Chapter 243 – Black Infernal Refining
The Black Infernal Tower is located in the wilderness where the raging flames have scorched the surrounding rocks a fiery red color.
Cang Ming, Mu Ye, and Hua Huo observed the tower and looked at each other. They all had an unyielding expression on their faces. Since they were the direct disciples of their respective families, they had all heard of the anatta mental state before. Thus, they decided that there wouldn’t be too much risk in attempting this trial.
*Woosh!* *Woosh!* *Woosh!*
Three figures separated themselves from the rest of the crowd and flew towards the Black Infernal Tower.
Following in their steps, the experts from the other various families also flew towards the tower.
The closer they got to the tower, the hotter it became, until the heat was simply unbearable. The energy from the Black Flames directly penetrated their soul realms and negated their cultivations. Those with weaker souls, even if they are Demigod rank, were unable to withstand it.
Some realised that the black flames weren’t something they could withstand and quickly fell back.
However, there were those who forcefully endured and charged into the black flames. These people instantly issued miserable shrieks as their bodies instantly bursted into dark flames.
Nie Li couldn’t help but sigh as he watched. These experts’ souls just weren’t tough enough. Forcing their way into the Black Infernal Tower would only damages their souls and leaves them permanently crippled.
“Let’s go.” Nie Li said with a glance over his party.
Nie Li and his group began moving towards the Black Infernal Tower.
Cang Ming, Mu Ye, and Hua Huo were the first to enter the Black Infernal Tower, with the rest following closely behind. There were roughly five to six hundred people who couldn’t withstand the black flames and retreated.
As Nie Li’s party approached the Black Infernal Tower, they felt a searing wind blowing towards them. This breeze directly impacted their soul realms.
Even Nie Li felt his soul burning. He turned to his friends and asked, “How are you guys doing?”
Ye Ziyun shook her head and answered, “I’m fine!”
Xiao Ning’er, who was next to her, replied, “Me too!”
The rest responded the same.
Although the black flames burned strongly, Nie Li and company have been practising extremely advanced cultivation techniques. Therefore, in terms of soul strength, each of them were one in ten thousand talents. Therefore, despite the fact that they were surrounded by the intimidating black flames, they were still able to endure, unlike those who had previously set their soul realms ablaze.
The party gradually drew nearer to the towering Black Infernal Tower. This structure was divided into a total of seven floors. The higher the floor, the darker the flames would become. The flames on the first floor still carried highlights of vivid scarlet, but the flames of the top floor would be pitch black, like ink.
The purity of the flames at the highest floor shocked even Nie Li. He didn’t know who had left those black flames behind in this Black Infernal Tower; however, he or she was definitely very powerful.
In the face of the brewing heatwaves, the group entered the Black Infernal Tower.
On the first floor of the Black Infernal Tower, there were many experts from various races sitting crossed-legged. These experts had entered the first floor and felt that their soul realms were on the verge of igniting; therefore, they didn’t dare to proceed any further and immediately sat down on the floor to cultivate.
However, there were also people who had continued on to the second floor.
Suddenly, Duan Jian’s body burst into black flames.
