Within the underwater base.
The Ghost Samurai quietly slept in the Furnace, but suddenly, its top began to surge, and a face gradually surfaced—it was Xu Yi’s face.
With the help of his Main Soul, he jumped from the Dream World to reality.
Xu Yi’s complexion changed slightly. Although he had anticipated this, only by truly experiencing it did he understand how terrifying the Furnace was.
Bursts of heat rushed at his face, and the high temperature in the Furnace could directly target the soul.
Xu Yi’s face began to blur, as if it were melted wax, but he actually breathed a sigh of relief.
Because only the surface was dissolving, the Origin had not been damaged for the time being.
The reason why his soul’s Origin was so robust was not only due to Soul Crystallization but also because of Freddie.
As a Domain Soul, setting everything else aside, the ability "Origin Constancy" alone was already incredibly powerful.
Luckily, when he encountered Freddie, the creature had already been forgotten for many years, unable to draw energy from the dreams of others, else it would have been more troublesome to deal with.
"I must speed things up!" Xu Yi thought urgently.
The Soul Split had descended into the real world, relying on the strength of the Main Soul. If too much time passed, the Main Soul would not be able to endure it since it hadn’t completely devoured and fused yet.
Once the fusion was complete, there would be no need to be so cautious. The soul could easily jump from the Dream World to reality.
The metal tentacles on the back of the Black Hound danced, and wild blue currents spread out like wings. It charged towards Annabelle with incredible momentum.
Annabelle didn’t retreat. A purple aura curtain unfolded from her, and Toy Space was released. A "pencil case" continuously expanded until it became a heavy Golden Coffin.
The surface of the coffin was etched with complex circuits, and the faint light of an Array quietly flowed.
The lid of the coffin slid open on its own, and a Crystal Red figure appeared before Annabelle. The Crystal Red longsword parried the electrical tentacles blanket attack.
The pupils of the Ghost Samurai glowed with dark golden flames once again.
Due to the isolation of the Dream World, Xu Yi couldn’t connect with the Ghost Samurai, but now that the Soul Split had descended, he could, of course, control the Ghost Samurai again.
The battle commenced. Xu Yi controlled the Ghost Samurai, working with Annabelle to combat the Black Hound.
At the same time, he needed to multitask and deal with the matters concerning the Ghost Samurai.
Xu Yi brought the Perception Ability, inherited from the Lord of the Black Abyss, into full play. Black ripples penetrated the inner workings of the Ghost Samurai, and the ripples seemed to touch upon something.
He pushed his Perception Ability to the limit. The ripples intensified, causing invisible chains to gradually appear.
"No wonder there is no escape!"
Xu Yi gazed at the silver chain and suddenly understood.
The invisible chain must be a Mythic Level Holy Artifact. It delved into the innermost parts of the Ghost Samurai, firmly binding a purple "slug."
That was the Origin of the Ghost Samurai.
With the Origin locked, it was impossible for the Ghost Samurai to escape the Furnace, which is why it appeared so desperate.
The chain turned red-hot, and the melting speed of the Ghost Samurai suddenly surged.
The peculiar creatures falling into the Furnace melted quickly, not just because of the high temperatures, but the chain was the true trump card.
The chain could transmit high heat, acting directly upon the Origin, and that’s why those creatures appeared so defenseless.
"The power of the Furnace is terrifying, but this isn’t necessarily a bad thing!" Xu Yi thought to himself.
To obtain the dark force, he had to "squeeze" the aberrant demons to their limits, which meant a "high-pressure environment" was indispensable.
Usually, to construct a qualified "high-pressure environment," one would need to arrange an extremely complex Array.
But the Furnace before him had reduced the difficulty by more than half.
Although the difficulty decreased, with their current conditions, it was simply impossible to arrange an Array.
At this moment, the many abilities of Xu Yi manifested their advantage.
He possessed an ability that could substitute for an Array, albeit a weakened version of it.

The Golden Coffin was not closed, and another shadow flew out from within, Xu Yi’s body suspended in mid-air, his eyes tightly closed.
The body, of course, had not "come to life", and the Soul Split hoped to return to the body, but it still needed to endure the "corpse stiffness".
Three years had passed, and the "corpse stiffness" had reached an extremely terrifying level, only a Main Soul evolved to the "Soul Master" stage might possibly endure it.
The reason why the body flew out of the Golden Coffin was, naturally, due to Annabelle’s evil control ability.
Annabelle was floating beside the Golden Coffin, she only needed to apply Curse Technique, and did not need to fight up close like the Ghost Samurai, so she was still able to assist Xu Yi.
The Ghost Samurai erupted in vain, slashing out with a fierce flame blade aura, driving back the black hounds.
It withdrew to the side of the body and used all its strength to slash, Xu Yi’s arm was cut open.
Even the Body of Demigod, without the support of the soul and "dead" for three years, had become far less defensive than before.
Blood flowed out, the blood was actually still fresh, exuding a faint platinum color – this was the strength of the Body of Demigod.
The blood did not fall, but floated in mid-air, solidifying into crimson threads.
These were the Binding Soul Threads, one of the abilities of the "Soul Jade" entries.
Xu Yi planned to use the furnace in front of him, in conjunction with suppressing the "Soul Jade", to forcefully extract dark energy from the hovering demonic speck.
The Binding Soul Threads entered the furnace, a faint blood mist steamed from its surface, showing no signs of disintegration, the powerful blood withstood the high temperature of the furnace.
The crimson threads flew towards the hovering demonic speck, and at this moment, the slumbering demonic speck suddenly woke up, the jelly-like body surged and enveloped Xu Yi’s face.
It wanted to possess Xu Yi!
Though its Origin was bound by chains, if it made up its mind to forcefully separate, some Origin could still escape.
But here lay the problem: how could the separated Origin survive?
Bear in mind that it was inside the furnace, actively separating Origin was undoubtedly a path to death.
But now, with Xu Yi’s arrival, there was a way to solve the problem, as long as it could possess Xu Yi, there was a chance to escape from here.
Facing the "stab in the back" from the hovering demonic speck, Xu Yi’s face showed no panic.
How could the weirdly cunning, experienced Xu Yi be unaware and unprepared?
The hovering demonic speck suddenly froze; it controlled the body to envelope Xu Yi’s face, but a new face suddenly appeared beside it.
It hurriedly controlled the body to cover the newly formed face.
But it quickly realized that this was just the beginning, more and more faces grew out, densely packed and covering its entire body.
The hovering demonic speck continued to cover these faces, but the faces kept regenerating, seemingly endless.
This was Oss’s ability of "Endless Faces", Xu Yi had inherited not only Freddie’s abilities; as he continued to devour and assimilate, the abilities he mastered would become increasingly numerous.
The hovering demonic speck suddenly contorted in pain, relentlessly slamming against the furnace’s inner walls.
In its bid to possess Xu Yi, it had blocked the furnaces refining, wanting to maintain its best state.
But such a method had side effects, which was that once the Isolation failed, it would suffer an even more severe backlash.
Isolation also had a time limit, otherwise it wouldn’t have chosen to enter slumber to avoid the pain.
When the hovering demonic speck realized it could not possess Xu Yi, it gave in to despair, causing the Isolation to fail prematurely.
"A great opportunity!"
Xu Yi’s eyes lit up, and he quickly controlled the Binding Soul Threads to weave into a net, enveloping the hovering demonic speck.
