Chapter 2931: It's Smoking!

"Congratulations, Brother Qin, from now on the sky is high for the birds to fly, the sea is vast for the fish to leap!" Zhou Yu's expression was somewhat unnatural.

Just a few days ago, he and Qin Shitian were evenly matched.

But a few days later, the gap between them was like that between a firefly and the bright moon.

He Chen also looked embarrassed as he came forward to offer congratulations.

Unexpectedly, Qin Shitian's face darkened, and a powerful soul force exploded.

Zhou Yu and He Chen grunted and were sent flying.

"Dog-like things! Who do you think you are to call me brother?" Qin Shitian turned hostile directly.

Having been slapped in the face publicly, their soul bodies were severely injured.

Zhou Yu and the other, humiliated and angry but not daring to retaliate, could only get up again and bow: "Con... congratulations, Young Lord!"

Ten-tempering held an extremely high status in the Soul Clan, equivalent to a预备 Great Lord.

Thus, he was respectfully called Young Lord.

Qin Shitian had a volatile temperament; in his eyes, only those of equal strength were worthy of being called brothers.

Previously, when these two were on par with him, he naturally didn't mind.

But now, hearing the term "Brother Qin" felt like a mockery.

However, even with Qin Shitian's arrogance, no one dared to say anything.

Yet, some who had initially wanted to offer congratulations now dared not approach.

After all, his strength and status were now completely different!

Before long, Qin Shitian would surely enter the core of the Soul Clan, drifting further and further away from them.

He was a figure from the heavens!

Great Lord Xichen's expression was somewhat unnatural as he gave a dry laugh: "Nephew, no need to be angry. You are now a figure above the clouds; why bother with them?"

Lin Fang also looked slightly embarrassed: "Exactly, exactly. Two clueless little ones, not worth your trouble, nephew."

A ten-tempering powerhouse was indeed the glory of Ninglan Soul Refining Hall.

But even a Great Lord dared not offend him lightly.

When Qin Shitian slapped Zhou Yu and the others, wasn't he also slapping their faces?

But they had no choice.

In the future, Ninglan Soul Refining Hall would still need Qin Shitian's support.

Now, Qin Shitian had truly soared to the heavens!

Qin Shitian snorted coldly: "If not for the sake of the two uncles, I would have made them pay!"

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he looked toward Ye Yuan's soul-refining furnace and laughed: "He thought he could use forty-two types of Dao Fire to trap me, but instead, he ended up helping me, right? And he himself died inside! Actually, with thirty-five types of Dao Fire, even if he couldn't break through to ten-tempering, he could have come out."

Great Lord Dongyang nodded slightly, deeply agreeing: "Although he was far inferior to you, he could still be considered a genius! It's a pity he was defeated by himself."

Qin Shitian laughed loudly: "A dead man, why bother with him! From now on, it's my era, Qin Shitian's!"

At this moment, Qin Shitian was in high spirits, feeling invincible.

Those examinees no longer had the qualification to offer congratulations.

The Emperor-level powerhouses of the Soul Refining Hall came forward one after another to congratulate him.

Qin Shitian had become the center of everyone's attention.

Even Great Lord Dongyang was overshadowed by him.

Great Lord Dongyang didn't mind; Qin Shitian was his disciple and wouldn't run away.

However, his gaze swept toward the direction of the soul-refining furnace, and he frowned slightly.

Because he saw that the forty-third type of Dao Fire had descended!

"Eh, strange. Logically, if Ye Yuan is dead, shouldn't the Dao Fire in the furnace have extinguished? Why is it still increasing?"

Hearing Great Lord Dongyang's words, Xichen and the others were astonished and looked over.

In the soul-refining furnace, Ye Yuan's soul body had completely disappeared.

Thus, everyone thought he was dead.

But the forty-third type of Dao Fire had truly descended!

"Could it be that he isn't dead?"

"How is that possible? His soul body has completely dissipated; he is clearly dead!"

"Then how do you explain that the Dao Fire in the furnace hasn't gone out?"

"Could it be that something is wrong with the furnace?"

...

A phenomenon they couldn't explain had appeared.

Even the several Great Lords were baffled.

"Brother Dongyang, could there be a problem with the furnace? Why don't you intervene and extinguish the Dao Fire?" said Great Lord Xichen.

As the hall master, he naturally had the authority to control these projection soul-refining furnaces.

Dongyang nodded upon hearing this and began to form soul seals.

However, the next moment, Ye Yuan's furnace suddenly erupted with dazzling light.

Great Lord Dongyang grunted, staggered back several steps, and his soul body became much more illusory, clearly suffering significant damage.

The others all changed expression.

"Brother Dongyang, what's wrong?" asked Xichen.

Great Lord Dongyang shook his head: "I don't know. The furnace has slipped out of my control and just now backlashed against me!"

Xichen's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in shock: "How is that possible! You are the hall master; you have the authority to control the furnace!"

Great Lord Dongyang smiled bitterly: "Now, it's beyond my control! We can only wait for the furnace to stop on its own. I hope nothing goes wrong."

Everyone became panicked.

Now, even the hall master couldn't control the situation!

Qin Shitian's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

This Ye Yuan, even in death, couldn't let him have peace!

I am now a ten-tempering powerhouse, the Young Lord, at the peak of my glory; shouldn't I be enjoying everyone's adulation?

But all of this was ruined by Ye Yuan!

Rumble...

Suddenly, the furnace trembled violently, as if it might explode at any moment.

Everyone's expression changed again, staring at the furnace with vigilance.

The unknown always brings fear.

Soon, two hours passed, and the forty-fourth type of Dao Fire descended!

Thus, the furnace trembled even more violently.

At this moment, the furnace was like a machine that never stopped, and no one could stop it.

The forty-fifth, forty-sixth, forty-seventh, forty-eighth, forty-ninth!

Another day passed in the blink of an eye!

When the last type of Dao Fire descended, the entire furnace seemed to be boiling.

The lid of the furnace was about to be lifted off.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling as if the furnace was about to explode.

"Th-this... what's going on?"

"This Ye Yuan is impressive; even dead, he can still cause trouble!"

"Could this guy have triggered some mechanism to blow up the Soul Refining Hall? I feel that if it explodes, none of us will escape!"

"Look! The furnace is smoking! That cloud of hot air is coming out of the furnace! Could it be that Ye Yuan has been refined into smoke?"

...

At this moment, a large amount of mist was rising from the furnace, looking very much like boiling water.

Great Lord Dongyang shuddered, his eyes filled with horror as he exclaimed: "That... that couldn't be... couldn't be..."
