Protagonist:

Jiang Xuan

Jiang Xuan's eyes were like lightning; with a raise of his hand, he steadily drew the Eight Trigrams Furnace divine ability to his side.

Ancient and mysterious runes were carved upon his body, every pattern surging with the vast power of Laws.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar, like the thunder when Heaven and Earth first opened.

The cramped space where Pu Mo Wang hid was instantly shattered into pieces by the terrifying power.

The energy produced by the explosion surged like a raging black tsunami, wrapped in the breath of Destruction, sweeping across the entire Bai Duan Shan with the force of mountains overturning seas.

The surrounding space collapsed under the impact of this power, and the flow of time became utterly chaotic.

In an instant, dazzling golden light burst forth around Jiang Xuan, a powerful and mysterious force spreading outward from him as its center.

This force was like an invisible yet indestructible barrier, firmly imprisoning all the might produced by the explosion within a certain range, preventing it from spreading recklessly to the outside world.

At the same time, Jiang Xuan willed it, and the Eight Trigrams Furnace slowly rose above his head; the runes on the furnace body blazed with light, releasing even greater power of Laws, further stabilizing this barrier.

If this destructive might were allowed to spread, a single explosion could reduce everything around to flat ground.

At the moment the light burst forth, the scene at the center of the explosion was briefly exposed to everyone's view.

Jiang Xuan formed hand seals rapidly with both hands, each seal containing the supreme truths of Heaven and Earth; the Zhu Xian Four Swords slowly appeared beside him.

"These four swords have accompanied my growth to this day; now I use them to lay down the Zhu Xian Sword Array," Jiang Xuan's eyes were like torches, locking firmly onto Pu Mo Wang, his voice low and powerful, echoing through the chaotic space, "Do you dare to break my Sword Array?"

With Jiang Xuan's movements, the power of Laws between Heaven and Earth instantly fell into extreme chaos.

The four swords turned into four brilliant streaks of light, swiftly laying down the Zhu Xian Sword Array according to the Four Symbols positions.

For a while, Sword Qi crisscrossed within the Sword Array; every strand of Sword Qi contained the power to destroy Heaven and Earth, as if to slice the entire world apart.

The entire space was twisted out of shape under the pressure of the Sword Array; the flow of time became extremely sluggish, the cycle of Karma fell into chaos, and the trajectory of Fate was thoroughly disrupted.

Pu Mo Wang felt the immense pressure of the Sword Array; black radiance surged wildly around him, a thick darkness like ink, as if to devour the entire world.

Although he knew this array was extremely dangerous, he had no way to retreat and could only charge recklessly toward the Sword Array.

At the moment the Sword Array collided with Pu Mo Wang, the entire world seemed to fall into eternal silence, with not a sound escaping.

This powerful force not only devoured matter but also destroyed the medium of sound transmission, so the sound produced by the collision could not spread to the outside world.

At the center of the collision, space was twisted into a bottomless black hole, and time seemed to stop flowing.

Under the powerful impact, Pu Mo Wang retreated three steps; the black radiance on his body, like remnant snow meeting fierce fire, instantly vanished without a trace.

"Hibernating through the Past Ages, in the end the effort fell short by one basket, unable to return to my world..." In Pu Mo Wang's blood-red eyes, the light gradually dimmed, his body began to rot rapidly, chunks of foul-smelling rotting flesh fell from him, and his former ferocity was completely gone.

"This is the end you brought upon yourself!" Liu Shen's figure was like a towering mountain, divine radiance around him like a Star River pouring backward, every strand of light carrying the breath of Pangu's Axe; his voice was like ten thousand jun of thunder, rolling forth: "In the Xian Gu Great War, countless heroes of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths watered the battlefield with blood, unable even to return their corpses to their homeland. You wretch, what qualification do you have to cling to life, dreaming of returning to your old nest!"

The thick black mist swirling around Pu Mo Wang was like ferocious pythons, surging wildly. His scarlet eyes flashed with ferocity; he gave a Cold Snort and ignored Liu Shen's words.

In his belief, the strong are revered, and victory or defeat is everything.

When they once dominated, they slaughtered the defeated at will; now that he himself was in dire straits, it was merely Fate's trickery.

He glared viciously at Jiang Xuan and roared: "Hmph! Don't get too proud too soon; give your name, so that I, Pu Mo Wang, can die understanding!"

"With you, you deserve to know?" Jiang Xuan stood with hands behind his back, his aura like an abyss and the sea, his gaze cold enough to freeze all things, "Previously you disdained me; now, you don't even have the qualification to look up to me!"

Pu Mo Wang trembled with rage but was helpless, gritting his teeth to squeeze out a sentence: "You this furnace..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Xuan suddenly shouted loudly, forming hand seals rapidly with both hands; the Eight Trigrams Furnace instantly expanded to a height of a hundred zhang.

Runes on the furnace body flickered; every rune was like a living spirit, emitting an ancient and mysterious aura.

The furnace door burst open with a boom, and a scorching breath rushed forth, burning the entire world to ashes.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the surging energy within the furnace was like an Ancient Times Ferocious Beast breaking free from its cage, wrapped in Endless Destruction Power, instantly drowning Pu Mo Wang.

Under the impact of this powerful force, Pu Mo Wang's body teetered, and an immortal point of light at his heart was forcibly drawn out.

This point of light was the Immortal King's Primordial Qi essence that had previously allowed Pu Mo Wang to return from death and slowly recover; it shone brilliantly but now seemed so weak.

Once the essence left his body, Pu Mo Wang's flesh began to rot at a visible speed. His skin rapidly peeled away, his muscle tissue turned to pus, and the whole person, like a corroded sculpture, instantly turned into a pool of disgusting, foul-smelling meat paste.

Only his head floated alone in the air, eyes wide open, filled with unwillingness and Anger. He roared in his heart: I am unwilling.

With the last wisp of breath dissipating, this Yi Yu Demon King who had terrified countless beings at the end of Xian Gu and whose hands were stained with blood, completely vanished between Heaven and Earth.

Pu Mo Wang, this top Immortal King of Yi Yu, died under Jiang Xuan's Eight Trigrams Furnace; the cause of death was precisely this unparalleled strike within the furnace.

The energy storm triggered by this battle surged like a black tsunami, swiftly sweeping across the entire Bai Duan Shan.

Mountain Peaks trembled, the Dadi cracked, the Cloud Layers in the Sky were stirred into chaos, forming a huge Vortex.

Jiang Xuan radiated Brilliance all around him, like a blazing sun hanging high, illuminating the entire chaotic world.

Jiang Xuan originally did not like to show off and had no interest in displaying his strength before others.

In his view, revealing divine abilities before a group of inexperienced children was hardly anything worth being Proud of.

Even outside Bai Duan Shan, those powerful waiters, seeing Bai Duan Shan tremble violently like a heavily wounded giant beast, with shocking cracks appearing on the mountain surface, couldn't help but draw in a cold breath.

At the same time, within Bai Duan Shan, numerous Heaven's Pride heard the deafening explosion, saw the dazzling light rushing straight to the Sky, felt the strong tremors from the Dadi, and all rushed wildly toward the explosion site.

They did not know that right there had just occurred Jiang Xuan's heaven-shaking feat of Furnace Slaying the Immortal King.

In their eyes, behind such a strange scene must hide a tremendous Opportunity; perhaps they could thereby ascend in a single step, achieve the position of Human Emperor, or even be ennobled as a sage or deified.

Thus, everyone chased one another, footsteps and shouts Interweaving, breaking the silence of the Mountain Forest.

Boy was anxious as if on fire, his two little legs like motors, gathering Force to rush toward the direction of the explosion.

All he had in mind was treasures.

But just as he was about to set off, Jiang Xuan's voice transmission, like an invisible rope, suddenly grabbed him: "Stop! What are you running around for! Now other Heaven's Pride are rushing here like madmen; Bai Duan Shan is full of unclaimed Opportunities everywhere; this is a once-in-a-thousand-years good chance!"

The men, women, old, and young of Shi Cun all watched you eagerly, hoping you'd make something of yourself and improve everyone's life. But you—all you know is to join in the fun, never planning for Shi Cun's future. Is that reasonable?

Boy was as if struck by a paralysis spell, abruptly stopping his steps, reaching up to scratch his messy head.

Thinking it over carefully, Master's words did make sense.

Everyone had gone to Master's side, so wouldn't Bai Duan Shan become his playground? Thinking of this, Boy's mouth corner uncontrollably curled upward, almost splitting to the back of his head, and in his mind he had already begun painting the picture of himself sweeping away all the treasures of Bai Duan Shan.

Just as Boy was happily daydreaming about the future, Jiang Xuan's voice transmission exploded in his ear again: "By the way, hurry and find Huo Ling'er, tell her not to come over either, the two of you act together."

Boy heard this, and his face that had just opened into a smile instantly fell, like an eggplant struck by frost.

With Huo Ling'er around, wouldn't his plan to dominate Bai Duan Shan be completely ruined? He couldn't help but mutter softly: "Master is too biased, he treats Huo Ling'er so much better than me!"

As if to prove his words, just as his voice fell, Huo Ling'er led a group of Huo Guo Heaven's Pride, swaggering past.

Huo Ling'er's gaze was keen, locking onto Boy at a glance, and she raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Milk baby, why are you here?"

Boy drooped his head, like a defeated rooster, and responded sullenly: "Waiting for you."

Since Huo Ling'er appeared, Master's concern for him had clearly decreased, and Boy had long been holding a bellyful of anger in his heart.

Huo Ling'er blinked her lively big eyes, a trace of suspicion flashing in her eyes. This little brat was actually waiting for her?

With her cleverness, she instantly thought of several possibilities. "Waiting for me? What exactly do you want to do?"

"Don't go over there, there's nothing at the place that just exploded." Boy raised his hand, pointing in the direction of the explosion, trying to dissuade her.

Huo Ling'er's eyeball turned, and she immediately understood that the "big mushroom" in Boy's mouth referred to the smoke produced by the explosion.

This description was indeed apt.

Just then, a Huo Guo Heaven's Pride couldn't help but jump out, about to open his mouth: "Little brat, you..."

"Shut up!" Huo Ling'er's willow eyebrows stood on end, and she sternly rebuked: "Whoever dares to talk more, upon returning to Huo Guo will be confined for three years!"

The Huo Guo Heaven's Prides looked at me, I looked at you, faces full of bewilderment, completely unable to figure out the situation.

Huo Ling'er then turned her gaze toward Boy, her tone softening considerably: "You wouldn't be voluntarily waiting for me here, would you?"

"Who wants to wait for you! And I don't want to go with you either!" Boy muttered angrily, his cheeks puffed up like a ball.

Thinking about having to live day and night with Huo Ling'er from now on, Boy felt life was pitch black, as if he was about to be teased countless times again.

The Huo Guo Heaven's Prides heard this, each one furious with rage, this little brat, was he too lawless!

But constrained by Huo Ling'er's order, they could only suppress their anger, glaring at Boy with vicious gazes.

These years, the Fire Emperor's cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds, and he distributed peerless treasure pills, with more and more Venerables supporting him, the Fire Emperor's prestige in Huo Guo was at its height, and imperial power was greatly consolidated.

Huo Ling'er herself was gifted with extraordinary talent, faintly showing a trend of becoming Huo Guo's number one Heaven's Pride, and her prestige rose with the tide, no one dared to disobey her orders.

Huo Ling'er's face suddenly bloomed with a smile; she, in her teens, had already blossomed like a flower and jade, this smile was like the warm sun of a spring day, beautiful beyond compare.

But in Boy's eyes, this smile was like a Devil's cold laugh. "You all go elsewhere to seek opportunities, don't go to the place of the explosion." Huo Ling'er said to her followers.

Several Sealers who looked more steady heard this, and their faces instantly turned deathly pale.

They had self-proclaimed their cultivation realms and entered Bai Duan Shan just to protect Huo Ling'er.

Although their strength was sealed, their combat power far surpassed Heaven's Prides of the same rank. "Princess, absolutely not! Protecting you is our primary task!"

"What's there to fear! In this Bai Duan Shan, who could hurt me?" Huo Ling'er stood with hands on her hips, full of confidence. She could clearly feel that the bloodline power within her body was like a rushing river, endless and continuous, giving her the confidence to fear nothing.

Moreover, there was Boy, this "little monster," by her side. In this Bai Duan Shan that suppressed cultivation realms, being with Boy, she felt an overflowing sense of security.

"Princess..." the Sealers still wanted to persuade.

"Enough! After going out, the Father Emperor won't blame you. You just need to protect the other clansmen well."

Huo Ling'er waved her hand impatiently. She knew clearly in her heart that once these people stayed, Boy's identity was very likely to be exposed, and the relationship between Huo Guo and Boy loving beast milk could not be known by outsiders.

Huo Ling'er saw the Sealers dawdling and unwilling to leave, her beautiful brows tightly furrowed, she leaned close to Boy's ear, lowering her voice: "Milk baby, help me shake them off, afterwards I'll give you a big surprise!"

Boy was extremely unwilling in his heart, but it was not easy to refuse.

He gritted his teeth, grabbed Huo Ling'er's hand, and shot out like an arrow leaving the bow, his speed so fast it dazzled the eyes; the Sealers hadn't even reacted before the two had vanished without a trace.

After the Sealers regained their senses, they immediately ran to pursue, but Boy and Huo Ling'er had long since disappeared into the depths of the mountain forest.

After getting rid of everyone, Boy stopped his steps; a cool breeze blew, and the gloom in his heart dissipated quite a bit. "Milk baby, how can you run so fast!" Huo Ling'er's cheeks were flushed red, she asked excitedly; this feeling of racing like wind and electricity made her heartbeat speed up.

"None of your business!" Boy replied fiercely, his eyeballs rolling about, clearly hatching some bad idea at a glance. "Huo Ling'er, in your Huo Guo, does your father have the final say?"

"Of course! My father is the Human Emperor of Huo Guo!" Huo Ling'er raised her head, her face full of pride, as if showing off an incomparably precious treasure.

"Then do you listen to your father and elders?" Boy pressed on.

Huo Ling'er stared at Boy in confusion, her gaze full of puzzlement: "Naturally."

A trace of cunning flashed in Boy's eyes, and a strange smile appeared on his face; he fidgeted for a while before speaking: "Sister Huo Ling'er, what do you think of me as a person?"

Huo Ling'er was startled in her heart; Boy's question made her indulge in wild thoughts. Could this little brat have some strange ideas? Looking at Boy's innocent big eyes, Huo Ling'er didn't know how to answer for a moment: "You're quite good, but..."

"Really?" Boy's eyes lit up instantly, excited to the point of almost jumping up, and he continued: "Since that's the case, why not introduce me to your father, and I'll become sworn brothers with him. From now on I'll be your uncle, let's see if you still dare to bully me!"

Huo Ling'er was as if frozen, stunned in place, unable to speak for a long time. (Chapter End)
