Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

Du Ruhui paused, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"what you up to!?"

Lu Yuguan suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with madness!

He grasped the inner core and poured all his soul power into it without reservation!

"I've decided on you—"

"Full of fire...formless!"

boom!

The inner core suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light, transforming into a magnificent phantom!

hold head high--

A deafening dragon's roar echoed through the valley!

A golden dragon shadow soared into the sky, its scales and claws fully revealed, exuding majesty and vastness!

The oppressive aura it exudes...

It’s the God Transformation Stage!

The sinister smile on Du Ruhui's face froze instantly, turning into utter horror!

"impossible……"

"That's clearly impossible!"

The golden dragon lowered its head, its cold dragon eyes locking onto him.

hold head high--

The golden dragon phantom roared, carrying monstrous flames, and pierced through Du Ruhui's body!

Du Ruhui's pupils contracted sharply, his face filled with disbelief.

"How could..."

He looked down.

On the chest.

A huge hole suddenly appeared, its edges charred black, and demonic energy surged out like a burst dam.

"Do not……"

"Do not!!!"

Du Ruhui let out a hoarse voice, his body swayed, and he fell straight backward.

Pfft!

Dust rose slightly.

His eyes were wide open, staring intently at the sky; he had no hope of survival.

Lu Yuguan knelt on one knee, panting heavily.

The Dao patterns on his cheeks gradually faded, and his cultivation level dropped back to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

He forced himself to sit up and quickly walked to Li Le's body.

"excuse me."

After whispering something, Lu Yuguan quickly wrapped the body up and carried it on his back.

The lake surface returned to calm.

Unbeknownst to him, a colorful black bird perched quietly on a branch in the shadows of the deep forest, having witnessed everything that had just happened.

Lu Yuguan dared not delay; though his steps were unsteady, his speed was by no means slow.

Entrance to the Tomb of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Cao Yin was leading more than ten servants, armed with weapons, preparing to break in.

"Master!"

"Demonic energy is surging within the tomb; something must have happened!"

"It's a servant," a servant said urgently.

Cao Yin's expression was grave: "Enough with the nonsense, come inside with me!"

Just as he was about to leave, a figure staggered out from the mist.

"Brother Lu!"

Cao Yin was shocked and rushed forward.

Lu Yuguan was soaked to the bone, his face was as pale as paper, and he was carrying a corpse on his back.

"Brother Cao..."

His voice was hoarse as he gently laid the body down.

"This is?"

Cao Yin's tiger-like eyes narrowed.

"Prince Li Le."

Lu Yuguan gasped, "It's a long story. Please, Cao family, give him a proper burial first."

Cao Yin gasped, "How could the Prince have died here?!"

Lu Yuguan shook his head: "We'll discuss the details later. The emperor has already killed him and seized the dragon aura. The next one will be the crown prince. I must rush to the capital immediately!"

After saying that, he didn't wait for Cao Yin's response and quickly formed hand seals.

"Open sesame!"

scoff-

The air in front of him distorted, and a black crack suddenly tore open!

Lu Yuguan glanced back at Cao Yin.

"give it to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crack quickly closed.

Cao Yin stood there stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

"Is... leaving now?"

He looked down at Li Le's corpse, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly waved his hand.

"Somebody come!"

"Bring the prince's body back to the manor and give him a proper burial with the highest honors!"

"Yes!"

The servants responded in unison and carefully lifted the body.

Cao Yin gazed into the depths of the Tomb of Ten Thousand Beasts, his brows furrowed.

"A storm is coming..."

He sighed deeply and turned to go back to his residence.

*

Kyoto.

The sky suddenly darkened, as if a black pot had been turned upside down.

Fu Xiangqing was reviewing memorials at his desk when he suddenly felt the light dim and looked up abruptly.

Dark clouds loomed over the city outside the window, with faint flashes of lightning.

"Something's wrong..."

Fu Xiangqing put down his pen and strode out of the main hall.

A young eunuch came running up, his face ashen.

"Prime Minister... Prime Minister!"

"Strange celestial phenomena! Strange celestial phenomena!"

Fu Xiangqing frowned: "When did it start?"

“Just now!”

The little eunuch's voice trembled, "The sky over the capital suddenly turned completely dark!"

Fu Xiangqing looked up.

Dark clouds surged, tinged with blood, and a chilling pressure slowly spread out.

His heart sank.

"Go quickly and invite General Chen!"

"Yes!"

……

Chen Mansion.

Backyard gazebo.

Zhou Zhou gently placed the chess piece down.

"Won."

Chen Xian stared at the chessboard, his eyes wide.

"impossible!"

He scratched his head. "When did you set this up?"

Zhou Zhou smiled slightly: "You're distracted."

The moment the words were spoken, the sky suddenly darkened.

Chen Xian was stunned.

"It is going to rain?"

Zhou Zhou's smile vanished, her pupils contracted slightly, and she abruptly stood up to look at the sky.

"It's not rain..."

Chen Xian stood up as well.

"what happened?"

"It's demonic."

"Demon energy?"

Chen Xian's expression changed.

He tried to sense it, but he couldn't detect anything.

Zhou Zhou turned to look at Chen Xian: "Very faint... but extremely cold."

"Something's not right... Let's go out and check it out."

Chen Xian nodded.

"go!"

……

Deep in the mountains outside the city.

Li Chongjiu sat cross-legged inside the cave, closing his eyes to rest.

Sudden.

The birds took flight in fright, chirping and squawking incoherently.

Li Chongjiu suddenly opened his eyes.

Outside the cave, the sky was dark, and dark clouds obscured the sun.

"what happened?"

Li Chongjiu released his spiritual power, which quietly spread to Kyoto.

A familiar dragon aura, mixed with demonic intent, soared into the sky!

Li Chongjiu's expression changed drastically, and he abruptly stood up.

"Li Ping!"

"You finally came!"

Having said that, he moved like lightning, heading straight for the palace.

……

Bai Mansion Villa.

Emperor Xuanyu crossed his legs and took a sip of tea.

"Tsk."

"The tea you brewed is no good."

Jinluan Taizu rolled her eyes at him: "Drink it or don't, it's up to you."

Emperor Xuanyu chuckled.

"When we get back to the Immortal Realm, I'll let you try some of the Taixu Sect's..."

The words are not finished yet.

Xuan Yu's movements suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Emperor Taizu of Jinluan raised an eyebrow.

Xuan Yu Taizu remained silent, his expression solemn as he looked up at the sky.

Dark clouds rolled in from the sky.

“Something’s not right,” Emperor Jinluan frowned, “These clouds…”

Xuan Yu Taizu suddenly stood up and instantly rose into the air.

He stared intently at the center of the dark cloud.

Such powerful demonic energy!

Emperor Taizu of Jinluan then ascended into the sky, his expression solemn.

"Demon cultivator?"

"It's probably the group from outside the region that has arrived."

*

The dark clouds hung even lower.

Lightning flashed like silver snakes, illuminating the sky and earth with ever-changing light and darkness.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the clouds.

A figure slowly descended.

Li Ping was surrounded by demonic energy, his dragon robe was tattered, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was still clutching a human head in his right hand!

The head was covered in long, flowing hair, and the face was beautiful, but the eyes were wide open, clearly indicating that the person had died with their eyes open in disbelief.

It was Ji Shan.

Li Ping hovered in mid-air, looking down at Kyoto, a cruel smile curving his lips.

“My son…”

"Knowing I've returned, why don't you quickly show yourself to greet me?"

Fu Xiangqing trembled and almost lost his balance.

He stared at the sky in disbelief.

His Majesty……

He's gone mad...

Chen Xian and Zhou Zhou had just stepped out of the mansion when they heard the sound and looked up.

"That's... Li Ping?"

Chen Xian was shocked.

Zhou Zhou's gaze was icy: "He has completely fallen into demonic possession."

Emperor Xuanyu gazed at Li Ping not far away, his expression solemn.

"Trouble..."

"This fellow has mastered demonic arts and even killed Ji Shan. He is probably close to becoming a god."

Emperor Taizu of Jinluan snorted coldly.

"so what?"

"If we join forces, what are we afraid of?"

Li Ping's gaze swept across the entire city, finally settling on the East Palace.

"Chonglin..."

He called out softly, but his tone was icy.

"Your father has come to take your dragon energy."

With that, he clenched his right hand, and Ji Shan's head exploded and was completely devoured by demonic energy!

Li Ping looked up to the sky and roared!

"today……"

"I will ascend to the immortal throne by stepping over the corpses of the Li family!"

Boom!

Thunder roared, and crimson lightning ripped across the sky!

The entire city of Kyoto trembled!
