Chapter 39: The Power of Refinement
As the low-level human race underwent refinement in the array, their screams of agony echoed through the halls. To Ye Tian, however, it was not the cries of pain that he heard, but the sweet melody of progress—the sound of potential being unlocked and strength being forged.
Meanwhile, the high-level array meant for ancestor and holy-level beings proved to be a grueling challenge. Most were unable to endure the cruel regime, their bodies breaking under the immense pressure. But to Ye Tian's surprise, two individuals stood out among the rest—Devine Fist and Chu Zheng.
For 100 days, Chu Zheng endured the relentless pressure of the array, emerging with a peak holy body strength despite only having early holy-level cultivation. But it was Devine Fist who truly shocked Ye Tian. After 1000 days of refinement, his body crackled as if shackles were being broken, and upon emerging from the array, Ye Tian felt a palpable sense of suppression emanating from him.
Intrigued, Ye Tian invited Devine Fist and other high-level beings to test his newfound strength. To everyone's amazement, Devine Fist effortlessly defeated them all with his body strength alone. Ye Tian realized that Devine Fist had achieved Emperor-level body strength, a feat previously unheard of.
Realizing the potential consequences of such power falling into the wrong hands, Ye Tian made the decision to keep this information secret, fearing that it would attract the coveting gaze of Emperor-level enemies. With the human race still fragile and unable to withstand multiple Emperor-level powers, it was imperative to maintain secrecy and avoid drawing unnecessary attention to their newfound strength.
And so, as the low-level humans continued their refinement in the array, unaware of the monumental changes taking place within their ranks, Ye Tian and his allies prepared for the challenges that lay ahead, knowing that their newfound strength would be their greatest weapon in the battles to come.
