Chapter 214 The Death of Lin Yi
As the sun rose in the east the next day, Xuan Ziwen, who had been immersed in the new technological world all night, and Huo Yuhao walked toward Mingdu Square.
Today is the day Xu Tianyuan ascends the throne as emperor, and it is also the day that the Creation Hall officially begins its research mission.
Xuan Ziwen's task was to act as Huo Yuhao's deputy and work with him to refine talisman puppets.
Then, together with Huo Yuhao, they "died" in the explosion caused by the out-of-control extreme ice and fire power.
The important furnace in front of the Hall of Creation has been moved to its base.
It is cast from a variety of rare metals and its surface is engraved with complex soul guidance circuits and reliefs of ice and fire dragons.
The mission of this giant furnace today is for Lin Yi to press a button before all the people, so that the talisman puppet he crafted can be placed securely in the courtyard, thus announcing to the entire continent the rebirth and increased power of the Sun Moon Empire's soul-guided technology!
It stands quietly in front of the Hall of Creation, its massive body exuding a heavy and solid metallic texture, like a lurking beast waiting to be awakened.
Countless gazes were focused on Huo Yuhao and Xuan Ziwen as they slowly walked towards the square.
No one would criticize them for not waiting there all night for the emperor's arrival.
As everyone knows, these two researchers had been engaged in academic discussions all night long.
Even on the eve of their coronation ceremony, they remained immersed in the fervor of scientific research, a focus that is truly admirable.
The coronation ceremony began soon.
Xu Tianyuan was dressed in brand-new imperial robes, his face showing barely concealed excitement and a deliberately maintained air of authority.
On either side of the high platform, the elders of the ancestral hall, including Kong Deming, Wang Changming, and Ye Yulin, stood solemnly.
The members of the Hongchen family also attended in their finest attire, and Meng Hongchen's gaze was almost glued to Huo Yuhao.
Orange stood among the commoners, her head bowed, her expression hidden in the shadows.
As the cannons boomed, Xu Tianyuan slowly walked onto the high platform, the flag of the Sun Moon Empire fluttering in the wind.
He turned around, took a deep breath, and his gaze swept across the dense crowd in the square before finally settling on Huo Yuhao.
Lin Yi is the only one who can support him to become the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire and even the entire Douluo Continent.
Kong Deming will be unable to restrain Huo Yuhao, who already possesses a Martial Soul True Body, even when he is in charge of the Soul Sect. The Hall of Worship will also be unable to control the Azure Dragon Guard.
However, Lin Yi can. Once his Ice and Fire Creation Furnace reaches the third level, it will become a national treasure of the Sun Moon Empire.
"Today, I ascend the throne as Emperor, and I will certainly carry on the legacy of my late father, building on past achievements and forging a new path!"
Xu Tianyuan's voice resounded throughout the square through the amplified soul guide device, and the cheers of the crowd surged like waves.
"And today, it is also the moment when the Soul Guidance Technology of my Sun Moon Empire enters a new chapter!"
Xu Tianyuan raised his arm high, pointing to the towering furnace in front of the Hall of Creation: "The Hall of Creation, the future new sacred ground for soul guidance of my Sun Moon Empire!"
Buzz!
The silent giant furnace in front of the Hall of Creation seemed to be awakened by the declaration, and suddenly emitted a deep and resonant hum!
This is the Soul Master of the Creation Hall driving the control button, making it display its divine power.
The intricate soul-guiding circuits on the surface of the giant furnace seemed to be ignited by an invisible force, lighting up layer by layer from bottom to top.
The icy blue light and the blazing crimson light, like two awakened dragons, spiraled and coiled upwards along the furnace body.
The two dragons seemed to come alive, their scales shimmering, as if they might take flight at any moment.
The red and blue light grew brighter and brighter, eventually converging at the top of the furnace.
boom!
A massive beam of light, interwoven with red and blue, shot up from the top of the furnace without warning, piercing straight into the sky!
The beam of light tore through the morning sky, dyeing the drifting clouds red and blue.
At that moment, a rain of light fell from the sky, and Huo Yuhao walked towards the square from the hazy part of the rain of light.
The Sun Moon Empire went to great lengths to promote Lin Yi's identity.
"Master Lin," Xu Tianyuan proclaimed, "please demonstrate to the world the future of my Sun Moon Empire!"
Huo Yuhao remained silent, but simply raised his hand and summoned the Transformation Qi Refining Furnace.
A massive furnace, four meters in diameter, crashed heavily onto Sun and Moon Square in front of hundreds of thousands of onlookers.
Huo Yuhao took to the air with the help of his flying soul tool, his voice calm: "Today I will use the Ice and Fire Creation Furnace as a catalyst to forge an unprecedented soul tool."
"Its name is Fu Kui, and it's a true humanoid soul tool!"
Xuan Ziwen appeared just in time to Huo Yuhao's side and handed him various rare metals needed to refine talisman puppets.
These rare metals were thus openly displayed on the ground.
The Sun Moon Empire was not afraid of the spies from the Douluo Three Kingdoms gathering information.
From the perspective of the Sun and Moon Empire, without the Ice and Fire Creation Furnace, even if they knew which rare metals were needed to refine the talisman puppet, they could not possibly replicate it successfully.
Moreover, Lin Yi's talisman puppet can be upgraded as the materials are upgraded.
Even if Douluo Three Kingdoms manages to find a substitute for the Ice and Fire Creation Furnace, by then Lin Yi will probably be able to refine level nine soul tool-level talisman puppets.
In the crowd, Meng Hongchen clasped her hands tightly to her chest, her eyes filled with admiration and anticipation.
Huo Yuhao formed hand seals, and the flames in the furnace suddenly surged.
His movements were fluid and graceful, and he quickly melted the rare metals into flowing molten metal.
As the refining process continued, the chemical refining furnace began to emit a low hum.
The red and blue dragons on it transformed into phantoms that roamed in mid-air, emitting silent roars.
The vast and pure ice and fire energy spread out in waves like a tide, giving the people in the front row a strange sense of oppression, a mixture of heat and cold.
"The dragon spirit manifests, the sun and moon rise in tandem—this is the future of the empire!"
A deafening roar of cheers and gasps erupted from the crowd, the sound almost lifting the square off its heights.
Xu Tianyuan stood upright on the high platform, his face full of pride.
He could almost see the glory of the Sun Moon Empire's soul guides being pushed to its peak at this moment!
However, Xuan Ziwen, standing behind Huo Yuhao, felt his heart pounding wildly in his chest like a drum.
He knew that this seemingly glorious peak was about to plummet from its height.
Huo Yuhao's fingertips traced across the void, and the metallic liquid gradually condensed into a human-shaped outline.
"It's about to begin."
Huo Yuhao spoke to Xuan Ziwen through telepathic resonance: "Elder Yi and Tianmeng will work together to cover for us later. You and I should hurry and escape into the undead demiplane."
"Elder Yi's head bone itself has spatial attributes, and coupled with Elder Yi's mastery of spatial power, the worshippers will not notice anything unusual."
Xuan Ziwen replied, "Understood."
Huo Yuhao raised both hands, palms facing upwards, and then slowly rose up.
As he moved, the Qi Refining Furnace rose into the air again and again.
The furnace gradually became transparent, allowing people to see the skeleton, joints, and even the outer shell of the talisman puppet inside.
However, just as the chemical refining furnace had risen three meters, it suddenly began to tremble violently!
The phantoms of the red and blue dragons suddenly expanded, and an aura far exceeding that of before erupted from them!
This is the power of the ultimate ice and the ultimate fire!
Kong Deming, standing below the platform, suddenly realized what was happening.
Lin Yi had consumed too many rare and precious herbs in the past few months, and even refined many strange items using the Ice and Fire Creation Furnace. Under the effect of his third soul skill, Devouring Vortex, his power, which was originally close to the limit, had long since reached a critical point.
Now, with the furnace being opened to refine the talisman puppet, the previously dormant power within the martial soul has completely erupted, actually evolving to the dual extreme level in one fell swoop!
This was originally something to celebrate.
However, Kong Deming and Wang Changming noticed at the same time that Huo Yuhao's expression had become extremely solemn.
hold head high-!
Two earth-shattering dragon roars rang out in succession!
Then, the two ice and fire dragon shadows that had reached their peak collided violently!
"Oh no! Quick, save Lin Yi!"
Kong Deming's expression changed drastically, and he instantly transformed into a silver streak of light, rushing towards the center of the square.
He had witnessed the fusion of the ice and fire dragons before and knew that this was a power that Lin Yi could not control at present.
Lin Yi couldn't even control the near-ultimate level of ice and fire fusion, so the ultimate level of water and fire fusion would definitely kill him!
The Qi Refining Furnace trembled violently, and the dragon shadows on the furnace walls flickered wildly, as if it would collapse at any moment!
The two ultimate dragon shadows became completely intertwined, transforming into a dazzling pillar of red and blue light!
The power of extreme ice and extreme fire collided, unleashing a terrifying energy far beyond imagination!
boom-!
A violent energy storm swept across the entire plaza, and blinding red and blue light pillars exploded, like an out-of-control torrent, instantly engulfing Huo Yuhao and Xuan Ziwen!
The entire Sun and Moon Plaza fell silent at first, and then a huge chaos erupted!
On the high platform, Xu Tianyuan's excitement and majesty vanished completely.
He stared blankly as the destructive pillar of light devoured the glory of his coronation ceremony, and swallowed the symbol of the future of the Sun and Moon Empire—Lin Yi!
Kong Deming's silver figure forcefully charged forward through the energy storm, attempting to rush into the core of the explosion to rescue people.
However, the energy turbulence generated by the collision of extreme ice and fire had a significant impact on him.
The reason why something is called "ultimate" is because it has reached the pinnacle of a certain attribute.
Even a powerful figure like Kong Deming had to pause before their power.
"Lin Yi! Xuan Ziwen!"
As the explosion subsided, the scene before everyone's eyes widened in horror.
Many indistinguishable pieces of charcoal were intertwined, and the outline of flesh and blood could be vaguely seen.
Kong Deming's hands trembled slightly.
He crouched down and picked up a star sapphire bracelet from one of the pieces of charcoal.
This was the gift he gave Lin Yi on the day they first met.
Kong Deming could sense the power of the remaining protective shield from above.
In the face of the violent explosion, Lin Yi and Xuan Ziwen's first reaction was not to protect themselves, but to protect the blueprints and soul guidance theory papers in their storage soul tools.
Kong Deming's eyes were vacant, as if his soul had been ripped out.
Wang Changming staggered over to Kong Deming's side and took the starlight sapphire bracelet that Kong Deming handed him blankly.
He carefully infused his mental energy into it.
The bracelet's interior was intact, with thick stacks of research manuscripts, drawings, and several bound notebooks neatly arranged inside.
The top book was none other than "The Improvement Plan for the Wall of Sighs".
Wang Changming blankly took out the notebook and found it filled with densely written improvement ideas.
Although no effective solution was ultimately provided, Lin Yi's dedication and thoughtful consideration of this technology were evident in his words.
Wang Changming's eyes instantly reddened.
"No!"
No one knows whether that mournful roar came from Wang Changming or Kong Deming.
It could be Xu Tianyuan, or it could be Meng Hongchen, or it could be Wang Yiheng.
Even the people in Sun and Moon Square might be involved.
In short, Lin Yi, on whom the Sun Moon Empire placed boundless hopes, died today from the explosion caused by his inability to control the fusion of the two ultimate powers.
