Boom!
The ground shuddered, and the entire underground area experienced a massive shift. The massive metal hammer that had been floating in the air suddenly began to slightly float upward, like an invisible hand had grasped it.
Hissss!
The energy within the hammer was seemingly stimulated, the handle crackling with electricity. Lighting manifested from the air and began to blast the handle, and the golden hammer head exploded with dazzling, sun-like energy.
In addition, all the altars and formations in this region were rapidly charged, and erupted with fiery red light. All their energy ultimately congregated on the massive metal platform.
Whoosh!
The air grew restless and began to howl as the metal platform began to radiate light. The power of the Landeshunger people, lost for countless generations, had once more appeared in the world.
Wang Chong retreated from the platform, squinting as he stared at the massive hammer.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, the massive hammer vanished, instantly slamming down onto the top of the platform with thunderous speed. The ground shook, lightning burst outward, and endless light and heat swept over the vast cavern.
Even Wang Chong was forced to take a few steps back upon being struck by the energy wave.
On the metal platform, a most intense chemical reaction seemed to have taken place. Clack! A thin crack appeared through the metal platform, and the metal box underground was pulled on by an invisible energy. Riding that surge of majestic energy from the Landeshunger energy sea, it rushed toward the surface.
Finally, in a flash of light, the mysterious metal box appeared above the metal platform.
The golden light erupting from the hammer began to gather around the metal box. Clack! A few moments later, the surface of the metal box cracked open, and it fell to the ground in countless metal pieces.
With the disintegration of the metal box, a fiery-red and dazzling object was left to float in the air, slowly turning.
Incredible! This must be the Ifrit King!
Wang Chong inwardly sighed in praise. He could tell that this object was extremely similar in terms of origin to the World-Destroying Ifrit that Khatabah had controlled, but it was several dozen times stronger.
Unfortunately, even though the Landeshunger had developed the method to create the Ifrit King, they had only gotten halfway. They had failed to truly create the Ifrit King.
But Wang Chong didn’t have the time to ponder things deeply. He quickly realized that the dormant energy of the Landeshunger people, after being awakened to summon the Ifrit King from beneath the earth, was beginning to scatter at an astonishing rate.
If this continued, it would take only an hour for this precious energy to disappear.
There’s no time!
Wang Chong immediately pushed his way through the violent tides of energy to appear in front of the metal platform. Placing his hands on its cracked halves, he activated the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, absorbing this vast energy that was countless times more bountiful than the energy of the Kegang Empire.
Rumble!
At the moment of activation, as that unimaginably boundless energy flowed in, Wang Chong felt for the first time that he was going past his upper limit. The sensation of energy in his body was like too much food being stuffed into a person’s mouth, impossible to swallow all at once.
Too much, too much…
Wang Chong immediately activated the golden seed, and the energy of the Landeshunger barely lingered in Wang Chong’s body as it was absorbed by the golden seed.
“Notice! An energy change in the golden seed has been observed. Energy reserve at 19%, 21%, 23%, 25%…” The Stone of Destiny spoke once more as the golden seed began to absorb energy at a terrifying rate.
The energy of the Kegang Empire had only brought the golden seed to a mere 17%, but in just a few moments, the golden seed had raised its level to 29%, and this number continued to rapidly climb.
Wang Chong stood motionless in front of the platform. Although he had two lives’ worth of experience, he had never before experienced the joy of absorbing so much energy.
The golden seed appeared to have a nearly limitless capacity for energy. 30%, 31%, 33%… The golden seed began to exude a brighter and brighter light.
“38%,39%,40%……”
“38%, 39%, 40%…”
Wang Chong was already pushing the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art to its maximum.
“57%,59%,61%,64%……”
“57%, 59%, 61%, 64%…”
The energy in the golden seed was growing stronger and stronger, and even though this energy was just passing through him, Wang Chong could feel that he had gotten quite a bit stronger.
“72%,73%,74%……”
“72%, 73%, 74%…”
The voice of the Stone of Destiny was constantly ringing through Wang Chong’s mind. As the golden seed continued to accumulate more and more energy, swallowing it like a whale, the sea of energy left by the Landeshunger civilization was slowly weakening. The rate of increase was slowly decelerating.
As time slowly passed, Wang Chong could sense the energy beneath him thinning, and it seemed like the golden seed was also approaching the end of its absorption.
“85%……,86%……,87%……”
“85%… 86%… 87%…”
At 87%, the energy sea finally dried up, and the golden seed ceased to increase in power.
The golden seed exuded much greater power now. If one compared the golden seed previous to this to a firefly, it could now be considered a bright lantern.
What a pity! It’s just lacking a little more!
Wang Chong regretfully sighed.
Although the golden seed had accumulated a huge amount of energy, and even Wang Chong himself had gotten significantly stronger, the golden seed had stopped at 87%, so it had not activated a new ability.
Wait; there’s still a way!
Wang Chong scanned the area, smiled, and vanished from the platform.
Wang Chong placed a single palm on the floating golden hammer, upon which its energy flowed into Wang Chong’s body.
“88%, 89%, 90%, 91%!”
Crack! The golden Landeshunger hammer broke apart into countless lightless shards that dropped to the ground.
“Still lacking 9%!”
Wang Chong looked around and quickly locked onto the fire seed of the Ifrit King floating in the air.
The golden seed would not be able to completely drain the Ifrit King of its energy, so Wang Chong sent the Ifrit King into the golden seed.
“100%!”
“100%!”
As if the last piece had been placed in a complicated puzzle, the golden seed began to blaze with a white light. At the same time, its insides experienced a quintessential transformation.
The golden seed had originally been located in Wang Chong’s head, but a moment later, it began to work its way downward through his meridians, eventually reaching his heart.
There was a soft crack, and a sliver opened on the surface of the seed, like something was about to grow from it.
The Stone of Destiny’s voice rang out in Wang Chong’s mind.
“Sufficient energy has been accumulated. A new ability of the golden seed is in the process of being unlocked! 55%… 87%… 100%!
“Congratulations to user on obtaining the advanced ability ‘Foundation Dimension’!
“Description: This ability was activated due to the fact that a significant amount of the world’s foundation energy was contained in the nature and chaos energy that user provided.
“The Foundation Dimension is a special dimension created through foundation energy. User can use the Foundation Dimension to obtain several special abilities!
“Notice: foundation being, the Ifrit King (Incomplete) has been discovered. Would user like to use the Foundation Dimension to nurture the foundation being and assist in the creation of the true Ifrit King?”
A string of messages appeared in Wang Chong’s mind, with the very last message setting off a storm.
“What? The golden seed can help create the Ifrit King?!”
Wang Chong was stunned by this revelation.
The Landeshunger civilization had expended all its strength and still been unable to complete the Ifrit King. But after tens of thousands of years, Wang Chong found to his surprise that he could use the power of the golden seed to fulfill the last wish of the Landeshunger.
“Stone of Destiny, how long will it take to create the true Ifrit King?” Wang Chong asked.
“Calculating… Approximately one year!” the Stone of Destiny said.
This news was a cold bath for Wang Chong. The Ifrit was very powerful, and if the Landeshunger people had not been lying, this Ifrit King was even stronger. But the greater the power, the more difficult it was to bring into being. Even with the Foundation Dimension, it would take some time.
I hope that the Ifrit King created by the Landeshunger can be of use in the war to come! Wang Chong thought.
The Ifrit King would take at least one year to create. He could do nothing to change this, but as long as it was really as effective against the otherworldly invaders as the Landeshunger claimed, it was enough.
Kaclack!
At this moment, stones and debris began to pelt the metal shell around the Landeshunger civilization’s tomb. At the same time, the ground began to shudder.
“The Kegang Empire’s formation can’t hold for much longer! This place is about to cave in!”
Wang Chong raised his head, his eyes peering through the earth to view the Kegang Empire ruins above.
Wang Chong had left one-tenth of the Kegang Empire’s energy sea behind, but it was clear that it had run out. Without the formation’s support, this underground region was about to cave in.
