Chapter 650: Chapter 349 Duo Ri Ridge This is a boundless expanse of Gobi Desert, strewn with sand and rocks, making it difficult to find prey. Fortunately, a substantial portion of tiger meat from the last kill of the Sky-tearing Saber-toothed Tiger still remains. Gu Sheng retrieved the precious tiger meat from the Space Ring, gathered Spiritual Energy, and began refining it with crackling sounds. As Spiritual Energy surged, the originally tough tiger meat gradually became white and translucent, exuding an enticing aroma. The nearby Black Emperor could no longer hold back, lunging forward to feast, only to be gently blocked by Gu Sheng with a wave. "Black Emperor, what’s the rush? Wait until it’s cooked," Gu Sheng said with a grin. Black Emperor grumbled in dissatisfaction but obediently retreated to the side, his eyes fixed intensely on the refined tiger meat, drooling uncontrollably onto the ground. Meanwhile, Xing Lie, Wu Tianxiong, Ying Tianxing, and Kou Hai also got busy. They carefully skewered the refined tiger meat into strips, preparing them for roasting. The firewood was ignited, and flames rose on the Gobi Desert, illuminating the silent night. The group sat around the fire, slowly turning the tiger meat skewers over the flames. As the flames grilled the meat, the tiger fat sizzled and dripped, producing the most melodious symphony echoing across the desert night. "Wow, the smell is divine!" Ying Tianxing exclaimed, taking a deep breath in appreciation. "The texture of the Sky-tearing Saber-toothed Tiger’s meat truly is extraordinary," Xing Lie agreed with a nod. As the flames danced, the aroma of the tiger meat grew richer, permeating the entire desert. It was an intoxicating fragrance that tempted the palate irresistibly. Finally, the tiger meat was fully cooked—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, golden and alluring. Gu Sheng took a bottle of Divine Spring from his Space Ring, treating it as wine to celebrate this barbecue feast. "Come, let’s toast, everyone!" Gu Sheng raised the Divine Spring high, offering a toast to the group. The crowd raised their glasses and then began devouring the roasted tiger meat. The meat melted in their mouths, bursting with savory flavors that left an unforgettable aftertaste. Black Emperor ate so voraciously that grease coated his mouth, his expression brimming with satisfaction. "Wow! This is incredible!" Kou Hai exclaimed, "This is the most delicious barbecue I’ve ever tasted." "Absolutely! Gu brother’s skills are unmatched!" Wu Tianxiong praised. Gu Sheng chuckled, "This isn’t about my skills alone; the credit goes to the exquisite quality of the Sky-tearing Saber-toothed Tiger’s meat and our combined efforts." In laughter and high spirits, the group indulged in the barbecue feast, seemingly unaware of time passing. The fire flickered across the Gobi, bringing warmth and liveliness to the quiet night. As night deepened, the group gradually dispersed, but this festive barbecue feast became an eternal memory in their hearts. They knew this experience would be a priceless treasure, motivating them to keep exploring broader horizons. "Woof woof!" Black Emperor lay contentedly on the ground, rolling over. "That barbecue was absolutely amazing!" "Indeed, it was a great success," Gu Sheng replied with a smile. He raised his gaze to the stars above, his heart filled with anticipation and hope for the future. After satisfying their hunger and thirst, Gu Sheng and his companions set out on their journey toward Duo Ri Ridge. Traversing the vast Gobi, they finally arrived at this legendary and enigmatic land. "So this is Duo Ri Ridge?" Kou Hai gasped as he stared at the towering mountains ahead. "That’s correct, this is Duo Ri Ridge," Gu Sheng confirmed with a nod. "It’s said that Emperor Hengyu once forged the Sun God Furnace here, battling a Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone and ultimately vanquishing the almighty overlord." "Truly awe-inspiring! Who knows when we’ll achieve such a realm," Ying Tianxing said, his eyes alight with aspiration. "Stop dreaming. Let’s focus on figuring out how to get through this perilous land first," Wu Tianxiong interrupted their reverie. Suddenly, an anomaly appeared in the sky. A giant scene unfolded in the heavens, as if history itself was replaying. It was the image of Emperor Hengyu forging the Sun God Furnace. "Oh my heavens, what is that..." Xing Lie exclaimed. In the sky, Emperor Hengyu was clad in golden Battle Armor, wielding an immense golden hammer, and striking a colossal furnace with relentless force. The forge seemed to contain infinite energy; with each strike, it emitted dazzling brilliance. "Is that the Sun God Furnace?" Kou Hai asked. "It must be," Gu Sheng nodded. "The Sun God Furnace is rumored to be Emperor Hengyu’s supreme imperial weapon, possessing the power to obliterate heaven and earth." The heavenly scene persisted. Emperor Hengyu continued striking the Sun God Furnace with thunderous impact, each blow resonating with deafening sound. The furnace’s radiance grew brighter and brighter, seemingly capable of illuminating the entire cosmos. Suddenly, an overwhelming pressure descended from above—terrifying enough to make everyone shudder. It was the force of Emperor Hengyu, and though merely a historical reenactment, its intensity left the group profoundly shaken. "Such a powerful presence!" Wu Tianxiong exclaimed in awe. "This is the strength of a Great Emperor?" "Indeed," Gu Sheng affirmed. "The power of a Great Emperor is unfathomable. They say Emperor Hengyu relied on the strength of the Sun God Furnace to defeat the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone." The scene in the heavens gradually faded, but the lingering sense of awe remained deeply imprinted in their hearts. They understood how far they still had to go to reach such heights. "Let’s press forward," Gu Sheng urged. "While Duo Ri Ridge is perilous, we’ve made it this far. We cannot turn back now."
