When the last female Ancestor of the Strange left the Burial Furnace, the Great Array that was suppressing the mysterious lifeforms in the Tianyan Immortal Domain collapsed as well, and countless mysterious lifeforms surged up from beneath the Tianyan Immortal Domain.

In an instant, the Tianyan Immortal Domain became a Human World Purgatory. Those mysterious lifeforms had been starving for too long; the first thing they did upon escaping was devour the vitality of the lifeforms in the Tianyan Immortal Domain.

At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly snapped back to attention. He immediately gathered all the power of the Tianyan Immortal Domain and blasted all the mysterious lifeforms out of the Tianyan Immortal Domain.

Then, Lu Chen shouted, his voice echoing through the Sea of Chaos, "Are you still not following your ancestor out? Do you want to continue being eroded by Chaos Qi??!!!"

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, the Deceit Kings immediately ordered all the mysterious lifeforms to rush out of the Burial Furnace with them.

With the Deceit Kings’ orders, those mysterious lifeforms dared not disobey, and soon, all mysterious lifeforms inside the Burial Furnace left it.

Yet, once the mysterious lifeforms were gone, the crisis was not over, because the moment the Burial Furnace opened, a massive amount of mysterious power surged into it. Coupled with the fact that the Tianyan Immortal Domain itself was already not going to last much longer, in an instant, the land of the Tianyan Immortal Domain began to crack, seemingly on the verge of shattering and breaking apart.

Not only the Tianyan Immortal Domain but even Lu Chen’s Tianchen World appeared to be affected by the mysterious power, showing signs of collapse as well.

Moreover, Lu Chen then thought of a problem: the outside world might really not accommodate the children born from him and the Ancestor of the Strange. This meant, until he found a solution, his children could only stay inside the Burial Furnace.

And now the Burial Furnace was in the hands of the Netherworld Evil Emperor; if he could not seize the Burial Furnace from the Netherworld Evil Emperor, his children’s lives would remain under the control of the Netherworld Evil Emperor.

The Netherworld Evil Emperor could probably kill his children with just a thought.

The urgent task at hand was to quickly seize control of the Burial Furnace from the Netherworld Evil Emperor.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen did not hesitate at all and directly flew towards the black hole above the Tianyan Immortal Domain.

He was different from Yun Yudie and these Ancestors of the Strange. Though he had now recovered his memories, he still had strong feelings for his children.

In his view, those children born from him and the Ancestor of the Strange were ultimately innocent.

Moreover, the birth of those children was related to his plans; since they were born, he could not ignore them.

After Lu Chen dove out of the Burial Furnace, he was already prepared for the possibility of being surrounded and attacked by the Ancestors of the Strange. After recovering his Spirit Realm memories, he was all too aware of how humiliating his actions were for the Ancestors of the Strange.

However, just as Lu Chen left the Burial Furnace, besides seeing a scene of desolation and fragments of broken space, he did not see anyone else.

This...

Could it be that those Ancestors of the Strange had really just abandoned him here?

Lu Chen couldn’t quite believe it; he thought that at least one or two Ancestors of the Strange would wait by the Burial Furnace, ready for him to come out, but as it turned out, Yun Yudie and the others had all gone to confront the Netherworld Evil Emperor.

Lu Chen muttered to himself, "It seems they’ve taken out all the anger they received from me on the Netherworld Evil Emperor."

Although it was he who did these things, and they were carrying his children, it was ultimately the Netherworld Evil Emperor who locked them together.

If it weren’t for the Netherworld Evil Emperor collecting them into the Burial Furnace, they wouldn’t have signed a covenant of blood with him, a human blood food, and ultimately been burdened by the covenant.

However, since they have all left, this was an opportunity for him.

Lu Chen’s gaze turned to the Burial Furnace in front of him, emitting a terrifying pressure, and then murmured to himself, "Immortal Artifact! This is definitely an Immortal Artifact!"

The Immortal Artifact Lu Chen spoke of was different from those so-called Immortal Artifacts of the Tianyan Immortal Domain, which was merely a world within the Burial Furnace, and Immortals there were just a title.

Immortals from the Tianyan Immortal Domain, upon arriving in this great world, could only be considered normal people.

Every world’s set of Laws and power system differ, so the level of combat power naturally differs.

Just like how a hundred dollars in one’s own country might buy many things, but in a more developed country, a hundred dollars might not even be enough for a simple meal.

Yet, the pressure emanating from the Burial Furnace in front of Lu Chen, even after he recovered his strength, was immense, and most importantly, he seemed to sense a hint of Immortal Aura flowing on the Burial Furnace, indicating that the Burial Furnace could very well be a true Immortal Artifact.

Without any hesitation, Lu Chen directly poured power into the Burial Furnace, intending to cut off the connection between the Burial Furnace and the Netherworld Evil Emperor, then refine the Burial Furnace and claim it as his own.

However, as Lu Chen just poured power into the Burial Furnace, he discovered that the Burial Furnace was actually an ownerless object.

This...

Lu Chen was stunned, a look of disbelief appearing on his face. The Burial Furnace, suspected to be an Immortal Artifact, hadn’t been refined by the Netherworld Evil Emperor?

How was that possible?

Why hadn’t the Netherworld Evil Emperor allowed the Burial Furnace to establish a master?

For a moment, Lu Chen hesitated, wondering whether to refine the Burial Furnace.

As a strange ancestor, the fact that the Netherworld Evil Emperor hadn’t refined the Burial Furnace indicated there were certainly some drawbacks to it.

Lu Chen pondered for a moment before making a decision; he could feel the world’s rejection of the mixed blood lifeforms, so until he found a solution, his children could only remain in the Burial Furnace. To sustain the Tianyan Immortal Domain’s existence and create a survival environment for his children, he had to refine the Burial Furnace.

Immediately, Lu Chen condensed a drop of soul blood and dripped it on the Furnace Cauldron of the Burial Furnace. The Burial Furnace seemed to be activated, emanating a green light, and swiftly Lu Chen felt the Burial Furnace greedily absorbing his body’s power. In just the blink of an eye, his strength and cultivation state had halved.

Lu Chen’s complexion turned suddenly pale, finally understanding why the Netherworld Evil Emperor hadn’t been in a hurry to refine the Burial Furnace, realizing what a high cost refining it would exact.

Lu Chen hurriedly released Divine Thought, probing the void he was in, checking if any mysterious strong presences were hidden nearby.

After probing and confirming there were no hidden mysterious strong presences nearby, only then did Lu Chen breathe a sigh of relief.

But this place still could not be lingered in; once Yun Yudie and the others had defeated the Netherworld Evil Emperor, they would definitely come back to cause him trouble, and he had to leave this place quickly.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen exerted all the power on him, continuing to refine the Burial Furnace.

To his surprise, despite the heavy cost of refining the Burial Furnace, the time required for refining was incredibly short.

Generally, high-level magical treasures in the Spirit Realm require a long time to refine, especially some special magical treasures, not possible to refine even in tens of thousands of years.

Yet, the existence of the Burial Furnace, suspected to be an Immortal Artifact, took Lu Chen less than twelve hours to completely refine.
