Chapter 1053: Flame Space of The Craftsman Star

In the twinkling of an eye, the black-robed figure of Luo Feng transformed into a rush of black current and condensed into a stone. Thereafter, he fell directly toward the bottom.

As the stone fell, it bumped its way down into the deepest depths of the mountain.

Pa!

The stone rammed into the red-hot stone wall and finally came to a halt. Then the stone transformed back into the black-robed form of Luo Feng.

"I've arrived," he said, taking in the view before him. He could not help exclaiming, "So beautiful!"

This was the bedrock of the mountain. He could see a strange, black matter about six miles ahead. It hung suspended in the air, standing than ten feet tall and in the shape of a "gourd-class" object. As this black gourd hovered in midair, its mouth facing upwards, it spurted endless flames that spread outward, nearly filling up the entire mountain. Disciples of Craftsman Master who were undying beings and universe knights created weapons forged by the heat of these endless flames.

As the black gourd hovered in the air, there were invisible connections all over the place—like lengths of chain that could not be seen by the naked eye—connecting the mountain with virtual space. Although these chains were invisible, there were traces of flames strung onto them. They came from the surrounding space and moved inward, directly into the gourd's mouth.

"There are a total of 36 virtual chains," said Luo Feng. He frowned inwardly. "This black gourd seems to merge with the limitless space here. And through this limitless space, it absorbs and stores energy from the flame continually. Is that how it maintains its ability to produce eternal flames?"

Luo Feng was Master of Star Tower. Star Tower absorbed energy from the vast universe to continue revolving, and so, looking at this black gourd... based on what he knew, Luo Feng was able to make a similar judgment quickly.

"Unquestionably, the flames near to the gourd's mouth will require the power of a universe overlord to ward off," he said. "These endless flames spread out almost 100 miles away... Every individual flame is strong enough to annihilate an eternal star. With such energy is being released continuously, there must be a source where it comes from."

Luo Feng could sense that the energy of these endless flames was being continuously transmitted into the black gourd through the 36 virtual chains.

Space transmission? wondered Luo Feng. What method is Craftsman Master using to maintain such an energy-consuming process? As a master craftsman of true treasures, he wouldn't be so foolish as to use up his own energy so relentlessly. There must be a source! Like Star Tower. To maintain such strong energy...

Luo Feng's eyes lit up as the realization dawned upon him. "Of course! The Craftsman Star! Only the Craftsman Star can do that! Craftsman Star is the greatest true treasure that Craftsman Master ever created. With its massive size, it can absorb the limitless energy in the atmosphere of the entire virtual space. Could it be that the star absorbs and internalizes the surrounding energy, then transmits the energy to the gourd? This gourd... It could be a part of the Craftsman Star."

After a few seconds of observation, Luo Feng had deduced the truth. Craftsman Master had made the Craftsman Star for two reasons. One was to build a protective home for himself. The other was to construct a primary tool for creating true treasures. The entire Craftsman Star would be used to absorb limitless energy and continuously churn out flames, which were drawn to the black gourd for the forging process.

"Killing two birds with one stone," said Luo Feng. "Just by modifying the massive Craftsman Star, he was able to achieve this effect. In fact, with Craftsman Master's ability, it would be a piece of cake." He stared at the black gourd. "I can sense that the black metal board is inside that black gourd. What should I do?"
