Chapter 1390: Desiring to Become a Overlord, Start with the Furnace

The Grand Dao Eight Trigrams Furnace site is considered one of the oldest and most powerful locations in the entire Yang Realm, the fabled heavens and underworld, and the Great Netherworld. Its wonders are boundless.

Whoever can revive from the fire and achieve nirvana in the flames might one day attain eternal immortality, becoming a true overlord of all ages!

In that companion furnace, besides the monkey's howling, there was also a woman's voice. It was his sister, Mi Qing. Her voice was relatively low and soft, as she endured the pain, unlike her brother, who was wailing and weeping uncontrollably.

"I don't want to live anymore," the monkey cried. "I might as well season myself with salt and pepper and eat myself. This isn't suffering that a living being can endure. My soul light broke free, and I saw my own brain cooked through!"

The monkey's cries made people want to laugh and feel horrified at the same time, their hair standing on end.

While a dish called 'monkey brain' exists in the world, particularly the brain of a spirit monkey, which is considered a powerful elixir, various races only ever thought about it; no one dared to eat the brain of a Six-Eared Macaque.

But now, with the monkey himself crying out such things, the scene was truly bizarre and chilling.

"Senior," someone finally asked, "could you give us a chance? Would you allow us to enter a companion furnace as well?"

Someone finally couldn't help themselves, transmitting a message into the depths of the forbidden zone, asking the Fire Spirit to give everyone a fair chance to refine their true selves in the companion furnaces.

The Six-Eared Macaque siblings had obtained such a great fortune merely with a letter, which was truly enviable. Some powerful clans wished to enter, which was why someone made this request.

After a brief silence, a very ancient voice came from the end of the forbidden zone, saying, "After waiting so long, is there really no one who dares to enter the main furnace? Is there no one among you who can control this furnace?"

He was very disappointed, as he wanted to find a genius in domain arts. But now, no one dared to enter, not even daring to try.

Everyone fell silent. Knowing it was certain death, who would be a fool and sacrifice themselves for nothing, turning into ash?

After waiting for a moment, no one spoke.

Even Chu Feng frowned, unwilling to express his stance easily. He was still studying the main furnace, as effective action was worth more than any words.

"Very well, you may go to the companion furnaces then!" The ancient Fire Spirit allowed others to enter.

There were a total of twelve companion furnaces, and the Fire Spirit stipulated that each clan could only occupy one furnace!

The Six-Eared Macaque clan had already entered a furnace, so that one was clearly off-limits.

Evidently, other clans would need to compete, wage war, and display their domain arts to contend for the remaining eleven heavenly furnaces. This was the Fire Spirit's requirement.

Upon hearing this, the Yuan clan turned and left immediately, heading directly to seize a companion furnace.

This clan proceeded too smoothly; no one dared to stop them. They were simply too strong. Who would dare to contend with them, and who could guarantee they could match their strength?

Even if the Dao and Buddhist clans were present, they would have to weigh their options. Ultimately, there was some apprehension.

After all, there were twelve companion furnaces in total, and other furnaces were available. No one was willing to clash fiercely with the Yuan clan.

The next moment, members of another clan strode forward, still unopposed. They were a race from the heavens above, and some of them had also come here to compete for the opportunity.

"Can you do it? Can you enter the main furnace?" At this moment, the silver-haired youth from the Xuanhuang clan asked.

"Not yet," Chu Feng replied, "I'm still studying it."

The silver-haired youth remained as aloof as ever, saying, "Do you really think you can conquer it in a short time? How could that be? That idea is terribly foolish! Never mind, come with us. We'll take you into one of the companion furnaces!"

Chu Feng wanted to punch him. It was clearly a good intention, but as soon as the white-haired youth spoke, the meaning completely changed.

Although he was inviting Chu Feng, offering to take him into a furnace and giving him an opportunity, Chu Feng still wanted to spit in the silver-haired youth's face.

He decisively refused, stating that he still needed to study the area.

"Foolish, suit yourself!" The silver-haired youth led his team away.

"You're infuriating!" Chu Feng wanted to utter these words, but he managed to hold back in the end. He truly couldn't stand the other party's way of dealing with people.

The elder from the Xuanhuang clan also invited Chu Feng, but was similarly refused. The elder patted his shoulder and then left as well.

Similarly, no one obstructed the Xuanhuang Human King clan; no one competed with them. They smoothly secured a companion furnace.

The twelve small furnaces, some made of stone, some simple and unadorned, some sparkling like cast jade, and some polished like metal, were all distinct and very special. Some spouted five-colored flames, others flowed with rainbow mists, and all were accompanied by chaotic energy, which was truly astonishing.

Soon, everyone rushed over to compete for the remaining companion furnaces.

At the main furnace, only Chu Feng remained, still studying it. He was unwilling to give up and indeed wanted to enter this ancient furnace, which had a fearsome reputation throughout the heavens.

Almost instantly, shouts of battle shook the sky, blood splattered, and a great battle erupted. Everyone wanted to secure a spot, unwilling to miss such an opportunity.

However, even if they secured a spot, how many could guarantee they would endure and not be burned to ash by the companion furnaces?

Yet, even knowing this, everyone rushed in without hesitation, wanting to occupy a furnace first. Who would pass up the opportunity to forge an invincible body in the Grand Dao Eight Trigrams Furnace, a legend that had been passed down for eons?

At this moment, some members of the Yuan clan unleashed a magnetic marrow bell, raising a curtain of light. This had already stabilized the companion furnace they occupied, and some were about to begin refining their bodies and souls.

However, suddenly, the clan's Quasi-Heavenly Venerable gazed in one direction, a surprised expression on his face. He had sensed a unique aura.

"A familiar aura?!" He was full of doubt and surprise.

Just then, someone stepped forward, leading a group into the area.

"The years are peaceful, the spirit serene, the heart has become a Buddha, become an immortal, but none of that compares to time flowing backward, returning to my true nature!"

It was a young man who appeared handsome with clear eyes and brows, red lips and white teeth. His appearance was remarkably ethereal; his entire being was enveloped in a faint halo, giving him a transcendent aura.

"Ancient Great Sage!" The Yuan clan's Quasi-Heavenly Venerable exclaimed.

The 'ancient' he spoke of was by no means the 'ancient' referred to by mortals; it pointed to a vastly distant past, an extremely long time ago, to the powerful and sagely figures of that era!

"You're mistaken. I am merely a Divine King," the young man said, glancing at him directly.

However, the Yuan clan's Quasi-Heavenly Venerable felt that he absolutely couldn't be mistaken. After all, he had cultivated a Heavenly Eye and could see that this was the very person from back then, who had once been terrifyingly boundless.

But why had this person become a youth? Had he reverted to youth? His soul light imprint showed no trace of agedness or vicissitude, but was instead vibrantly youthful?

Subsequently, the Yuan clan's expert saw an elder beside the young man. That elder was a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable and an acquaintance. In his youth, he had shared an extraordinary friendship with the Yuan clan's Quasi-Heavenly Venerable.

"Brother Mo, you're here too? How have you been?!" The Yuan clan's Quasi-Heavenly Venerable greeted him, becoming even more certain of the young man's terrifying identity, to the point that he required his old friend's companionship.

Because his old friend, the Quasi-Heavenly Venerable named Mo, was very respectful towards the young man.

"Brother Yuan, it's been since ancient times that we last met. Time spares no one. It's truly good that we are both well!" Across from him, the elder named Mo smiled and greeted the Yuan clan's Quasi-Heavenly Venerable.

At this moment, many people realized which clan had arrived!

In this Yang Realm, there was perhaps only one Mo family that even the Yuan clan held in high regard: the Human King Mo family!

Among the Human King clans that still existed in the world and were still prosperous, there were only a few. Aside from the Xuanhuang clan, there was also the Human King Mo clan!

Chu Feng also realized which clan had arrived. He had had intense conflicts with this clan, and the enmity was great.

Back then, at the Heaven-Reaching Immortal Waterfall, he had killed Mo Feng and Mo Lei, two brothers from the Human King clan. After that, he was wanted by the Mo family throughout the world.

Fortunately, the strange dragon, Long Dayu, took the blame for him, which resulted in Chu Feng being relatively safer, while Long Dayu was hunted throughout the world.

"This is the Human King clan with whom I am destined to be in conflict!" Chu Feng secretly became vigilant.

"Brother Mo, could you do me a favor?" The Yuan clan's Quasi-Heavenly Venerable asked publicly.

"What is it, Brother Yuan?" the elder asked.

"Help me kill this young man, or suppress him will do!" the Yuan clan's Quasi-Heavenly Venerable said. He knew that the Mo family possessed a treasure that specialized in locking onto people's soul light, making it impossible to effectively escape, whether soaring to the heavens or burrowing into the earth. Their figure would be locked.

"He's just a human, it's easy enough," the Mo family elder said with a smile. "Which human in this world dares to disobey a King? I believe he will be obedient and apologize to you."

Then, he looked at Chu Feng and smiled faintly, saying, "Young man, I won't harm your life. Go apologize to the Yuan clan."

"On what grounds?!" Upon hearing this, Chu Feng's eyes flashed with cold light, and killing intent surged.

"Is it enough that I come from the Human King clan?" the elder chuckled, fixing his gaze on Chu Feng. "When a Human King's decree is issued, will you defy and resist it?"

"Whose King are you? Whose side are you on? Get lost!" Chu Feng retorted without mercy.

At the same time, his killing intent was boundless, and he decided to hold nothing back. It was time to act!

"Heh, do you know who you're talking to?" the elder said, his eyes narrowed. "Since ancient times, all human factions bow when they see a Human King. You are truly disrespectful!"

A surge of killing intent emanated from him.

As for the young man beside him, he remained smiling, the presumed ancient great sage making no statement.

"At this moment," Chu Feng said coldly, "I am about to go on a killing spree. Perhaps I have comprehended the mysteries of the Grand Dao Eight Trigrams Main Furnace, and need to use blood as a guide for sacrifice. I'll use you all as sacrifices for the furnace!"
