ground. His face was completely black and his body was stiff. His hair was disheveled and there was a layer of ice crystals on his hair. Blood was pouring out of his nostrils and ears.
Seeing this scene, they found it hard to imagine what Shen Tu Nantian had experienced in the door of light.
Those followers were momentarily at a loss at what to do. Shen Tu Nantian rolled his body as he sprawled on the ground and began retching.
However, after retching for a long time, nothing came out.
The few followers were watching on dumbfoundedly. They did not speak a word. Shen Tu Nantian’s present appearance was too different from his glorious return in their imaginations. He was even inferior to Gongsun Hong. Even that rascal Yi Yun, he may not have lasted very long, but when he was ejected from the door of light, he still looked very decent.
“Big brother Nantian, are you alright?”
A lackey quickly took out a pill from his interspatial ring, hoping to feed it to Shen Tu Nantian.
This lackey happened to be the Shen Tu youth who was constantly thinking of killing Yi Yun when he was grouped together with him in the first trial.
He was most attentive to Shen Tu Nantian. He was absolutely obedient.
However, when Shen Tu Nantian saw the Shen Tu youth hand over a pill to him, his eyes immediately turned red.
Seven Noxious Divine Yin Pill!
In the second trial, he was eventually captured by Yi Yun, and had then been fed more than ten Seven Noxious Divine Yin Pills!
That horrible experience had assaulted Shen Tu Nantian’s vision, making him still immersed in his mental demons. His mind was still not clear.
The present Shen Tu Nantian was very close to suffering a cultivation deviation.
Want to feed me a pill again!?
Shen Tu Nantian suddenly roared and punched the Shen Tu youth in his abdomen. With a terrible cry, the Shen Tu youth spat out a mouthful of blood as he flew out like a kite with a broken thread.
However, after Shen Tu Nantian made his attack, a ray of light shot down from the Great Empress mystic realm. This ray of light enveloped Shen Tu Nantian’s body completely, restricting his entire body.
This was a result from the mystic realm’s rules. No one was to attack another, or else they would be restrained and temporarily have their strength constrained.
In fact, already when Shen Tu Nantian was punching out, his strength had been quickly constrained. If not, with his strength, the 16+ year-old youth would have been killed by Shen Tu Nantian’s single punch.
“Ah!”
With his entire body restrained, that ray of light tightened Shen Tu Nantian’s flesh. With a deep snort, Shen Tu Nantian crashed to the ground.
The surrounding lackeys were stunned. They never expected to see such a scene.
They quickly backed away, keeping their distance away from Shen Tu Nantian. They allowed Shen Tu Nantian to struggle under the punishment for violating the mystic realm’s rules.
Only after a while did Shen Tu Nantian slowly regain clarity of his surroundings.
He realized that he had returned to the black stoned square.
Shen Tu Nantian had a solid foundation. However, in the second trial, his soul had received a backlash due to his mental demons, due to them being too strong. He was unable to extricate himself from it, but once he came out of the illusion realm, he quickly regained control of himself.
All the experiences he had, was just a test…
Thankfully it was just a test.
Shen Tu Nantian heaved a sigh of relief. His forehead and back were dripping with cold sweat.
In the illusion realm, the experiences he suffered seemed extremely real. It was just like the real thing. He had been inhumanely tortured again and again. Whatever he feared the most would happen even more often.
Seeing that Shen Tu Nantian had returned to normal, the surrounding lackeys dared to come forward, “Big brother Nantian, are you alright…?”
“Big brother Nantian, you managed to last the second longest amongst everyone. It’s so amazing!”
He lasted long?
It was indeed very long. Nearing the end, he had been chained up by Yi Yun, and then started a long period of devastation and torture.
Just thinking about it almost made Shen Tu Nantian go crazy.
After he was fed more than ten Seven Noxious Divine Yin Pills, his Dantian was destroyed. Then, all of his meridians were smashed to pieces and his flesh was then carved up. Finally, the eggs of heart dismembering worms were sprinkled into his wounds, as he underwent the torture of having his heart dismembered.
Finally, he was castrated by Yi Yun.
He suffered so much torture before, in the end, he died unwillingly.
And when he died, he was finally ejected out of the illusion realm. And that was the end of his second trial.
To Shen Tu Nantian, everything that happened in the mental demon realm was absolutely real. Such torture could push a person past the brink of mental collapse if his cultivation was lacking.
