Pain that pierced deep into his bones!
Engulfed in Purple Flame from head to toe, Gu He was truly no different from meat being roasted over a fire.
Enduring the intense pain coursing through his body, Gu He sank his mind into his body.
Inside Gu He's body, the Purple Flame containing terrifying energy was rampaging wildly through every meridian.
Anything that stood in its way was incinerated into nothingness in an instant.
Under the searing heat, the once broad and resilient meridians had twisted into shapes like dried twisted dough, looking exceptionally strange and terrifying.
Naturally, with his meridians scorched and distorted to such an extent, the pain caused Gu He's body to spasm intermittently. Every muscle was taut, veins bulging and writhing like fat worms, while his pale face was utterly devoid of color.
Having come to such a colorful world at last, there's no mortgage, no car loan, and certainly no exorbitant bride price. All there is is a grand feast of cultivation!
Since I, Gu He, possess the system and have been blessed by heaven, I will surely stand above the Ninth Heavens and dwell at the edge of the clouds in the future!
If I can't even endure this little pain, how can I ever accomplish anything in the future?
Endless agony had overwhelmed Gu He's nerves, and his once handsome face had become incomparably savage.
Yet an exceptionally radiant smile bloomed at the corner of his lips.
When you treated pain as enjoyment, there was nothing in this world that could shake your will.
The Purple Flame raced madly through his meridians. In merely a few minutes, Gu He's body had almost been reduced to a complete wreck.
Scorching heat radiated outward, passing through his meridians and bones, causing tiny white blisters to emerge across the surface of Gu He's body. As the blisters burst, crimson flesh was exposed beneath them.
Tiny cracks spread through his flesh, eventually covering his arms and body. He looked like a shattered porcelain doll, an utterly terrifying sight.
Gu He paid no attention to the changes on his body. At this moment, he had no spare attention to concern himself with his miserable state.
He was concentrating completely on dealing with a wisp of Purple Flame that had entered his soul.
The intense pain erupting from the depths of his soul made Gu He's soul tremble violently several times. Cold sweat streamed down his forehead like water, rapidly soaking his clothes.
Taking several deep breaths in his heart, Gu He fumbled a bottle of Healing Medicine from his Storage Ring and sprayed it haphazardly over his wounds before once more focusing his mind on the Purple Flame within his body.
As time passed, the Purple Flame around Gu He's body grew increasingly intense, eventually forming what seemed like a purple barrier that enclosed him within.
The cyan barrier emitted scorching heat, flames churning violently across its surface and making it difficult for those outside to clearly see what was happening within.
Soon, three hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Within the Alchemy Room, the perfectly round flame barrier emitted a faint purple glow. The purple radiance on its surface flickered between light and dark, casting dim light onto the walls like rippling purple water.
Within the barrier, Gu He sat cross-legged on the ground. He seemed to be in an unconscious and mysterious state. His mind had also become greatly exhausted from its earlier struggle against the Nine Nether Flame, drifting hazily through his body and unable to gather itself.
While Gu He remained in this muddled, semi-conscious state, the Nine Nether Flame flowing slowly through his meridians suddenly began circulating along the paths of his meridians without anyone controlling it...
Perhaps because it had long been refined by Gu He, the Nine Nether Flame no longer released that terrifying heat. Instead, it became somewhat cool and gentle. As it flowed through his meridians, wisps of tiny purple liquid separated from it. Pressing against the walls of meridians that had been so badly damaged they had nearly lost their ability to contain battle qi, the liquid wriggled slightly before gradually merging into the four walls of the meridians.
As this purple liquid, flickering with faint purple flames, entered the meridians,
the meridians within Gu He's body, which had been twisted like dried twisted dough, slowly unfurled like blades of grass in a desert finding water.
Countless meridians within his body seemed to cry out in delight. The purple liquid left behind by the Nine Nether Flame was swiftly devoured at a terrifying rate by the meridians as they continuously expanded and contracted.
As the meridians greedily devoured it, their grayish-white color gradually faded, replaced by a vibrant purple.
The Nine Nether Flame flowed through one meridian after another. Wherever it passed, withered meridians regained their vitality, while cracked bones and burned muscles rapidly repaired themselves at an encouraging pace...
Moreover, the repaired meridians, bones, and the like were far tougher than before.
Clearly, although the Nine Nether Flame had caused them immense destruction, the compensation it offered made these vital organs feel that it had been worth the cost.
While the Nine Nether Flame repaired Gu He's body internally, the bloody cracks covering his outer body gradually fused together. Scabs rapidly formed and fell away without leaving a trace. The muscles beneath his skin were swiftly strengthened. Though he had not become as muscular as those muscle-bound men, when he bent and straightened his arms, explosive power faintly gathered within them.
Layer upon layer of dried skin rapidly peeled away from the surface of his body like a shedding snake. His newly formed skin looked as tender as a woman's, yet its defensive power and sensitivity to the energy of heaven and earth were more than several times greater than before.
At this moment, because Gu He was in that strange state, the vast, almost terrifying energy contained within the Nine Nether Flame was rapidly strengthening and repairing his ruined body. This was truly a stroke of fortune and a rare opportunity.
The repair and strengthening proceeded slowly. Once the Nine Nether Flame emerged from the final injured meridian, Gu He's severely damaged body had finally been restored to an almost perfect state. The combat power this body could now unleash was absolutely far greater than that of his previous body!
After completely repairing Gu He's body, the Nine Nether Flame immediately transformed into a streak of purple light and directly fled into the depths of Gu He's soul, disappearing from sight.
The instant the Nine Nether Flame entered Gu He's soul, his soul, which had been unconscious, suddenly trembled before completely awakening.
After his soul awakened, Gu He's mind instinctively swept rapidly through his body. Everything within him had been completely renewed, leaving him dazed for a moment.
But when his mind examined his soul and saw the wisp of purple light in its depths, he froze briefly before irrepressible ecstasy surged into his heart.
It had succeeded!
