Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

The vortex core of the Chaos Furnace suddenly expanded, and an irresistible, terrifying suction force originating from the source of chaos suddenly erupted, precisely enveloping those powerful war spirit leaders!

"Ouch——!"

Several war spirit leaders roared in shock and rage, struggling frantically.

They erupted with soaring, malevolent blood light, condensing into enormous beast claws, bone spikes, and soul flames, desperately bombarding the enveloping chaotic suction force.

The soul power fluctuations of the half-step Void Refinement level caused spiderweb-like black cracks to appear in the surrounding space!
However, everything is in vain.

The furnace of chaos forges all paths!
The seemingly terrifying attack fell into the gray, chaotic vortex, like a mud ox entering the sea, without even causing a ripple. Instead, it was swallowed by the vortex and transformed into fuel for the furnace to run!

The suction suddenly intensified, like an invisible, chaotic giant hand, fiercely seizing the struggling battle spirit leaders, forcibly dragging and compressing their massive soul bodies, pulling them inch by inch toward the core of the furnace that symbolizes ultimate annihilation!
"No—!" The leader of the battle spirits, which resembled a giant winged tiger, let out a final, desperate soul scream as its soul body disintegrated inch by inch under the tearing force of chaos.

Pure! Magnificent! Ancient! Containing their earth-shattering fighting spirit in their lifetime, their understanding of heaven and earth, and their eternally undying violent origin!

These most core and refined fragments of divine consciousness, like divine crystals stripped of impurities, were transformed into several dazzling torrents of different colors under the refining of the Chaos Furnace. They no longer resisted in the slightest, but instead carried a kind of taming after being assimilated by the Chaos Origin. They rushed wildly into the Chaos Mark on his back through the invisible channel between the furnace and Yu Changsheng!

boom! boom! boom!
Yu Changsheng's body became the eye of the storm!

The influx of divine consciousness into each fragment is like a meteorite being thrown into a calm lake!
His meridians, which had long since transformed into chaotic spiritual meridians, were now like a riverbed being torn apart, groaning under unbearable pressure.

The chaotic mark trembled violently, its light flickering uncertainly, as if it might explode at any moment!

His sea of ​​consciousness was stirred up by a monstrous wave!

Countless fragmented yet grand battle scenes were forcibly inserted: gods and demons roared, stars shattered, laws clashed, civilizations wailed in flames... The immense and complex impact of wills was like billions of red-hot steel needles, piercing his soul! Excruciating pain!
Excruciating pain, exceeding the limits of his physical body, swept through every cell of his body! Blood instantly seeped from his seven orifices, and fine cracks began to appear on the surface of his body, like porcelain about to shatter!

"Ugh—!"

A suppressed growl, seemingly squeezed out from the depths of his soul, burst forth from Yu Changsheng's throat.

His body trembled violently, and the Guixu Sword almost slipped from his hand, only held on by an indomitable will.

The rotation of the Chaos Furnace was slightly slowed down due to the intense pain in his body.

"Immortality!" Chen Xueqing and Wang Cheng's hearts jumped into their throats, but they were tightly bound by the still surging battle spirits around them and had no way to spare them.

Life or death hangs in the balance! Cross it, and the world opens up before you! Failing to cross it means certain death, your soul scattered and your spirit vanished!
Just as his consciousness was about to be completely overwhelmed by pain and chaos, Yu Changsheng's bloodshot eyes suddenly opened!

In those eyes, the pain remained, yet a madness and obsession burned within them, capable of consuming everything!
A thirst for power! A steadfast commitment to protection! Hatred for the Abyss Clan! An unyielding spirit against this source of filth! And an indomitable will forged through the filthy abyss and the rebirth of chaos!

"Myriad Transformations... Return to Nothingness! Devour me!"

He suddenly raised his head and let out a roar that was not human! The chaotic mark on his back suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented chaotic divine light, like a supernova explosion!

Within his body, the core techniques of the "Myriad Beasts Heavenly Scripture" were operating at an unprecedented speed!

The torrent of fragmented divine consciousness that surged in was no longer passively endured, but was actively guided and forcibly drawn into the core of the chaotic vortex deep within the chaotic imprint, which symbolized "all things returning to nothingness"!

Chi Chi Chi -!
Like a red-hot iron plunged into ice water, even more intense pain surged forth. But this time, Yu Changsheng's eyes held only cold madness and absolute control! At the core of the chaotic vortex, that primordial source greedily devoured, decomposed, and transformed these pure fragments of divine consciousness. The mixed memories and will were stripped away and annihilated, leaving only the most fundamental and purest understanding of the Great Dao and boundless soul energy!
The fragmented images began to merge, and the chaotic laws began to unravel.

A deeper insight into space, a more subtle control over power, and a clearer understanding of one's own chaotic path, like sunlight breaking through the fog, gradually grew, strengthened, and became clear in the depths of Yu Changsheng's soul!
The cracks on his body began to heal at a visible speed under the surging chaotic source power, radiating a more resilient and restrained luster than before.

At the extreme edge of pain and sublimation, the breath begins to undergo a tremendous transformation!

Boom--!!!
Just as this transformation reached its peak, the filthy dark purple sky of the God Conferred Battlefield was suddenly torn apart by a terrifying lightning bolt of indescribable color!
This bolt of lightning was thicker than a mountain!
It was not the usual blue and white or purple, but rather a chaotic gray, with black arcs of electricity representing destruction and emerald green electric snakes symbolizing life leaping along its edges! Thunder pierced through the heavens and the earth, tearing apart the filthy vortex, and with supreme majesty that judged all spirits and destroyed all laws, it precisely locked onto Yu Changsheng, whose aura was undergoing a frenzied transformation and leap below!
The Void Refining Tribulation has arrived!
The terrifying destructive pressure caused all the crazed battle spirits on the battlefield to freeze for a moment, instinctively feeling a fear originating from the depths of their souls! Their chaotic roars turned into terrified whimpers, and even the filthy dark purple vortex seemed to slow down its rotation for a second!
Before the thunder even arrived, the mere wisp of its oppressive power caused the solid, ancient metal earth below to silently collapse into a massive, bowl-shaped crater! Wang Cheng and Chen Xueqing both groaned, almost unable to breathe under the immense pressure of this heavenly might, their protective spiritual light fluctuating violently!

Yu Changsheng's blood-stained robes fluttered wildly in the gale whipped up by the thunder, and his disheveled hair danced wildly.

He slowly raised his head, gazing at the chaotic lightning that tore through the sky and destroyed everything. Instead of fear, his face revealed an almost arrogant, bloodthirsty smile!
His blood-stained right hand slowly tightened its grip on the hilt of the Guixu Sword.

The sword hummed, and the primordial chaos light blazed brighter than ever before, as if it too was trembling with excitement for this ultimate leap!
The gate to the Void Refinement Realm has been opened amidst thunder.

The Refining Void Tribulation tore through the filthy sky.

Yu Changsheng stood there, his blood staining his face, the Guixu Sword pointing straight at the heavenly tribulation lightning.

Amidst the resounding clang of swords, the first bolt of chaotic lightning crashed down like a giant axe that split the heavens!
The sword light slashed in reverse, and the lightning pillar shattered like glass.

That chaotic lightning that tore through the filthy sky was no longer simply the might of heaven, but more like the ultimate judgment brought down by the will of heaven after the resentment and filth accumulated over countless ages in this ancient, fallen battlefield were ignited by the will of heaven!

It was thicker than a mountain, its grayish-brown body wrapped with jet-black electric snakes symbolizing the end and emerald arcs representing the cycle of life and death. Wherever it passed, space was silently annihilated, leaving behind charred cracks that could not be healed for a long time.

The aura of destruction solidified, heavier than stars, and crashed down!

"Well done!"

A low, guttural battle roar escaped Yu Changsheng's throat, like a dormant volcano roaring from the depths of an abyss. His blood-stained robes fluttered wildly in the gale whipped up by the thunder, his disheveled hair flying wildly, revealing a pair of eyes burning with chaotic flames.

On his back, the chaotic mark was now burning hot like a branding iron, bursting with unprecedented chaotic divine light, frantically devouring the essence of the refined battle soul fragments. Faced with this world-destroying attack, he did not retreat but advanced, shattering the rock beneath his feet, which was harder than divine iron!

His figure was like an arrow shooting against the current, charging fiercely towards the world-destroying lightning!
The Guixu Sword in his hand hummed and vibrated, and the sword energy of the Xuanhuang Chaos condensed and compressed with unprecedented brightness. On the sword body, the phantom of the Primordial Dragon Armor Beast raised its head and roared, and the chaotic Dao patterns rotated like a starry river.

Wherever the sword tip pointed, space collapsed inch by inch, forming a miniature black hole of annihilation, emanating an aura of ultimate annihilation that devours all things!
"break!"

The roar and the sword's cry merged into one, transforming into a piercing shriek that tore through the universe!

The Guixu Sword fiercely reversed its attack!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a chilling "sizzle" that seemed to freeze the soul, like a scalding knife cutting through solidified grease.

The chaotic lightning pillar, powerful enough to split stars and even cause a Void Refinement expert to change color, was split in two from the center the instant it was touched by the Returning Void Sword!
The chaotic tribulation lightning energy, condensed to its extreme, was like encountering its nemesis, and was frantically decomposed and devoured by the annihilating properties of the Guixu Sword!
Wherever the Xuanhuang Sword Qi passed, the gray lightning shattered and disintegrated like fragile glass, turning into countless tiny gray-white arcs of electricity, like lifeless fireflies, which were greedily absorbed by the Guixu Sword and became nourishment for the sword's body.

One sword strike! Just one sword strike!
The first wave of chaotic heavenly lightning has been annihilated!

Yu Changsheng held his sword in mid-air, the Guixu sword body shimmering with a mysterious yellow light. Not only was it not damaged, but because it absorbed the pure power of the chaotic tribulation lightning, the annihilating dark light emanating from the sword's edge became even more profound and restrained. A sharp aura that could cause all things to wither spread out, as if it would even tear apart this filthy and solidified space.

Below, Wang Cheng and Chen Xueqing watched, their hearts pounding, almost suffocating. The brilliance of that sword strike transcended the realm of technique and magic, carrying a "Dao" that seemed to sever destiny and cleave through chaos!

"Good!" Wang Cheng slammed his fist on the ground, his blood boiling, wishing he could rush up and shatter a few bolts of lightning himself.

Chen Xueqing clutched the Life Gem tightly, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wonder, but mostly filled with worry. This was just the beginning.

Rumble——!
The heavens seemed to be thoroughly enraged by Yu Changsheng's sword strike. The enormous vortex of filth spun wildly, and the dark purple currents, like the tentacles of a dying beast, emitted a piercing shriek.

At the center of the vortex, the deep black eye of the calamity suddenly contracted, and then a blinding light burst forth!

No longer a single pillar of lightning, but nine!

Nine dark golden bolts of lightning, like nine ancient thunder dragons that had been thoroughly enraged, tore through the filthy clouds, carrying terrifyingly high temperatures that could burn away souls and melt laws, and with profound trajectories, sealed off all of Yu Changsheng's escape space in all directions, and then crashed down!

Where the lightning struck, the space was burned and distorted, leaving behind glass-like marks and a burnt smell.

The second tribulation lightning—Nine Heavens Burning God Flame Lightning! Its power far surpasses that of the first tribulation!
Yu Changsheng's pupils suddenly contracted. No matter how sharp the Guixu Sword was, it could not extinguish the nine Divine Burning Lightning bolts that locked onto the soul at the same time!

"Formation!"

A low shout pierced through the thunderous roar.

With a thought, the six chaotic beasts surrounding him roared in unison, their sound waves shattering the dust for miles around!

The Chaos Golden Roc spread its wings angrily, its endless sharp golden energy tearing through thunder and fire;
A chaotic fiery dragon coiled up, its blazing flames transforming into a protective furnace;
The colorful deer scatters emerald starlight, and the barriers of life are layered upon layer;

The Eternal Night Evil Beast summons the night, devouring and weakening the lightning;

The Purple Spirit Emperor Sword hummed and trembled, its sharp sword energy cutting through the trajectory of the thunder dragon.
The Chaos Tortoise, having completed its transformation, shattered the void with its four legs, drawing upon the power of the vast primordial land to transform into a colossal, dark yellow shield covering the sky, which stood above Yu Changsheng's head!
The power of the six beasts, under the command of the Chaos Mark, instantly merged and converged!
boom!
A massive, heavy Chaos Furnace Dharma Image, flowing with six-colored chaotic runes and burning with the dark light of the Void, suddenly took shape above Yu Changsheng's head!

The core of the Dharma Image is a projection of the Chaos Imprint, slowly rotating and emitting a terrifying aura that causes all laws to return to their origin!
Nine divine lightning dragons crashed fiercely into the furnace-shaped Dharma image!
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump...!
A series of dull, heart-stopping thuds resounded!
Like a divine hammer striking a heavenly drum!

The Chaos Furnace Dharma Form trembled violently, the six-colored runes flickered wildly, and the dark light of the Void at the edge was torn open by the violent lightning and fire!

The terrifying shockwave swept across the area like a cataclysmic tsunami!

The nearby floating temple ruins were like building blocks being slammed by an invisible giant hand, exploding into dust everywhere!
"Ugh!"

Below, Wang Cheng roared, unleashing his bronze-colored, domineering golden body to its fullest potential, his muscles bulging like dragons, his arms crossed to firmly block Chen Xueqing.

The dark golden protective aura was like a candle flickering in the wind under the shockwave, fluctuating violently and groaning under the strain. His feet sank deep into the ground, carving two deep furrows, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, but he did not retreat an inch!

Chen Xueqing's face turned deathly pale. The Life Gem hung above her head, its emerald light forming a resilient protective barrier. At the same time, countless green vines burst forth from the ground, like the most flexible anchor cables, tightly binding Wang Cheng's waist and legs, sharing the immense and unstoppable impact with him.

Life runes flowed on the vines, constantly repairing the minor cracks that had been shattered in Wang Cheng's body.

Inside the furnace, the chaotic source power and the divine lightning and fire were frantically clashing, annihilating, and devouring each other! Every collision was like a star exploding.

Yu Changsheng was at the core, as if he were in the very center of a furnace of heaven and earth. His body trembled violently, and chaotic energy flowed out of his seven orifices again. The newly formed chaotic spiritual veins brought him tearing pain.

"All things return to nothingness... Refine!"

His eyes were bloodshot, and he let out an indomitable roar! The chaotic mark on his back was like an overloaded core, pouring the vast soul energy obtained from refining the fragments of the battle soul into the furnace dharma form without regard to cost!

The furnace's rotation speed suddenly increased several times, and the core power of the Void was completely detonated!
