The peerless black hand that covers the sky

Chapter 1129 The Mind Monkey's Furnace and the Vajra Bracelet!
At that moment, the young man felt like he had become the "Tang Monk's flesh" in his hometown legend, coveted by millions of demons!

Moreover, terrible changes were taking place on him; his entire body was rotting, every inch of his flesh and blood, from the inside out, no part of him was spared!

"what happened?"

The young man was shocked, and black blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth. Countless colorful hairs pierced through his flesh and grew out. Almost instantly, he was transformed into a terrifying and bizarre monster!

He did his best to sense and capture the root cause of the changes in his own body, which turned out to be related to the gate of endless potential within his body!

Normally, these portals contain celestial treasures, as if they have drawn pure and sacred primordial power from the vast universe. Once opened, they shine brilliantly, causing one's life level to be transformed and sublimated, leading to a more beautiful state.

People often refer to extraordinary and powerful individuals as sacred or divine, believing them to be perfect in every way, and this is why.

But at this moment, behind the portal, what was connected seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, from pure and sacred to a source of all sorts of terror!

It's like it's transformed from a celestial burial site into... a celestial funeral!
What was originally a gateway to the Immortal Emperor's treasury has become a burial ground for immortal spirits, where eeriness and misfortune unfold amidst decay and decay!
Like a clean pipe that originally flowed with sacred rain, but instead was diverted to a filthy ditch!

"How could this be... Could it be that the rules of this world have changed, affecting all living beings?"

He had to think so.

However, he was powerless to do anything. The river of time carried him through the channels of time, heading towards an eternally unknown place.

The further he went, the stronger the feeling of being coveted became, and the more pronounced the changes in him became.

Finally, when he entered a place that seemed like nothingness, the feeling and the changes he experienced reached their peak!

At that very moment, his unparalleled wisdom, talent, inspiration, and insight seemed to grasp something in the darkness, giving rise to a guess that made him tremble from his soul to his body!

"perhaps……"

"It's not just a change in the environment, nor simply the infiltration of pollution, that has eroded me..."

"Instead... the problem lies at its very source. This world itself is eerie and ominous, merely disguised by a layer of 'normal'!"

"When the unexpected breaks through the 'normal,' the truth will be revealed!"

There is no evidence to support this conjecture.

After all, the young man's current strength is only that of a Celestial King. How can he possibly touch upon that ultimate challenge?
However, he could sense that as his body began to decay and became bizarre and extremely ominous, although neither his emotions nor his reason could accept it, his strength seemed to have increased, and the surging potential from the gate of human potential became even more violent!

This is the truth, and it reveals something indirectly.

If a person can become powerful through "darkening," then perhaps it means that the essence of that world is not "order," but "chaos," which is the main theme and cannot be changed by individual will, and is on a never-ending path of increasing entropy.

Because it is right, it becomes powerful!
However, such correctness is not necessarily truth, goodness, or beauty; it is merely a personal pursuit and perspective on life.

The young man struggled to control himself. His strength was increasing rapidly, and his life level was sublimating at an extremely fast pace. Although it was deteriorating and decaying, he had indeed become much stronger, and this was relentless.

However, there is no free lunch. The more powerful one becomes, the more out of control one becomes, leading to confusion in body and mind, and divergence in the path of conflict!
"We can't go on like this..."

He gritted his teeth, blood spurting from them, his eyes wide with rage, trying to suppress the terrifying figure that was gradually becoming clear in his mind. It was a reflection of the various abnormalities on his body, revealing the rotting, hairy "him" as a tyrannical and ferocious ape!

Roar!
The monkey roared, tearing apart the chains built by countless pollen grains, and howled to the sky.

This was like the breaking of some kind of balance, a complete upheaval that changed the space-time around the young man and made his expression change as he tried his best to suppress it!
My premonition has come true!

It really is... a den of iniquity!
Billions, even countless evil spirits... are emerging one by one, filling this void!

If pollen symbolizes or points to the heroic spirits recognized and worshipped by the world, representing truth, goodness, and beauty, and positivity and justice.

So the evil spirits here are the embodiment of all negativity and wickedness!
The young man's face first turned green bit by bit, then pale bit by bit, and even as it rotted, the colorful hair could not conceal it.

“Very spicy!”

"Is this how my life is going to end?"

"Just out of the tiger's mouth, into the dragon's abyss..."

"Can I still be saved?"

With nowhere to turn and no way out, beset by internal and external troubles, he racked his brains but couldn't think of any way to fight his way out.

Hopeless!
Wait to die!
"Big Black, the village bully back then, you're lucky to be alive... I can't go back, I can't keep the oath I swore after you chased and bit me for dozens of streets, to find a hundred female dogs and beat you a hundred times over..."

“Uncle Cao next door, I knew you weren’t a good person since I was a kid. You were always out in the dirt and mountains, and you even said you’d teach me some skills to make money from the land… Now I know, you’re just a tomb raider, doing a job that will make you childless…”

"And there's Grandpa Jiang who raises silkworms and grows lotus, and Aunt Liu who's a bit eccentric..."

"Alas, so many years have passed, perhaps you've all turned into a handful of dust, with not even a trace of your bones left..."

"I climbed the heavenly path, singing as I went, always moving forward without ever looking back, until I was faced with a desperate situation, only then did I realize there was a faint regret in my heart..."

The young man sighed inwardly. If heaven could give him a second chance, he…

boom!
In the midst of despair, a sudden burst of brilliant light erupted, like a ray of dawn in the darkness, illuminating a world of despair!

Mountain darkly, vista!
The firelight shone, and so did the young man's eyes!
"Is that it?!"

His voice was filled with shock and disbelief as he looked at the source of the fire—a grayish-brown...furnace!
He vaguely remembered that this was an object he found after a flash flood when he was a child. It was nothing special, but it was one of the few joys he had when he was young.

It's been used to brew tea and stew meat; it's very durable.

He didn't know when the stove disappeared, as if it had been lost, which made him regret it for a long time.

But on this day, it reappeared, and right there in his body, it displayed its supreme divine power!

The flames roared, igniting the ancient universe and resonating with his physical body, sealing his inner ape within the furnace for a terrifying ordeal!

Roar!
The monkey roared in fury, and this time the roles of offense and defense had reversed!

It was the restless mind struggling and fighting, yet unable to stop its gradual defeat. Reflected in the youth, this manifested as the fading of one bizarre and terrifying physical characteristic after another: hair falling out strand by strand, decay disappearing inch by inch, blood turning from black to red…

Purify the ominous, return to normal!

"Incredible..."

The young man murmured, feeling as if he were in a dream, his mind wandering uncontrollably... What was going on with him? Had a priceless treasure come to him when he was young?
"Perhaps I've been caught in some terrible vortex..."

He suddenly sighed, thinking about how he was sitting at home when disaster struck out of nowhere.

He was in seclusion, exploring pollen routes, when suddenly a peerless expert attacked and tried to kill him!
Who did he provoke?

At the critical moment, a peerless goddess intervened and saved his life.

However, while they were saved, the rescue was not complete. It seemed as if some unseen force was reaching out, stirring things up, with unclear intentions.

The mind evolves, evil spirits resonate, until a furnace is forced out!

Each and every one of these events exudes an unusual aura; it is a terrifying game of strategy and power struggle, and he is the pawn at the center of this game!
"It is said that those beings who stand at the end of the path of evolution, at the pinnacle of the Great Dao, and above even the Dao Ancestors, possess a vision that transcends the constraints of time. The vast sky is a canvas upon which they can freely paint their own masterpieces..."

"Their battles are not only in the present, but also in the past and the future..."

"Therefore, there are always some battles that seem inexplicable to the world, fighting for no apparent reason... In fact, they are not without reason, but rather stem from the need to prevent certain things from happening in the future..."

"Having glimpsed a corner of the future that was unfavorable to me, I took action, like pruning the branches of a tree, trimming the annals of time to nip future threats in the bud..."

The young man speculated, then sighed deeply, "To cover up the truth and stifle the seedlings... it's too despicable, despicable!"

"Can't we wait until I'm fully developed before we openly clash?"

"Bullying the weak and taking advantage of one's strength... what kind of hero is that!"

He was furious and manipulated the furnace, increasing the heat to completely refine the restless mind.

Strange to say.

The furnace is clearly a supreme treasure, incredibly powerful, capable of deterring all evil, refining the mind monkey, and rendering it powerless to fight back.

However, he manipulated this powerful artifact as if it were his own arm, without the slightest difficulty.

It should be noted that, generally speaking, the more powerful a weapon is, the more difficult it is to activate.

Either there's a requirement for a certain level of strength, or the Soldier Lord's strength is too weak, and the Supreme Treasure can drain the Soldier Lord dry with just a slight exertion of its power.

Either there is an invisible matching mechanism protecting the master of the weapon, allowing it to display power at the level it is at, but with the added characteristic of never being destroyed.

However, here, things defy common sense and don't follow the rules. The furnace is incredibly powerful; with a single command, it can burn everything to ashes and turn it into nothingness!

The young man had strong confidence that even a supreme Dao Ancestor or Quasi-Immortal Emperor would be refined and reduced to ashes once encased in this small furnace, with just a single spark of fire inside!

As for the Immortal Emperor... it's uncertain. Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't.
A fully automatic crematorium furnace – you deserve it!

Even in dire straits, with evil spirits lurking around, and needing a furnace to suppress my restless mind, I am still invincible in this world!

The young man was full of energy and had a ruddy complexion. The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and he was up and running again!

This high morale continued until the evil spirits, intimidated and driven back by the firelight, began to act strangely.

As if summoned and commanded, they suddenly knelt down one by one, bowing to the youth with the solemnity and reverence of mortals worshipping gods!
In an instant, the young man felt his hair stand on end, as if some great terror was about to occur, which he sensed through his innate intuition!
He involuntarily looked down and saw strange, indescribable lines and textures intertwining beneath his feet, condensing symbols, and constructing runes. One rune after another gathered like stars into a sea of ​​stars!

Finally, the sea of ​​stars condensed and transformed into... an altar!
And he stood on this altar!

It's like a... sacrifice!
Without a doubt, this is a terrible ritual that sacrifices young people to communicate with an unfathomable great will!
Almost the instant the ritual began, he was unable to move. Even the terrifying flames of the unknown furnace were frozen in place, as if they were being suppressed by some terrifying force!

"Roar!"

The restless mind, as if empowered, was instantly sublimated, becoming incredibly powerful. In the instant when all things froze, it struck with all its might, lifted the furnace lid, broke the shackles, and transcended the cage!
boom!
The mind is undergoing a transformation, as if it has been reborn, experiencing a qualitative leap.

And what's the price to pay?

However, the true form was illusory. The young man's figure suddenly dimmed, as if it were about to turn into a dream bubble and fall into a void of illusion!
Originally an illusion, the restless mind, revealed by a sudden change, moves from illusion to reality.

What was once a real existence has fallen from reality into a dream.

The subtle interweaving, like a two-way journey, or the result of a ritual, is a great terror hidden behind the scenes of the times!
The normal become mere illusions; the rotten and bizarre, however, live on in the world!
The young man could not accept this outcome. He tried his best to shake his mind and prevent it from happening.

But even the magical furnace was frozen in an instant, let alone him?
Struggling desperately to no avail, she collapsed from exhaustion and convulsions, helplessly watching the tragedy unfold.

"This time... it looks like we're really doomed..."

"Without hope, you will lose everything..."

At that moment, he realized a fact: when a person comes into this world, he is naked and has nothing; it is this world that gives him everything.

If one day, the world is turned upside down, altered and distorted, and everything is stripped away, one can only leave naked, unable to take anything with one's back.

A strange sense of enlightenment was flowing through me, but unfortunately it was of no use.

until--

"cough!"

A soft cough, accompanied by a buzzing sound, and a streak of light pierced through despair and darkness!

Like a shooting star, it tore through the black curtain woven by all evil, shook the altar constructed of countless runes, and finally crashed irresistibly onto the completely sublimated and transformed Heart Monkey, making it stagger!
The interplay between reality and illusion, the mixture of replacement and being replaced, has created a flaw and a gap!

what is this?
The young man's eyes widened as he saw it—it was a Vajra Bracelet!
