid the violent shaking and roar of the mountain, large pieces of rock collapsed, exposing complete or incomplete steel structures.

There is no way to fight back at all!

"Lao Lou, follow the plan and help me hold on!"

Ji Jue's panicked shout rang out from under the mountain, amplified by dozens of loudspeakers, resounding throughout the entire Luye Island: "Remember, you must buy time!"

what's the plan?
In the crystal tower, Lou Feng was watching Ji Jue's misfortune with a grin from ear to ear, but at this moment he could not help but become stunned.

When did we reach our plan?

Why should I help...

You are so fucking!!!

Ji Jue, you will die a horrible death! ! ! !

The moment he realized it, he felt like he was falling into an icy cave. Especially when the gazes from all directions were becoming increasingly dangerous, he didn't even have time to explain.

There is no need to explain, no one will believe it.

We just saw the two of you interacting passionately, I wonder what you were talking about! Besides, when you two were taking photos with your arms around each other in front of the Tianshu Gate, you didn’t even try to hide it!

Now you tell everyone that you don’t know each other and are not in the same group, who will believe you?

What a liar!
Even if they are not in the same group, so what? It's just a matter of convenience!
Among the thirteen workshops arranged in a circle, some people were too far away and couldn't hit Ji Jue on the head with two sticks at the first time, but Lou Feng was right next to them!

Let's fire one shot first...

Early death, early super life!
Ji Jue never expected them to believe those two words. At best, they just broke the illusion of "sharing the same hatred against the same enemy".

This is enough.

No matter how beautiful the words and promises are, they cannot change the reality. All the participants know in their hearts that they are not friends from the beginning...

The crystal tower where Lou Feng was located didn't even have time to react before it was enveloped by the storm that arose out of nowhere.

The bleak and raging storm appeared without warning, rising from the ground, sweeping up a vast amount of air, and creating an absolute vacuum from the core. In the vacuum, visible frost emerged from the crystal tower, climbing upwards, corroding and freezing everything from the outside to the inside...

Even the spiritual fire in the furnace in the core seemed to be sluggish. Lou Feng was shivering with cold and could not help but curse: "Shit Nine Seals! Didn't I just let you get any points in the last round? Why are you so angry?"

The Nine Seals Workshop, a giant in the northern part of the Federation, has the Nine Seals as its core heritage. These nine unique compositions and blessing sequences are said to exhaust all the changes in entropy in the world, and are full of mysteries. In terms of the use and development of the entropy system, not many people dare to compare with them. Unfortunately, the number of people who can truly master the total number of Nine Seals is as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, and even the current participants are only superficial. In terms of creation alone, it is difficult for them to pose a threat to Lou Feng.

But if we could move the workshop to the opposite door...

Hey, then you're in big trouble!
In that short moment, not only was there a fierce attack from the Nine Seals, but the coldness didn't even have time to spread before a sky-breaking roar erupted.

A strange giant mouth of flesh and blood extended from the void. Strands of flesh and blood squirmed and intertwined to form a strange face. In the flowing blood, teeth like huge rocks appeared.

——Flesh and Blood Engineering·Hundred-Eyed Giant!
He opened his mouth wide without any hesitation and bit the tower in the middle, just like eating a popsicle.

The loud sound of collapse echoed, and Lou Feng's face changed as he felt the cracks on the tower spreading rapidly!
Not only that, gravity, gravity is also rising wildly.

Under the gaze of the shadow of the throne in the distance, the violent gravity stirred the earth, setting off a frenzy that was already spreading towards the crystal tower.

Seeing that Lou Feng was in danger, the workshops that had not had time to get involved with Ji Jue immediately began to make secret plans.

Everyone can kick someone when he's down.

Especially this kind of business that requires no capital, everyone likes to do it.

No matter what, just eliminate one first!
So much so that Lou Feng even laughed.

Laughing angrily.

His face was ashen.

"Okay, okay, okay, okay, you guys are all shameless!" Lou Feng's hoarse roar echoed between heaven and earth: "Then, forget it!"

It’s bad enough that Lin Bei was hit by that bastard Ji Jue with a dung cart outside, but he even came to take the exam to become a craftsman and was targeted by you bunch of bastards. Do you really think that Lin Bei learned alchemy in vain!
click!
A deep crack appeared on the towering crystal tower, followed by a second, third, and fourth crack. Then, behind the overlapping cracks, a dazzling light shone.

Under the refraction of the crystal, dreamlike flashes spread out in an instant. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, all kinds of colors kept changing in the flowing light, like a tide, spreading indiscriminately in all directions.

In fact, more than half of the workshops were covered!

Then, a clear sound burst out from the void and into everyone's ears.

The storm dissipated, flesh and blood shriveled, gravity was disordered, shadows boiled... For a moment, endless cracking sounds rang in everyone's ears, layer upon layer, countless, connecting with each other, and in the end, it turned into a roar that penetrated the sky and the earth.

Like the tide!

But it wasn't a cracking sound.

Rather, it is the faint lingering sound of the crystal's proliferation and growth!
All over the world, in all areas covered by the phantom light, countless tiny crystals emerged from the air, running water, the ground, and even from the sequences and modules within the spiritual circuits and workshops...even from the blessings!

No matter the pollution of great evil or the aura of supreme goodness, there is no difference at all.

Everything that could be called spiritual essence was rapidly condensed into crystals under the phantom light at a speed visible to the naked eye and could no longer be used!

All the spiritual essence from the outside world, or the spiritual essence that had left the workshop and was running in the outside world, all changed and crystallized under the reflection of the strange light, becoming a solid that was difficult to use.

In an instant, magic was banned throughout the entire area.

Not only that, if countless dust-like crystals finer than dust suddenly appeared in the vital equipment and core of the workshop, the consequences... would have made all the affected workshops curse out loud!

Mr. Lou, you are so special!!!
This is the unique skill that Kong Qingyan, as a master, tailored for his last disciple after combining alchemy, the Tianyuan field in which he was best, and the Lou family inheritance, [Absolute Soul Destruction]!
The workshop was overloaded and turned into an amplifier, shaping Lou's spiritual essence and affecting it indiscriminately within the area.

Not only does it instantly break the changes and flow of all spiritual essences and interrupt the changes of blessings, but it also penetrates the outer blockade, spreads and erodes inward, causing all inadequately protected alchemical creations to completely shut down.

Originally, Lou Feng had been practicing this unique skill day and night, and his mind was full of thoughts about how to counter Ji Jue's fluid alchemy and get back at this bastard. However, he didn't expect that after he had finally completed the workshop and hadn't done anything, he was kicked into a pit by Ji Jue.

Being treated as a soft persimmon by everyone...

They were just about to be surrounded and kicked!
“Die, die, die, die! Die for me!!!”

Lou Feng roared, and endless streams of light gathered and shone straight towards the nearest Nine Seals Workshop next to him.

Who cares? Just kill one first!
As everyone knows, the blessing of entropy is a huge consumer of spiritual essence. And in the Nine Seals Workshop, which is the best at utilizing the blessing of entropy, the amount of spiritual essence stockpiled... can only be described as a tragedy.

A roar erupted in an instant, and the entire huge workshop suddenly soared upwards. Countless crystals sprang out from every crack like weeds, and the sounds of cracking and growing were endless. A giant spiritual tree took root in the sequence and core of the Nine Seals Workshop and quickly rose from the ground!

Lou Feng grinned and clenched his five fingers.

Die to me!
At that moment, screams rang out from the roar.

So sad.

The first eliminated person appeared, but unfortunately, it was not from in front of him.

But the other side far away!

In less than half a minute, the mountain where Ji Jue's workshop was located had turned into scorched earth and collapsed in just a few seconds, since almost everyone had joined forces to attack. The flood spread, the rubble collapsed, and there was no power to resist.

There was no resistance at all.

He cooperated extremely well and allowed them to help him remove the burdens and shackles that blocked him outside the workshop, just like shedding old scales and turning them into insignificant disguises.

Then, from the darkness under the nine earths, silver light surged and raged, rising into the sky!

The real monster opened his eyes.

Roar loudly!
