407: Master pain, but also fear pain

"Impossible!"

"I actually can't feel your pain!"

The suppressed figure became enraged, and a suffocating aura emerged.

Chu Ying felt like he was about to suffocate, but then his hands, still not obeying him, shattered his teeth, forcibly pulled out his tongue, and slowly tore off the skin from his entire body.

"Hiss!"

Psychologically, Chu Ying knew this was extremely painful, but with the side effects transferred, he felt nothing at all.

"No, if this continues, I might kill myself!"

Chu Ying's eyes became frenzied, filled with blood, he truly couldn't feel pain, but this would lead to his own death!

The golden bamboo slip floating before him emitted an eerie light, transmitting more and more power to Chu Ying, already exceeding the Array Formation Realm Ninth Level, continuously approaching and reaching the boundary of a Venerable!

At a certain moment, when Chu Ying's still movable hand was manipulated to crush his own heart and incinerate it in a raging fire, his aura finally broke through the Array Formation Realm and reached the Venerable Realm!

An existence comparable to a Great Saint!

"Argh! Get lost!" Chu Ying angrily swung his sword at the suppressed figure in front.

If this boundless and terrifying sword strike were in any of the Three Great Empires of the Barren Ancient World, or anywhere else in the outside world, it would cause the heavens and earth to change color, and the void to shatter and collapse.

Yet, such a sword strike caused not the slightest harm to the suppressed figure.

"Strange... strange..."

The figure continued to murmur, his voice ancient and ethereal, as if it had traveled through endless time and space, through billions of Starry Skies.

Chu Ying was utterly shocked, unable to believe it.

"You, why do you not feel pain?"

The figure looked at Chu Ying, and Chu Ying instinctively met his gaze.

That was... Bar Hiel's gaze. Chu Ying finally felt profound pain; his entire being seemed to enter an indescribable world where Bar Hiel's presence was everywhere. He sacrificed supreme pain, reaching an almost invincible state.

His combat power was invincible; his body could be shattered, but he would not die.

Divine Restriction Domain?

As Chu Ying was horrified, his breathing became extremely rapid, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was covered in sweat.

He averted his gaze, and a monstrous wave surged in his heart.

After a moment, Chu Ying suddenly understood a few things, recalling the words of the Ao Jing Sect member, Chu Ying's eyes narrowed sharply.

"Sacrificing pain, you can actually gain your power."

In that state just now, Chu Ying's side effect System actually failed to transfer the pain; at that instant, he was in extreme agony, an experience he would never forget even if he ended his own life.

But it was also in that instant that he felt himself enter an indescribable special state; he felt he could challenge infinitely, challenge beings with higher cultivation than himself. He possessed invincible combat power, an immortal body; his body could be shattered, but he would not die!

"I am the master who achieved Dao through pain, the 'Siming of the Nine Heavens.' My power is endless."

'Sacrifice your pain, and I shall bestow power upon you.'

The suppressed figure nodded, as if finally showing a hint of relief, perhaps because he felt pain from Chu Ying.

"Hehehehe."

Chu Ying sneered continuously, sacrificing pain? In that state just now, what kind of will would it take to endure it? Let alone normal people, even those with the firmest Dao Hearts would probably go mad with pain and die within a few breaths, right?

He truly was a fallen, dark, and evil existence, even the power he wielded was so evil and terrifying.

Chu Ying looked down at his disfigured body and suddenly said, "You were suppressed here by the Black Tortoise."

The figure was surprised: "You actually know?"

Chu Ying's eyes flickered; the mountain-like trunk suppressing the figure was a Black Tortoise phantom, not the true Divine Beast Black Tortoise Chu Ying had imagined.

"Sacrifice your pain to help me leave, and I will bestow upon you the power of a Great Emperor."

The figure began to speak enticingly.

"Don't you want to possess that power from earlier?"

"I can become your faith, making you invincible in this world."

Chu Ying's expression became indifferent; he would not believe in anyone.

"Presumably, you are not the true body, otherwise you wouldn't be suppressed here. Perhaps it's a split soul? Or a wisp of consciousness?"

Chu Ying stated his guess, smiling calmly, "This thing, is it the medium for sacrificing pain to obtain your power?"

Chu Ying looked at the golden bamboo slip floating before him, on which three mysterious golden characters, seemingly made of blood, faintly appeared: Great Thousand Record!

In the Great Thousand World, pain is omnipresent. Pain, as the evilest of sins, should not exist. Sacrifice pain, enjoy eternity...

The characters on the bamboo slip were so simple and clear, yet the methods of increasing pain recorded within were chilling to behold, making one tremble and shiver.

"I wonder if you've ever experienced the feeling of pain?"

Chu Ying suddenly grinned with a wicked smile.

The suppressed figure was very calm, not understanding the meaning of Chu Ying's words.

The next moment, Chu Ying transferred the side effect to the figure in front of him. He didn't need to know the other party's true name; that was just a code name, unimportant.

He only needed to have seen the other party.

Chu Ying then met the figure's gaze again, Bar Hiel's gaze!

His eyeballs seemed to stare into the world's most scorching, most dazzling, most painful light. From the soles of his feet to the top of his head, from outside to inside, an unspeakable, whole-body pain reappeared.

This was a pain that even Chu Ying's side effect transfer couldn't transfer.

It could only mean that it had exceeded the scope of side effects, and the degree of pain was unimaginable.

A scream rang out.

But it wasn't just from Chu Ying; it also came from the suppressed figure, a scream that was both novel and furious.

"Hahaha!"

"Wielding pain? Achieving Dao through pain? Then why do you also feel pain? Haha!"

Chu Ying's eyes were bloodshot; he threw his head back and laughed wildly, as if trying to alleviate some of his own pain. He only felt that every second now was as long as a year.

Chu Ying's eyes were chaotic and dazed, yet they revealed a hint of determination. At this moment, no one could help him; only he could help himself!

He tried to clench his teeth, but only then realized that his teeth were already shattered, and his tongue was gone. His earlier words had been emitted from his throat through True Qi.

"Ho ho ho ho..."

Chu Ying looked at the "Great Thousand Record" in front of him and suddenly plunged his remaining blood-soaked right hand into his own eye socket.

His two eyeballs were gouged out by Chu Ying himself.

It should have been a heart-wrenching pain, but Chu Ying felt nothing, because this was not looking into Bar Hiel's gaze.

However, this pain was still transferred by Chu Ying to that figure!

The painful howling still existed, but it wasn't Chu Ying's; it was from the suppressed figure, who should be a part of Bar Hiel.

"Ahhh!"

"You, you can actually make me feel pain!"

The figure's ancient, indifferent, god-like voice finally showed shock and fear.

He feared pain.

Precisely because he wielded pain, he feared pain even more.
