Celestial Refining Divine Scripture

"What?"

Huangfu Qing was stunned when he heard this, completely baffled!

But in the next instant, he understood.

"You dare?"

"You mongrel, do you think you're worthy of seizing my supreme treasure? Delusional!"

Huangfu Qing roared furiously, his face twisted with rage, desperately controlling the Asura Divine General, trying to slash out with the blood sword gripped in Xu Yang's hand!

What he could never have imagined was that Gu Jun awoke, restoring himself to the True Monarch level!

Let alone that he couldn't sense it—even if he did, it would make no difference!

Xu Yang's palm suddenly surged with mysterious waves, mighty as the heavens and earth, yet above even the heavens and earth, flowing like a tide over the entire Asura Divine General.

Huangfu Qing's face changed dramatically.

"How is this possible?"

He felt his control over the Asura Blood Book weakening fast!

This was simply impossible!

"Gu Jun, it must be Gu Jun!"

Huangfu Qing's eyes bulged with fury: "You want to take a treasure of my Huangfu Family? Dream on!"

Pah!

He spat out his vital blood again, trying to seize control.

A cold snort struck like lightning!

"Hmph!"

It was like a heavy, muffled thunderbolt, piercing straight through the Sea of Consciousness's defenses and slamming into his soul.

Huangfu Qing's body reeled, as if struck by lightning, and a spray of blood burst from his mouth!

"Gu Jun..."

He rasped out a hoarse roar, blood gushing from his throat, hands clawing madly, trying to grasp the Asura Blood Book.

But under Gu Jun's powers, the Asura Blood Book was being ripped away from him at a terrifying speed!

This sudden scene stunned everyone!

Huangfu Qing couldn't even sense Gu Jun's existence, let alone anyone else!

The Wuhou Hall elites all exchanged glances—they simply couldn't fathom it. Just a moment ago, the situation was overwhelmingly in their favor. How had everything reversed in the blink of an eye?

"What do we do? Do we strike?"

"Xu Yang is seizing Huangfu Qing's True Monarch's Supreme Treasure..."

After seeing through Xu Yang's intention, the group felt even more shocked!

They hadn't even dared to imagine this—Xu Yang not only dared try, he was about to succeed!

"Attack!"

The leader swept a steely gaze over the battered, pathetic Huangfu Qing, his eyes ruthlessly cold, and struck first.

With someone taking the lead, the others no longer hesitated and attacked as one!

Seven powerful elites charged at Xu Yang!

"Xu Yang, how dare you!"

"Here in Wuhou Hall's territory, after gaining Wuhou Hall's opportunities, you dare harm our disciples? Your crime is unforgivable!"

"Kneel before us!"

The seven powerful elites unleashed their Divine Techniques, their fierce roars shaking the heavens.

This patch of void was completely torn apart!

"Boy, be ready—this teleportation is going to hurt!" Gu Jun's voice sounded in Xu Yang's ear.

Xu Yang grinned—how painful could it be?

Boom!

A deafening blast erupted from nowhere.

The towering Asura Divine General exploded, transforming into a boundless bloody mist that churned and raged!

At the same instant, Huangfu Qing coughed up fresh blood!

His aura collapsed in a blink, his face went deathly pale, body swaying on the verge of collapse!

"No~~~"

"Don't let him get away!"

Huangfu Qing let out a gut-wrenching scream.

His connection with the Asura Blood Book was completely severed!

In the surging blood mist, a blood-red book flickered and vanished.

Just as the seven elites struck, the void beside Xu Yang cracked open, swallowing him in one gulp!

Rumble!!

Seven Divine Techniques smashed down, fierce as beasts.

Their power shredded and annihilated all the blood mist in the area!

When the chaos cleared—there was no one in sight!

"Where's Xu Yang?"

"Did he escape?"

"Hiss!"

Countless Martial Artists below stared upward, dumbfounded, at the void.

Nobody in their wildest dreams imagined Xu Yang could escape!

The seven Wuhou Hall elites were livid, their faces ashen, bodies shaking with fury, consumed by rage!

This was a naked, humiliating slap in the face!

Seven at the Myriad Manifestations Realm Perfection!

Even acting together—they still let him escape.

How could they face anyone if word got out?

Yet that instant of teleportation just now sent chills down their spines!

After all, this was a void sealed by True Monarch-level methods of Wuhou Hall!

Teleportation, vanishing without a trace, out of nowhere!

This was simply impossible for anyone at the Myriad Phenomena Realm!

A True Monarch?

"Huangfu Qing, you..." One of them looked at Huangfu Qing and couldn't help speaking.

Huangfu Qing seemed soulless, his eyes threatening to pop: "Useless! You bunch of useless trash!"

The seven frowned!

But no one said anything else just now.

Losing a True Monarch's Supreme Treasure—if it had happened to them, they'd be the same!

"Xu Yang..."

Pah!

Huangfu Qing spat a mouthful of fresh blood, his heart aching like it was bleeding, teetering on the brink of collapse!

The Asura Blood Book was gone!

If not for the Blood Blade Seal, he might have died here today!

"Xu Yang, now I have nothing left to hold me back!"

"All I want is your death!"

He glared hatefully at the spot where Xu Yang had vanished, as if making some cruel decision, his expression hideous with hatred!

...

Deep within the Purple Fire Celestial Prison Forbidden Land, in a certain mountain valley—

The space above the valley twisted and split open.

"Ahhh~~"

With a shrill, anguished cry, a figure crashed down in dreadful disarray!

Xu Yang smashed into the valley, his eyes rolling up as he fell unconscious instantly.

"Ahem, I did warn you it'd hurt!"

Gu Jun's embarrassed voice drifted through the valley.

How much pain did it take to make Xu Yang scream uncontrollably and pass out on the spot?

On ordinary ground, this would never have happened!

But that void bore the full might of True Monarch methods. Though just a casual maneuver by a True Monarch, it was still a True Monarch's power!

To tear a path out and teleport away, Gu Jun had to unleash True Monarch-level strength, plus withstand the crushing force of the void!

No wonder it was so excruciating!

About an hour later—

Xu Yang slowly regained consciousness!

"Hiss!"

Agonizing pain tore through his entire body, nearly knocking him out again, a thick sheen of sweat immediately covering his forehead.

His flesh, muscles, and bones felt as if they'd been crushed by a giant, then ground to dust again and again!

Even his organs seemed to have been squeezed into a pulp!

At this moment, Xu Yang gained a new understanding of the phrase "wishing for death but unable to die"!

"This hurts too much!"

Xu Yang struggled upright, his body twitching non-stop!

"Heh, it stings a bit, but when you recover, your physical body will have undergone quite the transformation!"

"Refining it like this—chances like this don't come often!"

Refining?

Xu Yang couldn't help shuddering!

Even with his resolute will, his scalp tingled with dread!

He'd rather get beaten up than go through this a second time!

That endless darkness grinding him down, the countless waves of crushing black water... It was more terrifying than the Eighteenth Level of Hell!

Xu Yang let out a heavy breath, collapsing limp to the ground.

At this moment, Gu Jun drifted out of the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant, his form now extremely solid!

To the naked eye, he looked no different from a living person!

Seeing this, Xu Yang was taken aback—the pain even seemed to weaken for a moment.

"Master, your current state..."

Gu Jun shook his head: "Still a remnant soul, but my soul is now solid enough not to fear ordinary pressures of Heaven and Earth or the tempests of the void... Still need to finish refining that pill."

Only with a physical body would he be truly reborn!

Xu Yang nodded slightly.

Gu Jun curved his palm and swept it out!

At once, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the surroundings surged in, drawn under his control, pouring into Xu Yang's meridians and marrow like gentle streams!

"Hiss!"

Xu Yang began to convulse violently, unable to stop himself from closing his eyes, teeth clenching tight!

The shock of this Spiritual Qi entering his body was no less than feeding an ancient Spirit Elixir straight to a dying old man…

"Hold on, this is just the beginning!"

Gu Jun shook his head faintly.

Xu Yang's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably. He was sure—Gu Jun had never experienced this kind of agony himself!

But he could only endure it!

Meanwhile, Spirit Elixirs were also being drawn over by Gu Jun's powerful soul power, each one crushed, releasing pure medicinal essence to nourish Xu Yang's body.

Three days later—

Xu Yang had barely recovered, maybe seventy or eighty percent!
