In the past few days, Lily Tisdale and her group also tried cultivating in the Dark Valley.
But they couldn’t stay for a few minutes before running out.
The reason was simply that the energy containing the Power of Darkness Attribute in the valley was too terrifying.
Not only could this energy ravage a cultivator’s body, but it could also impact their mental state!
It was truly a double torment!
And because of this, Lily Tisdale and her group simply couldn’t stay inside.
"Let’s go, let’s check it out," Lily Tisdale said, waving her hand and dashing towards the Dark Valley.
Bardon Bard, Prajna Bates, and Pill Levin followed her.
Soon, the four of them reached the mountain peak where the Dark Valley was located.
Through the thick black fog, they could barely make out Lionel Yeager.
Lionel Yeager was seated at the center of the valley, his eyes tightly shut, his body covered in wounds, already soaked in blood.
Although some of the injuries had healed, many were still in the process of healing.
Over the last five days, he had been moving between the nine valleys, cultivating in them wildly, his body constantly cycling between injury and healing.
But it was precisely because of this that his physique had become even tougher.
Furthermore, the powers of the six attributes—Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Thunder—previously possessed by his body had become even purer.
Especially the Thunder and Fire attribute powers he was born with were purer than the others.
The purer the attribute power, the greater the explosive force it could release.
He had even gained control over the powers of Wind and Ice attributes.
Now, only the Power of Darkness Attribute remained unconquered.
Last night, he had entered the Dark Valley and withstood seven or eight hours of dark energy impact.
Only now had he gradually adapted to it.
At this moment.
Boom, Boom, Boom!...
The dark energy, like a mountain collapse or a tsunami, continually washed over Lionel Yeager’s body from all directions, roaring and exploding with sounds!
With every impact, fresh blood spattered from Lionel Yeager’s body!
After all, Lionel Yeager was no longer using a True Qi Shield to defend himself and was completely withstanding the onslaught with his body!
Even his skin was absorbing the force of darkness, his mouth and nose breathing it in!
Fortunately, Lionel Yeager’s self-healing ability became increasingly formidable, and the speed at which his body repaired itself also accelerated significantly!
However, while enduring physical pain, Lionel Yeager’s mind was also under assault!
It was as if he had entered an illusionary realm where the enemies he had either defeated or not emerged one after another!
It was as if all the battles he had gone through in the past were being replayed over and over again!
Even the scenes of collapse, pain, and despair he had experienced were all presented!
"Extinguish! Vanish, all of you!"
In the illusionary realm, Lionel Yeager, wielding the Dragon Emperor Sword, swung one sword after the other furiously, bellowing with each slash as the projected scenes and illusions were all slashed down!
"Hu... Hu... Hu..."
He gasped for air heavily.
Even though he knew these were not real battles, he felt endlessly exhausted.
This was not physical exhaustion but mental fatigue.
The key was he simply could not wake up now, as if trapped here.
At this moment.
The battles he’d gone through and the enemies he had encountered reappeared once more.
Lionel Yeager’s expression turned grave!
Here it came again!
How many times had it been?
It seemed like the seventh time, right?
How many more times would he have to go through this?
Would he ever be able to wake up?
While Lionel Yeager was stunned,
the illusions launched another fierce attack on him!
Lionel Yeager gritted his teeth and counterattacked!
At this moment.
On the distant mountain peak.
Lily Tisdale and her group also realized something was wrong.
Although Lionel Yeager still sat unmoving at the center of the valley,
his brows were furrowed, his face covered in sweat, veins bulging, and his expression ferocious.
"What’s wrong with Mr. Yeager? He seems to be in pain," asked Prajna Bates, worriedly.
"Mr. Yeager must have suffered a mental shock," replied Lily Tisdale, and then added, "This Dark Valley can temper not only the cultivator’s body but also their mentality."
"Mr. Tisdale is right," nodded Pill Levin, and said, "The path of cultivation isn’t just about refining the body, but also the mind.
Only when both body and mind are strong will the future path of cultivation be smoother and wider.
It’s said that when Crossing Tribulation, one will also encounter inner demons. If the will isn’t strong enough, one can’t successfully cross the tribulation.
If Brother Yeager can get through this, it will be easier for him when he faces Crossing Tribulation later on."
Bardon Bard clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth as he said, "Brother Yeager, you must hang in there!"
"Mr. Yeager, keep going strong!"
