Eternal Sacred King
chapter-2315

The Martial Dao Prime Body had witnessed the scene of 16 Lesser Hells with his own eyes. Be it the pain of having one's heart dug out or brains removed, none of that could compare to a fraction of the pain caused by the Avici Hellfire!

How would it feel to have the extreme pain of millions of living beings gathered together?

The Martial Dao Prime Body could not defend against it either and was about to cry out!

The most terrifying thing was that one would have to endure the endless pain and torture in Greater Avici until their lifespans were exhausted!

In Greater Avici, one could not commit suicide even if they could not withstand the pain!

What was even more frightening was that the Hellfire could incinerate one's Essence Spirit directly.

The pain on the Essence Spirit was a thousand times more intense than on the body!

Before long, the Martial Dao Prime Body could not withstand the pain and even fainted.

However, right on the heels of that, he was awakened by an even more intense burning pain, causing him to maintain a state of consciousness as he endured the painful will of Greater Avici once more.

After a while, the Martial Dao Prime Body fainted from the pain again.

But soon, he was awakened and endured the pain as the process repeated itself time and again.

There was no pause to the endless suffering!

Finally, the Martial Dao Prime Body experienced the true terror of Greater Avici!

For any living being that entered Greater Avici, death was a relief for them.

In fact, that thought flashed through the mind of the Martial Dao Prime Body for a moment.

But soon, he cast those distracting thoughts aside and defended his Dao Heart to the death!

If he had not undertaken the trial of the Dao Heart Stairs and condensed the tenth stone step by strengthening his Martial Dao Heart, the Martial Dao Prime Body would definitely not have been able to survive in Greater Avici

His Dao Heart would have collapsed before long.

While the Martial Dao Prime Body endured the pain, he tried his best to maintain his clarity and composure.

The pain was unbearable and could not be stopped. Those were facts that he could not change and could only accept.

He did not know how he could leave this place either.

No matter where he went in Greater Avici, the pain would accompany him at all times and the Hellfire would never extinguish!

The Martial Dao Prime Body did not give up.

A bold thought crossed his mind!

Since the Martial Dao Furnace could smelt all divine powers and nurture a hundred sutras, why couldn't he attempt to fuse the Hellfire into his body?

Back in Tianhuang Mainland, after the Martial Dao Prime Body underwent Tribulation Transcendence repeatedly, he smelted a wisp of Tribulation Fire through the Heavenly Tribulation.

And now, the Martial Dao Prime Body decided to attempt to smelt the Hellfire on his body!

The Martial Dao Prime Body had a huge advantage.

His Essence Spirit, the Martial Spirit, was a ball of flames to begin with!

Therefore, his Essence Spirit and Hellfire were of the same origin and had similarities.

Of course, his Martial Spirit Fire was way too weak.

The first time the Martial Dao Prime Body tried to smelt the Hellfire, his Martial Spirit Fire was drowned by it the moment it appeared.

His Essence Spirit endured endless pain once more.

The Martial Dao Prime Body continued trying.

He could not sense the passage of time or the changes in his environment. He could only try to smelt Hellfire continuously, even if it was just a wisp!

During this period of time, the Martial Dao Prime Body fainted and failed countless times.

He could no longer remember.

It had almost become a habit and persistence for him.

He smelted Hellfire and fainted from the pain. Right on the heels of that, he woke up and smelted again… and so on.

After a long time, finally, after the Martial Dao Prime Body channeled his Essence Spirit, a weak wisp of flame was condensed. It was identical to the Hellfire on his body and had the same aura!

Of course, his cultivation realm was too low and the Hellfire he conjured was far inferior to the flames of the Avici Hellfire, let alone fight against it.

Even so, the Martial Dao Prime Body was even more excited.

The additional wisp of Hellfire would not help him escape from Greater Avici. However, it would allow him to smelt the sutras and secret skills better.

Over the years, the Martial Dao Prime Body had collected many sutras and secret skills.

During this period of time, he even went through a Taboo Mystic Classic, the Prajna Nirvana Sutra, through the Green Lotus True Body.

However, the Martial Spirit Fire, Tribulation Fire, Red Lotus Karmic Fire and Dragon Phoenix Flames alone could not smelt Taboo Mystic Classics or some obscure ancient texts.

Therefore, it was difficult for the Martial Dao Prime Body to comprehend the essence and profoundness of those ancient texts and mystic classics.

But now, with the addition of a wisp of Hellfire, the Martial Dao Furnace became even stronger and its smelting power increased exponentially. In fact, it even smelted all the ancient texts that were previously difficult to understand and the sutras of the Taboo Mystic Classic!

During this period of time, the Martial Dao Prime Body discovered something else while smelting Hellfire—it was a blessing in disguise.

Initially, his body was already tainted by the fiend qi of Emperor Bo Xun. Be it his bones, flesh or organs, they all contained the aura of fiends.

Given his strength, he could not purge the fiend qi at all.

However, after being burned by the Hellfire in Greater Avici repeatedly, the fiend qi left in his body by Emperor Bo Xun was burned away cleanly!

Of course, there was no Heaven and Earth Essence Qi in Avici and his injuries showed no signs of healing.

The nine Fate Rings were shattered by Emperor Bo Xun and floated within his body.

The Martial Dao Prime Body comprehended and deduced the Dharmic formulation of the Martial Dao as he smelted the ancient sutras.

Although he had fallen into Greater Avici and could not leave, enduring the pain endlessly, he held onto the heart of the Martial Dao and did not give up on deducing the Dharmic formulation of the Martial Dao—he was still advancing on this arduous path!

This was the meaning of the Martial Dao Prime Body's existence and his Dao!

In truth, all Dharmic formulations would inevitably converge into one.

For example, although the immortal, Buddhist and fiend Daos cultivated different Dharmic formulations, their cultivation realms were similar.

After passing through the Black, Earth and Heaven Essence realms, the three essences would converge. Thereafter, one would condense a Dao Fruit and advance to the Perfected One realm before going on to the Grotto-heaven realm to be conferred as kings.

In other words, it was not impossible even if the Martial Dao Prime Body wanted to condense his Fate Rings into a Dao Fruit now. However, he did not want to give up just like that.

While it may be inevitable for all Daos to converge as one in the end, he wanted to try his best to perfect the Martial Dao as much as possible before that!

After a long time, perhaps a few months or hundreds of years, a thought gradually appeared in the mind of the Martial Dao Prime Body.

As time passed by and countless sutras were smelted by the Martial Dao Furnace, the thought developed further!

A realization flashed through the mind of the Martial Dao Prime Body.

The greatest difference between the Martial Dao and the immortal, fiend and Buddhist Daos was already obvious when the Martial Dao was established.

The immortal, fiend and Buddhist Daos absorbed the Spirit Qi and Essence Qi of the world to cultivate and comprehend, making use of the Heaven and Earth powers to fight.

The Martial Dao was initially established for cultivators without spirit roots. Every single step of the Martial Dao was to cultivate oneself.

After the Heaven Essence realm, immortals, Buddhas and fiends would condense a Dao Fruit in their consciousness using the Dharmic Dao they had cultivated for their entire lives.

On the other hand, the Martial Dao Prime Body attempted to imprint the Dharmic Dao of the nine Fate Rings on his bones to continue strengthening himself and eventually condense the True Martial Dao Body!

The immortal, Buddhist and fiend Daos condensed Dao Fruits while the Martial Dao condensed a Dao Body!

The next realm of the Martial Dao was the True Martial realm!
