Chapter 776: Rank 8 Xiao Huo

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Heaven & Earth Furnace’s explosion was comparable to the nuclear bombing of an entire island. All immortal beasts in the Nine-Heaven Realm scattered away in fright and the birds all flew away. Even in the faraway immortal prison, where the interior was dark and gloomy with the daylight from its corridor as the only source of light, the place was brightly illuminated.

“What happened?”

“It’s such a huge commotion. Could it be the immortal devouring beast?”

The immortals in prison who didn’t choose to leave with Lin Jin were frightened. Yet, no matter how curious they were, they dared not go outside to check.

Meanwhile, the immortals who were persuaded by Lin Jin and Tianzun to leave had flown far away. But even after traveling a few hundred miles away, the great explosion still affected them, burning their hair and robes. Fortunately, they were far enough so the damages were minimal, and they experienced no serious injuries.

After getting up from the ground, they quickly hid under a large rock.

“What horrifying strength.” The old soldier laid on the ground to catch his breath. His pet beast was right by his side to protect him but still, the heat felt unbearable.

“It must be Appraiser Lin’s pet beast. How scary. This might be even stronger than Tianzun’s green dragon.”

“Appraiser Lin is a mortal but his pet beast had actually reached unfettered immortal level. That’s incredible.”

“But this commotion is too huge. They didn’t destroy the Heaven & Earth Furnace, did they?” an immortal guessed. Another immortal retorted saying it was impossible.

“The Heaven & Earth Furnace is a divine item that Tianzun spent about a hundred thousand years crafting. Nothing in this world can destroy it,” an immortal said firmly.

Right after he said that, a fireball fell from the sky, crashing down about ten thousand feet from where they were. The impact and energy wave pushed them back, and if it weren’t for the large rock and their pet beasts, this energy wave would have killed half of them.

“What is that?”

“It looks like something fell. Let’s go and take a look.”

“Be careful!”

They waited a short while before carefully going over. What lay ahead was a massive crater and the earth around the area had melted away. With embers littered everywhere, the area looked disastrous.

Something had stuck into the ground in the middle of the crater. It was still burning in flames, and upon looking closer, they saw that it was a huge golden metal piece with a thickness exceeding eight feet.

“What is this? It looks rather familiar,” someone asked.

Then, someone else recognized it.

“T-this is a fragment of the Heaven & Earth Furnace!”

Everyone gasped.

They had just been discussing whether the Heaven & Earth Furnace would explode and someone had doubted it, thinking that such a divine creation couldn’t be destroyed nor was it possible for anyone to destroy it.

Yet, this slap to the face came so soon.

A large fragment of the furnace had fallen right before their eyes. When they looked up, they saw a meteor shower above, which was probably fragments of the furnace as well, amounting to thousands of pieces.

This was proof that the Heaven & Earth Furnace had been shattered into billions of pieces.

The group was frightened. There were only two instances where the Heaven & Earth Furnace would be destroyed. Either the immortal devouring beast returned and attacked the furnace, because only this creature was mighty enough to destroy a divine creation, or it was the doing of Appraiser Lin’s pet beast.

Meanwhile, Lin Jin was being shielded by a layer of blood while Tianzun’s green fish had created a water barrier to protect its owner. Both men had been in the closest proximity but neither were hurt.

The massive planet-sized furnace was gone without a trace, leaving only a huge beast with flames burning on its body.

It had the shape of a wolf but with two heads, two hind legs, and four front legs. Its body was massive beyond measure, giving off an oppressive aura.

In terms of strength, after his successful evolution, Xiao Huo had clearly exceeded Tianzun’s green fish even in the its dragon form. He was only slightly inferior to the immortal devouring beast now.

The strength improvement from Rank 7 to Rank 8 had exceeded the improvement of all ranks before. Lin Jin’s heart raced.

Perhaps it was a unique sense conveyed by Xiao Huo after his advancement, Lin Jin now knew that the immortal devouring beast had noticed the incident here and was on its way.

If they didn’t want to face the immortal devouring beast now, it was best to escape immediately.

Lin Jin told Tianzun about it and the two quickly left without hesitation.

Through Lin Jin’s control, Xiao Huo reverted back to his usual size and entered Lin Jin’s body.

Before they left, Tianzun took his pill ocean along with them. The pill ocean was still very useful so he mustn’t lose it.

Shortly after they left, the immortal devouring beast arrived. But Lin Jin and Tianzun had used spells to conceal their aura, and since they weren’t immortals either, the immortal devouring beast couldn’t find them.

At the extraterritorial land, the silence around the dangerous plasma pool was once again destroyed.

Two silhouettes appeared in the now-empty plasma pond.

These silhouettes belonged to the Beast Deity Cult’s leader and Patriarch Xue Pao. After being defeated at Daluo Temple, they had been hiding in a secluded place to cultivate and also gather information.

They knew about Jade Dragon Kingdom’s advancement to premium country status and that Daluo Temple had gotten a new abbot. However, they stopped reacting recklessly.

After all, they didn’t have much confidence in winning against Lin Jin right now, particularly after they learned that Daluo Temple’s new abbot was a profound immortal. It was the renowned Inferno Monk, and that further frightened them.

Neither of them knew the specifics and assumed that Lin Jin had mastered a technique similar to their black clouds, allowing him to block off immortal aura. Hence, they didn’t want to make any careless moves.

Their mastery over Hell’s Cage had improved too and could now cover a wider area with their black clouds, though it wasn’t enough to engulf an entire country yet. Both of them felt they were lacking strength so they wanted to find help.

But how?

The cult leader may not have any ideas but cunning old Patriarch Xue Pao did.

He knew about the extraterritorial land and the fact that Lin Jin had visited this place before, even gaining enemies in the process.

So they came here to investigate, and they learned of Yan Shenjun’s existence. They coincidentally found out that Yan Shenjun and his group had possibly been buried under this plasma pool so they came to take a look.

“Yan Shenjun was a profound immortal too. It’s such a pity he died.. Otherwise, he’d surely be willing to team up with us to defeat Lin Jin,” Patriarch Xue Pao said through gritted teeth.
