Thump!
The twelfth drumbeat sounded instantly.
In an instant, Ye Xuan felt immense pressure.
For a moment, he felt as if he were being crushed by a sacred mountain. His bones cracked and shattered, and his legs buckled, almost causing him to fall.
With a soft "pfft".
Ye Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale.
That pressure was truly terrifying.
He was unequivocal; this pressure had the power to destroy him.
At this point, Ye Xuan could no longer even strike the thirteenth time.
If he cannot break through the Wilds Body Refining Technique, he will probably be crippled in this twelfth strike.
" Wilds Body Refining Technique, activate it!"
Ye Xuan endured the stinging pain all over his body, trying his best to stay awake, and began to frantically circulate the Wilds Body Refining Technique.
The pressure was immense, like a mountain, relentlessly destroying his bones.
The Wilds Body Refining Technique was rapidly repairing his bones.
Under this cycle of destruction and repair, his bones first shattered and then reformed, causing him excruciating pain.
Ye Xuan no longer had any other thoughts and devoted himself entirely to cultivation.
At this point, he could not afford to be distracted, nor did he dare to be.
If his repair speed can't keep up with his destruction speed, then he's doomed.
"Such incredible willpower, that guy actually survived?"
"Who knows? This guy seems to be practicing body tempering. That's insane!"
The prodigies of the Profound Void Realm were also deeply shocked by this scene.
However, since they weren't there, they weren't entirely clear on what Ye Xuan actually experienced.
Thus, Ye Xuan was in extreme pain, and his face became completely contorted with rage.
He didn't know how much time had passed when he suddenly felt a sense of relief throughout his body, and then he instantly opened his eyes.
" The Wilds Body Refining Technique has finally broken through to the fifty-eighth level."
Ye Xuan was overjoyed and frantically activated the Wilds Body Refining Technique.
Under this process, his bones began to repair themselves at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same moment, a voice filled with ancient vicissitudes entered his ears.
Congratulations, you've passed level twelve.
As the sound faded, the twelve golden rays of light instantly surged into Ye Xuan's body.
Ye Xuan felt an immense surge of energy approaching, and was instantly overjoyed.
At this moment, when he needed energy the most, the golden light arrived just in time.
Ye Xuan was overjoyed and wasted no time, quickly absorbing and cultivating the knowledge.
Time passed.
It's unclear how much time passed, but after Ye Xuan absorbed the twelve streams of profound light, his cultivation level soared, and he unknowingly reached the peak of the Fourth Layer Saint Realm.
His physical body was several times stronger than before.
Even the fourth shackle seemed to show signs of cracking.
"What a wonderful place! Shall we continue drumming?"
Ye Xuan opened his eyes and looked up ahead.
However, to his astonishment, the bells and drums before him had vanished.
Only one staircase remained.
"What, they're not letting me knock anymore?"
Ye Xuan was a little annoyed. Those were valuable items, and they wouldn't even give them to him. How stingy!
Left with no other choice, Ye Xuan could only lift his foot and ascend the golden steps to the thirteenth level.
