Chapter 672: Yin Furnace

Translator: Irene Editor: X, TYZ

Amid the darkness, the Holy Emperor raised his arm . On it was a devilish, yet alluring, colored spot . It was An Muda’s last “gift” to him . The blood spiritual force within his body flowed to his arm area only to be resisted by an invisible force and was unable to pass through it .

The colored spot was formed from tangled five elemental rings . They were connected, head to tail, like a lock . They were like a ball of flowing bright light, constantly undergoing changes .

The Holy Emperor had been unable to break this “An Muda Ring . ”

Yes, the Holy Emperor named it the “An Muda Ring . ”

The Holy Emperor was wise, knowledgeable, and had seen all kinds of absolute arts that elementalists practiced, so he was extremely familiar with five elemental rings . He understood that these rings were a new Master’s first barrier . Only those who could comprehend them could possibly progress further .

The An Muda Ring was different from those he had seen before . It had life . It could grow and change, regrouping and repairing itself . It flowed endlessly, never ever stopping .

It was breathtaking, amazing, and magnificent .

The Holy Emperor disapproved of An Muda’s ways, but was exceedingly impressed by the An Muda Ring .

Breaking the An Muda Ring would allow him to heal from his injuries, but more importantly, he would be able to further advance his level .

Grandmasters reigned supreme not only because of their powers, but also due to their solitude . It was extremely cold at the top, and such was their lives as Grandmasters . This loneliness wasn’t just something that few battled together against . It was also something they experienced during training .

There were fewer and fewer things they could use as references . There were also fewer people whom they could learn from and discuss matters with . Loneliness hit them the most when they pondered over their next destination .

Ever since the battle with An Muda, the Holy Emperor had stayed away from governmental affairs and spent practically every waking hour attempting to understand the An Muda Ring .

The An Muda Ring caused him to spend a lot of time and energy, but the output was worth the effort . Seeing through An Muda’s ideology was priceless . The Holy Emperor looked forward to the day when he could finally solve the riddle . He was curious about the essence of the An Muda Ring .

And that day was near .

Compared to being on the front lines, he was much happier using his time to study the An Muda Ring .

Peeking into the insights of a Grandmaster was like exploring a whole new world .

He opened his eyes suddenly .

As he left his room, the sun was rather glaring, but it did not seem to affect him .

The guards were shocked to see him, but they quickly bowed . “Your Majesty!”

Ignoring them, the Holy Emperor flew up into the sky and stopped somewhere high above . He had a grave expression on his face as he kept his gaze in the direction of the Jadeite Forest .

Such an intense wave motion… Dai Gang… Who else?”

A new Grandmaster???

… . .

It was a lively scene in Skyheart City . As people rushed out from their houses, some flew up into the sky, while others stood on their roofs . They were all looking toward the Jadeite Forest . They craned their necks despite the futility .

There were mixed emotions on their faces . It was indeed hard to remain calm at this point .

The indescribable elemental wave motion had already disrupted the flow of heaven and earth .

Rays of magnificently colored, fluctuating lights appeared far away in the horizon . Bright light traces flashed across the blue dome of heaven from time to time . They were like falling meteors, caused by friction between surging elemental energy . The white, cottony clouds were crackling and burning, as if ignited by something, and producing a thick green smoke . The sun and moon were simultaneously visible as they released their radiance .

All kinds of strange phenomena were occurring .

“Grandmasters are freakishly terrifying!”

“Exactly!”

“Who’s the other fellow aside from Dai Gang?”

“It has to be Senior Le Buleng! Have you forgotten that he had specially made a trip down to challenge Dai Gang to battle?”

“You’re right . He’s probably the only worthy opponent . ”

“We have to call him Grandmaster Le!”

“An Muda might’ve been too old . Grandmasters Dai and Le are still in their prime . ”

“It’s hard to imagine how powerful a human can become . Even if the whole population of Skyheart City joined forces, they wouldn’t be able to resist a hit from two grandmasters, would they?”

“Definitely not!”

…

Madam Ye held her head up high, more arrogantly and stubbornly than usual . She was the only one aware that her body was trembling uncontrollably beneath her luxurious clothes . She appeared calm, but behind her sealed lips, wisps of blood from clenching her teeth too hard leaked from her gums . A bloody smell pervaded the air as she stared in the direction of the Jadeite Forest .

Are Grandmasters really invincible?

She even felt a tinge of despair and confusion . Having seen An Muda’s last strike, she had thought that that was a Grandmaster’s power and had spent so much effort in establishing Master’s Glory . This gave her confidence that Skyheart City would remain fearless even when facing a Grandmaster .

It was only now that she realized how naive she had been .

Those forces were of a different realm!

Even quantity wouldn’t be able to compensate for the disparity in power .

Madam Ye broke out in cold sweat . Her belief that Skyheart City was impregnable had been threatened, and she felt insecure .

Le Buleng was surrounded by dark flames and looked akin to a devil rising from Hell . The curling flames were pitch-black and seemed capable of swallowing all light . The restless fire danced with a distinct rhythm, like that of a pulse . Occasionally, they would form transparent ripples that spread outward in the sky .

The ripples carried a terrifying power and might that reached far and wide .

If Le Buleng was hellfire, Dai Gang would be a gust of unfathomable wind . He was always cheerful and light-hearted .

The ripples produced by the black flames did not affect his physical body . They continued spreading into the distance, as if he was merely an illusion .

Le Buleng had battled against Dai Gang many times and was very familiar with his skills, hence he unleashed his full force immediately without any warning .

His body disappeared swiftly in midair . Instantly and out of nowhere, a flaming black fist appeared from behind Dai Gang .

Lustrous lotus flowers grew and blossomed behind Dai Gang’s back just in time for the petals to roll outward and wrap around Le Buleng’s flaming fist, effectively blocking it .

Whoosh . The petals turned into ashes and dust .

Dai Gang used this opportune moment to break free, a startled expression forming on his gentle face . “These flames… Yin Flames!”

“Can’t hide it from you indeed!”

A cold groan sounded from far away as a sharp force appeared noiselessly by Dai Gang’s ears .

His eyes lit up . “I see . Golden Crow Fire generates Yin after nonstop tempering and upgrading . Amazing stuff . These Yin Flames can even combust in a void right?”

Both moved as fast as lighting . Throughout a brief exchange of conversation, both had exchanged blows at least tens of times .

The effect produced by two colliding forces that were entirely different also differed . At times these clashes disappeared without a sound, but at other times, they were earth-shatteringly loud like thunder .

Le Buleng became excited because he could feel that their current fight was different from the previous ones .

That powerless feeling he had felt when facing Dai Gang was like a nightmare that enveloped his whole life .

He had thought that they were the shackles of fate, but he was finally going to crush them!

He burst into a laughter . “It feels good!”

Dai Gang retracted his smile and adopted a stern expression . “Brother Buleng is rebelling against destiny for sure, establishing supreme absolute arts, and passing them onto the new generations . May I ask for its name?”

Le Buleng was surprised, but after some thought he mumbled, “I forgot about naming it . Eh, let me call it [Yin Furnace] . ”

Dai Gang praised, “Great name! If Brother Buleng loses, I’ll be sure to pass it on to the noble disciplines . If anything goes wrong, I’ll entrust the gifted ones to hand it down and carry it forward, ensuring that this treasure does not collect dust . ”

Le Buleng laughed out loud . “I’ve been living life my own way, and nothing matters when I’m dead, so who cares?”

Before he finished, his body appeared beside Dai Gang as he threw another punch .

Dai Gang’s eyes lit up . “There are ripples in this empty space!”

A lotus flower blossomed behind his back to block the blow .

Whoosh . The flower burned to ashes . The black flames then surged forth toward Dai Gang’s head .

Nothing much could be seen, but Dai Gang’s body withdrew speedily . His open hands and fingers were like blossoming flowers . It was a dazzling sight for all to see .

The bowl-sized lotus flowers spiraled rapidly toward the surging, curtain-like smoke .

Bububu…

The flower petals exploded into balls of light . Amid the light were pattering sounds generated by fine rain .

The seemingly soft rain had actually managed to disrupt the momentum of the black smoke .

Just then, a fist pierced through the rain curtain!

Dai Gang’s pupils shrank . He extended his palms out and struck out . A deluge of petals fluttered in the sky as heavenly music filled the air . It was as if a deity had descended .

Boom!

The petals turned into fine powder in an instant, and the heavenly music stopped abruptly .

The light ray that blossomed between them was so dazzling that it hurt to watch, and it was accompanied by a fiery explosion of elemental wave motions .

Le Buleng only felt a burst of overwhelming force approaching . Before he could react, his body shot backward like a ball for miles before he could stabilize himself .

He looked at the criss-crossing wound on his fist and grinned . There was only madness in his eyes .

That felt good!

The ground beneath him was a long crack that was three kilometers wide and over ten kilometers long, as if it were a valley . . This was the ghastly scar, left behind by that earlier blow .

Behind Le Buleng, the accumulated soil had created a dust storm that covered the sky and still whirled in the air .

It swept far across the field, extending a thousand miles away!

Le Buleng shifted his gaze toward where Dai Gang was standing .

Dai Gang was in a worse state . His palms were missing from his lower arms and astonishingly severe wounds could be found all over his body .

Le Buleng hardened his gaze . There were no bones sticking out of Dai Gang’s arms .

No bones?

“I haven’t been injured in a long time . Almost forgot what it feels like,” Dai Gang mumbled and raised his head up with a smile .

“You’re amazing indeed, Brother Buleng . The first to ever force me to unleash my true potential . How interesting!”
