Chapter 973: Thousand Miles of Scorched Earth

“It has been activated!”

Jiang Yi’s soul spirit shivered. The power of stars was able to activate the Smelting Divine Furnace as expected. He had no longer cared and poured all the power of stars he had in an attempt to push the Smelting Divine Furnace to the limit and kill as many people as he could.

“Hurhur, still trying to bite back before your death?”

Wu Zu sneered. The aura presence from Jiang Yi’s ancient artifact didn’t feel very dreadful to him, and there weren’t any warning signs in his heart either. Hence, he and the four other Half Gods didn’t believe that the ancient artifact could do any harm to them. Five pairs of eyes turned cold before they flew at Jiang Yi like rainbows and prepared to capture him.

That’s right!

It was to capture and not to kill.

Jiang Yi had made Wu Clan into such a sorry state, and they naturally wouldn’t allow him to die so easily. Instead, they were preparing to capture him and kill him in public. Otherwise, if they were to kill him silently here, they wouldn’t be able to restore the Wu Clan’s dignity.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The five had struck out large palm prints, causing the spatial zone around Jiang Yi’s body to tear apart and making it fluctuate even more horribly. Jiang Yi’s body was completely immobilized like duckweed struggling to stay afloat in a raging sea.

“Jiang Yi, surrender yourself, and we will spare your life!”

Wu Zu flew at the front and rapidly closed the distance between the two sides. He was already a few hundred meters nearer, and he had worn a set of black gloves on his big hands. The gloves were revolving with runic patterns and were obviously spirit-connected cardinal treasure. He was preparing to break Jiang Yi’s Astral Winds Divine Shield with brute force and cripple Jiang Yi’s dantian.

They had been studying Jiang Yi’s astral wind attacks and finally determined that the prowess was at most comparable to a six-star dao pattern. Jiang Yi might be able to sweep all Heaven Monarch martial artists and would be able to kill Five-Star experts, but it was still lacking a little to kill a Demigod. Demigod experts’ divine shield’s defenses were ten times tougher than peak-stage Heaven Monarchs, and the astral wind blades would never be able to break it.

Seventeen hundred meters… a thousand meters!

Jiang Yi had been immobilized by the fluctuations. He was hovering in mid-air and didn’t try to escape as he was trying to utilize the Smelting Divine Furnace. In fact, he felt that he could already release the Nine Yang True Flames, but he was still pouring in the power of stars. He had poured out all of his power of stars, and his objective was self-evident. He wanted to continue pushing the Smelting Divine Furnace in order to release the Nirvana Flames, to kill even more people!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The Smelting Divine Furnace’s lid had been jumping non-stop, and when Jiang Yi poured in the final wisp of the power of stars, the Smelting Divine Furnace flourished with radiance once again. A horrifying aura presence spread out from within, and the surface of the furnace was covered with mysterious patterns and incessant runic patterns. He then yelled out, “All of you shall die for this Young Master!”

“Retreat…”

Wu Zu was just 300 meters away from Jiang Yi and would be able to destroy Jiang Yi’s divine shield in the next second. He could then continue to crush Jiang Yi’s dantian, but he didn’t dare to advance even half a step now.

In the depths of his soul spirit, there was a surge of extreme warning signs, and such warning signs had appeared in his life many times. It would always appear when he was going to encounter a fatal situation. He had also sensed an extremely dreadful aura presence from the stone furnace in Jiang Yi’s hands.

“Flee!”

The four Demigods a few hundred meters behind him also had alarmed eyes. They had retreated with their fastest speed as the aura presence from the stone furnace was too horrifying, giving them a fatal and dangerous feeling.

They had retreated very quickly, but they were already too late!

The stone furnace’s lid opened up, and the furnace shot up in the air and constantly expanded. Finally, it became a giant stone furnace which was over 300 meters in radius. Subsequently, the stone furnace tilted and bundles of black flames flew out.

At the moment, when the black flames appeared, there was silence—a kind of deathlike silence!

“Ah—!”

The silence lasted only for a second before countless screams could be heard. In the radius of dozens of miles, all the Heaven Monarchs’ divine shields had instantly shattered, and their bodies immediately caught on with blazing fire. They were turning into ashes at a speed that was visible to the eyes.

“The Nirvana Flames are so terrifying?”

Jiang Yi had been astonished because he saw a Demigod’s divine shield getting thinner at a significant speed before turning into a bubble and rupturing. That Demigod yelled with fear, and his body burned with raging flames as he turned into a flaming man.

“Ahh, I don’t want to die!”

“Young Master Ni, quickly send a message to Patriarch for him to avenge us!”

“Wu Ni, hurry up and flee, ahh…”

The rest of the Demigods were unable to escape as well while they all shouted with fear. Jiang Yi was a single entity with the Smelting Divine Furnace, and these flames couldn’t do any harm to him without even the need for the Fire Spirit Pearl to protect himself. Only Wu Zu and others would know the terror of these flames.

Once the black flames were out, they couldn’t withstand it with just their divine shields. The high temperature penetrated through the divine shields and permeated into their bodies, causing their blood to boil and their essence force to go haywire. There was simply no ways to escape. They could only watch helplessly as the horrific flames scorched their divine shields little by little and turned their bodies and soul spirits into ashes.

“Ahhh!”

Jiang Yi felt as though he was dreaming as he watched the Demigods getting incinerated one after the other. He might already know that the Nirvana Flames inside the Smelting Divine Furnace were able to incinerate experts below the Seven-Star rank. Right now that he was watching five Demigods getting burned alive, his soul spirit was still shivering.

Demigods!

They were this world’s strongest being. Any one of the Demigods could be a city lord for the main cities or become consecrator for the Nine Thearchs Clans, dominating millions of Heaven Monarchs.

Back then, when Jiang Yi was in Gods Bestow Island’s Sky Ascension Peak, he felt like an insect when Lei Gu made his move. He felt that Lei Gu was god, and in the face of Lei Gu, he didn’t even have the courage to fight. Jiang Yi never would have expected he could actually incinerate five Demigods.

Although none of the Demigods here seemed to be beyond Eight-Star rank, they were still influential figures in the Wu Clan and were cornerstones for the Wu Clan. They were pinnacle experts that had supreme authority in the Wu Clan!

“Ah! Ah!”

The anguished wailings of Heaven Monarchs had echoed from dozens of miles away. They must be the nearby low-stage Heaven Monarchs that didn’t escape in time and were burned alive by the high temperature. Jiang Yi took a glance and was appalled.

Thousand miles of scorched earth!

All the trees at the mountain range below were ignited with blazing flames. Places without trees would be charred, and there was black smoke everywhere. Scenes of desolations and ghastly sights filled the eyes with a single glance.

Five Demigods and the nearby remaining ten over thousand Heaven Monarchs were burned into ashes. Qi Tianyu and his men’s corpses didn’t survive and had been turned into ashes, too. Even the ancient divine essence rings and Wu Zu’s spirit-connected cardinal treasure had been turned into black ashes.

Chi! Chi!

The black flames circled around the sky like a black dragon and were absorbed back into the Smelting Divine Furnace. That furnace, which looked like a shifting castle, had drastically shrunk and flew back into Jiang Yi’s hands.

Ss, ss…

Jiang Yi took in two mouthfuls of cold air and felt that this furnace was just like a demonic weapon for a demon. He kept the furnace and was still a little lost in mid-air as he didn’t know what to do next.

“That’s right… two of the Demigods asked Wu Ni to quickly escape? Wu Ni is in the vicinity?”

Immediately realizing it, Jiang Yi’s mind shook; and he looked towards the north. His body was brimming with killing aura again. The situation at Stupa Mountain today was obviously a plot, and the masterminds must surely be in the vicinity. Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu must be in the north of Stupa Mountain.

“Kill!”

Jiang Yi’s eyes were red as blood, and he didn’t care if Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu had any Demigod experts with them. He burst towards the north like a violent dragon.
