Xiao Chen was thrown into the stone jar. For several thousand years, he had been suffering from purgatory-like torture.
Thunder rumbled in his ears. His surroundings flickered with primal chaos light. He had fallen into a terrifying world.
First, he floated in the Lightning Pool for several hundred years. Every day, he was struck by five bolts of lightning. Over the years, his body had been shattered countless times. However, every time his body and soul were about to be destroyed, the lightning would always recede, allowing his body to heal on its own.
Only after several hundred years did he sink into a world of flames. He experienced the underworld flames of hell. His skin and flesh were torn apart every day.
After several hundred years, he sank into a pool of blood. Every day, he was corroded by the filthy blood. His body was ruined beyond recognition. His flesh and blood dissipated. His essence, Qi, and spirit were damaged.
After that, he was thrown into a great millstone of heaven and earth. His entire body and soul were crushed into a pulp of flesh and bone, and his divine sense was torn apart.
However, he did not reach the end of his life. Every time he was about to turn into ashes, someone would pull him back from the brink of death.
After experiencing all kinds of horrifying torture, his physical body and spiritual sense did not wither. Instead, they became stronger. It was as if a pair of terrifying hands were tempering him.
It could be said that this was an extremely painful process. He had experienced all kinds of torture. Xiao Chen suspected that he had fallen into the eighteenth layer of hell. Every few hundred years, he would descend a layer and suffer a new kind of torture.
Soon after, he finally felt it. It was the demonic shadow that was controlling all of this.
The demonic shadow used this stone jar to refine him. Yes, it was completely treating him as a treasure and not a living being. It was like forging a sharp weapon, refining him according to the will of the demonic shadow.
"Roar …"
All the acupoints in Xiao Chen's body lit up. This was especially so for the three hundred and sixty-five main acupoints. Three hundred and sixty-five indistinct figures opened their eyes at the same time and let out furious roars.
And the demonic shadow's formless hand seemed to be moving for them. The formless hand used all kinds of hell-like laws in the stone jar to refine Xiao Chen's body and suppress the three hundred and sixty-five figures.
All the acupoints in Xiao Chen's body shone with resplendent divine light. Every acupoint was empty before it turned hazy. Every acupoint was like a chaotic universe. Boundless chaotic universes gathered around his body, possessing a great might.
Perhaps this was what the Demonic Shadow truly valued. He wanted to refine Xiao Chen and suppress the three hundred and sixty-five figures, wanting to merge them all into one.
However, he didn't push it too hard. Several hundred years, then a thousand years passed by in a hurry. Xiao Chen fell more than ten levels in the stone jar. After suffering endless torture, he finally landed heavily on the ground. He descended into a stone cave.
In the deepest part of the cave, the sound of the iron chains was deafening, as if someone was violently beating on his eardrums.
Was this the world inside the stone jar?
Xiao Chen sized up his surroundings. It was chaotic and hazy in the distance. He could not see anything at all. Nearby, there was a tall stone wall and a huge stone cave in front of him.
The demonic shadow's power couldn't reach the deepest part of the stone jar. After reaching this area, the pair of invisible hands retreated.
Perhaps he wanted to force Xiao Chen here so that he could continue refining everything in the depths of the stone jar.
This was a path that Xiao Chen did not have a choice in. He could not break free and could only explore the depths of the stone jar.
Xiao Chen walked towards the grotto. He knew that this was the real situation inside the stone jar.
From the outside, it looked like a small jar, but inside, there was a vast universe.
"Ta … … Ta … … Ta … …"
In front, a beautiful figure was moving forward aimlessly like a soulless person. It was that beautiful female corpse. The sound of her footsteps echoed in the grotto.
In addition to the rumbling sound of the iron chains in the distance, this stone jar world seemed very mysterious.
Xiao Chen was startled. He quietly followed behind her. This female corpse was unfathomable. Although she seemed to have lost her spiritual consciousness, her instincts were still very strong.
Right in front of her, a wave of flickering ghostly flames swept over like a vast ocean. However, the female corpse seemed to be facing a gentle lake. She gently glided past it, and all the flames automatically extinguished in front of her.
When Xiao Chen approached and tried to pass through, he felt an unparalleled scorching sensation. His entire body felt like it was being roasted. His blood was boiling and his flesh was lacerated.
The powerful female corpse could rely on her instincts to enter an unstoppable state. Xiao Chen was extremely shocked.
"Wuu … … Wuu … …"
A chilly wind blew. In the depths of the grotto, there was a brightly-colored shadow. It was like a ghost baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as it pounced towards the female corpse.
Although there was no earth-shattering pressure, Xiao Chen felt an extremely sharp aura. It was like a sharp heavenly sword piercing through the blue dome of heaven.
He was horrified. The Heavenly Realm's Stoneman King!
Xiao Chen felt a familiar aura. That figure was closely related to the Heavenly Realm's Stoneman King. That was the Stoneman King that was swallowed by the Demonic Qi on the ninety-nine stone steps.
However, its stone body had already decayed. What was left was only a remnant spirit. Even so, it could not be underestimated. Although it no longer had the battle prowess of the Stoneman King, it was still a powerful evil spirit.
A pure specter that had lost its consciousness!
"Bang … …"
However, when the powerful specter touched the female corpse, it was still sent flying by a formless force.
"Aooo … …"
That specter let out a scalp-numbing wail. It was incomparably ear-piercing as it pounced forward again. One must know that this was the remnant spirit formed after the Stoneman King fell. Although it had lost its powerful battle prowess, the origin power it contained was still very terrifying. It almost stuck to the female corpse's body. The brightly-colored soul shadow was about to enter the corpse.
Just at this moment, the female corpse instinctively chopped down with her right hand. Without making any sound, it heavily cut the specter in half.
After that, she seemed to have some doubts and stopped moving. A multicolored light lingered on her five slender fingers. That was the origin power of the specter.
"Chi! Chi!
Chi! "The specter let out a final miserable shriek. It was refined by an indescribable force between the female corpse's fingers. It turned into the purest origin power and entered the female corpse's body.
Xiao Chen sucked in a cold breath. This female corpse gave him goosebumps. Killing the enemy on its own and seizing the origin power, this was a kind of terrifying instinct.
The female corpse continued to move forward. As if she had sensed something, as if she was being led, she walked towards the deepest part of the grotto.
Xiao Chen found it hard to calm down as he followed unhurriedly.
The front gradually widened, and a swamp appeared. It was less than ten miles in radius, but it was extremely muddy. The stench was overwhelming. There were a few broken limbs in the mud. They were all the limbs of the Stoneman King. They were covered in cracks and almost completely shattered.
Xiao Chen recognized them at a glance. They belonged to the Heavenly Realm's Stoneman King. He was one of the people that the demonic shadow had devoured and torn apart. He did not expect that the demonic shadow would also throw him into the stone jar.
What was it trying to do? Could it be that it wanted to feed the terrifying existence that was sealed in the stone jar?
After arriving here, the two arms, one of the Stoneman King's legs, and half of its torso suddenly rushed out of the swamp. They reformed in midair and pounced towards the female corpse.
There was no suspense in the result. The stone body shattered and turned into specks of essence energy that entered the female corpse's body.
Now, Xiao Chen gradually understood what the demonic shadow meant when it said it wanted to nurture the strongest body.
It threw the Stoneman King's broken body and spirit, as well as Xiao Chen and the female corpse into the stone jar. It let them devour each other and finally form the strongest body to walk out.
It was just like how the common people nurtured a real battle mastiff. Nine dogs and one mastiff were sealed in a secret room. The real mastiff king ate the nine dogs and lived to see the light of day again.
Perhaps the demonic shadow valued the female corpse the most. It could not do anything to the thing in the stone jar, so it did not dare to take the risk of entering. Therefore, it used the female corpse's instinct to put her inside. Along the way, it kept using all kinds of broken body parts and spirit fragments to lure the female corpse. It wanted to use the female corpse to devour the thing sealed in the deepest part of the stone jar.
The further they went, the wider their field of vision became. In the deepest part of the cave world, there was a vast ocean. There was a huge island in the middle of the ocean. There were many palaces on the island, and in the center, there was a gloomy stone prison.
The stone prison surrounded by the palaces was the source of the vibration of the iron chains.
The female corpse stood in the blue ocean and looked at the huge island in the distance. She did not continue to move forward. Just at this time, an ethereal voice came from the ocean.
"Get out … kill your way out …"
Like a ghost, the voice echoed on the vast ocean. It was ethereal and somewhat frightening.
The female corpse slowly walked forward. The blue waves surged. Although she did not have any breath of life, she was extremely beautiful. She quickly approached the huge island.
"Rumble …"
The tide surged, covering the sky and covering the earth.
All of a sudden, a tsunami appeared. The white waves were like a waterfall, coming from afar and drowning the female corpse.
A strange headless man with a pair of stone wings on his back was riding on a stone beast. He was holding a strange weapon, the Phoenix Wing Stone Clang, as he rushed over.
"Get out, I want to get out …"
"Kill your way out, leave this place …"
At the same time, the ethereal voice became like thunder. It sounded like millions of evil souls were wailing. It seemed like there were countless cultivators buried in this sea.
"Halt … step …"
And that strange headless man also let out an owl-like voice. It was sonorous and ear-piercing, like two metal plates rubbing against each other.
His speech seemed to be very incoherent, and he seemed to be delirious, "Who … is it …"
"This is … the origin of all evil?"
Xiao Chen called out from far behind.
"I've come to find … the origin of all evil. Is there … the Three Emperors Mirror? Is there … the Five Emperors Pagoda?"
The strange man riding on the stone beast spoke in a mechanical voice.
"No."
"Trespassers will die!"
Although the strange man's speech was becoming more and more fluent, it was becoming less and less like a sentient being. He pointed the strange weapon in his hand forward.
The female corpse didn't say anything. It was impossible for her to say anything because she had already lost her soul. Her instincts were driving her forward, forcing her to approach the strange man with a pair of stone wings.
Her white robes fluttered as she walked, like a goddess of the moon. Although she had no soul, she had an innate temperament. She didn't have a soul, but she had a temperament. This was a combination of contradictions, giving her an extremely unique and peerless charm.
"Clang …"
Five slender fingers brushed past and clashed with the sharp Phoenix Wing Stone Clang. A sonorous sound rang out, but her fingers were not damaged in the slightest. She had stopped the monarch stone weapon with her bare hands.
