Chapter 1433: Chapter 1432: Dead, Yet Must Continue...

[Seeking rewards!!!]

”He’s back!”

”The perseverance of this young man is truly admirable!”

”Dingtian, immediately gather the village’s strongmen to ignite a fire and temper the Black Tripod with the million-year-old Black Wood from our Taishi Village!” Old Feng said resolutely.

Taishi Dingtian didn’t hesitate for a moment. He quickly ran into the village to get the strongmen to help start the fire. When Ye Tianchen decided to follow the recipe recorded on the sheet, to temper himself, they thought of this: to temper this Black Tripod, relying solely on Innate True Fire wouldn’t be possible. Only by using external power, like the million-year-old Black Wood, which is quite significant, could success be achieved. As the saying goes, the type of firewood determines the quality of the food cooked. Ordinary firewood wouldn’t suffice for tempering this Black Tripod, not to mention attempting to make it boil, which wouldn’t be possible either. Only this million-year-old Black Wood could successfully temper the Black Tripod.

In the Martial Arts World, Black Wood has always been a legendary material. It is said that at the dawn of the Martial Arts World, a million bolts of thunder descended from the sky, continuously striking the Martial Arts World as if to cleanse everything. The greatest impact was on a forest of Black Wood. Under the baptism of thunder, these Black Woods were forged into Divine Material, passed down through generations. However, extracting any divine power from this Black Wood is extremely difficult because the power of thunder is the hardest to control, and ordinary people cannot accomplish it.

Taishi Village received some Black Wood as a gift from the Human Clan Emperor who refined the Jade Palace World back when they entered it. It’s been kept until now, and finally, it can be used to temper Ye Tianchen’s body.

When Ye Tianchen flew to Old Feng and the God Beating Bowl, he almost collapsed on the ground. Old Feng hurriedly tried to support Ye Tianchen, but Ye Tianchen stopped him.

”Old man, don’t come near. My body is filled with various poisons that will be lethal!” Ye Tianchen said through gritted teeth.

”Heavens, you... you brat, where did you go? Have you gone mad? Your entire body is filled with various poisonous gases and poison liquids. Can you still survive?” The God Beating Bowl exclaimed in shock.

Crash!

Ye Tianchen desperately activated ”Holy Heaven Prison,” pouring out all the collected poisonous substances onto the ground, piling them up to form a small hill. Old Feng and the God Beating Bowl stared at it dumbfounded. Seeing such a heap of poisonous substances was frightening enough, not to mention the various colors of poisonous gases surrounding Ye Tianchen, enough to make them stupefied with fear. Even a tiny touch would mean death!

”Brother Ye, you this...” Old Feng really didn’t know what to say!

”Old man, Kinhwa, listen to me. I’m almost at my limit and might die. But I won’t give up or fall easily. Just follow the recipe’s instructions, put all the poisonous substances into the Black Tripod, temper it with the million-year-old Black Wood, and then put my body into the Tripod. After that, leave the rest to fate!” Ye Tianchen finished his thoughts in one breath.

”Ye boy, this is too risky. In this state, you might not survive; you’ve been afflicted by too many deadly poisons...” The God Beating Bowl hadn’t finished speaking when Ye Tianchen collapsed to the ground.

He’s dead!

No sign of breath, completely dead—this was the direct judgment Old Feng and the God Beating Bowl made about Ye Tianchen. The toxins in Ye Tianchen’s body weren’t just one or two but countless, like he had crawled from a place teeming with poisonous creatures, covered with various deadly poisons, terrifying to behold, and dared not touch even a little. Some poison liquids, even if touched like Ye Tianchen, would cause one to turn into a puddle of blood, leaving Old Feng and the God Beating Bowl bewildered about what kind of place Ye Tianchen had gone.

In truth, after Ye Tianchen stormed into the ”Poison Valley,” he was immediately discovered by all the poisonous creatures. But Ye Tianchen was out of options; he was desperately short of time. If he wanted to return to Taishi Village by the next day’s sunset, he could only go on a killing spree, eliminating all the poisonous creatures recorded on the recipe and then bringing them back to Taishi Village. However, there were too many poisonous creatures in the ”Poison Valley.” When they saw Ye Tianchen unleash a slaughter, killing many, the remaining poisonous creatures were filled with fear and all swarmed him, leading to every poison in the ”Poison Valley” attempting to assault Ye Tianchen. Two fists couldn’t combat four hands, and some poisonous creatures were exceptionally formidable, making them not easy to deal with. Ye Tianchen had to unleash all his power, even using the ”Holy Heaven Prison,” to eliminate them. Despite this, Ye Tianchen still suffered numerous attacks, being caught off guard, leading to this predicament!

”Oh my god, this kid is dead? What do we do?” the God Beating Bowl exclaimed in panic.

”Take him into Taishi Village and follow his instructions; perhaps there’s a sliver of hope!” Old Feng couldn’t help but say.

”A sliver of hope? He’s already dead, poisoned by various toxins, and now we’re throwing him into a tripod full of poisons to refine him? How can he come back to life? Won’t he just be boiled alive?” God Beating Bowl said sulkily.

”This is already a desperate measure. If this doesn’t work, what else can we do? Just take this as fulfilling Brother Ye’s last wish!” Old Feng sighed, also uncertain.

”Anyway, you guys carry him. This kid is covered in toxins; I dare not touch him!” God Beating Bowl said, acting unconcerned.

Old Feng threw a sharp glance at God Beating Bowl, then used two powerful strands of Martial Arts True Power to surround Ye Tianchen without touching his body, while strong runes held his body in place to prevent the toxins from leaking out and harming Taishi Village’s innocent villagers. Only then did he slowly head towards Taishi Village.

When Old Feng brought Ye Tianchen’s body into his courtyard, Taishi Dingtian, the little rascal, had already gathered with a group of strong men to set up the Black Tripod, and had lit some million-year-old Black Wood, slowly roasting it. Old Feng glanced at the strong men and said, ”Some of you go to the village entrance and bring those toxins here, but be extremely careful, touch them and you’re dead!”

”Understood!” The strong men of Taishi Village began to move, heading to the village entrance where Ye Tianchen had released some toxins from Holy Heaven Prison.

With many people, there’s strength. Soon, the pile of toxins at the village entrance were moved into Old Feng’s courtyard. By now, the Black Tripod was boiling furiously. Taishi Dingtian and God Beating Bowl followed the recipe, slowly selecting some toxins mentioned in it and threw them into the Black Tripod. Each time a toxin was thrown in, the Black Tripod turned darker and emitted rumbling sounds, as if it were poisoned itself, startling Taishi Dingtian and God Beating Bowl into quickly retreating, not daring to approach. It’s incredibly dangerous; if some poison liquid were to overflow from the tripod, Taishi Village would be annihilated!

”Oh no, we’re missing one thing!” Taishi Dingtian couldn’t help but say.

”What thing?” Old Feng asked.

”Everything is ready, except for the Life-ending Intestine-breaking Herb!” Taishi Dingtian frowned and said.

”Is this thing hard to find?” God Beating Bowl asked.

”The Life-ending Intestine-breaking Herb is not hard to find, but... I remembered there’s one not far from Taishi Village; I’ll get it right away!” Old Feng seemed to recall something and said.

”Grandpa... don’t go, it’s too dangerous!” Taishi Dingtian tried to stop Old Feng.

”It’s too late for anything now. Brother Ye didn’t hesitate to help Taishi Village; now he’s in danger, how can we not save him? I’ll put him into the tripod first, without closing the lid, then fetch the Life-ending Intestine-breaking Herb and cover it. You keep an eye on the fire, don’t let it go out!” Old Feng said and then tossed Ye Tianchen into the tripod!

Watching Old Feng leave, Taishi Dingtian began adding million-year-old Black Wood to the tripod below to make the flames even bigger, while Ye Tianchen sat all naked, cross-legged inside the tripod. Around him were various toxins, even the juices without any added water, slowly seeped out, soaking over half of Ye Tianchen’s body. The Black Tripod sizzled and soon boiled again. God Beating Bowl gasped; Ye Tianchen was too crazy, boiling like this, he was sure to be cooked. If conscious, he could use Martial Arts True Power to resist the burn, but now Ye Tianchen was already out cold, unable to use Martial Arts True Qi to resist, enduring this refining just as an ordinary mortal, it would be peculiar if not boiled alive!

”What’s taking that old madman so long? Did he run off?” God Beating Bowl spoke viciously.

Bang!

Taishi Dingtian punched God Beating Bowl’s head angrily and said, ”Shut up, Grandpa is risking his life to get the Life-ending Intestine-breaking Herb. If anything happens to him, I’ll throw you in there to boil too!” (To be continued.
