What If I Can't Die? - Chapter 462
462 Void Refinement Realm (1)
Many demons were scattered in the valley and were in a sorry state. However, they were deeply stunned by Song Shi.
An You, who was probably in the middle, was also observing. She was covered in wounds and her charming body looked like a broken porcelain doll. It was full of wounds and had a fragile beauty to it.
She raised her head with difficulty to observe. The more she looked, the more familiar she found the person in the distance. A figure appeared in her mind, overlapping with Song Shi, who was temporarily suppressing the black wind.
“It’s him!”
An You’s body trembled and his eyes widened. “How did he get there? How did he do it?”
She was a little confused. During this period of time, she had been working hard to move forward in the valley against the black wind. She had surpassed many demons one after another, but she had not caught up to Song Shi.
She originally thought that Song Shi had already passed this checkpoint or was still ahead, but she never expected that he would be in the sky. Wouldn’t he be torn apart by the black wind of Ghost Wind Valley?
Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Song Shi’s body, she instinctively felt fear and could not help but want to tremble. A thought flashed through her mind and she reacted.
“Could it be that he’s using the black wind to temper his body? Isn’t this too crazy?”
An You was incomparably shocked. This had already broken her understanding of the world.
Since ancient times, no one had heard of anyone tempering their bodies with the black wind. They were in extreme affliction even when they were close to the ground. Their lives were in danger at any time.
Hu hu hu!
The black wind in the valley was only temporarily dispersed. After a moment of silence, it surged over again like a flood that drowned Song Shi and covered his figure.
Song Shi glanced at An You and did not say anything. He took a step towards the next stage and approached in the blink of an eye.
Looking down, there was still a light screen between the two checkpoints. At the end, there was another exit.
This time, Song Shi did not go out. He walked towards the light screen without any obstruction. He instantly arrived at a sea of red flames.
The third stage of the Demon Refinement Path.
Fire Mountain!
There was no more Devouring Nomological power here. On the contrary, the heaven and earth energy was very rich, but it was basically fire-elemental energy, which produced flames all over the mountain.
The scorching flames that could easily melt Dharma treasures rapidly surged over and landed on Song Shi’s body. Even his clothes that were condensed from Nomological power did not melt.
Song Shi only felt a wave of warmth. The lowest-level flames in the nearby area were still far from burning him to death.
Not to mention that he now had a top-grade Saint Body, even when he first came to the Land of Extinction, he was not afraid of this low-level flame.
After all, he was a fire-attribute cultivator to begin with. The quality of the Sun Sacred Flame in his body was very high, and his Physique was also fire-attribute. His resistance to fire was very strong.
Still.
Song Shi looked up.
A towering one hundred thousand-foot-tall mountain appeared in front of him. The higher he went, the more ferocious the flames became.
This place was not like the second stage, which could be passed by sticking close to the ground. It was much more difficult to cross this Fire Mountain.
He swept his gaze over. The Fire Mountain was not a single peak. Instead, there were two peaks facing each other. They looked like a pair of bull horns.
Song Shi could not help but think of the Horned Demon Clan. What did the shape of this mountain have to do with the Horned Demon Clan?
“Rumor has it that this was left behind by the Creator Gods of the Devil World. Perhaps all the demons are the blood descendants of the other party now, so there will be some similarities.”
Song Shi was deep in thought as he walked towards the Fire Mountain.
This one hundred thousand-foot-tall Fire Mountain was filled with raging flames. The higher it was, the denser the flames were, and the lighter the color. From red to orange to green-white, one could occasionally see a few climbing demons.
These demons were gathered in a route in the middle of the mountain, and the flames at the two peaks were the most terrifying. The void at the top had been melted, revealing two huge black holes.
To pass through this mountain, it was the easiest between the two peaks. The demons who were challenging the levels naturally would not be stupid enough to challenge the most difficult ones.
However, Song Shi did not hesitate to choose the mountain on the left.
The raging flames continued to burn him. Not only did Song Shi not resist the flames, but he also opened his orifices and devoured the power of the flames.
This made him look red, like a cooked shrimp that was burning from the inside out.
Song Shi’s eyes flashed.
“As expected, the flames here contain pure energy. It roughly means that the challenger has to absorb energy to increase his strength while tempering his body.”
He muttered and swallowed. The surrounding flames gathered towards him, turning into a fire snake that kept surging into his mouth.
Activating the Nine Yang Divine Technique, the nine Nascent Souls in his body opened their mouths and absorbed and refined the power of the flames crazily. The nine Golden Cores around each Nascent Soul shone brightly and accumulated power continuously.
However, under his reckless devouring, Song Shi’s body was filled with mutated flames, and his Saint Body gradually cracked.
If the black wind was tempering the surface of his body, he was tempering it from the inside out with this fire.
Crack, crack!
As Song Shi advanced, cracking sounds appeared on his body, as if wood had been burned. In fact, the flames absorbed by the Saint Body had exceeded the limit of what he could withstand.
“Sure enough, as long as you want to die, there are many ways.”
Song Shi smiled as spiderweb-like cracks began to appear on his face. Then, his Saint Body shattered bit by bit before he finally collapsed halfway up the mountain.
After reviving, Song Shi sensed his body.
The nine acupuncture points space was like small worlds. One of them was a small sun that revolved around his Nascent Soul, emitting a power that made space tremble.
After devouring the power of the Devouring Fire at all costs just now, his Nascent Soul had become stronger, and his body had also become stronger. Just now, it was equivalent to forcing him to be reborn in fire.
This increase was even more direct than being torn apart in the black wind. Not only did his body increase, but his Nascent Soul and Nomological power were also becoming stronger, corresponding to the increase in his Essence Qi.
