Ye Tian sat cross-legged in his room as he cultivated the Sacred Dao Heart Sutra. He discovered that although the Sacred Dao Heart Sutra was very beneficial to one's mental state, the effects weren't too obvious in normal times. Only when one was in danger and their mind was in great danger, could circulating the Sacred Dao Heart Sutra rapidly improve one's mental state.
After considering for a while, Ye Tian ordered the Three Eye Poisonous Wolf, "Xiao San, go outside and help me stand guard outside the door. Don't let anyone come in to disturb me, I'm going to try to cultivate the Death Word's Soul Scatter Realm, last time that Nether Master said something fierce and told me to watch him, this time I'll go meet him and soon we'll reach the Savage Forest. It's best for me to increase my strength first."
The Three-Eye Poisonous Wolf didn't answer and went directly to the door. Afterwards, Ye Tian started to circulate his cultivation technique according to the Path of Death's Art. Soon after, Ye Tian's room was filled with black mist. Ye Tian's soul involuntarily left his body and instantly entered the surrounding black mist, disappearing without a trace.
"Haha, human brat, you truly aren't afraid of death, you actually dare to come in again." A voice suddenly sounded out in front of Ye Tian. At this moment, Ye Tian discovered that his soul had once again appeared in the great hall where he had seen Underworld Ancestor last time.
"Hehe, so it's Senior Ming Zu. Good day to meet you. Ever since Junior managed to cultivate the Death Word, it has helped me a lot. Junior truly admires senior from the bottom of his heart." Ye Tian laughed.
"Hmph, don't try this on me. I still haven't dealt with you for taking away the netherworld spiritual energy that I worked so hard for. What are you doing in here this time? Are you really not afraid of death?" Ming Zu snorted coldly.
"Hehe, to tell you the truth, this junior has a plan. The death chant this senior created is truly too mysterious. This junior involuntarily wants to finish cultivating it, so I can't be bothered with my own safety." Ye Tian laughed.
"Stop flattering me. The old me will tell you this, although you, the human race, have joined with several other worlds to attack my Netherworld, I, Ming Zu, am not worthy of retaliating against you. Otherwise, I would not have let you pass even if I wanted to." The old me will not flatter you, but this old man has joined with the other realms to attack my Netherworld, but this old man is not worthy of retaliating against you. Underworld Ancestor said with a gentle expression.
"Junior naturally knows that senior showed mercy to the previous time, and has remembered senior's kindness. However, since junior has come this time, I must die in order to cultivate to the Soul Dispersal stage, so senior does not need to say anything and can just let it go." Ye Tian firmly said.
Once you enter, your soul will be sent to the Soul Extinguishing Furnace for tempering. Heh heh, in the past, only two to three people will be able to survive if Emperor Ming enters the furnace for training, and Emperor Ming, who comes from the Underworld, is usually a ghost who cultivates. He is already an exceptionally powerful being, and the chances of success are less than one percent. The Netherworld Ancestor urged.
"This junior appreciates Senior's kindness. However, since Junior has entered, I might have to give it a try." Ye Tian respectfully said.
"Sigh, forget it. If you want to go, then go. After all, this old man can't be blamed for dying." As he spoke, he sent a streak of black gas towards Ye Tian, wrapped Ye Tian up, and disappeared into the ground.
After sending Ye Tian off, Ming Zu grudgingly muttered: "Ai, this brat is really reckless. After so many years, there was finally a brat who could come in and chat with this old man. It's a pity that he just died after saying a few words."
And after Ye Tian was enveloped by the black gas and sent underground, he appeared in front of a huge furnace. He saw that this furnace was about ten thousand feet wide and there were all sorts of underworld incantations and evil spirits carved on top of it.
"Could this be the legendary Netherworld Udumbara Flame?" Ye Tian muttered in his heart.
"Brat, once you enter this place, you have nowhere to turn back to. This furnace is called the Soul Extinguishing Furnace, it is specifically used to temper the soul, the burning Netherworld Black Flame below is not inferior to the divine flame of the God Realm, you only need to enter and receive the tempering, as long as you can endure inside for seventy-four days, even if you fail, your soul will become the same as the Emperor of the Underworld's, the soul will become the soul refining water in this furnace." At this moment, the voice of Underworld Ancestor sounded out from thin air.
Ye Tian looked at the massive furnace in front of him and took a deep breath. "Junior is ready. Let's begin."
"Mm, do your best, this Soul Extinguishing Furnace does not have many realms. The souls that enter are all treated according to the souls of the underworld emperors." After the Nether Master finished speaking, a black light once again enveloped Ye Tian, and the lid of the massive Soul Extinguishing Furnace instantly opened. The black light then carried Ye Tian to the top of the Soul Extinguishing Furnace, and threw him in.
When Ye Tian entered the Soul Extinguishing Furnace, he immediately discovered that there was a raging fire below him. There were all kinds of flames, including black underworld fire, green poisonous fire, silver white ice fire, and so on. Moreover, there were also some black liquid flowing within these flames.
All sorts of flames burned at the bottom of the Soul Extinguisher Furnace, and one of the black streams of water flowed in a crisscrossing pattern. Because the Soul Extinguishing Furnace couldn't stay empty, after Ye Tian was thrown into the Soul Extinguishing Furnace, he instantly fell into a poisonous fire. Ye Tian immediately felt like his entire body was being torn apart by ten thousand ants. He was in extreme pain, so he had no choice but to dodge the poison fire and move to the side. However, there was a mass of ice and fire on his side.
Ye Tian then felt a bone-piercing chill. Following that, his entire body felt like it was being pierced by needles. The pain was unbearable.
He stepped on the fire and ice, making it impossible for him to move. He could only let the fire and ice burn as he pleased, but the power of the fire and ice is not that strong. I don't know what happened to the Underworld Emperors in the past. Ye Tian muttered in his heart.
At the beginning, there were very few of them, but after a few breaths of time, the number of flames increased and directly wrapped Ye Tian, who had turned into an ice sculpture, and the black streams that flowed in different directions flowed directly from the bottom of the fire and ice, flowing up from the soles of Ye Tian's feet, who had turned into an ice sculpture.
When Ye Tian saw this, he was greatly shocked. He finally understood why so many Netherworld Emperors had failed to transform into Soul Refining Water. This was Soul Refining Water! It would be strange if they didn't die.
"Sigh, this is the end. What a miscalculation. If I had known earlier, I would have listened to that Underworld Ancestor and waited for my strength to be sufficient before entering." Ye Tian helplessly thought. As more and more flames poured in, the flames surrounding Ye Tian became a large, multicolored ball. After two hours, almost all of the flames had surged over, and the huge ball of flames surrounding Ye Tian had also expanded to become several thousand feet large.
At this moment, Ye Tian was bitterly enduring the 10,000 Flames Soul Refining technique. Ye Tian's face would turn red, then black, then green. These were the results of the different types of flames calcining Ye Tian's divine soul.
At first, Ye Tian could still endure it, but as time went by, this sometimes cold and sometimes hot, sometimes full of pain that was unbearable, Ye Tian almost went crazy from the torment. However, he was unable to move and could only allow the flames to burn.
In addition to these flames, the black Soul Refining Water started slowly corroding Ye Tian's soul after the ice sculptures flowed in. In just two hours, the five toes of Ye Tian's feet were corroded, it was said that his fingers were connected to his heart, and his toes were the same. Waves of heart-piercing pain came from them, causing Ye Tian's soul to become extremely unstable, showing signs of collapsing.
When Ye Tian saw this, he immediately endured the pain in his body to stabilize his emotions and prevent his divine soul from collapsing. He knew that as long as his divine soul collapsed, not even the supreme elders of the God Realm could save him.
At this moment, Ye Tian's soul had already been burnt to a crisp by the countless flames, and his entire body was charred black. What was even more terrifying was that Ye Tian's lower half had already been completely corroded by the Soul Refining Water, leaving behind only the upper half of the ice sculpture to bitterly endure.
Ye Tian had his eyes tightly closed as he constantly chanted the 'Sacred Heart Scripture' to stabilize his emotions. This was because Ye Tian possessed the Sacred Heart Scripture, this was a peerless cultivation technique. If anyone else was frozen and unable to move for ten days, their entire body would have been scorched by the flames, and they would have to helplessly watch the Soul Refining Water corrode their own bodies little by little.
In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed. At this moment, only Ye Tian's head remained inside the ice sculpture, while the rest of his body had already been corroded by the Soul Refining Water. Although Ye Tian was still silently reciting the 'Sacred Heart Scripture', he was somewhat flustered. After all, it had only been twenty days and Ye Tian only had a head left. This head was less than a tenth of the size of the lower half of his body.
At this moment, Ye Tian was already in fear, saying that it was a lie to not be afraid of death. In the face of death, a person would be afraid, so helplessly, Ye Tian could only constantly chant the 'Sacred Heart Scripture', and as time passed, Ye Tian's mouth would slowly be corroded first, then his face, nose, and eyes. At this moment, Ye Tian's mouth no longer contained an unspeakable fear, so he could only silently recite the 'Sacred Heart Scripture' in his mind to reduce his fear.
In the past, the purple light would automatically come out to save him when he was in danger, so when he was trapped inside the ice sculpture, his lower body had been corroded. Ye Tian was afraid of it before, but now that his soul was almost completely corroded by the Soul Refining Water, that purple light still had not appeared.
Because his body was left with such a small amount of space, the flames began to concentrate and burn, causing Ye Tian to feel even more uncomfortable. Then, like a flood, the soul refining water swallowed up the earth, instantly corroding the last bit of Ye Tian's soul, causing him to lose consciousness.
At this time, in the hall outside, the Nether Ancestor sighed and said, "Sigh, staying here for 20 days with a Soul Formation cultivator is already not bad. Unfortunately, he still died in the end."
The instant Ye Tian's soul was completely corroded, Ye Tian's physical body within the room of the Vampiric Vine instantly disappeared without a trace. The Three-eyed Poisonous Wolf outside was greatly alarmed when it sensed that Ye Tian's aura had disappeared. It hurriedly walked in and discovered that Ye Tian was completely devoid of any aura. It sat there motionlessly like a living corpse. The Three-eyed Poisonous Wolf tried to send a sound transmission to Ye Tian a few times, but there was no response.
"Master can't be dead now, right? That's not right, if Master had fallen, I should have also fallen as well, why am I still fine right now. " The Three-Eye Poisonous Wolf muttered in his heart. After sending a sound transmission to Ye Tianming, the Three-Eye Poisonous Wolf could only continue to wait outside the door with doubt in its eyes.
