Every stab was so bloody that no one could bear to look at it. After the ninth stab, Lin Fan's eyes widened. After the nine stabs, nine thumb-sized wounds surrounded Xiao Chen's heart, forming an average-sized circle.
"Dong! Dong!
Dong! "Xiao Chen's heart pounded rhythmically. Every time it beat, his body absorbed a vast amount of Primordial Energy.
Xiao Chen's physical body could explode at any moment. What was the meaning of playing with the heartbeat? Xiao Chen's current state vividly displayed this saying.
Although Xiao Chen already did his best to absorb this Primordial Energy into his Heart of an Emperor, it was still far from enough.
If the Flame Rock Sovereign did not take some measures, Xiao Chen would explode into pieces in a short while.
There was still one last Primordial Pill in the jade bottle. However, the Flame Rock Sovereign did not use it. After closing the jade bottle, he quickly tapped Xiao Chen's chest with one hand.
Light flickered on the tip of the Flame Rock Sovereign's finger. With every tap, a beam of light soared into the sky from Xiao Chen's body.
After tapping nine times, a miniature formation appeared on Xiao Chen's chest, slowly circulating.
At the same time, a formation appeared under Xiao Chen's feet. Like the nine beams of light, there was a formation in the air.
"This formation is called the Nine Revolution Universe Origin Formation. In the past, Immortals used it to temper their Immortal War Body. After I obtained it, I made some changes to it. Firstly, it can maintain your physical body, preventing it from exploding from the Primordial Pill's Medicinal Energy. Secondly, it can amplify the Medicinal Energy. With every revolution of the Nine Revolution Universe Origin Formation, the Primordial Energy will increase by half. "
The Flame Rock Sovereign withdrew his hand, revealing a fatigued expression. "This formation represents heaven, earth, and man. The three links are interconnected, and you cannot do without any of them.
"If you cannot endure the pain from the Medicinal Energy and give up halfway, the formation on your chest will be destroyed. The instant the formation loses balance, you will turn to ashes as well."
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly in his heart. The intense pain prevented him from speaking. If he could speak, he would definitely curse out loud. The Flame Rock Sovereign had forced him into a dead end.
Xiao Chen had not expected the Flame Rock Sovereign's cultivation method to be so dangerous.
The Flame Rock Sovereign smiled faintly and said, "I'll go and drink first. Little Friend, you have to do your best and hold on. Otherwise, this Flame Rock castle that has been passed down for thousands of years will be destroyed along with you."
The Flame Rock Sovereign forced a smile and quickly left, like he was dodging a human bomb. This angered Xiao Chen to the point of wanting to rush out and kick the Flame Rock Sovereign.
The Flame Rock Sovereign, who appeared to have left easily, had not actually gone far. He and Ao Jiao drank wine on a tall building. As long as the two turned their heads slightly, they would see Xiao Chen seated cross-legged on the ground.
"Xiao Ba, aren't you being too harsh on Xiao Chen?" Ao Jiao said worriedly as she looked at the wound on Xiao Chen's chest that had not healed yet and listened to his thumping heart.
Xiao Chen's skin had already split open. Blood seeped out and dyed his white robes scarlet from the inside out. Veins bulged on Xiao Chen's forehead, and blood covered his face. Who knew what kind of pain he was enduring?
The Flame Rock Sovereign said sullenly, "He has no choice but to be more ruthless. He is a Consummation Blue Robed Emperor. If he wants to condense one hundred strands of Primordial Energy, even if he has the Primordial Pill, the half-step Golden Body, and my Nine Revolution Universe Origin Formation, he will have to gamble with his life. "
"The heaven-defying path is not dangerous at all, so it cannot be considered heaven-defying."
Ao Jiao put down her wine cup and frowned slightly. "Please don't let anything happen to him. Dancing on the edge of a knife is really worrying."
The Flame Rock Sovereign smiled and said, "Don't worry. Given his tenacity, he will be able to endure it. If it really surpasses what he cannot accomplish, I will not force him into a dead end."
Ao Jiao smiled faintly and turned her head. "Xiao Ba, many thanks to you this time. Let me offer you a toast on behalf of Xiao Chen."
The Flame Rock Sovereign smiled embarrassedly and said, "Elder Sister Ao Jiao, why are you being so polite with me? He inherited the treasures that the Thunder King left behind. Now that you asked me for help, how could I possibly reject? Without you and without the Thunder King, how could there be the current Flame Rock Sovereign?
"Furthermore, this little fellow is indeed a charming treasure. His potential has not been dug out yet. Perhaps I might have to seek guidance from him in the future."
Xiao Chen guessed that the Flame Rock Sovereign's willingness to teach him had a lot to do with Ao Jiao. However, he did not guess that Ao Jiao personally asked the Flame Rock Sovereign for his sake.
After thinking about it carefully, one could understand. Without a deep connection, which Sovereign Martial Emperor would teach an outsider their consummate technique that they did not pass on?
Furthermore, they would waste one month to teach Xiao Chen personally. No one in the world would be nice to you for no reason.
The setting sun shone on the tall building, dyeing Ao Jiao's youthful face red.
She put down her wine cup and looked at Xiao Chen with a melancholic expression. She muttered to herself, Little Ao Jiao, it is useless. I can only help you up to this point.
"Dong! Dong! "
Three days later, Xiao Chen's heartbeat finally slowed down. However, when it slowed down, the Primordial Energy it carried became even more vast and heavy.
It was like an ancient divine bell, beating every time it beat, shocking everyone. Every time it beat, the entire Flame Rock castle trembled.
However, this time, the Flame Rock Sovereign had the foresight to lay a formation outside the castle, isolating all sound.
Otherwise, with the sound of Xiao Chen's heartbeat resounding in the sky like a divine bell, it would definitely attract all the cultivators in Dark City.
Up in the tall building, the Flame Rock Sovereign's expression relaxed. He said to Ao Jiao, "His situation has already stabilized. Even if he gives up now, there will not be any danger of his body exploding. It all depends on how much he can obtain in the end."
Joy flashed on Ao Jiao's face. "What do you mean?"
The Flame Rock Sovereign explained, "This Nine Revolution Universe Origin Formation relies on the cultivator's talent. In the most perfect situation, it can use nine Primordial Pills to form ninety strands of Primordial Energy."
Ao Jiao found it strange. She said, "I know about the Primordial Pill. Although it is hard to refine and extremely rare in the Kunlun Realm, it should not have such a horrifying effect, right? Even so, the medicinal effect shouldn't be so terrifying, right? A single pill can form a strand of Primordial Energy. "
The Flame Rock Sovereign smiled and said, "Elder Sister Ao Jiao, you might not know about this. My Nine Revolution Universe Origin Formation is a formation passed down from the Immortal Epoch. It can amplify the Medicinal Energy. A skilled formation master can double the Medicinal Energy with each cycle. After layering it nine times, it will reach an astronomical number.
"This is just a simplified version of the Nine Revolution Universe Origin Formation. It is not that horrifying. However, it can still increase the Medicinal Energy by eighty-one times. Do you still think I'm exaggerating?"
Ao Jiao said after some thought, "Eighty-one times, that is more than seven hundred Primordial Pills. Given that, it is indeed not an exaggeration."
"However, in the end, it still depends on his luck. If he is not determined enough, it would not be strange for him to condense only ten strands of Primordial Energy," the Flame Rock Sovereign said after some thought.
Ao Jiao asked, "How much Primordial Energy do you think Xiao Chen can condense in the end?"
The Flame Rock Sovereign thought for a while before voicing his opinion. "Right now, for every day he persists, he can obtain ten strands of Primordial Energy. I estimate that he can persist for another five days and finally condense sixty strands of Primordial Energy."
Ao Jiao said indifferently, "I feel that he can persist for nine days. Before he completely absorbs the Medicinal Energy, he will not stop."
The Flame Rock Sovereign said, "That's impossible. Could it be that he has experienced something even more painful than this?"
Ao Jiao smiled and did not say anything. Xiao Chen had indeed experienced it before. The lightning tribulation in the Sky Dome Realm was much more painful than this.
Five days passed in a flash. The time that the Flame Rock Sovereign estimated for Xiao Chen was up. However, Xiao Chen still showed no signs of stopping.
"How did this fellow do it?" the Flame Rock Sovereign exclaimed in shock.
Under the triple formation of heaven, earth, and man, Xiao Chen's current aura was already so surging that it was terrifying. A faint Emperor's Might spread behind Xiao Chen, lingering for a long time, suppressing him layer by layer.
The Flame Rock Sovereign's eyes lit up. Peering through the layers of light, he saw that Xiao Chen had already condensed sixty strands of Primordial Energy.
Every strand of Primordial Energy was incredibly dense, like a True Dragon. The vast and forceful Primordial Energy swam in Xiao Chen's Heart of an Emperor, roaring endlessly along with his heartbeat.
"This fellow actually didn't forget to refine the Primordial Energy while he was condensing it."
The shock in the Flame Rock Sovereign's heart could not be described with words. Given this, when the Medicinal Pill finished absorbing the Primordial Energy, Xiao Chen would be able to completely control the Primordial Energy. ---
The sun rose and set. Another three days passed.
The Emperor's Might behind Xiao Chen piled up. It was already boundlessly heavy, nearly turning solid.
"The effects of the Medicinal Pill are over. It's time to open your eyes, right?"
The Flame Rock Sovereign muttered. When he saw the Emperor's Might behind Xiao Chen, the Flame Rock Sovereign sighed in his heart. He had personally created a miracle.
The Consummation Blue Robed Emperor had cultivated one hundred strands of Primordial Energy. When Xiao Chen opened his eyes, it would be like a new Emperor Wu was born.
Right after the Flame Rock Sovereign spoke, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and the accumulated Emperor's Might behind him burst out.
"Bang!" The Emperor's Might, which had been suppressed for a long time, soared into the sky like a rainbow, instantly shattering the formation that the Flame Rock Sovereign laid.
Then, it tore through the clouds and turned into colorful clouds spreading out, encasing the entire Dark City.
Colorful light spread out, and Emperor's Might spread everywhere.
The many cultivators in Dark City looked up, feeling shocked in their hearts.
Which lucky person cleared the Great Tribulation of wind and fire and advanced to Martial Emperor?
Only someone who had just advanced to Emperor Wu would appear, unable to control the Emperor's Might and causing colorful clouds to fill the sky. However, after thinking about it, they felt that this was impossible. The Great Tribulation of wind and fire caused such a huge commotion. How could there be no sign at all?
All of this was something that only the Thirteen Great Bandits of Dark City were able to guess at. At the same time, they revealed smiles on their faces. They had not given the wrong engraved medallion back then. That person was worthy of their support.
Inside the Flame Rock castle, Xiao Chen drifted over. He smiled and said, "Senior, I did not let you down. I successfully endured it."
The Flame Rock Sovereign smiled and said, "Congratulations. However, I'm afraid that I cannot teach you the final technique."
Feeling curious, Xiao Chen asked, "Why?"
The Flame Rock Sovereign said helplessly, "Originally, I was preparing to simulate a Great Tribulation of wind and fire to let you experience it in advance. However, you are growing too fast, far surpassing my expectations.
"I can no longer simulate your Great Tribulation of wind and fire. If I let you clear it easily, it will only mislead you. It will only mislead you and will not have any effect at all. Instead, it will be harmful. "
