Chapter 33 The Demonic Painting That Has Been Removed from the Furnace Cannot Be Suppressed
Qi Yuan bit into a Blood Secret Pill and crushed it.
Flesh and bone regenerated from the severed arm, and crimson light surged forth as he lifted the sect's sacred furnace with a single hand.
The bronze furnace rose into the air and expanded with a roar—
Three zhang, ten zhang, thirty zhang.
The bronze furnace rose to a height of 100 meters.
The flame patterns on the furnace wall came to life.
Each line transformed into a crimson-gold fire serpent, hissing and flicking its tongue.
With its opening facing the sky, the flames shot straight up into the clouds, causing the array's light barrier to hum and tremble.
Behind the main peak is a mountain stream waterfall. At this moment, the water has just fallen three zhang (approximately 10 meters) before being completely evaporated by the fire.
The water vapor didn't even have time to rise before it vanished into nothingness.
"kill!"
Qi Yuan shouted sternly.
Li Xian neither dodged nor avoided; he flipped his hands, revealing the moon on the left and the sun on the right, and the Chaos Sun and Moon Seal flew out of his hands and smashed into the bronze furnace.
A hazy, chaotic ball of light collided with the furnace wall.
"Thump—!"
The entire mountain was shaking.
A palm print ten feet deep was smashed into the surface of the bronze furnace, dozens of flame patterns shattered, and the crimson gold light dimmed.
But only for a moment.
The palm prints began to heal, the fire serpents resumed their movement, and the bronze furnace was as good as new, even brighter than before—it was even devouring the remaining energy of the Chaos Sun and Moon Seal.
'It can heal itself and absorb attacks to replenish itself? Is there a deity inside this furnace...?'
Li Xian's eyes changed slightly as he unleashed the first move of the Demon Emperor's Nine Slashes—Destroying Form.
The silver-blue blade light surged to ten zhang, carrying the demon emperor's Daoist aura that tore through the void, and slashed fiercely at the waist of the bronze furnace.
"laugh--!"
A deep knife mark tore open the furnace wall.
A stream of molten lava spewed out from inside.
Within two breaths, the knife wound quickly closed.
Li Xian refused to believe in evil and slashed nine times in a row, each slash landing precisely in the same spot. The knife marks overlapped, tore, and expanded—the deepest part had cut into the furnace wall by nearly a foot.
But the aftershocks of the ninth strike had not yet dissipated, and the first eight strikes had been completely healed.
"it's useless."
Zhao Wuji's voice came from behind.
Unhurried and composed, like an old hunter watching his prey struggle.
"This furnace has its own divine law of repair. Unless the force of a single blow exceeds its tolerance limit, it will not be fundamentally damaged even if attacked for a long time."
"You're only at the Other Shore Realm, you're far from it."
Li Xian did not answer; he was merely testing the deity within the furnace.
After all, he wasn't Ye Fan, and Heaven and Earth didn't recognize the Holy Body's achievements.
He was just an ordinary mortal and didn't have the good reputation his ancestors had earned. He had to run away immediately if anything went wrong.
Give up the trial.
Li Xian started hitting people.
With the Golden Lotus Body Technique activated, the illusory image of a golden lotus bloomed beneath her feet, and her figure transformed into a stream of light, bypassing the bronze furnace and heading straight for Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan's expression changed.
He pressed his left hand quickly against the furnace wall.
The bronze furnace roared, its mouth turned towards Li Xian, and spewed out a fire phoenix about ten feet in size.
The fire phoenix flapped its wings, its feathers gleaming with gold, and the heat wave generated by its outstretched wings melted the surrounding stone slabs into lava.
Immediately afterwards, eighty-one waterfalls of lava poured down from the furnace opening, covering the sky and blocking all of Li Xian's advance routes.
"go."
Li Xian clasped his hands together.
The second Chaos Sun and Moon Seal was unleashed, and the gray light sphere collided with the Fire Phoenix.
The fire phoenix exploded, golden feathers flying everywhere, each one carrying a scorching heat that could burn the soul. The Chaos Sun and Moon Seal was completely consumed in the collision.
Eighty-one lava waterfalls are still falling.
Li Xian retreated swiftly, avoiding the first wave of lava. He then unleashed his Annihilation Technique, his silver-blue blade cleaving through the second and third waves...
Lava splashed everywhere, landing on the array's light barrier and hissing as it rose into the air.
Just as he was dealing with the lava—
It got dark.
Zao Wou-Ki unfolds an ancient painting with both hands.
The scroll swelled in the wind, covering the entire array's light screen.
The painting depicts a pitch-black abyss, within which countless blurry faces roar, and the resentment of the dead descends as solidified black mist.
Magic painting.
The secret treasure of Xuan Yue Cave.
The black mist descended, swallowing up even the light in its wake.
Li Xian felt a violent tremor in his sea of consciousness, as countless resentful thoughts pierced his soul like needles.
'I don't believe your painting is also a damaged imperial weapon!'
Li Xian was filled with fighting spirit.
Jinlian's body flashed.
His height increased by thirty feet.
He took out the ring knife and fused it with the third starting move of the Demon Emperor's Nine Slashes - Divine Wound.
The silver-white blade does not cut the physical body, but targets the soul.
This strike was aimed at the demonic painting, with the goal of destroying the vengeful spirit within and undermining the foundation of the secret treasure.
The blade's edge disappeared into the frame in an instant.
The vengeful spirit let out a mournful scream.
The black mist dissipated, and the Emperor's Buddha Light erupted, tearing the demonic painting apart.
But behind Li Xian, the lid of the bronze furnace—
It opened silently.
A suction force erupted from the furnace opening; it was neither wind nor fire, but a force field that distorted space. The golden lotus beneath Li Xian's feet shattered, and he was completely locked in place by that force field.
Qi Yuan's face was contorted with rage, his hands forming hand seals, his ten fingers dripping with blood—
This is the price paid for activating the restrictions on the bronze furnace with one's own blood and essence.
"Go in!"
Li Xian was suddenly pulled toward the furnace opening.
He struggled, and the Chaos Seal slammed into the edge of the furnace mouth, creating a loud bang.
The bronze furnace shook, but the suction force not only didn't decrease, it actually became stronger.
Zhao Wuji tacitly activated the remnants of the demonic painting, and the black mist transformed into dozens of chains that bound Li Xian's limbs.
Two powerful cultivators from the third level of the Dao Palace, one wielding a weapon and the other a treasure, joined forces to suppress the enemy.
Li Xian was gradually dragged into the furnace.
At the last moment, he looked back one last time.
Ning Qingyi collapsed onto the ruins.
His lips moved, but no sound came out.
Lei Ying crawled forward desperately, her fingernails breaking and leaving a long trail of blood.
"Immortal Master—!"
The furnace lid was closed.
boom.
The main peak fell silent.
The more than four hundred disciples looked at each other, not daring to utter a sound.
Du Chengkun slumped to the ground, panting heavily.
Li Youran picked up the folding fan, her hands still trembling.
"it's over."
Zhao Wuji put away the magic painting, his face pale, clearly heartbroken.
next second.
He walked to the bronze furnace.
He reached out and stroked the furnace wall, his eyes revealing a greedy look:
"This thing... is truly terrifying."
"The young man's seal and sword intent were top-tier techniques even in the entire Northern Region, but they couldn't make a ripple after entering this furnace."
Qi Yuan collapsed to the ground.
His ten fingers were a bloody mess, and a maniacal smile hung on his lips.
"Of course it can't be turned over." He panted. "This furnace... is said to be a discarded product of the Sun God's Furnace. When Emperor Hengyu was forging the Sun God's Furnace, he was not satisfied with the first batch and casually threw it away. It was picked up by the founder of my Li Huo Sect."
Zhao Wuji's pupils contracted:
"A discarded item from an ultimate imperial weapon?"
"Even discarded items are raw materials for Emperor-level artifacts." Qi Yuan grinned. "There's a wisp of Emperor-level fire sealed inside the furnace; if it falls in, both the soul and the body will turn to ash—"
He hadn't finished speaking.
"Thump."
The bronze furnace shook.
Both of them changed color at the same time.
"Thump! Thump!!"
The bronze furnace trembled violently.
The perfectly healed flame patterns on the furnace wall suddenly cracked, and a silver light seeped out from the crack.
That was the scent of the bright moon.
But it is ten or even a hundred times more concentrated than the moon seal that Li Xian released before!
Qi Yuan's face turned deathly pale, and he leaped to his feet:
"Impossible! How could the embers of the Emperor's Flame not suppress him?!"
Without wasting words, Zhao Wuji slammed his hands against the furnace wall, unleashing the divine power of the Dao Palace.
Qi Yuan followed closely behind, his remaining blood dwindling as he forcefully activated a secret technique. The two of them pressed their four palms against both sides of the bronze furnace, sealing it together.
The vibrations of the bronze furnace stopped for a moment.
Then, it exploded even more violently.
"Thump!!!"
The third bang caused both of them to cough up blood and stagger backward.
The cracks on the furnace wall grew larger and larger, and the silver light became brighter and brighter.
From inside the bronze furnace, a very deep voice emanated—
It wasn't a human voice; it sounded like some kind of wave surging and moving.
Wow.
slam-la-
