Chapter 1036 Kaishan Divine Furnace
"Now!"
Upon witnessing this, the Azure Luan Fairy immediately summoned a length of cyan silk, swiftly winding it around the Celestial Pillar.
This silk, named the Zephyr Drifting Silk, was the signature treasure of the Fairy Qingluan, ranking among the highest tier of immortal artifacts.
This treasure acted like the final straw that broke the camel's back. Coiling around the celestial pillar, it gave a fierce tug and actually managed to topple the heavenly column.
"Boom!"
In the blink of an eye, 1 of the 4 Heavenly Pillars crumbled, and the entire Earth Immortal Realm began to tremble violently.
Eldrin felt as though heaven and earth were spinning wildly, the entire Earth Immortal Realm seeming on the verge of turning upside down.
"It is done!"
Watching the celestial pillar collapse and transform into a divine wood, the few of them all revealed expressions of delight.
The setting sun cast long shadows as Crimson Sun Taoist’s eyes darkened with fury upon seeing the Divine Wood snatched away by the Azure Phoenix Maiden. His expression turned thunderous, and for a moment, it seemed he would lunge forth to seize it by force.
The Azure Luan Fairy, however, spoke calmly: "There are 4 Celestial Pillars of the Extremities. Even if we each take 1, there will still be 1 to spare. Why be so hasty to turn hostile?"
The Divine Maiden of Azure Empyrean was about to speak, yet her expression instantly shifted to 1 of grave solemnity.
Between heaven and earth, a sudden tremor shook the vast expanse as a hazy, indistinct source of light bloomed from the depths of the endless firmament.
"He has awakened!"
The 3 of them whispered, their faces etched with profound gravity.
Eldrin looked up and saw a crimson sun slowly descending across the boundless firmament.
At first, everyone thought it was a sun, but as it slowly descended and its contours gradually emerged, they finally saw its true form.
It was an ancient alchemical furnace, seemingly forged of ruddy bronze. Its surface was carved with myriad mottled patterns, exuding an aura of profound antiquity.
Eldrin (Person Name) took but 1 glance and felt this alchemy furnace was more ancient than heaven and earth itself.
It had existed for tens of millions of years, an ancient treasure born even before this realm was created.
In the primordial dawn of this realm, an ancient immortal used this artifact to cleave the heavens and shape the earth. Infused with the invaluable Primordial Chaos Qi, it ultimately transformed into a Heaven-Sundering Treasure.
Yes, this is a Heaven-Sundering Treasure.
Its name was 'Fire Sun God Furnace,' 1 of the 3 Primordial Treasures of this realm, and the only Primordial Treasure that had fused with the Primordial Qi.
"Hum."
In that fleeting instant, the entire world fell into utter silence.
Eldrin looked up and saw the Solar Inferno Crucible unleashing hundreds of millions of divine chains of natural law. Their immeasurably vast power pierced through heaven and earth, miraculously stabilizing the collapsing firmament.
Close behind, the Solar Flame Furnace trembled slightly before descending to suppress Can Yangzi, the Divine Maiden of Azure Empyrean, and the Fairy of Azure Luan.
"Hold them off for me!"
As the Blazing Sun Divine Furnace came crashing towards them, the 3 of them wore expressions of extreme gravity.
They dared not hold back in the slightest, instantly unleashing their signature techniques to suppress the Fire Yang Divine Furnace.
In the blink of an eye, the 10 1000 Miles of Lingering Sun Pearl, the Gale-Swept Feather Ribbon, and the Azure Firmament Divine Thunder Mirror were unleashed in rapid succession, colliding violently with the Blazing Sun Divine Furnace.
This was a clash between a supreme immortal treasure and a Heaven-Splitting artifact, unleashing the power to cleave heaven and earth with the very first move.
In the blink of an eye, the entire world erupted with a deafening roar. Within the vast Earth Immortal blessed realm, mountains and rivers shifted positions as the terrain underwent monumental transformations.
Affected by this, the structures within the blessed land—such as the Scripture Repository—emitted a dazzling radiance, and dozens of streams of light unexpectedly soared forth from within.
It turned out that these divine artifacts possessed sentience. Sensing the imminent collapse of the blessed immortal’s grotto, numerous celestial treasures emerged from the Scripture Repository and the Artifact Forging Pavilion.
"A golden opportunity."
Dozens of radiant streaks shot across the sky, and countless immortals immediately surged forward, plunging into a frenzied scramble.
Eldrin (Person Name) and the Void-Refining Immortal moved with equal swiftness, seizing a stream of immortal radiance in the blink of an eye.
With the crowd being too large, Eldrin only managed to seize 2 ancient scrolls before realizing that most of the spiritual objects had already been taken by the numerous immortals.
He was about to take his leave when he noticed a black-gold cauldron adorned with dragon patterns soaring up from the Artifact Refining Pavilion, flying straight toward him.
And trailing closely behind the great cauldron was none other than Chilongzi.
"Forged from Dragon-Patterned Black Gold?"
"Most likely, a revered treasure."
The opportunity was right before his eyes. Without hesitation, Eldrin made his move. The 5-colored divine light swept forth, instantly retracting the great cauldron before he transformed into a streak of flowing radiance, darting toward the exit of the ancient ruins.
Behind him, the Crimson Dragon Master’s face twisted with madness as he roared in utter fury, “Eldrin, you insolent brat! How dare you snatch this venerable 1’s treasure? You deserve death!”
Confronting Crimson Dragon Child's frenzy, Eldrin remained unshaken, his countenance utterly tranquil.
He flew out of the ruins alongside the Void-Refining Immortal, and as they parted ways, he turned back for 1 last look. Only then did he realize that the great battle in the void had already drawn to a close.
Within the Solar Flame Divine Furnace lay the power of creation itself, further amplified by the strength of an Earth Immortal realm. The force it unleashed suppressed all things in existence. Even 3 supreme immortals wielding peak-grade immortal treasures could not prevail against it when joining forces.
All 3 of them had been defeated, with no possibility of a comeback.
The azure luan, bleeding profusely, fled deep into the spatial rift and vanished without a trace in an instant.
The Azure Firmament Thunder God transformed into a bolt of lightning, vanishing to parts unknown. Canyangzi, relying on the 10-1000-Mile Sunset Pearl to barely hold his ground, was fleeing toward the outskirts of the Earth Immortal Realm.
With another glance, Eldrin realized he was already inside the ruins.
"Go!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Eldrin immediately departed with the Void-Refining Immortal, vanishing into the void in the blink of an eye.
The 2 had no time to tally their treasures. After spending several months on the journey, they finally returned to the Crimson Dragon Sea.
After returning to the Scarlet Dragon Sea, they immediately headed to Green Abyss Island.
"Well?"
Seeing the 2 return in a frantic rush, Lyra and Qing Ji promptly approached, unable to resist asking.
Eldrin exchanged a glance with the Void Refinement Immortal, then took a deep breath and said, "Let's begin by taking stock of our treasures first."
"Good."
The Void Refining Immortal also nodded in agreement.
As they spoke, the 2 took out the gains from this journey.
When they revealed the gains from this journey, even Lyra’s expression shifted dramatically. She exclaimed in utter astonishment, “How could there be this much?”
"Slightly more than anticipated."
Eldrin took a deep breath as he gazed upon the treasure before him.
Though this treasure hunt was fraught with peril, even incurring the wrath of Eldrin and Zephyrwind Immortal, it had yielded immense rewards for the 2 of them.
Eldrin took stock and quickly sorted through his gains.
This time, their harvest of treasures was exceptionally abundant, broadly categorized into 3 main types: immortal artifacts, ancient inheritance texts, and celestial herbs.
Among them, spiritual herbs were the most abundant. As the blessed land and the Earthly Immortal Realm had remained untouched for hundreds of thousands of years, they had accumulated countless spiritual herbs.
Eldrin made a simple tally and discovered he had obtained over a million spirit herbs.
Most of these spiritual herbs were only at the Golden Core or Nascent Soul level, yet there were also quite a few Pure Yang spiritual herbs that surpassed the Nascent Soul realm.
Eldrin had harvested over 3,000 sixth-tier pure yang spirit herbs, among which 30-some were ancient variants that had transcended their natural limits.
These ancient herbs had transcended the limits of the primordial spirit, nurturing a wisp of immortal qi within them. They were but 1 final transformation away from becoming celestial medicines.
