What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?.

Chapter 841 Leader, stop resisting, we're scared (Thanks to the guild leader "Slacking Off and Doing Nothing True Lord")

With another step, Zhang Yu had already arrived within a 300-meter radius of the Forge Furnace.

At this moment, all Zhang Yu could see were layers upon layers of blazing flames.

Under the intense heat of the burning furnace, the surrounding earth, rock layers, air... all seemed to turn into magnificent clouds and mist. As the power of the Forge was constantly stirred, surging, and exploding, it was like a storm at sea formed by liquid flames.

Zhang Yu knew that this magical flame constantly condensed and burned various substances, eventually transforming into an ultra-high temperature material flow... which was classified as one of the 36 Heavenly Qi in Kunxu and called Shangyang Qi.

In his own view, this thing was like plasma on Earth, but it was different because it contained the immortal elements of Kunxu.

Within a 300-meter radius of the Forging Furnace, the surrounding area was completely enveloped by layers upon layers of yang energy.

Everything caught in it, whether ordinary rock formations, magical artifacts, or equipment, will become part of the yang energy under the extreme burning of the magical flames.

Zhang Yu knew that if it weren't for the binding force field-like array that came with the Forging Furnace, which tightly bound the Yang Qi within this 300-meter range and prevented it from spreading out... the resulting earthquakes, volcanoes, and natural disasters would probably have been enough to sweep across the entire small world.

At this moment, when Zhang Yu personally stepped into this 300-meter range, he felt his flesh and blood rapidly disintegrating, as if he would be transformed into a part of the upper yang energy in the next moment.

But faced with this destruction, Zhang Yu's flesh and blood, his supernatural powers, and his various abilities quickly responded...

Meanwhile, Tu Mu and the others were diligently observing Zhang Yu's condition.

Under the joint observation of these more than ten Nascent Soul cultivators, all kinds of cultivation techniques, magical artifacts, and magical treasures were displayed.

Through the spirit world, they combined all the data they could detect, displayed, summarized, calculated, and then repeatedly calibrated it...

After repeatedly adjusting their teamwork, they finally stabilized and accurately obtained data once Zhang Yu entered the range of the Upper Yang Qi.

"Based on various thermal reactions, Zhang Yu's body surface temperature has reached 5000 million degrees, and the integrity of his physical body and blood is about 68%."

"Judging from the mana radiation index, he still has about 11 mana."

"He continued to penetrate deeper into the upper yang energy region, his body surface temperature rose rapidly, and the integrity of his qi and blood declined rapidly."

"5000 million degrees... 5500 million degrees... 6000 million degrees!"

At the same time, as Tu Mu watched Zhang Yu's physical condition steadily decline, he also unconsciously felt a sense of tension.

"The integrity of the body's Qi and blood is 50%...41%...34%...32% etc., and the decline is slowing down?! His resistance to the Yang Qi is constantly increasing."

Because the initial and ultimate effects of the Earth and Wood Sacred Body Chain Diagram have no realm restrictions, it is still useful even at the Nascent Soul stage.

Under the effect of 100% Earth and Wood Sacred Body, the more Zhang Yu's physical body is damaged, the more its resistance to earthquakes, poisons, noise, pressure, radiation, pollution, high temperatures, impacts, slashing, and punctures is strengthened.

The ultimate effect of the Earth and Wood Sacred Body is that the more severe Zhang Yu's injuries, the stronger the aforementioned abilities become, achieving the effect of becoming more immortal the more he dies.

In addition, his physical supernatural power, the Formless Free Body, grants him a significant boost in resistance when facing similar attacks within a short period.

Previously, on Zhang Yu's journey, the Formless Free Body had continuously increased his resistance to magical flames. Now, as he crashed into the Yang Qi, the Formless Free Body reacted violently.

It can be said that from this moment on, Zhang Yu's body experienced a tremendous surge in resistance under the impact of the Yang energy.

This caused his physical condition to decline at a slower and slower rate.

Director Zhao of the Earth Bureau exclaimed in amazement, "To actually resist the Yang energy head-on for so long with a Nascent Soul body? Is this the power of the immortal inheritance? At this rate, Vice President Zhang should be able to stand inside for a few more minutes without any problem."

However, if he only does this, he might be exhausted to death by the endless yang energy in front of him.

Tu Mu and others who are currently conducting observations have also made a similar judgment.

But soon... as the data on Zhang Yu continued to change, Tu Mu and Director Zheng realized they were wrong, terribly wrong.

"Body surface temperature exceeded 8000 million degrees."

Tu Mu exclaimed in surprise, "Qi and blood integrity 25%... 26%... 27%? Vice President Zhang's physical body is recovering!"

Although the process was somewhat slow, after repeatedly calibrating the data, everyone was able to confirm that... Zhang Yu's physical body was being reborn! Under the impact of 8000 million degrees of Yang energy... he began to heal himself!

At this very moment, an extremely violent reaction was taking place within Zhang Yu's body.

When Zhang Yu's Feather Spirit Root reaches level 4, he will be able to absorb a portion of the attack's power to heal his injuries.

Now that Yu Zhen's spiritual root has merged, the absorption rate has skyrocketed to 50%. Nearly half of the incoming Yang energy has been directly absorbed by him and transformed into a life-giving power, accelerating the recovery of his injuries.

At the same time, the level 50 Crippled Ox Body and Mind Technique was also running wildly, making Zhang Yu's flesh and blood seem to have its own will, writhing and regenerating wildly, healing wounds and growing back pieces of evaporated flesh and blood.

The level 50 "Blood Tide Essence Holy View" was also activated, turning the various key parts and vital points in his body into flames, further enhancing his resistance and regeneration capabilities.

However, maintaining all of this requires the circulation of magical power, relying on Zhang Yu's magical power for support.

Thus, according to the observations of Tu Mu and others, Zhang Yu's physical body and blood integrity continued to rise, while his magical power began to decline.

"Based on the changes in the magic radiation index, Vice President Zhang's magic power has rapidly dropped from 11 to 5."

"The vice president should be out soon, everyone get ready to meet him."

But the next moment, as everyone observed, they saw that Zhang Yu's magical power also increased.

"My mana has recovered to 15?"

"The integrity of Qi and blood has dropped again!"

At the same time, Zhang Yu used the chain magic effect of [Qi Meridian Flow] to convert a large amount of blood and qi in his body into magic power in one go.

As Zhang Yu's Qi and blood declined, his resistance surged again, and his regeneration speed and efficiency also increased.

So after his physical body recovered to a certain extent, Zhang Yu once again converted a large amount of blood and energy into magical power.

Then, as observed by Tu Mu and other Nascent Soul cultivators, Zhang Yu's numerical values ​​fluctuated constantly.

It can be said that apart from his body surface temperature constantly rising and directly breaking through 100 million degrees, his magical power and physical body data are constantly fluctuating.

Some people exclaimed in amazement, "How is this possible? The physical body is constantly recovering at a high speed, and the magical power is also constantly recovering at a high speed?"

Director Zhao of the Land Administration Bureau is one of the most powerful Nascent Soul cultivators present. In terms of assets, magical treasures, and magical remains, he is among the top in the field.

Director Zhao analyzed, "Vice President Zhang's physical strength seems to be able to continuously increase as his physical condition declines."

"In addition, he also possesses extremely strong regenerative abilities, and may also have some ability to convert flesh and blood into magic power."

"The convergence of these three elements allows him to withstand the onslaught of Yang energy head-on when facing the Forging Furnace of Void Refinement. The more his physical body is damaged, the stronger it becomes, even increasing its regeneration efficiency. He can even use the regenerated flesh and blood to restore his magical power..."

Upon hearing this, the way the Nascent Soul cultivators around Zhang Yu looked at him changed.

The more you fight, the tougher it gets; it automatically regenerates health, and the extra health even restores mana? How much did this cost? How many resources were used to create this rogue... no, this is a top-tier power combination?
Tu Mu, standing to the side, added, "Not only that, haven't you noticed that Vice President Zhang hasn't regressed even a step so far?"

Everyone was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then quickly reviewed everything that had just happened in their minds, and found that it was indeed the case.

Tu Mu analyzed, "Logically speaking, even if Vice President Zhang can withstand the impact of the Forging Furnace, the power of the constantly exploding and sweeping Yang Qi is something that Vice President Zhang should not be able to match."

Everyone nodded in agreement. If Zhang Yu could contend with the World Forging Furnace, which was at the Void Refinement level, in terms of strength, that would be too outrageous.

Tu Mu continued his analysis: "Therefore, he must still have some kind of ability that allows him to remain unmoved and not retreat an inch when facing the impact of the Void Refinement level."

While the Nascent Soul cultivators present were amazed and surprised by Zhang Yu's display of such power, they quickly accepted it after a moment's thought.

Director Zhao of the Land Administration Bureau thought with envy, "After all, it is a legacy from an immortal. It hasn't been long... and it has already grown to this level."

Tu Mu, standing to the side, also sighed inwardly, "How magnificent is the legacy of the immortals!"

In his view, Zhang Yu's performance was undoubtedly due to the inheritance from immortals. Otherwise, how could it be that Zhang Yu had cultivated his skills step by step from the first level of Kunxu? Let alone fantasy stories.

Under the watchful eyes of numerous Nascent Soul cultivators, Zhang Yu gradually approached the World Forging Furnace.

At this moment, his entire body was tattered and broken. His flesh and blood, under the wash of the Yang energy, were constantly turning into scorching high-temperature particles... gushing out from his body like a star that was constantly shining.

The next moment, he suddenly stretched out his hands and grabbed the Forge in front of him.

As Zhang Yu made these moves, the Forging Furnace in front of him seemed to be stimulated again. The force field, which had originally spread to 300 meters, suddenly contracted, and countless streams of Yang energy converged towards Zhang Yu.

In the observation of the Nascent Soul cultivators, Zhang Yu's physical body and blood integrity, which had been hovering around 20% just moments before, suddenly dropped to 8%, making him appear as a faint humanoid figure, like a wisp of smoke about to dissipate in the next moment.

Just as Tu Mu and the others were wondering if Zhang Yu was in danger, seriously injured, or even unconscious... they finally received a message from Zhang Yu.

Vice President Zhang: Forge Furnace has now set its sights on me. Come and join me in suppressing it.

Although Zhang Yu could withstand the damage from the Forge head-on, it was clear that he alone was not enough to suppress the corpse in front of him.

His initiative in charging forward and single-handedly blocking the Forging Furnace gave many Nascent Soul cultivators confidence and gave them a glimmer of hope in suppressing the Void Refining Corpse.

Beams of divine light shot out as numerous Nascent Soul cultivators launched their attacks, pressing down on the location of the World-Forging Furnace.

Zhang Yu cautioned, "Don't use too much destructive power. We need to suppress it, not destroy its core. Our main goal is to cool it down!"

Spurred on by the numerous Nascent Soul cultivators, the Forging Furnace roared, unleashing a torrent of earth-shattering Yang energy that swept fiercely towards all the surrounding cultivators.

Just as many Nascent Soul cultivators were trying to dodge or retreat, Zhang Yu clasped his hands together and let out a loud shout.

The next moment, space suddenly distorted, darkness flashed by, and the fierce Yang energy had all gathered in front of Zhang Yu and poured into his body.

If Zhang Yu had been hit with such a fierce attack right from the start, he would probably have been completely vaporized on the spot.

But at this moment, as Zhang Yu walked step by step to the Forge of the World, after a series of enhancements and strengthenings, such an attack could no longer kill him.

With only 5% of your Qi and Blood remaining, the closer you get to death, the less likely you are to die!

As the flesh and blood continued to evaporate, Zhang Yu simply said, "Continue."

"Don't be afraid. I will take the brunt of the Forging Furnace's attacks. You just need to do your best to suppress it." At the same time, within a radius of a thousand meters from Zhang Yu, some of the cave heavens manifested. Within the cave heavens, nearly ten berserk corpses at the Nascent Soul level attacked simultaneously, each unleashing bursts of power that suppressed the Forging Furnace from a distance.

The many Nascent Soul cultivators who heard Zhang Yu's words were all shaken.

"The leader... shielded his subordinate from injury?"

Whether it was Tu Mu or Director Zhao of the Land Administration Bureau, the Nascent Soul cultivators present were all filled with disbelief at this scene, far more astonished than when they saw Zhang Yu withstand the damage from the World Forging Furnace alone.

After all, it is rare for a Nascent Soul cultivator to resist a Void Refining Corpse like the Forging Furnace, but it is not entirely unimaginable.

Immortal inheritance like Zhang Yu's, or certain powerful magical artifacts or magical remains, can help them achieve this.

But the way Zhang Yu was constantly taking damage for them was really frightening to them.

"How could that be? How could a leader take the blame himself?"

Some people wondered, "Could it be that the attack from the Forge... would be beneficial to us?"

No one thought that Vice President Zhang was making a proactive contribution; everyone was thinking about the benefits of Zhang Yu's actions.

Soon enough, a Nascent Soul cultivator deliberately tried to catch a wisp of Yang energy to see if there was any profit to be made, which made Zhang Yu laugh in anger.

Seeing that there was no benefit to the Yang Qi, some people began to suspect that there was some kind of trap involved, and wondered if Zhang Yu would try to trick them.

The more Zhang Yu took the initiative to take damage, the more afraid they became, fearing that Zhang Yu would betray them. It was as if they were saying: "Leader, please stop taking damage, we are scared."

After all, what was happening before their eyes was too abnormal, so abnormal that it was difficult for many Nascent Soul cultivators to understand.

But as the Yang energy surged again and again, and Zhang Yu took on all the damage, his recovery rate kept decreasing, and the amount of mana he recovered kept decreasing, and his condition kept falling to rock bottom, and Zhang Yu still refused to back down, a sense of understanding gradually flashed in everyone's eyes.

"Vice President Zhang has gone mad."

Tu Mu thought to himself, "The Forging Furnace can burn away the soul and cause one's Dao heart to regress. I think Vice President Zhang's mind has been clouded by the flames of the Dharma, and he has lost his mind!"

Regardless of their inner thoughts, after Zhang Yu took the initiative to block all the damage from the Forging Furnace, the many Nascent Soul cultivators felt free to unleash their various Daoist techniques and martial arts.

Under the suppression of more than ten Nascent Soul cultivators and nearly ten Nascent Soul corpses, the flames of the Forging Furnace, which had been burning fiercely, gradually dimmed.

Meanwhile, the one who had been staying in the Immortal Cave Heaven, observing and continuously assisting in maintaining the magnetic poles and Yin Spring of the Nascent Soul corpse, also breathed a slight sigh of relief: "It should be fine now."

An hour later, the flames of the Forge dimmed further, and everyone could see its structure clearly.

Tu Mu and the other Nascent Soul cultivators relaxed, feeling that they would soon be able to completely suppress the Refined Ruins Corpse.

But just when everyone thought the plan to capture the refining corpse parts was about to be completed, a divine light flashed across the sky.

Although the spatial structure of the labyrinth has not been fully restored, under Zhang Yu's control, the connection to the spirit world has been restored as a whole.

This is also why so many righteous gods were able to descend directly to the scene back then.

At this very moment, Xie Lanyin, the vice president of the management committee, a sixth-level sect affairs officer, and a cultivator at the Refining Void realm, crossed the spirit realm and descended with her projection.

When Xie Lanyin's projection landed on the battlefield, a terrifying aura erupted from the projection's body.

The numerous cultivators present were like frightened cats, their magical energy swirling wildly as they all focused their attention on the direction from which the terrifying aura emanated.

Xie Lanyin's projection stepped out one by one, and strands of primordial spirit power gathered at his fingertips.

Seeing this, Tu Mu was shocked: "Vice President Xie... sent down a Nascent Soul level power?"

Tu Mu understood that the Yuan Shen Jing would undergo a qualitative change after passing through layers of divine light and ten transformations.

When the divine light undergoes five transformations, the primordial spirit can enter the spirit realm and use it for instantaneous teleportation.

After the Nine Transformations of Divine Light, the primordial spirit can even directly transmit its power remotely through the spirit realm.

At this very moment, Xie Lanyin was doing just that. Although her true form was unable to descend, she used the power of a Nascent Soul at the Refinement level from the Spirit Realm.

Looking at Xie Lanyin's projection, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This guy... would rather put aside his own affairs and reduce his own gains than harm others and himself by messing with me?"

“This is not the mentality of a normal Kunxu person. There must be someone behind her instructing her to do this.”

Zhang Yu knew that the current internal struggle within the management committee was essentially a power struggle at a higher level.

And he was not unprepared for this.

The next instant, everyone heard Xie Lanyin smile slightly, and the message she sent had already appeared in everyone's spiritual realm vision.

“Vice President Zhang, I heard that you are seriously injured and your life is in danger, so I specially set aside my assets and sent down a force to help you.”

"You're welcome."

In everyone's eyes, Zhang Yu at this moment looked like a blazing, burning humanoid blood mist. Under the wash of the Shangyang Qi, he was almost unrecognizable. Apart from his incredibly determined, piercing eyes, he showed no signs of life.

If it weren't for the many cultivators who had just witnessed him fighting so energetically, they would have thought he was already on the verge of death.

The next moment, everyone saw Xie Lanyin's projection pointing towards the Forge Furnace.

Although this finger strike lacked the ferocity of the Forging Furnace, the destructive aura it contained was even more terrifying to the cultivators present.

Although the power Xie Lanyin unleashed was far less than the peak state of the Forging Furnace in terms of quantity, under the exquisite operation of Xie Lanyin's cultivation technique, the destructive power of this primordial spirit power was probably more than ten times stronger than that of the Forging Furnace.

This is the difference between a corpse with the power of Void Refinement and a true Void Refinement cultivator.

The combined power of all those Nascent Soul cultivators who had just fought so hard probably couldn't match the destructive force of this finger strike.

The Forge, which had already dimmed, seemed to tremble violently under this finger, erupting with a living being's most primal and instinctive fear of death.

As the fingertip approached, fine cracks appeared on the surface of the Forge, as if it were about to collapse into pieces at any moment.

Seeing this scene, Tu Mu thought to himself, "This is the Void Refinement...this is the true power of the Void Refinement."

In everyone's perception, the entire Forge would be severely damaged by Sheryl's finger strike from a distance, thus destroying its main structure and rendering it scrap.

If calculated by value, it would go from being a second-hand item to scrap, with its price dropping by more than a hundred times.

Zhang Yu's gaze sharpened. In his view, Xie Lanyin's attack not only devalued the Forge, but also affected his subsequent plans.

"Did they realize I could control the corpses, so they came specifically to stop me?"

"And the timing was so perfect... Did someone tip you off?"

On the other side, Tu Mu sighed inwardly: "Vice President Xie's attack has devalued the work we've just done by a hundredfold."

But faced with such losses, is there anyone on the scene who can stop it?

When a Nascent Soul cultivator faces a Void Refinement cultivator, the difference of just one realm is like heaven and earth, and naturally, no one can stop them.

No one could stop it, and no one dared to stop it. Just when many Nascent Soul cultivators thought that the World Forging Furnace was about to be destroyed by Xie Lanyin's attack, the light and shadow before their eyes suddenly changed.

The spiritual connection that originally covered the experimental area was abruptly severed.

Just as everyone realized this and was shocked, Zhang Yu suddenly shouted, "Vice President Xie used the Spirit Realm to launch an attack, causing the already unstable Spirit Realm in the Maze to disconnect."

"Don't panic, I'll stop Vice Minister Xie's out-of-control power."

After losing the connection to the spirit world, Sherain's projection suddenly disappeared.

Only the force descending from the spirit realm continues to bombard the Forge.

Zhang Yu clapped his hands together, and the spatial structure in front of him suddenly twisted, pulling the force of Xie Lanyin's finger towards him.

If Xie Lanyin were here, she would naturally not allow Zhang Yu to pull her attack like this.

Without Xie Lanyin's command, it was like a cannonball, offering no response to Zhang Yu's pulling.

Then, the grotto-heavens around Zhang Yu manifested, and he dragged this power into the immortal grotto-heaven.

boom!
The first clone crashed into it, only to be instantly obliterated by the force of the finger strike.

Then came the second, third, and fourth rounds...

As more than a dozen clones were destroyed one by one, when Zhang Yu returned to the material world, most of the power of Xie Lanyin's finger strike had been consumed.

To everyone's astonishment, Zhang Yu unleashed a punch, which, accompanied by a deafening roar, actually shattered the force of the attack.

To be precise, it should be said that Zhang Yu completely exhausted the last remaining power of Xie Lanyin's attack, but from a visual perspective, it looked like he shattered the attack.

Zhang Yu turned to look at everyone and asked, "Was the battle between Vice President Xie and me recorded?"

In the past, he also had to hide the secrets behind his sudden surge in combat power.

But now Zhang Yu has the foundation of an immortal's inheritance and the backing of an immortal vein, so he no longer needs to hide as he did in the past.

Especially now that he has become the vice president of the management committee at the Nascent Soul stage, he needs to demonstrate his extraordinary abilities in order to maximize his power and influence.

Seeing everyone nod, Zhang Yu said calmly, "Continue to suppress the Forging Furnace."

This time, no one dared to hesitate. All the Nascent Soul cultivators suddenly erupted and, under Zhang Yu's command, attacked with all their might.

After more than ten minutes, the Forging Furnace was finally completely suppressed and sent into the Immortal Cave.
