Chapter 587

Buzz buzz buzz—

The Heaven-Earth Meridian fire burst forth instantly, a splendid golden radiance spreading across heaven and earth, as if causing everyone's eyes to lose their luster in an instant!

All brilliance was snatched away by the bright, resplendent light of the Heaven-Earth Meridian fire!

A Heaven-Earth Meridian fire ape towering a hundred zhang roared while standing, its terrifying might continuously spreading and releasing, causing the ground of the entire Cover-Heaven Palace City to tremble, as if it could not withstand the heat and would crack inch by inch!

This is the Heaven-Earth Meridian fire, the most terrifying flame of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, indeed the flame of rules!

Even if an immortal were to touch it, they would suffer immense corrosion, unable to withstand this power, their flesh and blood withering away, everything melting!

At this moment, almost everyone's gaze was drawn to this terrifying Heaven-Earth Meridian fire ape!

At the instant the fire ape struck the Cover-Heaven Cauldron, an invisible shockwave, like a howling dread wave, spread in all directions; a pillar of flame shot straight up, rushing into the clouds.

Shattering layers of smoke and clouds, sweeping away myriad streams of light!

Shi Shao Jia, Fu Shao Xi, and other young emperors narrowed their eyes; Shi Shao Jia pressed his palms together, his body floating in midair, as he drew upon a strand of Heaven-Earth Meridian fire's energy to replenish and strengthen his own cicada patterns.

At this moment, he could not help but awaken from his meditative state, his gaze sharp and piercing, falling upon the hundred-zhang-tall Heaven-Earth Meridian fire ape.

"The divine eagle carved by Cangche Xianshou… actually truly surpasses this young emperor's!"

Shi Shao Jia drew a deep breath, his heart trembling.

At this moment, the Heaven-Earth Meridian fire combined with the fire ape formed from the divine eagle's spirit and charm; it is actually the most vivid way to compare whose divine eagle technique is superior.

Originally Shi Shao Jia was unconvinced, but at this moment his heart gradually sank.

He knew that this Cangche Xianshou was indeed superior to him in divine eagle technique!

He cannot compare, truly cannot compare.

But he does not need to compete with Cangche Xianshou; a mere Cangche Xianshou, he does not care at all.

He, Shi Shao Jia, is the young emperor of the Black Sumeru Gods' Camp, his veins flowing with the primordial immortal blood!

His future will surely be the realm of immortality!

The divine eagle is merely one of his hobbies; he does not need to be the best, he only needs to reach the immortal realm in his cultivation, then he can overwhelm everything.

He once again focused his mind and spirit on capturing the ancient golden cicada patterns.

However.

Shi Shao Jia did not notice that, within the immense hundred-zhang Heaven-Earth Meridian fire ape, a figure flickered into existence for an instant and then vanished, hidden by the aura of the Heaven-Earth Meridian fire, merely flashing past.

When the massive body of the Heaven-Earth Meridian fire ape touched the Cover-Heaven Cauldron.

After making his choice, Li Che opted to shift over, appearing inside the Heaven-Earth Meridian fire ape's body, using the moment the ape touched the Cover-Heaven Cauldron to achieve penetration.

This allowed Li Che to sense the situation inside the Cover-Heaven Cauldron.

Then he chose to use Flying Thunder Shift to enter!

Li Che still felt somewhat unwilling; if he did not try, leaving Qi Tian to be refined by the Heaven-Earth Meridian fire.

Li Che might regret it for the rest of his life.

But if he were to try, even if he failed, he would not let his heart continue to regret.

Because having tried, he could be free of resentment and regret, his thoughts enlightened!

At this moment, the situation is very dangerous, performing a Flying Thunder Shift under the watch of three earth immortals and one heaven immortal.

The risk is extremely high!

Li Che nearly reduced the Heaven-Earth chessboard to its utmost, hovering above his head, spinning within a small space, enveloping himself to achieve the convergence of his aura, and furthermore he pushed the slumbering elephant effect of the Dragon-Elephant Golden Vigor Dao fruit to the extreme!

He exerted all his effort to conceal himself from the immortals' notice, entering the Cover-Heaven Cauldron to rescue Qi Tian.

And this was Li Che's only opportunity!

Only at the instant the Heaven-Earth Meridian fire ape touched the Cover-Heaven Cauldron, only this brief moment, could Li Che use Flying Thunder Shift to enter the Cover-Heaven Cauldron and meet up with Qi Tian.

Above the Cover-Heaven Cauldron.

Eighty-one fire monkeys, varying in size, the Heaven-Earth Meridian fire blazing wildly.

Even space was burned, twisted, and shattered.

As the eighty-one fire monkeys struck the Cover-Heaven Cauldron, its temperature rose to the extreme; the refining heat within was terrifyingly fierce, enough to melt everything!

However, at this moment.

The white-haired, white-browed Old Lord Immortal slowly opened his eyes.

A hint of unusual color appeared in his gaze.

"A little worm… has slipped into the cauldron?"

Behind him, a seven-colored light wheel continuously rotated, endlessly shifting, like a dreamy illusion.

The Old Lord Immortal's expression remained unchanged; he formed a seal with his five fingers, his beard and hair fluttering slightly; even amidst this Heaven-Earth Meridian fire onslaught, he handled it with ease, relaxed and composed.

His gaze swept over, looking toward the area where Li Che was; there, Li Che's dominant clone sat cross-legged on the ground, drenched in sweat, sweat soaking his back, also drawing in a strand of Heaven-Earth Meridian fire just like Shi Shao Jia.

The Old Lord Immortal watched for a while, saw no difference, and the unusual color in his eyes grew deeper.

As a heaven immortal, he was supremely confident in his perception; just now there must have been some small thing trying to shield his perception and burrow into the Cover-Heaven Cauldron.

And the other party had indeed done so.

"The Cover-Heaven Cauldron… getting in is easy, getting out is hard."

The Old Lord Immortal gave Li Che a deep look.

Then he formed a seal with his five fingers and said coldly.

The five-finger seal changed again; instantly, the eighty-one Heaven-Earth Meridian fire monkeys became more violent, continually striking the Cover-Heaven Cauldron, causing its internal temperature to keep rising, relentlessly incinerating everything!

Used by the Old Lord Immortal as a tool to refine Qi Tian.

The power of this Heaven-Earth Meridian fire pill-refining divine formation is immensely terrifying; even the Old Lord Immortal never expected that a tiny worm would dare to plunge in, unafraid of death.

Since it fears no death, the Old Lord Immortal can no longer be bothered to care.

In his view, unless a heaven immortal burrowed in and attempted to strike.

Otherwise, given the present circumstances, for Qi Tian it is already a dead end.

The Heaven and Earth Vein Fire, however, is a force that Lao Jun Immortal, after the scheming of the three‑generation divine tide, finally set in motion, forged by the conviction that the demonic monkey of Qi Tian must be refined away!

Buzz—

Lao Jun Immortal's body floated down and plopped onto the lid of the alchemical furnace.

With a thud, a muffled sound rang out.

Three Earth Immortals' eyes flickered, their mighty immortal will surged forth, summoning an even more terrifying Earth Vein Fire, which merged with the Heaven Vein Fire.

……

……

Buzz—

The instant his five fingers clenched, Li Che completed the Flying Thunder Translocation.

But the very moment the translocation was achieved, he appeared inside the Dou Tian Furnace.

Li Che then felt an endless, scorching heat surging wildly!

Where his eyes fell, everything was a scarlet hue!

All around turned into a crimson color; the searing temperature made Li Che's body nearly unable to endure, as if it would melt away instantly.

In an instant, Li Che transformed his body into a Martial Immortal form; his robust flesh seemed to emit a clanging of gold and iron, as if bursts of lightning sparks were exploding within his flesh.

That was because the extreme heat collided with the great power within his flesh.

Roar—!

Dragon's chant, elephant's snort!

The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit was directly stimulated; the primal Dragon Elephant flame ignited, continuously matching this terrifyingly high temperature, preventing his flesh from succumbing and collapsing.

"Heaven and Earth Vein Fire... truly terrifying!"

Li Che inhaled sharply.

At the entrance, only scorching heat remained; the air was virtually nonexistent.

"You kid... how did you run in?"

"You don't care about your life?!"

A flash of golden light burst forth instantly, it was the Qi Tian Temple God, whose whole body of monkey hair seemed ablaze.

The Qi Tian Temple God squinted, his golden eyes looking at Li Che with a hint of disbelief.

"You kid... you're truly a fierce wave!"

"I've seen those fleeing for their lives, never those courting death!"

Qi Tian swayed his head, though he knew why Li Che had appeared inside the Dou Tian Furnace.

However, he still felt a bit frustrated; hadn't he already contacted Li Che and had the kid transfer all of his Qi Tian essence into the Ruyi Golden Cudgel?

Qi Tian had already prepared himself to die peacefully.

Yet, this kid actually ran into the Dou Tian Furnace!

"Feeling hot?"

"Now you're really in the thick of it... this Dou Tian Furnace is Lao Jun Immortal's Heaven Immortal Divine Weapon, capable of gathering the primordial essence of the Heaven and Earth Vein Fire, whose power is even more terrifying!"

"Besides that, you see the four walls of this furnace, right?"

"The curved arches are purposeful; they are engraved with statues, each of which can capture the energy of the Heaven and Earth Vein Fire burning outside the furnace and amplify it several times within the furnace!"

"Even Heaven Immortal can refine it for you!"

Qi Tian floated down, scratching his ear and clawing his cheek.

He began to worry for Li Che; now it's troublesome, the kid has entered the Dou Tian Furnace...

How should he send him out?

Entering is easy; getting out, however, is difficult.

The difficulty has risen many times over.

"You kid... try your special translocation power, can you move out?"

"It's basically impossible; the inner wall of the furnace and the outside are completely different, possessing a function that refines spatial Dao power. Lao Jun Immortal refines elixirs with countless ingredients, many of which excel in spatial power; indeed, Lao Jun once sliced a massive void as a refining ingredient!"

Qi Tian, as a Heaven Immortal among these divine factions, has contended with the divine tides for several ages.

He knows their methods quite thoroughly.

"You kid, sense it, and you'll find that teleportation is impossible now; the void has been severed."

Qi Tian sighed.

Li Che's eyes flickered as he clenched his five fingers.

Faintly, his perception of the Flying Thunder Chess Piece, which remained in the external formation as his dominant clone, became very vague.

Attempting translocation met an extremely strong resistance.

But…

It is not utterly impossible to move out!

This caused a flash of delighted surprise to rise in Li Che's heart.

Although the sense of translocation power was very faint, it still existed.

Just as entering the Dou Tian Furnace required touching the furnace itself.

The spatial sealing force inside the Dou Tian Furnace has been amplified enormously, so the difficulty of Flying Thunder Translocation has naturally increased greatly.

The pulling time required is too long!

So long that…

He might not wait long enough to translocate out before the furnace's power refines him away!

Sweat beads the size of beans continuously exuded from Li Che's body, each round bead slipping down.

With a pat sound, it fell onto the ground of the Dou Tian Furnace and instantly vaporized into nothing!

The scorching heat made breathing through the mouth and nose uncomfortable!

If this continues, we really won't be able to relocate out of the furnace!

A slight stir arose in his heart.

In front of his eyes, flowing lights interwove and appeared.

【Dao Fruit: Chess Saint (lv8, 90%)】

Earlier, by traversing the Heaven-and-Earth Chessboard and outlining the fifth ancient Heaven-and-Earth sigil, that pressure continuously raised the maturity of the Chess Saint Dao Fruit!

Thus, the current Chess Saint Dao Fruit is only a little short of the seventh metamorphosis.

It also greatly increased the relocation power of the Heaven-and-Earth Chessboard.

However, the only regret is that the Chess Saint Dao Fruit has never undergone the seventh metamorphosis!

If the Chess Saint Dao Fruit achieves the seventh metamorphosis, Li Che believes the time required for Flying Thunder to relocate out of the furnace would be greatly reduced!

Li Che's black shirt began to melt into ash under the high temperature, revealing an incomparably powerful saint body.

The mortal saint body displayed a bronze hue, shimmering with flowing light, as if ancient symbols were circulating upon it.

"Chess Saint Dao Fruit... if it can metamorphose, it will greatly shorten the pulling time."

"But in haste, I have no way to improve the Chess Saint Dao Fruit."

"So, to sustain until the summoning is completed..."

Only Li Che, resisting the furnace's refining power, can do it!

Li Che gasped heavily, his jet‑black hair entwined with qi and blood, flashing with brilliance, dancing wildly.

His gaze turned toward the Qi Tian Temple deity.

"Senior Qi Tian, you must not criticize me again; if you don't try, my heart will always feel a bit unwilling."

"Of course, we are not unable to escape this furnace."

"If it truly doesn't work... then we will strike outward from within the furnace."

Li Che said with a smile.

He was certainly not acting on a momentary impulse, killing his way into this furnace where the Immortal of Heaven sits to refine.

Naturally, he was also prepared.

"Kill out? Hey, I, Lao Sun, have heard your little idea... big ambition, huh?"

Qi Tian scratched his ear and cheek, his face turned ash‑gray from the furnace's scorching heat.

But he let out a mischievous laugh.

"You plan to use that automaton beast of yours, right?"

"I, Lao Sun, have sensed that you have embedded the Ruyi Golden Cudgel into that automaton beast, causing my primordial power to merge into it..."

Qi Tian narrowed his golden eyes.

"Yes, with the senior personally controlling, the power of this arm‑spanning Qi Tian Armor should be unleashed to the extreme!"

Li Che inhaled deeply and said.

"Break out from within the furnace and kill outward!"

Inside this furnace, even Li Che found it extremely difficult to activate Mo City Fengdu.

But difficulty aside, it is not impossible.

However, there is only one chance to activate.

Once activated, the space‑locking force inside the furnace will seal the entrance to Mo City Fengdu, preventing it from dispersing.

Then, the furnace's terrifying scorching heat will wildly surge into Mo City Fengdu, incinerating everything.

Mo City Fengdu would be destroyed in an instant.

If the arm‑spanning Qi Tian Armor is released too early, it will require extra power to resist the furnace's high temperature.

Another point: although the Pure Heart Dao Fruit assists the refining, the transmission of the Ruyi Golden Cudgel's primordial power to the Qi Tian Armor has not yet fully succeeded.

Therefore, this is also why Li Che did not immediately activate Mo City Fengdu.

After hearing, Qi Tian merely shook his head: "Little fellow, you think Lao Jun's Immortality is too simple."

"Even if I, Lao Sun, regain my full combat power, I still couldn't kill out."

"Look inside this furnace; this interior forms its own world, the very realm where Lao Jun's Immortality conducts its sacrificial refining!"

"Every primordial site of the Immortal of Heaven is an extremely terrifying place; being in such a site is equivalent to falling into the opponent's domain—where could one easily break through?"

Qi Tian's words caused Li Che's complexion to change slightly.

"I, Lao Sun, guess that Lao Jun's Immortality already knows you have appeared here," the Qi Tian Temple deity said with a smile.

Li Che's expression instantly turned somewhat sour.

"Then there is only the first method..."

Li Che exhaled.

Upon entering this furnace, Li Che naturally performed deductions on the Heaven-and-Earth Chessboard, placing a move with the Chess Saint Dao Fruit.

To refine Qi Tian, Lao Jun's Immortality must toss numerous rare treasure pills and divine medicines into the furnace!

Before entering the furnace, Li Che had decided to use these rare treasure pills to refine their properties, forcibly ingest them, and boost the mortal saint body's physical strength!

To raise the maturity of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, letting it exert all its power toward the eighth metamorphosis!

Although this is a conjecture, the success rate reaches ninety percent!

This is also why Li Che was willing to charge in.

And now, Li Che is certain that as long as his physical strength increases, the longer he endures inside the furnace, the more the Flying Thunder relocation can be achieved!

Li Che exchanged his ideas with Qi once.

- Li Che (person)

We decided: "Li Che equalized his idea once." However, we might want to make it more natural: "Li Che made his idea equal once." But "equalized his idea" is okay. Could also be "Li Che made his idea uniform once." I'll keep "Li Che equalized his idea once."

Thus only Li Che is a person name.

Oh?

Hehehe, great idea!

We had: "You're planning to feed yourself until you're white and plump, so that the Immortal Old Lord can refine you into a pill with full potency and satisfying effect!" Let's refine: maybe "You're planning to fatten yourself up, white and plump, so that the Immortal Old Lord can refine you into a pill with full potency and satisfying effect!" Both fine. I'll keep as is.

"Immortal Old Lord"

"Temple God Qi Tian's palms swayed like butterflies as he laughed loudly without cease." Could also be "Temple God Qi Tian's palms swayed like butterflies as he laughed loudly without end." We'll keep.

"Temple God Qi Tian"

"Li Che rolled his eyes."

"But still, the chances are actually quite high." Could also be "But still, the probability is actually quite high." We'll keep.

"Qi Tian narrowed his eyes and said."

"Qi Tian"

"The heaven-earth meridian fire has been activated; from now on, it will need to be refined for forty-nine days." Could also be "The heaven-earth meridian fire has been activated; from now on, it will need to be refined for forty-nine days." Good.

We had: "Over these forty-nine days, we must add a stalk of precious medicine each day, refining Lao Sun until his origin, bodily energy, and the medicine's potency merge, ultimately forming a pill." Could also be "During these forty-nine days, we must add a stalk of precious medicine each day, refining Lao Sun until his origin, bodily energy, and the medicine's potency merge, ultimately forming a pill." We'll keep.

"Lao Sun"

"Qi Dao"

But we already have "Qi Tian". Could be two different characters. We'll keep both.

"It seemed as if he clearly told Li Che how he would die." Could also be "It seemed as if he clearly told Li Che his method of death." We'll keep.

"Oh, of course, this will also be how you die, kid."

"Qi Tian grinned, his eyes flickering as he oddly looked at Li Che." Could also be "Qi Tian grinned, his eyes flickering as he strangely looked at Li Che." We'll keep.

"He truly didn't expect Li Che to choose to enter the Heaven-Enveloping Furnace."

"But what he hadn't anticipated even more was……" Keep the ellipsis.

"Li Che actually brought something extra with him!"

"Good kid, first refine these medicinal ingredients… Withstand forty-nine days; for you, that should be extremely difficult."

"But, while refining the medicinal ingredients to strengthen your body, plus with Lao Sun's help, you should be able to withstand it."

"First try your method; if it doesn't work, then we truly only have one way out: breaking out of the furnace."

"Temple God Qi Tian hehehed and laughed."

"It seemed that after Li Che entered, he was no longer flustered, but instead became confident."

"Li Che rubbed his head, as if his arrival gave Qi Tian strong confidence."

"Hey, no wonder he's the Great Sage Equal to Heaven; he truly has fiery eyes and golden pupils."

"Li Che is so strong!"

"Li Che also didn't continue with nonsense."

"Sitting cross-legged, inside the Heaven-Enveloping Furnace, the temperature rose

hiss——

Li Che felt his flesh's skin, as if scorched, began to peel, and his expression turned solemn.

rumble——

Qi and blood surged wildly, rushing incessantly.

Begin using the Heaven-Enveloping Furnace's terrifying high temperature to temper the flesh!

The progress of the stagnant Mundane Dust Saint Body was actually slowly rising.

…… - none.

…… - none.

Above the alchemy furnace.

Immortal Old Lord swept his whisk, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The little bug entered the alchemy furnace……

How do you want to jump about?

Inside the Heaven-Enveloping Furnace, even a Heavenly Immortal would find it hard to easily break free……

Otherwise, where would he get the confidence to refine Qi Tian in this lifetime?

The Divine Alchemy Formation is complete; the heaven-earth meridian fire will continue to burn for forty-nine days; thank you for your hard work, all immortal masters.

After this alchemy session, each immortal master, aside from the stipulated reward, will receive one pill granted by the old man.

Immortal Old Lord lightly laughed and said.

Thank you, Old Lord!

The eighty-one arrayed immortal masters all opened their eyes; even those who were currently refining, such as Shi Sha Jia, Fu Sha Xi, and the young emperors, all bowed in gratitude.

Although Li Che couldn't move out of the Heaven-Enveloping Furnace, his sovereign avatar's thoughts nevertheless connected with his main body.

Now, the old man will begin to add the first precious medicine.

Immortal Old Lord's words ended.

The three Earth Immortals exchanged a glance; behind them, the seven-colored divine light wheel spun faster, then they raised their hands, and powerful immortal will burst forth from their palms.

thud——

A sky-piercing beam of light poured down from above the alchemy furnace.

Then, Immortal Old Lord swept his wide sleeve, throwing out a piece of crystal-clear, translucent jade-green leaf.

Shi Sha Jia pressed his palms together, his cicada patterns like flowing fire, his pupils astonished.

This is a two-saint upper-grade precious medicine, a bodhi leaf!

Shi Sha Jia drew a sharp breath.

You're putting in such precious medicine right from the start?

No wonder Immortal Old Lord said, the medicinal potency of this Qi Tian Divine Pill is at least ninety percent assured, helping cultivators break through the immortal barrier, helping Earth Immortals, and enabling them to comprehend the profundity of the Heavenly Immortal realm.

thud!

The lid of the dan furnace burst open with a boom, a gap forming.

Throw that bodhi leaf into it.

Then the lid snapped shut again, a terrifying roar forming a shockwave that spread, the furnace's heat flow, as if in an instant, turned into a dreadful tide that raged fiercely!

Hoo‑hoo‑hoo—

The gale howled, as if the heavens and earth changed color!

Fu Shaoxi, Shi Shajia and the other young emperors all grew solemn.

The scorching heat is terrifying; even a little leakage makes their bodies sting—truly dreadful!

Only a being like Qi Tian Yaohou, comparable to the Heaven Immortal, would need such terrifying power to sustain the seventy‑seven‑forty‑nine days of the offering, right?

If they were the ones, they wouldn't even need an hour; they'd turn directly into blood and water.

…

…

Dong—

The furnace lid opened and closed again.

At extreme speed.

Li Che, just after sweating profusely and lifting his head, found that the furnace lid had closed again.

A leaf shimmering with emerald luster drifted down from mid‑air.

"This is a bodhi leaf, my dear."

"Good kid, hurry and refine, draw out its medicinal essence! Lao Sun will help you guide it!"

Qi Dao.

In the next moment, a step landed, and he floated into mid‑air.

The bodhi leaf entered the furnace, instantly enveloped by scorching heat; the leaf began to curl, and its edges started to burn bit by bit.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the precious bodhi leaf turned into a pool of emerald‑green elixir, the residue already burned into ash and scattered.

Thus the furnace filled with rolling black smoke, unbearably choking.

"Good kid, continue!"

"Hold on!"

Qi Tian floated in mid‑air, snapping a finger over the elixir.

The emerald elixir instantly turned into a torrential downpour, blasting toward Li Che's seated direction!

The droplets of elixir, in an instant, seeped into Li Che's body.

Li Che's jet‑black hair wildly fluttered in an instant.

This…

He thrust his head up sharply, inhaled deeply, and bone‑piercing pain spread over his whole body in an instant!

Every inch of his body endured the elixir's scorching and grinding!

Unprecedented pain instantly engulfed Li Che's body.

Qi Tian floated in the air, arms crossed over his chest, his powerful divinity radiating, filling the furnace and blocking Lao Jun Immortal's detection.

"Hehe… you kid, daring to rush into this furnace, must be for the Jail Lotus daughter, right?"

"The father of the Jail Lotus daughter is indeed extraordinary in this God Tide."

"Having witnessed the might of the Three Great Divine Factions, this kid must feel immense pressure; Lao Jun Immortal, the Immortal Divine Emperor, the Sumeru Three Buddhas, the Immortal Wa Huang… these Heaven Immortals, even a single one can exert huge pressure on him."

"So this kid… even if it means death, will come to aid Lao Sun; besides his belief, he also wants to find for the Jail Lotus faction a being capable of standing against the Heaven Immortal."

Qi Tian floated in the air, his monkey hair fluttering slightly.

His mind was clear.

Where could such belief make Li Che disregard everything, life and death, to save him?

Li Che's actions were only for his daughter Xixi, all for the Jail Lotus daughter.

If the Jail Lotus faction lacks a Heaven Immortal.

It would be absolutely unable to contend with the Heaven Immortals of the Three Great Divine Factions.

The fate of the Jail Lotus daughter would also be unchangeable.

Although this kid has great room for growth, he may one day reach the level of a Heaven Immortal…

But that requires time.

The eighth God Tide is nearing its climax; after the climax comes the finale.

The Three Great Divine Factions will give him no time.

"Refine your physique well; seize this chance to grow strong!"

Qi Tian lifted his head proudly.

His golden eyes tore through the furnace's black smoke.

As if piercing the furnace, he stared directly at Lao Jun Immortal seated above it.

"The Jail Lotus faction… indeed needs an immortal warpower."

"Since that's the case, for this Eighth Generation God Tide, Lao Sun will gamble alongside this kid."

Qi Tian's golden eyes narrowed.

His gaze flickered with a hint of daze.

"This kid… comes from the same place as Lao Sun."

"The birthplace of myths?"

"Having pursued for so long, I thought there was no hope, but never expected… dawn to appear!"

"If that's so…"

Qitian opened its mouth, upper and lower sharp teeth, emitted sharp light, sharp ape's howl, shot out from the elixir furnace.

"This temple god, hehe, I, Old Sun, won't do it anymore!"

"I only seek battle in this life, no longer look to the next life!"

The words fell.

The Qitian temple god shot up into the sky, and on its body, every monkey hair began to burst forth with brilliant golden light.

Then, one after another, they detached from his body.

Floating in the air, like bodhi leaves, they were burned and melted by the terrifying high temperature inside the Heaven-Covering Furnace, turning into medicinal liquid, which Qitian flicked with a finger to explode.

Turning into medicinal liquid, it was continuously sprinkled onto Li Che's body!

Li Che's consciousness seemed to have fallen into chaos.

At this moment, all that remained was gritting his teeth, fully activating the Mundane World Holy Body, enduring this pain and refinement.

Thud thud thud—

The heart pounded violently, blood surged like a vast sea tide, racing wildly through the blood vessels!

Thud—

The furnace lid was lifted again.

The second precious medicine was poured in; the high temperature of the Heaven-Earth Pulse Fire was gathered by the elixir furnace walls, burning the precious medicine and refining it into medicinal liquid!

The Qitian temple god opened its eyes, splashed open the medicinal liquid, and scattered it toward Li Che.

After the medicinal liquid soaked in, the monkey hairs on Qitian's body detached again, fused into medicinal potency, and together bestowed upon Li Che.

Thud thud thud—

The elixir furnace opened and closed repeatedly.

One medicinal ingredient after another was poured in.

Each time a precious medicine was poured in, it meant a day had passed!

The temperature inside the elixir furnace rose again!

And in the Heaven-Covering Furnace.

Li Che's whole body, from head to toe, seemed to have turned into charcoal.
