Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 758 - 475: Fire Source

"Supreme Lord!!"

A cry of alarm echoed through the universe. Weide struggled to hold onto his form as the Ruyi Pearl above him emitted a brilliant and resplendent light.

In the midst of the light, a shadowy figure appeared—it was a Divine Being whose appearance could not be discerned clearly. Only a vague silhouette was visible, dressed in royal robes, with four arms each holding a Magic Artifact, reclining on a massive couch.

Indeed, it was the master served by Garuda, the god safeguarded by the Brahman Sect, Vishnu in his tripartite manifestation!

Although his figure was illusory and unsubstantial, as soon as he appeared, he eclipsed all other splendor, causing the sun and moon to dim and the heavens and earth to lose their color, demonstrating the majesty of the lord of gods.

He reclined on the massive couch, not deigning to stand, simply lifting one arm. On that arm, a finger pointed to a chakram—the Divine Artifact known as Miaojian.

The slowly spinning Miaojian Wheel seemed to hold infinite wisdom, revealing the truths of the world, encompassing life and death, yin and yang, past and future, creation and destruction, symbolizing the right and power of the supreme god among gods.

However...

In the face of this divine descent, the Martial Artist showed no fear. He unleashed the Heavenly Stele, shattering it once again.

"Boom!!!"

The power of the Divine Martial broke the void, smashing into that brilliant light and managing to penetrate the divine shadow, striking the Golden-Winged Peng heavily.

"Spurt!!!"

Instantly, flesh turned to mud, and blood splattered in all directions. Golden feathers and iron wings scattered as Weide’s body could not withstand the power of the Broken Void and plummeted like a meteor, crashing into the Golden Palace Temple behind him. The Sky-reaching Giant Tree shook with a thunderous rumble, fissuring with myriad cracks.

Weide crashed into the Golden Hall, and the shadow of the Supreme Lord also shattered, dissipating into nothingness in the blink of an eye.

The supreme master, the god of gods?

Though such a being exists, he has long sealed himself away, slumbering within the Great Freedom Heaven. How could he possibly manifest in this world?

This shadow was but a mere manifestation of a fraction of Vishnu’s Divine Power. Originally, he bestowed parts of his divine power as blessings to his followers. The four Garuda Kings were among them and it was their ultimate lifeline.

Yet this final safeguard did not save Weide. Before he could fully unleash this Supreme Divine Power, a strike that broke through the void ended everything.

This was a battle, not some turn-based game—did you think you could watch as he unleashed his ultimate move?

As the divine presence vanished like smoke, Weide fell into the Golden Hall, and the Martial Artist advanced, manifesting an ancient Divine Palace, aiming it towards the Golden Palace Temple.

"Rumble!"

The ground shook and dust billowed. Amidst the magnificent play of light and shadow, the Divine Palace, the Golden Hall, the Giant Tree, and even Garuda, all disappeared without a trace, leaving a single person standing tall above the high heavens.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Though they had anticipated this outcome, knowing that Weide stood little chance, the sight still left everyone speechless.

Moments later, as the dust began to clear, the Sky-reaching Giant Tree had vanished without a trace, and there was no sign of the Golden Palace Temple either, leaving behind only a crater that lay silent like an abyss, a mute testament to what had once been there.

The great battle concluded, and peace returned to the heavens and earth. The Martial Artist turned back and stepped into the void, disappearing from sight.

It left the onlookers as if awakening from a dream.

"This..."

"Is it over?"

"That weak, huh?"

"We’ve waited so many years for this!"

"The Garuda King, a Calamity Realm Divine Spirit, defeated so easily?"

"His final move was never executed before the Martial Frenzied Rascal shattered his defenses with sheer force."

"That shadow must have been the Brahman Sect Leader, the Tri-Aspect Vishnu!"

"The Immortal Realm Divine Kingdom, sealed away from the world, didn’t really come down to the human realm. That was just an expression of his Divine Power. Even so, it possessed a world-shaking might, the last resort of the Garuda King."

"Alas, it was not employed. It was shattered by a single attack!"

"Hmph, the Garuda King, saving his strength for the major cause, ignoring the peril for minor gains, failing to use those means earlier, and waiting until the last moment to do so. But the Martial Frenzied Rascal isn’t foolish. Would he allow you to take action?"

"So effortlessly, he defeated a Calamity Realm Divine Spirit. To what extent have the strengths of those three reached in the last five hundred years? And that Temple of War God, able at will to become Battle Armor to protect himself and amplify his battle power—what kind of method is this?"

"Hmph, strong indeed, but not without limits. Otherwise, why not let the Garuda King act, and clash head-on with the illusory form of the Tri-Aspect, and show the world his capabilities, instead of strategically undermining him?"

As the battle ended, the livestreaming room was abuzz with various opinions from everyone.

Just then, the scene shifted, returning once more to Fulong Mountain.

Fulong Mountain, Mingxiao Taoist Temple, before the Nine Dragons Earth Fire Pit.

The Taoist Man held a horsetail whisk, waiting in leisure.

Suddenly, the void shattered, and the Martial Artist returned.

Side by side, the two entered the cave, approaching the Nine Dragons Earth Fire Furnace.

Then the Martial Artist raised his hand and cast a beam of light that flew into the Nine Dragons Earth Fire Furnace.

"What is this...?"

"Screech!!!"

The spectators’ eyes narrowed, not even speaking before the screech of a giant eagle reverberated through the cave.

Within the Nine Dragons Earth Fire Furnace, the Pure Azure Flame ignited, and within the flame, a divine bird, the Golden-Winged Peng, appeared.

The Garuda King—Weide!

Inside the Earth Furnace, Weide raged furiously. The Great Peng’s continuous cries formed these words: "How dare you imprison a god’s servant, the king of the Garuda Clan! When the Supreme Lord returns, he will make you..."

"Enough noise!"

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by a cold reprimand from the Taoist Man holding the horsetail whisk, who said, "Continue your shrill squawking and I shall refine and kill you, bringing peace to this place!"

"You...!"

With that declaration, the Great Peng fell silent, frozen within the Earth Furnace, at a loss for what to do.

If he were in a desperate situation with no possible escape, then there was no need to say more, he would surely fight to the death.

But now was not a desperate situation, those two had captured him but refrained from killing him outright, which clearly indicated they had some scheme in mind.

What scheme?

Weide did not know, but to have a chance to live was always better than death.

A person fears nothing more than being worthless, as the fate of trash need not be spelled out.

If they had a scheme and did not kill him, then there was still hope, and this matter still had room for negotiation.

As a Divine Spirit, an existence with everlasting life, Weide truly did not wish to forsake his life and enter reincarnation again.

So...

"What do you want to do?"

Weide watched those outside the furnace with a cold gaze.

In response to his question, the Martial Artist said nothing, while the Taoist Man chuckled softly, "This Earth Fire Furnace of mine is somewhat lacking in temperature. As you are a Golden-Winged Peng, possessing a Pure Azure Glazed Heart, you can serve as the source of True Fire, aiding me in Alchemy and Artifact Crafting.

In return, your sins and karma will be cleansed, and once that is complete, I will grant you your freedom."

"You...!"

Upon hearing these words, Weide’s expression changed instantly, filled with shock and anger as he looked at the Taoist Man, unsure of how to react.

The live stream viewers, upon hearing this, were also astounded.

"This..."

"Impressive!"

"Some kind of labor reform?"

"Utilizing waste, you’re unmatched, Taoist!"

"After all this time, they’ve captured a portable charger?"

"What portable charger? Clearly, it’s a mini sun. The Taoist Man really puts great effort into his work."

"Years ago, I said it, the Nine Dragons Earth Fire Furnace just isn’t robust enough, seriously hindering the Taoist Man’s efficiency in Alchemy and Artifact Crafting. Now, at last, it’s getting an upgrade."

"No wonder they didn’t let the old guy unleash his full power earlier, turns out they wanted to capture him to fuel the fire."

"It’s not that they were afraid of his powerful move, but that a clash of ultimate abilities is hard to control, they feared they couldn’t restrain themselves and might accidentally kill him."

"I knew it, with the temple master’s style, why would he use that method? Now it makes sense."

The live stream viewers discussed animatedly, poking fun at the situation.

Looking back at the furnace, Weide had a frozen expression on his face, not knowing what decision to make.

However, the others did not give him much time to decide, "Well?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Weide gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Since you have the courage to challenge the Garuda, then as King, I shall indulge your wish."

With that, he spread his wings and radiated golden light, which completely obscured his own body and spirit, transforming into a mass of golden azure-coloured flame that burned within the furnace.

As long as the green hills are there, one need not worry about firewood!

After much thought, Weide ultimately chose to accept their terms.

It was just burning some fire, after all, not being used as a mount. His dignity was not utterly trampled, nor the face of his Supreme Lord Vishnu disgraced.

Thus, he could accept this condition and wait until the day when the Cave Heaven Secret Realm was fully unlocked, when the Brahman Sect and the Divine Spirits, even the Tri-Aspect Gods, would come storming in to rescue him.

At that time, not only could he regain his freedom, but he also hoped for an opportunity to return the favor, to repay the humiliation with blood.

Enduring the indignation for a moment was nothing. As a king, he should possess such breadth of mind!

Weide comforted himself and became the fire source for the furnace.

Seeing this, the Taoist Man chuckled, then took out five Array Banners and placed them around the Nine Dragons Earth Fire Furnace.

"Om!"

As the Array Banners were set, they formed a seal. The Nine Dragons Earth Fire Furnace shook, controlling the Pure Azure Glazed Flame and gradually causing the golden light to recede and stabilize to normal.

Immediately after, the Taoist Man swept his horsetail whisk and addressed the flames, "The array is like a pool of thunder, touch it and you shall perish!"

Having said that, he no longer cared about Weide’s reaction and left with the Martial Artist.

Thus, the live stream came to an end.

Leaving the audience looking at each other in confusion.

"This..."

"Certainly the work of those with outstanding skills and boldness!"

"Imprisoning a Calamity Realm Divine Spirit to serve as the furnace’s fire source."

"Isn’t he afraid of the Brahman Sect’s retaliation, imprisoning the Garuda King is like slapping the face of the Protector Supreme Lord!"

"Hmph, as if any other method wouldn’t lead to retaliation from the Brahman Sect."

"Even if they hadn’t captured the Garuda this time, with the conduct of those three, there would have been accounts to settle with Immortals, Buddhas, Gods, and Demons after various Great Cavern Heavens entered the world."

"A debt-laden man doesn’t feel the weight, they’ve done it all already, what’s there to fear!"

"I wonder how the Brahman Sect, especially the Garuda Clan, will respond to this?"

"There are four kings within the Garuda, all of the Calamity Realm cultivation, but I fear they are no match for those three."

"The Martial Frenzied Rascal alone can suppress a Calamity Realm Divine Spirit, not to mention Li Xuanyuan, unless a Nine Tribulations True God descends, who would dare to challenge them?"

"Having captured a Calamity Realm Divine Spirit and taken over the Garuda’s Golden Palace Temple, they’ve made a fortune once again. If this continues, won’t all the Great Cavern Heavens be consumed by them gradually, just like the past Blessed lands?"

"Damn it, isn’t there a single True Immortal or True God willing to descend to the world, to suppress their arrogance?"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, their impact swiftly fermenting.
