Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

He then calmed himself down and silently mobilized his inner power to continue igniting the flame.

Gradually, Wuxin discovered that the flames of the Blazing Soul Flame were not simply something that could help him resist the waters of the Styx.

The resentment of the dead souls that entered the body with the waters of the River Styx was also burned away by the divine fire, turning into strands of purer spiritual energy that were absorbed by the body.

That's why he felt much more comfortable in his mind and will. It wasn't just that the divine fire had blocked the resentment, but also that the power to transform the resentment had been fed back to him.

"nice one!"

Wu Xin's eyes lit up, and he focused even more intently on activating the fire.

As the resentment of the departed souls within him was burned away by the divine fire, Wu Xin greedily absorbed the pure spiritual energy generated after the resentment was extinguished.

He could clearly feel that his mental strength was steadily increasing at a visible speed, even faster than when he was cultivating in the Holy Domain, as if he had taken a powerful tonic.

As the resentment within him was continuously cleared, his mental state improved, and he was able to mobilize more and more of his inner universe, which naturally enhanced the effect of activating the divine fire.

At first, the divine fire could only cover the right hand, then the right arm, then half the body, and finally even the entire body.

Despite being eroded by the waters of the River Styx, Wu Xin not only did not die, but instead became even stronger.

After receiving the nectar from the Lady in Black Veil, his strength was already close to 700,000 times the speed of sound, and now he is getting closer and closer to the peak.

It probably won't be long before he can reach the peak of his sixth sense by absorbing and purifying the spiritual power of the resentment of the dead.

Chapter 102 Tempering by Water and Fire (Part 2)

No one knows how much time passed, but Wuxin drifted along the River Styx and entered the deeper parts of Hell.

He had no idea where he had ended up.

Looking around, all that could be seen was darkness; apart from the faint glow of its own microcosm, there was no other light to be seen.

Not only was it dark, but apart from the sound of the River Styx flowing, there was no other sound around, as if everything had been swallowed up by darkness, leaving only this surging River Styx.

But the River Styx is no longer the same as it was originally.

It flowed through the entire underworld, naturally absorbing the endless decay along the way.

In other words, the corrosive power of the River Styx grows stronger with each hell it flows through.

By the time they arrived here, the erosion caused by the Styx River had far exceeded that of when Wuxin had just fallen into the water.

Even though he kept urging the Blazing Heart Flame to help him resist, he still felt a lot of pressure.

He could clearly feel his flesh and blood rapidly dissolving under the erosion of the Styx River, but under the protection of the Blazing Heart Flame, the erosion of the Styx River was quickly driven away, and with the healing effect of the Moonlit Holy Water, his flesh and blood quickly recovered.

And so, his flesh and blood continued to cycle between decay and rebirth.

At the same time, after absorbing a large amount of purified resentment, his mental will had reached the peak of his sixth sense.

Because of this, his ability to utilize the Blazing Soul Flame has temporarily reached its limit, and he can no longer improve it. This is also why he feels increasingly strained to resist the erosion of the Styx River.

It's not that the Blazing Heart Flame is ineffective, but rather that he can only utilize the Divine Fire Seed to this extent for the time being.

It's time to leave!

Wu Xin resolved to escape from the River Styx.

With the help of the Styx River water and the Blazing Heart Flame, he has temporarily reached his limit and regained some of his mobility. There is not much point in staying any longer, especially now that the Styx River water is becoming increasingly corrosive.

He then forced himself to adjust his body despite the pain and swam with all his might toward the riverbank.

Soon, he swam to the riverbank and found a protruding rock. Using it for leverage, Wuxin immediately began to climb upwards.

"Waaaaah—"

But at that moment, the previously calm waters of the River Styx suddenly began to churn violently, and a series of piercing, mournful howls emanated from the water.

Immediately afterwards, divine chains materialized out of thin air in the River Styx, directly entering his body as if they had grown into his flesh and blood, and tightly gripping his body, preventing him from climbing any further.

"how so???"

Faced with such a sudden change, Wuxin was greatly alarmed.

But he soon realized that this was the result of his refining and absorbing the power of the Styx River.

Although the Blazing Soul Flame protected him, allowing him to refine a large amount of Styx power and become stronger, it also caused him to become increasingly entangled with the Styx and begin to assimilate into it.

Therefore, when he wanted to leave the River Styx, he was naturally restrained and hindered by the River Styx.

"This won't do, I can't stay here! I have to leave!"

He gritted his teeth, gripped the rocks on the riverbank, and climbed upwards with all his might.

However, those divine chains tightly bound his bones and muscles, making it impossible for him to move even half a step.

Even as he struggled to climb, he felt a strong tearing pain from the pull of the divine chains, as if he would be torn to pieces by the chains at any moment due to excessive force.

"It must be cut off!"

Wu Xin immediately turned around, raised his palm into a knife, concentrated the power of his universe in his hand, and forcefully slashed down at the divine chains on his body.

Swish!

The strike missed its mark, failing to touch the divine chains in the slightest. It merely struck the River Styx, causing water to splash everywhere.

"An invisible lock?"

Wu Xin was speechless.

But then he thought of a new idea.

He activated the Blazing Soul Flame, concentrating its power on one of the divine chains.

It is believed that with the power of divine fire, such divine chains should be able to be incinerated.

However, as time passed, the section of the divine chain scorched by the divine fire did not change at all.

"This is impossible!" Wu Xin was completely stunned.

That is the natal fire of a god, possessing incredible power.

Although his abilities are not yet sufficient to fully utilize them, he is definitely extraordinary.

In particular, he already has a record of using divine fire to refine the waters of the Styx River for cultivation.

But the facts were right in front of him, and Wuxin had no choice but to accept this terrible truth.

"Even divine fire cannot burn them, so how can I break these chains?" Wu Xin's mood sank to the bottom.

If he cannot break these chains, it means he cannot leave the River Styx, and if he cannot leave the River Styx, it means he will continue to suffer from its erosion.

Although he can barely hold on for now, as time goes by, he will eventually face the fate of being dissolved by the waters of the River Styx.

Thinking of this, he checked the amount of Moon Essence Water stored in the Giant Saint Cloth.

"Only one-tenth left, not much!" he couldn't help but exclaim.

Divine fire can lessen the corrosive effects of the Styx River on the body, but it cannot restore the body's health. Therefore, the Holy Water of the Moon, which can heal injuries, became one of the keys to his ability to immerse himself in the Styx River for a long time.

Once the holy water of the moonlight is exhausted, the outcome is predictable.

"How to do?"

Wu Xin fell into deep thought.

Just then, a soft rustling sound came from not far away.

Because the environment here was so quiet, the rustling sound was especially clear to Wuxin's ears.

He pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Swish!

As the sound grew closer, he gradually realized it sounded like footsteps.

An unknown entity has arrived.

Considering his own safety, Wu Xin did not speak rashly, and withdrew the radiance of his inner universe before carefully sinking into the river.

He used his spiritual senses across the River Styx to investigate the situation on the riverbank.

With the sound of footsteps, a faint light appeared in the darkness.

As they drew closer, the faint light grew brighter, and a man dressed in purple armor appeared on the banks of the River Styx.

"I thought it was just my imagination, but it turns out there really is a lost little lamb stranded here!" The man looked at the middle of the river with a half-smile, his gaze seemingly piercing through the murky waters of the River Styx.

"Come out, you can't hide from my senses!" he said smugly to the river, and used his cosmic diffusion sound waves.

In that instant, even though he was hidden at the bottom of the river, Wu Xin still received the spreading sound waves and clearly heard the man's voice.

Who are you?

He slowly emerged from the river and solemnly asked the man on the bank.

The opponent's purple battle suit was similar to the Hades Cloth, but it did not contain the pure aura of death that the Hades Cloth possessed. Based on this, he concluded that the opponent was not a Hades Warrior.

Chapter 103 Chase in the Water

"Who I am is none of your business!"

"All you need to know is that this is not a place for you!"

"Next, you'd better pray that you can give me enough pleasure, otherwise, I'll make you experience what it means to wish you were dead!"

The man then extended his right hand, from which a purple cosmic glow appeared, which then materialized into an even larger hand that reached out to grab Wuxin.

"The Seventh Sense!!!"

Based on the move the other party revealed, Wu Xin immediately judged that the man in front of him had reached the level of the seventh sense, comparable to a Gold Saint.

He never expected that in such a strange place, he would randomly encounter someone who was also a fighter who had reached the seventh sense. It was truly surprising and unexpected.

However, the other party seemed to have ill intentions, and Wuxin dared not let them capture her.

He ducked into the water, instantly escaping the large hand's grasp.

Whoosh!

The large hand grasped at nothing, only creating ripples on the river's surface.

"Don't waste your energy, you can't escape my grasp!" The man snorted coldly, withdrew his large hand, and then unleashed his inner power, pointing a finger at the river surface.
