Chapter 940: Refusing to Leave!
After enduring the bone-chilling cold, Su Yi felt a refreshing coolness, akin to the relief of a breeze on a scorching summer day.
Under this stimulation, his entire body—from his limbs to his muscles and down to the smallest cells—expanded, greedily absorbing the icy cold energy.
“This seems beneficial!”
Su Yi realized that this frigid breath was mysterious. Though bone-chilling and initially resisted by his body, once absorbed, it brought significant benefits. It tempered his limbs, muscles, and bones, fortifying his physical body.
Recognizing these advantages, and recalling the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon’s assurance that this was both a test and an opportunity, Su Yi allowed the dense barrage of ice daggers to assault him within his controlled range.
These ice daggers and the accompanying icy breath were so lethal that not even a Yuan Void Realm cultivator would dare to endure them directly.
The daggers could effortlessly shred a Yuan Void Realm cultivator’s physical body to pieces. The icy breath contained within could freeze blood and solidify elemental energy, reducing organs, bones, and muscles to brittle fragments.
But Su Yi’s physical body had reached an extraordinary state of transformation.
Beneath his robust and tempered physique, his flesh endured the terrifying onslaught of ice blades and even reaped benefits from it.
Time seemed to move both quickly and agonizingly slowly as Su Yi advanced step by step toward the entrance at the center of the glacier. Gradually, the dreadful icy storm and razor-sharp ice blades faded away.
Without hesitation, Su Yi pushed forward, knowing this was a test he had to overcome.
“Whoosh…”
As Su Yi stepped through the sparkling entrance, an intense wave of heat struck him immediately. He found himself in a world that seemed to straddle ice and fire, with the bone-chilling cold behind him and blistering heat ahead.
Everything cold vanished as he crossed the threshold, replaced by a vast, blazing sea of fire.
The searing heat scorched everything in the void, leaving no trace of the cold behind.
Roaring flames, like enormous waves, surged toward Su Yi, engulfing him entirely.
The terrifying temperature was enough to reduce a Yuan Void Realm cultivator at the first level to ashes. The flames were so intense that even elemental energy offered no protection.
“Is this truly a world of ice and fire?”
As the flames consumed him, Su Yi remained unshaken. It wasn’t because the heat was less threatening than the cold. On the contrary, the flames were far more violent and destructive, radiating a terrifying aura of annihilation.
But Su Yi was accustomed to such fiery conditions. His cultivation of the Indestructible Vajra Body was closely connected to flames.
The scorching heat devoured him, and even with his current cultivation level, Su Yi felt his skin burning and his hair standing on end.
The raging flames, fierce and unyielding, sought to burn Su Yi’s flesh to ash.
Yet the result was unexpected. Flames capable of incinerating everything left only small cracks on Su Yi’s skin.
Within the cracks, a faint red light shimmered, preventing his body from breaking apart entirely.
“Ah…”
Covered in tiny cracks, Su Yi gritted his teeth, stifling muffled groans as sweat poured from his body.
Inside, a searing heat seemed to burn through his organs, bones, muscles, and every fiber of his being, threatening to obliterate everything.
Despite this, Su Yi endured, remaining just within the limits of his strength.
The destructive force of this heat was even more intense than the icy breath he had faced earlier. Yet, compared to the unbearable chill, Su Yi found himself slightly more at ease amidst the flames.
Under the destructive heat, Su Yi began to feel unexpected benefits once again.
Amid the destruction, the scorching energy carried a newfound strength that penetrated every part of his body—his limbs, bones, muscles, and internal organs. After the destruction came rebirth. A long-awaited, refreshing force surged forth from the final waves of the scorching energy, spreading throughout Su Yi’s body, nourishing everything, including his soul.
Within the rolling flames, a faint glimmer of light appeared ahead, hinting at an exit.
However, Su Yi did not rush forward. The benefits he felt after enduring the scorching heat brought a surprised smile to his tightly clenched face.
“If I temper the Indestructible Vajra Body with flames like these, the benefits would be unimaginable!” Su Yi murmured to himself.
While the underground fire he had used previously to cultivate the Indestructible Vajra Body had been terrifying, it was nowhere near as powerful as the flames he faced now.
Moreover, this flame was filled with profound benefits. Su Yi realized that if he tempered the Indestructible Vajra Body with it, it might elevate his cultivation to an entirely new level.
Without hesitation, Su Yi sat cross-legged on the ground, activated the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique, and began tempering the Indestructible Vajra Body.
“Whoosh…”
As Su Yi formed hand seals, the surrounding roaring flames were instantly drawn toward him. Waves of destructive fire surged into his body.
“Ah…”
Cracks rapidly spread across Su Yi’s skin, which resembled dry, parched earth in a prolonged drought. His body appeared as if it might crumble into pieces at any moment.
But upon closer inspection, it became evident that beneath the densely packed cracks, a glowing red radiance pulsed steadily—damaged, but not broken.
The scorching heat was followed by immense benefits. These benefits not only nourished Su Yi’s body and soul entirely but also seemed to amplify their effects in this dual environment of ice and fire. His qi became richer and more potent.
Strands of pure *qi continuously surged into Su Yi’s Void God Sea. Under the tempering of the searing heat, the qi became incomparably refined, causing Su Yi’s aura to rise steadily.
[*the circulating life force whose existence and properties are the basis of much Chinese philosophy and medicine.]
Unbeknownst to him, in another part of the mysterious space, the ancient dragon eyes of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon glimmered with a mix of shock and wonder.
“So many challengers have come before him, yet this is the first one who refuses to leave,” the dragon murmured, its gaze fixed on Su Yi. “This human boy… his aura feels strangely familiar.”
“Whoosh…”
Surrounded by raging flames, Su Yi appeared as though enveloped by a massive fireball in an endless sea of fire.
Strictly speaking, it wasn’t Su Yi who was engulfed by the flames. Instead, the flames themselves had been drawn to him, pulled in to aid the reforging of his Indestructible Vajra Body.
A strange red light shone from Su Yi’s body, surrounding him in a bright red and green glow. The light came out of his pores, sparkling brightly and shining beautifully.
The cracks on Su Yi’s skin disappeared completely.
The outer layer of his skin peeled off like old, dead skin, revealing a glowing, strong body underneath that was unharmed by the destructive flames around him.
