Ch 405 - The Strange River

Even though Lin Ming's current cultivation had reached the peak of Pulse Condensation, controlling the Devastated Heart Crystal energy to temper his marrow still caused the same pain as before. It was as if a sword was twisting its existence!
This kind of energy contained the will of the rest of the Netherworld Great Emperor. It was cruel, brutal, arrogant and unruly. To force him to surrender so that Lin Ming could use it for himself, he had to remove this will.
What Lin Ming could do was to use his own soul and slowly destroy the will of the remaining Great Netherworld Emperors.
Lin Ming gnashed his teeth as sweat flowed beneath him. Periodically there would be a small amount of energy coming out from his pores, but these energies were all imprisoned by the power of the medicinal inscription symbol and contained within his body.
The principle behind this medicinal inscription symbol was to reduce the loss of medicinal efficacy. This medicinal inscription that could be fully utilized on the Heaven Opening Piil could still slightly affect the Crystal Hearts Shattered Demon.
Thus the energy in Lin Ming's body was increasingly manic and savage.
Lin Ming forcefully used the tempering marrow method found within the 'Chaotic Virtues Combat Meridians' and urged the Shattered Demon Heart Crystal energy to enter his skeleton bit by bit. The energy was thick and heavy like mercury, and it was also very pervasive. Although Lin Ming's bones were extremely dense, the energy easily penetrated.
As the energy entered the marrow, Lin Ming could hear the sound of 'chi chi chi chi' emanating from his bones. It was an energy that burned his marrow, slowly refining it and changing its nature. This was similar to when a blacksmith had to fry a wooden spear rod in a large pan of oil to cause all the dirt inside to explode. This pain was very deep in his bones and very painful.
Lin Ming's forehead was dripping with sweat. But compared to the last time he absorbed the Broken Heart Crystal, he was in a much better condition. The first time, almost all of his blood was drained, forming a bloody carapace that covered his body. But this time, there was only pain and sweat.
In sweat, there were traces of fainting gray substances, but only a small amount. This was the dirt within Lin Ming's body. After Lin Ming experienced some experience washing his marrow and muscles, this was the result. Although the purity of Lin Ming's body couldn't compare to someone like Mu Qianyu, he also didn't have much impurities left in him.
Time passes slowly. Finally, two full hours had passed, and Lin Ming absorbed the final energy. He opened his mouth and spewed out a mouthful of black blood.
This vomiting does not actually stop. Lin Ming continued to vomit blood until the entire ground was covered in blood. That's a pretty disturbing sight. Finally, it was over, and Lin Ming wiped his mouth. He looked inside her and found that the blood inside her veins was very bright red, and thick like mercury.
Marrow and blood are interrelated. The marrow produces blood, and the blood rejuvenates the marrow. In order to dampen one's marrow, one needed to create new blood.
After Lin Ming ate half of the Shattered Demon Heart Crystal, the golden color of his marrow was much richer than before; he came closer to finishing Tempering Marrow with the other 5.
Half of the Shattered Demon Heart Crystal was 5%, and the overall would be nearly 10%. Now, Angry Tempering Lin Ming was about 25% complete. Although the efficacy of the medicine in the future of this pill would weaken, after he finished eating the eight Crushed Demon Heart Crystals, Lin Ming estimated that he would have to complete Tempering Marrow by around 60 to 70%.
Tempering anger is a big limit. Completing it was much more difficult than Lin Ming had expected before. He had no idea how strong he was after finishing Tempering Marrow.
As Lin Ming sat in meditation for half an hour, his stomach began to growl hunger.
Before Lin Ming entered the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm, he had filled his spatial ring with all sorts of food. When he took out the cured flesh and dried rations, he heard a faint dripping sound from within the cave, as if there was water nearby.
Lin Ming's thoughts stirred. He put away the dry rations and started walking into the cave. After he walked several hundred feet, he saw that there was indeed an underground river in the cave.
The river water is very clear and beautiful. However, Lin Ming felt that something was amiss. When he reached out his hand to grab some, he suddenly inhaled a breath of cold air. The river water is very heavy. At least, it was no lighter than mercury. Not only that, but the water temperature was extremely high; it was already several times above boiling.
As Lin Ming was cupping water, he discovered that during that time a large amount of true essence protecting his body had melted.
"What kind of river is this !?"
Lin Ming's skin was not very good. Everything he found within this Heavenly Phoenix Mystic Realm was strange and dangerous.
"mm? What'sthat?"
Lin Ming discovered that there were actually creatures within the river. These creatures looked like giant crabs, and their entire bodies were covered with red-boned armor as they hid underwater. They looked at him with wide eyes.
Both claws were over two feet!
"If it can survive in this place, then it is not a friendly beast. ”The temperature is several times boiling temperature, but this crab can still survive here. Even Lin Ming would not be able to do so. He could stay underwater for a long time, but he finally had to give up after his true essence ran out. But these crabs take this river as their residence, and are not at all afraid of high temperatures.
A giant crab with a body four or five feet tall suddenly rose. It brandished its two-foot long claws while trying to suppress Lin Ming, as if it wanted to cut him at the waist.
"That makes me a victim?"
Lin Ming sneered. He punched out with the Body Tearing Bone Shattering Fist; blue true essence erupted!
Bang out!
The crab flew backwards, rolling around. Finally stop, jump and run.
"It's not dead?"
Lin Ming was surprised. This punch was capable of killing late Houtian martial artists. But this big crab actually rejected it!
Too strong!
Soon, seven or eight giant crabs gathered in the river. Lin Ming was stunned for a moment, and then realized that his fellow crabs had returned to gather his friends.
These crabs are the rulers of the river. They had never suffered such a loss before. Now, they swore to eliminate Lin Ming!
Pu's! Pu's!
Seven or eight giant crabs dashed out of the river together, rushing to kill Lin Ming!
Kacha!
Seven or eight bolts of thunder fell from the sky, each attacking a giant crab. All the crabs were instantly killed by Lin Ming.
As Lin Ming looked at the giant crab on the ground, he suddenly recalled something. The Palace Spirit said that this cave was a residence for those participating in the common level smelting path; was this the food and water provided?
Lin Ming hesitated for a moment, and then walked over to the giant crab. He grabbed it, and then used a lot of effort to crush its palm-thick shell. Inside was a soft and lustrous red and white flesh. He dug out a large piece and began to roast it on the fire.
Lin Ming was already used to carrying salt and other herbs. He casually sprinkled some on top of the crab meat, and the delicious aroma began to dissipate.
Lin Ming bit carefully. This strange giant crab meat is very savory and tender, yet still chewy.
Lin Ming took his time. After he carefully determined that there were no side effects, he started devouring them.
This strange giant crab meat is very resistant to high temperatures. No matter how he roasted it, it would not be charred or burnt. When he tasted it, it tasted very delicious, and even better than the dishes found in famous restaurants.
“It's a good item. ”
Even Lin Ming, a relatively picky expert about food, could not help but praise this strange crab meat.
"mm? The crab meat in my stomach seems to feed the true essence of my body? "Lin Ming was surprised to find As the crab meat entered his stomach, low heat began to flow out and disappear. It's a very comfortable feeling. He felt the fire-attribute true essence in his body slowly strengthen.
The magnitude of the increase from this crab meat was much less than eating pills, but it actually won in terms of purity. There was no dirt and poison contained within it.
It was equivalent to eating spiritual vegetables and spiritual grains. However, the effect was at least 100 times greater than the spiritual food found on Divine Phoenix Island!
Lin Ming was surprised. This is what the participants in the Ancient Phoenix Clan level smelting trial ate?
The Ancient Phoenix Clan. Lin Ming only needed to hear this name to roughly guess that they would have the Beast God bloodline within them; it was hard to imagine how formidable their talent was. Moreover, they studied the techniques and skills of the Ancient Phoenix Clan, they had training grounds like the smelting trial in the Divine Mystic Phoenix Realm, as well as all sorts of incredible medicine and food.
How could their talent not stand out?
It was no wonder that the weakest and lowest king level talent within the Ancient Phoenix Clan could also complete a general level smelting trial within a year.
"Maybe ... only the king level were truly members of the Ancient Phoenix Clan. And, the so-called common level was only for the subordinates of the Ancient Phoenix Clan!
As Lin Ming realized this, the original satisfaction in his heart vanished.
The road he walked was still very long!
However, the more like this, the more arousing the competitive spirit within Lin Ming's heart. If he had already stood on top of all the geniuses of the 3000 boundless universes, then, with no purpose to pursue, he would feel lonely and bored.
But now, it seems like he failed.
After he ate most of the crab meat, Lin Ming drank water from the river. The river water also had an effect similar to crab meat; it could moisturize and refine the true essence within its body.
“Even water has this effect. Not only that, but the true essence of the fire attribute here was much richer than the outside. If I want to practice actual combat, there are still giant battles waiting outside for me. This is a really good place to practice!
Within the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm, if one wanted to fight there were many opponents outside. If one wanted to cultivate, there was a fire attribute true essence that was extremely rich; even eating or drinking would increase one's strength. What place is faster to cultivate than here?
After Lin Ming drank the contents, he felt the crab meat and water turn to heat within his body and run around. His body flushed with panicked energy. If he did not immediately release this energy, he would feel unwell for a while. Lin Ming couldn't wait to come out and fight!
Lin Ming took out the Purple Comet Spear from his spatial ring and launched his movement technique, directly flying out of the cave. Outside the cave, several hundred stone puppets had gathered on the plains. But this time, the stone puppets were lit up mostly. This flaming stone puppet was much stronger than an ordinary stone puppet.
As he looked at the large number of stone puppets, Lin Ming's fighting spirit surged. He stepped forward, his body shooting out like an arrow, creating a perfect bow as he landed amidst the group of puppets.
The stone puppet roared, and a column of fire came blasting towards Lin Ming. He faintly smiled and directly activated Golden Roc Shattering the Void. He was like a swallow in the midst of a storm, dancing in the midst of a blaze, like a thread through a needle!
Hu hu hu!
All the fire columns were passed by Lin Ming. A distance of 1000 feet flashed in the blink of an eye. As Lin Ming arrived in front of the first fire puppet, the Purple Comet Spear came sweeping over!
Bang out!
With a loud bang, the flaming puppet was shattered apart by Lin Ming's spear!
As strength flowed throughout his body, Lin Ming could hear his bones appearing and breaking; this inevitable feeling of comfort made him want to groan and shout!
The fight!
After restraining his marrow and eating a large amount of crab meat, Lin Ming felt an energy crash through his entire body. If he did not vent this energy, he would never feel at ease.
Peng peng!
The spear stabbed out. Arches of lightning shot out in all directions, flames burned into the sky, and blue light sliced through the void. Wherever the Purple Comet Spear went, the crushed stone would fly!
