Martial World
Chapter 500 – Receiving the Furnace
…

…
The dog, or rather a pug, assumed an air of self-importance as it chanted, its two front doggy paws waving in the air with a lewd smile plastered over its angry face. This really challenged the limit of Lin Ming’s visual comprehension.
No matter how he looked at it, this fellow was more like an old tricky scoundrel.
But although this old dog seemed as if it wasn’t too dependable, it seemed to know what it was talking about. The Cosmic Melting Furnace began to release a vibrant red light, and the furnace body also slightly vibrated, emitting a great deal of energy that surged outwards.
However, as the red light shined, the pug wasn’t able to maintain its obscene expression. Its soul form seemed to twist around, as if its soul force was weakened. As the pug had said before, opening the Cosmic Melting Furnace with just this small part of his consciousness released was pushing the envelope.
The furnace began to emit a bright white light, and it also began to increasingly vibrate. It seemed as if it were ready to fly away from the platform at any moment.
Lin Ming’s eyes shined. This pug wasn’t just opening the Cosmic Melting Furnace, but rather taking the entire thing!
“You… can you really take the entire Cosmic Melting Furnace?”
“What nonsense!” Although the pug looked as if it were barely holding on, it still made an effort to glare at Lin Ming with a great deal of disdain, trying to ridicule him. “Do… do you even… know who this Saint is?”
Looking at this pug that had to clench its teeth and force out words with extreme difficulty, Lin Ming felt a drop of sweat drop down his forehead. This fellow, was he really one of those old monsters that lived for tens of thousands of years?
Lin Ming didn’t bother thinking about this much more. His eyes were wide as he stared at the Cosmic Melting Furnace that continually vibrated, the energy becoming increasingly dense. This pug clearly had some association with the Demon Emperor, and it was possible that it had even been the Demon Emperor’s contract beast. If this were the case, the dog’s strength should also be at an extremely high level. Taking the Cosmic Melting Furnace shouldn’t be anything too strange.
However, Lin Ming didn’t know just what the pug was planning on doing with the Cosmic Melting Furnace. It only had a soul body, so what use was a pill furnace to it? Unless, it was planning on fusing itself into the treasure and becoming a treasure spirit.
Was this pug wanting to become a treasure spirit?
If there was a tangible flesh and blood body, then who would want to become a treasure spirit? The only kind that would willingly do so were those like the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm’s Palace Spirit, who was originally from the Spirit race and not a human. The Palace Spirit had preferred to take long and peaceful rests, for tens of thousands of years at a time.
But, this pug was obviously not the same.
Lin Ming’s mind raced. His fingers unconsciously traced his spatial ring.
At this point, a surprising scene took place. The Cosmic Melting Furnace began to wildly spin on the platform. And as it spun around, it began to shrink!
The large 30 foot high pill furnace was instantly reduced to less than 10 feet!
At the same time, the Cosmic Melting Furnace’s lid shook tremendously, as if it were about to fly off.
As the pug saw this, its eyes flashed with a greedy light, “Up!”
The pug’s paws moved as it spat out words.
Peng!
The lid shot up into the air, and the blue-colored pill and red mass of liquid also flew out!
That blue-colored pill was the pill that had been refined with a Nirvana Dragon Root!
As for that red mass of liquid, Lin Ming had noticed that it was blood that emitted an ancient demonic energy!
The pug waved its paw and pressured the blue pill back into the pill furnace. Although this blue pill was precious, the pug only had its soul body, so it didn’t have any use for it.
Therefore, there was only that red mass of blood left over in the air!
As the pug saw this mass of blood, a smile blossomed on its face as it cackled, “Hahaha, this ancient Giant Demon blood is this Saint’s!”
Lin Ming was shocked, ancient Giant Demon blood?
He suddenly remembered that the white sphere of light within the Magic Cube would often absorb the blood essence of masters, sometimes rather desperately. Perhaps there was some sort of secret ability that allowed a soul body to nourish itself with blood essence?
This was bad!
If this pug managed to absorb the ancient Giant Demon blood, would he still be able to deal with it?
Lin Ming didn’t know how much strength the pug would restore once it absorbed this blood, but in this life or death situation, he couldn’t allow something to happen that might spiral out of his control.
Without delay, Lin Ming instantly revolved his Samsara martial intent. He hadn’t planned on fighting the pug and hurting each other. If things were in his control, then he
