Volume's end: The Eight Trigrams Furnace, a world unto itself (33)

Boom!

A giant hand descended from the sky and instantly seized one of the Heavenly Emperor's broken wings.

Then, before the remnants of the Heavenly Emperor could react...

Another halo appeared out of thin air, and from it extended another giant hand.

This is another application of the [Heaven and Earth Ring] – dividing it into two.

It's not a simple differentiation and replication, but a genuine transformation that creates another [Heaven and Earth Ring].

Theoretically speaking, if Li Boyang had the ability, he could even take out countless [Heaven and Earth Ring] from endless space and time.

As projections from the Space-Time Realm, each of the [Heaven and Earth Ring] is real and authentic.

"Gah!"

Realizing the danger, the remnant body of the Heavenly Emperor let out another long cry.

A second pair, and even a third pair, slowly grew from His body...

But before those wings could fully grow...

The same number of [Heaven and Earth Ring] and arms descended from the sky, firmly grasping it.

Looking again at Li Boyang in the [Heaven and Earth Black and Yellow Exquisite Pagoda], he has somehow transformed into a six-armed giant.

Red hair flying wildly, three eyes glaring, six arms outstretched...

Its entire body was a fiery red.

Even more terrifying was that Li Boyang easily captured the remains of the Heavenly Emperor.

He didn't look at the other person again, but instead turned his gaze to the ground beneath his feet.

Or to be more precise, Li Boyang is now looking at the entire Guixu.

Although he was in the Guixu, Li Boyang's perspective seemed to have jumped out of this secret realm, allowing him to see the entirety of this fallen Heavenly Emperor's Capital.

"This world... is the real surprise of this trip."

As if responding to Xiluo's recent complaint, Li Boyang's lips curled into a faint smile.

"The legendary Ninth Heaven, the true abode of the Heavenly Emperor."

"I never imagined that the mysterious Ninth Heaven would be a man-made Yin World."

As Li Boyang finished speaking...

The mortal body of the Heavenly Emperor suddenly let out a mournful cry.

Immediately afterwards, a Yin World completely equivalent to the Heavenly Emperor's Capital slowly emerged and overlapped with the entire Guixu.

That is the Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Emperor's Capital — the Supreme Heaven, Heaven of Crimson Radiance and Harmonious Yang!

At the same time, Li Boyang's Heavenly Eye once again demonstrated its ability to see into the heavens and the netherworld, thoroughly understanding the essence of the Guixu.

The Heavenly Emperor from ten thousand years ago possessed ambitions far beyond what mortals could imagine.

He built the Heavenly Emperor's Capital at the height of his reign not simply to demonstrate his prestige and Divine Power.

Although the Heavenly Emperor was not a seeker of the Dao like Li Boyang.

But out of fear of death, the Heavenly Emperor had already made various attempts.

Hunting down the reincarnation of the Netherworld Lord is one such attempt.

Creating a world that belongs solely to oneself is another approach.

The second to Eighth Heaven of the Heavenly Emperor's Capital each possess their own mysteries.

Ultimately, however, it was merely a failed attempt by the Heavenly Emperor, a path that had already been confirmed as a dead end.

The First Heaven is different from the Ninth Heaven.

That was the true path to heaven that consumed the Heavenly Emperor's energy and remained unfinished even after his death.

The First Heaven is modeled after the Yang World and is the material foundation of everything that constitutes the Guixu.

The Ninth Heaven is modeled after the Yin World, the other side of the Guixu, and a spiritual dimension that is completely opposite to the material world.

When the Yin World and the Yang World overlap, when the boundary between life and death is broken.

Tumultuous!

Li Boyang, who had personally orchestrated all of this, slowly stood up and dispelled the [Heaven and Earth Black and Yellow Exquisite Pagoda] composed of Black and Yellow Qi.

Then, Li Boyang opened his mouth and exhaled the Yin and Yang energies.

The yin and yang energies surged into the sky and expanded rapidly, transforming in the blink of an eye into a [Taiji Diagram] that blotted out the sky.

The Taiji Diagram balances Yin and Yang, and the world seems to return to tranquility at this moment.

However, in the eight directions of Guixu, there are the eight corners of the outer edge of the [Taiji Diagram].

The pattern symbolizing the "Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams" gradually emerged, presenting a model of the endless cycle and continuous generation of all things.

"Qian 1, Dui 2, Li 3, Zhen 4, Xun 5, Kan 6, Gen 7, Kun 8..."

The eight trigrams and the number Dui represent the pairing of Yin and Yang.

This was the first time Li Boyang had unleashed such a large-scale [Two Aspects Eight Trigrams Grand Formation].

Compared to the previous refinements of the [Mutton-Fat Jade Purifying Vase] and the [Sea-Calming Divine Treasure]...

This [Two Aspects Eight Trigrams Grand Formation] uses the world as its array diagram and the eight trigrams representing Heaven, Earth, Thunder, Mountain, Fire, Water, Lake, and Wind as its derivatives.

Both in terms of the scope of its impact and the complexity of its effects, it is far more significant than the previous two instances.

--Tai Taiji Diagram - The Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams Grand Formation!

At the same time, above the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Xiluo and Heaven-Eroding Lord had barely recovered their senses when the [Heaven and Earth Ring] unfolded above their heads once again.

Thus, everyone witnessed the scene of earth, fire, water, and wind raging on the other side of the [Heaven and Earth Ring].

Strangely, everyone's current perspective is not that of someone inside the Guixu.

It was as if one were in the void, examining the illusion that symbolized the "Heavenly Emperor's Capital" from the perspective of the Creator.

What is he doing!?

In the Heaven-Eroding Lord's incredulous gaze, the bubble turned from illusion to reality.

In an instant, a furnace that seemed to melt the heavens and earth took shape at the other end of the [Heaven and Earth Ring].

--Using the Guixu as a furnace, one refines all things into elixir.

The furnace resembled the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron Imprisoned Soul Cauldron Flying Peak, but it was far more complex.

Inside, there are the Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams and Earth, Thunder and Mountain, Fire and Water, Lake and Wind, which form a self-contained system and cycle endlessly.

Externally, twelve complete Maxims Talismans appear and disappear, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth to bless and transform oneself.

Most importantly, this furnace is different from the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron.

Its bottom is constantly burning with an inextinguishable, blazing fire.

The flames were taken from the remains of the Heavenly Emperor; they were the flames of the most powerful Sun God from ten thousand years ago.

It then incorporated Li Boyang's essence, energy, and spirit to refine it into a samadhi, a flame that lives like life itself.

"Samadhi True Fire..."

Just then, Xiluo, who was equally shocked by the furnace, noticed the inextinguishable true fire.

Xiluo had heard Li Boyang say long ago that living beings are entities composed of essence, energy, and spirit.

If flames were given their own unique spirit and energy, could they also be considered living beings?

Going even further, could a flame possessing essence, energy, and spirit be considered another form of Innate Deity?

To her utter surprise, Li Boyang actually created this so-called [Samadhi True Fire], and it was even created using the remains of the Heavenly Emperor.

Boom!

Just as everyone was in shock, another loud bang came from the sky.

The next moment, Li Boyang appeared out of thin air, carrying the huge furnace, and slowly walked out of the [Heaven and Earth Ring].

In the dim light, Xiluo seemed to be able to see all living beings inside that huge furnace, a scene that was clearly a world of its own.

However, that world was a world of fire, a world completely controlled by Li Boyang, the "creator".
