Chapter 868: The Furnace Appears and the Star Realm Shakes
The sky suddenly cracked with spiderweb-like black lines. The astral terminal in Yun Yao's arms emitted a glaring red light, and the shrill alarm pierced her eardrums. She looked up at the sky, shrouded in a strange dark purple. Countless visible chains of spiritual energy dangled from the clouds, like greedy tentacles, frantically draining the spiritual energy from the various sects below.
"How...how is this possible?" Yun Yao muttered to herself, her voice filled with shock and fear. Beside her, Chu Mochen's face was solemn, his Candle Dragon bloodline stirring restlessly within him, and his Ni Lin Blood Sword hummed repeatedly, as if he, too, was uneasy about the impending crisis.
At this moment, the Star Realm terminal suddenly projected a holographic image. In it, countless cultivators were forcibly drained of their spiritual energy, their screams of agony echoing throughout the space. The scene shifted, revealing the gloomy face of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion Master. He stood before a massive furnace, ablaze with a faint blue flame, and within it, countless struggling souls could be vaguely seen.
"See, Yun Yao? This is the power of the unity of Heaven and Earth." The Pavilion Master's voice was filled with a chilling smile. "All small worlds will become fuel for this furnace, and I will become the new Heaven and Earth!"
Yun Yao dug her nails deep into her palms, unaware of the dripping blood. She suddenly thought of modern Earth before her time travel—her home, the place she cherished most. And at that moment, the warning message on the astral terminal nearly stopped her heart: "If the furnace is completed, all small worlds will be unified by the laws of nature, and modern Earth will be reduced to ruins!"
"No!" Yun Yao abruptly stood up, her Chaos Dao Foundation churning furiously within her, her spiritual energy surging. She finally understood that her journey through time wasn't just to strike back in this world, but also to shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving countless worlds. And modern Earth, the place filled with her memories and cherished memories, was in the grip of an unprecedented crisis.
Chu Mochen reached out and grasped her trembling hand, the shadow of the Candle Dragon looming behind him. "Don't be afraid, we're all in this together." His voice was firm yet gentle, but it only made Yun Yao feel even more uneasy. She knew that facing the vast conspiracy of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, facing the all-consuming Heavenly Dao Crucible, they were about to face a battle that was almost impossible to win.
At that moment, a violent tremor erupted from the distant sky, and a massive pillar of light shot up into the sky, revealing the location of the Heavenly Dao Furnace. Within the pillar, Yun Yao witnessed a terrifying scene—countless cultivators bound in chains, their spiritual energy, souls, and even their very lives being mercilessly absorbed by the furnace. Among these cultivators, she unexpectedly spotted several familiar figures: disciples of the Lingxiao Sect who had once aided her.
"They...how could they..." Yun Yao's voice was choked.
"It's a trap." Chu Mochen's eyes were cold. "Tiandao Pavilion deliberately spread the news to lure people from these sects here, just to provide more sacrifices for the furnace."
Yun Yao took a deep breath, a determined glint in her eyes. She opened the Star Realm Terminal and quickly contacted the three star domain masters of the Star Realm Council. However, to her surprise, the Burning Star Domain Master's response was as icy as a drop.
"Yun Yao, give up." The Star Burning Domain Lord had a greedy smile on his face. "Join the Tiandao Pavilion, and we can still gain a place under the new Tiandao. Do you think you can fight against Tiandao? Don't be naive!"
"So... you have been colluding with Tiandao Pavilion for a long time!" Yun Yao laughed in anger, and the power of the Chaos Dao Foundation surged wildly around her.
The Lord of the Burning Star Domain disagreed. A huge shadow of the Burning Sky Sword suddenly appeared behind him: "He who knows the times is a hero. Today, either you surrender, or..." Before he finished speaking, the Burning Sky Sword slashed towards Yun Yao with the momentum of destroying the world.
Yun Yao didn't flinch. She raised her hand and a shield condensed from chaotic spiritual energy appeared. However, just as the shield was about to collide with the Burning Heaven Sword, she suddenly saw a scene from the future. If she fought the Burning Star Domain Lord now, Chu Mochen would be seriously injured in order to protect her, and this was exactly what the Tiandao Pavilion wanted to see.
"Chu Mochen, retreat!" Yun Yao suddenly shouted, and at the same time, she used the Space Folding Technique to teleport Chu Mochen away. The Burning Heaven Sword slashed through the air, and the powerful aftermath blasted a huge crater into the ground.
"Are you crazy? Why don't you fight?" Chu Mochen asked with a frown.
Yun Yao gave a bitter smile and told him the future she had seen. Chu Mochen was silent for a moment, then tightened his grip on the Ni Lin Blood Sword. "Even if you know the future, what does it matter? I won't let you take risks alone."
"We can't fall for their trick." Yun Yao calmed down, a calculating look in her eyes. "Now, we need to find the furnace's weakness and disintegrate it from the inside."
At this moment, a strange voice suddenly rang out from the Star Realm terminal: "Yun Yao, I am the messenger of the Chaos God Realm. To stop the Heavenly Dao Furnace, you need to find the 'Chaos Core' hidden deep within the Taixu Immortal Realm. It is the key to defeating the Heavenly Dao Pavilion."
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen exchanged a glance, a hint of vigilance flashing in their eyes. However, it seemed that they had no better choice now.
"Let's go." Yun Yao clenched her fists, her spiritual energy surging. "No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, I will protect my hometown and this world!"
Chu Mochen nodded, and the shadow of the Candle Dragon fully appeared behind him, emitting a powerful pressure: "While I am here, no one can hurt you."
The two figures flashed, flying towards the Taixu Immortal Realm. Behind them, the flames of the Heavenly Dao Furnace burned brighter and brighter, and the entire star realm trembled under this terrifying power. The ultimate battle that would determine the survival of all worlds was about to begin...
