Qin Chen stepped forward, placing his right hand on the refining furnace, and with a strong pull, he lifted it effortlessly. Boom! The refining furnace was suddenly flipped open without any resistance. Then, Qin Chen's gaze settled down, and he raised his eyebrows, revealing an expression of immense surprise. Inside the refining furnace, there was nothing but a black crystal, roughly the size of a fist. As the refining furnace operated, wisps of black air flowed together, condensing into a black liquid that entered the metallic Demon head and then flowed down.
"The refining furnace has been operational for tens of thousands of years; it should be related to the formation within this treasure hall. The formation can draw energy from heaven and earth to provide power, but this crystal has been refined for tens of thousands of years and still hasn't dissipated?" Qin Chen's intuition told him that this black crystal was extraordinary. If this crystal was equivalent to the true stone of the Demon Tribe, it was at least at the level of a Holy Crystal. Otherwise, a piece of top-notch true stone would likely be completely refined and exhausted in less than a day under such a large formation. How could it continue to operate for so long? This item was priceless.
After glancing at the black crystal, Qin Chen reached out to take it. "So heavy!" The fist-sized black crystal was a thousand times heavier than Qin Chen had imagined. With his strength, capable of lifting a mountain peak with one hand, picking it up was not easy. He estimated that this crystal was even heavier than the previous stone platform. Its density had already exceeded Qin Chen's comprehension. Moreover, wisps of black rule energy flowed within Qin Chen's palm, and the terrifying demonic qi actually permeated through his physical defenses and surged into his mind in an instant.
Qin Chen's eyes displayed a dreamy expression, and his soul jolted, awakening him instantly. He hurriedly put down the black crystal and withdrew his palm. Zizi... The area where Qin Chen's right hand gripped the black crystal was corroded with tiny wounds, which were slowly healing under the treatment of the Nine Star Divine Emperor's Technique. "What terrifying corrosiveness! If I hadn't practiced the techniques of the Demon Tribe and had some understanding of their rules, just the demonic qi emitted from this black crystal could have corroded my palm." Qin Chen inhaled sharply.
His defenses were exceptionally strong; let alone a wisp of demonic qi, even if a Martial God-level expert activated an imperial weapon, it might not leave a mark on him. But just a touch of this black crystal almost caused him injury. This corrosiveness far exceeded anything Qin Chen had ever seen. "Both the black crystal and the refining furnace are intact and can still be used. Moreover, this demonic liquid is extremely pure; it might help Makara and the others restore their strength sooner." Qin Chen thought to himself. As his strength increased, the need for allies grew; the world was vast with many unknown dangers, and naturally, Qin Chen hoped the people around him would be stronger.
Boom! Qin Chen reached out his large hand, grasping the refining furnace, and instantly, a blinding light erupted from the entire furnace, but it couldn’t stop Qin Chen's grasp. He collected it piece by piece into the Qiankun Creation Jade Plate. Boom! With a loud bang, the stone chamber was empty, and the refining furnace was instantly stored in the Qiankun Creation Jade Plate. At the same time, he instructed Lao Yuan and the others, "Lao Yuan, study this demonic liquid well."
"Haha, Qin Chen, leave it to us." Lao Yuan replied excitedly. When the refining furnace entered the Qiankun Creation Jade Plate and he caught a whiff of the emitted black demonic qi, Lao Yuan felt the power within his body stirring as if it had received immense nourishment. This was undoubtedly a powerful treasure extremely useful to the Demon Tribe. Originally, Lao Yuan wasn't very confident in restoring his strength because it required far too much energy, and in Tianwu Continent, he could not continuously replenish his power and could only recover some by devouring experts of the Demon Tribe.
