The spaceship was sailing in the void, and the stars outside the window gradually became sparse.

Lin Yu stroked the chip with his fingertips, and the temperature of the metal surface seemed to rise as the distance shortened, like a piece of iron about to be thrown into a furnace.

"Beep!" The backup signal left by Silver Wolf on the spacecraft suddenly lit up red, and a fragmented audio overflowed from the speaker, like the sound of a blunt object scraping metal, mixed with vague roars.

Kafka quickly accessed the analysis system, and blood-red text popped up on the screen.

"Warning: Forge energy field detected..."

"Casting furnace?" Lin Yu looked at Ren, whose brows were tightly furrowed.

Ren's Adam's apple rolled, and his voice became deeper than usual.

"Three years ago, I saw the same energy residue in the Tianxing system."

"The entire colony's inhabitants were melted down into the core components of the antimatter engine. Not even a bone was left."

"The screaming in that audio clip is from the encrypted communication band of the Interstellar Peace Company's Talent Incentive Department. Their personnel disappeared five years ago."

The spacecraft suddenly shook violently, and the starlight outside the porthole began to distort.

Kafka pulled up the joystick suddenly, and the needle on the dashboard spun wildly.

"We've entered the energy field!"

Lin Yu quickly came to the porthole and his heart suddenly stopped beating.

In the void ahead, tens of thousands of metal debris were floating, ranging from warship engines to soldiers' helmets, all melted into irregular spheres by some force. The surface of each sphere was embedded with solidified blood stains, like ripe fruits hanging on invisible vines.

"Is this the work of the King of Casting?"

"He used the entire galaxy's creations as casting material."

The metal spheres were slowly wriggling, and the blood stains on their surfaces oozed out dark red threads, weaving into the outline of a huge furnace in the air.

In the center of the furnace, a blurry figure sat on a throne made of warship wreckage, surrounded by flowing magma, and every breath caused ripples in the surrounding void.

"That should be the Casting King."

"Legend has it that he was once a craftsman from a higher-dimensional civilization. Obsessed with the 'perfect creation', he melted his entire home planet into a sword. Nanook admired his madness and granted him the power of 'destruction', allowing him to use the entire universe as a forge."

"Is he tempering the fragments of the Star Track Hub?" Lin Yu pointed to the bottom of the furnace, where the remains of the Star Track Hub could be vaguely seen tumbling in the magma. "Those metal spheres are providing energy."

Before he could finish his words, a column of magma suddenly spewed out from the furnace, shooting accurately towards the spaceship.

Lin Yu instantly deployed a protective barrier. The moment the pale golden light wall collided with the magma, the entire spacecraft was shaken and tilted. Wisps of green smoke emerged from the surface of the barrier, like burning paper.

"He can lock onto us!" Kafka maneuvered the spaceship past another column of lava, leaving a charred gap in the tail fin.

Ren suddenly jumped out of the spaceship and swung his sword at the nearest metal sphere. The moment the sword cut into the sphere, countless shrill wails came out from the cracks. Those were the screams of the sealed souls.

The sphere burst out with a blinding red light, which actually bounced back along the blade, leaving charred lines on his arm.

"Don't touch those spheres!" Lin Yu shouted, and the Fate of Abundance turned into a light belt that wrapped around Blade's arm. "It's full of assimilated energy, and it will backfire along the weapon!"

The Casting King in the center of the furnace slowly raised his head. The outline of his face, which was obscured by the lava, could not be seen clearly. Only two points of scarlet light could be seen.

He raised his right hand, and the metal spheres in the void suddenly turned together, with blood stains oozing out of their surfaces and spikes, like countless arrows aiming at the spaceship.

Kafka burst out with all her strength, but could only slow down the speed of those spikes for a moment.

"Lin Yu, use the star core!"

Lin Yu took out the white star core and injected the energy of destiny into it at the same time.

The light ball burst out with a dazzling white light. The metal spheres vibrated violently in the white light, and the blood stains on the surface began to peel off.

The Cast King in the furnace let out a dull roar, and columns of magma poured down like a rainstorm.

"It's now!"

At the same time, Lin Yu urged the Void Fate to freeze the time around him.

The stellar core crashed into the debris of the orbital hub.

At the moment of contact, the furnace suddenly stopped.

The magma around the Cast King's throne solidified into a sculpture, the metal sphere hung in mid-air, and even the scorch marks on the blade arm stopped spreading.

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he discovered that his body was also starting to stiffen.

Its own void energy is being counterattacked by some force.

"This is what makes him so terrifying. No energy can escape his furnace."

In the center of the furnace, the figure of the Casting King suddenly became clear for a moment.

It was not a human form at all, but a human shape formed by countless swords fused together.

The white star cores exploded at the same time, and countless red lights shot towards Lin Yu.

The moment he was hit by the red light, he felt his bones getting hot, as if they were about to melt into molten iron.

In a trance, he saw the blade pierce the King of Casting's shoulder.

"Two star cores..." Lin Yu bit his tongue, and the severe pain made him sober up a little.

He seized the moment when the light ball resonated with the star core in his body, compressed all the energy of destiny into a point, and injected it into the crystal of the King of Casting along the vines.

The furnace began to expand violently, and the magma turned into sparks all over the sky.

The body of the Casting King shattered into pieces in the light, and those molten metal spheres suddenly burst out with soft white light, as if countless souls were liberated.

When Blade dragged Lin Yu out of the explosion range, Kafka had already collapsed in the cockpit of the spacecraft.

Lin Yu looked at the gradually dissipating furnace and suddenly realized that the horror of the King of Casting was not in his strength, but in the fact that he turned destruction into an "art"

He used the wreckage of countless civilizations to create an aesthetic of death that belonged only to him.

"it's over?"

"No, that's not its true form at all. The King of Casting is not dead." Blade shook his head.

"Not dead?" Lin Yu was shocked.

It was very clear when he killed Foehn.

Ren seemed to see the doubt in Lin Yu's heart, so he began to explain.

"Foehn is different from other Extinction Lords."

"For example, Huanlong, she is Suiyang, a spiritual being. Individuals can enhance their abilities through fusion, up to the scale of a planetary disaster."

"Not to mention that Huanlong is also the Destroyer. She's not easy to kill."

"Besides, there's Xingxiao, whom you captured. Her birth was manipulated by Nanook."

"Nanook himself came and kindled a world of harmony, raising the great king from the ashes of the Infinite Lord."

"That's exactly why her strength is not much worse than Foehn's."

"It's just that...her situation is different from what was reported by the Immortal Boat."

"Seeing Foehn being killed, he begged for mercy from you, exterminating the Great Lord. How ironic."

"But you've already erased her original divine memory, so there's no need to worry about her regrouping. After all, she's already your loyal subordinate."

"There was another one, when you just arrived at the Immortal Boat."

"A great lord of extinction has come to you, calling himself 'Xiu', but his true name is Guangshi, codenamed 'The Sun-Swallowing Beast'."

"It led you to seek out Oboros, gave you a pair of dragon fangs, and then you were given the fate of gluttony."

"But its identity is not simple. It is a descendant of the ancient beast clan."

"I'm sure you already know what an ancient beast is. After all, Oboros is the ancient beast, and you've already seen it."

"Finally, there's the Casting King. Although it ascended mechanically, free from the fragility of flesh and blood, its massive mechanical form is a burden. It's not like the Master of Knowledge."

"But the Forge King's methods are not as simple as blowing flame winds like Foehn."

"Even Zhu Ming's Flame Wheel Casting Palace might not be as terrifying as the small pool of magma beneath the Casting King."

Lin Yu was still a little surprised when he listened to Ren's explanation of all the Extinction Lords he had met so far.

Apart from Huanlong, he really didn't know the identities and specific strengths of the others.

But that turtle-like creature was actually an ancient beast?

Even though it carries the burden of destruction, is there still the blood of the ancient beast clan remaining in its heart?

That's why it's connected to 'greed'.

Really interesting..

But now that King Zhu is still alive, subsequent actions may be even more difficult.
