Seven days later.Samuel's shut eyes opened. He looked at his body. His clothes had been burned to ashes, and he was completely naked. He sat up calmly. He had finally succeeded in refining the flame. Its information appeared in his mind.Solarheart Flame, the ultimate flame of purification. Burns away corruption, curses, poison, and darkness.Now he understood why the flames had burned away his impurities at first. But regardless, every heavenly flame was still a flame, and without an owner, it could only do one thing: burn anything to ashes.But this cauldron was built with special properties that managed to use the flame's powers to refine living creatures into a pill."How far had I grown?" He flexed his body. His Qi had only grown by a level, putting him at the second level of the Nascent Realm, and his soul was at the second level of Soul Manifestation.But his body cultivation was where he had improved the most. He had finally reached the fourth level of the Golden Kun Supreme

Samuel was hurled into the massive cauldron. Just before he disappeared inside, he heard Nina's frantic voice calling his name. He had hoped she wouldn't come back after being blasted out of the temple. She should have escaped while she still had the chance.The heavy lid slammed shut with a deafening clang.An instant later, a terrifying wave of heat engulfed him.It wasn't ordinary fire. Every inch of his body felt as though it were being melted alive. The searing pain invaded his flesh, blood, bones, and even his soul. Raising his head with great difficulty, he finally saw the source.A radiant golden flame burned silently at the heart of the cauldron.The moment the flames wrapped around him, streams of black impurities seeped from his pores before being incinerated into nothingness. His body was being forcibly refined.The agony was beyond words.Samuel had endured countless tortures within the crystal space, but this pain was no less horrifying. If anything, it surpassed them in

"Get out of here immediately," he said urgently as he pushed Nina away."No, I can never leave you. Not in the face of danger. Never." She sobbed, refusing to move."Touching to see," Ozzai chuckled."But don't worry. I won't be killing her just yet. She's going to witness her man being turned into a pill and consumed."Ozzai laughed. Fire spears formed all around him before shooting toward them with terrifying speed.Samuel grabbed Nina and rolled across the ground, narrowly dodging the barrage. One of the spears grazed his back, sending a sharp burst of pain through his entire body. He gritted his teeth and forced himself back onto his feet."Stay here, away from the battle, even if you're going to stay. Otherwise, you're just going to get me killed," he said seriously before pushing Nina away.She stumbled and fell into a corner of the temple. Samuel immediately turned back, twisting his body aside as another attack tore past him.He knew full well that simply remaining on the defe

Samuel and Nina stood before the huge door."I can feel a strange energy coming from here," he said, his gaze fixed on the door hinges."Do you think it's something dangerous?" Nina asked worriedly."I don't know. But I think we should be more careful." He stepped forward cautiously before pushing the door open.A grandiose temple appeared before them, its vast interior stretching into the darkness. Yet, there was no one inside. They both walked in, their footsteps echoing faintly through the enormous hall."It's fairly empty," Nina observed. "But I feel like we are being watched.""I feel the same."Samuel paused beside the statue and casually surveyed the temple. His eyes moved across the towering pillars, the empty corridors, and the walls before finally settling on the huge cauldron at the side of the temple."This cauldron doesn't look ordinary at all," he noted with a frown.But he didn't move toward it."Since you find it interesting, why don't we go and check it?" Nina asked,

Samuel was really happy he had come here. They had found a great number of valuable herbs and other treasures, including precious stones that could be used for blacksmithing.Aside from occasionally fighting off Giant Head Lizards, they hadn't encountered many problems. At the moment, they were inside a massive temple, taking everything of value they could find."This place is incredible." Nina laughed as she opened a box. It was a storage artifact that preserved anything placed inside it. Samuel's eyes lit up the moment he recognized what it was."What can I say? They're practically handing me everything I need to build an army. At this rate, I won't hold back when it's time to deal with Urgabas." He chuckled."I still think you should focus on becoming stronger yourself," Nina said. "If your own strength reaches a high enough level, you'll be able to enforce your will. Fighting the Urgabas won't be nearly as difficult.""You're not wrong," Samuel admitted.Before long, they had fini

Tibeth woke with a throbbing headache. As his vision cleared, his gaze fell on a huge ginger-like herb lying beside him. He casually pushed it aside, and the sharp rattle of metal echoed through the room.Only then did he look down and realize he was chained.The chain ran from his arm to his waist, yet it did not truly restrain his movements. He could still stand, walk, and move freely without much difficulty.He frowned in confusion.What was the purpose of the chain?Sitting up, he carefully surveyed the room. The giant old woman sat beside an enormous pot nearly four feet long, its contents bubbling softly as steam curled into the air. Beside her stood a man, adding ingredients one after another while following her instructions.Tibeth immediately recognized him.It was Victor."What are you doing, Victor?" he demanded angrily as he tugged at the chain wrapped around him.Then his expression changed.He could not channel his energy.The chain sealed his energy completely, and the
