Lord of Enigma

Extra chapter by "ShadowDuke" from Ko-Fi!

"Whoosh"

The gray mist re-condenses into Tang Qi's figure, landing lightly on the ground.

Along with him, half of the man's body. Oh no, after his head exploded, it couldn't even be regarded as half a body, leaving only a sturdy torso, together with a white mask.

After the man's death was confirmed, those terrible and disgusting intestines that had turned into vines instantly lost their power source. They became weak and limb, gradually darkening and turning into powder, which piled up like a hill in the corridor. The tortured police officers, doctors, and nurses all woke up from the paralysis.

After relaxing, Stana fell back to bed.

Tang Qi glanced around a few times and didn't find anyone who needed special treatment, so he bent down and planned to pick up the white mask. At the first sight of the man, Tang Qi found a faint light on the mask. It was a mystical object.

However, just as he bent down, an inconspicuous voice suddenly entered his ears.

"Thump, thump~"

The sound of the heartbeat was not strong, but rather a bit stuffy.

If you were a little careless, you might think it was your own heartbeat.

However, Tang Qi's mind instantly recalled the words that the mask roared before, "I need you to get it from that damn amber merchant…"

"Thump, thump, thump"

This time, Tang Qi's heart was really beating violently, and a frantic sense of crisis came suddenly.

Amber Merchant…Heartbeat…Evil God…

When these words jumped out one by one, a familiar scene suddenly appeared in Tang Qi's mind.

Inside the villa of Amber Merchant. After dealing with the monster that the merchant turned into, a heart suddenly appeared in his body, and within the heart was…

"Evil God Seed!"

"Huh"

Tang Qi turned his head sharply and looked at the man's remaining torso.

There was a resentful soul floating slowly.

It was the masked man, but he wasn't wearing a mask in his soul state. Instead, he was in his normal human form. He looked like a fierce and strong white middle-aged man. He was confused at first and wanted to leave his body and dissipate.

However, just as he was about to leave his body, a terrifying suction force was about to drag him back into his torso. This change made the man's face subconsciously appear happy, seemingly feeling that he had a chance to resurrect.

Until this moment, a pair of palms that frightened him immensely reached over.

Both hands were covered with light golden flames.

But the difference was that one hand directly held his soul, while the other hand carried a sound of wind and inserted straight into his heart, as if pinching his heart that had already stopped beating, and then two different actions appeared.

His soul was burnt out by the golden flame, but he didn't feel much pain. Instead, he felt a sense of relief.

But within his chest, a terrifying wailing sound came suddenly, as if it were not his heart, but some kind of evil monster that could pollute everything. It also "enjoyed" the burning of the golden flames.

The similarity between them was that both had no resistance to the golden flames.

Soon, everything was over.

The man's resentful soul dissipated into nothingness, and the malicious tide that was about to erupt in his chest was also eliminated.

But at this moment, Tang Qi felt very strange.

At this moment, his body seemed to be suddenly thrown into the fire, an unbearable burning sensation suddenly began to rise in his body. At first, blood began to circulate around his body, skin, muscles, internal organs…and even bone marrow.

"Hiss ~"

Tang Qi issued a painful low grunt. He felt that every breath exhaled was like hot gas that was gushing out from the depths of a volcano. It was extremely hot.

As he struggled to stand up, he quickly looked at himself.

Gazing fixedly, that special interface was slowly taking shape.

One of the pieces of information emerged first.

"Golden Furnace Meditation Method…progress…"

Tang Qi could do nothing but watch as the originally only 9% progress entered the boundary of the 10% limit.

In an instant, Tang Qi realized the source of the change.

In almost the blink of an eye. Tang Qi grabbed the white mask. He didn't even have time to say goodbye to Stana, and his whole person "hushed" into smoke and left quickly.

The gray mist escaped from the hospital area, and Tang Qi didn't have the time to carefully conceal it.

He turned into a gray arrow and blended into the dark night. Then he blazed towards the thorns campus.

Ten seconds later, his figure appeared in an alley outside the campus.

At this time, Tang Qi looked as if he had just been taken out of a steamer. Sweat was dripping all over his body, and faint golden flames were constantly overflowing from all over his body. He had to lower his head because he was unable to withdraw the golden light that was emitting from his eyes.

The meditation method went berserk.

If it weren't for the fact that Tang Qi was trying his best to suppress it, he would've been as dazzling as a human-shaped sun at this time of night.

As soon as he entered the campus, Tang Qi took the risk of being exposed and burst out at the fastest speed. He was afraid that he really couldn't control himself if he didn't return to the brick building.

A few seconds later, with a loud "bang", Tang Qi closed the door of his house, and then sat down directly on the ground and began medicating without hesitation.

Boom!

And a world completely different from the past appeared in front of him.

The golden sun that should have appeared with a little bit of outline, was not suspended directly above the endless void.

No, it was not just endless nothingness.

The golden sun seemed to hang over the infinite universe. Tang Qi felt a force that only existed in the underworld dragging him and penetrating through the heavy dark space. Countess strange scenes flashed in front of him, and a torrent of information was burned into nothingness by the golden flames before it invaded his mind.

In the end, Tang Qi saw an enormous golden sun in the Infinitely large and great shore.

Time seemed to stagnate at this moment.

Murmurs suddenly sounded in his mind.

"The sun…is a golden furnace…the only fuel is…the soul."

"Boom ~"

Tang Qi suddenly regained his consciousness, and he seemed to have understood something.

He was receiving a blessing from the Lord of the Forge.

All experts who had practiced the Golden Furnace Meditation Method and entered a certain realm would be bestowed a blessing from him.

But he was totally different from other practitioners.

A Meditation Method is just that, but the orthodox inheritance of the Lord of the Forge, in addition to the Meditation Method, there are other skills that can go along with it. The blessing of the Lord of the Forge allows the other skills to advance together.

And even get higher-level skills.

But Tang Qi had no inheritance other than the Meditation Method.

Therefore, he was now facing a difficult multiple-choice question.
