Chapter 258: Refining the Demonic me! A Surge in Power!


    ?


    A small wisp of me hovered before him, its size deceiving. Despite its small form, even a six-star Dou Saint, if careless enough to let it into their body, could be reduced to ashes. Its terrifying power was undeniable.


    "Purifying Demonic Lotus me, ranked third on the Heavenly me List. Once you''re with me, Gu Fei, your reputation will not be tarnished..." Gu Fei''s eyes fixated on the wisp of demonic me.


    As his words fell, the mes within his body began to surge wildly, forming a fiery armor on his skin. However, his usual mastery of controlling mes faltered; his mes seemed to tremble as if facing a supreme ruler.


    "Hiss!"


    Despite the trembling of his own mes, Gu Fei did not retreat. He swiftly extended his hand, reaching through the me lotus, and grabbed hold of the pinkish wisp of me.


    "Bang!"


    The moment Gu Fei''s hand touched the pink me, it expanded instantly. The raging fire engulfed his entire body in a sh.


    Under such intense heat, no sweat could even form, as any moisture would instantly evaporate.


    "Hu..."


    Even Gu Fei showed signs of pain as his body was engulfed by the demonic me. This was only bearable because of his exceptionally strong physical constitution. An ordinary five-star Dou Saint would have had their skin crack under such scorching heat, but Gu Fei''s body had already reached the durability of an ancient Dragon-Phoenix at the six-star Dou Saint level, simr to Zi Yan.


    "This is nothing that would make me back down!"


    Clenching his teeth, Gu Fei continued to channel the mes within his body, resisting the destructive heat of the Purifying Demonic Lotus me. Finally, with steely resolve, he swallowed the pink me whole.


    "Boom!"


    The moment the demonic me''s essence entered his body, an intense burning sensation surged through Gu Fei''s entire being. Even his vaunted body couldn''t withstand it, as his


    meridians, flesh, and blood began to tear apart.


    "Refine it!"


    Enduring the searing pain, Gu Fei forced himself to remain calm. His immense Dou Qi surged within him, wrapping around the demonic me essence, guiding it along his cultivation path.


    "Boom! Boom!"


    As Gu Fei''s Dou Qi refined the demonic me''s essence, the me struggled violently. Fortunately, Gu Fei''s Dou Qi had a natural suppressive effect on heavenly mes. Moreover, his current strength was at the five-star Dou Saint level, and with the aid of the Ninth-Tier Nine Yin Yellow Spring Pill, the demonic me had already been weakened.


    After much difficulty, Gu Fei finally seeded in guiding the essence of the demonic me through his meridians, allowing its energy to flow. With each cycle of refinement, his strength surged, as the energy contained within the Demonic me was immeasurable.


    The massive fireball floating in the air pulsed, sending out waves of fiery energy. Though the absorption process seemed slow at first, as the demonic me weakened and Gu Fei grew stronger, the pace naturally quickened.


    "Rumble!"


    As the demonic me began to be refined, dark clouds of energy swirled overhead. The magma sea below churned wildly. But Gu Fei paid no mind to the changes around him, fully immersed in the overwhelming feeling of his rapidly advancing cultivation.


    The boundless energy, like a flood, coursed through his meridians, flesh, and bones, filling him with an indescribable sensation of power.


    ...


    Meanwhile, outside the Demonic me Space, Zi Yan continued to wait. Even after a month had passed, she had not moved from her spot. Although this time was shorterpared to other instances, the loneliness she felt was magnified. In previous sessions, Gu Fei was at least nearby, visible, but now she could only rely on the dragon seal to sense whether he was alive.


    "Brother Gu Fei, you must not have anything happen to you!" Zi Yan prayed in her heart.


    Not long after, Xiao Yi Xian arrived at the scene, joining Zi Yan in waiting for Gu Fei. "He will be fine!" Xiao Yi Xian forced a smile, trying tofort Zi Yan but also to reassure herself. With her arrival, the wait became a little less lonely for Zi Yan.


    The area around them, once a mountain range, had been melted into a sea of magma by the demonic me. Now, with the me sealed, the magma had solidified into a t in.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Despite being ravaged by the demonic me, thend had be a hotspot for treasure seekers. A type of crystal stone, imbued with fiery energy, had been discovered here and dubbed "Demonic me Rock". Though the remnants of the demonic me within were diluted thousands of times, they were still considered valuable treasures for fire attribute cultivators and alchemists.


    In the two years following the demonic me''s rampage, the area had attracted many factions, all vying for control of the Demonic me Rock. Among them, the Hall of Souls had imed thergest territory, bullying other factions into submission.


    However, they dared not approach the area where Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian were located. That area was regarded as a forbidden zone, a ce that even the Soul Hall''s master, Hun Miesheng, had warned against approaching.
