To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

The Guiyuan Furnace, carrying the Samadhi True Fire, resembled the sun falling.

Li Mohan snorted coldly, neither dodging nor avoiding.

Strange black runes crawled up his cheeks, shimmering with an eerie gray light. With a wave of his hand, a jet-black blade of light flew out from the edge of his palm and crashed into the Returning Origin Furnace.

With a "bang," sparks flew everywhere.

The clang of metal clashing rang out, the light blade shattered, and the Returning Origin Furnace flew back.

Gu Fan frowned upon seeing this.

The bright white slash mark was left at the point where the remaining light from the Returning Origin Furnace collided with the blade.

He knew the strength of the Guiyuan Furnace perfectly well; both Dragon Pattern Gold and Blazing Star Copper were materials that could be used to forge magical artifacts!

Although Li Mohan was in the late Foundation Establishment stage, Gu Fan had seen other late Foundation Establishment stage cultivators before.

He had not only seen them, but had also killed two of them with his own hands. He was not completely unaware of the attack strength of the late Foundation Establishment stage. Li Mohan's current combat power far exceeded Gu Fan's understanding of the late Foundation Establishment stage.

"What exactly is that black sphere? How did it suddenly become so strong?"

Gu Fan asked Chang Yuan in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"That is the Primordial Chaos Embryo."

Chang Yuan's voice carried a rare hint of solemnity, as well as a hint of anticipation that Gu Fan couldn't quite ascertain.

"The Primordial Chaos Embryo?" Gu Fan had never heard of this term before.

"It's normal that you don't know, after all, this method belongs to the lineage of the [Primordial Demon Lord]." After saying that, Chang Yuan asked in return, "Do you know how cultivation realms are divided?"

"Who doesn't know that!" Gu Fan replied.

After Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment comes Core Formation, followed by the three realms of Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, and Void Refinement.

"However, cultivation realms are not all isolated," Chang Yuan explained. "Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core are also known as the Lower Three Realms, while Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, and Void Refining are known as the Middle Three Realms."

"The cultivation methods derived from different lineages are varied and strange, but the basic ideas are the same when it comes to Qi cultivation and foundation building, which are nothing more than gathering and refining Qi."

"However, the Golden Core realm, as a transitional realm, is also a watershed for the differences between various schools of thought."

"For example, you and I belong to the lineage of the Dao Ancestor of Creation. During the Golden Core stage, we need to use the essence of heaven and earth to refine our Golden Core. The number of refinements is divided into one to nine cycles. Each cycle opens one aperture in the Golden Core. Each time an aperture is opened, the probability of breaking the Golden Core into an Infant increases."

Gu Fan had already learned about the cultivation method of the Golden Core in the Chenxing Pavilion. He also knew that opening the Golden Core was extremely dangerous, and the slightest carelessness could damage the Golden Core, thus severing his path to enlightenment.

"Could it be that other lineages don't practice this way?" Gu Fan asked curiously.

Chang Yuan chuckled twice: "The basic cultivation paths are largely the same, but there are also many unique secret methods of different lineages, such as the Primordial Chaos Embryo."

"Practicing this method means that during the Core Formation stage, one no longer uses the essence of heaven and earth to refine the golden core, but instead devours the blood and qi of all living beings, regardless of their spiritual root attributes or whether the blood and qi come from cultivators or demon beasts."

"The strange and varied blood energies converge, collide, and fuse together, eventually refining the golden core into a chaotic embryo, within which a chaotic beast is conceived. When the chaotic beast breaks out of the embryo, it is equivalent to the core shattering and the infant being formed."

"The characteristic of this method is that the more chaotic and disordered the gathered blood energy is, the stronger the beast it will give birth to."

"Just as refining the Golden Core is extremely dangerous, gathering such chaotic blood energy into the body is even more dangerous. Many demonic cultivators have died from their bodies exploding because of this. It would be good if one out of a hundred Golden Cores could give birth to a Chaos Beast."

"Moreover, by devouring the blood and essence of all living beings, one is bound to make countless enemies. Who knows when one might seek revenge and kill him? Otherwise, why would the person in that bronze coffin have come to the State of Wei to hide?"

"The success rate is too low!" Gu Fan exclaimed in shock.

Although refining the golden elixir with the essence of heaven and earth is a perilous process with a slim chance of survival, there is still a chance of survival!

Chang Yuan snorted coldly and retorted, "Although cultivation is extremely difficult, there are no weak beasts born from the Primordial Chaos Embryo. For cultivators of the [Primordial Demon Lord] lineage, this is the ladder to heaven."

"The demonic cultivator in the bronze coffin must have died before he could hatch the Chaos Embryo. The Chaos Embryo lost its activity and turned into a dead egg. If it had been any longer, it might have been reduced to ashes."

"That little demon brat was gathering life force, we thought it was to break through his cultivation realm, but we never imagined it was to revive this primordial chaos embryo!"

"Now that he has incorporated the Chaos Primordial Embryo into his body, it is equivalent to inserting a Golden Core into his body. Although he cannot fully exert the power of the Golden Core due to his Foundation Establishment stage body, he can still be called the strongest below the Golden Core level."

"With just a few of you, I'm afraid you can't take him down!"

Gu Fan and Chang Yuan communicated through their divine senses, but only a moment passed in the outside world.

After Li Mohan repelled the Guiyuan Furnace, Chen Suzhen rode the Blood Whale and leaped into the air, only to fall as if Mount Tai were crashing down upon her.

Li Fengyi's figure flashed several times and appeared in mid-air, her spear flying straight at Li Mohan's heart.

As Liu Daoyuan's talisman reached its crucial moment of power accumulation, Liu Daosheng rode a dark dragon to guard him.

"You're courting death!" Li Mohan roared, and a layer of demonic flames suddenly ignited on his body.

The next instant, the demonic flames transformed into a giant unicorn beetle and crashed into the blood whale that Chen Suzhen was riding.

"You're courting death!" Li Mohan roared, and a layer of demonic flames suddenly ignited on his body.

The next instant, the demonic flames transformed into a giant unicorn beetle and crashed into the blood whale that Chen Suzhen was riding.

At the same time, he flicked his right hand, and the demonic flames transformed into chains that locked Li Fengyi's spear, with the spear tip less than a foot from her heart.

The Demon Flame Beetle's horn, like a sharp blade, pierced through the Blood Whale, which collapsed with a roar, turning into a torrential downpour from the sky.

Chen Suzhen's magic was broken, and she spat out a mouthful of blood as a result of the backlash.

The Demon Flame Beetle, still brimming with power, pierced Chen Suzhen's abdomen with its horn, dragging her for several feet before dissipating and disappearing.

Li Fengyi stared intently at the tip of the spear, clenching her teeth and straining her arms, hoping to severely injure Li Mohan in one fell swoop.

But the demonic flames on Li Mohan's left hand transformed into a long whip, which suddenly lashed down from mid-air.

Li Fengyi cried out in pain as half of her shoulder collapsed, and she fell from mid-air, her spear breaking in two.

If she hadn't been a body cultivator, this blow would have been enough to shatter her physical body!

After defeating two people in succession, Li Mohan let out a wild laugh and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

"Watch out!" Gu Fan shouted to the Liu brothers after his divine sense caught sight of Li Mohan.

"Pfft!"

Liu Daosheng was slightly stunned, then felt an excruciating pain in his chest. Looking down, he saw a large hand with dark patterns piercing through his chest, and a beating heart was held in its palm!

"Brother!" Liu Daoyuan's eyes were bloodshot.

The talisman was finally activated, and a white tiger roared to the sky, riding the gale straight at Li Mohan.

Li Mohan dodged and retreated, thinking he could avoid the White Tiger, but unexpectedly the White Tiger also changed direction and caught up in a few steps.

Li Mohan's pupils contracted, and he quickly erected a demonic flame shield in front of him.

The white tiger pounced on the demonic flame shield, causing a violent explosion. Black flames scattered and a cloud of smoke rose up.

When the smoke cleared, the protective shield in front of Li Mohan disappeared, and a deep claw mark that revealed bone spread from his left shoulder to his abdomen, with blood gushing out.

Fu Bao's attack was actually blocked!

"How dare you hurt me!" Li Mohan looked down at his wound and instantly flew into a rage.

A demonic flame transformed into a sharp claw and slashed towards Liu Daoyuan.

The claws flew extremely fast, and Liu Daoyuan, having expended a great deal of magical power to activate the talisman, was unable to react in time.

Just then, a beam of light descended from the sky and blocked Liu Daoyuan's path, revealing Gu Fan's figure.

The white jade ring activated a light shield that collided with the sharp claws. After a brief stalemate, it rang out several crisp sounds and then shattered into jade fragments with a snap.

Taking this opportunity, Gu Fan opened his Heavenly Fire Bath Robe again, using the powerful flames to neutralize the remaining demonic claws, and then grabbed Liu Daoyuan and quickly retreated.

In just one round of fighting, of the five mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators, one was dead and two were injured!

"Since you know about the Primordial Chaos Embryo, do you know how to deal with this fiend?"

In his mind's eye, Gu Fan sought help from Chang Yuan.

Chang Yuan chuckled: "Of course I know, but you must agree to one condition!"
