Chapter 348 – Refining The Nascent Soul (2/2)

After spreading the abdomen apart, a yellow and black striped light shot out towards a certain direction. Lei Yu was still in a daze before hearing the Devil King cry out in his mind: “Quickly chase after it! It’s an item that’s required to open the second barrier!”

Hearing this, Lei Yu started rapidly chasing after it. With his lightning like speeds, catching up to the fleeing Nascent Soul was just too easy. Within a hundred meters, Lei Yu was able to immediately intercept it!

Lei Yu flipped his palm and the Nascent Soul had nowhere else to go and could only obediently allow itself to be caught.

“Use your own internal energy to seal it or else it might explode!” The Devil King’s advice was necessary because Lei Yu had already started to feel the infant body start to violently shake. Lei Yu activated his internal energy and a purple light shot out of his body and created a silkworm like cocoon barrier around the infant body. Only when it gradually stopped shaking did Lei Yu feel relief.

“So why would these things explode?” Lei Yu asked out of curiosity.

There was a slight hesitation upon hearing Lei Yu’s question but the Devil King still answered: “You don’t even know something like this? Every cultivator that has an infant body in them would always give their Nascent Souls a last command before they die. If you hadn’t stopped the Swordback Tiger’s Nascent Soul just in time, most likely the explosion would have devastated this entire region’s forest! As for you, the least you would suffer would be a serious injury!”

“So there’s something like this?” Lei Yu widened his eyes in disbelief. It was this time he recalled what happened at the Ceng Hong Villa with the Dragon-snake. It looks like the Dragon-snake had given its Nascent Soul one last command, so it’s no wonder he encountered the sudden explosion. Even though the force wasn’t that powerful, it was still enough to knock Lei Yu unconscious.

“Quickly take out the infant body of the White Scaled Giant Crocodile. After you refine it, it will help you recover your internal energy and also raise your cultivation a bit.” Advised the Devil King.

Lei Yu nodded. He first stored the yellow and black striped Nascent Soul of the Swordback Tiger before taking out the white infant body from his Universal Pouch. Lei Yu then closed his eyes and sat down cross legged while the white infant body floated in front of his chest. The white light gave off a soft allure but still contained an explosive power behind it.

Lei Yu enlarged his nostrils and sucked in a deep breath of air. He could suddenly smell something pungent and unpleasant that was difficult to endure. He didn’t know where the smell came from but immediately ceased doing that action.

Lei Yu controlled the energy inside his dantian and had a portion of it appear out of his body. Those strands of internal energy were in the outside world but still maintained a connection with Lei Yu. One could see those strands of internal energy begin wrapping around the infant body floating in front of Lei Yu. Right after that, more strands of energy started leaving his body and appearing in the outside world to wrap around its target. Towards the end, Lei Yu’s own purple internal energy had completely encompassed the infant body where no signs of the white Nascent Soul was seen anymore.

Suddenly, the white infant body brightened and light flared out through the tiny gaps of Lei Yu’s internal energy. It then started intertwining with Lei Yu’s energy and started climbing towards his body. Lei Yu started trembling as large pulses of energy entered into his body and started running rampant. But in an instant, a beam of cool white energy wrapped around them. After being moisturized by the cool energy, the rampant energy started becoming in sync with Lei Yu’s own internal energy and no longer ran rampant. It started circulating normally according to the paths of Lei Yu’s cultivation before ending in his dantian and merging together. The white cooling energy was none other than Xue Yu’s doing from the Spiritual Bracelet of Frost.

The moment the white infant body’s energy latched onto Lei Yu’s infant body, he started feeling intense pain on his right arm. The pain continued getting stronger causing Lei Yu to clench his teeth. If another person was in Lei Yu’s place or one that had less willpower, most likely they would have already lost consciousness. But ever since Lei Yu was young, his mind and willpower had surpassed most others. He had also experienced different types of pain throughout his life so this was something he could still handle. It’s just that the more he resisted, the more intense the pain become. One must wonder if he was to just faint, maybe he wouldn’t be tortured by this pain anymore.
