Inside the secret chamber, Fang Hong sat cross-legged, with the sorted immortal herb placed in front of him.

A raging immortal fire ignited out of thin air, and Fang Hong threw the immortal herbs into the immortal fire one by one.

The immortal herbs rapidly melted under the scorching heat of the immortal fire, turning into streams of scalding medicinal liquid.

Fang Hong manipulated these medicinal liquids to continuously fuse, collide, and purify in the flames, removing the Impurities and leaving only the purest medicinal power.

Under Fang Hong’s exquisite control, the medicinal liquids gradually condensed into round and plump Immortal Pills.

The fragrance of the pills permeated the entire secret chamber, a sign that the soul solidifying pills were about to take shape... For a full month, Fang Hong was immersed in the state of alchemy.

Finally, when the last mass of medicinal liquid had condensed into pills, two hundred soul solidifying pills were neatly arranged on a jade plate, emitting a faint glow.

Looking at these two hundred soul solidifying pills, a relieved smile appeared on Fang Hong’s face.

With these soul solidifying Immortal Pills, plus the various demonic beast immortal pills he had previously stored, it should be enough for this advancement to the Immortal King Realm.

At this point, all the conditions required for advancing to the Immortal King Realm had been successfully met. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Fang Hong did not rush to immediately break through the realm; he meditated in his Immortal Cave for another ten days.

During these ten days, he cast aside all distracting thoughts, calmed his inner self, and fully stabilized his state of mind.

The Immortal King Realm was no small matter; an unstable state of mind could very likely lead to a failed advancement, so he had to treat it cautiously... Ten days later, everything was ready, and Fang Hong sat cross-legged on a quiet mountaintop, with various demonic beast immortal pills beside him.

The time was ripe, and Fang Hong no longer hesitated, immediately picking up the Immortal King-grade Immortal Pill, inhaling it into his abdomen, and then fully activating the "Ten Thousand Laws Origin Demon Art."

The moment the cultivation technique operated, the immortal essence in his body surged like a rushing river.

It circulated rapidly along the nine law meridians, continuously delivering the medicinal power of the Immortal Pill to various immortal apertures.

As the medicinal power of the Immortal Pill completely erupted, Fang Hong’s immortal apertures began to expand crazily again.

Each expansion allowed more immortal power to be contained, and his entire body’s aura also surged madly, steadily advancing towards the Immortal King Realm... Time quietly passed during his secluded Cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, three months had gone by.

At this moment, all the demonic beast immortal pills beside Fang Hong had been completely refined, transforming into pure immortal power that integrated into his body, supporting the transformation of his law meridians.

On the mountaintop, Fang Hong still sat cross-legged, surrounded by a rich immortal light, his entire being seemingly integrated with heaven and earth.

Suddenly, Fang Hong sharply opened his eyes, and immortal light burst forth from his entire body.

A majestic and vast powerful aura erupted, spreading wildly in all directions.

The mountains and rivers within the years pearl trembled, and the heavens and earth changed color.

Even the entire Ancient Demon Continent could feel this pressure from the Immortal King Realm!

The lurking Demonic Beasts and the Cultivators undergoing trials were all startled by this aura but dared not make any unusual movements.

After a few breaths, Fang Hong slowly reined in his aura, and the awe-inspiring pressure that shook heaven and earth gradually dissipated.

At this moment, all nine of Fang Hong’s law meridians had successfully transformed into a solid state, his immortal apertures were stable and vast, and his aura was profound and condensed.

He had finally successfully advanced to the long-desired Immortal King Realm!

Just as Fang Hong was rejoicing, the advancement process was not over; Fang Hong looked up at the sky, only to see the originally clear sky suddenly covered with dark clouds!

Immediately following, with a thunderous roar, as if heaven and earth were collapsing, a huge spatial rift slowly appeared in the dark clouds!

Inside the spatial rift, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and faintly, crimson firelight gathered deep within the rift.

The flickering flames even warped space itself!

This was precisely the most terrifying tribulation when advancing to the Immortal King Realm, the Heavenly Fire Tribulation, which was now quietly forming.

The scorching sensation in the air grew stronger and stronger, as if the entire space was about to ignite at any moment!

Fang Hong stood beneath the spatial rift, his expression solemn, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

The terror of the Heavenly Fire Tribulation meant that a slight mistake could lead to Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

A flash of light appeared between Fang Hong’s eyebrows, and the Soul Nurturing Pearl shot out, stably suspended above his head.

A faint halo flowed on the surface of the Soul Nurturing Pearl, like an invisible barrier.

At the same time, the demon soul banner slowly emerged behind Fang Hong.

With the urging of immortal power, the skeleton artifact spirit continuously emitted a purple demonic mist.

These two treasures were both tenth-grade soul Suppressing Immortal Artifacts, now fully activated by Fang Hong.

They formed a thick light shield that completely enveloped Fang Hong’s entire body, leaving not even a single gap.

"Boom!"

The moment Fang Hong activated the two Immortal Artifacts, a deafening roar suddenly came from the spatial rift, as if heaven and earth were collapsing!

Immediately after, a sky full of crimson Heavenly Fire poured down from high above like a breaching waterfall, the Heavenly Fire forming a continuous sheet, dyeing the entire sky red.

The terrifying scene seemed to want to reduce all things in the world to ashes!

"Puff puff puff..."

The Heavenly Fire splashed onto Fang Hong without any pause, and as soon as it touched the light shield outside his body, it emitted a series of scorching sounds.

And the moment the Heavenly Fire touched the light shield, Fang Hong’s mind trembled violently, and a sharp pain came from the depths of his soul, making him shiver uncontrollably!

Only at this moment did Fang Hong truly feel the terrifying power of the Heavenly Fire Tribulation!

He had previously experienced the Body Destruction Thunder Tribulation, which mainly destroyed the physical body, but this Heavenly Fire was completely different; it specifically burned the soul, ignoring the physical body’s defense.

If he hadn’t had the light shield formed by the Soul Nurturing Pearl and the demon soul banner protecting him just now, with just that one strike, his soul would probably have been severely damaged, or even directly disintegrated.

The Heavenly Fire did not stop, still continuously falling from high above, like an endless sea of fire, completely engulfing Fang Hong.

The stinging sensation in his soul grew more and more intense, as if it wanted to tear Fang Hong’s soul apart!

Fang Hong dared not delay for a moment, immediately circulating the immortal power within his body, silently reciting incantations, and casting the "soul Soothing Art."

As the immortal art was cast, a layer of light purple light shield emanated from his body, covering the surface of his body, overlapping with the previous light shield.

With the protection of this layer of purple light shield, the sharp pain from his soul finally eased slightly, and Fang Hong breathed a small sigh of relief.

But the Heavenly Fire continued, with no end in sight.

Moreover, Fang Hong could clearly feel that as time passed, the temperature of the Heavenly Fire grew higher and higher, and its power was constantly increasing.

The light of the two layers of light shields outside his body grew dimmer and dimmer, and the aura emitted by the Soul Nurturing Pearl and the demon soul banner also slowly weakened.

Clearly, the defensive effects of the two Immortal Artifacts were gradually fading, and the purple light shield formed by the Soul Soothing Art was also becoming thinner under the scorching of the Heavenly Fire.

Soon, Fang Hong felt the sharp pain in his soul intensify again, and he quickly took out a soul solidifying pill, without the slightest hesitation, and directly inhaled it into his mouth.
