Chapter 270 – Courting Death! (1/2)
Even though it wasn’t his first time, Yang Ye was able to sense that the temperature within the bath barrel couldn’t be compared to the past at all!
“Your physical body has arrived at a certain level, so it’s utterly impossible to improve it effectively with just the medicinal herbs that you gathered. Only by greatly stimulating your body with the Nether Ghostflames and supplementing it with the medicinal herbs would your physical body be able to obtain an obvious increase. Moreover, if you want to subdue the Nether Ghostflames, then the first step is to endure its heat!” said Elder Mu.
Yang Ye smiled bitterly. No wonder there are practically no body refiners in the entire southern territory now. There are probably very few people in the world that are able to endure the process of body refinement!Yang Ye took a deep breath, stopped hesitating, and then jumped into the barrel! So long as he was able to improve his strength, then what was a little bit of pain?
Bang!
As soon as he entered it, the clothes Yang Ye wore had transformed into ash. At the same time, the skin throughout his body instantly turned crimson red as if it had been cooked. Moreover, his veins had started to bulge up all over his face and neck, causing his appearance to seem especially terrifying!
Pain! Extreme pain! Pain that struck deep into the bones! This was what Yang Ye felt at this moment. Even though he was mentally prepared, he still couldn’t help but almost be unable to restrain himself from leaping out from the bath barrel when he felt the terrifying temperature of the Nether Ghostflames. However, fortunately, he was able to endure it in the end!
There was a price to pay if one wanted to become strong.
Scarlet red blistered started to gradually appear on Yang Ye’s skin, and the blisters were around the size of a thumb. These blisters densely covered his entire body…. It could be said that Yang Ye’s current appearance was something that could even terrify a demon!
Elder Mu nodded lightly when he saw these blisters, and then he tossed the spirit herbs Yang Ye gathered into the bath barrel, causing some green dots to gradually appear within the water. Under Elder Mu’s control, those green dots surged towards Yang Ye!
The blisters on his body popped apart when these green dots came into contact with Yang Ye’s skin….
Pain! Pain that was even greater than before! Yang Ye almost let out a shrill cry! Fortunately, right at this moment, the golden profound energy within his body had started to flow slowly, and it flowed slowly through the meridians in his entire body. With the incessant recovery provided by the golden profound energy, Yang Ye instantly felt much better.
Time pa.s.sed slowly. Ten days later, Yang Ye had gotten completely accustomed to the temperature of the Nether Ghostflames. Of course, this temperature was its temperature while it was under Elder Mu’s control, and if it was the Nether Ghostflame’s true temperature, then not to mention Yang Ye’s current physical body, even the physical body of an Exalt Rank Darkbeast would probably be instantly transformed into nothingness!
Elder Mu who stood by the bath barrel suddenly gestured with his right hand, and the ghastly white ocean of flames within the bath barrel had instantly converged into a small clump of flames that appeared on his palm. A wisp of a complicated expression flashed in Elder Mu’s eyes as he gazed at the tiny clump of flames on his palm. He said, “I obtained this Nether Ghostflame by chance at the Ghost Territory. I originally had no intention to subdue it because while it possessed intelligence of its own, it was merely at a juvenile stage. Nether Ghostflame at the juvenile stage is truly useless to me. But it was too much of a waste to just leave it there. However, I never expected that it would still be at the juvenile stage after being by my side for over 1,000 years. Now, you’re going to benefit from it instead!”
Yang Ye said with astonishment when he heard this, “Elder Mu, this Nether Ghostflame is merely at the juvenile stage?”
Elder Mu nodded and said, “It was already mature, then I wouldn’t give it to you. Of course, if it has already matured, then it would be utterly impossible to subdue it with your strength. Alright, you’ve gotten used to its temperature, so open your mouth and allow it to enter your Dantian!”
“Enter my Dantian?” Yang Ye was shocked and said, “Elder Mu, even though my body has gotten used to its temperature, the insides of my body are still comparatively weaker. If I allow it to enter my body, then I would probably be instantly incinerated into nothingness!”
“The treasures of the heavens and the earth contain terrifying energy within them, and just approaching them would be life-threatening to ordinary people. On the other hand, subduing them is extremely dangerous. Even though it’s dangerous, if you’re able to subdue it, then the a.s.sistance it provides you wouldn’t be inferior to your Sword Intent at all! Of course, if you’re afraid of danger, then just forget it!” Elder Mu spoke indifferently.
Yang Ye smiled bitterly, and then he said, “Elder Mu, let’s begin!” As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Ye had opened his mouth.
Elder Mu nodded lightly, and then he flicked his finger, causing the flame on his palm to instantly fly into Yang Ye’s throat. At the moment this happened, Yang Ye’s expression immediately became colorful.
One would definitely understand how Yang Ye felt right now if one had tried to drink boiling water.
No matter what, the pain from the outside of the body was impossible to be compared to the pain that came from within the body. Because all the organs and structures within the body were extremely weak and fragile. So, at this moment, Yang Ye’s expression had started to warp from the pain he experienced.
After the tongue of flames had entered Yang Ye’s body, it seemed like a playful child that ‘played’ over here for a moment and ‘stopped’ over there for a while. Everywhere it pa.s.sed was completely scorched black. However, fortunately, the golden profound energy within him was ceaselessly repairing his body, otherwise, Yang Ye would have probably taken his last breath by now….
In next to no time, it had arrived at Yang Ye’s Dantian. Yang Ye heaved a sigh of relief and was just about to utilize the method Elder Mu taught him to take control of the Nether Ghostflame when it suddenly transformed into a fiery ray of light that entered the tiny vortex!
