Rus.h.!.+ The First level Underground Energy h.e.l.l
As Ye Lingyue thought the torture was finally came to an end, a familiar burst of burning sensation brought by the Ninth Realm Reincarnation Dan pill struck her again .
d.a.m.n! Ye Lingyue instantly realized that this torturous sharp s.h.i.+ft between heat and cold, this extreme feeling alternation of being scorched alive and being frozen to death was exactly the efficacy of the Ninth Realm Reincarnation Dan pill .
A dreadful s.h.i.+ft between heat and cold was one round, which would last for a whole day .
Which meant, to totally absorb the pill, Ye Lingyue had to suffer the inhuman trial at least nine times .
An ordinary people would rather wield a knife to commit suicide than endure the extreme torture .
However, Ye Lingyue was anything but ordinary . If there was any excellence about Ye Lingyue, her willpower deserved the credit . Under extreme physical pain, the thought of taking her own life would be suppressed by herself promptly every time it occurred .
She was determined to leave the Cave No . 1 and break through the First Grade Heaven and Earth Tribulation .
This strong and never-die-out faith had become a powerful mental force and the last drive that push Ye Lingyue forward .
Like a dead dog, Ye Lingyue collapsed to the ground .
She even lost the strength to drink and eat .
“Squeak~” Little Squeak squatting beside Ye Lingyue, watched her boss with watery eyes .
Then, it put a red fruit into her boss's mouth .
After a few random bites, Ye Lingyue felt alive again with sweet juice reaching her throat .
One day, two days . . . This state lasted for nine days .
On the ninth day, the feeling of pain in living death completely disappeared .
After struggling for a moment, she rose up . When she checked her Chaos Core, even her own eyes could not believe what she had seen .
Her Core was twice as big as before since it grew from the size of a cat's eye to the size of a fist .
When she practiced her Qi, the Yuan energy, like the flowing water, saturated her entire being, making her tendons and muscles immediately stretched a lot .
“Little Boundless Finger, breaks rock and frightens the heaven!”
Ye Lingyue jumped into the air with her fingertips e.j.a.c.u.l.a.t.i.n.g. countless whirlwinds . The piercing whirlwinds chopped down and the stone bed blown to powder in a blink of eye .
The same martial styles were at least two or three times more powerful than before .
She had now reached the peak of the late-stage Yuan Dan Realm with only one last step cross the threshold to break through the Reincarnation Realm . It was also time to enter the Chaos Heaven and Earth Matrix .
Striding toward the Matrix, Ye Lingyue’s eyes twinkled with determination .
Twenty-one days before the imperial compet.i.tion in Da Xia began, Ye Lingyue made her first attempt to crash into the Heaven and Earth Tribulation .
Before injecting her own Yuan energy into the Chaos Heaven and Earth Matrix, she took a glance at the Little Squeak aside watching the fun . With a quick grasp, the little thing was in her hands before it was able to escape .
Little Squeak was forced to be taken into the Chaos Heaven and Earth Matrix before it could resist .
Like gus.h.i.+ng streams, the Yuan energy in Ye Lingyue’s palm poured into the Chaos Heaven and Earth Matrix .
The ancient array, which covered with dust for hundreds of years, was awakened by Yuan energy at that moment .
The once dull red colored inscriptions in the array changed into fresh red . The Chaos Heaven and Earth Matrix emitted a squeaking sound, like an old stone mill obsoleted for centuries was put in use again .
As the Chaos Heaven and Earth Matrix awakened, Ye Lingyue together with Little Squeak disappeared in the array .
Both time and s.p.a.ce s.h.i.+fted once they stepped on the Matrix . Now the first level of the Seventy-two Levels Underground Energy h.e.l.l was close at the hand of Ye Lingyue and Little Squeak .
Above their heads was a cloudy gray sky, with thick haze blocking the skylight .
There was not a trace of green here, nor was there a living life . It was lifeless .
Not far away, on the castle built of skeletons, floating deep blue elf fire . Waves of sorrowful voices came through from the skeleton castle .
The river around the castle was flowing like blood with bones floating on it . The foul smell made Ye Lingyue felt her stomach was churning .
“Human, the smell of human . ”
Several groups of black Murder Souls quickly rushed over to Ye Lingyue after feeling her smell .
They were different from the ones encountered by Ye Lingyue earlier since they lurked in the first level Underground Energy h.e.l.l and originated from ancient times . After tens of millions of years of cultivation, they had evolved the shape of ghost .
These souls had developed the consciousness of low-level beasts . They could even transform into the shape of a human face, with deep blue light flas.h.i.+ng in their hollow eyes .
The first level Underground Energy h.e.l.l had deserted for many years .
A living person in here was equal to a splendid feast .
‘We would have a good meal before other Murder Souls were aware of there were human beings . ’
They turned into dark sinister wind, trying to tear Ye Lingyue and Little Squeak apart .
At this moment, many blasts of Yuan energy abruptly burst .
Boundless divine power seemed hidden in the Yuan energy .
With a roar of boom, Little Squeak, the spirit beast like a little hill rushed out of the fog of Murder Souls .
The terrible force of Little Squeak that originated from time immemorial smashed several groups of Murder Souls with just one cleave .
The rest of the Murder Souls was frightened out of their wits, and madly fled to the skeleton castle behind .
“Pathetic creatures!” A figure stepped forward .
A black wind sprang out of the Black Cauldron in the person's hands, and swallowed all the rest of the Murder Souls into the Cauldron as soon as it saw their appearance .
Boom —
A flash of lightning resembled purple dragon shot across the gray sky, and landed on and then exploded with a bang above the skeleton castle .
“How ignorant your human beings are to break through the first level Underground Energy h.e.l.l . ”
Over the castle, a dense huge shadow appeared .
The huge shadow, shaped like a crocodile crawling on the ground, was at least ten meters long, with green eyes and scarlet tongue .
Death, darkness, the first level Underground Energy h.e.l.l seemed to be boiling up .
The figure turned out to be the lord of the first level Underground Energy h.e.l.l — Murder Soul of Crocodile, with the innate ability to trigger lightning and thunder .
With a whoosh, the long tail of the Murder Soul of Crocodile turned into a long shadow, rising into the sky . It transformed into a purple lightning and chopped towards Ye Lingyue floating in mid-air .
When they were almost split by the purple lightning, Little Squeak who had been sitting beside rose up into the air . Ye Lingyue narrowed her eyes and jumped onto the Little Squeak’s back .
Having experienced the second-time flesh strengthening of lighting globe in the Cave No . 2, Little Squeak increased its agility, and it was even faster than the purple lightning .
At this point, nine Soul Reaping Chains fell from the sky .
The finger shadows shot down all over the sky .
The arm-sized Soul Reaping Chains tied up the Murder Soul of Crocodile, causing it to give out a loud roar with numerous murder souls burst out of its body .
The shadows of the Little Boundless Finger, which was able to break rocks and frighten the heaven, fell like squally showers .
Countless Murder Souls rushed up to rescue their own lord, but before they could come close, they were blown to pieces . The first level Underground Energy h.e.l.l suddenly covered with remains and blood .
The skeleton castle collapsed, and the Murder Soul of Crocodile let out a cry of sadness with its huge shadow broken open .
“Awesome!” Above the sky, the jade-skinned and black-haired Ye Lingyue let out a long whistle . After the fierce battle, her eyes seemed beaming with the lights of North Stars, s.h.i.+ning brightly .
