This time, there were no shackles on Jiang Li’s interface.
Instead, there was an additional status called [Natural Disaster Yin Fire Burning Body] (− +).
A huge hole suddenly appeared at the bottom of the pagoda below the flesh cocoon.
A ball of lead-gray flames emerged and darted up, touching the flesh cocoon.
The legendary Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda only blocked the Yin Fire for a moment before it was defeated.
No matter how hard the shell of this flesh cocoon was, how could it compare to the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda?
In just a moment, his outer appearance was burned through. The Yin Fire that even True Immortals feared and could only avoid had already surged into the flesh cocoon and burned the true body of the Human Emperor’s successor.
He was about to complete his breakthrough, but this thing attacked him ruthlessly.
Jiang Li had finally experienced what it meant to be in a living hell.
He was directly burned by the terrifying flames until his consciousness dissipated.
The four and a half seconds of pressing the status ended in failure.
Under the flames, he could not focus his mind to last for five long seconds.
This was just like when one was thrown into the incinerator and had to smile for five seconds before opening the door. It was not as simple as one imagined.
The Human Emperor’s successor directly tore apart the flesh cocoon and fell out. He rolled on the ground in pain.
There were still a few wisps of chaotic qi that had not completely fused with his body. After they were exposed to the air, they dissipated with the wind.
However, Jiang Li did not have the time to care about that now.
On the surface, there were no flames on his body, only pitch-black patches on both sides of his feet.
However, he was really enduring the most terrifying pain since he started cultivating.
The Yin Fire was really too sinister. It really burned his entire body without mercy.
The flames on the surface of his body were not obvious, but in fact, the flames had already burned from the bottom of his feet to the top of his brows.
His internal organs were turned to ash, and his limbs were all rotten. It almost burned his perfect Dao Body into a Ghost Rider.
After the gray flames wreaked havoc in his body, they came out from the top of his head and pounced on the three lotus flowers floating above his head.
Ancestor Bodhi had once said that once one was tainted by this fire, a thousand years of bitter cultivation would be wasted.
This flame burned the Dao Body and cultivation.
A lotus flower with 1,749 petals began to fall apart when burned by the Yin Fire.
Huge petals withered, wanting to burn these peerless three flowers into nothingness.
However, before it could finish burning, the three lotus flowers that were already the size of a basin returned to their original state. They floated there as if nothing had happened.
As the Yin flames continued to burn, the three flowers above his head wanted to completely collapse every time, but they could always recover to their original state.
Jiang Li, who was lying on the ground in extreme pain, only barely recovered after a long time.
With a thought, he absorbed strength from the three flowers above.
The tattered Dao Body immediately grew back to its original state.
After all, the three flowers above his head had condensed his three treasures’ essence. As long as the three flowers were not extinguished, no matter how serious his body’s injuries were, the losses were actually nothing.
However, when his internal organs, limbs, and meridians recovered, a purple-gold light emitted from his body and blossomed everywhere.
After recovering from his original pain, Jiang Li felt his body spontaneously float up, and he felt as if he was floating like an immortal that could ascend to the heavens at any moment.
His Dao Body had actually broken through again, successfully surpassing the limit of the Earth Immortal Body.
“This time, can it be considered a blessing in disguise?”
Jiang Li, who sat up from the ground, had a strange expression.
Previously, Jiang Li was still vexed until the last moment when he was still in the flesh cocoon.
The things he threw into his Dao Body were all rare treasures in the world, and the Dao Body he forged was extremely powerful.
However, in the two cocoons, he could not completely shed his original mortal body.
This caused his Dao Body to be stuck at the upper limit of the Earth Immortal Body, unable to advance further.
He also knew that this was probably the upper limit of the Earth Immortal realm.
He had originally wanted to give up and temporarily stop. In the future, he would first gather the five qi in his chest and wait until he truly broke through to become an immortal before transforming his Immortal Body.
He did not expect that the Yin fire that suddenly appeared would burn away his mortal body that he had yet to shed. The newly grown body already belonged to the Connate Chaos, and it allowed him to successfully take that step.
Now, when the three flowers formed and the spiritual essence entered his body, he would succeed.
Looking at the three flowers above his head, they seemed to be quite beautiful while burning.
He was not wrong. Using the Merit Lotus Flowers as the core to break through the Three Flowers Gathering realm was indeed effective.
Even the Yin fire that could burn a Heaven Immortal to ashes could not do anything to him.
The gray flames made the Nine-Headed Snake Ghost Lantern Cold Flame a little excited.
It circled around the excited Yin Fire, wanting to bite off a piece to taste it.
Jiang Li decided to keep it for the Yin Fire to burn for a while. In any case, he would not lose anything.
As he burned, Jiang Li made a new discovery.
“Eh, the limit of the last half of the lotus flower seems to have loosened!”
“Disaster and fortune are correlated. Isn’t this Yin Fire really a natural disaster bestowed by the heavens?”
Suddenly, under the burning of the Yin Fire, the three flowers on top of Jiang Li’s head that were constantly dissipating actually had the chance to take the last half step forward after the trial.
He had deep doubts about what this Yin Fire was here for.
Jiang Li hurriedly sat down cross-legged again and continuously poured his essence, qi, and spirit into the lotus flower.
With the help of the Yin Fire of Calamity, the last lotus flower finally slowly formed.
After the lotus flower was completed, it flickered with spiritual light. Even the Yin fire did not burn it anymore.
The gray flames were like green leaves beside the three flowers.
The three flowers above slowly landed on Jiang Li’s Dao Body, and the three treasures returned to their positions!
An extremely terrifying energy immediately surged from his body, and the aura on his body shot into the clouds like a rocket.
Under his aura, a large number of cracks immediately appeared on the already dilapidated Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda that had already been ravaged by the Yin Fire. After enduring for a few breaths of time, it finally swelled up from the inside and shattered.
Three figures were flung out at the same time.
They were the unorthodox trio who had come here with Jiang Li.
They fell into the Pitfall Mountain, looking dispirited and dispirited. They were in a daze for a long time before recovering.
There was indeed something wrong with the steps. As they kept climbing up the step, it was always neither up nor down. It had already been a hundred days and they had already climbed up a ladder to the sky.
They could not reach the top of the seven-story pagoda.
On the other hand, their Essence Souls and spiritual qi were continuously consumed. If Jiang Li did not break through the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, they would probably die of exhaustion inside.
“What’s wrong with us?”
“Wait! That’s… Fellow Daoist Nine Nether!”
Jiang Li, who was floating in the air cross-legged, had strange lights circulating on his body. It was as if he was born from Primordial Chaos, and all kinds of phenomena appeared around his body.
With a thought, his Yin qi became dense, with a thought, he became an Asura in the Blood Sea, and with a thought, he became an Immortal Spirit of the Nine Heavens!
Just looking at that figure made tears flow from their eyes!
A moment later, Jiang Li suddenly opened his eyes, raised his head, and roared.
For a time, the sky shook.
Deep underground where the Pitfall Mountain was, the thick black sea on the ground shook violently under this roar.
Then, the vast ground at the bottom of the sea cracked and was pushed up by this surging qi.
The seawater that was a million feet thick did not have the chance to flow away before it was sent flying and ruthlessly smashed into the distant sea.
The seawater that splattered when it landed flew tens of thousands of kilometers away.
After the seawater completely slid down, this would probably become a new land and give birth to some unique creatures.
For the first time, sunlight shone on the Pitfall Mountain that was buried deep underground.
Jiang Li’s long roar blew away a large piece of underwater land.
A terrifying conical depression formed under the sea.
Just waiting for the seawater to fill up this place would probably take half a month.
The might of a long roar was actually so terrifying.
Would an immortal really have such power?
