Chapter 2928: Great Enlightenment, Qin Shitian!

Of the ninety-seven people, only seventy-nine ultimately entered the Soul Refining Furnace.

The number of Soul Refining Furnace projections could be freely controlled by the Soul Refining Hall.

Qin Shitian arrived before his own Soul Refining Furnace and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Forty-two types of Chaotic Dao Flames—this was truly immense pressure!

Even though he had faced life and death countless times, he could not remain calm under such tremendous pressure.

He couldn't help but glance in Ye Yuan's direction and saw that Ye Yuan was examining the Soul Refining Furnace with great interest, showing no sign of pressure.

Qin Shitian's heart tightened!

Was this guy really that relaxed?

No!

He was the one who was too nervous!

Facing forty-two types of Dao Flames, he was more nervous than ever before!

This was a dead end, with almost no chance of survival.

Thus, he had lost his way somewhat.

In the past, whenever he faced a desperate situation, he could handle it with ease.

What was wrong this time?

Qin Shitian exhaled a heavy breath of turbid air, and suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation.

Strategically despise the enemy, tactically take them seriously!

Qin Shitian hadn't expected that he would find himself again through Ye Yuan.

He had been outdone again!

Qin Shitian was proud and monstrously talented.

But he hadn't expected that during this hall entrance assessment, he would be repeatedly ground into the dirt by Ye Yuan.

His mind was in turmoil!

"Ye Yuan, thank you!" Qin Shitian suddenly said.

Ye Yuan was startled and looked at Qin Shitian, suddenly noticing that something was different about him.

That was it—this guy had found his true self through him.

So he smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome."

But Qin Shitian's expression hardened as he said, "However, I won't lose to you in this round!"

Ye Yuan just smiled faintly, soared into the air, and landed in the Soul Refining Furnace.

A wave of scorching heat rushed toward him.

"Heh, Shitian has found his true self and achieved great enlightenment! In this battle, he will definitely not lose to Ye Yuan! Perhaps my estimation of him was far too low! I feel that he truly might create a legend and walk out safely from the soul refinement of forty-two types of Chaotic Dao Flames! Maybe... he is the next Futian Sovereign!"

The change in Qin Shitian was clearly sensed by Emperor Dongyang as well.

He had been worried earlier, but now he was not worried at all.

At this moment, he was absolutely certain that Ye Yuan was merely a whetstone for Qin Shitian!

Because now, Qin Shitian possessed all the qualities a strong person needed.

There was no reason for him not to rise!

Emperor Xichen also nodded and said, "Originally, I thought it was a bit reckless, but now I am also optimistic about Qin Shitian."

Even the usually silent Emperor Linfang added, "Indeed, Qin Shitian is very likely to soar to great heights!"

The three great emperors had spoken simultaneously—this was almost the final verdict!

Many people became excited once again.

Were they going to witness another miracle today?

Ye Yuan had won two consecutive rounds, but in the end, would he be trampled down by Qin Shitian?

That would be a true comeback against the odds!

Regardless, they would just wait and see!

Emperor Dongyang cast soul techniques one after another, and the Soul Refining Furnaces of Ye Yuan and Qin Shitian seemed to be locked with layers of shackles.

With each cast, everyone's hearts tightened a bit!

In the end, he cast thirty-five shackles, which, combined with the originally locked seven types of Dao Flames, made forty-two types!

At this moment, everyone knew that these two would not come out!

Forty-two types of Chaotic Dao Flames—just thinking about it was hair-raising.

Boom!

In all seventy-nine Soul Refining Furnaces, a purple flame lit up simultaneously!

The furnaces were completely filled with purple flames.

The raging tongues of fire instantly swallowed everyone's figures.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Several screams came, and a few examinees in some furnaces were instantly reduced to ashes!

Everyone's expressions changed.

They knew the Chaotic Dao Flames were powerful, but not this powerful.

Those few people had almost no power to resist and were simply gone.

The examinees who had withdrawn couldn't help but wipe their cold sweat.

"Good thing I withdrew; otherwise, with my strength, I would have ended up like them."

"This is the legendary Purple Sun True Flame—its power is truly terrifying!"

"I heard that this Purple Sun True Flame is a flame of extreme yang and hardness, capable of burning all things in heaven and earth! Back then, our Soul Clan's Sovereign Ziyang used this flame to completely incinerate a human sovereign into nothingness!"

...

As soon as the Dao Flame appeared, it stirred up a commotion.

This Purple Sun True Flame was renowned, the lifebound Dao Flame of the Soul Clan's Sovereign Ziyang, with boundless might.

Those who had withdrawn secretly thanked their luck.

What did losing face matter? It was better than losing one's life!

"Ahhh! What a thrill! Come on! More!" In the Soul Refining Furnace, Qin Shitian cried out in pain while shouting arrogantly, looking almost mad.

Clearly, he was not having an easy time in the furnace.

But his performance shocked everyone.

Because others were using all their strength just to withstand the refinement of the Dao Flames, let alone shouting.

Qin Shitian's behavior showed that he still had strength to spare.

On the other hand, there was no sound from Ye Yuan's side.

But this was only the first type of Dao Flame, so it was hard to tell anything yet.

With Ye Yuan's nine-tempered soul body, resisting seven types of Dao Flames was obviously not difficult.

Every two hours, another type of Dao Flame descended!

Two hours later, the second type of Dao Flame descended!

Thus, several more examinees died in the Soul Refining Furnace.

Time passed bit by bit; the third, fourth, and up to the sixth type—each time a Dao Flame descended, many examinees died.

By the sixth type, over forty people had died.

The mortality rate was unusually high!

But just then, something unexpected happened!

"Haha, I finally broke through!" Qin Shitian's laughter rang out.

Seven-temper!

After being baptized by six types of Dao Flames, Qin Shitian had finally broken through to seven-temper!

"Indeed, it came!"

"Six types of Dao Flames—others were struggling to cope, but Qin Shitian managed to break his own shackles. Impressive!"

"Now, Ye Yuan has become the one being challenged. He is at nine-temper; reaching the legendary ten-temper won't be easy!"

"Next, we'll see how far Qin Shitian can go! If he can also reach nine-temper, then he will truly soar!"

...

Qin Shitian's breakthrough made everyone look forward with anticipation.

Soon, the seventh type of Dao Flame descended!

Instantly, a large number died!

Every seventh type was a major hurdle!

The power of the mixed Dao Flames suddenly increased significantly!

Of the original seventy-nine people, only a little over twenty remained!

The mortality rate was even higher than imagined!

"Haha... I finally passed! I passed! Who knows how I managed to get through this!" Suddenly, someone shouted loudly, having already passed.

"I passed too! Damn it, I'm never entering the Soul Refining Furnace again! Wuwu..." This person actually started crying.

These few were the examinees who had performed very prominently in the first two rounds.

It was clear just how terrifying this round was!
