Primordial Era: Elixir of Qi Transforms into Form, Controlling the Pharmacology of the World

Chapter 140 The Human Race's Counterattack: Using One's Body as a Furnace to Refine the Demon Emperor

Meanwhile, the battle between Xuan Zhan and the Shocking Demon Emperor is also nearing its end.

"Born to fight, die to fight! Is it worth it?" The Demon Emperor, gazing at Xuan Zhan, also had this same question.

"To fight for humanity, to die for humanity. This is the true meaning of my cultivation of the Great Dao of War. Even if I sacrifice myself, my fighting spirit will live on forever in the human race." Xuan Zhan shouted, clenching his fist, burning everything, and unleashing his final punch.

That punch contained martial will, his most desperate fighting spirit, the general trend of the human race, and his will.

At that moment, you could see him drawing the fighting spirit of the entire human race into that one punch.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

The instantaneous roar affected the Great Dao and all ages. It turned the heavens into chaos, and chaos into the heavens. Finally, the battle intent tore through the air and surged into the torrent of the Great Dao, as if it were a path to enlightenment.

Especially when the Great Daos collide, they unleash thunder, each one capable of destroying a great world; under such extreme terror, they annihilate all things.

Under such carnage, Xuan Zhan's physical body was annihilated, and his battle spirit gradually dissipated, leaving only his lingering battle intent: "Humanity is unyielding, and our battle intent will endure forever. I, Xuan Zhan, will transform into battle intent and merge into humanity, ensuring that humanity's battle intent never fades—"

As he spoke, his fighting spirit merged into the destiny of the human race. With this destiny, a fighting spirit spread, permeating the endless human race.

At that moment, a fighting spirit surged within countless humans. It was humanity's indomitable will, and also humanity's fighting spirit.

The Demon Emperor gazed at the last vestige of fighting spirit, which, like a flickering flame in the wind, was not extinguished. He merely looked at it and said, "What a fighting spirit. Even the weak human race can produce someone I admire."

The Demon Emperor gazed at his vanquished adversary, a mixture of admiration and sorrow. Many other powerful beings shared this sentiment, recalling the human race's past, how, since its birth, it had relied on the Witch Clan, on all other races, on Ling Dan—

Humanity has always relied on others for growth. It has been looked down upon by many races and powerful beings.

But now it seems that humanity does have some good ones after all.

Twenty-eight humans and twenty-eight demon emperors.

In their battle, it was ultimately humanity that perished. Each of them, if they had cultivated diligently, could have relied on their own methods to achieve the Dao Fruit realm. Perhaps in the future, they could have even reached the Primordial Chaos realm.

But now, they are sacrificing the future, sacrificing themselves, to intercept the Demon Emperor.

After a brief stalemate, he was ultimately defeated by the Demon Emperor.

The result of the twenty-eight battles was the fall of twenty-eight human beings.

The fall of one human after another has puzzled many powerful beings.

What should the humans do?

Many powerful beings were puzzled, as were many demon emperors.

The last human was named Xuan Lei.

He cultivated the Great Dao of Thunder and also possessed the bloodline of the Yunze Thunder Clan. Evolving the Thunder Divine Body, this supernatural power brought him infinitely closer to the Thunder Clan.

Now, thunder surrounds everything, as if the world is about to end.

He coughed up blood, which was surrounded by lightning. He gazed at the demon emperor before him and his fallen kin, and couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Haha—time's enough, just right. The task assigned by the leader is finally complete. Cough cough—"

The thunder rumbled softly, yet it made the Demon Emperor, who was facing off against it, inexplicably feel that something was amiss.

From sending powerful human warriors to fight against them, to the many changes that have occurred since then, it's all rather inexplicable.

"Oh no—it seems we've fallen into a trap—" The Demon Emperor seemed to realize something.

"This aura...it's strangely familiar. Oh no—" the Heavenly Dog Demon Emperor roared. The remaining twenty-eight demon emperors exchanged glances, inexplicably sensing something amiss and a sense of crisis.

At this very moment, waves surged and roared within the great river of the Great Dao.

One after another, powerful figures suddenly flew out from the Great Dao River and spread throughout the river.

Numerous figures, their powerful and vigorous blood and energy intertwined, exuding an absolutely vast fighting spirit, each holding a formation diagram. Within those diagrams emanated a unique aura, carrying the essence of each human being.

These figures, scattered everywhere, were all surrounding numerous demon emperors and their Dao fruits.

The twenty-eight demon emperors, suddenly surrounded, felt a sense of crisis.

"Dao Fruit, your human race was willing to sacrifice twenty-eight sages for the sake of us Dao Fruits. You—" a demon emperor roared, as if he had thought of something.

"Indeed, it is the Dao Fruit. Since the end of the Great War of the Myriad Races, powerful beings with the means have hidden their Dao Fruits. As a result, it is difficult for the downstream of the Great Dao River to see your Dao Fruits. Unfortunately, the Dao Fruits are indestructible, and the Demon Emperor is hard to kill. We will sacrifice ourselves to force your Dao Fruits out and kill them completely." Xuan Lei laughed, his voice full of arrogance.

In fact, since the Great War of the Myriad Races, powerful beings who have the means have hidden their Dao Fruits. Of course, for cultivators who have just entered the Dao Fruit stage, being at the lower end of the river of time, it's quite a struggle. For cultivators who have broken through to the Dao Fruit stage, transferring their Dao Fruit is much easier.

The Dao Fruit flows, while cultivators rely on their physical bodies to fight. In the midst of this battle, their physical bodies traverse across the lower reaches of the Great Dao River to engage in combat. However, relying solely on the physical body and divine soul to fight is ultimately not the peak state.

The strongest way is to integrate the Dao Fruit into oneself and fight a great battle deep downstream.

Xuan Chen, Xuan Zhan, Xuan Lei—what they need to do is force out these Demon Emperor Dao Fruits.

Xuan Lei laughed loudly: "Haha—we sacrificed ourselves to force out the location of your Dao Fruits, causing them to merge with yourselves, or perhaps exposing their location. We also lured you to a specific location downstream of the long river. That was our mission, and we have accomplished it—"

As they said this, many demon kings sensed danger and prepared to fly away.

The Heavenly Dog Demon Emperor was fully prepared, but even though the Great Dao guided him and the array patterns evolved, ten Dao Fruits flew out from where he was.

The Dao fruits intertwined, transforming into array patterns that guided the physical body, revealing ten powerful human warriors.

Those were humans who had their two corpses severed.

Now they flew out, taking out an array diagram: "Heavenly Dog Demon Emperor—Xuan Chen sacrificed himself, allowing your Dao Fruit to merge with his own, drawing you here. We will naturally not let his sacrifice go to waste. Myriad Immortals Array Diagram, Ten Directions Furnace—"

A formation diagram appeared, containing ten thousand Great Luo cultivators. These ten thousand human Great Luo cultivators, though they had not yet condensed their Dao Fruits, were still at the Great Luo realm. Now they merged into the formation diagram, evolving the Myriad Immortals Formation.

"Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, unfold—" Ten thousand Great Luo cultivators gathered in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, and terrifying Daoist charm and energy surged into the ten Dao Fruit cultivators at the core of the formation.

The ten human cultivators, all possessing the Dao Fruit, sensed the vast energy transmitted by the Myriad Immortals Formation, and their expressions turned solemn, filled with determination.

"My system of cultivating humanity has evolved into a unified system!"

"My cultivation system of the Humanistic Furnace is now evolving into the Yin-Yang Furnace!"

"My cultivation system of the Human Way's Crucible is now evolving into the Three Realms Crucible!"

Ten powerful beings of the human race have now evolved into ten furnaces.

The Humanistic Furnace System created by Ling Dan involves a Shaping Furnace.

The stronger the furnace shaping, the stronger its own qualities.

Ling Dan hopes that the human race, through cultivation, can create its own crucible of humanity.

However, they were also worried that humans would have difficulty creating them, so they developed ten methods of baking furnaces to enable humans to create them.

Now, ten powerful human beings have evolved into ten furnaces.

From the One Element, the Two Elements, to the Ten Directions.

Ten furnaces appeared, intertwining, evolving, and merging with each other.

"Ten Directions Furnace, Perform—" roared ten human Dao Fruit experts.

"Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, burn—" roared ten thousand Great Luo human cultivators.

"Use ten thousand Great Luo Immortals of the human race to condense the Myriad Immortals Grand Array, transforming it into the Myriad Immortals Fire. Use ten Great Dao Fruit Powerful beings of the human race to evolve the Ten Directions Furnace, sealing the Demon Emperor. Refine for me—" The many humans shouted in unison.

In that instant, the Heavenly Dog Demon Emperor was sealed by the Myriad Immortals Formation and then shut down by the Ten Directions Furnace.

Immediately, ten thousand Great Luo cultivators ignited their origins, transforming them into ultimate divine fire, which burned within the furnace.

Inside the furnace, ten thousand Great Luo cultivators, intertwined and indestructible, were also present.

Flames burned, and the Heavenly Dog Demon Emperor roared, "Humans, what kind of humans are you? How dare you scheme against me like this! Break—"

The Heavenly Dog Demon Emperor was in a furnace, being refined by the flames formed from the ignited essence of ten thousand Great Luo cultivators.

At that moment, the Heavenly Dog Demon Emperor was furious and wanted to kill, but he could not destroy the furnace.

"It's useless. Senior Xuan Chen's sacrifice wasn't just to scheme against you, but also to test your limits. Then he arranged for us to refine you. Although we cultivate an abridged version of the Three Corpses Severing Method, severing two of our corpses, our cultivation is not high. But when the ten of us merge, forming the Ten Directions Furnace and weaving the Myriad Immortals Array, our combined cultivation will definitely reach the half-step Primordial Chaos Realm, and even closer to the peak."

"Under such circumstances, you, already wounded, have no chance of escape. Moreover, we are now burning our very essence, with the intention of mutual destruction, to refine you." The human powerhouse roared.

"You humans, how cunning you are—" Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Dog Demon Emperor now understood that the human race's scheme was truly difficult to resist.

"Naturally, it's a clever scheme. To use lives and sacrifices to scheme against you—naturally, it's powerful." The human powerhouse roared.

The Celestial Dog Demon Emperor understood that the human race was risking their lives. They were willing to sacrifice the future and life of a powerful human to obtain information. In return, they were willing to sacrifice ten thousand powerful figures and ten Dao Fruits to trap and kill him. Under such circumstances, the Celestial Dog Demon Emperor had no choice but to accept defeat.

The Heavenly Dog Demon Emperor was helpless, as were the other Demon Emperors.

All twenty-eight demon emperors are now sealed off like this.

Each demon emperor had a different level of cultivation, and through their battles with the powerful human beings before them, their limits and the location of their Dao fruits were tested.

Therefore, in response to the twenty-eight demon emperors, human beings of different cultivation levels were dispatched.

However, each one is a Ten Thousand Immortals Formation Diagram, containing ten thousand Great Luo Immortals of the Human Race.

Twenty-eight demon emperors, that's 280,000 Grand Luo Immortals! This number is terrifying. Although the Grand Luo Immortal realm isn't valuable in the current prehistoric world, it still requires the accumulation of many resources to achieve.

Aside from the 280,000 human leaders, there are also 280 Dao Fruits, or physical Dao Fruits.

Each Demon Emperor is surrounded by ten Dao Fruit experts. Powerful Demon Emperors are surrounded by Dao Fruit experts who have severed two or nearly three corpses. These experts transform into furnaces, intertwining ten directions of furnaces to seal and refine the demons.

However, Dao Fruits are scarce. Therefore, even though there are enough Dao Fruit cultivators among the human race, they dare not waste them. Thus, some powerful Dao Fruit cultivators possess incredibly strong physical bodies, built upon endless resources. Their evolved furnaces are also now extremely powerful.

Each demon emperor has a dedicated human to deal with them.

Now, twenty-eight furnaces seal twenty-eight demon emperors. Within the Myriad Immortals Formation, twenty-eight hundred thousand Great Luo Immortals of the human race burn their own essence, transforming it into ultimate flames, which merge into the furnaces to incinerate each demon emperor.

The two hundred and eighty human Dao Fruits transformed into the Ten Directions Furnace, weaving the Myriad Immortals Array to seal off the Demon Emperor.

Now, they have sealed off twenty-eight demon emperors in one fell swoop, intending to refine them.

The sudden change stunned many powerful figures and rogue cultivators. "What? The human race has counterattacked! They've sealed away all twenty-eight demon emperors in one fell swoop, preparing to refine them?"

"After the Battle of Penglai, the Myriad Immortals Formation disappeared without a trace. Now, it has been acquired by the human race. Relying on this formation, the human race has trapped the Demon Emperor. Furthermore, relying on the Furnace System, they have evolved a furnace to refine the Demon Emperor. What a clever tactic, what a cunning scheme!"

"The spirit of the human race is truly remarkable. They are willing to sacrifice twenty-eight human sages. It seems that within the human race, those at the Dao Fruit realm can be called 'human powerhouses,' while those who surpass the Dao Fruit realm can be hailed as 'human sages.' Every human sage has the opportunity to achieve the half-step Primordial Chaos realm. Yet now, they have sacrificed themselves to intercept the Demon Emperor and scheme against him."

"A grand gesture. So many human sacrifices for this one decisive victory. The twenty-eight demon emperors are now doomed!"

"Although the sacrifices of the human race have revealed the strength of the Demon Emperors, allowing for targeted countermeasures, these numerous Demon Emperors are ultimately not weaklings and will surely retaliate. Therefore, this encirclement and attack may—"

"That being said, there are still powerful individuals within the demon race."

Many powerful beings murmured, all clearly aware that the demon race had suffered a great loss this time. They had been outmaneuvered by the human race, and now all twenty-eight demon emperors were sealed away.

It must be said that the human race's plan this time is absolutely astonishing.

Now, the twenty-eight demon emperors, sealed and refined in this furnace, are showing signs of solemnity.
