Divine Fire Refines the Body, Furnace Reaches Great Accomplishment

While the cultivators of the Holy King Sect were busy doing their "good deeds," Lin Yu led two elders and a group of cultivators from the former Green Mist Sect deep into a forbidden area of the Leaving Fire Sect.

Here, a massive fire vein was imprisoned. The fire vein surged and roared, lurking beneath the earth, with endless magma churning, transforming this place into a world of flames.

"I never expected the Leaving Fire Sect to have such a large fire vein. Cultivating fire techniques here would be incredibly fast," several elders and disciples exclaimed in wonder at the sight.

"Once this fire vein erupts, the oases within a radius of several thousand li will suffer devastating damage.

The founder of the Leaving Fire Sect discovered this place back then and set up a forbidden spell. Then, through generations of effort, they finally subdued it. Not only did it cause no harm, but it greatly benefited the cultivation of the Leaving Fire Sect!"

Lin Yu nodded and said.

"It's a pity that their descendants were unfilial. They neither made breakthroughs in cultivation nor cultivated virtue, and ultimately, they couldn't escape the fate of their sect being destroyed. Even if I didn't come, someone else would have acted on behalf of heaven."

The elders and disciples also showed embarrassed expressions, as their sect's fate seemed similar to the Leaving Fire Sect's. However, two cultivators who were originally from the Leaving Fire Sect remained silent, their gazes fixed on the restrictions on the wall, making one wonder if ancient scriptures of sages were hidden within.

After the Leaving Fire Sect was destroyed, Lin Yu had been cultivating here these past few days. His cultivation had now reached a certain stage, and it was time to consider the next step.

With twenty Giant Elephant Particles, ordinary Dao Palace cultivators had no power to resist him. However, the Hell Furnace was still in its embryonic stage, which was somewhat unsatisfactory, so he could only rely on some "external pressure."

"So, Sect Master, you mean we're going to activate this divine furnace together and put you inside to be refined? Will this really be okay?" an elder asked with an expression that seemed to say, I haven't been cultivating for long, don't lie to me.

At this moment, they had arrived deep within the forbidden area. Lin Yu had set up a formation inside, with a copper furnace at the center. Under the enhancement of the formation, it had expanded to a size of ten feet. Terrifying flames churned within, and a destructive power was brewing!

Lin Yu gave them an exasperated look and replied:

"That's right. If your strength wasn't so low, one person activating it would be like taking a bath. Why would it be this troublesome otherwise!"

"Next, the two elders will stand in the Qian and Kun positions. The others will stand in the Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, and Dui positions respectively. Once I enter the copper furnace, you will immediately activate the formation and push the power of the copper furnace to the maximum!"

After speaking, without waiting for their reply, he flew directly into the copper furnace and sat down cross-legged.

Hearing this, the others exchanged glances and could only follow Lin Yu's instructions, taking their respective positions. Then, they unleashed spells and activated their divine energy. The furnace lid closed tightly, and the copper furnace immediately underwent astonishing changes!

"Boom!"

The divine furnace revived, and a terrifying pressure was generated. The copper furnace turned completely red, and the divine patterns on it seemed about to transform into real living beings!

Deep within the space-time of the copper furnace, amidst the endless raging flames, a crimson light shot out from the center of the sea of fire. Immediately after, the head of a Divine Phoenix broke through layers of fire walls.

Its head had rigid lines, and its fiery red crest feathers were like burning thorns, flamboyant and dazzling.

The next second, its narrow phoenix eyes slowly opened, with raging crimson flames in its pupils, and a sharp gaze that seemed to look down on all living beings. The feathers all over its body were like melted red gold, shimmering with a metallic luster under the high temperature, each one flickering with small, vibrant flames.

Finally, its magnificent tail feathers spread out, like the flowing sunset at the edge of the sky. With the Divine Phoenix's movements, the fire waves were stirred even more violently.

As soon as this Divine Phoenix appeared, it directly merged into Lin Yu's body!

Rumble!

In an instant, the Divine Phoenix began to burn Lin Yu's entire network of meridians, even reaching deep into the Sea of Suffering. On Lin Yu's body, raging true fire completely erupted, turning him into a man of fire.

However, his heart was like a deep pool, undisturbed. The fierce flames mercilessly licked his body, but the piercing pain could not shake his resolute spirit in the slightest.

With his powerful mental will, he endured the intense pain his physical body suffered and had already comprehended the true meaning of the soul – the human body itself has no sense of pain; only the mental level perceives pain, just as the dead are unaware and insensible, while the living can clearly experience it.

In this terrifying ordeal, Lin Yu simultaneously activated the life essence within the Hell Furnace to replenish his physical body and placed the embryonic Hell Furnace in the Divine Phoenix True Fire for煅烧.

As time slowly passed, Lin Yu gradually felt that the embryonic Hell Furnace was continuously becoming complete, and it began to absorb the Divine Phoenix's true fire to replenish itself. This was a sign that the furnace was about to reach completion!

"Buzz!"

A deep, resonant sound, like a great bell, suddenly echoed all around. Behind Lin Yu, a majestic, giant furnace slowly materialized.

This furnace, condensed from Divine Power, was not an illusion but something tangible. Deep within the furnace, a Divine Phoenix struggled fiercely. Its body shone with light, but it was unable to break free from the furnace's confinement.

Lin Yu had completely and thoroughly refined the "Hell Furnace," successfully imprisoning this Divine Phoenix within it, intending to extract its essence and transform it into his own power.

At this moment, he exuded a powerful aura, as if he controlled a deity, seemingly having surpassed the rules of the world.

Deep within the giant Hell Furnace behind him, the lava churned violently like a boiling ocean. The imprisoned Divine Phoenix let out cries of lamentation, but it could only helplessly endure the fate of having its essence extracted within the furnace's prison.

Legend has it that once the "Hell Furnace" is successfully refined, it can transform into a supreme divine artifact, refining all energy, life essence, heaven and earth elemental energy, and even the essence of the sun and moon, the power of the stars, all of which can be transformed into its own Life Source by the furnace.

As the power of the Divine Phoenix transformed into brilliant strands of light, a continuous stream of Life Source poured into Lin Yu's body. Under his scorched skin, new flesh and blood slowly grew like young shoots breaking through the soil.

The carbonized muscles gradually became vibrant, and the broken meridians slowly healed in a faint light. In a short while, the burned and incomplete limbs began to reshape, wounds quickly scabbed over and fell off, and the newborn skin glowed with a healthy luster.

Within Lin Yu's blood vessels, the dark golden blood flowed continuously. As the essence of the Divine Phoenix permeated it, it became as brilliant as new, and its power grew stronger and stronger.

A large amount of Life Essence Source then entered the twenty-one particles. The final moment of awakening was about to arrive.

"Suck!"

Lin Yu took a deep breath, inhaling the raging flames in the divine furnace. Countless divine fires transformed into a long river entering Lin Yu's body. The intensity was so fierce that even the formation outside became unstable.

At the same time, he took out a large amount of Source, crushed it all, and poured it into the Hell Furnace, which he refined one by one.

Under this immense power, the twenty-first particle finally began to sprout. The aura from the Ancient Giant Elephant once again emerged from Lin Yu's body.

"Clang!"

A crimson flame struck open the furnace lid and, to the stunned gazes of the others, penetrated layers of forbidden spells, arriving above the headquarters of the Holy King Sect.
