437: Chapter 437 The Cycle of Obliteration and Rebirth, Yu Xin's Trembling Heart

As the Samsara Waterfall cascaded down, Lin Ran's skin seemed to melt away in an instant, revealing his inner flesh without reservation.

Immediately after, his blood dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye under the relentless washing of the Samsara Waterfall.

His entire being was reduced to nothing but stark white bones, with his internal organs and a thumping heart encased within.

Oh, right.

In Lin Ran's lower abdomen, there was still a Golden Core shimmering with mysterious light.

This was the very Golden Core he had condensed by Cultivating the Golden Core Purple Mansion Immortal Divine Technique!

However, his entire skeleton did not last long; it perished under the washing of the Samsara Waterfall, and it perished very quickly.

His internal organs and heart were also washed away, leaving only that Golden Core, which remained immovable and radiant.

But not long after, the Samsara Waterfall seemed to become enraged; it appeared not to allow any living creature to exist under its watch.

With the crushing power of the Reincarnation, the Golden Core shattered, ground into fragments without the slightest reservation.

Lin Ran's entire Physical Body was completely destroyed. The whole process occurred in a mere instant, so fast that even Yu Xin had not reacted.

Yu Xin opened her mouth silently, her pupils constricted violently, and her heart felt a tearing, agonizing pain in that instant.

Lin Ran accepted the washing of the Samsara Waterfall on the stone platform, each time reducing himself to a bloody mess, and each time it made her heart ache unbearably.

But at least the results were good; Lin Ran managed to survive every time, and with the help of the Divine Medicinal Bath and ointments, he was able to recover to his original state overnight each time.

But this time was different; Lin Ran had died completely before her eyes, a death where he had vanished into thin air!

Lin Ran's Physical Body was thoroughly annihilated, not even a single drop of essence blood remained!

Even the Golden Core he had Cultivated was crushed into nothingness!

Watching Lin Ran die before her eyes, the pain in Yu Xin's heart was something she herself could not describe.

She only knew that since she was young, she had experienced countless events, but never had she felt such heartbreak as she did now.

However!

Before she had felt the pain for long, the Samsara Waterfall suddenly emitted a hazy radiance, like a celestial river draped in a rosy garment, and the Reincarnation Origin spread madly in mid-air.

In the next second, Lin Ran's Golden Core, internal organs, heart, bones, flesh, and skin suddenly condensed again, and he sat cross-legged on the first stone platform once more.

Then, just like the previous steps, Lin Ran's Physical Body and Golden Core were crushed again, only to re-condense, falling into an infinite cycle of Reincarnation, repeating over and over again.

Seeing this scene, Yu Xin breathed a sigh of relief. So, Lin Ran was not dead!

This trial on the first stone platform was not just a tempering of Lin Ran's Physical Body, but also a test of his Dao Heart!

Just imagine, having one's Physical Body and Golden Core crushed and condensed over and over again. This could be said to be personally experiencing one's own death time and time again, and the most painful kind of death at that!

This kind of pain could make even the Divine Soul tremble in fear! If an ordinary Prodigy were here, I fear that within a day, their Dao Heart would inevitably collapse completely!

And once the Dao Heart collapses, that is the true death!

Although Yu Xin breathed a sigh of relief, her heartstrings remained taut. Watching this extreme and repetitive pain from the sidelines was enough to make her feel palpitations.

Could Lin Ran endure it?! Moreover, Lin Ran had to experience this pain continuously for forty-nine days.

If, during these forty-nine days, Lin Ran's Dao Heart showed any signs of collapsing, it would inevitably be like a deflated ball, and I fear there would be no saving him!

Just like that, with a restless heart, Yu Xin guarded Lin Ran alone by the Samsara Waterfall.

Although time passed day by day, Yu Xin's heart did not relax in the slightest; instead, it grew tighter and tighter.

She knew that the closer it got to the final moment, the less she could relax. Fortunately, although Lin Ran's Physical Body was still being annihilated and re-condensed, it looked completely normal, and there were no signs of it dissipating permanently.

That day.

Yu Xin calculated the time; today was already the final day. As long as he endured through today, Lin Ran would be able to leave the Samsara Waterfall and thus strike the Wheel of Swords!

She watched with eager anticipation, holding her breath and focusing intently on Lin Ran, letting the wind blow and grass sway around her, unable to shift her gaze even in the slightest.

Even from day to night, she had not moved a single bit.

"Today is almost over. It seems Lin Ran is going to succeed!"

Watching Lin Ran's Physical Body condense once again on the first stone platform, and calculating that today was about to end, Yu Xin felt genuinely happy for Lin Ran from the bottom of her heart.

For forty-nine whole days, she had been on tenterhooks every day, with no appetite for food or tea, just counting the days, hoping that Lin Ran could leave the Samsara Waterfall soon and strike the Wheel of Swords.

In just a few more minutes, she would no longer need to be anxious. This made her feel very relieved, and she couldn't help but hum lightly.

But the scene that followed made her completely panic.

Just before today was about to end, Lin Ran's Physical Body was annihilated once again. Although she didn't know how many times it had been annihilated, this time was different from the past.

In the past, even if Lin Ran's Physical Body was annihilated, it would re-condense within a few seconds. But this time, after Lin Ran's Physical Body was annihilated, there was absolutely no movement, and there was no sign of it re-condensing at all.

Upon noticing this abnormal scene, Yu Xin's heart sank to the bottom, and cold sweat streamed down.

Time waits for no one; in two and a half minutes, today would be completely over. And if, in these last two and a half minutes, Lin Ran's Physical Body did not condense, wouldn't that mean Lin Ran had failed?!

But how could this be possible?! Lin Ran was so powerful, such a Prodigy, and he had already endured forty-eight days, with only a few minutes left in the forty-ninth day. Why would something like this suddenly happen?!

Yu Xin simply could not believe what was happening before her eyes, but the fact that Lin Ran had failed to re-condense his Physical Body was like a sharp dagger, stabbing fiercely into her heart.

"Roar!"

In the boundless night, a Dragon's roar that shook the heavens and earth suddenly resounded, heard by almost every Disciple and Elder of the Zifu Holy Land.

Yu Xin looked up excitedly. The Yin Yang Origin Essence spread madly between heaven and earth. A colossal Dragon, ten thousand zhang long, as magnificent and majestic as a mountain range, with an ancient and far-reaching Aura, emerged in the night. Its massive Dragon body crushed the Void Realm, and the raised scales on its body looked like small hills, sharp and imposing!

"Fairy Yu, I have kept you waiting."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded beside Yu Xin's ear, causing her delicate body to tremble slightly.
