Chapter 578: Qitian Refines a Sacred Body in the Sky-Embracing Furnace, I, Old Monkey, Only Fight in This Life and Seek No Future Life

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

The Pulse of Heaven and Earth Flame erupted instantly, a brilliant golden radiance enveloping everything, as if it had instantly drained the luster from everyone’s eyes!

The dazzling light of the Pulse of Heaven and Earth Flame stole all the glory!

A hundred-foot-tall Pulse of Heaven and Earth Flame Ape roared and stood firm, its terrifying might continuously spreading and releasing, causing the ground of the entire Sky-Embracing Palace to tremble as if it could not withstand the intense heat, cracking inch by inch!

This was the Pulse of Heaven and Earth Flame, the most fearsome flame in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, a flame of the rules!

Even the Immortals would suffer immense erosion when tainted by it, finding it difficult to resist this power, their flesh and blood withering, everything melting away!

At this moment, almost everyone’s gaze was drawn to this terrifying Pulse of Heaven and Earth Flame Ape!

The moment the Flame Ape collided with the Sky-Embracing Furnace, an invisible shockwave, like a roaring wave, spread out in all directions. A pillar of flame shot straight up, piercing the clouds.

It shattered the mist and scattered countless rays of light!

Shi Shaogai, Fu Shaoxi, and other young emperors narrowed their eyes. Shi Shaogai clasped his hands together, floating in mid-air. He was using a strand of the Pulse of Heaven and Earth Flame’s energy to supplement and strengthen his Ancient Golden Cicada Pattern. However, he could not help but awaken from his cultivation state, his sharp gaze focusing on the hundred-foot-tall Pulse of Heaven and Earth Flame Ape.

“This divine carving by Cangche the Divine Carver… actually surpasses my own!”

Shi Shaogai took a deep breath, his heart shaken.

At this moment, the Pulse of Heaven and Earth Flame Ape, infused with the divine carving’s essence, was the most vivid way to compare who was truly more skilled in divine carving.

At first, Shi Shaogai was unwilling to concede, but as he gazed at the magnificent Pulse of Heaven and Earth Flame Ape, his heart slowly sank in defeat.

He knew that Cangche the Divine Carver was indeed more skilled in divine carving than he was!

He could not match, truly could not match.

But he did not need to compete with Cangche the Divine Carver. A mere Cangche the Divine Carver was not worth his concern.

Shi Shaogai was the young emperor of the Black Mount Sumeru Divine Camp, with the immortal blood of the first generation flowing through his veins!

His future was bound to reach the immortal realm!

Divine carving was just one of his hobbies; he did not need to be the best. He only needed to reach immortality in cultivation to surpass everything.

He refocused his mind on capturing the Ancient Golden Cicada Pattern.

However.

Shi Shaogai did not notice that, within the massive hundred-foot-tall Pulse of Heaven and Earth Flame Ape, a figure appeared and vanished in an instant, flickering under the cover of the Pulse of Heaven and Earth aura, passing by in the blink of an eye.

When the massive body of the Pulse of Heaven and Earth Flame Ape touched the Sky-Embracing Furnace.

After making his decision, Li Che chose to teleport, appearing inside the Flame Ape’s body, taking advantage of the moment the Flame Ape touched the Sky-Embracing Furnace to complete the connection.

This allowed Li Che to sense the situation inside the Sky-Embracing Furnace.

He then chose to use Thunderflash Teleportation to enter!

Li Che was still somewhat reluctant. If he did not try, and allowed Qitian to be refined by the Pulse of Heaven and Earth Flame, he might regret it for the rest of his life.

But if he tried, even if he failed, his heart would not continue to be filled with regret.

Because he had tried, he could be without regrets, his thoughts at peace!

The situation at this moment was very dangerous, performing Thunderflash Teleportation under the watchful eyes of three Earth Immortals and one Heaven Immortal.

The risk was enormous!

Li Che almost reduced the Heaven and Earth Chessboard to its smallest size, suspending it above his head, spinning rapidly to envelop himself, concealing his aura. He also maximized the Sleep Dragon-Elephant effect of the Dragon-Elephant Diamond Dao Fruit!

He was doing everything he could to avoid the attention of the Immortal Divine Beings, to enter the Sky-Embracing Furnace and rescue Qitian.

This was Li Che’s only chance!

Only at the moment the Pulse of Heaven and Earth Flame Ape touched the Sky-Embracing Furnace did he have this brief opportunity to use Thunderflash Teleportation to enter the furnace and meet up with Qitian!

Above the Sky-Embracing Furnace.

Eighty-one Flame Monkeys of various sizes, the Pulse of Heaven and Earth Flame burning fiercely.

Even space was being scorched and distorted.

As the eighty-one Flame Monkeys collided with the Sky-Embracing Furnace, the temperature inside the furnace reached its peak, the refining heat inside was extremely terrifying, capable of melting everything!

However, at this moment.

Lord Lao the Immortal, with his white hair and eyebrows fluttering, slowly opened his eyes.

A hint of surprise appeared in his gaze.

“A little insect… slipped into the alchemy furnace?”

Behind him, a seven-colored light wheel continuously rotated, ever-changing, dreamlike.

Lord Lao the Immortal remained unperturbed, his fingers forming seals, his hair and beard slightly fluttering, even in the midst of the Pulse of Heaven and Earth Flame’s impact, he moved with ease and grace.

His gaze swept over, focusing on the area where Li Che was. There, Li Che’s dominant avatar sat on the ground, drenched in sweat, also learning from Shi Shaogai, drawing a strand of the Pulse of Heaven and Earth Flame.

Lord Lao the Immortal observed for a while but saw no difference, his surprise growing.

As a Heaven Immortal, he was extremely confident in his perception. Something had definitely tried to shield his senses and slip into the Sky-Embracing Furnace.

And it had indeed succeeded.

“The Sky-Embracing Furnace… easy to enter, but hard to leave.”

Lord Lao the Immortal gave Li Che a deep look.

Then, his fingers formed another seal, and he said coldly.

His fingers formed another seal, and suddenly, the eighty-one Pulse of Heaven and Earth Flame Monkeys became even more agitated, continuously colliding with the Sky-Embracing Furnace, causing the temperature inside to rise even higher, burning everything to ashes!

Lord Lao the Immortal used the furnace to refine Qitian.

The power of this Pulse of Heaven and Earth alchemy array was extremely terrifying, and Lord Lao the Immortal had never expected that a little insect would dare to slip into it.

Since it was not afraid of death, Lord Lao the Immortal did not bother to pay attention to it.

In his view, unless another Heaven Immortal slipped in and attempted to intervene, the current situation was already a dead end for Qitian.

The Pulse of Heaven and Earth Flame was the result of Lord Lao the Immortal’s calculations over three divine tides, driven by the belief that Qitian the Monkey King must be refined!

Buzz—

Lord Lao the Immortal’s body drifted down, sitting on the lid of the alchemy furnace.

Thud, a muffled sound echoed.

The three Earth Immortals’ eyes sparkled, their powerful immortal wills surging, summoning even more terrifying earth vein flames, which merged with the heaven vein flames.

...

...

Buzz—

The moment Li Che clenched his fingers, he completed the Thunderflash Teleportation.

However, the instant he teleported, he found himself inside the Sky-Embracing Furnace, immediately feeling an overwhelming heat surge toward him!

Everything in sight was a fiery red!

The intense heat was so intense that Li Che’s body almost couldn’t bear it, as if it were about to melt instantly.

In a split second, Li Che transformed into his Martial Immortal form. His formidable physique emitted a resounding metallic clang, as if lightning sparks were continuously exploding across his body.

The intense heat was so strong that it clashed with the powerful energy within his body.

Roar!

Dragon roars and elephant cries!

The Dragon-Elephant Diamond Dao Fruit was directly stimulated, unleashing the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame, which continuously countered the extreme heat, preventing his body from collapsing under the intense temperature!

"The heaven and earth vein flames... truly terrifying!"

Li Che gasped.

The entrance was now filled with scorching heat, the air almost completely devoid of oxygen.

"You brat... how did you get in here?"

"Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"

A golden light instantly shot over, revealing the Qitian Temple God, whose entire body seemed to be engulfed in flames, his monkey fur burning.

The Qitian Temple God narrowed his eyes, his golden gaze filled with disbelief as he looked at Li Che.

"You brat... you’re really reckless!"

"I’ve seen people run for their lives, but never someone seeking death!"

Qitian swayed his head, though he knew why Li Che had appeared inside the Sky-Embracing Furnace.

However, he still felt a bit exasperated. Hadn’t he already contacted Li Che and instructed him to transfer all the Qitian essence within his body to the Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff?

Qitian had already prepared to meet his end calmly.

But this brat actually came into the Sky-Embracing Furnace!

"Feeling the heat now, are you?"

"This is just the beginning... the Sky-Embracing Furnace is Lord Lao the Immortal’s Divine Weapon, capable of gathering the essence of heaven and earth from the heaven and earth vein flames, which is even more terrifying!"

"Besides, have you noticed the walls of the alchemy furnace?"

"The curved surfaces are meticulously designed, and they are engraved with countless statues. Each statue captures and gathers the energy of the heaven and earth vein flames outside the furnace, amplifying it several times within the furnace!"

"Even a Heaven Immortal could be refined here!"

Qitian floated down, scratching his head.

He began to worry about Li Che. Now that this brat had entered the Sky-Embracing Furnace...

How could he get him out?

It was easy to get in, but getting out was a whole different story, several times more difficult.

"You brat... try to use your special teleportation power to get out."

"Most likely impossible. The interior and exterior of the alchemy furnace are completely different. It has a specific function to refine the power of space. Lord Lao the Immortal used countless medicinal ingredients when refining, many of which were adept at space power, even cutting a large piece of void as an ingredient!"

Qitian, who had fought against these divine camps’ Heaven Immortals for several divine tides, knew their methods well.

"You’ll notice that you can’t teleport out now; the void has been severed."

Qitian sighed.

Li Che’s eyes flickered, and he clenched his fingers.

Indeed, his perception of the Thunderflash Chess piece in the array formation position of his sovereign avatar outside had become very blurry.

He encountered an extremely strong resistance when trying to teleport.

However...

It wasn’t impossible to teleport out!

A glimmer of hope appeared in Li Che’s heart.

Although the teleportation power was very weak, it still existed.

Just like when he wanted to enter the Sky-Embracing Furnace, he needed to touch the furnace.

The spatial lockdown power inside the Sky-Embracing Furnace was significantly stronger, making the Thunderflash Teleportation much more difficult.

The time required to trigger it was too long!

So long that...

He might not survive long enough to teleport out before being refined by the furnace’s power!

Large beads of sweat continuously dripped from Li Che’s body, rolling down and landing on the furnace’s floor, instantly evaporating into nothingness!

The intense heat made breathing through his mouth and nose unbearable!

If he waited, he really wouldn’t survive long enough to teleport out of the furnace!

His heart stirred.

A stream of light appeared before his eyes.

[Dao Fruit: Chess Sage (Level 8, 90%)]

Earlier, through the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, he had sketched the fifth ancient rune of heaven and earth, and the pressure had continuously increased the maturity of the Chess Sage Dao Fruit!

Now, the Chess Sage Dao Fruit was just a bit away from its seventh transformation.

This also greatly enhanced the teleportation power of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

However, the only downside was that the Chess Sage Dao Fruit had not yet undergone its seventh transformation!

If the Chess Sage Dao Fruit had achieved its seventh transformation, Li Che believed the time required to teleport out of the furnace would be significantly reduced!

His ink-colored shirt began to disintegrate into ashes under the intense heat, revealing his immensely powerful holy body.

The Dusty Holy Body glowed with an ancient bronze hue, emitting a radiant light, as if ancient symbols were flowing across it.

"The Chess Sage Dao Fruit... if it could transform, it would greatly reduce the time needed to trigger the teleportation."

"However, in this urgent situation, I have no way to enhance the Chess Sage Dao Fruit."

"So, to hold out until the teleportation is completed..."

He, Li Che, had to withstand the refining power of the Sky-Embracing Furnace!

Li Che panted heavily, his black hair swirling with vital energy, shimmering with a radiant light.

He looked at the Qitian Temple God.

"Qitian, you don’t need to scold me anymore. If I don’t try, I’ll always feel a sense of regret."

"Of course, we’re not trapped in this Sky-Embracing Furnace without a way out."

"If all else fails... we can break out from the inside."

Li Che said with a smile.

He wasn’t acting on impulse when he rushed into the Sky-Embracing Furnace, where a Heaven Immortal was refining.

He had made preparations.

"Break out? Heh, I understand your ambition, brat... it’s quite grand!"

Qitian scratched his head, his face covered in ash and soot from the intense heat inside the alchemy furnace. But he chuckled.

"Are you planning to use your mechanical beast?"

"I sensed that you embedded the Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff into that mechanical beast, allowing my essence power to merge with it..."

Qitian narrowed his bright golden eyes.

"Yes, if the senior manipulates it personally, we should be able to unleash the full potential of the Sky-Reaching Armored Suit!"

Li Che took a deep breath and said, "Break out from inside the furnace!"

Inside the Sky-Embracing Furnace, Li Che found it extremely difficult to activate the Ink City Fengdu.

However, difficult as it was, it wasn't impossible.

But there was only one chance to activate it.

Once activated, the space-locking power within the Sky-Embracing Furnace would seal the entrance to the Ink City Fengdu, preventing it from dissipating. Subsequently, the terrifying heat inside the furnace would surge into the Ink City Fengdu, burning everything to ashes.

The Ink City Fengdu would be utterly destroyed.

If the Sky-Reaching Armored Suit was released too early, it would need to expend additional power to resist the furnace's high temperature.

Additionally, while the Purity Heart Dao Fruit was helping to refine the essence, the power transmitted from the Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff to the Sky-Reaching Armored Suit had not yet fully succeeded.

This was why Li Che had not immediately activated the Ink City Fengdu.

After listening to Qitian, he only shook his head. "Young one, you underestimate Lord Lao the Immortal."

"Even if I were at my peak strength, I still couldn't break out."

"Inside this Sky-Embracing Furnace, you should see that it forms its own realm, a realm crafted by Lord Lao the Immortal!"

"Each Immortal's origin is an extremely terrifying place. Being in an Immortal's origin is like falling into their domain; it's not easy to break through."

Qitian's words made Li Che's expression change slightly.

"I guess Lord Lao the Immortal already knows you're here", the Qitian Temple God said with a smile.

Li Che's expression immediately turned slightly grim.

"Then there's only the first method..."

Li Che exhaled.

Entering the Sky-Embracing Furnace, Li Che had naturally used the Heaven and Earth Chessboard and the Dao Fruit of the Chess Sage to deduce the situation.

To refine Qitian, Lord Lao the Immortal needed to throw in many rare treasures and divine herbs!

Before entering the furnace, Li Che had planned to use these rare treasures to refine their properties, forcibly absorb them, and enhance the Physical Body Power of his Mortal Saint Body!

This would help increase the maturity of the Dragon-Elephant Diamond Dao Fruit, pushing it toward the eighth transformation!

This was a well-thought-out plan with a high success rate of ninety percent!

This was why Li Che was willing to enter.

Now, Li Che was certain that as long as his Physical Body strength increased, the longer he could withstand the furnace's heat, the more likely it would be for the Thunderflash Teleportation to manifest!

Li Che explained his plan to the Qitian Temple God.

"Oh?"

"Hehehe, a good plan!"

"You're planning to fatten yourself up so Lord Lao the Immortal can refine you into a potent and full-bodied elixir!"

The Qitian Temple God's hands moved like butterflies, and he laughed heartily.

Li Che rolled his eyes.

"But to be honest, the possibility is quite high."

Qitian narrowed his eyes.

"The Pulse of Heaven and Earth Flame has been activated; it will take forty-nine days to refine me..."

"During these forty-nine days, a rare treasure must be added each day until I am fully refined, merging my essence, Physical Body energy, and the properties of the herbs into a single elixir."

Qitian said, as if clearly explaining his own fate to Li Che.

"Of course, this will also be your fate."

Qitian grinned, his eyes flickering as he looked at Li Che.

He truly hadn't expected Li Che to enter the Sky-Embracing Furnace.

But what he hadn't anticipated even more was...

Li Che had brought something extra with him!

"Good kid, start refining these herbs... surviving forty-nine days will be very difficult for you."

"But if you can strengthen your Physical Body by refining the herbs, and with my help, you should be able to hold on."

"Let's try your method first. If it doesn't work, we'll have no choice but to break out of the furnace."

The Qitian Temple God chuckled, seeming less anxious now that Li Che was here, almost as if he had become more confident.

Li Che rubbed his head, feeling that his arrival had given Qitian a strong sense of confidence.

Heh, no wonder Qitian the Great Sage has such keen insight. He really is strong!

Li Che didn't waste any more words.

He sat cross-legged, the temperature inside the Sky-Embracing Furnace rising, and a seven-colored halo above the furnace top continuously changing, distorting the void!

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—

Li Che felt his skin and flesh burning as if being scorched, his expression turning serious.

Rumble, rumble—

His blood and qi surged, rushing continuously.

He began to use the terrifying heat of the Sky-Embracing Furnace to temper his Physical Body!

The progress of the Mortal Saint Body, which had been stuck, slowly started to rise.

...

...

Above the furnace.

Lord Lao the Immortal swept his feather duster, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

The little bug has entered the furnace...

What can it do now?

Even an Immortal would find it difficult to escape from within the Sky-Embracing Furnace...

Otherwise, how could he be confident in refining Qitian in this lifetime?

"The alchemy array is complete; the Pulse of Heaven and Earth Flame will burn for forty-nine days. Thank you, all divine carvers."

"After this alchemy session, each divine carver will receive an elixir from me, in addition to the agreed-upon compensation."

Lord Lao the Immortal said softly.

"Thank you, Lord Lao!"

The eighty-one divine carvers opened their eyes, even the young emperors like Shi Shaogai and Fu Shaoxi, who were in the midst of refining, bowed in gratitude.

Although Li Che couldn't teleport out of the Sky-Embracing Furnace, his avatar's mind was still connected to his main body.

"Now, I will begin by adding the first rare treasure."

Lord Lao the Immortal finished speaking.

The three Earth Immortals exchanged glances, the seven-colored divine wheels behind them spinning faster. They then raised their hands, and powerful immortal wills burst forth from their palms.

Boom—

A beam of light shot down from above the alchemical furnace.

Then, Lord Lao the Immortal waved his sleeve, tossing a crystal-clear emerald leaf into the air.

Shi Shaogai clasped his hands together, his eyes widening with surprise as the cicada patterns on his palms glowed like flowing fire.

"It’s the Second Sage’s supreme medicinal herb, the Bodhi Leaf!"

Shi Shaogai drew a sharp breath.

To start with such a precious medicinal herb?

No wonder Lord Lao the Immortal said that the efficacy of the Qitian Divine Pill had at least a 90% chance of helping cultivators break through the immortal barrier, assisting them in grasping the profound truths of the Immortal Realm!

Boom!

The lid of the alchemical furnace burst open with a thunderous crash.

The Bodhi Leaf was tossed into the furnace, and the lid quickly closed again. A terrifying rumble spread out, forming shockwaves. The heat currents inside the furnace transformed into a raging tide, scorching everything in its path!

Whooosh—

The wind howled, and the sky and earth seemed to change color!

Fu Shaoxi, Shi Shaogai, and the other young emperors all grew solemn.

The heat was terrifying; even a slight leakage made their bodies sting with pain. It was truly frightening!

Only a being like the Monkey King Qitian, who rivaled a Heaven Immortal, would need such formidable power to maintain the refinement for forty-nine days.

If it were any of them, they would probably turn to blood and water in less than an hour.

...

...

Boom—

The furnace lid opened and closed again, with incredible speed.

Li Che, drenched in sweat, had just raised his head when he saw the lid close once more.

A leaf shimmering with emerald light drifted down from the air.

"This is a Bodhi Leaf, a real treasure."

"Young man, refine it quickly and absorb its essence! I’ll help you draw it in!"

The Qitian Temple God said.

In the next moment, he stepped into the air, floating above.

The Bodhi Leaf entered the alchemical furnace and was immediately enveloped by the intense heat. The leaf began to curl, its edges slowly burning.

In less than a moment, the precious Bodhi Leaf had transformed into a pool of emerald green medicinal liquid, the residue burned to ashes and scattered.

The alchemical furnace filled with thick, choking black smoke.

"Good lad, catch it!"

"Hold on tight!"

Qitian, floating in the air, flicked his finger over the medicinal liquid.

The emerald green liquid transformed into a torrential rain, shooting toward Li Che, who was seated in meditation!

The droplets of liquid instantly seeped into Li Che’s body.

His black hair danced wildly.

This...

He suddenly raised his head, taking a deep breath, as piercing pain spread through his entire body!

Every inch of his body was being tested and refined by the medicinal liquid!

Unprecedented pain engulfed Li Che’s body in an instant.

Qitian, floating in the air with his arms crossed, released powerful divine energy that filled the alchemical furnace, blocking Lord Lao the Immortal’s detection.

"Hehe... You came into this furnace, surely for the sake of the Lotus of Hell."

"The father of the Lotus of Hell is indeed extraordinary in this divine tide."

"Having witnessed the power of the Three Great Divine Camps, this young man must feel immense pressure from Lord Lao the Immortal, the Immortal Divine Emperor, the Three Buddhas of Mount Sumeru, and the Immortal Nüwa Empress—each of these Heaven Immortals can exert tremendous pressure on him."

"So, this young man... is willing to risk his life to support me, not just out of belief, but also to find a force that can stand against the Heaven Immortals for the Lotus of Hell camp."

Qitian floated in the air, his monkey fur gently fluttering.

He was clear in his mind.

Belief alone wouldn’t make Li Che disregard his own life to save him.

Everything Li Che did was for his daughter, Xixi, the Lotus of Hell.

If the Lotus of Hell camp had no Heaven Immortal, it would be impossible to stand against the Heaven Immortals of the Three Great Divine Camps.

The fate of the Lotus of Hell would remain unchanged.

Though this young man has great potential and could grow to the level of a Heaven Immortal in the future...

Time is needed, but the Eighth Divine Tide is nearing its climax. After the climax, it will come to an end.

The Three Great Divine Camps won’t give him any more time.

"Refine your body well. Take this opportunity to grow stronger!"

Qitian raised his head.

His golden eyes pierced through the black smoke in the alchemical furnace, as if looking through the Sky-Embracing Furnace to the Lord Lao the Immortal sitting above.

"The Lotus of Hell camp... indeed needs an immortal warrior."

"Since that’s the case, I’ll gamble with this young man in this Eighth Divine Tide!"

Qitian’s golden eyes narrowed, a faint and flickering light in his gaze.

"This young man... comes from the same place as I do."

"The origin of the myths, perhaps?"

"Having pursued it for so long, I thought there was no hope, but now... a glimmer of light has appeared!"

"Since that’s the case..."

Qitian opened his mouth, his sharp teeth gleaming, and a sharp, piercing monkey cry echoed from the alchemical furnace.

"I won’t be a temple god anymore, hehe!"

"I only wish to fight in this life, not think of the next!"

As he spoke, the Qitian Temple God rose into the air, each strand of his monkey fur emitting a brilliant golden light.

One by one, the strands of fur detached from his body, floating in the air like Bodhi leaves, burned by the intense heat inside the Sky-Embracing Furnace, transforming into medicinal liquid, which Qitian flicked toward Li Che.

The medicinal liquid continuously rained down on Li Che’s body!

Li Che’s consciousness fell into chaos.

All he could do was grit his teeth, fully activating his Mortal Saint Body to endure the pain and refinement!

Boom, boom, boom—

His heart pounded violently, his blood surging like a vast sea, racing through his veins!

Boom—

The furnace lid was lifted again.

The second medicinal herb was added, and the Pulse of Heaven and Earth Flame, concentrated by the furnace walls, burned the herb, refining it into medicinal liquid!

The Qitian Temple God’s eyes opened, and he flicked the medicinal liquid, sprinkling it over Li Che.

After the liquid soaked in, more strands of fur detached from Qitian’s body, refining into medicinal essence, which was also added to Li Che.

Boom, boom, boom—

The alchemical furnace opened and closed repeatedly.

One medicinal herb after another was added.

Each addition of a medicinal herb meant another day had passed!

The temperature inside the furnace continued to rise!

Inside the Sky-Embracing Furnace, Li Che’s entire body had transformed into charcoal.
