A gale blew over, carrying with it sand and stone.

　　Flying stones and sand, as well as surging winds and clouds, converged at the entrance to the Celestial Burial Valley.

　　Mo Junchen raised his hands up toward the sky and tore out a large expanse of the void. He released innumerable weapons and wildly attacked the turtle that was as big as a mountain.

　　As for Liu Jingning and Duan Jiude, they stood in front of the entrance and used their Magic Arts along with a huge formation spell. They conjured many murderous weapons that continuously penetrated the advancing Sea Tribe members.

　　The Eight-Headed Serpent reverted to its true form and led the remaining members of the Exploding Heavens Faction. It was in charge of bringing up the rear, and he poured Spiritual Qi into the formation spell without stopping. He was in charge of maintaining the formation spell’s operation.

　　However, the number of people they’d been able to kill was only a drop in the bucket when pitted against the million troops of the Sea Tribe Army.

　　They’d been fighting a chaotic battle for four hours now, and it was incredibly intense.

　　…..

　　When the million troops of the Sea Tribe Army, commanded by several Sea Tribe commanders, attacked, Mo Junchen and his companions sensed them coming, and they left the Celestial Burial Valley to block the entrance.

　　When the turtle discovered that an expert such as Mo Junchen was guarding the Celestial Burial Valley, it couldn’t sit in silence and rushed over promptly. It started fighting alone against Mo Junchen.

　　Liu Jingning and Duan Jiude were now depending upon only their power to protect this region. Plus, there was unexpectedly an expert at the Earth Celestial stage among the commanders, and he possessed great power.

　　Liu Jingning and Duan Jiude were left with a bad choice, and they could only choose defense over offense. They occupied the Celestial Burial Valley’s entrance and they drew help from the land’s terrain.

　　This was the reason that the number of troops that they’d managed to kill was quite low, even after four hours.

　　“Ants, get lost quickly. The Celestial Burial Valley is the Sea Tribe’s domain. You shouldn’t dare to covet it!” The giant turtle shouted angrily.

　　The reason why it was so angry was that it would shortly be daybreak. If it couldn’t get the million troops of the Sea Tribe Army into the Celestial Burial Valley by then, the plan it had concocted during innumerable years would be ruined, and the Sea Tribe’s Protector God wouldn’t get to come back from the dead.

　　“Impudent! The Celestial Burial Valley is on the surface. So it’s a part of our Human Clan’s domain. In addition, this land became my Exploding Heavens Faction’s domain long ago. Even trifling Sea Tribe members like you dare to affront us?” Mo Junchen was quite forceful as he shouted sharply.

　　He had once been the leader of the Equipment Refining Sect, and his bearing wasn’t any less imposing than his opponent’s.

　　“Foolish thing! How can our Sea Tribe’s great rise be obstructed by a few ants like you?” The giant turtle let out an earth-shattering angry roar.

　　Its colossal body occupied a large expanse of the sky, and it was like a giant mountain that would terrify anyone. Its aura was already quite frightful and it engulfed everything like the tides.

　　At this moment, even Mo Junchen was awed by its aura and was startled. This turtle’s stage level was close to his, but its age was much higher. It was an old turtle that had lived for many years, and it was enormous.

　　No wonder it had such a great imposing manner!

　　SWOOSH!

　　At this moment, the giant turtle retreated suddenly and left the battlefield. It broke away from its entanglement with Mo Junchen.

　　Soon after, it stretched out its head toward the sky and let out a tyrannical and deafening shout, “Sea God, I’m Gui Qiangao, and I’m willing to consume 5,000 years of my life span to use the secret technique.”

　　BANG!

　　As its voice echoed, muffled thunder reverberated in the sky.

　　Mo Junchen was startled by this, and he looked in surprise at the sky. He was shocked! Could the turtle communicate with God? Did thunder echo in response after it spoke?

　　“Ha, ha, ha, ignorant and ant-like humans. I have to consume 5,000 years of my life span due to you, and I will shortly get payback for this debt.” The sea turtle glared at Mo Junchen and laughed angrily.

　　“I now have a secret technique. How so you think you can obstruct the intrusion of my army into the Celestial Burial Valley?”

　　It shouted loudly and many shining magic symbols that flickered like stars unexpectedly appeared on its large and heavy shell. A light beam also descended from the sky and engulfed the Sea Tribe Army’s million troops.

　　“Awful, this is a Void Teleportation Spell. Retreat quickly!” Mo Junchen’s expression changed drastically, and he yelled at Liu Jingning and Duan Jiude. He was quite astounded!

　　This old turtle was unexpectedly able to use the legendary Void Teleportation Spell. This was really terrible!

　　Upon hearing this, Duan Jiude and Liu Jingning, who were on the ground, chose to retreat without the least bit of hesitation, and they left the range of the light beam. They quickly retreated to the edge of the Celestial Burial Valley’s entrance.

　　At this moment, the battle stopped suddenly, and the Sea Tribe commanders stopped attacking. As for the Sea Tribe Army’s million troops, they raised their heads to look respectfully and devoutly at the giant turtle.

　　“Stop, you are just going to harm them. The Celestial Burial Valley has already turned into a Worldly Furnace, and you will just turn them into sacrificial offerings if you send them inside now,” Mo Junchen frowned and shouted.

　　Upon hearing this, the turtle’s expression changed. “Shut up, what can a Human Clan ant like you understand?”

　　After it spoke, it swept the Sea Tribe Army’s million troops with its gaze and let out a deafening shout, “Everybody, follow orders and enter the Celestial Burial Valley. After you do so, rush quickly into the central region and don’t retreat no matter what happens. Anyone who disobeys this will be beheaded on the spot.”

　　“Understood!”

　　The Sea Tribe Army’s million troops all shouted at the same time in an imposing manner. They all wore fearless expressions as if they weren’t afraid of sacrificing themselves.

　　“They’re done for! A million lives will go inside to sacrifice themselves and the Sea Tribe’s almighty being will be at least a Celestial Emperor once he wakes up.” Duan Jiude wore a bitter look. He wanted to obstruct this, but he didn’t have the power to do so.

　　In addition…

　　Liu Jingning raised her head and looked at the sky that had started shining. She got more restless!

　　It would shortly be daybreak, yet Xu Que still hadn’t come out. Once the Worldly Furnace started operating, he would probably…

　　“Wait!” A sharp voice echoed suddenly. It was the voice of the little fish in Duan Jiude’s hands.

　　It wore an alarmed look as it looked at the turtle in the air. It cried sharply, “Lord, I can assure you that they aren’t lying. The Celestial Burial Valley has already turned into a Worldly Furnace, and we will really die if we go inside.”

　　“Impudent! Who gives you the right to speak here?” The turtle flew into a rage as it looked at the little fish.

　　As a THUMP echoed, the little fish exploded on the spot and turned into a mass of mangled flesh in Duan Jiude’s hands.

　　“F*ck! You are nuts. I changed my clothes last year. And now they’ve become dirty again.” Duan Jiude was so infuriated that he stamped his feet, and he pointed his finger at the turtle as he scolded it.

　　However, the Sea Tribe Army wore a surprised look and they looked in a daze at the turtle. They found his actions unbelievable!

　　“Lord, Lil Huang was one of our tribe’s most loyal scouts, he…” A commander saluted the turtle and spoke.

　　However, the turtle stared at him and interrupted. It said coldly, “He was a scout that has been held captive. So, what loyalty does he still have? You don’t have to say any more rubbish. You must go now!”

　　BANG!

　　As white light shone on the turtle’s back, the light beam that had descended from among the clouds gave rise to powerful waves and distorted the air.

　　The Sea Tribe Army’s million troops and the several Sea Tribe commanders wore alarmed looks, and they couldn’t accept the fact that they’d just discovered.

　　Their lord unexpectedly wanted to send them to the Celestial Burial Valley as offerings.

　　“No…”

　　In the end, as innumerable Sea Tribe Army soldiers let out resentful and angry shouts, the light beam that had descended from the clouds started shrinking and the Sea Tribe Army’s million troops turned into a light speck and disappeared.

　　At this moment, the outside of the great Celestial Burial Valley recovered its calm.

　　The turtle in the clouds laughed loudly, “Ha, ha, ha, my ancestors’ plan has succeeded. It has been passed down for generations, and we’ve all waited for this day. The Sea Tribe’s rise is close at hand. Human Clan ants, just wait for the descent of my tribe’s Protector God. Your doomsday has arrived.”

　　The faces of Mo Junchen, Duan Jiude, and Liu Jingning turned pale and resembled the shining white dome of the sky. They were pale-faced and powerless!

　　It was daybreak!

　　The Worldly Furnace was finally going to be activated.

　　…..

　　Meanwhile, in the Spirit Core Mountain Range within the Celestial Burial Valley, Xuanyuan Wanrong looked at Xu Que and Buttface, who sat cross-legged in the palace, and frowned.

　　Many worldly treasures were buried beneath the Celestial Burial Valley, and there were even many mountain ranges filled with Spiritual Stone mines. There were also Worldly Spiritual Qi and Worldly Power. Once they were refined and absorbed by the furnace, they would form a terrifyingly large amount of Celestial Core Power and Spiritual Qi that would converge in the Spirit Core’s location.

　　It was difficult for her to believe that Xu Que and Buttface could bear this amount of Celestial Core Power and Spiritual Qi.

　　THUMP!

　　At this moment, a loud rumble was transmitted from the outside.

　　Xuanyuan Wanrong was taken aback, and her Divine Consciousness immediately examined the outside.

　　In the next moment, her expression changed drastically, and disbelief appeared on her face. “The million beings of the Sea Tribe have entered at this moment. Are they going to turn into offerings for the blood sacrifice? Once those million beings are smelted, Baleful Qi of 1 million departed spirits will emerge…”

　　This was awful!

　　Xuanyuan Wanrong’s heart beat strongly, and she looked quickly at Xu Que who was within the palace. She shouted loudly, “Get out quickly, you shouldn’t use this Spirit Core…”

　　BANG!

　　A deafening rumble echoed out before she could finish her words, and it instantly spread throughout the surroundings. It spread for 1,000 miles!

　　Xuanyuan Wanrong’s voice was submerged by it completely.

　　The Worldly Furnace had started working!
