Chapter 1378: Refining the Saint-Perishing Fruit

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

Entering the neighboring room, Qingfeng took out the Saint-Perishing Fruit and placed it upon the desk before him. "Senior Fire Dragon," he said. "Senior Dark Night Emperor, the two of you can come out now."

In a ray of red light, the Fire Dragon Soul flew out from Qingfeng Li's mind. His body was a transparent specter, shrunk down to just a few meters long as it hovered in mid-air.

The Soul of Dark Night Emperor also flew out from the long sword and floated in the air.

The two of them stared at the Saint-Perishing Fruit sitting on the desk before them, their expressions solemn.

The Saint-Perishing Fruit, as its name suggested, was a treasure that was capable of killing a Saint, originally from the ancient era. It held immense power, and even they had to approach it with caution.

Only a Saint would be able to sense the immense aura that the Saint-Perishing Fruit exuded. Lesser self-cultivators were not able to feel it clearly.

Despite being an Emperor Class self-cultivator, Qingfeng Li was still unable to perceive the power of the Saint-Perishing Fruit clearly.

Black Heavenly Dao talisman scriptures glowed upon the surface of the Saint-Perishing Fruit. They held a power that could destroy all of existence, a power that wanted to consume everything.

The Heavenly Dao talisman scriptures flickered before it suddenly burst from the surface of the fruit. It shot straight toward the skies with an intimidating force, seemingly in an attempt to fly away. The Saint-Perishing Fruit had perceived its own fate, that it would be refined if it stayed here, and had been unwilling to die here. It wanted to escape.

"You think you can run?" Qingfeng Li smirked, his eyes cold as he said.

Channeling his spirit energy, Qingfeng Li released the Black-White Millstone.

The Black-White Millstone sprung from Qingfeng Li's mind, releasing a ray each of black and white light. As the millstone spun, the light was bent into a "S" shape. The millstone radiated a powerful suppressing force that forced the Saint-Perishing Fruit to stay in place, not daring to escape.

The surface of the Saint-Perishing Fruit contained the immense power of saint level Heavenly Dao talisman scripts. But before the chaotic presence of the Black-White Millstone, it seemed to tremble in fear.

The stage was set, now for the final act.

Qingfeng Li grinned. "Now beginning the refinement of the Saint-Perishing Fruit," he said.

Qingfeng Li, the Fire Dragon Soul, the Soul of Dark Night Emperor, and the Black-White Millstone each released their spirit energy. The combined energy flew straight into the Saint-Perishing Fruit, refining the talisman scripts on its surface and reducing it to liquid form.

At first, the Perish Immoral Fruit tried to struggle, but under the suppression of the Black-White Millstone, it quickly abandoned its attempt. The talisman scripts upon its surface began to fade and a black liquid began to drip from its interior.

In a hurry, Qingfeng Li produced a small bowl and placed it under the fruit to catch the black liquid.

Each drop of the black liquid was the size of a regular drop of water. In reality, however, it contained an immense amount of power. Each drop seemed to have the power of a Saint.

Standing there, Qingfeng Li felt his body begin to break apart, cracks began to appear on his skin all over his body.

Using the Mortal Purgatory Body, Qingfeng Li suppressed the power of the liquid, preventing it from spreading further through his body.

"Qingfeng Li," the Dark Night Emperor said to him. "This black liquid is called the Saint Nectar of Hell. This is a substance that can refine a Saint. Now that we've refined it, its power has been reduced significantly. You can use it to strengthen the power of your skin and muscle."

Qingfeng Li nodded. He knew that the development of his Mortal Purgatory Body had hit a ceiling. Breaking through again would be difficult and he needed the help of natural treasures. However, these tended to be extremely rare.

The Saint Nectar of Hell before him was one of these substances. Qingfeng Li could use it to strengthen his body, and it was two birds with one stone.

Qingfeng Li strode forward, stopping before the Saint-Perishing Fruit. He let the saint-level power radiating from the fruit tear apart his skin.

The power of the Saint-level fruit lacerated Qingfeng Li's skin, leaving countless wounds that spilled fresh blood. The wounds were deep enough to show bone.

Qingfeng Li felt the piercing pain. It was as if his body was being sliced apart by a thousand knives. He clenched his jaw, his hands turning into fists, as he endured the pain. At the same time, he silently activated his Mortal Purgatory Body.

The Mortal Purgatory Body was a powerful body strengthening technique that was capable of advancing to the Immortal Level. It involved the strengthened parts of the human body including the skin, muscle, meridians, tendon, bone, and organs. Ultimately, it turns the body into an indestructible entity, stronger than any other substance in existence.

Qingfeng Li could feel that, despite being torn open, his skin was undergoing a change. The torn skin was being reshaped. The old skin was wasting away while new skin took its place.

This new skin glittered with a golden light. It was as though Qingfeng Li was cast from gold, the golden gleam dancing off him with a blinding intensity and forcing those watching to turn away.

The change was not limited to his skin, Qingfeng Li's muscle, meridians, tendons and bones were all transformed to gold as well. Compared to the faint golden coloration it had previously, the color was now more dazzling, more beautiful.

Qingfeng Li felt his physique growing stronger, his power increasing. Even though he was still at the Half-Step Spirit Emperor Realm, his attack power and combat power surpassed that of the Spirit Emperor Realm.

Qingfeng Li was confident that if he were to encounter the Three-Eyed Fiend now, he could kill him with one punch. He would need only physical power. There would be no need to use any other attacks, and no need to use golden flame."

"Little one," said Dark Night Emperor with a smile. "Your Mortal Purgatory Body had a break-through. Hurry and catch the black liquid and go save the baby." His eyes held a hint of approval as they looked upon Qingfeng Li.

This Mortal Purgatory Body technique had been taught to Qingfeng Li by the Dark Night Emperor. He'd watched him gradually develop the technique, growing step-by-step. It filled his heart with boundless joy.

Once upon a time, Dark Night Emperor had also practiced this technique. But in the end, he did not succeed. His progress was also nowhere as fast as Qingfeng Li's.

Because he had the Dark Night Emperor as a teacher, along with extreme talent, comprehension and physical strength, the rate at which his Mortal Purgatory Body technique progressed was faster than even that of Dark Night Emperor long ago. His foundations were also more stable than his predecessor.

Qingfeng Li let out a breath and released a beam of golden energy. The beam pierced a large hole in the wall before flying into the clouds.

When he opened his eyes, two beams of golden light also shot from his eyes. They were like twin golden swords, piercing the heavens.

After a long moment, Qingfeng Li recalled the light in his eyes and walked up to the Saint-Perishing Fruit.

At this point, the Saint-Perishing Fruit had been completely refined. It had been transformed into a bowl of black liquid. The liquid exuded a strong aura of Saint-level energy and Heavenly Dao talisman scripts danced on its surface. This was the Saint Nectar of Hell.

The Saint Nectar of Hell was a substance that only Saints were meant to have. It was extremely valuable. If it appeared in the World of Self-Cultivators, it would no doubt cause a pandemonium.

The war between the Eastern and Western Worlds of Self-Cultivators was now in progress. If those of the Western World knew that Qingfeng Li was in possession of the Saint Nectar of Hell, they would definitely all flock to take it from him.

Even the Sky Gods up above, along with the great and mighty Angels, would not hesitate to seize it from him if they were ever to see the Saint Nectar of Hell.
