Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?! Chapter 1102 - 577: Eighth Life: Immortal Emperor’s Edict, Life and Death’s Desperate Predicament!

With that notion in mind.

Lu Yuan swiftly concentrated his mind, picturing himself as the Eternal Divine Furnace that refines the world's Ten Thousand Techniques.

The raging World-purifying Divine Fire served only as the fuel supplying power to the Divine Furnace.

Let the ferocious flames rage on, yet I remain unyielding!

Time ticked by.

World-purifying Divine Fire engulfed the entire world, its intensity surging higher and higher.

Ground turned to molten rivers, peaks crumbled into dust, and the clear blue heavens were scorched into a bloody red by the inferno.

The onlookers suffered from intense thirst, the blistering heat too much to bear, forcing them to withdraw from the combat zone for a sliver of respite from the overwhelming force.

Still, Lu Yuan stood immersed in the thundering ocean of fire, his form blackened to a crisp, with clear indications that his muscles and skeleton were starting to liquefy.

But as he wholeheartedly imagined himself as the Eternal Divine Furnace, the agonizing burn slowly faded away, giving way to an unparalleled sense of ease and thrill.

The ferocious World-purifying Divine Fire now acted like a mighty instrument honing his physical form and Divine Soul.

Every scorching wave purged toxins from his body, while each dancing flame reforged his skeletal structure.

"Crack!"

Cracks spiderwebbed across his skin, much like an ancient serpent molting, exposing delicate fissures.

From those splits, radiant crystalline lights burst forth, radiating a profound immortal essence.

The Law Dao Marks etched profoundly into his muscles and bones slowly liquefied and broke apart amid the World-purifying Divine Fire's blaze.

They then reconverged, growing purer and more perfect with each cycle.

Lu Yuan's whole presence became increasingly majestic, akin to an Immortal Divine Phoenix reborn through supreme Nirvana, embracing a new existence!

"What’s happening? He still hasn’t perished?"

Right then, the Sun God Son at last sensed something wrong.

He understood the horrifying, unmatched might of the World-purifying Divine Fire under his command, surpassing Divine General Jiang Ya and the rest by far.

At full power, it could incinerate a section of the starry cosmos in a blink, leaving even a Peak Venerable utterly erased without a remnant.

Yet Lu Yuan endured in the howling firestorm for more than half an hour, his physical form not reduced to cinders—instead, his presence intensified further.

This bizarre turn shook the Sun God Son to his core with deep dread.

"Is this the aura of the Nirvana Nine Transformations? Is he trying to use the Sun God Son’s hand to achieve ultimate Nirvana?"

Elsewhere, Meng Hai Zhen sharpened his stare and instantly grasped Lu Yuan's scheme.

As the top Emperor’s Son from the Supreme Origin Sacred Realm, his insight and knowledge dwarfed those of typical Emperor’s Sons.

Through close scrutiny, he quickly caught a glimpse of the strategy.

Outwardly, Lu Yuan looked flayed and mangled, like scorched timber on the verge of total consumption by the blaze.

Nevertheless, Meng Hai Zhen's shock deepened with every look, a wave of alarm and terror rising within him.

For inside Lu Yuan's apparently ruined and burned body, some dreadful metamorphosis seemed underway.

Should he complete the Nirvana, the fallout would defy imagination!

"Amitabha Buddha, Emperor Hao Ran was right, he is indeed using the World-purifying Divine Fire for transformation!"

Zen Master Jieye intoned a Buddhist verse, his face etched with utmost seriousness.

The Great Sun Zen Sect excelled in body-refining arts, famed for their robust builds and unbreakable physiques.

Pushed to the pinnacle, they could confront a Peak Venerable relying solely on bodily might.

Zen Master Jieye appeared slender in his white robes, seeming delicate and weak.

Yet the Emperor’s Sons there alone knew the colossal strength concealed in his deceptively lean body.

Precisely for that reason.

Zen Master Jieye held peerless mastery over the body cultivation path, outshining even Meng Hai Zhen by a touch.

In particular, their Zen Buddhism Buddha Venerable had drawn inspiration from the Divine Fire Sect's World-purifying Divine Fire to forge the Purifying Lotus Heart Fire, their pinnacle technique.

Hence, he possessed acute awareness of body Nirvana; despite Lu Yuan's masterful hiding, he pierced through a trace of the scheme!

Upon noticing Meng Hai Zhen and the others spotting his ploy, Lu Yuan dropped all pretense, surging the Nirvana Nine Transformations to its limit and hastening his furnace's refinement of myriad arts.

"Swish!"

Beneath the furious scorch of World-purifying Divine Fire.

All Law Dao Marks inside Lu Yuan swiftly dissolved and reformed, ultimately fusing flawlessly into unity, rendering his aura profoundly immortal!

"Not good! My Fire Dao Origin is rapidly depleting."

"We must halt him without delay; we cannot allow his Nirvana to succeed, or it will unleash a colossal calamity!"

Spotting Lu Yuan covertly absorbing his Fire Dao Origin, the Sun God Son flew into a blazing rage and bellowed furiously.

"Boom!"

Fury drained the color from his face, his hair bristling wildly, as he hastily unleashed the Emperor Bone Immortal Seal to crush Lu Yuan and block his metamorphosis.

Forged from the remnants of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, this Immortal Seal held the entirety of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor's lifelong Daoist techniques.

Indestructible in nature, it also wielded devastating destructive force.

As it activated.

The bone seal swiftly grew massive, turning into an Immortal Divine Mountain that plummeted from above, radiating an aura capable of shattering endless eras, bearing down on Lu Yuan.

At the same time.

Zen Master Jieye joined his palms, reciting a Buddhist invocation.

Right then.

A ray of golden brilliance burst from his forehead, shifting into a Vajra Devil Subduing Pestle.

Its surface brimmed with intricate engravings of Zen Buddhism scriptures, every one profoundly ancient and esoteric, brimming with unmatched might.
