Chapter 740 - 420: Slaying the Heavenly Furnace Saint Master!

Chapter 740: Chapter 420: Slaying the Heavenly Furnace Saint Master!

Those who have ruled the Holy Land for over a hundred years are not to be trusted.

This Heavenly Furnace Saint Master has served as the Holy Land’s leader for over two hundred years.

From what the True Master of Demon Suppression said earlier, Lin Yan can roughly infer.

The Saint Master before him is no longer purely a strong figure of the Human Clan.

When one becomes one with the Holy Land, inheriting the Immortal God Arena, they also become affected by the lingering psychic remnants within it.

This is something every Saint Master knows well in their heart.

In ancient legends, it is said that an Ancient Immortal returned from the river of time, using the dojo as a foundation.

But generations of human ancestors had their doubts about this.

Some believed that the Ancient Immortals had never perished and only returned by seizing an opportunity.

Others thought the Immortal God Arena left too many traces, reflecting the past of ancient Immortals.

The world believes that beings such as the Immortals live eternally; even if only fragments remain, they are as vast as the ocean compared to human experience!

A dead True Dragon, even if just a fragment of scale armor, is far greater than an ant!

A moment for the Immortals is a lifetime for a human strongman!

If the past of Immortals is an ocean, then the fragments left in the dojo should be like rivers and lakes.

Human experience, placed within it, is nothing more than a mere wave.

A single stream of water, falling into the sea, presumes itself the body of the vast ocean!

Throughout history, opinions vary, but the truth remains unknown.

"You are not the Ancient Medical God!"

Lin Yan looked at the Heavenly Furnace Saint Master in front of him and, after a moment, shook his head.

He had, on two occasions, allowed Xuan Venerate and the Mountain Lord to sever their bloodline dojos to become the Pure Land of the Human Clan.

He promised these two Great Demon Kings that he would leave a wisp of psychic remnant, hoping for their rebirth in the future.

But he actually didn’t believe that the two Great Demon Kings would ever be reborn.

And the Heavenly Furnace Saint Master before him was completely different from the "Li Shen Sect" seen during the Demon Domain era.

Whether that "Li Shen Sect" was truly a Heavenly God returned from the river of time, Lin Yan couldn’t determine.

But the only thing he could confirm was that the one before him did not possess the awe-inspiring might of a Heavenly God.

"I am not Him."

The Heavenly Furnace Saint Master sighed and said, "If I could become Him, I would die a thousand deaths without regret!"

He said this, looked at Lin Yan, and continued, "But even if I cannot become Him, as long as I can bring Him back from the river of time, I would be willing to sacrifice my life for it!"

"Tribulation Ash?"

Lin Yan’s eyes became grave.

On this Heavenly Furnace Saint Master, he saw the traces of Tribulation Ash.

Humans influenced by Ancient Old Gods are Tribulation Ash.

Within the Holy Alliance, they are seen as Divine Servants.

"Tribulation Ashes as mere Divine Servants are not worthy to be compared to us?"

The Heavenly Furnace Saint Master shook his head slightly and said, "We, successive Saint Masters, to put it accurately, are He who reincarnates into the world!"

He sighed and said, "I thought this generation would be enough to fully recover, but I didn’t expect to be defeated by a traitor who betrayed his master."

"The True Master of Demon Suppression is a heroic spirit of the Human Clan!"

Lin Yan’s expression was icy as he reached out: "You may be the Ancient Medical God’s most loyal successor, but you are also a disgrace to the Human Clan!"

He crushed the myriad of Elixir Pills that exploded from the Heavenly Furnace Saint Master.

His golden hand, like a hill, pressed down on the Heavenly Furnace Saint Master.

"Victory is the only thing that matters!"

The Heavenly Furnace Saint Master roared as his entire body’s mana erupted, "If I succeeded today, when the Human Clan hails me as the supreme Human Emperor, even if I destroy the entire Holy Dew City, what would it matter?"

"Human Emperor?"

Lin Yan suppressed his mana and said in a deep voice, "In your heart, there are no humans! You seek supreme power and endless incense, seeing humans merely as your slaves, nothing more..."

Boom!!!

The Heaven and Earth Furnace suddenly crashed down behind Lin Yan!

Like a mountain descending from the sky!

Covering a vast expanse of land!

"Without the incense of humans, without the blessings of Ancient Immortals, would you truly strive for the Human Clan?"

The Heavenly Furnace Saint Master roared angrily, "In the world, is there truly any saint who is selfless?"

"The True Master of Demon Suppression stands before you as a saint, doesn’t he?"

Lin Yan pressed down on his flesh body.

Phantasmal lotus flowers blossomed at his feet, moving a hundred miles away.

A rumble arose, and the ground behind him cracked, with endless flames spreading!

Through sheer physical strength, Lin Yan suppressed the lord of this Holy Land, raising him above his head.

Yet the Heavenly Furnace Saint Master, at this point, had a gaze that was calm to the extreme.

No fear of death.

No anger at failure.

Only a coldness, lofty and overlooking all beings.

This Human Race Saint Master who sought to kill him was, after all, merely a mortal.

Even in death, he remained an heir of the gods!

"The True Master of Demon Suppression sought only fame and reputation, doing it for his name’s sake!"

The Heavenly Furnace Saint Master sneered coldly, "He seemed to pour his last strength for the Human Clan, yet he cannot change the fact that he betrayed his master and abandoned the gods!"

"Betrayed his master?"

The voice from the Divine Sword within the furnace suddenly emerged, ancient and wise, "If you take one more step today, your humanity will be erased, and divinity will soar!"

"From then on, the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land will no longer be a sanctuary for the Human Clan, but merely the arena of Immortal Gods!"

"The higher-ups of the Holy Alliance would not be pleased to see such a scene!"

"Allowing you to act freely would let your master’s sect fall, facing the calamity of extermination."

"Stopping you from progressing further would allow the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land for humanity to continue, and the sect from which he came to retain its teachings."

Paused for a moment, the voice within the Divine Sword sighed, "Holy Master, I have gained the means of the True Master of Demon Suppression and know the foundation of the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land. I can temporarily sever the Qi Mechanism between this Divine Furnace and him... you must kill him!"
