Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 224 - 222: That’s It?

You really think this would scare me?

You really think this could make me wish I were dead?

You really think this would make me beg for mercy?

Xu Yang lowered his head slightly, a teasing glint flashing in his eyes.

This Black Water Insect Prison certainly sounds terrifying; if what they say is true, the dual torture of body and spirit is even more dreadful than being thrown into the Purple Fire Celestial Prison Forbidden Land, truly enough to intimidate.

But what power do these have before the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod and Celestial Refining Divine Scripture?

Just as Zheng Qi was supremely confident in the power of the Black Water Insect Prison, Xu Yang was infinitely confident in the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod and Celestial Refining Divine Scripture!

Such a legacy, such an artifact—already beyond what the Great Qian Heaven and Earth could ever envision!

"Xu Yang, according to the Hall Master’s orders, you’ll be locked in the third cell area of the Black Water Insect Prison. Without a Myriad Phenomena Realm cultivation, within half a month you’ll certainly die!"

"If you kneel and beg me now, I might intercede for you, and find a somewhat more comfortable spot for you in the third cell area!"

Zheng Qi gazed at Xu Yang, full of smugness.

He’d already decided.

As soon as Xu Yang kneeled and begged him, he’d respond, "Beg me? Are you even worthy?"!

He had to thoroughly humiliate Xu Yang to vent the anger in his heart!

But instead, Xu Yang raised his head and gave Zheng Qi a compassionate glance, then turned and walked straight out of the hall.

Zheng Qi’s face froze: "You..."

"Refuse the wine offered, want the penalty wine instead? Get ready to die!"

He snarled furiously.

But Xu Yang had already left the hall.

"Wait."

Gon Lang furrowed his brow, striding out quickly.

"Use that disguise technique of yours and cover up." Gon Lang caught up with Xu Yang and barked coldly.

Xu Yang raised an eyebrow, then let out a helpless laugh.

Wuhou Hall is truly afraid of being seen after this, losing all their face!

He didn’t mind, activated the Transformation Skill, and changed his appearance!

And so, the group left together.

In the hall.

Bai Jingxue’s pretty face was full of concern: "Father, what do we do?"

"The Black Water Insect Prison..."

Mr. Bai’s face hardened, gritting his teeth: "The Hall Master of Wuhou Hall said it personally, there’s no way to change it; even if we could persuade that one, it’d likely be impossible!"

"That one..." Bai Song’s heart gave a start, instantly understanding who the Clan Leader meant.

"But judging by Mr. Xu’s reaction, he should have some method to resist the corrosion of the Black Water Insect Prison." Mr. Bai found it unbelievable himself, but recalling Xu Yang’s reaction in the hall, there wasn’t an ounce of fear.

If he wasn’t confident, how would he dare?

These words eased some anxiety in everyone’s hearts, yet nobody could feel truly relieved.

"Mr. Xu is truly righteous."

Bai Song sighed with emotion.

Hearing this, everyone else couldn’t help but show complicated expressions!

Xu Yang didn’t even have to get himself involved!

Yet he still stood up!

He helped the Bai Family weather their greatest crisis, while putting himself in peril!

"Prepare for the worst. Though this disaster is past, our Bai Family must make some sacrifices too." Mr. Bai looked deeply at Bai Song.

Bai Song understood, and nodded solemnly.

"Clan Leader, where are you headed?"

"To the Governor’s Estate!"

...

Wuhou Hall.

Black Water Insect Prison.

"Vice Hall Master Gon, why are you here?"

The prison warden saw Gon Lang and Zheng Qi and was taken aback.

Gon Lang pointed at Xu Yang: "This is Xu Yang. By Hall Master’s order, toss him into the third cell area for five days!"

"What? Xu Yang?"

The warden stared at Xu Yang in disbelief.

The whole Wuhou Hall knew this name—who didn’t know him?

He’d actually been captured?

"Heh, so you’re Xu Yang? Doesn’t look all that remarkable." The warden sized up Xu Yang, unable to believe this was the brat who’d embarrassed Wuhou Hall so badly.

Xu Yang replied coolly: "I’m actually Huang Wu!"

Gon Lang’s facial muscles twitched, and he simply turned away and left.

"What did you say?"

The warden cried out in shock: "You’re Huang Wu? Impossible!"

After two breaths, his face turned dark, silent and wordless!

He admitted it himself, so what’s impossible?

Nothing remarkable, huh?

The warden now only wanted to slap himself for running his mouth.

Listening to that really made him uncomfortable!

If this gets out...

The warden’s eyes flared with anger; he shot Xu Yang a vicious glare and sneered, "Little bastard, how dare you toy with our Wuhou Hall—go in and enjoy!"

With that, he grabbed Xu Yang and casually tossed him into the insect prison!

Bang!

He landed in a cell full of black water, yet not a single splash was made, only a faint ripple appeared.

One drop of water, heavy as ten thousand mountains!

Xu Yang quickly looked around.

The cell was dim; everywhere he looked, black water nearly as tall as a man spread lifelessly.

The air had no Spiritual Qi, with a faint, unsettling energy shrouding everything.

Restrictions in place—no flight!

Meaning, anyone locked inside could only stay in the black water.

Hiss!

Xu Yang’s body shuddered, sucking in a breath!

A wave of intense pain came crashing in.

The black water, still and silent, imposed crushing pressure, corroding the flesh!

And it kept getting stronger.

Within moments, Xu Yang found it hard to breathe.

A flicker of shadow flashed before his eyes.

"Demon Insect?"

Xu Yang’s pupils shrank, staring at the nimble demon insect floating on the water. It was barely the size of his pinkie, unaffected by the heavy water, darting toward him at lightning speed.

Swoosh!

Xu Yang summoned the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod with a thought.

As the demon insect attacked, he enveloped it instantly!

"Refine for me!"

Xu Yang’s eyes sharpened fiercely, activating the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod, black flames surging up.

Sizzle!!

After ten breaths.

The black demon insect was refined into a stream of Purest Essence Qi!

Seeing this, Xu Yang let out a sigh of relief.

The demon insect threat was completely eliminated!

"This heavy water..."

Xu Yang frowned slightly—he could bear the pressure for now, but it was still mounting rapidly. If this kept up with his flesh... Time to try the Celestial Refining Divine Scripture!

Xu Yang closed his eyes slightly, channeling the Celestial Refining Divine Scripture!

As time passed, his body trembled non-stop, battered inside and out, but he barely managed to withstand the pressure of the heavy water.

His flesh and blood were tempered with terrifying intensity at the core!

"It really works!"

"Heavy water can’t temper the body?"

Xu Yang curled his lips, a cold sneer on his face.

Though the pressure was terrifying, as long as he kept running the Celestial Refining Divine Scripture, with a steady supply of Purest Essence Qi, he could endure five days easily.

By then, his fleshly body would see an enormous improvement!

The threat of demon insects was gone.

Only demon shadows left!

As for demon shadows, Xu Yang feared them even less!

Not to mention his spiritual power was already tenacious and mighty, plus with the Lock God Seal, he had nothing to fear!

At a certain moment.

Xu Yang’s eyes turned dark golden, suddenly sweeping to one side.

The black water suddenly twisted, as a strange demon shadow seeped out slowly.

In the dim light, it looked vaguely humanoid, but utterly lacked the traits of any human, murky and indistinct.

Yet with its appearance, the cell’s atmosphere grew even more sinister, bone-chilling!

Xu Yang watched the demon shadow expressionlessly.

The demon shadow slowly turned, as if locking onto Xu Yang, then—’swoosh’—darted toward him like lightning.

"Lock God Seal!"

This Lock God Seal is not the usual Lock God Seal!

Xu Yang’s spiritual power erupted, madly weaving chains of spiritual energy in midair, crossing and interlacing, then slamming straight toward the attacking demon shadow.
