Chapter 597: Refining Ye Wushuang

CLANG!

The Ancient Battle Spear fell from the sky like a streak of golden light, piercing through the Array and embedding itself in the black mountain range with a sorrowful hum!

The War God is gone; the ancient weapon mourns!

The Purgatory World was devoured by the Purgatory Demon Furnace, and along with it, the world-scorching Purgatory Demon Fire was swallowed as well!

BOOM!

The Purgatory Demon Furnace transformed into a streak of black light and vanished into the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains!

"Military Commander!"

Across the black mountain range, a hundred thousand soldiers roared in grief!

Sky-piercing hatred erupted from the bloodshot eyes of every soldier in the Lingxiao Army and the Celestial Wolf Army!

"The Beastman Empire deployed its Holy Weapon and gathered its experts to bully our Military Commander! This is a feud that cannot be reconciled!"

Roar after roar erupted from the hundred thousand soldiers, their endless fury like a wildfire threatening to incinerate the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains!

Kill!

The Beastman Empire had thoroughly enraged the Celestial Wolf Army, and a storm of slaughter began to sweep through the black mountain range!

The soldiers of the Celestial Wolf Army transformed into war machines, madly cutting down the Beastman Army. In an instant, the black mountain range was painted crimson with blood.

Their terrifying combat power shocked everyone from the Grand Emperor Country and struck terror into the Beastman Army!

None of the other powers had expected Ye Wushuang to have such a profound influence on his soldiers!

The army of the Beastman Empire lost all morale and fell into complete disarray.

In the firmament above, the experts from the various factions clashed fiercely!

「On Demon Nether Mountain, beneath the Beast King Palace, within the Earth Palace.」

The Purgatory Demon Furnace shot down from the firmament and entered the Earth Palace, coming to rest on a wide altar in the center!

Endless Purgatory Demon Fire spewed forth, only to be blocked by a barrier above the altar!

The Purgatory Demon Fire was a Heaven and Earth Demon Fire that the Ox Giant Demon had taken from the Netherworld of the Nine Heavens Domain. It was no different from a Celestial Fire and contained Purgatory Dao Principles capable of incinerating even a Saint.

At this moment, inside the Purgatory Demon Furnace, the endless Purgatory Demon Fire transformed into countless Demon Spirits that lunged toward a crimson flame in the center.

’Ultimate Yang True Fire protecting his body... To think he possessed this kind of Celestial Fire!’

A sinister, phantom-like figure suffused with Demon Qi stood within the Purgatory World, staring at the crimson flame. At the center of the fire, there was a purple glow!

And within that purple glow was a purple figure. His eyes were closed, and his handsome face was covered in bloody marks, completely devoid of any aura!

’The heavens are on my side! As long as I devour this Ultimate Yang True Fire, I can evolve again. No one will ever be able to control me then.’

The Purgatory Demon Spirit suddenly let out a sinister laugh.

The black Purgatory Demon Fire continuously lunged at the crimson flame in the center, gradually assimilating the Ultimate Yang True Fire!

Hmm?

Suddenly, the Purgatory Demon Spirit’s brow furrowed. ’There’s still a trace of life? He’s not completely dead?!’

As the Purgatory Demon Fire was refining the Ultimate Yang True Fire, the Purgatory Demon Spirit discovered that while Ye Wushuang had no signs of life, a trace of his consciousness still remained.

It was a wisp of consciousness that was autonomously resisting, guiding the Ultimate Yang True Fire to fight back against being devoured!

’This won’t do. I have to completely obliterate this wisp of consciousness so I can quickly and completely devour the Ultimate Yang True Fire. Only then can I ensure a successful evolution!’

’However, I can’t break through the defenses of the Ultimate Yang True Fire right now. Plus, I can’t afford to be distracted while I’m trying to devour it!’

The Purgatory Demon Spirit muttered to itself.

Just then, King Mor Luo’s figure appeared in the Earth Palace, accompanied by eight Nirvana Realm Beastman elders. They walked toward the Purgatory Demon Furnace in the center!

The Purgatory Demon Spirit noticed them, and a sinister smile bloomed on its face.

’It seems even the heavens are helping me. With them here, this problem should be solved quickly!’

As the nine of them arrived before the Purgatory Demon Furnace, the Purgatory Demon Spirit spoke up. "King Mor Luo, do you still remember me?"

"Lord Demon Spirit!"

Startled by the voice, he was shocked and hastily bowed in reverence.

The eight Beastman elders behind him were also stunned and quickly bowed toward the Purgatory Demon Furnace!

The Demon Spirit was the Guardian God that the Ox Giant Demon had left for the Beastman Empire. It would appear whenever the empire faced a great calamity, protecting it from harm!

In the eyes of every Beastman in the Beastman Empire, the Demon Spirit was the Ox Giant Demon’s representative, a figure of supreme reverence!

"Lord Demon Spirit, has the enemy been slain?" King Mor Luo asked cautiously.

"The boy has been killed, and his soul has been devoured. However, I have preserved his body."

The Demon Spirit’s voice was ethereal as it said, "This boy’s body is a rare Treasure Body, exceedingly scarce. If you work together to refine it, you can extract a Supreme Treasure Blood. Give it to your descendants, and it can help forge an Ancient Blood Physique. Consider it a gift from me!"

"Supreme Treasure Blood!"

Upon hearing this, King Mor Luo’s face lit up with joy. The ability to forge an Ancient Blood Physique was clearly a heaven-defying feat!

"Thank you for your gift, Lord Demon Spirit!"

King Mor Luo hastily expressed his thanks.

"Alright, with the strength of you all, refining it should be no problem. I must go into slumber now. Handle it yourselves!"

After casually spinning a lie, the Demon Spirit fell silent!

Hearing this, King Mor Luo nodded and exchanged a glance with the other eight elders.

’Lord Demon Spirit is slumbering, leaving the rest to us. If we refine that man’s body into Supreme Treasure Blood and have Mor Ke devour and assimilate it, he will be able to break his shackles and attain an Ancient Blood Physique. He’ll obtain the inheritance of the great Ox Giant Demon, and then what’s to stop our Beastman Empire from rising?’

King Mor Luo stared at the Purgatory Demon Furnace, his gaze sharp and fervent, his heart ecstatic!

The other Beastman elders also had blazing eyes, as if they could already see an unparalleled young expert emerging to sweep across the Grand Emperor Country!

BOOM!

Without another word, the nine of them sat cross-legged around the altar. Each unleashed a terrifying surge of True Essence that poured into the Purgatory Demon Furnace.

The refinement process was meant to render down Ye Wushuang’s body, converting his lifetime of cultivation, True Essence, and special Treasure Blood into a single drop of blood!

This single drop of blood was the Supreme Treasure Blood the Demon Spirit had spoken of!

Of course, even the Demon Spirit had underestimated Ye Wushuang’s physique. A body nourished by Dragon Blood and Golden-Winged Roc True Blood, which had also practiced the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body—how could it possibly be compared to a mere Treasure Blood?!

As the nine men began to refine Ye Wushuang’s body, the Demon Spirit let out another sinister laugh and continued devouring the Ultimate Yang True Fire, waiting only to evolve!

’They’re going to refine me?’

However, no one knew that within the Chaos Space, on an altar high up in the Star Universe, Ye Wushuang stood silently. He watched the situation outside with his faint Divine Sense, his brow furrowed in extreme gravity!

"Hehe, those idiots are being used as pawns and don’t even know it. Lord Cat is dying of laughter."

Next to Ye Wushuang, a fat cat bared its teeth, its sly eyes shining even more brightly!

Ye Wushuang turned his head to look at the newly awakened Dragon Cat. After its long slumber, he suddenly realized the little guy had undergone a significant change!

As for what had changed, Ye Wushuang couldn’t quite tell, but he was sure this transformation must have brought the creature some considerable gains!

"You said just now that this Purgatory Demon Furnace is a treasure trove. What did you mean by that?"
