The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 887 - 411: The Doomsday of the Jiuli World (Part 2)

He understood that although Xu Qingzhu was not directly in charge of the sect, she, as the representative of the Daoist Monarch, held an extraordinary position in the Heavenly River Dao Sect that no one could shake.

Outside the Pure Yang Realm, the dazzling star river gradually returned to its calm, with only the newly risen Ying Huo Star still emitting warm light in the night sky, heralding a new era for this world.

But for Xu Qing, this was just the beginning.

He stood atop the Feather Transformation Platform, gazing into the endless void, his gaze profound and determined.

He knew that with his rise, the Pure Yang Realm would inevitably attract more attention and face more challenges. But he believed that with him and his family, the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty and even the entire Pure Yang Realm would fear no storms and break through all obstacles.

He gently held Feng Wu's hand. They exchanged a smile, everything understood without words.

Their gazes jointly turned toward the broader, more mysterious universe of Taixu, where countless wonders and challenges awaited them.

And Xu Qingzhu would also display a new side of herself in the cultivation realm, as the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly River Dao Sect, becoming an extension of her father's will.

…

…

However, the peace in the Pure Yang Realm did not last long.

Just a few days after Xu Qing held a banquet on the Feather Transformation Platform for guests from various forces, a vast world enveloped by dense Evil Qi—the Jiuli World—suddenly faced an unmatched calamity, far in the depths of Taixu.

At this moment, a massive, ancient, and heavy pill furnace engraved with countless mysterious runes, appeared out of nowhere in the void outside the Jiuli Realm.

The furnace was dark gold in color, with flowing Eight Diagram patterns on it, exuding a terrifying aura that suppressed all heavens and refined all existence.

It was the Supreme Treasure of the Supreme Dao Sect—the Furnace of Eight Trigrams.

The mouth of the furnace slowly opened like a black hole devouring the heavens and earth, unleashing an unparalleled suction. The whole Jiuli World, along with its billions of creatures, trembled and twisted under this terrifying suction, as if they were about to be torn apart.

The Jiuli Barbarian Clan naturally would not sit and wait for death. A heaven-shaking roar echoed through the universe, and a towering figure, standing ten thousand feet tall with muscles knotted and covered in strange patterns, appeared at the core of the Jiuli Realm. Wielding a giant axe, he was the supreme ruler of the Jiuli Barbarian Clan—the Jiuli Barbarian King.

He had returned from the Spirit Platform Star Sea, glimpsed the secrets of the Ancient God Hall, and refined a sliver of the Heaven-opening Axe's shadow, as legend told.

"Supreme Sect Master, you have gone too far," the Jiuli Barbarian King roared repeatedly, his giant axe cleaving outwards, trying to resist the devouring power of the Furnace of Eight Trigrams.

Axe lights imbued with powerful witch power slashed through the void, only to be instantly absorbed by the Furnace of Eight Trigrams like a cow entering the sea, raising not even a ripple.

Meanwhile, in various parts of the Jiuli Realm, powerful auras soared up; those were the many Great Witches under the Jiuli Barbarian King.

They all utilized their witchcraft and divine skills, offering a variety of witchcraft tools containing immense power, attempting to counter this world-destroying suction.

However, in the face of such a Supreme Treasure as the Furnace of Eight Trigrams, their resistance seemed so fragile and powerless. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The entire Jiuli World was shaking violently; countless mountains collapsed, rivers ran backward, and the earth cracked open into massive fissures. Countless members of the Jiuli Barbarian Clan cried out in despair, their bodies inexorably drawn towards the sky, finally consumed by that terrifying Furnace of Eight Trigrams.

The one controlling the Furnace of Eight Trigrams was the Sect Master of the Supreme Dao Sect. He sat cross-legged atop the furnace, eyes slightly closed, his being exuding the mysterious Tai Chi Dao Rhyme.

In his eyes, devouring the Jiuli World and refining billions of barbarians was merely a step in his grand plan.

As the entire Jiuli World was wholly absorbed into the Furnace of Eight Trigrams, the lid thunderously closed, and the Eight Diagram patterns on it instantly lit up with dazzling light. Inside the furnace, the endless Chaotic True Fire roared into life, beginning to refine everything of the Jiuli World.

The Jiuli Barbarian King's roars of anger, the Great Witches' howls, and the countless barbarians' wails interwove into a harrowing scene inside the Furnace of Eight Trigrams.

However, these sounds were soon swallowed by the burning noise of the Chaotic True Fire.

The Supreme Dao Sect Master, expressionless, urged the Furnace of Eight Trigrams, his divine thought penetrating inside to carefully sense the Ancestor Witch Essence Blood contained within the Jiuli World.

The Jiuli Barbarian Clan, as descendants of the Witch Clan, although of diluted blood, the essence blood of billions, when gathered and refined through the Furnace of Eight Trigrams, could yield a considerable amount of Ancestor Witch Essence Blood.

His aim was precisely to use this Ancestor Witch Essence Blood to arrange the legendary Twelve All Heaven God Slaughter Array. This array, originally created by the twelve ancestor witches formed from the essence blood of the great god Pangu after the Heaven and Earth Opening, possessed immense power capable of destroying heavens and earth. Once set, it could condense Pangu's true body, wielding the supreme power to open heaven and earth.

The Supreme Dao Sect Master was well aware of the massive threat Xu Qing posed to the Supreme Dao Sect after attaining Immortal. If his strength could not be enhanced quickly, the foundation of the Supreme Dao Sect might crumble overnight. And the Twelve All Heaven God Slaughter Array was his greatest backing to counter Xu Qing.

The destruction of the Jiuli World, in the vastness of Taixu, was like a stone cast into a lake; though it stirred a ripple, it was soon engulfed by the endless darkness. Yet, for those mighty beings who watched the movements of the Pure Yang Realm and the Supreme Dao Sect, the disappearance of the Jiuli Realm foretold an oncoming, more intense storm.

Within the Pure Yang Realm, Xu Qing naturally sensed the disturbance from Taixu. His brows slightly furrowed, and his powerful divine thought instantly penetrated layers of void, seeing the raging Furnace of Eight Trigrams and inside it, the struggling and wailing Jiuli Barbarian Clan, as well as the Immortal Sect Disciples he had sent to the Jiuli World and his eldest son, Xu Xuanhu, amongst others.

"Supreme Dao Sect, can't contain themselves anymore, can they?" Xu Qing's eyes were cold, an invisible fire of anger burning in his heart.

He turned around to look at Feng Wu beside him. The actions of the Supreme Dao Sect Master had already torn away the last vestiges of decorum, and the ensuing struggle promised to be more brutal.

"Ah Wu, truly the tree desires tranquility, but the wind does not cease." Xu Qing sighed lightly, then narrated what was happening.

Feng Wu showed a worried expression, "Husband, Xuanhu he…"

Xu Qing held her hand, speaking softly, "Xuanhu is protected by the three generations of Black Mountain old demons. Though their self-awareness is constantly worn away, their Divine Skills grow increasingly unpredictable. Even if I took action, I couldn't resolve them quickly. You need not worry."

Feng Wu breathed a sigh of relief at his words.

Xu Qing then let out a cold laugh, "Besides, if I don't go, the Supreme Dao Sect Master won't resort to the most extreme measures."

He possessed the Taiyi Dao, perfectly clear on the Supreme Dao Sect Master's intentions.

If he didn't go, the opponent would take the chance to complete Pangu's true body to counter him.

If he went, the opponent would seize the opportunity to lure him into the Twelve All Heaven God Slaughter Array.

This is one of the top killing arrays in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds. Below the Taoist Ancestor, apart from Primordial Infinite, no one is sure of retreating unscathed.

Moreover, Xu Qing is now not in his immortal true form.

If this avatar were captured by the Supreme Dao Sect, who knows what method they might use to trace back and endanger his true form.

"Just at a perfect time, neither early nor late, the Supreme Dao Sect Master chose to refine the Jiuli World. There must be more to it," Xu Qing pondered internally.

He realized if the Supreme Dao Sect Master could have refined the Jiuli World to complete Pangu's true body long ago, why wait until now to act.

Musing over the intricacies, after the operation of the Taiyi Dao Seed, he finally discerned the Heavenly Secret.

"So, it was due to the Jiuli Barbarian King entering the Ancient God Hall."

Xu Qing, seeing through the Heavenly Secret, understood it was the Jiuli Barbarian King's previous entry into the Ancient God Hall, gaining an opportunity, further stimulating the Ancestor Witch Bloodline within him, which made the Supreme Dao Sect Master see hope in refining the Jiuli World to complete Pangu's true body. Therefore, after adequate preparations, combined with the formidable threat posed by Xu Qing's return, he decisively launched this plan.
