"Well……"

I let out a low groan, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of my mouth.

It hurts too much.

This pain was even ten times more intense than when I used my evil energy to stitch up my left arm.

Wherever the lightning passed, the meridians seemed to be instantly scorched.

But then, the mercury-like evil energy with its jade-like luster will surge up again, forcibly repairing the scorched meridians.

Destruction and repair cycle endlessly within me.

I know that if I let them continue to clash like this, I will eventually be worn down.

I forced myself to endure the excruciating pain that was tearing my soul apart, and focused my attention on the space between my eyebrows.

With a thought, a cool breeze instantly descended.

It transformed into a cool, clear stream, protecting my mind and heart, allowing me to remain absolutely clear-headed amidst this extreme pain.

"Knot!"

I let out a low growl in my heart.

With my keen control over the malevolent energy, I forcefully mobilized the vast amount of mercury-like malevolent energy within my dantian, causing it to crush and engulf that unruly wisp of thunder and fire.

Layer upon layer of malevolent energy enveloped the thunder and fire.

Thunder and fire struggled frantically, trying to burn through the encirclement of malevolent energy.

But I didn't care and just kept compressing it frantically!

Compress, and compress again.

During this process, the pure Yang energy contained within the thunder and fire begins to gradually merge into the pure Yin energy.

Two forces that were originally incompatible finally underwent a wonderful chemical reaction when they reached an extremely close critical point.

Extreme yin gives rise to yang, yin and yang converge.

I don't know how much time passed; maybe it was a few hours, maybe just a few minutes.

As the last wisp of lightning was completely compressed into the core of the evil energy, a strange tremor suddenly came from my dantian.

All the pain, swelling, and tearing sensation receded like a tide in that instant.

Instead, there is an unprecedented sense of ease and power!

I slowly looked inward.

The mercury-like malevolent energy that had filled his dantian had disappeared.

In the very center of the dantian, a bead the size of a soybean floats quietly!

Its entire body presents an extremely deep and dark color, with a warm and lustrous jade-like sheen flowing across its surface.

Beneath that jade-like color, a faint, extremely fine dark golden lightning pattern flickered.

Kill the pill!

This is the evil pill formed by using thunder and fire as the core, and condensing extreme yin to generate yang!

Although it was only the size of a soybean, I could clearly feel that the quality and explosive power of the evil energy contained within it were several times stronger than when I was at the half-step evil core stage!

Moreover, because it incorporated a trace of thunder and fire from the Nine Nether Thunderstruck Wood Heart, my malevolent energy gained an additional attribute that specifically countered evil spirits.

I succeeded.

I let out a long breath and opened my eyes.

The room was still dark, but everything around me became incredibly clear in my eyes.

I can see even the fine dust floating in the air, and even the trajectory of the energy flow in the array.

I looked down at my palm.

The core of the Nine Nether Lightning-Struck Wood had completely lost its luster and turned into an ordinary piece of rotten wood.

With a slight exertion of force, the lightning-struck wood core instantly turned into a pool of black powder.

I dusted the powder off my hands and stood up.

The bones emitted a crisp sound like popping beans, and with the support of the Shaking Mountain Force, it seemed that it was only one step away from reaching the Great Perfection.

I walked up to the alloy door and reached out to press the switch on it.

"drop--"

The heavy alloy door slid open slowly to both sides.

Outside the door, Li Qing was leaning against the monitoring console smoking, with cigarette butts scattered all over the ground at his feet.

Jin Wanliang paced back and forth in the narrow passageway, like an ant on a hot pan.

Upon seeing the door open, the two turned their heads simultaneously.

Li Qing's eyes instantly became extremely sharp. He didn't even ask a question, but instead took out a small compass from his pocket and quickly made a calculation with one hand.

The next second, the compass needle in his hand began to spin wildly, emitting a mournful buzzing sound.

"Depend on……"

Li Qing frantically pressed down on the compass, looking at me as if I were a monster.

"Damn it, with your current aura... if there weren't an array to block it, all the wandering ghosts within a ten-mile radius would be scared out of their wits."

Jin Wanliang let out a long sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and grinned from his chubby face into a wide smile.

"Did it work?"

I smiled, nodded, and spoke in my usual calm voice.

"It's done. Thank you, both protectors."

My voice wasn't loud, but it resounded like thunder in the quiet basement.

"Holy shit!"

Li Qing suddenly jumped up and rushed to me in three steps, circling me twice as if I were an alien.

"Did you break through to the Dan realm at the age of twenty-two?! Did you just fly by?!"

If those old men from Longhu Mountain and Maoshan Mountain knew about this, they'd probably be so ashamed they'd all hang themselves!

Jin Wanliang laughed heartily: "Hahahaha! Good! Good indeed!"

Brother Chen, I've really seen something new today!

With your Dan realm cultivation level to keep things in check, I, Old Jin, will be able to walk sideways in Jiangcheng from now on!

"Don't be so happy yet."

I waved my hand.

"I just broke through, and my realm is still unstable."

Moreover, this force is far more ferocious than I imagined. I need to find a place to test it out and familiarize myself with its current state.

"The underground space is too small, and the load-bearing structure cannot be damaged."

Li Qing immediately understood what I meant, and he pointed to the top of his head.

"Let's go up there. There's nobody around this abandoned factory for kilometers, so you can do whatever you want with it."

Following Li Qing's words, the three of us returned to the ground.

It was already past four in the morning, and the sky was still dark.

The abandoned factory was overgrown with weeds, filled with rusty machines and collapsed red brick walls, exuding an atmosphere of desolation and decay.

I walked to a relatively open concrete area in the center of the factory and took a deep breath of the slightly cool early morning air.

"You all step back a bit."

I turned to Li Qing and Jin Wanliang and said.

Li Qing pulled Jin Wanliang back to an abandoned platform a few dozen meters away, and didn't forget to take out a few talismans and stick them around to set up a simple defensive formation.

I closed my eyes, and a thought flickered in my mind.

Inside the dantian, the dark jade-colored evil pill suddenly stopped spinning.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely powerful aura of malevolent energy, carrying a hint of dark golden lightning and fire, swept over my limbs and bones like a flood bursting its banks.

"Buzz—"

I didn't intentionally release that murderous aura.

But even a wisp of aura that naturally emanated from the body as the malevolent energy circulated within me caused the air temperature within a ten-meter radius around me to plummet.

I opened my eyes and looked down at my hands.

Because my "Mountain-Shaking Strength" has vaguely reached the threshold of mastery, my muscle lines are not exaggerated, but they exude a kind of toughness like refined steel.

At this moment, under the infusion of the Sha Dan's internal energy, a very faint jade-colored luster appeared on the surface of my skin.
