"After a year, you can leave."

While Ye Chenfeng was being tempered by the war emperor, a turbid voice sounded out from the underwater cave. Three powerful teleportation energies enveloped the Nebula, Gu Tianxing, and Yue Ni Chang who had been cultivating in the outer hall.

The next moment, the three of them disappeared from the outer hall. The only difference was that Nebula and Gu Tianxing had left the underwater cave, while Yue Ni Chang had arrived at the main hall.

"90% chance!"

Hearing the Manor Spirit's words, Yue Niang's anxious face revealed a smile, and her hanging heart relaxed.

"Alright, I'll give you some benefits when he accepts the test."

As she spoke, the spirit of the manor opened her mouth. A water-blue crystal that seemed to contain pure soul power floated in front of Yue Ni Chang.

"This is a Heart of the Sea Crystal. Absorb it and cultivate well. Otherwise, your strength will be dragged further and further away from you." The Mansion Spirit said.

"Thank you, senior!"

Yue Niang held the precious Sea Heart Crystal in her hands as she calmed her heart. She was cultivating while absorbing the Sea Heart Crystal in the main hall.

"After a year, they will come out."

When Black Demon sensed the great teleportation power that suddenly appeared at the entrance of the underwater cave, he immediately launched a fatal attack the moment Ye Chenfeng appeared, heavily injuring Ye Chonglou, who was lying in ambush outside.

"Hmm, why is it just the two of them?"

After waiting for a while, Black Demon noticed that other than the Nebula, Gu Tianxing, Ye Zichen and Yue Niang did not appear. He quickly controlled them.

But Gu Tianxing didn't know the truth. No matter how hard Black Demon and the Black Turtle King tried to force the truth out of them, they couldn't get any valuable information out of them.

Helpless, they ordered the nebula and Gu Tianxing to ambush them together. This ambush lasted half a year.

… ….

"Bam!"

The battle king threw a punch at Ye Zichen, who was in the beast spirit form. The powerful force shattered his beast spirit body, causing it to float in midair.

During this half a year, Ye Chenfeng's soul had already been destroyed countless times by the Octoterra Emperor. However, as he wandered between life and death, Ye Chenfeng's willpower did not weaken, instead, it became stronger and stronger.

With his high fighting spirit and unyielding will, the Eight Shots War Emperor was becoming more and more satisfied with him.

"Soul Body Condensation!"

Ye Zichen's scattered souls quickly gathered together, once again transforming into the strongest beast spirit form. Boundless light shot out from his eyes that were as deep as the sea.

"Break!"

Ye Zichen roared, and the Perfection Sword Force surged out from his body, transforming into the power of the dao.

Suddenly, Ye Zichen's entire body moved, turning into an extremely thin sword mark, then flew into a special trajectory, which pierced towards the Octoterra Emperor.

At this moment, his soul power and the power of the Great Dao had perfectly fused. The person was the sword, and the sword was also the person.

"Chi!"

The sword light that gushed out from the Octoterra Emperor's body suffered the full force of Ye Chenfeng's sword attack, causing a crack to appear. A sword aura as thin as a cow's hair pierced into the Octoterra Emperor's body.

Although this strand of sword energy was extremely thin, it still managed to shatter the Eight Sha Emperor's body with a single blow.

"I succeeded, I finally succeeded." Ye Zichen revealed a faint smile as he looked at the shattered Eight Shots War Emperor.

The reason why Ye Chenfeng could shatter the war emperor with a single blow was because he had been searching for the weak point of the war emperor's soul for the past half year.

After his unremitting efforts, he finally found it and did it.

Good, very good. You were actually able to discover the weakness of my soul. The war god recondensed his soul in the blink of an eye, and was not stingy in his appreciation of Ye Chenfeng.

"Senior, can it be considered that I've passed the test?" Ye Chenfeng asked.

"Pass!" The Eight-edged War Emperor nodded and said, "But before accepting my inheritance, I am prepared to give you an opportunity to temper your soul. Are you willing to accept it?"

"Junior is willing to accept this!" Ye Chenfeng answered without even thinking about it.

"Good, I hope you can endure the pain of tempering your soul!"

As he said that, a powerful flame of soul force spread out from the body of the Octoterra Emperor. It was like a huge mouth that swallowed up Ye Chenfeng's soul in one go and burned him up.

After fusing with the flames of the Magic Ape, Ye Chenfeng's soul was tormented to the point where he wished he were dead. Meanwhile, the remnant soul of the Octoterra Emperor was tens of times stronger than the flames of the Magic Ape, and it was refined by the soul fire that he formed.

"Bam!"

Ye Zichen's soul exploded under the scorching flames of the soul fire, turning into tens of thousands of soul particles. His consciousness also became more and more blurry due to the soul explosion, and became weaker and weaker.

The soul is a person's foundation, and is also the foundation of cultivation. With the essence of the soul, your foundation will be more stable, and what I am doing now is to shatter your soul, refine the impurities within your soul, and make your soul more pure and powerful.

At this moment, the voice of the Octoterra Emperor sounded out in Ye Chenfeng's soul, causing his consciousness to awaken bit by bit.

"Senior, go ahead and temper yourself. I can endure it."

Ye Chenfeng knew that with the power of the Octoterra Emperor, it would not be so troublesome to harm him in secret. His voice trembled a little as he spoke.

"Alright!"

After exchanging blows with Ye Zichen for half a year, the Octoterra Emperor had experienced his superhuman willpower and unyielding heart. This was also the reason why he decided to use his soul fire to help him refine his soul.

"I need to increase the power of my soul fire."

As he said that, the Octoterra Emperor increased the intensity of the soul fire and burned Ye Chenfeng's soul particles. Shrill and pained cries continuously sounded out from the soul fire.

As time passed, Ye Chenfeng felt that every second was too hard to bear. It was as if he would not be able to hold on any longer after the next second, his mind would collapse and his soul would be destroyed.

"I insist. I must persevere. If I give up, all my efforts will be for naught." Relying on a hint of determination and an unyielding will, Ye Chenfeng did not give up, enduring the pain and persisting on.

Slowly, under the torture of pain, Ye Chenfeng lost his consciousness. However, his soul, which had been honed by the war Emperor of the Eighth Hell, emitted a spiritual luster as it was honed by his soul fire.

After an unknown period of time, Ye Chenfeng, who had lost consciousness, suddenly regained consciousness, while his soul that had exploded had also been completely restored.
