King's Awakening

Chapter 660: Chapter 660: Another King of the Eaters?

Should I give it a try?

White Mitchell frowned, although he had to admit that Lucy’s analysis did make some sense.

But what restrained him was this: if he were to truly activate this Devouring Heavenly Furnace, he had no idea what kind of effects it would produce.

To try rashly would undoubtedly involve a certain level of danger.

However, if he didn’t try, he would never know what the Devouring Heavenly Furnace was capable of.

White Mitchell was never a man who hesitated out of caution.

Quickly, he dismissed all apprehensions from his mind and unhesitantly took out a low-grade Blood Stone, throwing it into the Devouring Heavenly Furnace.

Instantly, a powerful suction force erupted from the Devouring Heavenly Furnace, into which the low-grade Blood Stone was engulfed in a blink.

However, there came a snag.

After the Devouring Heavenly Furnace took in the low-grade Blood Stone, there wasn’t any visible reaction. It returned to its previous calm state as if nothing had happened at all.

Uh…this…

White Mitchell was at a loss for words.

A low-grade Blood Stone, even if thrown into the water, could at least make a splash.

But upon throwing it into the Devouring Heavenly Furnace, there wasn’t even a hint of sound.

Could it be, this knock-off was also a Bottomless Pit or a King of the Eaters?

Was it trying to bleed him dry?

He already couldn’t feed the existing two Kings of the Eaters, adding another one would mean that not even mountains of gold and silver would suffice.

This was really exasperating.

At this moment, seeing the situation, Lucy, who had been standing by, couldn’t help but say, “It appears that the power of this Devouring Heavenly Furnace is much greater than we anticipated.

Perhaps a low-grade Blood Stone isn’t enough.”

Let’s try using a high-grade Blood Stone!”

A high-grade Blood Stone?

White Mitchell was suddenly thrown into a dilemma. Where was he supposed to find a high-grade Blood Stone?

To him, a pauper, a high-grade Blood Stone was a hundred times more precious than gold.

Even if he had one, he would probably hesitate to use it to test this Devouring Heavenly Furnace.

After all, no one could say for certain whether a high-grade Blood Stone could even power the Devouring Heavenly Furnace or not.

“Don’t worry, I have one!”

Lucy grinned, revealing two adorable little fangs. Without a moment’s hesitation, she took out a stone, as transparent as a blood jade, from her Qiankun Bag and tossed it into the Devouring Heavenly Furnace.

This… hiss…

Watching Lucy’s decisive actions, White Mitchell couldn’t help but feel a tinge of heartache.

You should have given me that high-grade Blood Stone instead.

Nevertheless, White Mitchell kept these words to himself, because something was happening to the Devouring Heavenly Furnace! @@novelbin@@

In the blink of an eye, the Devouring Heavenly Furnace sucked in the high-grade Blood Stone just like before. Subsequently, golden inscriptions appeared on the body of the furnace, emitting a faint glow.

The initially dim cave was instantly illuminated.

This…

Looking at the intricate inscriptions on the Devouring Heavenly Furnace, White Mitchell found himself unable to react for a moment.

These inscriptions were incredibly obscure and appeared to belong to a different era. They were mysterious and imbued with a sense of time, making one feel a profound connection with just one glance.

For a moment, White Mitchell felt as if he were witnessing the changes wrought by time.

Rumble…

Following that, the Devouring Heavenly Furnace started to tremble.

However, it quickly fell silent and returned to White Mitchell’s hand.

White Mitchell held the still warm Devouring Heavenly Furnace, lost in thought, and then his gaze locked onto the small red bead within, that was about the size of a dragon’s eye.

What is this…?
