As Ye Chen rushed out, the whole world was torn apart. He was furious. He took a step forward and punched out. His fist penetrated the Bloodthirsty Scaled Bull and tore its huge body into pieces.
A rain of blood fell from the sky.
Ye Chen was bathed in the rain of blood. His black hair was disheveled. He was like a ferocious beast, gasping for breath.
The scene around him slowly changed and appeared in a sea of blood. Countless ferocious looking zombies crawled out from the sea of blood and gathered around Ye Chen. A normal person would feel their scalp go numb when they saw it.
Ye Chen's eyes were slightly red. He clenched his fists. His aura fluctuated violently. In the end, reason prevailed. He gritted his teeth and sat down cross-legged. He focused his mind. There was nothing in his mind, so there was nothing outside of his mind.
"Everything is illusory, illusory …" Ye Chen blocked his hearing, sight, smell, and touch. He was in a state of non-self and non-action.
However, in his mind, he could still "see" those zombies crawling over. The encirclement gradually shrank. It was terrifying.
"Oh no!"
Ye Chen frowned. "Everything is born from the mind. I can't block my mind and reach the state of non-self. Just forgetting my hearing and touch is not enough!"
At this time, those zombies crawled over. Each one of them was extraordinarily strong. They left bloody marks on Ye Chen's body. A piercing pain spread throughout his body. His skin was torn open and blood was dripping.
"Everything is illusory, illusory …"
Ye Chen kept repeating in his mind. However, the pain on his body was so real. He felt like his body was being torn apart.
"Not good!"
Ye Chen's heart suddenly moved. "Although these are illusory, all the pain is real!"
This was a type of psychological hypnosis. When a person's body was hit, it would produce pain. This pain was transmitted from the nervous system to the brain. The information symbols transmitted the message of "pain". That was why they felt pain.
Many psychological experts could hypnotize people through words, making them believe from the bottom of their hearts that they were sleepy.
But now, Ye Chen, under the influence of his inner demons, had already believed that the pain in his body was real. The so-called resistance was just self-deception. Deep down, he didn't really believe it.
This was the power of self-hypnosis.
During the peaceful era, an American scientist once did a similar experiment. He hypnotized an old lady and made her believe everything he hypnotized her from the bottom of her heart. In the process, he bent a telephone pole with one punch!
After that, the old lady suddenly died, so this experiment was sealed off from the outside world.
After all, with the old lady's strength, it was impossible for her to bend the electric pole. She performed exceptionally during the hypnosis and overdrew her vitality. Her heart could not bear it, and she died suddenly.
At this moment, even though Ye Chen clearly knew that everything in front of him was an illusion, in his heart, subconsciously, there was still a trace of belief.
"If this goes on, even if my body is fine, I will die from the pain!
If my head is defeated and I believe this fact, my brain's nervous system will automatically stop. At that time, when I believe that I am dead, I will really be dead! "
Ye Chen gritted his teeth and circulated the energy in his body, forming an energy shield around his body. He silently resisted the inner demons in his heart.
Time slowly passed...
In the Dragon Emperor Holy Ground...
Out of the nine Refining Heart Steles, six of them were occupied by people. Not long after, Zi Wan slowly opened her eyes. Her body swayed slightly and her face turned pale. Cold sweat dripped down her forehead. She gritted her teeth and stood up. In the illusion, she felt that her soul force had increased by a lot. She immediately walked to the jade wall not far away and looked at it.
Growing up on Purple Cloud Island, Zi Wan's life was simple. When she was young, she played. When she grew up, she cultivated. In addition to her status, she lived a carefree life. No one dared to provoke this rich young miss. Therefore, compared to Ye Chen, her obsession was like a drop in the ocean!
In Ye Chen's previous life, he had killed countless people. Moreover, there were many things in his heart. It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens for him to suppress them all!
Not long after, Huang Feng, Huang Bingbing, Huang Jian, Huang Cang, and the others opened their eyes and woke up from their obsession. Although the obsession in their hearts had not been completely eliminated, it had been suppressed to a very small corner.
"This stele actually took ten days!"
Huang Feng glanced at the time and sighed. After which, he stood up and walked towards the jade wall not far away. After ten days of tempering, his aura was restrained, and there was a gentle elegance to it. It was as if he had become a different person.
He raised his head and looked at the jade wall. Immediately, he saw thousands of sword Qi rushing towards him. It was full of majesty and sharpness, like a beggar facing an emperor.
His heart trembled. He took a step back and suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind. He looked at the wall calmly. In an instant, the sword Qi disappeared and lines of clear words entered his eyes...
These words were like human figures jumping around in his eyes. Some of them were practicing profound sword skills, some were sitting on the altar and teaching scriptures, and some were jumping up and down like the wind...
Huang Feng was immediately entranced by the words and lost track of time.
After a long time, Zi Wan was the first to withdraw her gaze. Her eyes were filled with fatigue. She took a deep look at the jade wall and walked towards the Bridge of Souls not far away.
"Father said that this jade wall was personally written by the Great God Yellow Emperor. What one sees is what one thinks. Only when one's heart is free of distracting thoughts can one see the true meaning of this jade wall. In order to do so, one must at least have the mental state of a Third Level Wise Master!"
Zi Wan knew that her mental state was not strong enough. What she saw on the jade wall was a beautiful scenery. There were people drinking wine and composing poems in the scenery. They were dancing with swords. It was very elegant.
Hu!
Zi Wan exhaled and walked to the edge of the gully. Looking down, the gully was so deep that she could not see the bottom. If she fell down, she would not even have a complete corpse. In order to test her thoughts, she stretched out her hand. Suddenly, she felt her arm become heavy as if it was being pulled by an invisible rope. She almost fell into the gully.
She was startled and quickly withdrew her hand. "This gully is really strange. Even birds cannot cross it. Even father can't directly fly over it. He can only walk along the Bridge of Souls."
Zi Wan collected her thoughts. Her eyes were filled with fighting spirit as she walked towards the Bridge of Souls. She had only taken one step when a violent resistance suddenly came from the other side of the bridge, causing her body to sway slightly. However, she quickly steadied herself.
"The bridge is twelve steps long. I don't believe that I can't cross it with my own strength!"
Zi Wan bit her red lips and took three steps forward. The scenery around her suddenly changed, turning into a sea of Asura. Countless monsters roared at the side of the bridge, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. This frightening scene caused her pupils to shrink, and her pretty face instantly turned pale. Her body was pushed back a few steps, and she was forced out of the bridge.
At this time, Huang Feng, Huang Cang, and the others came out from the jade wall and stood there. Seeing Zi Wan being forced back after taking four steps, they could not help but look serious.
"Let me!"
Huang Feng grinned and took a step forward onto the bridge. Under the gazes of Zi Wan and the others, he took three steps before he suddenly stopped. His face was completely drained of blood, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. He could not help but vomit.
Huang Cang and the others were shocked. How disgusting was that thing that could make someone with Huang Feng's strength vomit?
Soon, when Huang Feng took his fourth step, he was pushed back by the resistance and fell to the ground. His face was covered in dust and he looked extremely miserable.
Huang Cang, who was beside him, took a step forward and rushed forward. However, he was forced back after taking four steps. Huang Jian and Huang Bingbing also tried once and their results were similar.
After waiting for everyone to try it, Zi Wan walked forward again. The first time, she was not mentally prepared. She did not know that there was an illusion in the Bridge of Souls. This time, she was mentally prepared. Her expression was much more determined and her steps were steady. In the end, when she took the sixth step, she was forced back!
Huang Cang and the others were unwilling to give up and also tried. In the end, except for Huang Jian, the others were all forced back after taking the fifth step.
In the distance, inside the golden palace.
The middle-aged man had one hand behind his back as he watched the scenes on the Bridge of Souls. He nodded with a faint smile on his face, "The geniuses this time have good aptitudes, actually being able to take the sixth step!
This Bridge of Souls has little to do with one's strength. The more tranquil one's heart is, the further one can walk, and the lower the resistance. "
"In the entire Deities Templar, other than Master, only the Deities Templar could walk steadily across the Bridge of Souls. Even the Six Deities Island Masters could only reach the ninth step. Only the Purple Cloud Island Master was slightly stronger and could reach the tenth step. However, he has been stuck at this step for ten years, unable to reach the eleventh step. What a pity …"
The middle-aged man looked at the scene and smiled faintly. He then turned around and walked into the golden palace.
Huang Feng, Zi Wan, and the others had all tried once. After suffering a setback, they returned to the Heart Refining Stele and continued to temper their hearts.
When Huang Feng returned, he was surprised to see Ye Chen still sitting cross-legged before the stele. He took a few more glances at Ye Chen before shaking his head and walking to the side to continue cultivating.
In Ye Chen's inner world, a sea of blood filled the sky.
"Give me back my life …"
"You killed my son, a debt of blood must be repaid with blood …"
Figures crawled out from the sea of blood one after another. Their hair was disheveled as they walked towards Ye Chen, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. Some of these people's faces were extremely familiar. They were all people who had lost their lives in Ye Chen's hands. As these figures moved, the sea of blood was filled with heads. One could see how many people Ye Chen had killed.
"You ate my flesh, give me back my …" A fat man walked out from the sea of blood. The left side of his body was covered in white bones, extremely dazzling to the eyes. When Ye Chen saw this fat man, the killing intent in his eyes intensified. In his previous life, he was trapped in a small room with this fat man. In the end, the fat man poisoned his food with rat poison, almost killing him. Fortunately, he took pity on the food and didn't eat too much.
After that incident, in a fit of anger, he chopped the fat man into pieces and ate up all the food. He could only eat the fat man's corpse.
"Scram!" Ye Chen struck out with his palm, crushing the fat man's corpse into pieces.
At this time, another figure emerged from the sea of blood. His face was filled with a sinister smile. He wore white clothes and had a head of black hair. He looked at Ye Chen with a sinister smile and said, "Do you still remember me?"
