Chapter 2929: Latecomers Surpass the Early Birds!

Eighth forging!

Impressive! Impressive! Qin Shitian really has the momentum to catch up!

Dongyang the Great Emperor truly has sharp eyes! Qin Shitian has finally erupted this time!

...

After the fourteenth type of Dao Fire descended, Qin Shitian finally broke through to the eighth forging!

Thus, the crowd was ignited once again.

At this point in the trial, nothing else was worth paying attention to.

Although Zhou Yu and He Chen were still struggling to hold on, no one cared about them anymore.

These two would withdraw sooner or later.

The only thing worth watching was the contest between Ye Yuan and Qin Shitian!

The battle of six versus seven had now passed the second seven!

Qin Shitian had the momentum of a latecomer surpassing the early bird!

Meanwhile, Ye Yuan still showed no movement.

At this moment, Qin Shitian seemed to be gathering momentum, waiting to soar to the sky!

After his great enlightenment, he indeed did not disappoint Dongyang the Great Emperor, displaying astonishing perseverance and potential!

You see, after fourteen types of Dao Fire, it was like the second half of the Soul-Refining Path, with difficulty skyrocketing.

The Soul-Refining Furnace was glazed and transparent.

Everyone could see that inside, it was filled with multicolored chaotic Dao Fire.

Under fourteen types of Dao Fire, it was not as simple as one plus one equals two.

Inside the Soul-Refining Furnace, the soul body endured endless pain at every moment; the slightest mistake meant annihilation!

Even Qin Shitian and Ye Yuan were no exception!

One could understand that pain just by looking at Zhou Yu and He Chen.

But Qin Shitian broke through again and again, igniting everyone's passion!

However, everyone understood that what followed was the most severe test!

Qin Shitian had said that after twenty-one types of Dao Fire, even ten forgings would be useless.

That is to say, between fourteen and twenty-one types was the limit for the two of them.

Who would win, who would lose—perhaps the truth would soon be revealed!

When the sixteenth type of Dao Fire descended, He Chen could not hold on and withdrew.

At the seventeenth type, Zhou Yu also could not hold on.

At this point, there was no one else in the Soul-Refining Furnace, only Ye Yuan and Qin Shitian.

On Ye Yuan's side, it had been very quiet, with no movement at all, as if he was just coasting along waiting for death.

Meanwhile, Qin Shitian's side became the focus of everyone's attention.

Inside the Soul-Refining Furnace, Qin Shitian cried out in agony.

But his momentum grew stronger and stronger!

Finally, after the twentieth type of Dao Fire descended, he broke through again!

Ninth forging!

At this, even Dongyang the Great Emperor could not remain calm.

He had high hopes for Qin Shitian, but he never expected Qin Shitian to give him one surprise after another.

Ninth forging!

Before the temple entry assessment, Dongyang the Great Emperor had never even thought of it.

He had long anticipated that after passing the three trials, Qin Shitian would have no problem breaking through to the seventh forging.

But now he had already reached the ninth forging!

Tied! Now they are back on the same starting line!

This time, the latecomer truly surpasses the early bird!

Tenth forging! Will the legendary tenth forging appear?

There is still half the number of Dao Fires left! If they can really withstand it, the tenth forging will definitely appear!

...

After the second trial, everyone thought the third trial would become boring.

Who would have thought that Qin Shitian, knowing shame and then becoming brave, would miraculously catch up!

Having reached the ninth forging, Qin Shitian was now on par with Ye Yuan!

Haha, I was right about this kid! Already at the ninth forging, in my view, he will surely step into the tenth forging! Dongyang the Great Emperor had abandoned his imperial reserve and laughed triumphantly.

The two great emperors, Xi Chen and Lin Fang, glanced at Zhou Yu and He Chen, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

In this contest, they had lost utterly and completely!

Who could have imagined that Qin Shitian could be so heaven-defying, awakening in adversity and soaring to the skies?

The legendary tenth refinement!

From the ninth to the tenth refinement was a huge hurdle!

A hundred times harder than stepping into the imperial realm!

For one who achieved the tenth refinement, entering the imperial realm was trivial.

As long as they did not fall, their future achievement would be at least a great emperor of the origin level!

If one truly reached the tenth refinement, it was truly a fish leaping over the dragon gate, soaring to the skies!

Compared to the rising Qin Shitian, Ye Yuan at this moment seemed much dimmer.

In fact, Ye Yuan had long reached the peak of the ninth refinement, only one step away from the tenth.

But he had encountered a bottleneck.

In truth, this was only to be expected.

What Ye Yuan cultivated was the powerful soul clan scripture, "Divine Derivation."

Moreover, he had previously broken through from the second to the ninth refinement too smoothly and too quickly.

Thus, stepping into the tenth refinement was naturally a hundred or a thousand times harder for him than for others!

One after another, chaotic dao fires descended, and the pain and pressure Ye Yuan endured multiplied.

The agony of the dao fire refining his soul made him wish he were dead.

When the twenty-first type of dao fire descended, he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

He had reached his limit!

As the great emperor Dongyang had said, his previous advantages were now completely gone!

What followed was a contest of willpower and potential!

Of course, the pain Qin Shitian endured was no less than Ye Yuan's.

Although he had broken through to the ninth refinement, under the叠加 of twenty-one types of chaotic dao fire, the ninth refinement did not offer much advantage.

Thus, the two fell into an extremely dangerous state.

"Ahhh!"

In the soul-refining furnace, Qin Shitian continued to howl in pain, appearing quite imposing.

"Why do I feel that Qin Shitian is sure to win this time?"

"I think so too! Ye Yuan has clearly exhausted his potential and cannot enter the tenth refinement!"

"Although Qin Shitian is in a sorry state, his voice is full of vigor! And now he is pressing forward with all his might, likely to break this shackle!"

...

At this moment, the situation between Ye Yuan and Qin Shitian had completely reversed.

Qin Shitian had turned the tables in adversity, completely suppressing Ye Yuan.

The twenty-eight fires were activated!

One after another, dao fires descended in sequence.

Inside the soul-refining furnace, it became even more colorful.

These colors looked very beautiful, but they were extremely dangerous.

Qin Shitian had been howling in agony, but soon he could no longer howl.

His howling gradually weakened.

This also indicated that the power of the dao fire in the soul-refining furnace had reached an extremely terrifying level!

However, Qin Shitian still relied on his astonishing willpower to endure the twenty-eight fires!

This had already broken the record of Ninglan's Soul Refining Hall!

Next came the thirty-five fires!

As soon as the thirty-five fires were activated, Qin Shitian and Ye Yuan both let out a muffled groan.

Their soul bodies actually began to dissipate!

Their ninth-refinement soul bodies were actually beginning to be refined away!

Everyone held their breath, watching as the soul bodies of the two gradually weakened.

"Void dao fire! The void dao fire is here! Can the two of them survive it?" Suddenly, someone exclaimed in shock.

This void dao fire was the last type of the thirty-five fires, the thirty-fifth type of dao fire!

"Ahhhh! Break through! Break through for me! I, Qin Shitian, will never die here!"

Qin Shitian, who had been extremely weak, suddenly roared madly.

Then, a wave of immense power emanated from the soul-refining furnace!

"Tenth refinement! Qin Shitian has broken through to the tenth refinement! Heaven-defying! Heaven-defying!" This time, it was the great emperor Dongyang who exclaimed in shock.
