763 Purifying Oneself with Karmic Fire

Li Tianci only had time to let out a shrill scream before his body was reduced to ashes in the flames.

A soul appeared and flew toward the skeleton raft in the Netherworld River. Li Tianci couldn’t leave here, and his soul had been taken away.

“The Lycorisradiata isn’t just beautiful on the surface, it’s a holy flower in the Netherworld. Yin spirits can’t touch it, and living beings from the mortal world can’t touch it either. Otherwise, it would attract karmic fire, which would ignite one’s body and burn all living beings with karma. Once it’s touched, the karmic fire will burn one’s body. One can only survive if one can withstand the attack of the karmic fire, or if one has merits with one’s body. Only then can one resist the karmic fire instead of perish!”

Jiang Ni said hoarsely when he saw Li Tianci had turned into ashes.

What the Lycorisradiata brought was the karmic fire.

The karmic fire used karma as fuel. The stronger the karma, the more terrifying the karmic fire formed.

If one did not have much karma, even an ordinary person might be able to survive the karmic fire. On contrary, even immortals and gods would be annihilated if there was too much karma. And just now, Li Tianci had been burned to ashes by the explosion of karmic fire.

“It’s karmic fire! One of the most terrifying flames in the world. It’s a true heavenly flame.” Li Xiang couldn’t help but gasp.

There was no logic to this fire. It was one of the most overbearing and unsolvable flames. Its power did not come from others, but from one’s karma. If one was unpardonable, then one would undoubtedly be plagued by the karmic fire until one died. If the karma was not much, one could obtain great benefits and temper one’s body as long as one could get over it.

One could completely be refined inside out and allowed one’s body to become a clear glass body. After that, one could advance at a tremendous pace on the path of cultivation. However, it did not mean that one would not be affected by karma in the future. The karma would still follow the person. Whatever one did can produce karma.

In this world, it was impossible for there to be no cultivators or people without any karma.

“But the path to the gate of hell is filled with Lycorisradiata. There’s no way to avoid them. We can only go through them. In other words, we’ll certainly be set ablaze by our karma. Those who can’t withstand it will be reduced to ashes,” said Song Yuqing with a pale face.

The path to the gate of hell was a path formed by Lycorisradiata. There was no way to escape. This was a difficult hurdle in front of everyone. If they could cross it, it naturally meant that all their karma had been eliminated. Such a person was qualified to pass the gate of hell and leave this spooky and gloomy world. If they couldn’t cross it, it meant that they couldn’t go back to the mortal world. They would die and their cultivation would disappear, leaving only their souls in the Netherworld.

“Whether we can make it through the karmic fire depends on one’s will. As long as one’s will is strong enough, one can endure the karmic fire to burn the karma out, and one can survive. This process may be very painful, but as long as one can get through it, one can obtain great benefits for sure. The benefits are immeasurable, and it’s greatly beneficial to one’s spiritual will,” said Li Xiang after thinking for a moment.

This was the only way out. No matter how afraid they were, it was a fact. They might die if they stepped on the path, but they might not be able to hold on for long with their cultivation if they didn’t. They could be eroded by the Yin aura at any time and die here.

This wasn’t a world suitable for normal living beings. Staying here for too long would certainly lead to death.

“Go all out! Country Lord, I’ll go first, and you later!”

Wushuang Ghost was determined. Without any hesitation, he walked towards the path formed by the Lycorisradiata.

As soon as he went up, the sea of Lycorisradiata exuded a blood-red light. A ball of fire instantly set his entire body on fire. Wushuang Ghost’s massive body was completely engulfed in flames. The flames didn’t burn his clothes, but they seeped into his flesh, bones, blood, and even his soul. They were everywhere.

The muscles on Wushuang Ghost’s face were contorting, and his body was trembling. One could only imagine how painful it was to be burned by the karmic fire.

If he couldn’t hold on, he would instantly turn into ashes.

In the karmic fire, the first things to be refined were the various impurities in the body, as well as karma. Therefore, if one could endure it, the benefits one would obtain would be huge. It was equivalent to one’s body being completely tempered, making it as pure as an inborn body.

Li Xiang followed Wushuang Ghost without hesitation.

“What’s that?”

As he stepped into the sea of Lycorisradiata, he suddenly noticed a small ring under the flower where Li Tianci had died. It was not conspicuous.

With a wave of his hand, the ring flew into his hand.

It was a storage ring. He didn’t check it immediately but put it away.

Whoosh!

As soon as his foot landed, the Lycorisradiata under his feet released a layer of blood-colored flames. Once it touched him, it instantly spread to his entire body, enveloping him. The karmic fire burned and constantly shuttled through his flesh and blood. It was hot and painful as if he was being cut by a thousand knives.

At the same time, the strands of karma on his body were being refined in the karmic fire.

Every inch of his flesh and blood was suffering terrible pain as if he would collapse and melt at any time. The karmic fire was pervasive and there was no power to stop it. It followed a mysterious law.

“It’s too painful and uncomfortable. What a terrifying karmic fire! Even my soul is burning, and my entire sea of consciousness is boiling. This was a baptism inside out. This kind of pain was not something that ordinary people could bear. Once the will collapses, the karmic fire will instantly erupt and burn the person to ashes.”

Li Xiang endured all kinds of terrible pain in his body. His heart was extremely tormented, and his will was also going through a terrible test.

A mountain of blades, a sea of flames, and thousands of cuts are not enough to describe even a fraction of this pain.

“It’s so terrible. The karmic fire is far too terrifying. How long it is going to last? Do I have that much karmic power?”

Li Xiang also felt like time was passing by very slowly.

After Li Xiang, Jiang Ni and Song Yuqing also followed, and they were instantly enveloped by the karmic fire of the Lycorisradiata. Song Yuqing did not even manage to hold on for a breath before she let out a series of screams. The karmic fire was truly unbearable. Boundless pain constantly attacked their mind and will, wanting to destroy them.

Once one’s will was crumbled, one would be reduced to ashes in the karmic fire.

“Hold on! If you can’t withstand it, the karmic fire will turn your body into ashes. As long as you can withstand the first impact, the latter will be very simple. On the contrary, it will bring you great benefits, purifying your body and allowing your cultivation to progress at a rapid pace. The amount of karma on everyone’s body varies. Perhaps in the next moment, the karmic fire will extinguish and no longer have any effect on the body,” said Jiang Ni in a hoarse voice.
