Chapter 431 Limit
Yuan Ming was very satisfied with Xu Che's reaction and left the Heaven Stealing Cauldron immediately.
He pinched his fingers and pointed at the Shura Stele, and came to the red square in the Extreme Fire Realm, and walked straight into the black palace on the left.
Inside the palace was a tall refining room, with a three-meter-high refining furnace in the center. This was the secret room where Master Shura used to refine weapons.
The black hall on the other side of the square was a fire training room, which contained powerful fire attribute spiritual power. Practicing fire attribute magical powers in it would be twice as effective with half the effort.
There were similar places in the Cambrian Realm and the Nine Nether Mirror. These three areas were opened up by Master Shura to practice various secret arts and magical powers.
Yuan Ming looked at the refining furnace, which was shaped like a gourd, large at the bottom and small at the top. The furnace body was painted with patterns of the sun, moon and stars, and there were nine holes on the top cover.
I don't know what material this furnace is made of. It is white all over. Layers of cloud-like spiritual light flow through the furnace body. From time to time, streams of flame-like red spiritual light emerge from the holes on the top cover, condensing into spiritual birds and beasts, which look very agile.
The ground below the refining furnace is engraved with a complicated earth fire array. In the center, a ball of almost transparent orange-yellow flame is burning, but not much heat is emitted.
"Pure Yangyan! Master Shura really left me a lot of good things." Yuan Ming said secretly.
Pure Yangyan can be called the spiritual fire that the refiners in the world of immortal cultivation dream of. The firepower is amazing, and it is completely restrained. What's more rare is that this fire is gentle in nature, which is most suitable for alchemy and refining.
This refining furnace is called the Sun and Moon Flame Furnace. Combined with the pure Yangyan here, not only is the success rate very high, but the magic weapon refined is also very sophisticated.
Master Shura refined the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts and the Cold Moon Ring here.
Yuan Ming took out the black gourd and the piece of Nine Netherworld Iron, threw them into the Sun Moon Flame Furnace, and used the formula to control the pure Yangyan to refine the two things.
The Nine Netherworld Iron was extremely hard. It took him ten days to melt it before. Now, with the pure Yangyan, it took less than half an hour to melt the two things and turned them into a ball of black iron juice.
Yuan Ming sent the Soul-Destroying Sword into the furnace and used the "same material compression method" to melt the black iron juice into the sword body.
After three days and three nights, a new Soul-Destroying Sword was born.
This sword is not much different from the previous one, but the spiritual power contained in it has increased greatly. The sword body is filled with a dark light, which seems to be able to absorb people's souls.
Yuan Ming was secretly happy. The Sun Moon Flame Furnace and the pure Yangyan were indeed extraordinary. Not only did they perfectly integrate the newly obtained Nine Netherworld Iron into the Soul-Destroying Sword, but they also refined the sword again, refining a lot of impurities, and the spiritual light emitted was much purer.
He brought the sword into the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, sat on the white jade lotus platform, and began to engrave new runes one by one.
The new rune Yuan Ming chose was "Extinguishing Consciousness".
The Soul-Extinguishing Sword vibrated "buzzing", but under the surge of Yin power, it did not crack like before, and the engraving was completed soon.
Yuan Ming took a deep breath, used his magic power to inject it into the sword body, and began to infuse it with spirit.
Time passed little by little, and a day and a night passed in the blink of an eye.
As the door of the refining room opened, Yuan Ming stepped out from inside, his face slightly pale, obviously consumed a lot, but his expression was more excited.
The Soul-Extinguishing Sword has been refined and engraved with the "Extinguishing Consciousness" rune as he wished, circling around him and shooting out black sword energy.
The Soul-Extinguishing Sword Rune Array has reached six runes, not only has the ability of "Extinguishing Consciousness", but also the power of the sword body has greatly increased. Each sword energy bursts out with amazing sword energy fluctuations, which is several times stronger than before.
Yuan Ming's figure disappeared in a flash, and the next moment he moved to the forest near the black tower, next to a lake of several miles in size.
A faint gray mist was rippling on the lake, and the gray mist also contained some cold demonic energy. The temperature nearby was much colder than other places.
Yuan Ming pinched his fingers and pointed, and a black sword energy sank into the lake.
After a few breaths, there was a "splash" of water, and a giant python as thick as a bucket, more than ten feet long, like a dragon, rolled in the water and floated out of the lake.
The snake scales of the giant python were ice blue, looking like cold jade, and the demonic energy around it was even more intense, reaching the third level.
The space where the black tower is located is huge, and Master Shura has raised many monsters here, including many third-level monsters. The blue-scaled giant python in front of him is the best among them.
This monster is called the blue-scaled boa constrictor. Its snake scales are hard, and it is difficult to hurt magic weapons. It also contains a strong poison. Even a cultivator in the Jindan stage has a hard chance of winning.
The blue-scaled anaconda looked at Yuan Ming on the shore with a pair of dark green eyes and roared.
The lake near it rumbled loudly, and a crystal clear water column several feet thick suddenly shot out, hitting Yuan Ming hard, setting off a hurricane.
Yuan Ming stood in place, his body did not move, but the silver flag turned around and appeared in front of him out of thin air, emitting a wisp of silver light, and nearly half of the flag was actually integrated into the void.
He grabbed the silver flag and pulled it gently, and the space in front of him suddenly became distorted.
The direction of the huge water column suddenly deviated, as if someone had pulled it hard in mid-air, and hit the woods on the right side of Yuan Ming, knocking down a large area of woods.
Yuan Ming pointed his finger, and the black light on the Soul-Destroying Sword above his head surged, forming a black vortex several feet in size, rumbling and turning.
An amazing suction force came out from the black vortex, sweeping a radius of dozens of feet.
This is the property of the Nine Netherworld Iron that absorbs souls. Combined with the ability formed by the Six Rune Array, Yuan Ming came up with a name for it: "Soul-sucking Vortex".
The insects, birds, beasts, and fish in the lake within the range of the soul-sucking vortex trembled, and their souls all left their bodies and were sucked into the black vortex, turning into corpses.
The blue-scaled anaconda was also enveloped by the soul-sucking vortex, its body trembling, its soul trembling constantly, and it seemed to be leaving its body.
But the blue-scaled anaconda was a third-level monster after all, and its soul was relatively strong compared to ordinary monsters, barely resisting the swallowing of the soul-sucking vortex.
Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows slightly and activated the rune of extinction.
The next moment, the blue-scaled anaconda paused, and felt that its eyes suddenly fell into endless darkness.
At this time, it could not see anything, hear any sound, smell any smell, and its consciousness was also swallowed by the darkness, and it could not sense anything, as if it had fallen into the deepest part of the Nine Netherworld.
A huge fear rose in the heart of the blue-scaled anaconda, and its already unstable soul could no longer hold on.
"Whoosh" a phantom of a big snake flew out of the snake's head, directly sank into the soul-sucking vortex, and was instantly crushed.
Without the control of the soul, the body of the blue-scaled anaconda sank to the bottom of the lake powerlessly, having lost all vitality.
A hint of surprise flashed across Yuan Ming's eyes. The consciousness-killing rune was indeed powerful.
He originally thought that the effect of this rune was to weaken the enemy's five senses and consciousness. From the situation just now, the consciousness-killing rune directly cut off the five senses and consciousness of the blue-scaled anaconda.
Although the Soul-killing Sword was only engraved with six runes, the two runes of "curse" and "consciousness-killing" were incredibly powerful, and one was enough to resist two or three ordinary runes.
With the power of ordinary sword energy alone, the current Soul-killing Sword is no less powerful than a magic weapon with nine runes. If the two strange runes of "curse" and "consciousness-killing" are added, the potential of the Soul-killing Sword is even more difficult to estimate.
Yuan Ming waved his hand to roll up the body of the blue-scaled anaconda and threw it into the Shura Blood-eating Diagram.
The Blood-eating Diagram rumbled and soon melted the body of the blue-scaled anaconda and refined it into a stream of pure blood.
Yuan Ming sat cross-legged by the lake, took out the book of the Demon Elephant Prison-Suppressing Technique, and read it carefully again.
Now that everything has been dealt with, it is time to study the Demon Elephant Prison-Suppressing Technique carefully.
He carefully studied the Demon Elephant Prison-Suppressing Technique three times, and after confirming that it was correct, he slowly circulated his qi and blood according to the records above.
The Shura Blood-Eating Diagram was suspended above his head, and a stream of pure blood light flew out of the diagram and merged into his body.
Yuan Ming's face showed pain. The blood entered his body, and his muscles and bones seemed to be cut by countless blunt knives, and the pain penetrated into his bones.
With his current temperament, he could not bear it, and his body trembled like a sieve.
"Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world! The more powerful the skills, the more difficult it is to practice. This Demon Elephant Prison-Suppressing Technique can directly refine the qi and blood of others, and it is very fast, but it has to go through the pain of slow slicing!" Yuan Ming groaned miserably, and hurriedly circulated the Heart-Cleansing Technique, and combined with the ability of emotional movement, he finally managed to suppress the piercing pain.
Time passed little by little, and half a day passed in a blink of an eye.
Yuan Ming stopped practicing, his face was extremely pale, and his eyes were also exhausted.
However, this suffering was not in vain. His body became much tougher. When he exerted his strength, the skin would faintly show the pattern of elephant skin.
At this speed, it would not take long for him to practice the first level of the Demon Elephant Prison Technique and cultivate a copper-skinned body.
The blue-scaled anaconda in the Shura Blood Devouring Diagram had not yet used up its blood, but Yuan Ming did not continue to practice.
The practice of the Demon Elephant Prison Technique was too painful. Now both his body and soul had reached their limits and he needed to rest well.
Yuan Ming urged the Shura Stele to move to the medicine garden and practice the Nine Yuan Jue.
The rich wood-attributed spiritual energy gathered here, and his body recovered quickly.
As for the soul, Yuan Ming had already collected the souls in Xiying and Yan Sijing's bodies, and the souls used the Huanxin Jue to refine the will and restore the tired soul.
In a blink of an eye, March passed by.
A loud and long roar sounded in the medicine garden. There was no fluctuation of mana in it, but it was like the roar of a giant elephant, shaking people's hearts.
The green mist in the medicine garden was shaken into ripples, and the wind rolled up the clouds.
After a long time, the roar stopped.
Yuan Ming stood up, and his skin was full of clear black lines, which were the magic elephant lines formed by the first level of the magic elephant prison art.
He practiced the magic elephant prison art, and his skin was the skin of the magic elephant, which was extremely tough and far better than the copper skin of ordinary body cultivators. He was now a head taller, and his hands and feet had grown bigger.
Yuan Ming's figure flashed, and he disappeared from the original place, and then appeared out of thin air next to a crimson tree more than ten feet away, his fingers became claws, and he gently grabbed.
The bark of the crimson tree was shattered, and a large piece of red wood was also grabbed off.
Yuan Ming's eyes lit up with joy. This deep red tree was not an ordinary tree. It was called "Iron Plowwood". It contained the power of five metals and was harder than some ores. It was the material for making some warships and flying boats, but it was as fragile as tofu in his hands.
This was only the first level. If he could cultivate the Demon Elephant Prison-Suppressing Technique to the innate body, or even the body of the orifice, he would be so powerful!
