Chapter 706: Chapter 700 Xuantian Immortal Treasure! Destruction Judgment!_1

Re-refine the Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure?!

This news was exhilarating.

The Lingbao Sect was renowned for its Spiritual Treasures. However, since its founding ancestor, no one had been able to refine a Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, a regrettable fact. Jia Ren and the Artifact Refiners of the Lingbao Sect had attempted countless methods but ultimately fell short. With the Great Dao crumbled and the Laws gone, the Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure had become a legend of the past.

Could Sky Treasure Blood defy the heavens and change fate, creating an unparalleled Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure?!

The Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower had yet to ascend to the status of an Immortal Treasure. This was solely because the Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure and the Immortal Treasure were advancing side by side, destined to become the unique and unmatched Xuantian Immortal Treasure.

This was the opportunity he had long awaited; success or failure hinged on this moment!

The True Spirit-level Golden Crow Feathers, Phoenix Feathers, and Vermilion Bird Feathers were retrieved, an invisible force keeping them suspended in mid-air. Over 2,500 years had passed since Mou Tianyuan’s demise, and the Yang Anode Blood Essence Pills had provided an unceasing supply, enhancing the innate potential of the Divine Beasts. Assisted by True Spirit blood of the same origin, their own bloodlines underwent a complete transformation. Several Divine Beasts successfully evolved, achieving the True Spirit Level.

Using these three True Spirit materials, six types of pre-prepared Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Materials, and the essence of an Immortal Treasure, Jia Ren aimed to forge an unprecedented Xuantian Immortal Treasure!

"Come! Success or failure lies in this one action!"

The Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower pulsed with vast and surging Heavenly Treasure Spirit Power. Although this power had suppressed his cultivation progress, the tower had not stopped transforming Heavenly Treasure Spirit Power. Over two millennia, it had only absorbed and transformed a portion of this energy in the initial stages; the rest had accumulated within. The Heavenly Treasure Spirit Power stored inside was terrifyingly immense, as vast as an ocean.

"Heaven-Earth Melting Furnace!"

A massive torrent of nature’s spiritual energy converged from all directions, coalescing into a furnace tens of thousands of feet tall, seemingly capable of incinerating the heavens and melting the earth.

"Flames, converge!"

A golden-red Golden Crow Fire emerged in Jia Ren’s palm. It detached and flew beneath the Heaven-Earth Melting Furnace. With his Golden Crow Essence Blood having reached the True Spirit Level, the flame’s power far surpassed ordinary fires.

This was not his strongest flame. The combination of Southern Ming Separation Fire, Phoenix Fire, and Golden Crow Fire possessed a terrifying might capable of incinerating anything. However, although this combined flame was immensely powerful, it was unsuitable for Artifact Refining. The Golden Crow Fire, more so than the Southern Ming Separation Fire and the Phoenix Fire, was best suited for Alchemy and Artifact Refining. This made it the ideal flame for forging the Xuantian Immortal Treasure. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

The flames ignited the Heaven-Earth Melting Furnace, as if a blazing sun had plunged into it, transforming it into the Great Sun Furnace. Blocks of Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Materials and their corresponding auxiliary materials were continuously thrown into the furnace for refinement. The Great Sun Furnace seemed to contain a sun. Inscriptions continually appeared within it, growing from vague to clear. The Golden Crow Flame scorched the materials, etching each Inscription into them.

The Heaven-reaching Refiners watched, bewildered. They had collaborated with the Grand Elder in Refining Treasures many times but had never witnessed this Artifact Refining method.

Is this a unique Method Gate created by the Grand Elder?!

Indeed, it was. He had always referred to others’ Refinement Experiences, but these ultimately did not fully harmonize with the Golden Crow Fire.

What suited oneself was the best!

Jia Ren, drawing on his Refinement Experience, improved and innovated an Artifact Refining Method Gate specific to the Golden Crow Fire: the Great Sun Furnace Refining Technique. The Golden Crow’s Great Sun generated Inscriptions, imprinting them onto the artifact materials. The Golden Crow Fire then burned to deepen these Inscriptions until they became one with the materials. This method was highly efficient and less prone to error, far superior to any known Refining Technique. The efficiency of refining and Inscription engraving far exceeded their understanding; this Treasure Refining Method was extraordinary.

The six types of Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Materials, along with the Phoenix Feathers, Golden Crow Feathers, and Vermilion Bird Feathers, were processed using a similar method. The molten Spiritual Liquid churned within the furnace, gathering under an invisible force. Each type of refined material had different Inscriptions etched upon it; only when combined did they form a complete assembly.

"Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower!"

The Artifact Refining was nearing its end; it was time for the main component to appear! Before Refining Treasures, the Bizarre Demons had been sent to a different location for sealing, ensuring no risk of errors during the tower’s re-refinement.

The pitch-black tower body flew into the Heaven-Earth Melting Furnace, instantly enveloped by a black liquid. When all the black liquid vanished from the furnace, only a black tower sheathed in this liquid remained. The liquid, aggressive as a living creature, slowly penetrated the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower.

The Golden Crow Fire descended into the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower, no longer wild but much gentler. The essence of the Immortal Treasure dropped into the Golden Crow Fire. New Inscriptions, tinged with a faint golden hue, emerged from the flames. The Inscriptions of the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower comprised an inner and outer layer, both unfathomably intricate. They were flawless, captivating the assembled Artifact Refiners.

Ostensibly, this was Jia Ren’s first time refining the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower, but that was not the case. The Mimicry Phantom Body had mimicked numerous Wish Slaves, and the Wishing Wheel had created the materials for the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower. Apart from the Sky Treasure Blood, everything else was available. This set of Inscriptions had been optimized many times, approaching perfection.

Many unnecessary components within the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower were removed, and new power settled in, initiating a transformation from the inside out. A second set of Inscriptions was etched into it, followed by the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower’s transformation process.

The transformation lasted a hundred years. The Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower gradually grew still, with no hint of light emanating from within. Jia Ren then took out the Sky Treasure Blood, reigniting the blood fire, which marked the final step. Like the finishing touch that brings a painted dragon to life, the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower began to reveal its miraculous nature. It trembled continuously as wisps and rays of profound light burst forth, creating a splendor of luminescence. The invisible Power of Laws began to stir, seemingly forming within the tower.

The emergence of these Laws touched upon unknown prohibitions, causing the heavens and earth to tremble incessantly.

Above, vast tribulation clouds gathered, forming a thick Heavenly Tribulation.

"The treasure isn’t even finished yet, so why has the Heavenly Tribulation already arrived?!"

"Such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation aura! Even the Ninefold Celestial Tribulation the Grand Elder underwent can’t compare!"

The layers of tribulation clouds were a deep black, with faint black lightning flickering within. Its breadth astonishingly reached 30,000 li, and this was not the end—the tribulation clouds continued to expand, reaching 50,000 li! The range kept expanding, with the Mysterious Realm’s spiritual energy and the tribulation’s energy all converging here, as if to swallow all available power. The Scourge concentrated all its power, solely to destroy that which should not exist in this world.

Black demonic dragons condensed in the sky, transforming into snarling black dragons that swooped down.

BOOM!

The star screen formed by the Breath of Stars Barrier was struck heavily, its light dimming alarmingly by a third.

"Something’s wrong! The Breath of Stars Barrier failed?!"

The cultivators of the Lingbao Sect were incredulous. The Breath of Stars Barrier had created too many miracles, and they had believed it would prevent the Heavenly Tribulation from arriving prematurely. Now, the Nine Heavens Star Luo Formation had failed! Everyone racked their brains but could not understand what went wrong. Some even personally inspected the Formation, only to find no errors.

"What kind of Heavenly Tribulation is this?!"

Tian Lingzi searched his memories of Heavenly Tribulations recorded by the Lingbao Sect, but found nothing. In the past, when the founding ancestor refined a Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, the Heavenly Tribulation was not much different from those for Immortal Treasures; it certainly wasn’t this terrifying.

This is more like... Heaven and Earth aiming solely to destroy this treasure.

Pure destruction, leaving no chance of survival, is very much like the Scourge that only appears in legends...

Jia Ren also realized this Heavenly Tribulation was extraordinary and immediately communicated with Jin Sheng. The ancestral memory of a Divine Beast is vast and boundless, containing knowledge of many secrets unknown to others. Perhaps Jin Sheng would know what this was.

Jin Sheng did not disappoint, hastily replying, "Scourge!"

"The Great Dao does not tolerate such heaven-defying abominations! It must destroy them!"

"What descends is the Scourge!"

"In ancient times, only a sin that annihilated an entire realm would incur the Scourge."

"I never imagined the Scourge would be invoked for a single magical treasure..."

"The might of the Scourge exceeds the power limits of the corresponding world, signifying that the target’s existence absolutely cannot be tolerated."

"If the target does not perish, the Scourge will not cease!"

Jin Sheng revealed much about the Scourge; it was far more perilous than any Heavenly Tribulation. One might hope to transcend a Heavenly Tribulation, but the Scourge... none survived! The Scourge’s might far exceeded that of a Heavenly Tribulation. The Nine Heavens Star Luo Formation, despite its power, had its limits and could not shield against it.

"Master, you should give up this treasure," Jin Sheng pleaded, his voice laced with dread. "Do not let a single treasure lead to your death and the annihilation of your Dao!"

The Scourge signified an impossible situation. Forcibly intervening would mean destruction alongside the target, with no possibility of survival.

Give up the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower?!

The Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower was his Lifebound Spirit Treasure, his companion to this day; they prospered together and suffered together. The Heavenly Treasure Spirit Cultivation Technique had deepened the connection with his Lifebound Spirit Treasure, making it far more important to him than for other cultivators. If his Lifebound Spirit Treasure were damaged, over two thousand years of his cultivation accumulation would be in vain. Progress on the Great Dao would become difficult, and he would likely make no further advancement in this life.

The Scourge aims to destroy the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower; this is obstructing my Way!

Some things can be endured by stepping back, but on certain matters, not even half a step can be conceded!

Others might not be able to contend with the Scourge, but Jia Ren possessed a unique advantage and could at least try.

Most of the Mysterious Realm’s nature’s spiritual energy gathered because of me, and the Scourge wants to use it against me?!

Jia Ren didn’t know to what extent the Scourge would reach; at most, it could mobilize all the forces of the Mysterious Realm against him.

As long as I do everything to reduce the Scourge’s might, how could it remain arrogant once deprived of its power, no matter how formidable? So, the best solution to the Scourge is... to reclaim the nature’s spiritual energy sent to the Mysterious Realm, severing the Scourge’s source of power!

In doing so, the upper limit of the Scourge’s power would be weakened, possibly even rendered harmless.

As this thought occurred to Jia Ren, his eyes brightened.

All these ideas flashed through his mind in an instant. He didn’t directly counter the Scourge right away but began to make preparations. The Breath of Stars Barrier, relying on many years of accumulation, could still withstand a few bolts of lightning.

"Thirteenth Layer Dusk Treasured Light!"

Jia Ren was surrounded by a halo of treasured light, 104 streaks in total, so numerous they dazzled the eyes. For the same Divine Skill, the difficulty of casting it multiple times and stacking the effects differs. Stacking was more challenging. The Law of Heaven and Earth was an example, capable of being stacked up to three times. Dusk Treasured Light did not require forcibly compressing all the treasured light into eight streams, so the difficulty was considerably less. Only with the Realm of the Thirteen Derivation Hearts could he achieve such an astonishing performance.

"I will take back what belongs to me!"

"Don’t think you can use the nature’s spiritual energy I brought against me?!"

As soon as the 104 streaks of Dusk Treasured Light appeared, they devoured nature’s spiritual energy at an astonishing rate, leaving no trace of it wherever they passed. The pace at which the Scourge plundered nature’s spiritual energy was immediately curbed. Dusk Treasured Light then targeted the Scourge itself, beginning to seize spiritual energy from within its tribulation clouds.
