Chapter 792 - 335: Master of Madness’s Arm—We’re About to Strike It Rich
The level of the Molten Giant Dragon reached as high as Level 23, and half a year ago, it could roam the entire Griffin Empire with ease.
A single Dragon Breath could destroy half of the human cities.
An absolutely top-tier power, one that ordinary people were not even qualified to glimpse.
But now, this ferocious creature can only become a tool for weapon forging in Weilu City.
This feeling gave Lear a strong sense of accomplishment.
Weilu City had ultimately reached a height unattainable by mere mortals.
He wondered what expression those Pioneer Lords of the same era would have upon knowing the development of Weilu City now?
It would certainly be a sight to behold.
But unfortunately, most of them would never see this day.
Soon, Bulin, the leader of the Fray people, found a way to use the Molten Giant Dragon properly.
He mixed Magic Mercury with Refined Gold, Obsidian, and Moonlight Stone to forge a huge furnace.
It could endure the scorching Dragon Breath of the Molten Giant Dragon for long periods.
Then a peculiar scene was observed; the Molten Giant Dragon, with its round and bulging belly, lazy like an angry blowfish, lay sprawled on the ground with its ferocious maw slightly open.
Swoosh~
With its breath, the terrifyingly hot Dragon Breath spewed out, directly pouring into the furnace.
The entire furnace instantly glowed with a scorching light, like a new sun rising on the Earth’s surface.
This unique furnace could convert the Dragon Breath into even heat.
Throw ordinary steel in, and like snow into a hot furnace, a piece of ore could turn into molten iron in just a few seconds.
It was truly remarkable.
And this was merely the Molten Giant Dragon’s lowest output power; if at full force, it could even melt the furnace itself.
After testing for two hours and seeing the Molten Giant Dragon maintain a stable output, everyone at the Blacksmith Shop was overjoyed.
Bulin was so excited that he immediately ordered the original production line to be dismantled to start rebuilding around the Molten Giant Dragon!
The originally tedious melting and refining process could now skip most steps with the Molten Giant Dragon!
It could easily melt ore and reheat semi-finished products, greatly improving efficiency.
After making statistics, Bulin reported to Lear that the production capacity which originally required thousands at the Blacksmith Shop now only needed half the manpower.
In other words, the production efficiency had doubled!
And most importantly, the Dragon Breath of the Molten Giant Dragon could be sustained with just twenty thousand pigs fed each month.
To other forces, this might be a pressure, but to Weilu City, with its mega-scale pig farms housing millions of pigs, it was nothing.
With this, the monthly production of Rock Heavy Armor at the Blacksmith Shop could increase to 40,000 sets!
And this was a conservative estimate.
At this production rate, ore consumption would become astonishing, and the inventory would soon be depleted.
Lear felt a few hints of blissful trouble upon hearing the news.
Compelled to keep dispatching troops to search for ore veins and speed up the mining of existing resources.
Fortunately, a recent expansion into the swamps uncovered five ordinary iron mines, which could be quickly extracted.
Steadying the inventory a bit.
After wrapping things up here, Lear summoned the three Flesh Butchers to inquire about the matters of the Undead Plane.
Especially the chaos among the undead gods.
Unexpectedly, this inquiry brought an unexpected joy; the Flesh Butcher provided intelligence that the Dragon of Death didn’t know.
"Sovereign, I have discovered that the chaos among the undead gods is because the Main God of the Undead Plane—the God of Undead suddenly fell into slumber for some reason."
"And the undead gods, unwilling to miss the opportunity, took the chance during its slumber to band together and kill it."
"The God of Undead’s Divine Kingdom collapsed, its Authority shattered, Divine Format broken... it has already fallen."
"And each undead deity wants to become the new ruler of the Undead Plane. Therefore, to seize the legacy, this divine war broke out..."
"But so far, no one has yet mastered the Authority of the Undead."
Lear’s gaze slightly narrowed.
The God of Undead, an illustrious immortal legend, was the oldest divine spirit in the Undead Plane and also its strongest.
It played the role of the ultimate villain in countless mythical tales.
It stood firm through several god wars.
Unexpectedly, at the commencement of this great upheaval, such a being was the first to fall.
Moreover, not a whisper of it reached the outside world, almost as if it happened too cleverly.
"Radina, what plans do you have moving forward?"
"Sovereign... the Authority of the God of Undead was shattered in the great war."
"I might still be able to seize a part of it!"
This headless divine life expressed a strong desire in its hollow voice.
Though it was formed from the essence of a divine spirit, after breaking through to the Extraordinary, that essence had been exhausted.
Rising from Level 20 to Level 23 was entirely due to its rampage in the Undead Plane, repeatedly seizing opportunities.
To progress to Level 24 as a Demigod or even Level 25 as a divine spirit... it had to take an extraordinary path.
Grasping authority was the most straightforward path... but its difficulty was astonishingly high.
Seizing a morsel of power from the hands of the undead gods was no simple feat.
Before Lear could respond, the Intelligence System suddenly flashed a notification.
[Flesh Butcher - Radina has reported to you the hidden developments in the Undead Plane. You have gained new intelligence—The God of Undead was mortally wounded by a joint attack from the Master of Dark Crows and Divine Abominations, then assaulted by the allied forces of the Undead Plane’s gods, leading to its ultimate fall.]
