Unlike the previous tempering, when his attacks far surpassed his defenses and broke through his defenses, Wang Zhong could feel that his heart, lungs, liver, spleen, and kidneys were starting to show signs of being burnt. This was not the consumption of hundreds or thousands of divine cells. Instead, a large area of his organs was directly dying!
Hold on! He had to hold on!
Wang Zhong had discussed his experiences with the minor Heavenly Calamity with Grai previously. Frankly speaking, after listening to Grai's experiences, as well as Grai's descriptions of the various special minor Heavenly Calamities in history that he had read extensively, Wang Zhong was very optimistic about this. Regardless of whether it was his resistance to fire or the powerful recovery abilities of his divine cells, Hellfire was probably the thing that he was least afraid of. Even if he encountered the strongest Hellfire in history that Grai had mentioned, he would definitely be able to endure it. The difficulty would probably be the Tempering Soul Calamity. After all, he had a few Soul Guards of various sizes, as well as Simba. He had even signed a Soul Contract with Xiao Bai. All of these were bound to his soul …
However, he never expected that the first stage of the Hellfire, which he thought was the simplest, would be this powerful! The moment it erupted, it felt as if it was comparable to the strongest Hellfire in history that Grai had mentioned. Furthermore, it was continuously strengthening!
The more heaven-defying a path was, the more difficult it was to walk. This was common sense in cultivation. Lao Wang had obviously underestimated his potential, or rather, he had too few references and insufficient knowledge.
He just had to hold on!
At that moment, he was also holding on bitterly and desperately activated all the power in his divine cells. However, he had been trying to do this previously and did not relax or slack off at all. However, in the face of the Hellfire that was suppressing him, he seemed extremely powerless and pale.
At this moment, a slight tug on one part of his body affected the rest of his body. Just like the start of his collapse, Wang Zhong's opponent had sounded the bugle call for an all-out attack. From the moment the first black spots of necrosis appeared in his internal organs, Wang Zhong could already feel a mournful cry from the depths of his heart, as though he was about to die.
Great 5 Elements Constitution was ineffective.
Soul Power was ineffective.
Fire resistance was ineffective.
Divine cells were ineffective!
"Lao Wang! Hold on! You must hold on! "Simba screamed in fear in his Soul Sea. His mind was shaken, and his liver and guts were about to explode.
Even without Simba saying this, how could Wang Zhong not know that he had to hold on? My fate is up to me, not the heavens! Basically … it was nonsense!
He did everything he could. He recalled Grai's experience when he went through the Heavenly Tribulation. He wanted to use the violent and violent Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in this Heavenly Cycle for his own use. He wanted to use the power of this Heaven and Earth to resist the Hellfire in his heart.
But when he thought of this and wanted to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth by force, the tyrannical spiritual energy that was everywhere in the surroundings suddenly retreated, leaving only the raging Hellfire!
Karmic Fire was born in response to tribulation and died in response to tribulation. Even though it came from the heart, it was destined by the heavens. It was an existence that defied the heavens too much, able to make the world feel threatened, able to make the will of the universe view you as an enemy!
Even the heavens are not helping you!
"Masochist! Don't you f * cking play with fire all day long? Are you hiding in the toilet now? Quickly come out and save me! "Simba anxiously jumped up and down, crying and shouting in the Soul Sea," Where is the Fate Stone? And the Fate Stone, hurry up and save me! "
It was a pity that Salamander was only summoned by Simba's will, and Simba couldn't summon him at all. Furthermore, the Hellfire Calamity was different from ordinary high-temperature flames. With Salamander's level, he would die if he got close to it, let alone interfere with it! As for the Fate Stone, it seemed to only have a special effect on the soul. The Hellfire burning one's physical body didn't seem to be within its range of perception, and it was completely indifferent to it …
The fire soared into the sky, and the red light shone brightly!
Wang Zhong's internal organs were completely charred after being in this terrifying state for about two minutes. Even his entire body was suffering from the same or even more serious necrosis.
He could no longer move as his body had become charcoal and was extremely stiff. He could no longer circulate his Soul Power, and he couldn't even feel the existence of his own body and internal organs. Only a trace of his divine sense was still stubbornly standing in this' dead 'body, faintly throbbing …
Meanwhile, Simba felt that the light in his Soul Sea had dimmed. The original light gradually disappeared and was replaced by dusk. Then, it was complete darkness!
Lao — Lao Wang?!
He sat on the ground and widened his eyes. He simply didn't dare to believe what he had experienced in the past few minutes.
A few minutes ago, he was still excitedly singing and chatting with Lao Wang, celebrating his successful comprehension of the Three Sword Techniques in the Nebula Sword. He was still imagining that he would soon see the light of day again, that Lao Wang would break through to the Heavenly Soul Stage, and that everyone would escape from this godforsaken world … Ptui ptui ptui! There weren't even any birds here … Damn, what was he complaining about …
Countless chaotic thoughts floated through its mind, and it felt all sorts of sorrow, loss, rage, anxiety, disbelief, and various other thoughts and emotions surged into its mind at the same time, causing its consciousness to be in a mess. It was extremely suffocating, and it was suffocating to the point it was practically suffocating.
He didn't dare to believe this result, but his Soul Sea had completely dimmed. This meant that Wang Zhong's vital signs had completely disappeared, and he was inside.
If Wang Zhong died, his Soul Sea would naturally disappear, and Simba would be trapped in this unknown space. Perhaps he would be trapped for an eternity. He had no choice but to believe this.
"…" He was dumbfounded for a long time. He slowly regained his senses with great difficulty and cleared the many distracting thoughts in his mind. He could not help but feel sorrow in his heart. "Lao Wang! Why did you leave just like that … "
However, before Simba could properly cry, a ray of light suddenly flashed in the darkness. It was a smear of red light. It was as if there was a small piece of black charcoal that had not completely burned out among the ashes that had been completely burned. It released a scarlet color and revealed a weak aura.
Damn, I knew that this fellow wouldn't die so easily!
Simba instantly shut his mouth and stared at the light in the darkness with extreme nervousness.
Don't extinguish it! Don't extinguish it! You definitely can't extinguish it!
Perhaps Simba's prayer had been effective, or perhaps a single spark could start a prairie fire, but the light rapidly spread and became brighter, leaving behind a phoenix-like shadow in the darkness.
A wisp of extremely weak phoenix aura seeped into this space, but just this wisp was enough. The previous supreme had left a mark on Wang Zhong's body. Although Wang Zhong had used it up when he was on Earth, there was still a wisp of aura left behind. This was the supreme comprehension of a level-9 supreme being.
Construction after destruction!
If it was just this trace of aura, it would definitely be useless. However, Wang Zhong still had his divine cells, which were techniques with extremely heaven-defying regenerative abilities. Subconsciously, they fused with each other and gradually turned into something that belonged to him. They would accompany his soul and exist forever. Perhaps they were not as heaven-defying as the true supreme of flames, but they were enough to endure the minor Heavenly Calamity.
His extremely weak consciousness flashed again, and his body that had been burnt to charcoal started to 'shed'. Countless black ashes rustled and peeled off from the surface, revealing a new, sparkling and translucent body that contained an endless aura of life.
He was reborn from the ashes and would never be destroyed. He was reborn from the flames!
His Soul Sea lit up again, and Simba screamed excitedly. Meanwhile, Wang Zhong stood there with his eyes closed and did not move. The Hellfire Calamity had not ended, and it did not weaken at all. However, Wang Zhong was no longer injured.
The Karmic Fire that was burning non-stop seemed to have become an aid to his rebirth. Not only did it cause the surface layer of the dead charcoal skin to fall off even faster, it was also as if it was being absorbed back into his body. It gradually fused into his new and perfect body, causing the vitality of his entire body to become even stronger …
The abnormal fiery light in the castle finally started to weaken, and the temperature was no longer as high. However, Grai, who was not far away, was dumbfounded as he watched. He had experienced this calamity not long ago. Back then, he had endured so much and reached his limits. Every minute and second was still vivid in his mind. However, what Wang Zhong had experienced was 10 times or even 100 times more terrifying than what he had experienced previously. Even his body had been burnt to charcoal, but he could still be reborn from the flames. What kind of powerful regenerative ability was this? He was simply undying and indestructible.
He was too powerful! Furthermore, after experiencing this Hellfire Calamity, what kind of terrifying Heavenly Soul would he become?
If the people in the Holy City saw Wang Zhong's Hellfire Calamity, he would probably be recorded in the annals of history … They had expected that he would be extraordinary, but it still exceeded their expectations. As expected of Senior!
The Hellfire gradually disappeared. There was no light or warmth. His surroundings gradually calmed down, and Wang Zhong finally opened his eyes.
At that moment, he was completely naked, but it did not seem inelegant at all. He was like a newborn. Unlike ordinary Heavenly Souls who were covered in golden light, when his Soul Power started to circulate in his body, there was not much golden light. However, his body naturally became pure and translucent, as if he was a flawless piece of jade.
Although the Hellfire was a calamity, it was also a source of good fortune. It could temper one's body and allow one to be reborn. This was not an exaggeration. The stronger the Hellfire, the better the effect of tempering one's body. Furthermore, unlike the fatigue others felt after passing the first calamity, Wang Zhong did not feel tired at all. On the contrary, he felt energetic and full of energy.
Perhaps it was because he had closed his eyes for too long after completing the Hellfire Calamity. He wanted to allow the remaining power of the Hellfire to further enhance the effect of tempering his body. As a result, he had wasted some time. At that moment, before Wang Zhong could carefully experience the feeling of being reborn, the next calamity had arrived.
The Tempering Soul Calamity.
His consciousness rapidly sank and was pulled into a colorful space. This space was extremely strange. The ground was black and white and spread out in a grid pattern, like a massive chessboard. Meanwhile, the sky was red, and large red clouds filled the sky. It was as if they were the legendary burning clouds.
He felt as if he had fallen from the sky. The surroundings were filled with an extremely powerful wave of spiritual influence that settled and brewed in the entire space. The moment he landed and stood still, he felt a throbbing from his soul. It was as if his consciousness had twitched. The space around him was suddenly pulled apart, and five figures appeared beside him one after another.
The Headless Knight, Alice, Salamander, Big White, and Simba …
The moment these five people appeared, Wang Zhong immediately felt that the sense of oppression in this space had increased. Furthermore, it was not just a little. Every time one of them appeared, the sense of oppression in the entire space would almost double! At that moment, the spiritual influence in this space was so dense that ordinary people could see it with their naked eyes. Waves of spiritual influence gathered in the air. Not only did it not dissipate for a long time, but it also affected the rules in this space, causing Wang Zhong to feel that even the gravity of the earth had increased. As a result, his body had also become heavier.
This was the iron law of the Tempering Soul Calamity. Any spirit that had a symbiotic relationship with the main body's soul would be seen as a part of the main body's soul and would be pulled into the space of the Tempering Soul Calamity. At the same time, the difficulty of the Tempering Soul Calamity would increase based on the number of spirits.
If a normal Tempering Soul Calamity was at the Terror Level, then a Tempering Soul Calamity with a symbiotic spirit would be at the Nightmare Level. Two would be at the Death Level, and three would be at the Hell Level … Five? No one had ever categorized this level, because ever since humans began to cultivate for hundreds of years, no one had ever done such a stupid thing! If there had to be a level, Simba felt that it could be called the 'Heaven Level'. It would make one feel like dying and unable to stop!
The Soul Contract itself could not be canceled. Thus, most practitioners who had soul-bound beasts would 'get rid of' their soul pets as early as possible before they were ready to undergo the minor Heavenly Calamity. Of course, that was just a euphemistic way of saying it. To be more direct, they would kill their Soul Beasts or Soul Guards …
Some time ago, when Grai mentioned this, he had tactfully hinted at Wang Zhong, but Wang Zhong had ignored him.
Kill? Kill who? Simba? Big White? Salamander, Alice, or the Headless Knight?
Deny himself? People like Wang Zhong had a firm mind. When faced with demons, denying himself was the most terrifying thing. He would press forward with indomitable will!
At that moment, there was no panic on his face. On the contrary, there was a faint smile on his face. The feeling of being reborn from the ashes was still lingering in his body, making him feel that his current state was unprecedentedly good.
Who cared if it was a mountain of knives or a sea of fire? He would just come!
The few of them obviously felt the pressure from the space. Although they only had a little bit of consciousness and intelligence, unlike Wang Zhong, who was calm, the Headless Knight, Salamander, and Alice immediately became serious, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. On the other hand, Da Bai was in a much more miserable state. His strength was already his weakest point to begin with, and under the pressure of the gravity in this space, his eyes rolled over as he collapsed to the ground. He wailed in fear and couldn't even get up.
As for Simba, he had a rare serious look on his face.
It had to be said that Simba's sixth sense was very strong. He could completely feel the hostility this space had towards the souls of the residents like them. It was as if this space had a consciousness, and it couldn't wait to swallow him alive!
This was definitely not a joke. Not only was it extremely dangerous for the host to undergo the minor Heavenly Calamity with a soul-bound companion, it was also extremely dangerous for the companion.
This was because the master was usually much stronger than the contracted companion. As the Tempering Soul Calamity continued to get stronger, the master might still have a chance to survive, but the companion would usually end up in a miserable state. Of course, if these companion could really pass the Tempering Soul Calamity with a slim chance of survival, it would be a super tempering as if they were reborn. Their strength would be unimaginably powerful. Thus, many people would choose to subdue a soul pet during the Heroic Soul Stage. If they felt that they were strong enough and their soul pet was strong when they underwent the minor Heavenly Calamity in the future, they would give it a try. Once the soul pet succeeded, it would definitely become an extremely powerful help when they reached the Heavenly Soul Stage. Furthermore, if they felt that they were not confident, they would kill the soul pet and face the calamity alone …
They couldn't escape from this. What was meant to happen would eventually happen.
It directly transformed into a mask and stuck itself on Wang Zhong's face. "Lao Wang, fight!"
The familiar companions and the leisurely fusion that came from the mask allowed Wang Zhong to sense everything around him even more clearly. He could even clearly see every strand of hair on the heads of the dozen black shadows.
He took a step forward and faintly assumed the posture of shielding Big White behind him. As he took this step, a dozen black and white stone statues immediately rose from the ground in the black-and-white checkerboard in front of him.
Their figures were exactly the same. They were standard humanoid creatures, and the aura that they emitted was comparable to Wang Zhong's before he underwent the Heavenly Calamity. When they released their Soul Power, they could already touch the spiritual influence in the heaven and the earth. They faintly felt as if they were about to fuse with the heaven and the earth.
They were Semi-Heavenly Souls. Furthermore, they were not ordinary Semi-Heavenly Souls. Instead, they were experts whose Soul Power, physical body, and realm were extremely close to perfection!
The 10 phantoms did not attack immediately. Not only did they possess extremely powerful strength, they also possessed combat intelligence. After the 10 black phantoms appeared, they merely shifted their feet slightly, faintly forming a conical shape as they confronted Wang Zhong. Although their facial features could not be seen on their pitch-black faces, Wang Zhong felt as if they were examining and sizing him up.
Since the other party did not attack, Wang Zhong did not attack either.
The first wave of the Tempering Soul Calamity was just a test. Taking advantage of the fact that the difficulty at the beginning was not high, he needed to have a better understanding of these black shadows. For a moment, the space was silent, and the atmosphere was bleak.
When he saw this, Simba's heart simply sank. This was the experience that Simba had obtained from Grai. The Tempering Soul Calamity would create endless waves of enemies until the spiritual influence in the entire space was completely exhausted. Furthermore, from the abundant spiritual influence in this space, it would definitely be an extremely long and protracted battle if they wanted to exhaust all the spiritual influence.
Furthermore, even though he knew that Wang Zhong had five soul contractors and that the Tempering Soul Calamity that he would face would definitely be extremely terrifying, there had to be a limit to how terrifying it was, right?
In the Tempering Soul Calamity, when Grai had just come out, he was only an ordinary peak Heroic Soul. After going through the Tempering Soul Calamity a few times, he had barely reached the Semi-Heavenly Soul Stage. But what about Wang Zhong? This was just the beginning of the wave of enemies, but they were already at the absolute peak of the Semi-Heavenly Soul Stage … To be honest, putting aside the fact that Wang Zhong had comprehended the Three Sword Techniques, just the powerful physical body that he had obtained after being reborn in flames was enough to destroy the enemies in front of him. However, the problem was, what about in the future?
If this continued, wouldn't he have to fight Heavenly Soul experts? Or even peak Heavenly Souls? Furthermore, he would have to fight dozens of them at once, and after defeating one wave, he would have to face another wave …
This was a minor Heavenly Calamity! Lao Wang had not even crossed the threshold of the Heavenly Soul Stage!
