Chapter 612

The palm-sized pyramid crystal was in a strange translucent state and shone with a misty luster.

Holding it in his hand, a stream of information flowed into Gu Ding's brain.

After a long while, Gu Ding digested the information. "I see. This thing is a soul treasure. It has the effect of enhancing soul defense, soul attack, and soul strength …"

"Inject your soul into it. The first level of the Soul Millstone has a cleansing effect on the soul."

Gu Ding saw how to use it and immediately injected his soul power into it without hesitation. Unexpectedly, as soon as he injected a trace of soul power, a strong suction came from the pyramid and sucked Gu Ding's entire soul into it.

Entering the inner world of the pyramid, Gu Ding was a little surprised. He also found that he had lost contact with Neptune, but he guessed that this was the isolation effect of the pyramid. Instead of panicking, he looked around.

This world was a golden world, and all the light came from a huge golden millstone in the void.

The millstone was in a static state at first, but after Gu Ding entered, there was a tremor, and then it began to spin automatically.

As the millstone spun, a golden wind began to take shape. At first, the hurricane was less than a meter high, but it began to grow rapidly in front of Gu Ding's eyes. In just a few seconds, it had turned into a huge golden hurricane that pierced through the clouds, like a giant beast that could hold up the sky.

Gu Ding was a little shocked just by looking at it from afar. Just as he was wondering what else would happen, a terrifying suction came from the wind. Gu Ding almost did not have time to react before he was sucked into the wind.

Then, at the outermost layer of the golden wind, Gu Ding's soul began to disintegrate at a speed visible to the naked eye. Gu Ding looked at this scene in horror. The pain caused by the tearing of his soul made Gu Ding, who had a certain degree of tolerance for pain, unable to help but howl. However, the pain was secondary. Gu Ding was more shocked. Amidst the golden astral winds, he deeply felt how insignificant he was. He even vaguely felt that even a tenth-rank True God might not be able to escape the fate of being disintegrated in the face of this wind.

He desperately used all the abilities he had learned to repair his torn soul. On the other hand, he desperately tried to escape the coverage of this wind. This was because he knew that once his soul was destroyed, he would really die. But no matter what he did, it was all in vain.

Gu Ding watched helplessly as his soul was torn apart inch by inch by the hurricane until it completely disappeared.

His consciousness fell into darkness. "Am I dead? I didn't expect to be killed by a treasure that I obtained. How ironic. "

Just as this thought crossed his mind, his eyes suddenly lit up. His soul had unexpectedly reappeared, completely unharmed. Before he could rejoice, he realized that he was still within the range of the astral wind, and his soul was being torn apart again.

"How did I come back to life? This is … "Only then did Gu Ding remember that before he entered, he had received a notification from his consciousness saying that this place could cleanse the soul. He was speechless. "This soul tempering method sure is violent …"

However, Gu Ding could clearly feel that after the first disintegration, the strength of his soul had indeed improved a little. He did not resist anymore. Instead, he howled in pain as he enjoyed the crushing force of the hurricane.

Time passed day by day. Gu Ding could not remember how many times his soul had been destroyed. He only knew that his soul strength was indeed improving every day.

Logically speaking, Gu Ding's soul strength should be limited by his cultivation level. If he wanted to improve further, he would have to first improve his cultivation level. However, the crushing effect of the hurricane had once again allowed Gu Ding to break through the limits of his physique. His three-star half-step true god-level soul strength increased again. It soared all the way to four-star, five-star, six-star, and only stopped when it reached seven-star. It was pulled to the same level as his physical strength.

Only then did Gu Ding withdraw his soul from the pyramid.

At this time, in the time-accelerated hut, a total of nearly seven hundred days had passed.

Gu Ding pushed the door open and was shocked. This was because he saw that the Crimson Blood Demon Tree had come to life, and a pair of eyes on the trunk was looking at him.

"Gu Ding, since I can't use my physical body, I've temporarily refined this big tree into my own avatar. This way, my physical body won't lose its combat effectiveness. When we leave this world, I'll return this big tree to you. All you have to do is refine it again, and you can use it as your own avatar. "The voice coming from the big tree was Bartholomew's.

When he heard this voice, Gu Ding was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted. A moment ago, he was still wondering why the tree had come to life. When he heard Bartholomew's explanation, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've extracted the Divine Fire for you," Bartholomew said as he pointed a branch at a white flame suspended in the air not far away.

"Why is this flame platinum?" When he saw the flame, Gu Ding was puzzled. "Shouldn't the flames of the Crimson Flame Demon Tree be red?"

"The flames of the Crimson Flame Demon Tree are red, but that's because of the environment it grows in. Its flames contain a lot of vitality energy, so the color is red. In fact, the color of the flame of life is platinum, "Neptune immediately explained.

"Hurry up and refine that time-accelerated house. Then, you can take me out," Bartholomew said again. His tree body waved its branches chaotically as if he was having fun. Obviously, this uncle had been cooped up in this place for millions of years. Now that he had finally gotten his hands on a toy, he was naturally reluctant to let it go.

Gu Ding immediately wrapped the flame in the black God Source and sealed it into his body. Then, he rushed back into the time-accelerated house.

In the time-accelerated house, the platinum flame of life flickered constantly, trying to escape the control of the God Source. However, Gu Ding immediately activated the Swallow the Heavens and Devour the Earth divine power and began to obliterate the Divine Fire.

The nature of the flame of life was very special. It was extremely tough, which made Gu Ding's devouring speed terrifyingly slow. The devouring of the Divine Fire, which could usually be completed in a few days, took more than sixty days.

When the platinum flame appeared in Gu Ding's soul space, Gu Ding's original three-star half-step true god-level God Source strength was also raised to four-star level.

After leaving the time-accelerated house once again, Bartholomew's soul withdrew from the Crimson Flame Demon Tree and returned to his body.

"I'll return to the ice crystal coffin and fall into a state of deep sleep. You can then put this ice crystal coffin into your Inventory and leave through the one-time teleportation formation," Bartholomew said. As Bartholomew spoke, he waved his hand and all twelve pillars in the graveyard entered his body. Then, he slowly walked towards the crystal coffin.

After entering the coffin, he lay down slowly. The coffin lid closed automatically, and there was no longer any signs of life.

Gu Ding put away the giant tree and the coffin into his Inventory.

The entire tomb chamber suddenly became empty. Only then did Gu Ding step into the small teleportation formation that was only about a meter in diameter …
