154: Avenue Oven

Deep within the Demon Burial Abyss, the hundred-zhang flesh and blood altar pulsed like a living creature.

The broken, pitch-black horn at the top trembled wildly, forcibly tearing a huge gap in space!

Foul energy, radiating endless destruction and Chaos, surged out, and a terrifying, immortal will, transcendent over the Domain, suddenly awakened!

At the edge of the gap, a colossal claw covered in dark gold evil scales and wreathed in destructive black flames was violently tearing at the spatial barrier, attempting to descend upon this world!

A true Evil God Projection!

What was even more terrifying was that with the appearance of this foul gap, the already turbulent Chaos Qi Flow around the altar became completely violent!

Countless hazy gray Chaos lightning snakes, containing the destructive aura from the dawn of creation, frantically bred and converged!

A thunderous pressure, enough to make a Domain Realm expert Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, instantly locked onto the entire altar area, and firmly locked onto Lin Jingyu, who had just crushed the head of the Blood Slaughter Demon Lord!

chaos tribulation lightning! It was prematurely triggered by the aura of the Evil God's descent!

"Roar... My Lord... descends... You... are dead..."

The residual body of the Blood Slaughter Demon Lord, now only possessing two heads, twitched on the ground, bleeding from its seven orifices, letting out a venomous and muffled roar.

Lin Jingyu shook off the red and white filth from his hand; far from showing fear, his eyes burst forth with sky-burning Battle Intent!

"Evil God? Tribulation lightning?"

He roared, his voice like the clanging of metal, and actively withdrew some of the protective Primordial Violet Qi, allowing his vast, blazing vital energy and the aura of the Prototype of the Rule of Strength—like that of an archaic Vicious Beast—to surge skyward without reservation!

Like a purple-gold blazing sun cast into the darkness, he violently provoked the world-destroying thunder that was about to strike!

"Perfect! I'll take care of everything at once!"

Boom—!!!

As if completely enraged by this ant-like provocation, a hazy gray bolt of lightning, as thick as a water barrel, formed purely from Chaos Qi Flow compressed to the extreme, carrying the aura of annihilating all things and Evil Qi black mist, fiercely struck down!

Its target was the altar, and even more so, Lin Jingyu standing before the altar!

Before the lightning even arrived, the terrifying pressure caused the solidified blood-and-bone earth below to silently evaporate and collapse! Space groaned under the unbearable weight!

"Come!"

The purple-gold light in Lin Jingyu's eyes surged, his muscles instantly swelled like Dragons, and the dark gold divine radiance flowing beneath his skin erupted outward!

He neither dodged nor retreated; he even stomped the ground fiercely, soaring up to meet the heaven-and-earth-destroying chaos tribulation lightning!

His right fist clenched tight, Primordial Violet Qi and the Prototype of the Rule of Strength wrapped around it, and he fiercely punched out!

The punch landed!

Silently!

Only terrifying collapse formed by extreme strength compressing space!

Where the punch edge pointed, space shattered inch by inch like a fragile glass mirror! It formed a distorted, spiraling vacuum channel moving forward!

Boom-Crack—!!!

The purple-gold fist aura violently collided with the hazy gray chaos tribulation lightning a hundred zhang above the ground!

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

Only annihilation!

Pure annihilation on the level of Law!

The hazy gray tribulation lightning power and the purple-gold fist aura wildly clashed, devoured, and annihilated each other!

One annihilated space, the other annihilated energy!

A blinding light instantly swallowed Lin Jingyu's figure, forming a terrifying energy sphere that continuously expanded and contracted!

At the edge of the sphere, spatial fragments peeled off like black snowflakes.

"Hehehe... Stupid ant! How dare you directly confront the chaos tribulation lightning! Turn to ash!"

At the top of the altar, the Evil God's will that had torn open the rift let out a chaotic and greedy roar, and the huge dark gold claw accelerated its reach, grabbing toward the sphere of annihilation, intending to seize and devour Lin Jingyu's remaining power along with it!

Right at the core of this annihilation!

[Ding! Detecting that the host is currently undergoing refinement by the Chaos Origin tribulation lightning! This meets the prerequisite for the ultimate evolution of the Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body!]

[Detecting the status of the Primordial Creation Scripture (Domain Realm Minor Achievement) and the Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body (Minor Achievement)!]

[Detecting fragment of the rule of strength (Fusion complete)!]

[Detecting evolution points: 750,000 points! Satisfies the minimum deduction cost!]

[Do you wish to immediately consume 5,000,000 evolution points to fuse and deduce the Primordial Creation Scripture and the Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body, generating the Prototype of the Great Dao Furnace Art?]

The System's prompt was cold and urgent, exploding in Lin Jingyu's turbulent Sea of Consciousness!

"Five million points?! Deduce!"

The points accumulated from slaying the Blood Slaughter Demon Lord and the previous miscellaneous soldiers were instantly emptied, and it was still far from enough!

But at this moment, the arrow was on the string!

[Ding! Consuming 5,000,000 evolution points! Initiating Fusion deduction!]

[Primordial Creation Scripture analyzing...]

[Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body analyzing...]

[fragment of the rule of strength refining...]

[chaos tribulation lightning energy guiding...]

[Fusion deduction... 1%... 10%... 50%...]

An indescribable agony instantly swept through Lin Jingyu's entire body!

It felt as if every single cell was being torn apart and reorganized!

The power of creation from the Grandmist, the resilient will of the Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body, the absolute sharpness of the Rule of Strength, the destructive aura of the chaos tribulation lightning... Several supreme, vastly different, and even conflicting powers violently collided and fused, using his Physical Body as the battlefield under the System's forced assimilation!

"Ughh—!"

Lin Jingyu let out a deep roar suppressed to the extreme; the dark gold divine radiance on his body instantly flickered erratically, his skin cracked inch by inch, yet rapidly healed under his powerful vitality, and the purple-gold blood that just seeped out was instantly evaporated by the violent energy!

His body, at this moment, truly transformed into a terrifying furnace that refined all Laws and all Daos!

Outside.

The sphere of annihilation suddenly contracted inward!

An indescribable aura—ancient, heavy, embracing all things yet destroying all Laws, as if from the dawn of creation—burst forth with a roar!

Buzz—!!!

A ring of visible Chaos-colored ripples violently spread out centered on Lin Jingyu!

Wherever the ripples passed, the rampaging Evil Qi, the churning Evil Qi mist, and even the remnants of the annihilated lightning were forcibly absorbed and swallowed into Lin Jingyu's body, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea!

"What?!" The roar of the Evil God's will stopped abruptly, turning into startled confusion!

The massive dark gold claw reaching for the light sphere bore the brunt of the attack!

Hiss—!

As the Chaos-colored ripples swept over it, the destructive black flames wrapped around the claw instantly extinguished!

The indestructible dark gold evil scales emitted a piercing wail, showing signs of softening, like refined iron thrown into a furnace!

An agonizing pain that scorched the Soul transmitted back along the claw into the depths of the rift!

"Roar!!" The Evil God let out a painful roar of surprise and fury!

And at this very moment!

Lin Jingyu's tightly shut eyes suddenly snapped open!

In his left eye, Primordial Violet Qi circulated, seemingly depicting the initial separation of Chaos and the evolution of the world!

Within his right eye, dark gold divine radiance burst forth, the Myriad Tribulations cycled, and the indestructible True Spirit emerged!

The shattered wounds all over his body instantly healed; the skin beneath was no longer purely dark gold, but flowed with a strange Chaos-colored sheen, and his muscle lines seemed to contain the immense power of creation!

A terrifying aura, more than ten times more tyrannical than before, slowly awakened, like a sleeping Primordial Behemoth!

[Ding! Fusion deduction complete!]

[Prototype of the Great Dao Furnace Art generated!]

[Current Realm: Initial Glimpse (0/10,000,000)]

[Effect: Physical Body transformed into the Great Dao Furnace, capable of refining, devouring, and converting the energy of all Laws and Daos to temper oneself, greatly enhancing affinity and control over Chaos and Rule power. Comprehension of the Rule of Strength deepened!]

[Physical Body strength, power, recovery, endurance... comprehensively and significantly enhanced!]

"Great Dao Furnace... is this what it feels like to refine all Laws?"

Lin Jingyu felt the brand new power surging within him—a vast sensation of embracing everything, refining everything, and being the source of power himself!

He instantly locked onto the Evil God's claw, which had been scorched by the Chaos ripples and was attempting to retreat, and a supremely cold arc spread across his lips.

"Trying to leave? Leave some interest behind!"

He no longer punched, but instead extended his right hand, fingers spread, and grabbed at the massive dark gold claw in the air!

Buzz!

The thousand-zhang "Domain of Strength" instantly contracted and condensed into his palm!

The Domain power, fused with the Prototype of the Great Dao Furnace Art, carried a tyrannical suction that could refine all things!

"Get over... here!"

Tear—!!!

A huge, teeth-grinding sound, like cloth being forcibly ripped apart!

That incredibly tough dark gold Evil God's claw, which contained partial immortal characteristics, was actually ripped off a large chunk from the edge of the spatial rift by Lin Jingyu's grasp across the air!

Dark gold Evil God Blood sprayed out like molten metal magma, containing terrifying filth and curse power, dripping onto the earth and instantly corroding bottomless pits!

"Roar—!!! ant! How dare you injure My divine body!!!" From the depths of the rift came the twisted, furious roar of the Evil God, Lord of the Thousand-Eyed Wistulous; the entire spatial rift violently shook, as if about to completely collapse!

That terrifying will carried monstrous hatred, locking firmly onto Lin Jingyu, seemingly attempting to brand his Soul imprint.

"Noisy!"

Lin Jingyu snorted coldly, and a Chaos-colored light flashed in his palm. The fragments of the Evil God's flesh and claw, along with the sprayed Evil God Blood, were forcibly devoured and refined by the "Furnace" power in his palm!

A vast amount of incomparably pure energy, yet possessing the characteristics of Chaos Origin, surged into his limbs and bones!

[Ding! Devouring and refining a portion of the Evil God, Lord of the Thousand-Eyed Wistulous's flesh, blood, and divine blood (containing faint Chaos Origin), gained evolution points: 1,000,000 points! Comprehension of the Rule of Strength slightly increased! Great Dao Furnace Art proficiency +1000!]

"Tastes good."

Lin Jingyu licked his lips, the fierce light in his eyes intensifying. He took a step, actively rushing toward the violently shaking, shrinking spatial rift! "Give me more!"

"Roar!!" The Evil God deep within the rift seemed utterly enraged by this mad action, yet also held a trace of apprehension.

The churning foul energy suddenly erupted, forming a powerful repulsive force, while the rift accelerated its closure!

"Trying to close?" A sharp light flashed in Lin Jingyu's eyes. He held his left hand with fingers together like a sword, the tip emitting Chaos-colored light, containing the power of the newly generated Great Dao Furnace Art and the Rule of Strength, and slashed fiercely at the rapidly closing rift!

"Sever!"

Hiss—!

A Chaos-colored finger light, condensed to the extreme, shot out. It didn't tear space, but carried a tyrannical will to forcibly "sever" and "melt down"!

Wherever the finger light passed, the repulsive force field formed by the foul energy was instantly pierced and annihilated, as if meeting its nemesis!

The remaining force of the finger light fiercely struck the edge of the rift!

Puff!

A muffled sound, as if an invisible connection had been severed.

The speed of the spatial rift's closure suddenly halted. A scorched mark remained on the edge, as if burned by Chaos flames, and an aura of Chaos Origin faintly leaked out from it.

"Bastard!!!" The Evil God's roar, full of frustration and fury, finally vanished as the spatial rift completely closed.

The Demon Burial Abyss returned to deadly silence. Only the pits of Evil God Blood remaining on the altar ruins and the scorched mark at the spatial rift silently recounted the terrifying collision that had just occurred.

Lin Jingyu slowly landed, standing in the center of the ruins, the Chaos-colored light around his body gradually retracting.

He clenched his fist, feeling the brand new power surging within him, and the strange sensation of the "Great Dao Furnace" operating on its own, slowly but steadily absorbing and refining the surrounding Evil Qi and residual Chaos energy.

"The Great Dao Furnace Art... just the Prototype possesses such might..."

His gaze swept over the scorched mark that retained the aura of Chaos Origin, and he glanced at the altar horn that had completely lost its luster. "Lord of the Thousand-Eyed Wistulous... and the source of that chaos tribulation lightning... I've accepted your 'interest.' I'll come for the principal soon!"

He walked up to the massive, headless remnant body of the Blood Slaughter Demon Lord and once again performed Soul Searching.

This time, utilizing the keen energy perception and refining characteristics of the Prototype of the Great Dao Furnace Art, he forcibly stripped a clearer, more targeted fragment of information from the shattered, chaotic Demonic Soul—concerning a deadly place deep within the Demon Burial Abyss called the "Chaos Thunder Pool"!

And... the true location coordinates of the Evil God Cult's Main Altar!

The coordinates faintly pointed to... outside the territory of the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty, a terrifying sea region marked as the "Eye of Guixu in the Endless Sea"!

"Eye of Guixu... Chaos Thunder Pool..." A sharp light burst from Lin Jingyu's eyes.

This was what he needed! evolution points! Stronger tribulation lightning! The Evil God's true body!

He no longer lingered. His figure flickered, executing the Movement Technique, and he instantly vanished into the churning Evil Qi of the Demon Burial Abyss, as if merging into the spatial ripples.

A moment later, several powerful Demonic Thoughts cautiously probed from other directions within the Demon Burial Abyss, sweeping over the altar ruins that had become an absolute dead zone.

When sensing the residual Chaos annihilation aura, the terrifying corrosive power of the Evil God Blood, and the Chaos Origin imprint in the scorched mark that made their Demonic Souls tremble, all the Demonic Thoughts retracted as if electrocuted, filled with boundless fear.

"Blood Slaughter... the altar... completely destroyed?"

"It... it's that Fiend! He... he directly confronted My Lord's Projection and the chaos tribulation lightning?!"

"Quick! Send messages to all Demonic Caves! Stay away from that area! No... stay away from the core of the Demon Burial Abyss! That Fierce God... headed toward the 'Thunder Pool'!"

"The Eye of Guixu... the Main Altar is in danger... We must report this to the Great Priest!"

The fearful Demonic Thoughts were silently transmitted throughout the abyss.
