The shriek rent the quiet, and the raindrops fluttering down in the courtyard burst apart, forming a misty haze.
Inside the house.
Fierce heat circulated, with Qi and Blood like a baking furnace, steaming with cold air.
In the incense burner, the twisted column of smoke shot up into the sky, only to be torn asunder by the high winds.
Three wood carvings, stained with blood, seemed to have been soaked in a blood pool, their strong scent of blood intertwining and spreading, making the wood carvings seem alive, screaming and roaring tragically.
Three animals and five livestock, eight large bowls, their blood as if all sucked dry.
The scene at this moment truly became somewhat bizarre.
Li Che sat cross-legged, his brow Niwan opening and closing, the "Wrathful Maitreya" Divinity, pouring out like a river, filling the surroundings.
Woven with invisible forces, constantly embedding, continuously accumulating.
Every inch of his skin seemed soaked by the river of divinity, and Li Che's senses soared to the limit, distinctly sensing the divinity seeping into his body through the pores of his skin, every tendon, every inch of flesh.
Then, the Divinity seemed to open its bloody maws, swallowing the flesh!
Huh
Inhale
Following a breath.
Li Che only felt his body becoming immensely hot, the Divinity turning into countless streams of molten iron, stimulating his flesh, as if it wanted to completely incinerate him!
Most importantly...
This wasn't an illusion!
Divinity... was truly devouring his flesh, burning his body!
Burning with fury!
Burning tendons and bones!
Countless streams of Divinity, like a bone-deep infection, bored into the Python Muscles and Tiger Bones, and Li Che furrowed his brows, following the obtained Dharma, circulating the "Eight Extremes Three-eyed Wrathful True Lord Divine Foundation Technique," pulling many divinities back into the Inner Scenery.
But the Divinity that had just returned to the Mud Pill Inner Scene would again crazily burst out along the river of Divinity; thus, Li Che had to continue pulling it back.
This process indeed tested the strength of the physical body; if it couldn't withstand the burning invasion of Divinity, the whole body would be controlled by Divinity, eventually becoming a puppet of Divinity!
Li Che somewhat understood why Li Qingshan said that to forge a Divine Foundation, one needed at least the Mysterious Vein level of Qi and Blood Cultivation, a body refined to the level of Mysterious Veins, to have a high probability of resisting the continuous assaults of Divinity.
Forging a Divine Foundation was indeed dangerous...
Should it fail, even if one regained control of the body, the Yuan Qi would be greatly damaged, Divinity severely crippled.
"Actually, I feel... it's a bit like swallowing a dozen martial arts pills, eliciting the effect of the pills all at once, that kind of refining feeling."
The first time he swallowed the Python Blood Martial Pill, that burst of intensity, from inside out, the feeling of igniting his Qi and Blood, was quite similar to this moment.
Of course, there were differences.
After all, one was Divinity, the other was the nature of medicine.
Time drifted by unnoticed, the Divinity eroding the flesh, while the Inner Qi in the body surged, countering the Divinity, like two fierce beasts fighting for control within Li Che's body.
This process of Divinity and Inner Qi colliding and neutralizing each other was also a process of tempering the physical body.
Om!
The intertwining forces, carried by boiling blood, followed the circulation route of the Minor Circulation, washing over the fragile meridians again and again.
Sizzling...
Gradually, Li Che felt a painful sensation like skinning and deboning, sweat seeping out from his forehead.
Deep inside, it seemed as if a surge of anger was inexplicably rising!
Anger erupted from every inch of his flesh, like a volcano pent up to the extreme, fiercely bursting forth, charging towards his mind!
Bursting to enter his brain nerves!
Divinity... entering the brain!

Entering his mind!
This was serious!
Li Che's heart skipped a beat; the brain... that was the most intricate part of the human body, also the most mysterious!
If damaged, the regret would be immense!
According to the Divine Foundation Technique, this should be the final hurdle!
If he could hold on, the Divinity would become tame, congealing into the Foundation Wheel.
Li Che hurriedly mobilized the Inner Qi within his Dantian, gathering it in front of the heaven gate of his mind, resisting the onslaught of Divinity!
Boom!
A collision, as if thunder roared between heaven and earth, brought a startling clash right at his ear!
Dizzy and seeing stars!
Li Che had just adjusted when the Wrathful Maitreya Divinity gathered for a second assault, like barking mad dogs, charging once again.
This collision was even more deafening, like thunder of spring exploding next to his ears.
Li Che's whole body trembled slightly.
Divinity like a river, gathering again, launching a third strike!
Just like a waterfall falling from a thousand feet, the river overturned!
Boom!
Countless Inner Qi and Divinity collided, feeling as if the heavens and the earth were collapsing!
His mind "buzzed" nonstop.
It seemed like a moment passed, yet it felt excruciatingly long.
Li Che slowly opened his eyes, his body reddened, gradually calming down, with his back muscles twitching incessantly like pythons.
Within the Inner Scene of the Energy Center, the Divinity returned to calm, the originally river-like Wrathful Maitreya Divinity disappeared, replaced by a platform.
Even and flattened like a squashed cylinder, made purely of condensed Divinity.
The divinity emanating from it was much more potent than the original Wrathful Maitreya Divinity.
A strand of Divinity, worth a hundred of the previous strands!
In the Inner Scenery space, the "Angry Cry of a Hundred Spirits" and "Heart Shocking and Sturdy" divinities, were both suppressed dead.
