This time, Lin Yun kept moving forward until he stood right at the cave entrance before stopping.
As a result, all the Skyfire gushing from the cave poured directly onto Lin Yun’s body.
“Hiss!”
Lin Yun couldn’t help but gasp in pain.
“What a powerful effect!”
Despite the searing agony coursing through his body, Lin Yun was thrilled.
Standing here, the Skyfire’s tempering and forging effect on his body was extraordinarily potent.
Besides the external forging, Lin Yun continuously drew the Skyfire into his body, refining his meridians, organs, and tissues.
“This… this…”
Bi Chaoqun and the other Tongtian Realm cultivator turned pale at the sight of Lin Yun blocking the cave entrance.
Was this guy even human?
Bi Chaoqun’s face was particularly grim. He had hoped to regain some pride in this event, but Lin Yun had gone straight to the entrance, leaving him far behind.
Even Elder Jun was stunned.
Blocking the Skyfire cave entrance with his body? He had never seen such a thing.
If he hadn’t witnessed it himself, he wouldn’t have believed it.
Elder Jun quickly spoke up, “Lin Yun, this is no joking matter. The Skyfire is fierce. Doing this risks irreversible damage to your body.”
“Elder Jun, I can handle it,” Lin Yun replied, forcing a smile.
Under the Skyfire’s tempering, Lin Yun’s body, from the outside in, was undergoing noticeable strengthening and enhancement.
Lin Yun couldn’t help but marvel. No wonder the Skyfire was considered a treasure of the Skyfire Temple; even his Indestructible Divine Body was being significantly refined and forged.
Buzz!
The Skyfire continued to pour endlessly from the cave, all of it flooding onto Lin Yun’s body.
“What a monster!”
Seeing Lin Yun hold his ground at the cave entrance, Elder Jun couldn’t help but exclaim repeatedly.
Bi Chaoqun and the other Tongtian Realm cultivator, after standing dazed for a moment, soon noticed something amiss.
With Lin Yun blocking the cave entrance, they were receiving none of the Skyfire’s tempering.
“Lin Yun, you’re going too far! By blocking it like this, how are we supposed to undergo the Skyfire tempering?” Bi Chaoqun shouted angrily, his face dark with rage.
Lin Yun, fully immersed in the Skyfire tempering, didn’t respond.
“Damn it!”
Furious, Bi Chaoqun rushed to Lin Yun’s side.
“You bastard, I’m talking to you! Didn’t you hear me? You’re blocking all the Skyfire. What are we supposed to do?” Bi Chaoqun slammed a palm onto Lin Yun’s shoulder.
“Fine, I’ll let you have it.”
Lin Yun stepped aside.
Boom.
As he moved, the Skyfire surged out like a tidal wave, crashing onto Bi Chaoqun.
“Aaah!”
Bi Chaoqun let out a piercing scream.
The overwhelming Skyfire, pouring entirely onto him, was more than he could bear, especially unprepared.
After pausing for two seconds, Lin Yun turned back, using his body to block the surging Skyfire again.
Bi Chaoqun collapsed to the ground, pale and writhing in pain, his face contorted.
Having endured the full force of the Skyfire at such close range, the consequences were predictable.
Fortunately, it lasted only a few seconds. Any longer, and it could have caused severe damage, possibly even threatening his life. This was no joke.
The other Tongtian Realm cultivator shivered at the sight.
“Lin Yun, you set me up!” Bi Chaoqun, scrambling to his feet, glared with burning fury.
He had nearly suffered a catastrophe.
“You just said I was blocking the Skyfire, so I stepped aside. How is that setting you up? You asked for it,” Lin Yun said calmly.
“You… you…” Bi Chaoqun trembled with rage.
“If you still want me to step aside, I’ll do it again,” Lin Yun added.
Bi Chaoqun’s face paled, and he quickly retreated, ensuring a safe distance, terrified that Lin Yun might actually do it.
Back at his original spot, he felt secure. Even if Lin Yun stepped aside again, he wouldn’t be affected.
Lin Yun remained at the cave entrance, continuing to undergo the Skyfire tempering.
“Lin Yun, step aside now!” Bi Chaoqun roared through gritted teeth.
But Lin Yun ignored him, focusing entirely on the tempering.
This left Bi Chaoqun helpless. If he rushed forward to push Lin Yun aside, and Lin Yun dodged, he’d be unable to withstand the Skyfire at such close range.
If he stayed put and only shouted for Lin Yun to move, Lin Yun simply wouldn’t listen.
“Elder Jun, do something about this guy. He’s blocking all the Skyfire, so we can’t undergo the tempering,” Bi Chaoqun pleaded, hoping Elder Jun would intervene.
“Well, the Skyfire tempering rules don’t prohibit standing at the cave entrance. Since there’s no rule against it, he’s not breaking any. I can’t force him to move. His ability to stand there is his own skill, and there’s nothing I can do,” Elder Jun said, spreading his hands in a gesture of helplessness.
“Elder Jun, you’re blatantly favoring him,” Bi Chaoqun said, his face darkening.
Elder Jun’s brows furrowed, “Bi Chaoqun, watch your words. Trouble comes from careless talk.”
Though Bi Chaoqun was furious, he feared Elder Jun’s authority and didn’t dare say more.
He turned to the other Tongtian Realm cultivator, “Commander Yu, this guy’s blocking our Skyfire. Are you just going to do nothing?”
“Friend Bi, you’ve said and done all you could, and the result is clear. Why should I bring trouble on myself?” Commander Yu replied.
“Damn it!” Bi Chaoqun muttered, frustrated, after a long pause.
All he could hope for now was that Lin Yun couldn’t keep standing at the cave entrance.
When Lin Yun could no longer endure and retreated, the Skyfire would flow out, and he could get some of it.
For the remaining time, Lin Yun stayed at the cave entrance, quietly undergoing the tempering.
The Skyfire poured onto him, seeping into every pore, reaching every particle of his body.
The pain penetrated every particle, erupting like the Soul-Breaking Poison, but even more intense.
Yet, under this tempering, every particle of his body was gradually transforming, becoming denser and stronger.
About forty minutes later, a surge rippled through Lin Yun’s body.
Indestructible Divine Body, Mid-Stage!
Success!
Lin Yun could clearly feel every particle in his body significantly strengthened, with the power each could unleash greatly enhanced.
“Excellent, my physical body has finally improved again!” Lin Yun thought, thrilled.
