Chapter 32: Burning Bridges

The dantian qihai region is the core of a cultivator. However, to Lu Chen, when the fearsome black flames lodged itself firmly there ten years ago and destroyed his foundations and cursing him to great sufferings by the immolation of the black flames, it has become the origin of his agony.

Dantian -> Acupoint in the abdomen|Qihai -> Spirit sea

This is the first time he is taking the initiative to activate the spirit in his dantian. From another viewpoint, he is taking the initiative to activate the Curse of Black Flames.

As he expected, the moment he tries his luck, the tattered Five Element Divine Compa.s.s trembles as it gradually emerges and demon-like black flames come raging forth from every single crack and wound on the Five Element Divine Compa.s.s. It sounds like the silent but hideous sneer of the demons. In an instant, the black flames overwhelms his entire dantian qihai and gushes outwards from all directions.

Immolation of black flames!

Lu Chen howls from the excruciating pain. The black flames emerges from numerous sites on his skin. His blood and flesh trembles instinctively in fear and turn into scorched land in an instant.

However, this time, Lu Chen didn’t dive straight into the emerald water, which is his only salvation. Using unimaginable willpower, he forced himself to remain seated in his original spot. Bearing the overwhelming pain, he widen his eyes as he stares fixedly into the pool.

The water reflects his appearance.

It is as though he is a demon burning with black flames!

Black flames seems to be burning even within his both eyes!

Lu Chen groans deeply as his facial muscles distort. Suddenly, from his dantian qihai region, the ruinous Five Element Divine Compa.s.s seems to have been impelled by some power and starts to rotate.

With every slightest rotation, Lu Chen’s entire body seems to tremble a single time and like an enraged demon, the black flames would burst forth, gus.h.i.+ng with even greater might to consume the fallen apparition of the divine compa.s.s.

Everything seems as though it would be incinerated within the fearsome black flames, including his blood, flesh and soul.

The pool not too far away from him remains tranquil and peaceful. Yet, at the same time, it seems to be the greatest enticement in the entire world as it lies quietly before Lu Chen’s eyes.

Several times, Lu Chen’s body almost lunges forward uncontrollably, fervently wis.h.i.+ng to roll into the icy-cool water, just like in the past.

However, for some inconceivable reasons, he managed to withstand his compulsion.

He roars ferociously under the incineration of the terrifying black flames. At the moment, it seems as though there isn’t a single inch of undamaged skin on his entire body and even his face has warped in shape. However, in the midst of the black flames, there is still a ray of light. It might be faint, but it is still flickering.

The light originates from his dantian qihai region, from the incredibly tattered and charred Five Element Divine Compa.s.s which seems as though it is about to shatter into several pieces at any moment. However, at this very moment, the Five Element Divine Compa.s.s holds on exceptionally stubbornly. The faint ray of light still refuses to extinguish.
