Seven Heavens of Mountains and Seas!

No, this is still not the end.

As one star after another was lit up, the opponent's aura continued to rise, soon reaching another critical point, and then began to waver.

The peak of the seventh level of the Mountain and Sea Realm... one could even call it a half-step into the eighth level of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The seven people exchanged glances, and each saw the heaviness in the other's eyes and a hint of despair.

They are geniuses, and their combat power far exceeds their own realm, but when facing a super strong person who is close to the eighth level of the Mountain and Sea Realm, they still have no chance of winning.

The Great Protector stretched out his arms, and the vines attached to his body also stretched out, as if that were his true body.

"superior?"

Lin Sanmo seemed to be asking a question, but his tone was absolutely certain.

Shen Qian and the others nodded slightly. Facing an enemy far superior to themselves, passive defense would only lead to certain death.

However, just as the seven of them leaped out together, a vine stretching for a thousand meters suddenly lashed out, blocking their path.

"Why are you young friends in such a hurry? I never said I was going to take action myself."

Snap!

The vines lashed at the seven people in succession at a speed beyond their perception, and with muffled groans, all seven were forced back.

However, none of the injuries were serious, as if the Great Protector had deliberately held back.

The vines stretched out, but instead of attacking the seven people, they vaguely formed a cage that sealed off the heavens and earth, trapping the seven people inside.

Just as the seven were frowning, the Great Protector pulled out a scepter from somewhere and suddenly waved it at the surrounding world.

"Heaven is the cauldron, earth is the furnace, spirit stones are the firewood, and corpses are the fuel."

The Great Protector chanted incantations, and when he finished reciting the four lines, a sudden roar arose between heaven and earth.

The roar was so loud that even before it sank, there was a moment of deafness.

As he regained his composure from the shock, he immediately looked around and witnessed an incredibly awe-inspiring scene.

fire!

A vast, raging fire, its eerie green color obscuring the view, stretched as far as the eye could see.

The sky was burning, the earth was crackling, the corpses of monsters on the ground, the distant mountains and rivers... everything that could be seen was burning.

But Shen Qian couldn't feel any temperature. He only felt something chaotic and frenzied surging in the dark, as if something taboo was happening in the dark.

At this moment, Shen Qian suddenly understood what the sense of incongruity and eeriness that had existed from the beginning was all about. The inscriptions on the array flags he found, and the strange patterns in this pit, no wonder they looked both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

Because they were put in the wrong place.

They should have appeared on the alchemy furnace, but instead they appeared on the array flags and on the ground.

Shen Qian didn't know what kind of mysterious method this was, but he suddenly realized...

The Great Protector was actually using this world as a furnace to refine medicine.

But what level of elixir is it that warrants using the entire world as a furnace?
