Incredible.

Why did it have two wheels before going in, but three after coming out?!

From the original pedal motorcycle, it transformed into a tricycle?!

The carrying capacity, significantly increased!

But no, is this evolution tree of yours normal?

Yet, oddly enough, the little calf-horse seemed not to be discomforted by it at all, as if it was born this way, skillfully manipulating the added wheel, twisting and turning in front of Ji Jue, and excitedly making beeping sounds.

Fluid Alchemy is a skill that breaks the shackles of matter and shape, making the external form closer to the essence.

It ignores the expansion of physical properties, favoring the inner quality, which has caused a defect of excessive quality requirements on the materials themselves, but at the same time, the method of adjusting the external based on the internal essence of the results also guarantees an absolutely high quality rate. And its potential in the Purification process is exploited to a terrifying degree.

The current transformation of the little calf-horse was merely the change it naturally exhibited after Dragon Blood, having undergone Purification, completely digested the materials fed by Ji Jue.

"This is Fluid Alchemy."

The Melting Furnace emitted a weary sigh, "If only some legacy could be left behind, my master might find some solace."

"...Thank you."

Feeling the wonderful comprehension that had not yet completely dissipated, Ji Jue came back to his senses and couldn't help but sigh lightly, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Never did I expect that there would still be a chance to reignite before destruction."

That dim Flame Light was rising, trembling, on the verge of extinguishing, "I am content with no further wishes, only... my master's actions became increasingly extreme in his later years, deviating from the Embers Path, resulting in this end.

As a creation, it's truly unbearably sad to witness the workshop's decline."

It hesitated but ultimately said nothing more, just self-deprecatingly smiled, "If there is a chance... please bestow your mercy upon us once more."

And just like that, the Flame Light silently extinguished.

Gone forever.

Only the hallucination-like sighs lingered in the wind.

Goodbye to the many years of old times.

Right before Ji Jue's eyes, the Melting Furnace trembled slightly and then collapsed in the breeze, turning into Dust as tiny sparks emerged, ascending and converging.

Falling into Ji Jue's hands.

But having witnessed the Melting Furnace's final sacrifice, Ji Jue's current mood didn't contain the earlier joy and excitement.

Even, there was no time to mourn.

Ignoring the hunger and urgency emanating from his soul, Ji Jue had no time to absorb and could only carefully gather them with spiritual essence to ensure they would not disperse.

Then he leapt up and, with great agility, jumped onto the vehicle, making sure little An was secured, and started to sprint outwards!

Because, if he didn't run now, it would be too late!

Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack!

The intense friction sounds erupted continuously from the void, similar to the rapidly cracking hull of a submarine in the deep sea.

The countdown of the Ghost Work Ball was nearing its end, and the dim light that had supported the abandoned workshop was rapidly vanishing...

"11——10——9——8——"

With the countdown from the Ghost Work Ball, the little calf-horse raced over the rough steps, instantly accelerating to over two hundred yards, even more exaggerated than before.

Directly spiraling down inside the bell tower!

In just a few moments, it had landed on the ground, leaving behind three lines of scorched tire marks.

The Ghost Work Ball reformed from Ji Jue's hands, a streak of light flew out, landing on the portal they had entered through, instantly swallowing them up, then closing.

And in that instant, the entire bell tower erupted with an unprecedented boom.

Thunder shook!

A flash of light descended from the sky, instantly piercing into the bell tower. The cleansing command from the defense sequence brought punishment fiercer than both fire and lightning.

The plaza tumultuous, from atop the bell tower, cracks spread out, countless bricks and stones flew violently.

And under the siege of the Returning Knights, the giant that had already been riddled with countless holes yet still fought relentlessly suddenly paused and half-kneeled on the ground.

Powerless.

The sudden change made everyone pause for a moment, then they became even more vigilant, eyeing their surroundings for any sign of anomaly, ready to counter any sneak attack.

And it was this glance that allowed Lou Feng to catch sight of the figure at the distant street corner, the one that turned his cheeks instantly warm with fury.

"——Ji Jue!!!"

Not far from the square, that damned guy was already here, sneaking around unnoticed!

And now, upon being discovered, he even had the audacity to think about turning tail and running?!

"Son of a..."

On the back of the small ox-horse, Ji Jue, who was about to make a run for it, paused in his motions. He turned his head laboriously and squeezed out an awkward smile, "Ah, isn't that Brother Lou? What a coincidence."

All the Returning Knights uniformly raised their long spears, aiming them from a distance at Ji Jue's face.

"It seems Mr. Ji has a very keen sense of smell," Lou Feng said coldly. "Rushing so close recklessly, you wouldn't be thinking of muddying the waters, would you?"

"That's impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Ji Jue shook his head violently, vehemently objecting.

How could I possibly want to muddy the waters, I've already freaking finished meddling! All thanks to you drawing all the hatred, Brother Lou!

Filled with joy and gratitude, at that moment, he struggled to contain himself from laughing out loud. As he looked at Lou Feng, the awkwardness he once felt was completely gone.

The more he looked, the more he liked, the more satisfied he became.

Just like looking at a dear son.

It gave off a kind of benignity that made Lou Feng's flesh crawl.

He stepped back, "Seize him——"

"Hold on, Brother Lou!"

Ji Jue raised his hand, his eyes wide as he shouted, "As the saying goes, 'Heavenly treasures and divine artifacts belong to those with virtue.' With my minuscule glimmer, how dare I compete for brilliance with Brother Lou?

"I was blind to your kindness before, how could I possibly make the same mistake again?"

"Brother Ji Jue..."

A confused Xiao An reached out, tugging at his clothing, wanting to tell him you're stepping on my foot, but Ji Jue waved his hand and cut him off, "Don't speak!"

"We're leaving!"

Ji Jue managed to squeeze out the words through clenched teeth, as if restraining a torrent of emotion and wails, grinding his teeth, "This workshop, we'll leave it to Brother Lou!"

With that, he kicked the small ox-horse.

The small ox-horse backed up a bit, then backed up a bit more, and then retreated quickly a good distance before suddenly turning and dashing towards the distance.

And just like that, they disappeared without a trace.

"He ran away?"

Even Slan could hardly believe it, lifting his head to look at the sky where a shooting star rose, quickly surveying over half the town to confirm Ji Jue and his party had already run far away.

They were all prepared to fight another bitter battle.

But Ji Jue didn't even dare to test the waters, let alone initiate contact?

"Hmph!"

Lou Feng let out a cold snort. Actually, several times, he wanted to order the Returning Knights to seize Ji Jue immediately. But considering everyone had just been through a fierce fight, and not knowing what other contingencies Master Ye might have left on him, he ultimately chose a more cautious approach.

Since Ji Jue was wise enough to leave, he had no intention of pursuing relentlessly.

But suddenly, as he watched the direction in which Ji Jue and the others fled, his heart skipped a beat: Wait, how did he know there was a work...

Lou Feng suddenly turned, looking toward the gaping bell tower.

His eyes widened.

No longer proceeding step by step, cautiously, he rushed in.

Then, he saw... the familiar tire tracks amidst the ashes, as if imprinted on his heart, sending a chill through his being.

And when he climbed the stairs, panting, and finally saw that half of a broken door and the chaotic, ash-filled ruins of the workshop, he couldn't help it, everything went black before his eyes.

Resounding through the skies of the Crack Realm was an indescribable scream of rage!

Such was the pain that pierced through the heart.

"——Ji Jue!!!!"
