The Supreme Lord’s glance across time and space, the horrified Ye family

As Ye Daocang's words echoed, the group turned their gaze back toward the scene unfolding before them.

Sun Wukong was quickly thrown into the Eight Trigrams Furnace, where Laozi began the process of refining him.

The furnace rotated continuously, and the Samadhi True Fire poured down on Wukong's body. It was at this moment that Sun Wukong began to shout and struggle, feeling the intense heat that his body initially could not resist.

Time passed, though how much was unclear, and the image within the furnace began to fade.

The hearts of the Ye family members collectively tightened—had Sun Wukong perished?

Suddenly, there was a loud explosion, and a disheveled Monkey King shot out of the furnace, kicking it over as he escaped.

From the overturned furnace, the Samadhi True Fire spilled forth, descending to the mortal world below.
