"Big Brother …"
When the Fengsha Sword saw Xiao Chen in such pain, it was extremely worried. However, it could not help Xiao Chen at all. It could only watch helplessly as Xiao Chen continued suffering the inhumane torture.
"Chu …" The Golden Roc was also extremely worried for Xiao Chen, but it was helpless. However, most of its attention was on the surrounding mountains, so it could not help Xiao Chen share the pain. All it could do was seriously guard him.
"Roar."
While Xiao Chen was suffering, the Lion King, who was 500 feet away, was also suffering immense pain. The energy contained in a Grade 9 desolate beast's inner core was more than ten times or even dozens of times stronger than that of a Grade 8 desolate beast's inner core. The berserk factor in the energy was even more terrifying.
Fortunately, the Lion King's body was strong and so was his strength. In addition, the Holy Elixir could reduce the Lion King's pain, so the Lion King was barely able to endure it.
The Lion King's refinement of the inner core was to eliminate the impurities and berserk factor in the inner core. Then, he would absorb the pure Desolate Energy essence within the inner core and make it his own.
As for Xiao Chen, it was the exact opposite. Xiao Chen was using the berserk factor in the inner core to activate the divine factor in his bloodline. As for the energy in the inner core, he did not dare to absorb it. The massive amount of energy contained in an Grade 8 desolate beast's inner core was enough to burst ten of his bodies, so how could he dare to absorb it? Unless he did not want to live anymore.
In the valley, two of the four brothers were suffering immense pain. The other two were extremely worried, but they could not help at all. The refinement of a desolate beast's inner core could only be done by the warrior or desolate beast that had refined the inner core. Others could not help at all. If they were to interfere, it would only make things worse.
The Fengsha Sword radiated its powerful divine sense in all directions, controlling everything within a radius of five miles. Once a human or a beast appeared and threatened Xiao Chen and the Lion King, it would launch a deadly strike without hesitation.
Originally, Xiao Chen had planned on giving the Lion King a healing panacea to consume together with a ninth-tiered desolate beast's neidan. However, in the end, he did not give it to the Lion King. This was not because Xiao Chen was stingy, but because the Lion King could not consume a healing panacea while refining the neidan.
For desolate beasts to become strong, other than cultivating Desolate Energy, they also had to temper their bodies. Tempering their bodies was not just about tempering the exterior of their bodies, but also the interior of their bodies. Only by strengthening both the interior and exterior of their bodies would their bodies be strong. Only with a strong body would they be able to withstand blows and possess powerful attacks.
The attacking methods of desolate beasts and warriors were different. Other than using Desolate Energy to attack, desolate beasts still relied on their limbs and teeth to attack their enemies. This required the desolate beast's body to be extremely strong, or it would not be a match for warriors wielding divine weapons.
When the Lion King refined a ninth-tiered desolate beast's neidan, he could use the powerful essence of the neidan's Desolate Energy to temper his body's flesh, organs, bones, etc. It did not matter if he suffered some internal injuries. The Lion King's Desolate Energy had a slow healing effect, allowing him to heal himself.
Tempering the body was a slow process. It could not be done overnight.
If the Lion King were to use healing elixirs to heal himself, the super healing effects of the elixirs would not take long to heal his internal injuries. It would not have any body-tempering effect. He could only rely on his own Desolate Energy to slowly heal himself to achieve the effect of body-tempering.
The Lion King's body was hundreds of times stronger than Xiao Chen's. In addition, the Sacred Elixir had the magical effect of reducing pain, so he could naturally withstand the terrifying energy of a ninth-tiered desolate beast's neidan. However, it was impossible for him to absorb all the energy contained in the neidan. It would be pretty good if he could absorb and use half of it.
Time passed very slowly as he endured the pain. It felt like a day was like a year. Not only Xiao Chen and the Lion King had such a feeling, even the Fengsha Sword and Golden Roc, who were in charge of protecting him, had such a feeling.
Despite feeling it, time continued to pass at a normal speed. Soon, four hours had passed.
"Ah! Ah Ah Ah … "
In the past two hours, Xiao Chen's screams had not stopped. His voice was almost hoarse. Xiao Chen's willpower, perseverance and endurance far exceeded that of an ordinary person. If he could not help but scream, it was imaginable what kind of pain he was suffering.
Xiao Haoran had only told Xiao Chen the evolutionary conditions and method of the Demonic God's Gift. He did not mention how painful the evolutionary process was. Perhaps even he did not know what the evolutionary process was like.
If not for the two Sacred Elixirs that Xiao Chen had consumed, he would have been finished. How could he last for four hours? The effects of the two healing elixirs were very long and very effective. One reduced Xiao Chen's pain, while the other quickly healed Xiao Chen's internal injuries.
After four hours of refinement, the two Sacred Elixirs had long been refined by Xiao Chen. The medicinal essence had spread to every part of his body, constantly fighting against the destructive Desolate Energy essence.
The Sacred Elixirs had been refined, but the grade eight desolate beast inner core had not been completely refined. Only half of it had been refined. Once the medicinal essence of the two Sacred Elixirs was completely depleted, Xiao Chen would suffer even more. Thankfully, the effects of the Sacred Elixirs were very long, so it should not be a problem for him to last for a few more hours.
In addition, the two bottles of supplementary medicinal liquid had not been completely consumed. There was still less than half of it left, so the amount of medicinal liquid should be enough. This was the experience of predecessors, so there should not be too much difference.
"Ah, Ah Ah …"
Xiao Chen's clothes were drenched in cold sweat. As his body was in too much pain, a large amount of heat was released. Coupled with the massive amount of Desolate Energy essence that was leaking out, his drenched clothes started to steam. It felt like his entire body was emitting smoke.
In addition, Xiao Chen's body was constantly trembling violently. His facial muscles were deformed due to the extreme pain. What was even more terrifying was that his mouth, nose, and every pore on his body were slowly oozing scarlet blood.
Such inhumane torture was enough to make a person wish they were dead. If not for Xiao Chen's strong willpower and endurance, he would have fainted and died.
"Roar Roar Roar!"
"Shoo! Shoo!
Shoo! Shoo! "
In the distance, the Lion King was in so much pain that he was going crazy. He constantly roared as he scurried around. He clawed at the grass with his four claws, causing dust and grass to fill the air. If there were boulders and trees in the valley, he would have slammed his head into them to relieve the pain in his body.
Fortunately, the Lion King was conscious and did not rush towards Xiao Chen. Otherwise, with his size and strength, if he were to claw at the evolving Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen would most likely die.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, you have to endure it. All the best …" When the Fengsha Sword and Golden Roc saw Xiao Chen and the Lion King in so much pain, they were extremely worried. They were constantly cheering and praying for the two of them.
Another four hours had passed, and Xiao Chen's body was no longer covered in sweat, only blood. At this moment, he looked like a man drenched in blood, which was too horrible to look at.
Eight hours was neither long nor short, but it had tortured the strong-willed Xiao Chen to the point that he no longer looked human.
Even though his body was in extreme pain and his consciousness was going crazy, Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and did not faint. This was because he knew that once he fainted, all the effort he had put in for the past eight hours would be for naught. The eight hours of pain would have been in vain.
Persevere, endure, persevere, endure …
"Ah! Ah … "
Xiao Chen's throat had turned hoarse after shouting for two hours. His originally high-pitched and sharp voice had turned hoarse and unpleasant like a drake's quack.
His hoarse voice was a small matter, but his internal injuries were more serious. The worsening internal injuries were gradually eroding Xiao Chen's life.
After eight hours, the medicinal efficacy of the two Divine Elixir Pills in Xiao Chen's body was almost depleted. There was only a small amount of medicinal efficacy left. However, the Desolate Energy essence transformed from the Grade 8 desolate beast's inner core was still rampaging through every part of Xiao Chen's body. The berserk factor and massive amounts of energy were naturally destroying Xiao Chen's body.
The Grade 8 desolate beast's inner core had been completely refined, and the mixed supplementary medicinal liquid had been depleted. Now, Xiao Chen's body contained a massive amount of Desolate Energy essence. It was almost bursting through Xiao Chen's blood vessels, meridians, dantian, and organs. Every part of his body was riddled with injuries.
"Am I about to die?"
