Chapter 774: Earth Emperor Furnace (4K)

I will first comprehend this wondrous law of the Heaven and Earth Furnace!

Zhang Jian and the Longevity Dao Venerable exchanged greetings, then he directly began comprehending this supreme secret law on the spot.

Innumerable heavenly and earthly runes flew out from the jade slip, directly inscribed by him into the depths of his primordial spirit.

As one heavenly and earthly rune after another was directly interpreted by his powerful primordial spirit, the full meaning of the Heaven and Earth Furnace True Scripture unveiled its mysterious veil before him.

Merely after a slight comprehension, Zhang Jian knew this was an extraordinarily special transcendent-limit divine ability secret law.

The Heaven and Earth Furnace True Scripture is a great potent method of creation, taking heaven and earth as the workshop and creation as the charcoal fire.

Rather than saying it is creation, it is better said to be a style of powerful absolute slaughter divine ability.

It involves the coordination of hundreds of powerful heavenly and earthly sources.

At its core, it also involves the operation of the myriad heavens' void and heavenly Dao principles.

This Heaven and Earth Furnace True Scripture has several levels of realms, beginning with the simple Eternal Reincarnation Furnace, then above it the Source Furnace, and even up to the transcendent-limit level Dao Origin Furnace.

These three realms correspond respectively to eternity, the other shore, and the primordial beginning level.

As for finer divisions, Zhang Jian merely glanced over them briefly and paid no attention.

He devoted all his energy to continuing his comprehension of this supreme secret law.

After briefly scanning the Eternal Reincarnation Furnace and the Source Furnace in front, he thought to himself that there would be no problem at all.

However, the Dao Origin Furnace at the end contained a portion of the myriad heavens' void great Dao principles' transformation, which was quite remarkable.

However, the so-called Dao Origin Furnace merely contained a portion of the myriad heavens' void great Dao principles refined and mixed with chaos, forging the marvel of heavenly and earthly principles.

After a slight comprehension, Zhang Jian still felt there was hope to successfully cultivate it.

At the same time, Zhang Jian also discovered that this secret law and his own Harmonizing Creation Method actually had places where they could learn from each other.

……

Within the primordial space, time was silent and still.

The Longevity Dao Venerable stood upon the treetop canopy, his gaze falling upon the distant cloud platform, his expression showing some contemplation.

Deep in his palm appeared an azure-purple mysterious magic talisman.

That was the Azure Heaven Dao Talisman.

Relying on his profound foundation, he forcibly compelled this heavenly divine object to emerge, resealing it.

Although this object was compelled out, yet the entanglement between the Longevity True Realm heavenly Dao and him progressed further; the Longevity Dao Venerable could feel that the Longevity True Realm heavenly Dao, aided by the heavenly Dao divine tree as a springboard, had nearly entwined his primordial spirit, seeking to transform this good corpse incarnation into a guardian through Dao-ification.

In fact, the Longevity Dao Venerable's willingness to unite with the heavenly Dao was not necessarily incapable of advancing further.

This heavenly Dao entanglement would naturally be readily resolved.

However, for the Longevity Dao Venerable, it was not what he desired.

If one's Dao cultivation is insufficient and they forcibly unite with the Dao, they will only entangle themselves further, making escape difficult.

One heavenly Dao of the celestial realm is almost the combined will of all beings, difficult to deal with; a slight misstep would also implicate the true self, polluting one's foundation.

After all, the heavenly Dao aggregates too many things, and within it, one does not know how much pure essence is contained, or how much mixed heavenly and earthly mighty power.

The heavenly Dao is profound and unfathomable; the Longevity Dao Venerable does not wish to lightly stain himself with it.

However, if one could reverse the situation, completely master the heavenly realm, become the lord of one realm, and gain heavenly Dao's support from another aspect, this would be something no one could refuse.

The Longevity Dao Venerable's gaze fell again upon Zhang Jian.

Now, he could only trust the gaze of the Qingxia Dao Lord.

Perhaps Zhang Jian could truly resolve this heartfelt concern for him.

If the good corpse could escape困境, master the Longevity True Realm, then for him, that great dragon on the chessboard would be completely set in motion!

However, the Heaven and Earth Furnace True Scripture is indeed the supreme secret law that this venerable self sought from the Great Heavenly Lord; its cultivation difficulty is extremely great, and I do not know whether this Earth Emperor God can successfully cultivate it.

Thinking in his heart, yet the Longevity Dao Venerable still had considerable confidence in Zhang Jian.

After all, this descendant stepped onto the other shore by treading the path of the supreme being, a Dao Venerable.

The Longevity Dao Venerable stood silently in the void, allowing the passage of time and years to flow by.

Thirty thousand years of time quietly passed.

The Longevity Dao Venerable on the treetop canopy opened his eyes; he noticed that Zhang Jian, who had not moved an inch for over thirty thousand years, finally manifested layer upon layer of strange omens around his body.

Only seen, one after another, invisible source Dao patterns gathered and manifested from around him; in an instant, it seemed as if the myriad heavens' void, the boundless, and the chaos reincarnation were manifested from within, from the nurturing of one heaven and earth by chaos rules, to the collapse of heaven and earth, entering the归墟, and returning to chaos.

Creation and destruction flowed within; moreover, in the boundless乾坤 universe, it seemed as if layer upon layer of perfect and complete heavenly and earthly great Dao principles were flowing, as if able to forge all source divine power.

The Longevity Dao Venerable felt that even the most tenacious source principles would be smelted by the furnace, with a sensation of turning and revolving.

Gazing upon this scene, the Longevity Dao Venerable's eyes held a slight hint of astonishment.

This is the second level of the Heaven and Earth Furnace True Scripture, the Source Furnace.

However, the Source Furnace cultivated by Zhang Jian seemed to contain not only a hundred or so source principles.

Its power was vastly different from what he had imagined.

In his gaze, moments later he saw the countless source Dao patterns gradually fade away, revealing a magnificent blue-red intertwined treasure furnace entwined with endless creation and destruction qi.

At this moment, Zhang Jian slightly waved his hand, and saw a special mysterious qi in his hand condense into form, poured into the Source Furnace, whereupon the blue-red intertwined furnace began to transform into purple-green.

Within, multiple heavenly and earthly great Dao sources interwove and ultimately fused into one, forming a magnificent furnace shaped by a single special heavenly and earthly great Dao principle, faintly bearing a magnificent divine power surpassing eternity and immortality, and moreover, its exterior displayed complete colors, while within appeared a special blue flame.

That blue flame's illusion burned; even if the Longevity Dao Venerable glanced at it, he hastily withdrew his gaze, his eyes flashing with a trace of shock.

He actually felt that his good corpse will seemed to have a sensation of being refined out of thin air.

This truly exceeded his expectations.

His good corpse will was no ordinary thing; it had long ago comprehended the realm of endless life and the unity of heaven and earth; even if heaven and earth were destroyed, his good corpse will could still be reborn.

This nature somewhat resembled the heavenly Dao will, but was even purer.

Moreover, the heavenly Dao will is usually associated with the thoughts of all beings, and it is extraordinarily mixed.

Although its magnitude is immeasurably vast, in purity it is not necessarily comparable to existences such as theirs.

Usually, the purer the will, the harder it is to destroy.

"You've already cultivated the Dao Origin Furnace so quickly?"

The Longevity Dao Sovereign's eyes flickered as he thought inwardly.

But upon closely observing the purple-green flame-wreathed furnace, the Longevity Dao Sovereign pondered in his heart, yet felt it was entirely unlike the Dao Origin Furnace held by the Jade Emperor, Great Heavenly Sovereign, lacking that primordial, beginning-of-heaven-and-earth, Yuanshi-only essence.

……

Zhang Jian gazed at the purple-green furnace condensed before him, a hint of emotion in his eyes.

The profundity of the Heaven and Earth Furnace True Classic surpassed even his imagination.

He had not managed to cultivate the Dao Origin Furnace.

Because it involved a portion of Yuanshi-level profundities.

Thirty thousand years of time was insufficient.

Yet he had taken a different path, cultivating his own exclusive Earth Emperor Furnace.

Taking the Earth Emperor Origin as core, he governed the origins of the Three Thousand Dao, reconstructing the Origin Furnace.

To enhance its killing power, he inexplicably fused a portion of the profound azure sacrificial fire he had comprehended, and surprisingly succeeded in combining them, forming this purple-green Earth Emperor Furnace.

With the addition of the azure sacrificial fire, the might of this Earth Emperor Furnace might not fall short of the Dao Origin Furnace realm.

Zhang Jian waved his hand, putting away the Earth Emperor Furnace, and rose to his full height.

At this moment, a hint of a smile appeared on his eyes.

Leaving aside other benefits, merely obtaining this volume of the Heaven and Earth Furnace True Classic meant he had gained greatly.

If this true classic could truly be cultivated to the Dao Origin Furnace realm, it could become a banner in his hand to traverse the myriad realms.

The Longevity Dao Sovereign appeared silently beside Zhang Jian, his expression slightly inquisitive.

"How is it? Have you cultivated the Dao Origin Furnace?"

Zhang Jian pondered briefly, then spoke.

"Though I have not cultivated the third realm, relying on my Earth Emperor Furnace, perhaps I can give it a try!"

The Longevity Dao Sovereign smiled faintly.

"Then let's try!"

He had great confidence in Zhang Jian!

The divine energy of that Earth Emperor Furnace just now, he had sensed—indeed, he could perceive danger and threat, and thus likely could threaten the Heart Ancestor as well!

At this moment, he immediately waved his hand, and in the void, a door instantly condensed into visibility.

Inside the door lay a layer of heaven-and-earth annihilation, neither living nor dead, with a vast primordial yin-yang divine energy flowing forth from within, and moreover, a terrifying wailing echoed inside, as if capable of polluting and tearing apart the primordial spirit will.

The impact of that terrifying qi made Zhang Jian also feel a stirring in his heart.

Slightly startled, Zhang Jian suppressed the ripples rising from deep within his Dao heart.

The Longevity Dao Sovereign's figure entered the door first, and Zhang Jian followed closely behind.

After a moment, the two appeared upon a lofty altar, before the formation's eye.

It was a grand formation, primordial yin-yang divine light bursting forth from around the formation's eye, continuously rotating, faintly enveloping the boundless cosmos, forming a phantom of a spirit vase.

Deep within the spirit vase phantom, countless primordial yin-yang divine light formed intricate patterns, tightly wrapping a strand of intense, substance-like purple light.

Gazing closely, Zhang Jian's expression shifted slightly.

Yet within the purple light appeared a head of a strange, formless, bizarre insect.

It seemed like a formless Hongmeng purple shadow, within which appeared countless strange, bizarre insect forms, large and small, myriad and strange, these phantom insects manifesting from within.

But deep within the phantom of these myriad insects, inside was a figure whose entire body resembled purple jade, graceful and delicate, bearing twelve pairs of purple cicada wings—a lovely woman. On her beautiful forehead were another eight pairs of purple markings, her eyes opened, yet icy and extraordinary.

This is the Heart Ancestor, Yuanshi.

This Yuanshi Heart Ancestor actually manifested as a female evil god state.

Not as ferocious as imagined.

Instead, there was an evil yet beautiful grace, with layers of purple auspicious clouds floating around him.

This somewhat exceeded Zhang Jian's expectations, and as he stared, he clearly felt the terror of this evil god sovereign.

All auspiciousness was torn apart by a layer of terrifying malice, turning into man-eating, devouring the heavens and earth's ferocity.

An intangible force followed the five senses' connection in the dark void, coming toward his primordial spirit's depths.

As if myriad malice had transformed into endless purple light phantoms, upon close inspection, the purple air was entirely filled with countless rule-formed insects, attaching to his primordial spirit will.

Not yet even approaching, Zhang Jian felt, moreover, a strange power invading his Earth Emperor True Body from all directions.

The Longevity Dao Sovereign watched this scene and did not warn.

If Zhang Jian could not even resist a single method, let alone refine the Heart Ancestor.

But in an instant, countless illusory azure flames appeared, instantly devouring strand after strand of the rule-insects.

Yet see, a layer of illusory azure flame suddenly ignited in the void, instantly wrapping and swallowing all the extending purple light into nothingness.

Feeling part of his method swallowed, the goddess in the purple light opened her eyes, her body seemingly bursting with rolling purple divine light, as if to pierce the entire universe formed by the yin-yang spirit vase, and moreover, a terrible malice followed, firmly landing on Zhang Jian.

"Be quiet!"

The Longevity Dao Sovereign waved his hand, and an innate spirit vase appeared from the void, pouring down myriad layers of primordial yin-yang divine light, continuously cleansing, falling, and consolidating within the great seal.

Zhang Jian's gaze fell upon the exquisite small vase formed by the intertwined Taiji yin and yang, his eyes slightly surprised.

This is an innate spirit treasure.

And it appears to be of high grade.

The Longevity Dao Sovereign noticed Zhang Jian's gaze and smiled.

"This object is called the Tai Xuan Yin-Yang Spirit Vase, born in an alternate-dimension universe, upholding the yin-yang concept as a top-grade innate spirit treasure; if not for this vase cooperating with the Taiji Yin-Yang Grand Formation, this venerable one might not have been able to suppress this wretch!"

Then the Longevity Dao Sovereign smiled.

"Today, the karmic debt of this wretch, Yuan Chu, is fully settled. Zhang Jian, go ahead! Refining this wretch will also greatly benefit you—this wretch bears countless blood debts, and can be considered a walking 'God of Merit'."

He then opened the formation gate, and Zhang Jian's true form entered it on his own.

Within the formation, as soon as Zhang Jian stepped inside, he sensed countless purple lights surging like a flood from the depths of the void, rushing toward him and seeming to completely envelop him.

Countless rule-worms continuously combined in the void, ultimately forming a vast river of purple aura, mighty and surging, within which one could seemingly see the malevolent thoughts of all creation, hatred drifting about—born from countless beings devoured, and even from heaven and earth being gnawed hollow, producing indelible malevolent thoughts.

Ordinary powerhouses, if they had never touched this river of purple aura, would likely have their Dao hearts devoured by this boundless malevolence.

"With such heavy karmic sin, you cannot be spared!"

Zhang Jian slightly furrowed his brows; at this moment, deep within his brow, a lamp emitting boundless light—the innate divine lamp of righteous radiance—appeared, protecting his primordial spirit and Dao heart, refining the strange and toxic purple light, preventing contamination of his Dao heart.

Behind him, three thousand divine wheels of light surged forth from the hundreds of apertures across his body; at this moment, his mighty aura spread like a vast ocean, and a purple-gold dragon-shaped divine light flowed around his body, forcefully dispersing the grand river of purple aura that annihilated endless dimensions of time and space.

As he focused his will, countless illusory cyan sacrificial fires coalesced in the endless void, ultimately forming a vast purple-cyan furnace filling the heavens and earth, enveloping the Heart Ancestor's entire form within it.

The illusory cyan sacrificial fire appeared, and in an instant dragged the immensely towering goddess figure into it.

Behind his head, the faint shadow of the Nine Heavens Dao Divine Wheel emerged; in his palm, he grasped the Earth Emperor's furnace, heedless of the ferocious, surging collisions and explosive sounds within, solely driving his vast Dao cultivation, determined to utterly refine to death the evil god sovereign of the myriad heavens' void here.

This posture of his resembled that of a primordial sovereign who forges and tempers heaven and earth within the myriad heavens' void.

Such vast divine power overflowing, even the outer Taiyin-Yang Grand Formation continuously hummed.

On the altar, the Longevity Dao Sovereign watched this scene, his expression stunned for a moment, then a hint of a smile appeared.

The Heart Ancestor has this time encountered his nemesis!

"The old demoness is surely doomed!"

His immortal and indestructible true form—this time, perhaps he cannot again shed his cocoon and be reborn!
