Chapter 1409: Furnace Giving Birth to Great Dao
“Little brat, you are quite powerful.” The Ruler’s avatar smiled brightly.
But at this moment, Gentle Spread Saint felt as if he was experiencing his worst nightmare.
“No!”
His eyes widened as he shrieked, his face filled with fear.
It was not that he had not seen Rulers before. They indeed possessed incredibly strong Divine Ways, but he never reached such a realm.
After taking back half of his life from Gentle Smoke Saint, he regained the power that belonged to him. When the powers of two ancient True Saints merged, although it was not able to help him break through and reach the Ruler realm, his powers had increased by at least one fold.
But even if a Ruler took action, they would not be able to easily push him to the brink…who was this woman?!
Gentle Spread Saint could not understand and he had no time to think about it. The spiderweb of cracks that had spread outwards around him was suddenly shrinking.
It was as if a terrifying energy had appeared around the perimeter and was forcefully restricting its expansion and causing it to shrink.
Gentle Spread Saint could see all these and feel the destruction force from the cracks in the air. He growled and struggled with all his might. However, it was as if he had been locked to the spot and could not dodge.
Hence, he could only watch as the cracks shrunk and edged closer and closer to him until it entered his body. His entire body was torn to pieces and fell to the ground in a heap.
The three Saints paled as their eyes filled with horror and despair. When the Ruler’s avatar looked over, they fell to the ground with a ‘plop’. “Master, we were in the wrong. Please forgive us. We are willing to do anything for you!”
The Ruler’s avatar smiled, lighting up her features, “Okay, since you all offered, then give yourselves up.”
Boom –
A huge force fell on the three Saints. It was extremely frightening and a dark red erupted like a flower blooming.
Under their despair, the three Saints lost all resistance and were killed on the spot!
Close Saint, the Xu brothers, Wind, Cloud, Rain Saints…six ancient True Saints. They had lived for an incredibly long time and they could even face a Ruler…
But today, when they faced an incomplete Ruler’s avatar, who was still quite different from a Ruler, they were all miserably killed. None of them put up much of a resistance.
Hoo. Perhaps the only battle scar was on the Ruler’s avatar’s palm, the scar that was rapidly healing.
She turned and looked at Soft Peach. She narrowed her eyes, “I feel that you are not afraid. Why?”
Soft Peach was calm as she stood in a corner of the main hall. Right from the beginning, she had stood there and watched like an emotionless bystander. From the start till the end, her expression did not change.
As she heard this, she took a slow step out and said, “Because we are alike.”
The Ruler’s avatar laughed lightly, “Really? Maybe. But if you think you can survive just because of this, aren’t you too optimistic?”
Soft Peach shook her head, “I have never been an optimistic person. On the contrary, this world is extremely difficult and the only way to survive is to work hard. I am not afraid because compared to using these people to form a physical body, I am a better choice.”
Pausing, she said, “Using their power as the source, it can combine us and we will be reborn as one…this is your best option.”
The Ruler’s avatar fell silent for a while before she sneered, “What if I reject you?”
Soft Peach said, “You can try to kill me but you may not get the result you want.”
Silence.
The two women looked at each other and the entire atmosphere was extremely silent. This silence gave an extremely distorted feeling.
It was like the air on top of a volcano crater, twisting and warping in the heat, as if it could erupt at any moment and destroy everything.
Laughter broke the silence as the Ruler’s avatar reached out, “I promise you.”
Soft Peach nodded, “Trust me, this is the right choice.”
Piak –
The two clean, white and slender palms touched each other.
Within the Inextinguishable Flame, the vibrantly colored palace changed as the two held hands.
Boom boom –
A low rumble could be heard like a river gushing through. The light rays started to dance frantically.
……
The swallowing of the Inextinguishable Flame was at its end.
At this current speed, Qin Yu would be able to retreat in a few more minutes.
But at this moment, his face shifted. The horrifying black hole that he felt suddenly changed.
It was cryptic and unclear, it was like…the black hole was giving birth to something!
Qin Yu did not know what this meant, but fear filled him and it felt like this had something to do with him.
For no reason, Soft Peach’s figure appeared in his mind, and instinct told Qin Yu that this fear has something to do with her.
Leave!
He had to leave as fast as possible.
Qin Yu growled, “Faster, even faster!”
Perhaps it was because the furnace, Stone Pagoda and Fire Spirit could sense the change in the atmosphere somewhere deep beyond the Inextinguishable Flame, when they heard Qin Yu, the fire column expanded once more.
The remaining Inextinguishable Flame was rapidly decreasing at a speed visible to the eye. Slowly, the palace that had been hidden within it started to appear.
The unease he felt grew even stronger. If not for the fact that the furnace had to swallow all the Inextinguishable Flame in order to successfully transform, he would have stopped the entire thing and left.
In order to save himself, giving up some rewards was something any rational person would do.
But at this point, he was just one step away from success. The furnace was not willing to leave and Qin Yu would not want to either.
But as the seconds passed, each one felt longer than the previous.
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
As the Inextinguishable Flame grew lesser, the palace grew clearer.
Qin Yu could clearly see the whirlpool that was spinning on the surface of the palace. It was like a huge mouth absorbing all the light. As it spun, it emitted a horrifying energy and caused cracks to appear on the surface of the palace.
His pupils shrunk and instinct told Qin Yu that the fear he was feeling was because of this whirlpool.
In the next moment, a horrifying existence will step out of the whirlpool!
Boom boom boom –
The last bit of the Inextinguishable Flame was absorbed by the furnace.
Stone Pagoda shouted, “Master, let’s go!” He had very sharp senses and since Qin Yu could sense the fear, Stone Pagoda naturally sensed it too.
Qin Yu reached out and was about to grab Stone Pagoda to leave but his expression changed.
An accident had occurred!
He was unable to store the furnace. It was not because the furnace was rebelling but some unknown energy was forcing it to stay behind.
Qin Yu could sense the furnace panicking and how it shivered slightly, as if suffering some unending pain.
Don’t panic!
Taking a deep breath, Qin Yu suppressed the shock he had and concentrated on communicating with the furnace. After a few moments, a strange expression appeared on his face.
Even though having these kinds of silly thoughts was crazy in a moment like this, he could not help it.
The furnace…the furnace…was about to…give birth…
Who can tell him what was going on? A furnace, even though it was a slightly powerful furnace, was it supposed to be able to give birth?
What was the furnace going to give birth to? A small furnace?
Buzz –
The furnace vibrated and Qin Yu could sense its anger.
“Cough!” Coughing lightly as he suppressed the hysterics he felt, Qin Yu spoke lowly, “Don’t hold it in, since it is going to come out, then hurry…let it out. We must leave immediately!”
Buzz –
The furnace vibrated. It did not agree. A furnace had its own pride too; how could it give birth?
Moreover, the furnace had always seen itself as a courageous male.
Qin Yu took a deep breath, “Stone Pagoda, Fire Spirit, hurry and force it to give birth!”
He did not bother to sugarcoat it. The whirlpool on the palace was spinning faster and faster. The thing in it was about to come out; there was no time to waste.
Stone Pagoda agreed.
Biting her lip, Fire Spirit looked unwilling. But as Qin Yu had ordered, she could not reject.
Buzz –
Buzz –
Buzz –
The furnace vibrated violently. However, with Stone Pagoda and Fire Spirit’s help, it could not stop the thing inside it from being ‘born’.
Woosh –
A light shone out from within the the furnace as it cried out in pain.
It was time!
Qin Yu reached out to grab them. The furnace had tears all over its face and looked as if it had no future.
He turned to leave but right at this moment, his face changed.
He looked up sharply as he stared at the ball of light that the furnace had ‘given birth’ to. He sensed the aura within it and his eyes shone.
This…this was…a Ruler’s aura!
No, more accurately, Qin Yu could sense a Great Dao that was shooting up to the heavens.
The Ruler’s Great Dao!
A thought flashed through his mind and Qin Yu suddenly recalled what the Ruler’s avatar had told him. There was something in the Inextinguishable Flame that was used to lure the West Desolate and that clan. It was what triggered her massacre sequence.
So the Ruler’s avatar had not been lying about this. The Inextinguishable Flame really had something worthy of luring the two clans.
It was the Ruler’s Great Dao!
But after confirming this point, Qin Yu thought that it was ridiculous.
It was obvious that the Ruler did not die. So where did this Ruler’s Great Dao come from?
Qin Yu did not think that one Great Dao could allow two people to become Rulers.
If it was the case, then the number of Rulers in this world would not be so little and everyone would not be fighting for the empty spot.
There was something wrong here!
Taking a deep breath, Qin Yu suppressed all his confused thoughts. No matter what the truth was, he knew that he had to leave now.
The Ruler’s Great Dao, with this chance right in front of him…he would regret for life if he did not take it!
Woosh –
Qin Yu shot to the sky and reached out to grab. A loud growl filled the air, “Get lost. The Ruler’s Imprint is mine!”
Boom –
An incredible force hit him and Qin Yu’s expression changed. He lifted his hand to defend against the loud sound and his whole body was forcefully pushed back.
That voice…it was the Scholartree Saint!
