Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Ethan’s heart suddenly lurched!

This is bad!

“Crack crack crack!”

Then, the sound of shattering resonated through his body again!

One after another, his bones started to break!

The pain in his body intensified several times over!

“Not good…” Ethan endured the pain, glaring at the broken bones throughout his body.

Every bone in his body couldn’t withstand the flames!

At this moment, Ethan felt completely hopeless.

His golden core was exposed, and the flames seemed to have divine sense, directly targeting his golden core!

“It’s over,” Ethan’s face turned pale as ash.

The flames continued to burn his bones, snapping every inch of his skeleton.

Ethan’s face was pale and his heart filled with despair.

As time passed, his bones were enveloped in the flames, it was unclear how long.

Just when Ethan was hopeless, he noticed that the bones wrapped in flames didn’t break further!

Every inch of bone was even slowly healing!

Ethan’s eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed, “There’s still hope!”

Like grasping for a lifeline, he anxiously activated the spiritual power in his body, doing his best to recover his shattered bones!

As expected, under the enhancement of his spiritual power, the shattered bones started to gradually heal!

This provocative behavior naturally angered the true fire!

The flames instantly intensified, breaking Ethan’s bones again!

The sounds of “crack crack” were endless, and intense pain shot through him once more!

Ethan gritted his teeth and activated his spiritual power, doing his best to protect his bones.

Just like before, after the bones were fractured, they did not continue to crumble!

Although enveloped in flames, the standstill held for an instant!

In no time, the bones shimmered and started to heal once again!

“Great!” Ethan momentarily forgot about the pain and couldn’t help but cheer!

The three purple-robed men above seemed to have heard the sound.

The trio quickly gathered around the fiery pit, frowning and saying, “Did you hear that sound? It seems like it was Ethan’s voice.”

“Yes, the boy is indeed not dead.”

“Let’s wait here. The earlier wailing is enough to show that he can’t endure much longer.”

Granted, the harsh environment of the desert made them somewhat uncomfortable.

Despite their unparalleled cultivation, they still experienced dry mouths and parched tongues under the power of nature.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Throughout these three days, Ethan’s bones constantly shattered and healed.

Again and again, Ethan had grown almost accustomed to it.

He could even coexist with the pain, fearless!

With each healing, the intensity of the flames increased!

This body refinement process was also honing Ethan’s willpower and divine sense!

Ethan sat cross-legged beneath the fiery pit, his eyes slightly closed, allowing the flames to sweep over him.

As time went by, half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The three purple-robed men above seemed to have lost patience.

“With such a harsh environment, if we continue to stay here, we might die,” one of them furrowed his brow and said.

“Indeed, it seems my Inner Strength is almost depleted, this environment is too terrifying,” another agreed.

“We are experiencing such pain outside, so how could Ethan below the pit survive? He must have turned into blood by now.”

Under such conditions, the three seemed to give up and even wanted to leave.

“Wait a bit longer,” the leader among the three said seriously.

“We’ve waited for so long already, a few more days won’t make a difference. We can’t be sure without seeing his corpse.”

Having no choice, the trio continued to wait.

Down the fiery pit.

Ethan had completely adapted to this rhythm.

Moreover, the intensity of the flames seemed to have reached their peak.

The speed of healing with each break increased.

Seeing this, Ethan confidently said, “I’m not afraid of you anymore.”

The flames seemed to understand Ethan’s provocative words and became wildly agitated.

The flames surged toward Ethan’s body, but they couldn’t even make a dent.

Ethan laughed heartily, saying, “Is that all you’ve got? So-called true fire? Tsk tsk, you’re nothing special after all, hahaha!”

At that moment, Ethan’s bones had completed their eight hundred and thirty-sixth rounds of healing!

After this round of healing, the true fire couldn’t break Ethan’s bones again!

His bones became incomparably tenacious, shining brightly under the shroud of the flames!

“Now it’s time to restore the flesh and blood,” Ethan revealed a big grin.

He knew very well that this would be another extremely painful process, but as long as he endured it, he would see daylight through the clouds!

“Sizzle…”

Flesh and blood began to grow on Ethan’s bones.

The moment the flesh and blood formed, it was instantly evaporated by the flames.

But Ethan was not discouraged; he continued to restore his flesh and blood.

Once, twice, three times…

Ethan’s flesh and blood went from being directly evaporated to gradually taking a few seconds to melt. Finally, the flames could only cook Ethan’s flesh without immediately evaporating it.

In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.

And Ethan’s body had healed more than half.

His restored flesh turned golden; even without using the Saintly Body Skill, his physical body was unparalleled!

Above, the three purple-robed men had completely lost hope.

“The boy is dead. We can go,” one of the purple-robed men said as he stood up.

After enduring bitterly for a whole month, he could no longer keep going!

Both purple-robed men looked at their leader, waiting for his command to leave.

“Wait for three more days, just three more days!” the leader said coldly.

“If he doesn’t show up after three days, then we’ll leave.”

“Is it necessary? No one could survive a whole month under the true fire,” another frowned.

The leader glared at him and coldly replied, “This boy is someone who forced his way through the stairway to heaven. With him, anything is possible.”

The trio had no choice but to nod in agreement.

…

Below, Ethan’s body had fully recovered.

As he walked through the true fire, he was completely unscathed!

Although the flames tried to devour Ethan, they couldn’t hurt him at all.

“True fire… I really have to thank you,” Ethan said, looking at his body shimmering with a golden glow, unable to help but laugh.

The flames were angered again, roaring without the presence of wind.

Ethan laughed loudly, “Hahaha, don’t be angry, because… anger won’t help you!”

Leaving those words behind, Ethan stomped his feet and leaped towards the mouth of the fiery pit!
