With a decisive strike from Echo, Ye Feng felt invigorated. He hadn't expected the other party to readily agree to his request, as his previous words had indeed seemed somewhat evasive. However, given that the other party could unconditionally trust him to investigate, Ye Feng felt a bit more favorable towards Echo's master. After some thought, he performed a bow and said, "I am very grateful that you trust me, senior. I will not let you down and will do my utmost to assist you in investigating the movements of the giants!"
His words were sincere; Ye Feng was not the kind of person who would take advantage of others without doing anything in return. Echo responded cheerfully, "I trust my judgment in people and hope that my choice is not misguided. Before I empower you, there is one thing I need to clarify!"
"Oh?" Ye Feng had not anticipated that there was more to discuss, but he understood the other's caution and replied promptly, "Please speak freely, senior. As long as I can do it, I will give it my all!"
"Good! Listen carefully. After I empower you, a map of Titan's Abyss will flash in your mind. The size of this Underground Palace is beyond your imagination, but as long as you follow the routes on the map, finding the center will be easy!"
"I know what you're thinking; perhaps you're hoping to seize this opportunity to gain something from the Underground Palace. That is only natural, and I won't stop you. However, there are several places I must warn you about—never enter them! It would be a grave mistake to risk everything for a small gain; if you get hurt because of it, don't blame me for not warning you!"
Ye Feng felt embarrassed at having his thoughts exposed, followed by confusion about which places Echo was referring to. According to what Echo had said earlier, the power he would receive should make him invincible in this Underground Palace. So what was there to fear?
Echo continued, "These places are mechanisms left behind by me and several immortals to seal the Titan race. They are meant to prevent the giants from breaking free and escaping the Underground Palace. If any of these mechanisms are triggered, an unprecedented explosion will occur throughout the entire Underground Palace!"
As Echo spoke, his tone grew heavier, sounding genuine rather than fabricated. Ye Feng listened carefully and felt a sense of unease creeping in; he couldn't fathom just how terrifying this explosion would be.
Echo explained further, "This explosion is beyond your current imagination. Just know that if such an explosive command is triggered, not only will the entire Underground Palace be destroyed, but even with my empowered strength backing you, your Divine Soul will also be obliterated! So remember this well!"
Divine Soul obliteration? Ye Feng shuddered at the thought; a strange light flickered in his eyes as he respectfully replied, "I understand and thank you for your warning!" Though he said this outwardly, he secretly broke into a cold sweat—if it weren't for Echo's warning, he might have inadvertently triggered something!
It would be a terrible loss if he ended up losing his life instead of gaining treasure!
After saying all this, Echo gave a heavy acknowledgment and then suddenly shouted, "Kid, I've said what I needed to say! Now focus your mind; I'm going to enhance your Divine Soul!"
As soon as these words were spoken, before Ye Feng could gather his thoughts, he felt a tremor in the Mural World beneath him. The scenes of giant slaughter shattered around him, replaced by endless darkness! This darkness resembled the starry sky where countless bizarre scenes converged in chaotic disarray!
"What is going on?" Ye Feng murmured instinctively.
"This is called the Primordial Chaos!" Echo said. "Before humanity began to cultivate, there was no world. The world originated from an explosion, and before that explosion, this was the scene of a world that did not yet exist!"
"Is this the chaotic world?" Ye Feng was utterly shocked. Before him lay endless darkness, and the fragments of images flashing by were blinding. Immersed in the boundless darkness, he felt a suffocating torment!
This torment nearly destabilized his Divine Soul! Echo immediately shouted, "Steady your mind! Truly feel the scene of the Primordial Chaos. To strengthen your Divine Soul, you must pass this trial!"
Ye Feng gritted his teeth, trying not to think about everything in the darkness. He closed his eyes and used his senses to perceive the changes around him! He could feel that his Divine Soul seemed to be drawn towards something! The direction of that pull suddenly made him open his eyes!
It was a shock when he opened his eyes; before him was a massive black hole, which was pulling at his Divine Soul! In his past life as a cultivator, he knew how terrifying such black holes could be! Once sucked in, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal could not save him!
In his ears, Echo's voice rang out again: "Kid, don't look at that black hole! It's an illusion! If you can't get through this trial, your Divine Soul will be completely destroyed! This is a barrier you must stabilize your Divine Soul against!"
Ye Feng cursed inwardly! He thought to himself, why didn't you say so earlier? He had thought that enhancing his power would be easy! He never expected to endure such suffering! He seemed to understand why no one had been able to help Echo investigate the true reason behind the Underground Palace for ten thousand years!
It seemed they were waiting for him here! However, despite being filled with resentment towards Echo, he had no choice but to prioritize his own life. It didn't matter if his Divine Soul left his body; if it were destroyed, he might not have the luck to be reborn three times!
"Innate Spirit Summoning Technique! Activate! Hold on for me!" In the state of his Divine Soul, Ye Feng couldn't care less about anything else and unleashed the power of his Qi Refinement Third Layer! He stabilized his soul completely, striving not to be affected by that terrifying black hole!
Seeing this, Echo's master was also surprised and exclaimed softly, seemingly not expecting this guy to possess such a Wasteful Young Master quality! He reassured him, saying, "I see now. With such a Supreme Technique, even in this land where Spirit Energy is scarce, you can remain worry-free!"
Not expecting Ye Feng to recognize his Supreme Technique, Ye Feng couldn't be bothered to retort. He was only concerned about whether he could hold on through this trial and shouted anxiously, "Senior! Hurry up! I can't hold on for too long!"
But Echo replied leisurely, "The longer you can hold on, the stronger the power I will grant you later. So just manage it yourself!"
Damn! Ye Feng was too lazy to curse anymore! This guy really wouldn't speak the truth until he was pushed to the brink! However, in order to gain more powerful strength later, Ye Feng gritted his teeth. With the help of the Innate Spirit Summoning Technique, although his Divine Soul was still being pulled by the black hole, its speed had already decreased. Watching the fragments being drawn into the black hole disappear one by one, Ye Feng felt a chill in his heart! Hold on! Hold on! Just hold on a little longer! Not knowing how many dangers were hidden within the Underground Palace, he had to become stronger!
Time passed slowly. In Ye Feng's mind, what felt like a long moment was actually just a blink of an eye. Eventually, his soul was getting closer and closer to the black hole! It seemed he was about to face complete annihilation of his Divine Soul! Suddenly, he heard Echo whispering beside him:
"All things begin and end with thought! Thoughts stir up storms! Thoughts dissolve into nothingness! Supreme Sovereign, I am Haotian Shura True Monarch! Obey my command! Gather!"
As Echo finished whispering, Ye Feng felt his entire being sway! The Innate Spirit Summoning Technique was forcibly interrupted, and the surrounding darkness began to dissipate! Gradually, the black hole receded, replaced by a fiery expanse! He looked up and saw a blazing red sun right before him!
His whole body felt scorched! Ye Feng's Divine Soul seemed like it was about to be roasted alive! He couldn't help but shout, "Senior, what is this situation?"
Echo replied calmly, "The second trial! Get through it! The power I grant you will double! This is soul forging; you still have much to learn!"
Damn it! If Ye Feng had the ability, he would drag Echo's master out and give him a good beating. First a black hole, then a red sun—this guy was completely leading him down a path of destruction! Feeling his Divine Soul being burned and softened, his consciousness gradually became hazy!
Echo finally couldn't help but shout, "Don't pass out! If you do, I won't be able to hold on; just hang in there! I guarantee that after this trial, you will transcend above all beings!"
Ye Feng no longer cared whether Echo's words were true or false; he just fought with his last breath, unwilling to die like this. He focused his mind to resist the terrifying heat! Hot sweat soaked his entire body but evaporated in an instant! This feeling of being in deep water and fire was simply too painful!
He even thought that he would rather be sucked into that black hole than endure this scorching heat! Of course, it was just a thought. This time, Ye Feng held on for less than thirty seconds. Echo saw his potential and sighed before urgently commanding, "Unrestrained and unbounded, all thoughts change with the heart! No matter what, go!"
As soon as the command fell, the red sun disappeared. Ye Feng felt completely drained and gasped for air. His Divine Soul had been tortured beyond recognition; he didn't even have the strength to curse anymore—his eyes were bright and intense, lost in thought!
Then he heard Echo laughing beside him: "You've passed through these two great trials of limitless extremes! Now, I can officially refine your Divine Soul!"
"Now, it's just starting. What were you doing earlier..." Ye Feng said with a roll of his eyes, feeling quite annoyed.
Echo didn't blame him; instead, he became serious. "Listen carefully, kid. Soon, you'll feel a chill all over your body as an extremely cold energy enters you. Don't resist it; let it root and move within you. Even if you feel like dying from the cold, don't exhale! Just hold on for ten breaths!"
Ye Feng smiled helplessly, realizing that this was the main event! There was no way to refuse. Echo fell silent, and then Ye Feng found himself speechless! Sure enough, he felt the bone-chilling cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar!
He didn't even notice when this icy energy had entered his body! He couldn't detect any path! All he felt was that his entire body had turned into ice! His heart seemed to be about to stop beating! He wanted to shout for help but remembered Echo's last words!
Don't exhale!
With no glimmer of hope, feeling like a dead man, he widened his eyes, sensing the bone-chilling cold gradually eroding his Divine Soul. The state of his Divine Soul shifted from fiery warmth to extreme cold! This kind of torment was unbearable for anyone!
Ye Feng's Divine Soul froze, and in his wide-open eyes, a strange light began to flicker. This light changed from within; his black eyes seemed to be covered with a thin veil, becoming hazy and gradually turning white, resembling the pupils shrouded in the moon palace of ancient myths!
In the deathly silence, he could clearly feel his blood slowly stopping its flow, and his heartbeat gradually calmed down... yet that icy sensation inexplicably intensified!
Three breaths had passed; just three breaths, and he experienced death. Then Ye Feng felt his vision growing weary, wanting to close his eyes. At that moment, Echo shouted again: "Whatever you do, don't close your eyes! Five breaths left! Four breaths! Three breaths! Hold on!"
In the end, Ye Feng could no longer hear Echo's shouts, while the ten breaths felt like ten long years flowing through Ye Feng's Divine Soul...
