Yun Che casually checked his injuries, then concentrated his mind and walked towards the Netherworld Udumbara Flower.
The four petals released an extremely strange and dreamy purple light. When it approached within fifty feet, the feeling of the soul being pulled by an invisible hand came clearly. Yun Che stopped, took a deep breath, and said calmly: "Jasmine, don't worry. I am not stupid enough to die without knowing my own abilities, not to mention that my life is connected to yours. I was almost torn apart by the Netherworld Udumbara Flower before, mainly because I had never experienced its horror and was not prepared enough."
"Now I roughly know how it leaves its soul. Plus, it only has four petals left now, so it's not as scary as before. If I try with all my strength, I may succeed. I also have the Sky Poison Pearl, so as long as I can get close to it, I can easily pick it."
"If the end result is a complete failure and I feel hopeless, I will give up."
“Hmph!” Jasmine said angrily, “Anyway, no matter how much I try to stop you, it’s useless. I don’t want to bother with you anymore! When you’re tortured to death later, don’t blame me for not reminding you many times!”
"I see."
Yun Che’s hands slowly clenched, and his brows were furrowed to the point where they almost stood upside down… He was sure that he would never forget the horror of being possessed by the Netherworld Udumbara Flower. When he thought of it now, his entire soul still trembled uncontrollably, and there was even a strong fear growing in his heart.
If what was placed in front of him was a rare treasure, a peerless mysterious weapon, or a divine crystal weighing ten thousand pounds, he would turn around without hesitation and would not even take another look at it... He would never want to experience the pain of having his soul separated from him again.
But what is in front of him is the Netherworld Udumbara Flower... the only Netherworld Udumbara Flower in the world.
“I will succeed!”
"Oh!!"
Yun Che whispered softly, and with a low shout, his entire body burst into flames. He suddenly soared into the air and pounced towards the Netherworld Udumbara Flower with all his strength.
When he was close to the Netherworld Udumbara Flower and endured its soul-leaving power before, all the strength in his body collapsed instantly... So this time, he wanted to try to use the inertia under the extreme speed to rush directly in front of the Netherworld Udumbara Flower in an instant.
bite……
The dark purple light in front of him grew larger, and the whole world suddenly lost its voice. Then, countless cold steel needles pierced his soul frantically, and countless cold hands from the depths of the abyss desperately tore at every corner of his soul...
BANG!!
Yun Che fell fiercely from the air, the flames on his body completely extinguished, and the immense pain of his soul being torn apart and pulled out caused his facial features, limbs, and body to completely spasm. Every cell and every hair was trembling and twisting in pain.
He gritted his teeth hard and tried not to cry out. Under the tremendous pain, his vision became blurred, but he was still able to clearly capture the unusually bright purple light, which was about fifteen feet away from him.
It was also this purple light that supported his will, which was almost devoured. He supported his body and moved a step towards the direction of the purple light...
Just this short step of closing... In an instant, the thousands of steel needles turned into thousands of blades...
"ah!!!!"
Yun Che risked his life to kill the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord, and was severely injured to the point of being almost shattered to pieces, but he did not even scream in pain. But at this moment, Yun Che let out a blood-soaked scream. One step closer was like stepping from hell into hell within hell. He felt his soul and body being torn into thousands and tens of thousands of pieces in an instant. The pain was beyond the limit of what Yun Che could bear, and even beyond Yun Che's understanding of pain...
And the huge fear that arises madly from this pain!
Fear instantly swallowed up all of Yun Che’s will and courage to continue moving forward. His twisted body reacted instinctively, and he rolled and crawled backwards.
Every time he retreated a little, the pain of his soul being cut and pulled out would quickly weaken. With a clear will, he would naturally regain more control over his strength. Yun Che stumbled backwards, and rolled on the ground for several rounds, finally retreating to a distance he could bear. He knelt on his knees, supported himself on the ground with his arms, and gasped for breath. Sweat poured down from his head like rain, and the ground between his arms was completely wet in an instant.
“Ah…ah…ah…ah…”
The violent panting and trembling of the whole body continued for more than ten breaths without stopping. At this moment, Yun Che felt as if he had just endured a round of the cruelest torture in the world... No! That kind of pain was much more terrible than any torture he could imagine.
He turned his head and raised his pale face to look at the place he had reached before. There, he was only fifteen feet away from the Netherworld Udumbara Flower. There, he felt the limit of what he could endure. And if he took one more step, just a small step... he could no longer endure it.
He simply couldn't imagine how terrifying the hell would be if he took another step forward. What kind of horrible world would be within one step of the Netherworld Udumbara Flower.
Fifteen feet... To him normally, it was just an insignificant distance.
But here, it feels longer and more desperate than tens of millions of miles.
Every step brings you to an abyss... Every step brings you to a chasm!
“Are you… okay?” Jasmine’s voice was filled with worry, but she seemed to have noticed this and immediately snorted, “Humph! This is the result of overestimating your own abilities! I say it again, the Netherworld Udumbara Flower is simply not something that people of your level can get close to! As for the pain of having your soul captured, you’ve already felt it for the second time! Frankly speaking, the fact that you didn’t collapse is already quite impressive. Because this kind of pain, not to mention you, even I… even the legendary gods, can’t bear it!”
After Jasmine finished speaking, Yun Che had already stood up again, and then turned around, still looking in the direction of the Netherworld Udumbara Flower. However, this time, his eyes did not have the same determination as before, but instead, there was a strong sense of fear.
Over the years, Yun Che had not been without fear—unbearable pressure, approaching death, irresistible natural forces...
But for the first time, he was terrified by the "pain".
Snap!
The bones of two fingers on Yun Che’s left hand were broken by him… but his pale face did not twitch at all, because compared with the pain of having his soul captured just now, this pain was nothing like a mosquito bite or an insect sting.
He raised his feet and walked towards the Netherworld Udumbara Flower step by step.
"What are you going to do?" His actions shocked Jasmine. She knew the terrible pain Yun Che had just endured, and she also felt the fear that this pain brought to him. She thought Yun Che would never try to get close to the Netherworld Udumbara Flower again... maybe he wouldn't even dare to look at it again, but he actually... approached it again!
"I haven't... failed yet!" Yun Che said heavily. And the words he uttered at this moment still carried a little tremor of fear!
"You...you still don't give up!? You won't cry even if you see a coffin!" Jasmine shouted angrily.
"This Netherworld Udumbara Flower... it's right in front of me, only twenty feet away from me! If I lose the courage to continue trying because of such a small obstacle, how can I face you in the future...!"
"Me!?" Jasmine was startled... "Just a little bit of hindrance"? It was more than just a "little bit" of hindrance! The pain of the body is focused on the soul, and the pain of the soul is simply incomparable to the pain of the body. Jasmine had also endured the real pain of the soul when she accepted the inheritance of the mysterious power of the Heavenly Killing Star, so she knew what kind of pain it was! As strong as she was, her soul would tremble every time she thought of it, and she would never have the courage to endure it a second time in this life!
But Yun Che, for this incomplete Netherworld Udumbara flower, had to endure it for the third time! !
Yun Che did not wait for Jasmine’s response. He roared and rushed towards the Netherworld Udumbara Flower again amidst Jasmine’s subconscious screams of shock.
Fifteen feet...
Still at the same distance, Yun Che’s entire body’s strength dissipated, and he fell to the ground in agony. He stared wide-eyed as if he was about to burst, clenched his teeth as if they were about to break at any moment, and roared as he took a large step forward.
“Uooa ...
The heart-wrenching screams spread to every corner of the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave, so shrill that the stones on the ground trembled. Yun Che could not describe the soul-tearing pain at that moment, and he even had the terrible thought of killing himself immediately to escape this pain.
All that was infused into his body, his remaining will, and his remaining strength was “escape”…escape at all costs! Amidst the continuous screams, Yun Che’s body was also tumbling in spasms…When he regained consciousness and was clear enough, he had already rolled twenty feet away.
Yun Che's face turned even paler, and his entire body curled up there and trembled like a dying insect, with a pool of cold sweat slowly spreading under his body. He gritted his teeth tightly... This time, it took a full thirty breaths for his body to stop shaking.
"That's enough. Don't try again. No matter how many times I tell you, you won't succeed. You'll only suffer in vain!" This time, Jasmine didn't scold him again. Her words were faintly trembling. She was absolutely sure that even a person with a strong will would be haunted by nightmares for the rest of his life if he endured the pain of soul-stealing. He wouldn't even dare to think about it. But Yun Che... forced himself to pounce on her again and again.
And he fought so hard, even stepping into the abyss that even gods feared, not for his own selfish desires... but for her!!
Back then, in the Primordial Profound Ark, under the spatial storm, Yun Che endured extreme physical pain. He was able to hold on, Jasmine praised him and was not too surprised. But compared to the pain of the soul... the difference in level is completely! !
To forcibly rip the soul from the body... is a million times more painful than to have all the bones and blood pulled out one by one!
