Chapter 048: Hun Yu's Failed Cultivation

"Ah!" After reprimanding Hun Feng and Hun Yu, Hun Tiandi let out a sigh.

As the wise and illustrious Hun Tiandi, he never expected to have such useless sons in his later years. His reputation was ruined.

Swish!

With a wave of his hand, a tremendous force surged towards Hun Feng and Hun Yu.

Unable to dodge in time, they were struck by the immense power.

Their bodies flew backward and crashed into the wall before slowly descending to the ground.

"Pfft!"

A sweet taste filled their throats as they coughed up blood, their faces pale.

Kneeling on the ground, they weakly raised their hands and felt their spiritual energy dissipating completely.

They exclaimed in disbelief, "Spiritual energy... my spiritual energy has been crippled!"

Hun Feng and Hun Yu stared at their palms, sensing the fading spiritual energy within their bodies, unable to retain it.

Their pupils dilated, struggling to comprehend what had just happened. They were supposed to be the hope of the Soul Clan, but their own father had crippled their spiritual energy?

Was this for real?

Their minds went blank, unable to process the sudden turn of events.

They were unprepared, caught off guard by their father's actions. It felt like a sudden strike, just like that...

Hun Feng and Hun Yu's heads buzzed with confusion, their minds in a state of blankness.

They kept murmuring about their crippled spiritual energy. Clearly, they were struggling to accept the reality of it all.

"Hmph!" Hun Tiandi looked at the two kneeling figures, seemingly dumbfounded and fixated on their own hands, and snorted coldly.

He was seething with anger, not sparing any sympathy.

With a disdainful snort, he turned and left the scene.

Immediately, the figure of Hun Tiandi disappeared and reappeared in front of Hun Feng and Hun Yu, looking down at them from a higher position.

He couldn't help but feel that his sons had wasted the exceptional bloodline running through their bodies.

Shaking his head, Hun Tiandi emanated a faint but oppressive aura that enveloped Hun Feng and Hun Yu.

Sensing this pressure, the two gradually regained their senses and weakly called out, "Father!"

There was a hint of fear in their dilated pupils.

"I instructed you to cultivate the Flame Mantra, yet you were here competing for a woman's attention, neglecting your cultivation. I have crippled your spiritual energy. From today onwards, focus on your cultivation!"

Hun Tiandi declared coldly.

"As for the girl you mentioned, Xun'er, I have already taken care of her."

Boom!

Hun Tiandi's words echoed in the depths of Hun Feng and Hun Yu's hearts, stirring up a storm of emotions.

Both of them were dumbfounded.

It was over.

Their beloved Xun'er was gone.

They understood the meaning behind Hun Tiandi's words.

Their love had come to an end.

Facing the bewildered and lost Hun Feng and Hun Yu, Hun Tiandi turned his back and said, "You pathetic fools, go back and focus on your cultivation!"

"As my sons, you should have prioritized your cultivation instead of wasting time on women. You have greatly disappointed me."

"Yes!" Upon hearing Hun Tiandi's words, Hun Feng and Hun Yu slowly climbed up from the ground, their minds in disarray, and left the hall aimlessly.

"Hmph! Two useless wastes!"

Hun Tiandi watched Hun Feng and Hun Yu, who were leaving in a daze, and shook his head in anger.

"A mere seductress turned them into such a state. Truly, the allure of beauty is terrifying."

Shaking his head, Hun Tiandi gradually vanished from the hall.

In the following days, Hun Feng and Hun Yu became more obedient.

Upon learning that their "Xun'er" was no more, they earnestly focused on cultivating the Flame Mantra.

In just a few days, they successfully condensed their Dou Qi and became warriors. They both began practicing the Flame Mantra.

The Flame Mantra was indeed not difficult to cultivate.

After all, it was merely a low-grade Huang-ranked technique.

What difficulty could it pose?

They had successfully cultivated high-grade Tian-ranked techniques, so what challenge did this low-grade Huang-ranked technique present?

The two of them cultivated the Flame Mantra and, within a month, advanced from warriors to Dou Shi level.

It's good to have a strong support.

Such cultivation speed, if placed in a remote area, would probably make countless people feel ashamed and exclaim, "This person is terrifying! They have the potential to become a Dou Di!"

When they reached the Dou Shi level, Hun Tiandi sent the Fallen Heart Flame to Hun Yu and the Bone Chilling Flame to Hun Feng.

In Hun Tiandi's view, with their current strength as Dou Shi and the cultivation resources and medicinal assistance available in the Soul Clan, they should be able to refine the heavenly flame.

After all, they were the sons of Hun Tiandi. If they couldn't refine the Heavenly Flame under these circumstances, they would truly be useless.

When the Heavenly Flame and the materials for refining it were presented to Hun Feng and Hun Yu, they understood.

Their father wanted them to refine the Heavenly Flame.

In fact, when they just reached the Dou Shi level, they had already wanted to try refining the Heavenly Flame and experience the wonders of this technique.

Unfortunately, they didn't have the Heavenly Flame at that time.

But now, everything was ready. They didn't hesitate and began the process of refining the Heavenly Flame.

On that day, Hun Feng and Hun Yu simultaneously started refining the Heavenly Flame.

Despite their inadequate strength as Dou Shis in the face of the formidable Heavenly Flame, they showed no fear.

They were the sons of Hun Tiandi, the hope of the Soul Clan, blessed with extraordinary bloodlines.

How could a mere Heavenly Flame stop them?

...

"Ah..."

In Hun Yu's room, he was refining the Fallen Heart Flame according to the cultivation method of the Flame Mantra.

It started off smoothly, but as time passed, Hun Yu gradually became engulfed by the Heavenly Flame. His body was covered in a green flame, resembling a humanoid figure made of fire.

Hun Tiandi, who was keeping a close eye on Hun Feng and Hun Yu, naturally sensed Hun Yu's situation.

He arrived in Hun Yu's room and shook his head upon seeing him, who has transformed into a body engulfed in green flames like a fire person.

Hun Tiandi knew.

It was a failure.

Hun Yu had failed.

Hun Tiandi reached out his hand towards Hun Yu, and at that moment, Hun Yu spat out a green lotus from his mouth. This was the origin of the Fallen Heart Flame.

With the lotus expelled, Hun Yu had a brief moment of respite.

The raging flames that had been burning on his body extinguished. His robes were tattered, and his body was covered in burns.

In the room, there was a faint smell of roasted meat. If Hun Tiandi hadn't arrived in time, Hun Yu might have turned into roast meat.

Hun Yu's consciousness was hazy, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. He lay on the ground, weakly looking at Hun Tiandi and uttered, "Fa...ther..."

His voice was feeble, indicating that he was severely injured.

Hun Tiandi glanced at Hun Yu and said, "You should stop cultivating the Flame Mantra in the future. It is not suitable for you."
