The Sun and Moon Imprint had been formed from a wisp of Zhuozhao and Youying's primal essence. The power derived from these two imprints naturally carried the aura of their origin as well.
That was power stripped from the very first light between heaven and earth—perhaps that was why the Heaven Opening Pill hadn't been able to fully devour it.
Regardless, the attempt had been a success.
Yang Kai eagerly set about repeating the process, quickly infusing the remaining eight points of light with the aura of Sun and Moon. After finally finishing everything, he abruptly came to a realization.
This... didn't seem to be useful at all!
He had originally intended to leave behind some power he could control within these nine Heaven Opening Pills, so that when the Chaos Enamel Furnace truly emerged in the world, it would be easier for him to seize the treasures. But the power of the Sun and Moon Imprint didn't belong to him—it had been bestowed upon him by Big Brother Huang and Big Sister Lan. He could use these two imprints to activate the Purifying Light, but he couldn't use them to control the nine Heaven Opening Pills.
The moment he realized this, all of Yang Kai's elation vanished in an instant.
Anyone who had spent that much effort, believing hard work would pay off, only to end up doing nothing useful, would hardly be in high spirits.
Being dragged into this place by the Chaos Enamel Furnace had yielded not a single practical benefit—aside from witnessing the mysteries within the furnace firsthand and observing the birth of these Heaven Opening Pills. On top of that, it had let that bastard Moyanye escape!
Yang Kai was quite irritated.
But there was nothing he could do. Trapped by that inexplicable force, there was little he could accomplish.
As time passed, Yang Kai calmed his mind and continued watching as the Heaven Opening Pills devoured the surrounding Dao marks, evolving and taking shape. As the hours wore on, the nine points of light grew increasingly bright, as though they had become nine great suns hovering around him.
Compared to those nine blazing suns, the countless motes of fluorescent light were like fireflies competing with a full moon—the two were utterly incomparable.
But Yang Kai vaguely sensed that the Heaven Opening Pills represented by those specks of light would also prove tremendously useful. After all, anything born from within the Chaos Enamel Furnace couldn't be ordinary.
The Heaven Opening Pill he had obtained from the Blood Demon Grotto-heaven all those years ago had likely originated from these. It was simply that so much time had passed and storage had been inadequate, causing some of its potency to fade.
After who knew how much more time had passed, Yang Kai—who had been quietly observing the nurturing process—suddenly felt a vast, surging force pressing in from every direction.
His expression changed. Unable to move, he couldn't dodge the incoming force at all. He could only passively endure and resist.
Yet that inexplicable force was enormous beyond measure. In the face of this power, even someone at the peak of the Eighth Order like Yang Kai could feel his own insignificance.
Cracking sounds echoed from within his body as bones shifted out of place. His vital organs felt as though they were about to burst...
Yang Kai had no idea what was happening. Ever since he'd entered the Chaos Enamel Furnace, he had been restrained but had otherwise faced no other encounters—until this moment, when he finally felt a genuine threat to his life.
Between life and death, only one thought occupied his mind: was the Chaos Enamel Furnace truly going to refine and absorb him?
Fortunately, the massive force came as quickly as it went. After just a moment of compression, it suddenly expanded outward.
Yang Kai could clearly feel that the void he occupied, as well as the area where countless fluorescent specks resided, was stretching to infinity. At the same time, the specks of light around him transformed into an all-encompassing radiance that rapidly shot outward in every direction.
Almost instinctively, a thought sprang into his mind.
The Chaos Enamel Furnace had appeared in the world!
The anomaly just now had been a sign of its emergence! And when he calculated the timing, it all lined up.
Yang Kai also discovered that the force which had been restraining him all this time had vanished without a trace.
He wildly activated the Dao of Space, constraining the surroundings, and reached out to seize a dazzling point of light. But the light fled so fast it was impossible to guard against—his determined grab came up completely empty.
His spatial bindings had managed to capture only a few faint specks of light.
Those fluorescent specks bound by the Dao of Space trembled violently, as though they possessed a will of their own, trying to break free of his control. As if Yang Kai would let them—he swept them directly into his Small Universe. There was no time to inspect them. Chasing after the dazzling light he had locked onto moments ago, he shot through the sky.
Bolstered by the Dao of Space, his form shifted and darted, crossing hundreds of millions of miles in an instant...
