The explosion of the Heaven and Earth Pill Furnace was comparable to a massive nuclear explosion on an island. All immortal beasts in the Nine Heavens World were so frightened that they scurried away. Birds and beasts took flight. Even in the faraway immortal prison, the originally dark environment was now illuminated by the light coming from the cracks in the corridor.
"What happened?"
"Such a huge commotion. Could it be an immortal devouring beast?"
The immortals who didn't choose to leave the immortal prison were terrified. However, no matter how curious they were, they didn't dare to go out and take a look.
Although the judge and the others who were persuaded to leave by Old Lord and Lin Jin were already several hundred miles away, the explosion still sent them tumbling. The scorching flames set their hair and clothes on fire. Fortunately, they were far enough away so it was only slightly troublesome but not serious injuries.
Getting up from the ground, they quickly hid under a boulder.
"What a terrifying force." The old warden lay on the ground, panting heavily. His immortal pet beast was protecting him, but even so, the scorching heat still made him feel uncomfortable.
"It must be Appraiser Lin's pet beast. It's so scary. This aura is even stronger than Old Lord's azure dragon."
"Appraiser Lin is a mortal but his pet beast has already reached the level of a carefree immortal. That's amazing."
"But this commotion is too huge. Could the Heaven and Earth Pill Furnace have exploded?" one of the immortals guessed. Someone else immediately refuted him in disbelief.
"The Heaven and Earth Pill Furnace is a divine artifact. Old Lord spent tens of thousands of years refining it. Nothing in this world can damage it," one of the immortals said with widened eyes.
As soon as he finished speaking, a fireball came crashing down from the sky and smashed 3,000 meters away from them. The force and fluctuations of the impact caused them to tumble once more. If it weren't for the boulders and immortal beasts blocking the impact for them, more than half of them would have been killed by the impact.
"What's that?"
"Something fell down. Let's go take a look."
"Be careful!"
The group waited for a moment before approaching cautiously. There was a huge crater in front of them. The soil and rocks around it had been scorched and sparks were scattered across thousands of meters. It was a complete mess.
At the center of the crater, there was something stuck into the ground. It was still emitting scorching flames. Upon closer inspection, it was a huge piece of metal. Just its thickness alone was more than eight feet.
"What is this? Why does he look so familiar? "someone asked.
The next moment, someone recognized it.
"This … This is a fragment of the Heaven and Earth Pill Furnace!"
The crowd was in an uproar.
Just now, they were still discussing whether or not the Furnace of Heaven and Earth had exploded. Many people did not believe it at all, thinking that the Furnace of Heaven and Earth was a divine object that could not be damaged, and no one could destroy it.
But no one expected that the slap in the face would come so quickly.
A huge fragment of the pill furnace had actually landed in front of them. If they raised their heads to look, they would see a sky full of meteors falling in all directions. If they were not mistaken, they were all fragments of the Heaven and Earth Pill Furnace, and there were tens of thousands of them.
This meant that the Heaven and Earth Pill Cauldron had been destroyed. Furthermore, it had been blown into countless pieces.
Everyone was shocked to the extreme. There was no need to ask, there were only two possibilities for the Furnace of Heaven and Earth to be destroyed. One was that the Immortal Devouring Beast had returned and attacked the Furnace of Heaven and Earth, because only the Immortal Devouring Beast had the ability to destroy this Heavenly Treasure. The second possibility was that it was Appraiser Lin's pet beast.
At this moment, Lin Jin was surrounded by a bloody aura while Old Lord was protected by the large green carp's water vapor. Even though these two were the closest to the Furnace of Heaven and Earth, they were unharmed.
The Heaven and Earth Pill Furnace that was as large as a planet was nowhere to be seen. In its place was a giant beast covered in flames.
It could be seen that this giant beast was a wolf beast, but it had two heads, two hind legs, and four front claws. Especially in terms of size, it had already reached the size of a Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, giving off an extremely strong sense of oppression.
No doubt, in terms of aura, Xiao Huo's successful evolution had completely surpassed Old Lord's green carp transformation. He was even slightly weaker than the Immortal Devouring Beast.
The advancement from Rank 7 to Rank 8 had surpassed all his previous advancements. Lin Jin was overwhelmed with emotions.
However, perhaps because Xiao Huo's advancement had given Lin Jin a unique sense of perception, Lin Jin knew that the Immortal Devouring Beast had noticed the situation here and was on its way here.
If they didn't want to fight the Immortal Devouring Beast now, the best option was to escape.
After saying that to the Old Supreme Elder, the two of them left immediately without any hesitation.
Under Lin Jin's control, Xiao Huo reverted to his normal size and returned to Lin Jin's body.
Before Old Lord left, he took Lin Jin's pellet sea with him. After all, the pellet sea was still of great use to him so he couldn't abandon it.
Moments after they left, the Immortal Devouring Beast arrived. However, Lin Jin and Old Lord had already concealed their auras. They weren't immortals so the Immortal Devouring Beast couldn't find them.
…
In the Foreign Realms, the long silence at the edge of the dangerous Lightning Pool from before was once again broken by someone.
Two silhouettes appeared beside the now empty lightning pool.
One of them was the Beastman God's Hierarch and the other was Patriarch Xue Pao. After the two of them were defeated at Daluo Temple, they had been hiding in a secluded place, focusing on their cultivation and gathering information.
They knew that Jade Dragon Kingdom had been promoted to a premium country. They also knew that Daluo Temple had a new abbot but they didn't act recklessly.
After all, they didn't have much confidence in defeating Lin Jin, especially when they learned that Daluo Temple's new abbot was a True Immortal. Not to mention, he was the famous Monk Huo Yuan. This fact instilled fear in them.
Clearly, they didn't know the specifics and assumed that Lin Jin had mastered a technique similar to the black mist that could conceal his immortal aura. Hence, they didn't dare to act recklessly.
They had made some progress in refining the ghost prison's black mist. Now, the black mist they released could cover a larger area but it wasn't enough to seal off an entire country yet. Mainly, they felt that they were lacking so they needed help.
How were they supposed to find help?
The Beast God's cult leader had no clue but Patriarch Xue Pao was full of tricks.
He obviously knew about the realm outside the realm. He also knew that Lin Jin had come here before and made a strong enemy.
Hence, when the two of them arrived at the outer region, they started to scout around and found out about Sir God Man Man's existence. Later on, by coincidence, they found out that Sir God Man Man and the others might have died under the lightning pool. Hence, the two of them came to investigate.
"Lord Man Man was a True Immortal expert too. It's a pity he's dead. Otherwise, he would've been more than willing to join forces with us to fight Lin Jin." Patriarch Xue Pao gritted his teeth.
