C2056 The Pill Furnace's Flowing Flames

The deep crimson moon hung in the sky, casting its glow over the Dark Mountain as the spirits and ghosts scattered in all directions. The Tia Main Planet underwent a sudden transformation.

The Origin Blood and Origin Soul, with their respective powers, swiftly shifted the tide of battle. Cao Jiaze's spirituality began to show signs of disturbance, teetering on the brink of awakening due to the influence of the two extraordinary Origin Spirits.

Yu Yuan's ghostly divine form embarked on an advanced path akin to that of the main soul, thanks to the newly bestowed laws of the Origin Soul.

Simultaneously, the crimson armor, forged by the Heaven and Earth Furnace, underwent a dramatic change. Ancient alien beasts such as the phoenix, fire qilin, vermilion bird, and fiery dragon, briefly resurrected within the flame patterns only to burst into oblivion moments later. The crimson flame patterns were then abruptly filled with purple demonic energy.

A force that belonged to neither Yuan Lianyao nor the Extreme Flame began to grow slowly within the divine armor.

At the bottom of the burning pond, the purple sea of souls churned, and soul energy started to seep out. This escaping soul energy was being absorbed by the Heaven and Earth Furnace, integrating deep within it.

The Origin Soul, which had been eroded for untold years, seemed to stir back to life amidst the transformation of the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

Shortly after, a robust and hearty laugh echoed from the divine armor shaped by the Heaven and Earth Furnaces.

The laughter startled Yu Yuan and roused the bewildered Yuan Lianyao, prompting her soul to take hold of her own sea of consciousness.

Whoosh!

A flame, embodying the spiritual consciousness of the Extreme Flame, was forcibly expelled and flew towards the burning pond.

Yuan Lianyao snapped to alertness, surveying the strange new world and the dual apparitions of Yu Yuan. "I, what just happened to me?" she uttered, her voice tinged with confusion.

"My dear disciple, I've come to your aid!"

Beilstein's booming laughter resonated from the armor enveloping Yuan Lianyao's form. The Great Demon God, born of the Vast Ocean Origin Soul, had inexplicably manifested within the furnace.

Yu Yuan was momentarily taken aback.

"Come on! Let's get out of this accursed place first."

A shadowy Devil Soul emerged from the armor, now shifting to a purple-red hue. Without waiting for Yuan Lianyao's response, the armor pulled her upwards, propelling her towards the heavens.

"Depart!"

A commanding will surged from the depths of the pond, disrupting the magnetic and force fields within the crystal sphere.

The radiance of the crystal ball abruptly faded, and the roaring flames at the edge of the pond seemed to diminish in response.

Yu Yuan's Eleventh Level Yang God, along with his true form and his spectral body, suddenly resonated with each other. The light from the Dragon Slash Platform enveloped both forms, whisking them away from the heart of the vast expanse in an instant.

Before he vanished, Yu Yuan caught sight of the dark green sea of souls that hovered above the Yang God's head, swiftly drifting toward the fiery pond.

This was because the Origin Soul of the vast expanse had begun to fiercely resist the appearance of the Great Demon God Beilstein.

It would not tolerate any unforeseen events.

At some point, the Extreme Flame, which had allied itself with the Origin Soul, was also alarmed by its stirrings.

"Hahaha!"

"The Heaven and Earth Furnace, what a marvelous creation! The fire phoenix, the Sun-Swallowing Frog, the Vermillion Bird, the fiery dragon, and the flamingo—all these magnificent creatures with their rich blood and soul power have been refined within the furnace."

"Excellently done!"

Beilstein's booming laughter echoed from within the purple-red divine armor.

After departing from the vast expanse, this extraordinary divine armor detached from Yuan Lianyao. Adorned in a fiery red gown, she trod upon blossoming flames.

The flames swiftly condensed into Flame Lotuses.

Dangerously beautiful Flame Lotuses also bloomed at her knees and elbows, unleashing formidable power.

Behind her head, a sea of fire raged, within which a sun emerged.

The purple-red divine armor, now separate from her, continuously transformed—morphing into a pill furnace, a fire shield, and then a blade as sharp as gold metal.

"First, President Lyi, who transformed himself into the quintessence of gold metal, turned the furnace into the most resilient entity. Then came Mo Baichuan's consecration, followed by the scorching of the Geocentric Fire."

"Next, the Extreme Flame itself forged the furnace with the fiercest of flames, achieving a marvel beyond my wildest dreams!"

"Hahaha!"

Beilstein's eerie laughter resonated from the furnace until it abruptly ceased, and he spoke solemnly, "It seems they've all forgotten that the Heaven and Earth Furnace was once known as Flowing Flames. It was a pill furnace that the previous master of the Medicine God Sect, specifically crafted for his disciple Hong Qi."

His Devil Soul peered out from the purple-and-red armor, fixing its gaze on Yu Yuan's true form.

"The clearest memory you have after awakening is the task of retrieving the pill furnace and the Flowing Flames from the Crack Archipelago. Don't you realize how crucial this furnace is to both of us, master and disciple?"

Yu Yuan nodded slightly. "I understand now."

"Lord Beilstein!"

"Great Demon God!"

"Old Patriarch!"

Upon confirming that the laughter belonged to Beilstein, all the Outland Devaputra, along with other formidable beings like Barol and Brie, were overcome with excitement.

Suddenly, they seemed to have found their anchor, their beacon of hope.

The Great Demon God Beilstein, universally acknowledged as the strongest in the Origin Realm and the overlord revered by all extraterrestrial tribes, had revealed his Devil Soul within the divine armor.

It was common knowledge that Beilstein's Devil Soul could split into thousands, and everyone remembered that his last appearance was in the Gray Domain, entering the Abyss through the Chaos Abyss created by Arthurs.

His descent into the Abyss had left Arthurs grievously wounded and thrown the Abyss into disarray.

His presence also prevented the Evil Gods of the Abyss from leaving the Evil God Temple to launch a major invasion of the Origin Realm.

Who could have anticipated that at such a pivotal moment, his Devil Soul would manifest within the divine armor?

He even addressed Yu Yuan as his dear disciple, affirming their bond as master and pupil.

Even the likes of Barol, Rebecca, the Chaos Roc, and the young spinosaurus were left dumbfounded by his declaration, struggling to grasp the implications.

With a flourish, the divine armor transformed into a purple pill furnace. The fiery patterns on its exterior morphed into soul lines that sketched Beilstein's devilish silhouette.

"This pill furnace is the result of my deep contemplation of the Geocentric Fire's subtleties. I've imprinted the secrets of the earth's fire, hoping that one day, this furnace would carry me through the vast Geocentric Fire, beyond the extreme flames, to witness what lies at the heart of the expanse."

"My study of the earth's fire was all to traverse it, to behold the Origin Soul that gave rise to me."

"Hahaha!" Beilstein's laughter boomed, echoing from the pill furnace as if he were rocking with mirth. "The pill furnace is my most vital devilish vessel!"

Devaputras, from their inception, were nothing but Devil Souls, devoid of flesh and blood.

Every Devaputra, upon reaching a certain level of strength, needed to refine a specialized devil body.

Their devil bodies could take the form of weapons, armor, or even the bones of formidable beings, and sometimes, a cape.

The pill furnace known as Flowing Flames was the unique devil body that the Great Demon God Beilstein had crafted for himself!

He forged this devil body with the intent to one day traverse the Geocentric Fire and determine what had gone awry with the Origin Soul.

Since awakening from a grave injury, the Origin Soul had ceased responding to him, signaling that something was amiss within the vast expanse.

Initially, he suspected that the Origin Soul, like him, had been severely wounded during his battle with the Spinosaurus, leading it into a prolonged slumber.

However, as the human race ascended and Yu Yuan achieved divinity through the Great Yin, and he still couldn't reach the Origin Soul, he realized there was a serious issue.

Soon enough, even the Geocentric Fire deep within the earth became wary of him, barring his entry to the underground.

Thus, the emergence of the Medicine God Sect's master and the appearance of the pill furnace, Flowing Flames, came to pass.

"You..."

Suddenly, the pill furnace made a beeline for Cao Jiaze.

Within it, the Great Demon God Beilstein's countenance was one of utmost gravity, his gaze fixed on Cao Jiaze's eyes, silently perceiving the shifts in its spirit.

Boom!

The dome of the Gray Domain was abruptly breached, creating a vast opening that unveiled a grand and imposing hall.

"The Evil God Temple!"

This abrupt twist left the powerhouses of the Gray Domain scrambling, their focus and attention shifting back and forth in disarray.

"Master, I have come to escort you home."

The voice of the guardian echoed in Yu Yuan's mind, filled with devotion and humility, as if it had been awaiting this moment for eons.
