During this process, Zhou Shu was constantly circulating the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form, and he repeatedly imprinted the Five Mountains’ True Form in every cell. Under the hammering of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, they constantly became tougher and stronger.
If anyone was watching from the side, they would definitely be able to see that Zhou Shu seemed to have transformed into five towering mountains. The mountains were still burning with raging flames, and the impurities in the rocks were about to be burned away.
Time continued to flow forward. After a long time, a metallic clang suddenly came from his body.
As if he had reached his limit, he raised his head and let out a long cry.
Boom!
!!
With a series of explosions, energy exploded in all directions from his body.
All the vegetation within a radius of several kilometers was impacted by the force and fell to the ground.
The sharp power coming from afar lingered around his body, but he didn’t seem to feel it.
He clenched his fists and punched forward.
Boom!
A dazzling white light flashed, and the sharp power was dispersed by Zhou Shu.
Impressive! Zhou Shu looked at his fist and praised himself.
His face was full of joy. Now, he was really like a humanoid divine weapon. The strength of his body was shocking.
He clenched his fists and felt the boundless strength in his body.
His spiritual essence cultivation didn’t increase much, but his physical strength had undergone a tremendous change.
Now, even if a martial artist of the same level held a connate divine weapon, it wouldn’t be easy to hurt him.
During this process, the Eight-Nine Arcane Art had also reached lesser mastery.
If he encountered those Demon Kings again, he didn’t dare to say anything about Demon King Ao, but he was completely confident that he could fight Tushan and Hu Li without using his divine ability Total Annihilation.
After being reborn, my Martial Dao apt.i.tude has also been reconstructed. Now, I should be considered a true genius.
This Heaven and Earth Furnace is indeed impressive. But ordinary people can’t use this method to reconstruct their foundation. My Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique and Golden Bell Shield Technique have reached perfection, and I also have a peerless divine technique like the Eight-Nine Arcane Art. But I almost failed just now.
It would have been impossible for anyone else to succeed,
Unfortunately, even so, I was unable to break through to the Grotto-Heaven realm. This Grotto-Heaven realm is really difficult.
If Shi Changsheng heard him, he would definitely spit in his face.
How long had he cultivated? He had already reached the peak of the Earth Immortal realm!
It was impossible for ordinary people to cultivate to this level without hundreds of years of bitter cultivation!
How dare he think about the Grotto-Heaven realm?!
Now that the Heaven and Earth Furnace can’t hurt me anymore, let me see what secrets are in Yuheng Valley.
Zhou Shu looked into the depths of Yuheng Valley. After he was reborn, the most important gain was not the lesser mastery of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art or the increase in his physical strength.
It was the nature of his Iron Smelting Hands Technique. In the past, when he used the Iron Smelting Hands Technique, his hands could turn into flames, and he was not afraid of high temperatures.
Now, his entire body had this effect. No matter how strong the Heaven and Earth Furnace was, it couldn’t burn through a ball of flames.
It could be said that Zhou Shu was not afraid of the Heaven and Earth Furnace at all.
When he transformed into flames, what could flames do to him?
Boom!
Zhou Shu took a step forward. The force that had stopped him had already disappeared.
He took large strides and instantly crossed hundreds of meters.
A moment later, he arrived in the depths of Yuheng Valley.
In the air, he could already see a three-legged cauldron standing on an empty s.p.a.ce.
Several figures were sitting cross-legged around the three-legged cauldron.
Sensing Zhou Shu’s appearance, the figures turned around at the same time and let out a roar like a beast.
This was the sound he had heard at the entrance of Yuheng Valley.
Corpse puppets? Zhou Shu’s heart stirred.
He had heard from Shi Changsheng that there might be some experts in Yuheng Valley whose corpses still had remnant wills after death. They would kill everyone who entered Yuheng Valley.
These figures in front of him didn’t have the aura of a living person at all. Clearly, they were the corpse puppets that Shi Changsheng had mentioned.
While he was thinking, the figures charged at him.
Zhou Shu could clearly see that in the eyes of these figures, there were only the whites of their eyes. They looked extremely strange, but the momentum of their attacks was incomparably fierce. They were not inferior to Demon Queen Tushan and Demon King Hu Li.
Zhou Shu’s lips curled up slightly as he snorted coldly. Just in time. Let’s see how far I am from the Grotto-Heaven realm!
He clenched his fists, and an explosion sounded in his joints. His body swayed as he rushed forward.
…
A moment later, Zhou Shu shuttled through the forest in a sorry state.
“You can’t be considered a hero if you bully me with numbers. Just you wait. I’ll be back!” Zhou Shu shouted as he flew.
A few corpse puppets raised their heads and roared as they chased after Zhou Shu.
Although he was in a sorry state, he still had a smile on his face.
In the battle just now, he didn’t use Total Annihilation. However, although he didn’t defeat the few corpse puppets that were clearly at the Grotto-Heaven realm, he wasn’t injured either.
He was now extremely certain that although he had yet to break through to the Grotto-Heaven realm, he could fight a Grotto-Heaven expert without his divine ability.
If he encountered a Demon King again, he wouldn’t have to worry at all. If he used Total Annihilation, it was not impossible for him to kill a weaker Demon King.
He wasn’t afraid of one-on-one battles at all, but he was still a little lacking in strength. These corpse puppets didn’t care about martial virtue and directly swarmed forward.
His two fists were no match for four hands, which was why this situation occurred.
After walking through the forest for a while, Zhou Shu circled around Yuheng Valley and ran back to the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
Zhou Shu landed beside the Heaven and Earth Furnace and chuckled. Hehe, these corpse puppets have indeed lost their intelligence.
The corpse puppets were chasing after him, but there were no guards around the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
They were indeed as powerful as when they were alive, but they didn’t have a mind of their own now.
If they were ordinary Grotto-Heaven experts, they definitely wouldn’t have let Zhou Shu find a loophole.
On the surface, the Heaven and Earth Furnace looked like a three-legged cauldron with a lid. The body of the cauldron was covered in dense spider web-like cracks, as if it had almost been shattered by someone.
A scorching sharpness spread out from the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
The sharpness seemed to distinguish the target of its attack. It deliberately avoided the rocks, gra.s.s, and trees of Yuheng Valley, but outsiders like Zhou Shu would be attacked by it.
“I’m lacking a furnace. Follow me from now on.”
Zhou Shu reached out and grabbed the Heaven and Earth Furnace. Although the Heaven and Earth Furnace looked extremely dilapidated, it was definitely the most powerful forging furnace he had ever seen.
Using it to forge would definitely yield twice the results with half the effort.
Zhou Shu’s greatest goal in entering Yuheng Valley was to obtain the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
Buzz—
The Heaven and Earth Furnace sensed his actions and suddenly trembled violently, as if it was resisting him. The sharpness around it suddenly increased by several times.
The corpse puppets in the distance seemed to be enraged. They let out shocking roars and suddenly increased their speed by 30%. They accelerated and rushed over.
“How dare a dead thing resist me!” Zhou Shu snorted coldly. His aura erupted, and his hands pressed on the Heaven and Earth Furnace like lightning.
Boom!
He felt the Heaven and Earth Furnace resist violently. But with his divine strength, it couldn’t struggle free at all.
“Get up!” Zhou Shu shouted, picked up the Heaven and Earth Furnace, and laughed at the corpse puppets rushing over from behind. He took large strides forward and fled.
