Chapter 1203B. Furnace Saint
Chapter 1203B. Furnace Saint
The complexions of the Saints changed before they composed themselves. They kept their previous silence, but the burning heat in their eyes only rose.
The Space Laws were good, but there was doomed to only be one. Not everyone here would have a share. But this great furnace was different. If things were as they thought, this was a good fortune and they could all share in it.
They all glanced at each other and immediately understood each other’s thoughts.
Then, their gazes all fell on Peachy. She certainly felt this. She furrowed her eyebrows and respectfully said, “I would like to ask the Saints to please dispel this junior’s doubts. What is wrong with that great furnace?”
The first one to speak was a female Half-Saint. “Peachy, this matter involves the path of Saints; it is useless for you to know about it.” She paused for a moment and said, “Peachy, contact the Spring Master. If he is willing to give up on this person, I am willing to pay a certain price.”
The other six Saints hesitated for a moment before nodding one after another.
For a Saint to say they would pay a price, it naturally wasn’t something that a common person could understand. Even if the word ‘certain’ was added, it was still an extreme benefit that reached the skies.
And now there wasn’t just one, but seven Saints saying it together…this was a price that even the Peach Blossom Spring Master had to consider seriously.
It was hard to say whether that great furnace in Qin Yu’s hand once belonged to the Furnace Saint. There was a chance they would get nothing in the end after rashly making such a promise. But if there was only a one percent chance, or even lower than that, they were willing to try.
Crossing the sea…Half-Saint…
Although they were honored as Saints, they found it difficult to see the other side. This sort of pain and torment could not be imagined by those who hadn’t personally experienced it.
There was no hypocrisy to it.
Peachy’s complexion changed. Although she was the only beloved daughter of the Spring Master and had an incomparably honored status, she didn’t dare to neglect the will that came from seven Saints.
“I ask the Saints to please wait a moment!”
Peachy stretched out a finger and touched the hanging peach blossom in the air. She closed her eyes, as if sensing something. A moment later, the peach blossom opened. A mote of light flew out, rapidly inflating and turning into the figure of a middle-aged man in Taoist robes.
“We greet the Spring Master!”
The seven Saints bowed.
The middle-aged Taoist’s facial features were blurry. He calmly said, “There is no need to be so polite. Please rise.”
The female Half-Saint said, “Peachy should have passed our message to you. We ask the Spring Master to be open-minded and give us this chance.”
If they could forcibly seize it, they would have done so long ago. But facing the master of Peach Blossom Spring, they didn’t have full assurance. Since they couldn’t take it, they could only ask. The seven Saints were aware of this, and thus their tones were respectful.
“We ask the Spring Master to allow us!”
“I will surely pay the Spring Master a satisfactory price!”
The middle-aged Taoist nodded. “I understand why you are asking me this, but the great furnace in Qin Yu’s hand isn’t what you think it is. And, this junior’s destiny is entangled with my Peach Blossom Spring. That is the reason why I have interfered in today’s matter.”
A True Saint condensed the Great Dao, every world and action they did resonating with the world. If what he said wasn’t true, the Saints here would feel it.
Now that they heard him, they couldn’t help but reveal disappointment in their eyes.
It actually wasn’t something from the Furnace Saint…
The female Half-Saint said, “I have disturbed the Spring Master. As an apology, I will withdraw first and no longer ask about this junior. Then, goodbye.”
She turned and stepped away, directly vanishing from sight.
“We ask the Spring Master for forgiveness!” The other six Saints bowed and disappeared.
They had alarmed the Spring Master, and because they had received an explanation, they owed something in return. But, the more important reason behind them leaving was that they could no longer see the possibility of suppressing Qin Yu. With the protection of the great furnace, no matter how many sea monsters there were, it would just be a matter of time until they were all killed.
When the Saints left far away, the middle-aged Taoist looked at Peachy with gentle eyes. “Just wait here. After he breaks the curse, you can bring him back to Peach Blossom Spring.”
“Yes, father.”
The middle-aged Taoist turned back into a mote of light and flew into the peach blossom. The petals closed back up, restoring itself to its previous half-open, half-closed state.
Peachy turned and looked towards the depths of the Land of Disorder where the roars of sea monsters rang out and the smell of blood soared to the skies, and her eyes brightened.
Just now, her father had once again mentioned that Qin Yu’s fate was entangled with Peach Blossom Spring. He should have been referring to her…just what did this person have to do with her?
…
The Abyssal Titan raised a hand, bursting out with destructive energy and shaking away the swarms of sea monsters.
Blood rained down from the skies, filling the senses with the acrid stench of blood!
But at this time, the Abyssal Titan that was deep in the midst of slaughter suddenly stiffened. He was instantly attacked by several sea monsters.
Hum –
With a tremor, the Abyssal Titan disappeared and the great furnace arrived. Qin Yu appeared inside.
“Did they really leave?”
Old Turtle hurriedly said, “Master, you ordered me to keep track of the status of those Saints. I have confirmed that the seven Saints have left.”
Qin Yu’s eyes flashed. “You’re saying that the aura of the strongest Saint is still here?”
“That’s right.” Old Turtle hesitated for a moment, “Master, would you like to take a look?”
Qin Yu took a deep breath and said, “We won’t do anything at all. Since this Saint doesn’t want to make himself known, we will pretend we don’t know anything.”
Whether it was eight Saints or one Saint, the truth was that it didn’t matter to Qin Yu.
Because if they wanted to kill him, just one was enough.
So it wasn’t the time to relax yet…still, he could let out a breath of relief.
With just one Saint left, if they wanted to harm him, they had no need to wait. If they kept silent then it proved that his and Old Turtle’s previous guess was correct.
A light suddenly lit up in the depths of his mind. Qin Yu thought of a possibility – Zhou Lei had once said that a cultivator from Peach Blossom Spring was waiting in the Endless Sea. Then, could this Saint be the Peach Blossom Spring Master?
There was a high possibility!
After all, according to what Qin Yu learned from the four cultivators, the Peach Blossom Spring Master was a True Saint who had crossed the sea and reached the peak. This conformed with Old Turtle’s judgement of ‘very strong’.
If he looked at things from this angle, then only a peak True Saint would be able to frighten and deter seven Saints into not doing anything, and also subsequently retreating.
The Peach Blossom Spring Master already perceived the path of Space Laws, so it was unlikely he would harm him. In addition, he once asked Zhou Lei to convey his desire to join Peach Blossom Spring. And this other party came here to test him…it made sense, it all made sense!
He took a deep breath, a sharp light in his eyes. If this was true, it would be the best case situation for him. But even if what he said wasn’t true, the other party shouldn’t have any ill intent towards him.
As he thought before, if this other party wanted to make a move they would have done so already. They wouldn’t have waited this long.
He closed his eyes and started to restore himself.
Shua –
Qin Yu opened his eyes, light surging within them. He took a step forward and his figure vanished from sight.
A moment later, the Abyssal Titan arrived with a roar.
Bang –
He punched without hesitation, attacking the sea monsters that crazily rushed at him.
Come!
The blood-drenched slaughter became even more violent.
Since he was likely in the middle of a test, the better his performance was, the more likely it was that he would receive the attention of the Peach Blossom Spring Master.
Still, even if he successfully entered Peach Blossom Spring, he still had no idea what his next step would be.
But it was clear that the higher his status was and the more valued he was, the greater his chance to rescue Ning Ling…and even You Qi!
After a burst of violent strength and feeling himself weakening a bit, Qin Yu decisively summoned the great furnace.
This thing was truly an incredible treasure. With it in hand, where couldn’t he go in the vast world? Qin Yu began to suspect that even a Saint wouldn’t be able to easily damage it.
But why would this thing appear in the Endless Sea, and not be discovered by people after so many years?
He didn’t understand, but he didn’t really care either. In any case, it was enough that the Great Furnace was in his hands!
Fight, rest, slaughter, rest, kill rest…Qin Yu didn’t pause in this entire process. It was like he had become a killing puppet completely unaware of fatigue. The number of sea monsters that perished beneath the Abyssal Titan’s fists was nearly incalculable.
The most direct and terrifying scene was that where Qin Yu was now, the sea had already turned red. It wasn’t that the water had been dyed with blood, but that sea water had been completely replaced with blood, turning into a true sea of blood!
Cruel and ominous intent filled the air as strong winds howled about. One could even hear screams and shrieks of anger and unwillingness flitting across the wind.
A dark killing intent lingered, turning the skies dark and dropping the temperature in the air. Even snow began to fall.
Even though these were snowflakes, they were actually blood flakes.
Because they were the same color as the sea, a deep red. Each snowflake emitted a light curse aura.
At the start, Qin Yu’s blood boiled from the brutal slaughter. But once the killing turned into a habit, even an instinct, he started to become numb to it.
Kill, kill, kill…until nothing was left!
When the last sea monster was crushed by his formidable strength and he looked around to see not a single stir, he finally paused. He had killed all of the sea monsters.
His mind relaxed and his eyes fell into darkness. Fortunately, his instincts still allowed him to respond. Before his consciousness faded away, he summoned the great furnace.
The instant Qin Yu fell into the great furnace, he fell asleep. He didn’t even have the energy to see what was happening to his body.
