Chapter 63: Lihuo Divine Furnace

"Incompetent fury!"

Jiang Xuan's expression remained unchanged, like a heavenly deity descending to the mortal world, standing firm between heaven and earth. He struck out with one sword; the sharp sword qi was like the Purifying World Sword, red radiance tearing through space. That Void Shattering Palm, and the Ice and Snow Phenomenon permeating the space, were actually split apart by one sword. "The Void Great Emperor was never inferior to anyone in his life, it's just that these juniors are not worth shaping." After shattering the Void Shattering Palm and the Ice and Snow Phenomenon, Jiang Xuan did not intend to let Ji Haiyue off.

A faint smile appeared on his face; his whole figure was robust and handsome, purple qi permeating, extremely noble. He took one step forward, and the scorching flames around him burned the very space. The Heaven and Earth Furnace reappeared, with sun, moon, and stars being born and perishing within the furnace, and gods, ghosts, demons, and monsters wailing within the furnace; all things were contained within a single furnace.

One step forward, one furnace descends.

This is Burning Heaven Boiling Sea, a strike that penetrates the earth.

"Boom!"

Ji Haiyue's divine light iron armor was completely shattered, and all his magic treasures turned into molten iron, losing their luster. Everything collapsed under the suppression of the Heaven and Earth Furnace. As he roared, he let out a howl like a lone wolf's lament; half of his body was shattered. He wanted to mobilize his divine power again, burn his life, and strike a desperate blow.

But Jiang Xuan gave him no chance at all; the Heaven and Earth Furnace shook violently once more.

Like an ancient god mountain rising from the ground, its momentum was like a rainbow, and again like a great sun hanging from the endless distance, shining upon the earth. Ji Haiyue's other half of his body shattered again, blood qi permeating, fragments of his internal organs flying wildly.

"Void Shattering!" He tried to resist, wanting to bite a piece of Jiang Xuan's flesh before dying.

"Desperate resistance!" Jiang Xuan took another step forward, his foot shaking the ground. With just one step, Ji Haiyue, whose flesh was about to condense, was shaken into a cloud of blood mist.

What unparalleled ferocious might, what invincibility under heaven!

Jiang Xuan frowned slightly. Ji Haiyue had been beaten into blood mist by him, and the accompanying knights were even more powerless to fight back, directly incinerated by his Heaven and Earth Furnace. However, their magic treasures and divine weapons were also shattered, turned into ashes, turned into molten iron.

He secretly sighed that it was a pity, thinking that in future battles he must leave the opponent's magic treasure resources behind.

Sword radiance tore through space; Jiang Xuan continued forward.

On the second day, above a desolate and barren land, a team of eighteen people stood ahead, blocking his path. Savage beasts roared, shaking the sky, and eighteen great flags waved, sealing off this void.

"The Ancient Ji Family?" Jiang Xuan smiled faintly, completely unconcerned.

"You have repeatedly killed my Ji family members; there is no path for you to live under heaven or earth."

The leading middle-aged cultivator's voice was cold and sharp. The eighteen great flags fluttered noisily; these were artifacts refined by Dragon Transformation cultivators, and also a heavy treasure in the Ji Family. Jiang Xuan's eyes were filled with a smile, staring fixedly at the eighteen great flags.

"Not bad, not bad." Purple qi permeated; his body shook, and sword radiance crisscrossed.

"The Ancient Ji Family is truly warm-hearted, knowing I lack magic treasures and divine materials, and specially coming to send warmth." He pointed one hand to the sky and unleashed Immortal Trapping Sword Qi. The space jointly sealed by the eighteen great flags had countless attacks against him shatter one after another.

"Eighteen Four Extremes cultivators, eighteen artifacts refined by Dragon Transformation cultivators, not bad, not bad." Jiang Xuan swung his left fist, and a Heaven and Earth Furnace flew out from his fist imprint, growing in size with the wind, transforming into a thousand-zhang Divine Furnace. Terrifying swallowing power erupted; the eighteen great flags could no longer maintain stability and were sucked into the furnace mouth one after another, turning into eighteen streams of light that entered Jiang Xuan's mouth.

Then he took another step forward; ten thousand sword radiance shot out from his fingertips. His momentum was boundless, surpassing the Four Extremes Famous Masters. A Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe appeared around him, a noble purple robe, like an Emperor Lord ruling over the heavens.

The bodies of the eighteen Four Extremes Famous Masters were turned into sieves by the sword radiance, but they had not completely died yet; their divine power remained, and they tried to condense their divine power.

But this was of no use at all.

Jiang Xuan stood tall and said lightly, "I do not love killing; it's just that the Buddha has a compassionate heart, and also the wrathful eyes of the Vajra." Jiang Xuan strode forward, his momentum shaking the sky. He clenched his fist, and the eighteen Four Extremes Famous Masters exploded.

On the fourth day, Jiang Xuan continued north all the way, encountering a group of Yaoguang disciples who contributed over ten spiritual weapons and over a thousand jin of source to Jiang Xuan. The Yaoguang Holy Land, a powerful force, guessed his location based on his route and speed, so they intercepted him again and again.

On the fifth day, Jiang Xuan came to a boundless and desolate land. The soil was reddish-brown, with not a trace of vitality. Within a thousand li, there was no sign of human habitation.

"This should be the Northern Domain. Between heaven and earth, desolation and loneliness pervade. Sensing carefully, there is a violent and murderous mysterious qi."

Heading north all the way, Jiang Xuan encountered a band of bandits, asked them for the location of the Lihuo Sect, and the Heaven and Earth Furnace descended, instantly refining them.

The Lihuo Sect was merely a small sect in the Northern Domain. The strongest person in the sect was no more than a Supreme Elder at the third layer of the Dao Palace.

Apart from the Supreme Elder at the third layer of the Dao Palace, only the Sect Leader was a cultivator at the first layer of the Dao Palace. The rest of the elders were at the Divine Bridge and Other Shore levels, and were not even as strong as the Lingxu Dongtian.

At this moment, before the mountain gate of the Lihuo Sect, Jiang Xuan walked with his hands behind his back, stepping inside. His overwhelming momentum spread in all directions. All disciples and elders kept retreating, but no one dared to act.

"Young man, has my Lihuo Sect ever had a grudge with you, Guan Xia?" Sensing that the visitor was not friendly, the Lihuo Sect Leader and the Supreme Elder appeared together. The terrifying momentum of this youth before them made them tremble with fear. Could he be a Holy Son of a Holy Land entering the mortal world?

"No grudge, no enmity."

The Lihuo Sect Leader and the Supreme Elder were even more doubtful. No grudge, no enmity. Could this "Holy Son," newly emerged from seclusion, want to rid the people of harm? One must know that the entire Northern Domain was like this: big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp. Even if they destroyed their Lihuo Sect, there were still countless sect powers more evil than them.

Moreover, if speaking of evil, the Holy Lands are the greatest evil.

"I've come to snatch treasures!" Jiang Xuan smiled faintly and directly stated his purpose. With a big hand, he formed a claw and directly grabbed at that old man at the third layer of the Dao Palace. The entire hall was filled with a destructive mysterious qi.

"What!"

The Lihuo Sect's Supreme Elder was directly shocked in mind and spirit by this sudden claw. Without thinking, he opened his mouth and spat out a streak of bright light, extremely dazzling, fixed in midair.

A hundred-meter bronze furnace stood in the void, firelight soaring to the sky, like a flame mountain pressing down, causing ripples in the Heavenly Vault. The lid of the bronze furnace flowed with radiance; though made of bronze, it was nearly transparent like five-colored glass, and the raging flames inside were clearly visible.

"Good treasure, good treasure." Jiang Xuan's eyes lit up. He swung a fist, and the Heaven and Earth Furnace Divine Ability was unleashed instantly. A hundred-zhang furnace pressed down on the void. The fierce fist intent was awe-inspiring, and the terrifying temperature burned mountains and boiled seas. Several nearby mountains shattered instantly and exploded in all directions.

In the distance, all the elders and disciples were horrified. Even from afar, this momentum made them dare not have the slightest thought of resistance. If they got closer, they would probably be melted by the high temperature immediately, or shattered by the fist intent immediately.

"Spare your subordinates, we surrender!" The Supreme Elder hastily bowed his head, mobilizing his divine power, and pushed the sect-protecting Divine Furnace toward Jiang Xuan.

But at this moment, a streak of divine light shot straight toward the Lihuo Divine Furnace, intending to take the Divine Furnace away.
