Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I am the Ancestor of Stars.

Chapter 188 Immense Pain

However, as time went on, the Nine Netherworld Flame's resistance grew stronger and stronger, and Taihao seemed unable to hold on any longer. In the end, Taihao made a tough decision.

"Fortune favors the bold; how can you expect a reward without putting in the effort?"

He directly absorbed the Nine Netherworld Flame into his body. Just as he absorbed the Nine Netherworld Flame, a terrifyingly high temperature instantly swept over Taihao's entire body!

Taihao's internal organs were instantly destroyed by the high temperature of the Nine Netherworld Fire, but in the instant of destruction, the powerful life force of the Nine-Bend Heavenly Tree roots restored them once again!

Although it can be recovered, even a powerful expert like Taihao, who is at the Great Dao Realm, cannot endure that kind of pain for long!

Taihao endured all the pain brought on by the intense heat and the power of life!

If it weren't for Taihao's extraordinary willpower, he wouldn't have been able to hold on by now!

As time went on, Taihao could no longer bear it, and his consciousness began to gradually become scattered. Taihao felt that his consciousness was becoming scattered, so he bit his tongue hard to clear his mind!

If one loses consciousness at such a time, the sea of ​​the soul will be directly breached, and the soul will be directly evaporated by the terrifying temperature of the Nine Netherworld Fire!

Taihao persevered for a while longer, but finally fell into a deep sleep, unwilling to give up!

Taihao knew he was dead. He came to a place filled with darkness, surrounded by nothingness.

"Is this hell? Or is this the underworld of my past life?!" Taihao shouted loudly from within!

But no one answered him, and there was no sign of life around him; Taihao was the only person in the entire space!

Taihao didn't know why this was happening either, and just as Taihao was at a loss for what to do...

Suddenly, Taihao heard a hurried voice shouting something!

"Master, Master, Master..."

The sound grew louder and louder until Taihao finally heard the shouts. Taihao was very excited. It was the voice of Nuwa, Pingxin, Huoling'er, and Xihe.

Taihao had no idea how much time had passed in this dark space when, after hearing the shouts of the others, a ray of light suddenly appeared around him!

"Where is this?"

Taihao's consciousness followed the light out, and when he stepped into the light, his consciousness disappeared again. Then he felt his body again, which made Taihao very happy. He suddenly opened his eyes, and everything around him was very unfamiliar!

He lay on a luxurious and soft bed, surrounded by two men and two women, none other than Pingxin and his companions!

They were looking at Taihao with tense expressions. Taihao didn't know why he was here, and weren't Nuwa and the others cultivating in the Netherworld? How did they end up here? The questions in his head made Taihao a little dizzy!

"Master, you're awake?" Nuwa was the first to see Taihao awake and exclaimed happily!

"How did you end up here? Didn't I tell you to cultivate in the Netherworld and expel the poison from the Dissolving Power Powder?" Taihao asked, voicing his doubts.

"Master, can you take a look at our strength?" Nuwa smiled and said to Taihao!

Taihao then noticed their strength. He discovered that Nuwa's strength had reached the peak of the half-step Great Dao realm, and Xihe was also at the same level as Nuwa, having reached the peak of the half-step Great Dao realm!

Pingxin has even reached the early stage of the Great Dao Realm, while Huo Ling'er is stronger than the other three, having already broken through to the late stage of the Great Dao Realm!

"Your strength?" Taihao was startled by the terrifying strength of the group. He had only refined one Nine Netherworld Flame, while Nuwa and the others had made such a great breakthrough in their strength. This was something Taihao could not accept for a moment!

"Master, you have been asleep for five kalpas. Pingxin broke through after the first kalpa after you left, and Xihe and I also broke through during the third kalpa!"

"After we all broke through to higher levels, we hadn't heard from you, so we came back. But when we returned, we learned that you had refined the Nine Netherworld Flame and fallen into a deep sleep!"

"Because the Heavenly Dao cannot approach that place, we carried you out of the barrier after we returned. This is your palace!" Nuwa said slowly to Taihao.

After hearing Nuwa's words, Taihao's shock only increased. He never imagined that five kalpas had passed since he refined the Nine Netherworld Flame. This was a terrifying number!

Although Taihao was surprised by the length of his slumber, he still channeled his divine soul power into his body. However, after the divine soul power entered his body, Taihao's expression changed.

Seeing the change in Taihao's expression, Nuwa and the others all looked away, not daring to look him in the eye!

Taihao was still checking his body over and over again, but although his soul was powerful, there was not a trace of magic power in his body!

Moreover, the meridians in his body were broken inch by inch, with not a single one remaining intact. Meridians are the foundation of everyone's cultivation. If it is only a small break, then it can be slowly repaired with powerful magic!

However, Taihao's current situation is very bad, because he doesn't have even a trace of magic power in his body, which makes Taihao very distressed!

Suddenly, Taihao felt a faint energy emanating from his dantian. This energy was small, but it felt very strong to Taihao!

Taihao condensed all his divine soul power into golden needles and thrust them towards his dantian with all his might!

All the meridians in front of Taihao's dantian were broken, and even his divine soul power could not get through. So Taihao made a tough decision and directly gathered all his divine soul power, trying to forcefully break through the broken meridians in his dantian!

The golden needles, formed from immense divine soul power, instantly rushed towards the broken meridians in the dantian. The moment the golden needles formed from divine soul power touched the shattered meridians, a deep, bone-chilling pain instantly spread throughout the entire body!

Taihao's body was trembling incessantly, clearly enduring immense pain.

Nuwa and the others were unaware of the changes within Taihao's body, nor of Taihao's own actions. They were suddenly startled when they saw Taihao's body trembling incessantly!

The four of them instantly appeared beside Taihao. Pingxin lifted Taihao off the bed and then flashed behind him.

With both palms placed on Taihao's back, powerful magic flowed into Taihao's body. Pingxin saw Taihao's emaciated body but showed no expression whatsoever!

They already knew about Taihao's physical condition. When Pingxin examined Taihao's dantian, his usually calm face suddenly froze!

All the meridians in Taihao's dantian had disappeared, leaving only a black hole. There was nothing else there. Just as Pingxin was about to explore Taihao's dantian...

Taihao's extremely weak voice rang in Pingxin's ears: "Withdraw your magic power. I'm fine. You all stay here and don't let anyone disturb me!"

Upon hearing Taihao's voice, Pingxin did not hesitate and immediately withdrew his magic power. Then, with a wave of his hand, a barrier rose up around Taihao!
