Driven Mad: The Void Tyrant Physique
As Chen Jie gazed at the Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame and earth burning fiercely in the furnace, the scorching heat that burned his bones and soul assaulted his senses, making his expression even more solemn.
A hint of hesitation arose in his heart.
This kind of Body Tempering with Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame is practically self-torture; should I really be so radical?
His previous breakthrough using the high temperature of magma to temper his body was already an aggressive approach, an experience he had never had in his previous life;
Now, in order to further improve his strength, he wants to take it a step further and use the Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame to Body Tempering.
If this had happened in his previous life, let alone his own disbelief,
Even those in the Heavenly Artifact Realm who knew him would never believe that Chen Jie would imitate ascetic cultivators and use such a tragic method to improve his cultivation.
However, there are too many geniuses in the Azure Billows Realm, and everyone on the Combat Power Ranking is no less powerful than him in his previous life.
To this day, he can't even hold onto the top spot on the Void Return Realm Combat Power Ranking, and can only settle for third place, which greatly increases the pressure on him.
Under such circumstances, how could he possibly make a breakthrough step by step?
Only by borrowing this Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame to re-temper his physical body can he solidify his foundation and break through his cultivation level.
However, after a moment's hesitation, Chen Jie made up his mind to use the Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame to Body Tempering.
If we don't do this, it will only be more difficult to regain the top spot on the Combat Power Ranking in the future.
Moreover, tempering his body with Divergent Flame would help him initially cultivate the Void Tyrant Physique, at which point his combat power would undoubtedly reach its peak again.
Even those who have just entered the Artifact Cultivation System and are in the Early Body Integration Realm (Dao Integration Realm) have the confidence to compete for the top spot on the Dao Integration Realm Combat Power Ranking.
More importantly, he can also earn Energy Points by live-streaming the process of Body Tempering the Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame.
This kind of self-torture-style training makes for excellent live-streaming material.
It should be noted that the Azure Billows Realm has never had such a brutal Body Tempering method before. It is bound to generate a lot of buzz and attract countless system hosts to watch, at which time they can obtain Energy Points.
This would perfectly solve his predicament of losing the channel to earn Energy Points through the Dissemination System after the Fairness System covered the Azure Firmament Continent.
Having made up his mind, Chen Jie immediately started his live stream, writing the title as follows:
"I, Chen Jie, Body Tempering my body with the Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame! The most brutal Body Tempering method in the history of the Azure Billows Realm."
The live stream had barely started when millions of viewers flooded in, and the number of viewers skyrocketed, quickly surpassing 300 million.
Everyone gasped as they gazed at the Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame blazing in the furnace, and the screen instantly filled with comments:
"Holy crap! Chen Jie is really going to use the Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame to Body Tempering body? How excruciating must that be? Has he gone mad?!"
"Chen Jie is too aggressive! He must not be able to take the top spot on the Void Return Realm Combat Power Ranking, so he used this method to improve his strength. It's absolutely insane."
"No one in history has ever dared to do this! The slightest mistake would result in physical destruction and the annihilation of the soul. He's truly gone mad!"
"Whether he's crazy or not, I'm just curious if he dares to actually step into the Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame, and how long he can last?"
"That's right! He used to be so arrogant and domineering, but this time it'll be interesting to see him being burned by the Divergent Flame and suffering terribly."
Chen Jie glanced at the screen full of comments, and a slight twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Everyone thought he had gone mad. Even if he were in his past life and saw his current behavior, he would probably think he was insane.
But he knew perfectly well that although the Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame was dangerous Body Tempering, it was all within a controllable range and would never truly endanger his life.
It's nothing more than enduring excruciating pain.
However, after being tempered by magma, his pain tolerance threshold is now very high.
He cleared his throat and said in a loud voice, "Fellow Daoists, I am Chen Jie."
Today I will use the Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame to Body Tempering my body and enhance my cultivation.
This method is extremely dangerous; I humbly request that fellow Daoists Duoduo offer their support through donations!
After saying that, he gazed at the stove in front of him, took a deep breath, and jumped inside.
The Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame surged up instantly, completely enveloping his entire body.
"Aww!"
The moment he plunged into the furnace, a terrifying scream suddenly erupted.
An excruciating pain swept over him instantly, far surpassing even the effects of Body Tempering with magma. He had never experienced such soul-crushing agony before.
The body felt as if it were about to be charred at any moment; one could even smell a faint aroma of meat wafting through the air.
He never expected the Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame to be so domineering; even with his current physical strength, he would feel such pain.
He dared not delay for even a moment, and immediately activated the "Void Tyrant Physique Technique" to quickly repair his damaged body.
But the skin and flesh that had just healed were instantly burned again by the Divergent Flame. Repair, burn, repair again, and so on, in an endless cycle without a moment's rest.
The excruciating pain tore at his nerves again and again; he trembled all over, his teeth grinding to powder, and groans of agony escaped his lips uncontrollably.
"Ouch... it hurts! It hurts so much!"
At this moment, Chen Jie's live stream chat was flooded with comments, all kinds of messages scrolling rapidly:
"He's insane! Chen Jie is truly insane! He actually dared to jump into the furnace to Body Tempering with the Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame. Isn't he afraid of being burned alive if he's not careful?"
"Just watching him makes my skin crawl. And he has to endure the pain while simultaneously circulating his Cultivation Method to repair his body. His endurance is simply terrifying!"
"Madmen! Absolutely madmen! These prodigies are really going all out! No wonder my strength can't compare to theirs, it turns out I lost because I'm a normal person, not crazy enough!"
"I'm convinced, truly convinced! I used to think Chen Jie was just arrogant and disdainful of others, but I never imagined he would cultivate so diligently. I really underestimated him before."
"I wonder how long he can last, and how effective is this Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame Body Tempering? If it really works, can we follow suit?"
"How can an ordinary person withstand the Body Tempering the Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame? They would probably be burned to ashes and their souls destroyed the moment they stepped inside."
"That's right! Look at Chen Jie, a cultivator of the Artifact Cultivation System, whose physical body is already extremely strong, yet he still screamed in agony. Do you think an ordinary cultivator could withstand it?"
Time passed quietly, and Chen Jie's screams continued, but his aura rose steadily amidst the excruciating pain, suddenly breaking through the bottleneck and surging dramatically.
Silver light burst forth from his charred body as he withstood the scorching Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame while rapidly repairing his physical form.
Numerous spatial runes were frantically imprinted into his limbs and bones, not only enhancing his physical strength but also promoting his physical transformation.
In the time that followed, the screams continued, but they were no longer as shrill and intense as before.
Suddenly, Chen Jie opened his eyes abruptly, and in a flash, he leaped out of the furnace, his body enveloped in silver light.
Suddenly, his whole body shuddered violently, and the charred flesh on the surface peeled off in a flurry, revealing his silvery-glowing flesh.
He clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within his body; every cell in his flesh was engraved with spatial runes.
His face was full of excitement as he burst into laughter. "Hahaha! Not only did I withstand the fiery Body Tempering of Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame, but I also used it to break through to the Body Integration Realm and even cultivate the Void Tyrant Physique."
Before his laughter subsided, he suddenly remembered that the live stream was still going on, so he hurriedly took out his clothes and put them on, dispelling the silver light around him.
Turning his head to look at the Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame and earth still burning fiercely in the furnace, a trace of lingering fear flashed across his eyes.
The pain of Body Tempering this Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame was truly unforgettable; he had almost lost his will to jump out several times just now.
But the thought of being defeated and trampled underfoot due to insufficient strength in the future would be even more painful than being burned alive.
Moreover, with so many system hosts watching, giving up halfway would not only mean all his previous efforts were wasted, but he would also lose face in public. Given his arrogant nature, how could he accept that?
He could only grit his teeth and persevere to the very end.
