"Good!"

Hearing Duan Tianxing's suggestion, the Seventh Elder quickly nodded. Now, as long as he could stop the Sword Venerate and seize the Supreme Divine Weapon, it didn't matter who he teamed up with.

"Be careful, that boy is very strange!" Duan Tianxing came to the Seventh Elder and glanced in the direction where Lin Xuan was.

However, Lin Xuan just shrugged and directly exited the Hidden Sword Land.

Since the treasure sword still belonged to the Sword Venerate, he wouldn't make a move, so he directly withdrew from the battle.

Seeing Lin Xuan retreat, the Sword Venerate was expressionless, while Duan Tianxing and the others quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Xuan's strength was not inferior to theirs, and if they really had to fight, it would undoubtedly be troublesome. Now that the opponent had withdrawn, it was all the better for them.

In the next moment, the three formed a triangle and quickly rushed towards the Sword Venerate.

"It seems I haven't made a move for a long time, and the world has forgotten about this old man." The Sword Venerate slowly said, "Very well, today let me show you again what Supreme Brilliance means!"

As his voice fell, the aura on the Sword Venerate grew stronger and stronger.

The light in his eyes was like a Supreme Divine Sword, directly tearing through the void.

With a clang, as if a longsword was drawn, the entire sky trembled.

A single sword strike was unleashed, terrifying Sword Qi likened to ten thousand thunderclaps, quickly flying forward.

As this Sword Qi emerged, all the surrounding martial artists prostrated themselves to the ground, faces pale, bodies constantly trembling.

With their strength, they simply couldn't withstand the Sword Qi unleashed by the Sword Venerate.

Duan Tianxing and the other two bore the brunt, their faces changed drastically as they sensed danger.

"Sovereign Alone!"

Duan Tianxing roared, his body glowed brightly, forming an exceptionally strong defense covering him.

Beside him, the Seventh Elder and Zhu Chen dared not slack, quickly channeling Spiritual Power, forming a massive Three-headed Vermilion Blood Bird covering their bodies.

Faced with this terrifying sword strike, they had to deploy their strongest defense.

The terrifying Sword Qi descended like a galaxy from the Nine Heavens, shattering the void wherever it passed by.

In the next moment, it slashed fiercely at the three of Duan Tianxing, blasting them away.

The cyan glow on Duan Tianxing and the divine bird shadow on the Seventh Elder rapidly cracked under the Sword Qi's assault, creating huge fissures.

They, too, with Qi-blood surging, had many places on their bodies slashed open by Sword Qi.

However, the three of them were after all Eighth Layered Venerables, and their combined strength was formidable. Ultimately, they succeeded in resisting this sword strike.

Yet there was no joy in them, as for this strike the Sword Venerate merely moved a finger, without even wielding a weapon, and had caused such power.

To them, it was not good news.

Lin Xuan watched this scene with a grave expression. As expected of the Sword Venerate, it was indeed terrifying, even though his lifespan was running out, being able to exert such terrifying combat power was truly shocking!

However, his attention quickly shifted because, under the perception of the Great Dragon Sword Soul, Lin Xuan seemed to feel something beckoning him.

He diverted his gaze from the battlefield ahead and looked towards that huge Heaven and Earth Furnace in the sky.

The feeling seemed to be coming from that gigantic furnace.

The giant furnace was incredibly magical, countless molten lava cascaded down at its outlet forming a magnificent spectacle.

The temperature was extremely terrifying, even a Seventh Realm Venerable dared not get close.

If guessed correctly, this should be the fire used by a Supreme individual of old in Artifact Refining, a flame capable of refining a Supreme Divine Weapon, absolutely extraordinary.

"Kid, what are you looking at?" asked the Dark Red Divine Dragon by his side.

"I feel there's something in that furnace."

"Something?"

Hearing this, the Dark Red Divine Dragon got excited, "Then what are you waiting for, quickly go get it!"

"Those flames aren't easy to deal with," Lin Xuan voiced his concern.

"What's the problem, don't you have the Ten Thousand Beasts Tripod? Just absorb all the flames!"

"Indeed, these flames are great treasures, they'll greatly aid your Artifact Refining as well."

"Use the Ten Thousand Beasts Tripod?"

Lin Xuan's mouth twitched slightly, honestly, using that thing, the price he would pay would be enormous.

However, in the end, he sighed, "Alright."

Because really, he had no other way now.

So, he quickly communicated with Zero, but to his surprise, Zero didn't make any other demands this time.

This let Lin Xuan breathe a sigh of relief because the cost of using the Ten Thousand Beasts Tripod was truly too great, best if it could be avoided.

But unexpectedly, there's an exception this time.

Soon, Lin Xuan seemed to understand that probably the flames in that furnace were also beneficial to the Ten Thousand Beasts Tripod.

With the support of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tripod secured, he didn't hesitate any longer and soared into the sky.

His action immediately drew attention from everyone.

"What is Lin Xuan doing, why is he flying into the sky?"

"Does he want to get involved as well?"

"It shouldn't be, that side isn't the direction of the battlefield, he seems to be flying towards that enormous furnace in the sky."

"Isn't that strange, what's there to investigate in that furnace, and such temperatures even a Seventh Layer Venerable wouldn't dare to approach, right?"

The crowd was bustling with discussions, clueless.

They hadn't thought about the Supreme Divine Weapon at all, because the treasure sword in front of the Sword Venerate had already been deemed by them as the Supreme Divine Weapon.

Therefore, they didn't think anything inside the Heaven and Earth Furnace could surpass the Supreme Divine Weapon.

Not only were the surrounding martial artists puzzled, but even Duan Tianxing and the others were quite startled.

Yet, concerning Lin Xuan's actions, they remained particularly attentive.

"Damn it, what's that kid up to again?"

The Seventh Elder quickly dodging the Sword Qi emitted by the Sword Venerate, transmitted his voice hurriedly.

"Who knows? Ignore him!"

"I've already examined that Heaven and Earth Furnace. Even an Eighth Layered Venerable wouldn't dare enter it, no way that kid could escape those flames!"

Hearing this, the Seventh Elder and Zhu Chen were reassured, so the three of them joined forces, quickly attacking the Sword Venerate.

Under normal circumstances, even combined, the three could not defeat the Sword Venerate.

However, the Seventh Elder and the other two had black flames on them, exceptionally odd, actually managing to withstand the Sword Venerate's Sword Qi.

Thus, leading to the current stalemate.

The Sword Venerate's expression was also grim, originally he hadn't worried about the three Eighth Layered Venerables, but the black flames on the opponents were too bizarre, necessitating caution on his part.

"These black flames seem to have the aura of the Heavenly Nether Bird, since when did these Divine Bird Palace people establish ties with the Heavenly Nether Bird?"

The Sword Venerate's eyes gleamed, deeply puzzled.

The might of the Heavenly Nether Bird was evident to all, and even if seen in the Sword Venerate's peak period, he might not have been able to contend with it, let alone now.

Moreover, the flames possessed solely by the Heavenly Nether Bird noticeably appeared on these two, compelling him to tread carefully,

As for Lin Xuan's actions, they were ignored since he, too, had not sensed anything from that furnace.
