"Who is Lu Chen? Is he crazy? Is he going to the place where the aftershocks of the battle between Tianyuan Great Emperor and Nine Heavens Sword Intent occurred?"
"No way, that place has extremely strong destructive power and rampant Emperor's Might. Can Lu Chen withstand it?"
"I don't think so either. Even top-tier Supremes can't enter it. How could he, a Great Saint, possibly enter..."
At this moment, the many Prodigy powerhouses who were tempering their Physical Bodies in the West City Ruins also noticed Lu Chen's steps and discussed amongst themselves, their faces filled with disbelief.
The West City Ruins were the ruins created by the Emperor's Battle between Tianyuan Great Emperor and Nine Heavens Sword Emperor.
Both of them were Peak Great Emperor powerhouses in the Divine Wilderness Realm over a hundred thousand years ago, their strength standing at the Peak of the Divine Wilderness Realm.
Originally, they were close friends.
However, both of them fell in love with the same woman, and their great battle erupted because of that woman.
The battle between the two sides was extremely fierce, almost shattering the entire sky at that time.
The aftershocks of their battle scattered across the West City of Tian Yuan Imperial City, creating these eternally unchanging West City Ruins.
Even after more than a hundred thousand years, there is still powerful Nine Heavens Sword Intent and Tianyuan Emperor's Might.
Even ordinary Supremes cannot step into it.
Therefore, the surrounding Prodigies did not believe that Lu Chen could enter it.
Lu Chen ignored the discussions of the surrounding Prodigies and instead walked slowly towards the center of the aftershock zone.
As Lu Chen approached, the surrounding Sword Intent and pressure became increasingly terrifying, as if they wanted to completely tear and suppress everything around.
Gradually, Lu Chen's Physical Body slowly began to tremble slightly.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"
Under the continuous enhancement of Sword Intent and pressure, Lu Chen's Undying Immortal Scripture, Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, Chaotic Sacred Body, Supreme Bone, and many other powerful foundations all radiated immense power, resisting the terrifying pressure and Sword Intent around them.
"As expected, it's powerful; a Peak Great Emperor is indeed terrifying!" Lu Chen muttered in his heart, seeing that he was still under immense pressure despite displaying many terrifying powers.
Originally, Lu Chen thought that he could easily enter the battle aftershock zone of the two top Great Emperors.
Now it seems he underestimated the power of a Peak Great Emperor.
However, Lu Chen was not overly worried. After displaying many powers, he could already withstand these powerful pressures and Sword Intent.
Moreover, Lu Chen had already walked halfway, with only half the journey left to reach the center of the aftershock zone.
"Holy crap, Lu Chen is really going to enter the aftershock zone..."
"Heh heh, he's just a show-off, clearly just a Great Saint, yet he insists on doing something he can't do..."
"That's right, entering the center of the aftershock zone, I don't know which Divine Being thought of it, it's simply outrageous..."
"Exactly, what's the benefit of going in? Besides enduring more pain, it's completely worthless..."
The many top Prodigy powerhouses in the West City Ruins also realized that Lu Chen was going to enter the center of the aftershock zone and began to discuss.
Although those Supreme powerhouses could not enter the core of the aftershock zone, their Soul Power could easily penetrate it.
Countless top powerhouses had investigated, and there were no treasures whatsoever in the West City Ruins.
Moreover, in the core area, the overly strong pressure and Sword Intent could not increase the speed of Physical Body tempering; instead, it would affect the tempering effect, resulting in a net loss.
In the core area of the aftershock zone, Lu Chen continued to walk forward step by step.
Because the pressure and Sword Intent were becoming increasingly terrifying, Lu Chen's Dragon Scale Emperor Armor also appeared at this moment.
On Lu Chen's body, scales of a Dragon appeared around him, resisting everything in the surroundings.
At the same time, Lu Chen also activated the power of the Chaos Clock and the star god dao diagram, secretly protecting his Physical Body and Divine Soul.
Due to the activation of many powers, Lu Chen's Physical Body had reached its Peak, and the pressure and Sword Intent could no longer stop Lu Chen's steps.
Lu Chen, step by step, steadily and slowly entered the central area of the aftershock zone.
Half an hour later, Lu Chen finally stepped into the center of the aftershock zone.
The Sword Intent and pressure here had reached their Peak, the space was completely distorted, and the heavy sense of oppression seemed to suppress everything into nothingness.
"It should be up ahead, the top-tier Supreme Treasure that Tianyuan Great Emperor and Nine Heavens Sword Emperor obtained in the Divine Ruins!"
After entering the center of the aftershock zone, Lu Chen stared intently at the territory ahead.
Then, Lu Chen opened his double pupils.
In an instant, the entire world became different in Lu Chen's eyes.
Lu Chen's gaze seemed to be able to see through all Origin; the powerful Nine Heavens Sword Intent and the terrifying will of Tianyuan Great Emperor in the surroundings, under Lu Chen's double pupils, also seemed to transform into profound streams of power.
However, Lu Chen didn't care about these Sword Intent and Great Emperor's wills; his gaze turned towards the bottom of the aftershock zone.
His profound gaze penetrated the ground, looking beneath the earth.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"
After a while, Lu Chen's gaze saw an ancient Divine Furnace, entirely reddish-gold, deep within the ground.
The Divine Furnace was nine feet nine inches high, its body inscribed with extremely powerful Divine Runes. Each Divine Rune was cast from liquid Scarlet Sun Fire Essence, emitting an exceptionally scorching aura.
From its mouth, extremely brilliant golden rays erupted, continuously scorching the surrounding space.
Above, the Nine Heavens Sword Intent and the Emperor's Might of Tianyuan Great Emperor continuously suppressed below, firmly sealing the powerful Divine Furnace.
"Everyone says Tianyuan Great Emperor and Nine Heavens Sword Emperor fought an Emperor's Battle for a woman. How do they know that, in fact, it was for this Sun God Furnace!" Lu Chen muttered in a low voice, looking at the powerful Divine Furnace beneath the ground.
The Sun God Furnace is a top-tier Divine Furnace forged from Sun God Gold and Scarlet Sun Fire Essence, containing the power of ultimate Yang and ultimate rigidity.
It is not only a top-tier Alchemy Divine Artifact, but also contains the Sun True Fire, which is of ultimate Yang and ultimate rigidity, capable of burning the sky and boiling the seas. Legend says it was a treasure of an Immortal from the Immortal Realm, which accidentally fell into the Divine Ruins and was then obtained by Tianyuan Great Emperor and Nine Heavens Sword Emperor.
At that time, Tianyuan Great Emperor and Nine Heavens Sword Emperor ventured into the Divine Ruins together and by chance obtained this Sun God Furnace.
Neither of them would give way, both wanting this top-tier Supreme Treasure.
Thus, they engaged in an Emperor's Battle.
However, in that Emperor's Battle, neither of them emerged victorious, so they suppressed the Sun God Furnace deep beneath Tian Yuan Imperial City.
They agreed to fight again later, but unexpectedly, fate intervened, and both encountered various incidents, preventing them from fighting again.
The Sun God Furnace has remained sealed beneath the West City Ruins ever since.
"No matter what, the Sun God Furnace is mine!"
Lu Chen took a deep breath, then unleashed his power, surging downwards, slowly pulling out the Sun God Furnace, which was of ultimate Yang and ultimate rigidity, from beneath the ground.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"
As the Sun God Furnace was slowly pulled out, the temperature of the entire West City Ruins seemed to slowly rise.
