Chapter 263: Going All Out

“Heaven and Earth Furnace!”

Lin Fan roared, his eyes blazing with ferocity, a mixture of madness and fearlessness.

In an instant, a radiant furnace shot forth, spinning rapidly in midair. Divine dragons coiled around it, their presence exuding an aura of profound mystery and ancient power throughout the underground world.

“I’ll make you pay the price,” Lin Fan said coldly, his voice calm now as he tightly gripped the pitch-black arm that had pierced through his body.

“Bang!”

The Heaven and Earth Furnace instantly opened, and the divine dragon roared to life, swallowing Lin Fan in an instant before disappearing into the furnace itself.

“Boom!”

In the blink of an eye, the furnace sealed shut, restoring silence to the underground world. The golden蝌蚪 characters floating in the air began to rotate, circling the surface of the furnace before glowing brilliantly and merging into it.

“Hahaha!”

Lin Fan violently tore the pitch-black arm from his body. A massive, grotesque hole gaped in his chest, blood gushing forth like a torrent.

Lin Fan’s breath grew heavier and more labored. Standing precariously, he glared at the floating black arm, a cold sneer curling his lips.

The black arm slammed repeatedly against the Heaven and Earth Furnace, sensing the terrifying power within. Explosive impacts rang out, but the furnace remained unmoved.

Watching the desperate struggles of the black arm, Lin Fan laughed bitterly in his heart. Though he didn’t know the exact rank of the Heaven and Earth Furnace, he knew it was a legendary artifact capable of melting even heaven and earth themselves.

The black arm radiated a terrifying ancient power, unleashing a fist that seemed to pierce through layers of emptiness, like a primordial force splitting the heavens with unstoppable might, crashing toward the furnace.

“Boom!”

The Heaven and Earth Furnace trembled slightly, ripples spreading across its surface before vanishing in an instant.

“Hahaha! Stop wasting your strength. Your doom has arrived,” Lin Fan laughed wildly as《Blood Sea Cultivation》continuously repaired his wounds.

However, an enigmatic force clung to the wounds, preventing them from healing properly.

“Heaven and Earth Furnace, refine for me…”

In an instant, the previously tranquil furnace roared to life. Divine dragons writhed within, spewing flames that consumed everything. The inner walls of the furnace radiated brilliant light. At this moment, both Lin Fan and the black arm were immersed in a world of fire.

“Ahh…”

Lin Fan writhed on the ground, clutching his head and screaming in agony as the all-consuming flames ravaged both his body and soul.

Everything—his past, present, future, memories, and consciousness—would be refined within the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

The black arm writhed and twisted, its flesh glowing brilliantly as it resisted the refining force. But in an instant, its dark glow dimmed, and scales began to fall from its surface.

“Boom…”

The black arm slammed against the furnace walls, but soon began to bend and waver midair, threatening to collapse.

“Hahaha…” Seeing the pitiful state of the black arm, Lin Fan laughed maniacally. Even if it cost him his life, he would destroy this black arm.

“Ding! Congratulations,《Indestructible Demon Body》experience increased by five million.”

“Ding! Congratulations,《Indestructible Demon Body》experience increased by five million.”

The black arm struggled, ancient powers erupting from its surface, resisting the refining force.

“Refine it for me…” At this moment, Lin Fan had completely committed himself.

“Bang!”

The ancient power entwining the black arm shattered piece by piece, the refining force obliterating everything.

“Ding! Congratulations,《Indestructible Demon Body》experience increased by six million.”

“Ding! Congratulations,《Indestructible Demon Body》upgraded to level 17.”

At this moment, Lin Fan’s right leg was completely gone.

Although《Indestructible Demon Body》was gaining experience, the toll on Lin Fan was immense. His right leg had been utterly refined by the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

Though the Heaven and Earth Furnace was Lin Fan’s artifact, it made no distinction between friend and foe. Once inside, all would be refined.

Plop…

The black arm fell to the bottom of the furnace. The immense refining force left it helpless, one of its mighty fingers vanishing into nothingness.

But the black arm refused to give up. At this moment, it turned toward Lin Fan, the remaining four fingers moving along the furnace floor—it aimed to kill the one who had dragged it here.

Lin Fan’s breath grew increasingly ragged, his body disintegrating. But he understood the arm’s intent, his eyes blazing with murderous intent as he glared at the black arm.

“Want to kill me and escape? Don’t dream,” Lin Fan sneered.

“Maximum refinement!”

“Ding! Congratulations,《Indestructible Demon Body》experience increased by one hundred million.”

Outside the Sea-Burial Demon Land.

Everyone hovered in the air, staring in disbelief at what lay below.

They never expected the Sea-Burial Demon Land to collapse.

The earth sank, and the sea roared.

“What happened?” Elder Qinghuo’s face was grim. His sect disciples were still inside.

The demon clan’s patriarch felt an ominous premonition. The changes in the Sea-Burial Demon Land had exceeded his expectations. Could something catastrophic have occurred?

“Prince…” King Qin was deeply anguished, but the sea covering the Sea-Burial Demon Land churned violently, concealing everything.

“Help us…”

At that moment, cries for help echoed from the turbulent sea surface.

“Someone’s coming out,” Elder Qinghuo’s expression changed. With a wave of his hand, the turbulent sea calmed, eventually condensing into a single droplet.

Perceiving the power of the rules, the impossible became possible.

“It’s my Flame Sect disciple,” Elder Qinghuo was relieved when he saw the figure.

At this point, disciples from the major sects emerged one after another, and the elders of the other sects also relaxed slightly.

King Qin stared intently below, searching desperately for his son.

“What exactly happened?” As everyone landed, they immediately began asking questions. The Sea-Burial Demon Land was far too strange, completely different from the records.

“Elder, it’s too terrifying down there. Our seniors are all dead,” a Flame Sect disciple cried out, having barely escaped with his life. Down below, they had encountered many monsters, especially the flame-covered giants, which were absolutely terrifying.

“Where is Senior Zeng?” At this point, Elder Qinghuo asked.

“Elder, we don’t know either. After entering through the entrance, we were separated. We don’t know where Senior Zeng went.”

“Elder, that place isn’t a forbidden land at all—it’s hell. The monsters there are too terrifying.”

“Did anyone see my son? He’s short, not tall…” King Qin searched through the crowd but couldn’t find his prince, his expression growing anxious.

“We don’t know either… we don’t know…” One disciple after another shook their heads. None of them ever wanted to return to that place again.

Surviving and seeing the light of day again was already a miracle beyond miracles.

If it hadn’t been for the sudden collapse from below, they would never have escaped.
