Chapter 455: Refining The Souls (2/2)

The 26th 700-year beast soul was next. He began to challenge his own limit and force himself into the corner. This was the only way to find out his true potential.

This required a great price. It felt as if ants and poisonous insects were biting his body. This level of pain could render someone unconscious.

“Boom!” Success came at last.

Fatigue seemed to be disappearing as he began the next one.

It was even more painful this time as if he was surrounded by two spikey walls closing in on him.

“Boom!” Blood oozed out from his pores. His flesh became red like steel; the souls howling inside nearly ruptured his eardrums.

In the end, he still made it through and fused the 27th 700-year soul into his body.

It was as if he had just fought one hundred battle. Just lifting a finger resulted in a mangling pain throughout his body.

Just refining ten beast souls was already amazing enough for other historical geniuses but Feiyun had just finished 9,927th souls. He was turning his body into a battlefield; they were waging war inside.

Withstanding their power was unbearable and could turn a Heaven’s Mandate cultivator into a fool.

Nevertheless, Feiyun still didn’t give up. He felt that he hasn’t stimulated his real potential just yet.

He put four pieces of golden ginseng into his mouth. Its medicinal power seeped into his body and cured his wounds at a quick rate.

“Next, the 28th!” He took out a 700-year Hornet Python and got started again.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!” Rambunctious explosions resounded in his ears, causing him to tremble.

The recovered wounds broke again for the second time with more blood oozing from his pores. His clothes were stained red now.

“29th!” He gritted his teeth and did it again. The fleshy bits inside his blood came out of the wounds and fell onto the ground.

“30th…” He was losing control of his thoughts; his body no longer obeyed. His blood flow was a surging river damaging his vessels.

“31st…” He had lost sensation of his body; his willpower alone forced himself to refine more souls. The rejection power within was beyond his control.

“Boom!” This soul issued a miserable scream and exploded into a fog. Feiyun couldn’t handle this pain and lost consciousness.

In the end, he couldn’t refine the 31st soul into his body.

9,930 souls; this was his limit unless his cultivation went up again.

Once he woke up, the pain didn’t subside. Breathing was painful since his inner organs were damaged. He struggled to get up and got into the meditation pose for recovery.

He placed another golden ginseng into his mouth. This medicine calmed the rejecting force and moved it into the dantian while healing his wounds.

“Still can’t finish the Myriad Beasts Physique but this is not bad. Just physical power alone went up around fifty percent.”

Once Feiyun almost became fully healed, it was quite late in the day. He took a bath and changed his outfit. Just his aura alone now could suppress all the low-level beasts on the ground.

“Tomorrow is the examination day, I have to see the Divine King tonight at his place.”

After saying goodbye to Su Yun, he left Heart Reached Villa. Attendant Gui was waiting outside in an imperial carriage. Feiyun got inside and headed for the king’s mansion.

Feiyun was feeling a bit down. The Divine King was a top character in the capital with eyes and ears everywhere. ‘Does he know about the ridiculous matter between me and Ji Lingxuan?’

‘She is a Divine Consort while he is part of the royal family. What would he do if he found out?’

Feiyun contemplated along the way, thinking about all kind of ways to deal with it.
