Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

"You...you...who are you?!"

When he saw that face clearly, Si Yue was startled and couldn't help but exclaim.

The Primordial Heavenly Flame he had once visited had taken the form of an elderly man, but the form he saw now was that of a woman with an extremely cold expression, looking down at them as if they were ants.

"I am it..."

"In the primordial era, there was no distinction between Yin and Yang; I possess countless appearances."

The attitude of the Primordial Heavenly Fire was not as frenzied as one might expect; on the contrary, it maintained a high degree of rationality.

It asked directly:

"What do you humans seek here?"

"We earnestly request your help, senior, to refine our magical artifacts. The world is on the verge of collapse, and we need your assistance."

"Is he the one wielding the weapon?"

The Primordial Heavenly Flame's gaze fell upon Jiang Mo. Even at their first meeting, it noticed something unusual: this human's cultivation level was on a completely different level from the other three humans; he was incredibly powerful.

“Yes, it’s me,” Jiang Mo replied.

"Where is the weapon?" The face submerged in the sea of ​​fire spoke again.

"this."

"call out--!"

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Mo sent out the Folding Immortal Sword and the Human Desire Pendant.

"........."

Sensing the unfathomable aura, the Primordial Heavenly Fire was moved; it hadn't expected that the human before it possessed such a terrifying magical artifact.

It quickly agreed.

“I can help you, provided that you cut these chains that imprison me. Come forward now.”

Upon hearing this, the three members of the Divine Forging Sect reacted differently, with Si Yue being the first to express his opinion:

"Senior, if you help us successfully forge this weapon, I will surely help you find liberation..."

"You have no right to speak here."

A cold rebuke rang out as the ancient creature interrupted the old man's words. Its eyes were icy, carrying an undeniable force.

“…” Si Yue’s face stiffened, he moved his lips, but in the end he didn’t say anything.

"What do you think of this condition, human?" Primordial Heavenly Fire asked Jiang Mo again.

"You've been so disrespectful to my weaponsmith, and now you're asking me what I've thought? Don't you find that ridiculous?"

Jiang Mo smiled faintly, having no patience to play tricks on it, and no interest in taking its bait, so he took the initiative to expose its disguise.

"Those seven chains have all shattered, how long are you going to keep showing weakness?"

"what?!"

Xu Yi and Gai Yuan were both shocked. Si Yue acted swiftly and quickly activated the wooden plank. The lava surface in the sky closed up again at a speed visible to the naked eye to prevent the outbreak of a great battle from affecting the surface.

"As expected of the one who wields the weapon, you can see through my strengths and weaknesses, but that's all there is to it."

"Boom!"

"boom!!"

As soon as the words fell, the seven stone pillars of the altar suddenly shattered, and white flames raged, coalescing into a slender figure. A being clad in a flame-colored Taoist robe stepped out.

He was born with a cold and beautiful appearance, with skin as white as snow, an ancient phoenix mark between his brows, and eyes that were extremely cold and filled with killing intent.

"Human, leave these two magical artifacts behind. You may leave on your own. I will not harm you."

"And those parasites next to you, I won't even deal with them, get out of here."

The Ancient Heavenly Fire spoke with hostility, its meaning clear: it intended to seize the two innate magical artifacts.

Si Yue and Gai Yuan were on high alert, but Xu Yi remained calm and composed, his face ashen, and he loudly rebuked them:

"Nonsense! Do you know what you're saying? I'll still call you senior for now, but this is your last chance. Do you even know who's standing in front of you?!"

"If you cooperate with him in refining weapons, you will be free. If you remain stubborn, don't blame us for being cruel and ruthless."

"Then do you know who I am? I am the bloodline of the First Emperor of the Xuanhuang Ancient Court, the Primordial Phoenix Refining the Sun. I am a supreme being that you ants must look up to for your entire lives!"

The woman formed from flames stood on a white sea of ​​fire, like a deity descending to earth, exuding terrifying pressure.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mo sneered without any mercy: "So it's you remnants of the Xuan Emperor. It's a pity that the royal court you inherited has been abolished by the Sunset Royal Court."

"what?!"

Now it was the latter's turn to be shocked. He roared, "How is this possible? You, a mere mortal from the Heavenly Abyss, dare to deceive me like this?"

"enough."

"I have no reason to deceive you. I'm only giving you two choices: either refine the weapon or rest here forever."

Jiang Mo instantly ceased concealing his cultivation level. A colossal divine image emerged behind him, overlooking the entire nineteenth level of lava and gazing upon the ancient beings at the altar, its power as intimidating as if its words were law:

"After being locked up for four or five thousand years, and undergoing rebirth for so long, don't you still understand?"

"you...!!!"

The Primordial Heavenly Fire couldn't help but feel a chill the moment it saw the divine form. Just what kind of monster was this human?!

"select."

Jiang Mo urged him repeatedly, raising his left hand and pointing it at the woman from a distance, his eyes showing no pity.

"Hmph! I..."

However, before he could finish speaking, a Void Great Seal pierced through space and directly penetrated the body of the Primordial Heavenly Fire.

"Pfft!!!"

The woman coughed up a mouthful of blood, her face contorted in rage. Her powerful aura had diminished by more than half. She knelt on the ground, her internal organs blasted into bloody foam, and her bones turned to dust. She was no match for Jiang Mo at all.

"Fine, I don't need your flame."

"Since you are a remnant of the Xuanhuang Demon Court, I will send you on your way."

Jiang Mo's left hand once again condensed a terrifying gray light, which was none other than the 'Origin of Time', imbued with the power of nearly five thousand years. This strike directly caused the cultivation of the Primordial Heavenly Fire to be cut back to its origin.

"and many more!!!"

The Primordial Heavenly Fire panicked, its raging fury extinguished by the fear of death. At that moment, it sensed a strong killing intent, and its intuition told it that it would surely die after one strike.

At the crucial moment, it shouted loudly:

"I'll help you! I'll help you! Human, stop!!"

"Have you thought it through?" Jiang Mo questioned.

"I understand...I understand...I'll help you..."

The Primordial Heavenly Fire was indeed quite frightened. The strange gray light at the man's fingertip was definitely the strongest divine power it had ever seen in its long history, even stronger than the divine power that killed it back then!

"it is good."

Jiang Mo dispersed the Origin of Time, turned to look at the three weapon-refining masters, and asked, "What is the next step...?"

"Please, senior, bestow fire upon us."

Si Yue stepped forward respectfully to make his request.

"Take it."

The woman tossed a white flame with her left hand, which flew over without harming the old man, who easily caught it.

"Thank you, senior." Si Yue bowed with a complicated expression.

"You all should refine your magical artifacts first. Gentlemen, I'll keep an eye on this remnant of the Xuan Emperor."

Jiang Mo reassured the group that they could focus on refining their weapons without worry. Then, he walked towards the altar and communicated with the Primordial Heavenly Fire, his tone softening slightly.

"Your royal court lasted for less than four thousand years before it fell into internal strife and split apart. Later, a great demon rose up and re-established the Sunset Royal Court. This happened a long time ago."

"Hmm? See for yourself."

After saying that, Jiang Mo took out a yellowed ancient book from his bosom and handed it to the wary woman. He had taken the book from the prisoners of the Sunset Royal Court, so he naturally knew about the history of the outside world.

"........"

The Primordial Heavenly Fire snatched the ancient book and began to read it. The more he read, the more shocked he became, and his whole body trembled. The vast royal court had been destroyed. It was already in internal strife, and then it was attacked by the Void Sword Sect, resulting in the loss of billions of miles of territory, which almost became human territory.

Four hundred years later, the Demon Emperor of the Sunset Kingdom rose to power, and together with rare species such as the Taotie and the Demon Dragon, they defeated the Void Sword Sect and reclaimed the territory of the demon race.

"Where did you get this information?"

Taigu Jiangtian slowly withdrew his gaze from the book and looked at Jiang Mo, pressing him for answers.

"It was stolen. There are people from the outside who have infiltrated this place, and I caught them."

"Boom!"

"Boom!!!"

As the two were talking, a deafening roar came from behind them. A huge furnace was suspended in the void, with white flames burning fiercely. Three enormous figures were each casting spells, putting massive amounts of materials into the furnace to extract their essence and baptize the two innate magical artifacts.

"Then...then you're a native human of Tianyuan?!"

"No, you are not suppressed by the laws of Tianyuan, so why are you so...powerful? Where do you come from?"

The ancient heavenly fire continued to press for answers.

"Nothing to do with you."

"Once the magical artifact is completed, you can go wherever you want. However, you must not seek revenge against the humans who inhabit the upper levels."

"If you violate this rule, no matter where you flee to or who protects you, I will ensure your eternal damnation."

Jiang Mo stood with his hands behind his back, watching the warning from the Primordial Heavenly Fire.

"........"

"Is there a passage between Tianyuan and the outside world now?" He asked.

"No."

"So what are your relationships with forces like the Void Sword Sect, the Sunset Royal Court, and the Great Ye Dynasty?"

"No way."

Upon hearing this, the Primordial Heavenly Fire seemed to ponder for a moment, and then made a suggestion:

"How about we cooperate? Help me take revenge, and I will take you as my master from now on. I will also give you many supreme Taoist scriptures of my Xuanhuang Royal Court to read."

"Become a disciple? I don't have a disciple like you who plots to kill their master."

Jiang Mo politely declined the other party's request and repeatedly stated:

"Our fate ends here. After the weapon is forged, we will each have our own destiny, and we will be responsible for our own lives."

Chapter 554 The Tempering of Weapons is Successful, A Visitor from Beyond the Realm

"you......"

The curt refusal made the woman's face stiffen.

He hadn't expected this human to treat the Xuanhuang Ancient Scripture as nothing. Perhaps it was out of resentment, or perhaps it thought Jiang Mo was unaware of the scripture's power.

Suppressing his displeasure, the Primordial Heavenly Fire patiently offered another piece of advice:

"Our clan's Xuanhuang Scripture is the foremost scripture in all known territories."

"I won't mention the recent ones, like the Great Ye Dynasty and the Sunset Royal Court, which are less than ten thousand years old. Let's talk about the distant ones. When my clan still existed, there were five major forces, including the Void Sword Sect, which possessed countless Dao scriptures, supernatural powers, and techniques."

"Our clan's Xuanhuang Ancient Scripture ranks first. Your Excellency, you should understand what this means. With its assistance, you will surely dominate the outside world."

"So powerful, yet they were still wiped out?"

Jiang Mo still wasn't very interested. In his mind, the Xuanhuang Demon Court was a force dominated by demons. The so-called Xuanhuang Scripture should be a cultivation method suitable for demons. Even if he could cultivate it, it might not be compatible with his second true body.

Moreover, he was even more confident in the path he had chosen, the way he had cultivated, and the skills he had honed.
