The refining process was hard and unbearable for a child like Xiu'er. In fact, even adults would wail and scream like the progenitor did a while ago.

The process felt like someone was skinning you alive and your organs were ripping apart. The feeling was excruciatingly painful that you might just wish to die. In this stage, the relief of death was better.

However, Xiu'er had no plan on giving up. He was determined to prevail in the end. After all, only him could do this. Besides, he was doing this for the sole purpose of his mother. He wanted to save her, as soon as possible. He wanted to see his mother alive.

"Ahhhh!!!" Xiu'er kept on screaming and screaming. His screams were quite miserable, but you could hear and feel the hardness of his voice.

"That's right. Keep on it." Jin Rou nodded. He was amazed by this little guy's tenacity. Though he didn't know the exact feeling of the child, he knew that it would be unbearable for such a human who had not yet started cultivating.

Hours passed by. The refining process was finally taking its last step. Xiu'er also stopped screaming, probably because he was already numb to it. Furthermore, one could obviously see the major changes happening in the child's body.

Xiu'er a while ago was very thin, as there was no muscle. But now, his body was toned and well-built. The masculinity appeared a little to fit the child's appearance. One more thing to notice, was that the power he was emitting.

It was a power of someone who took the imperial path.

The improvements were there and obvious.

Soon, the hellish refining process finally ended and Xiu'er sat down in lotus position.

"That's right." Jin Rou approved of what Xiu'er was doing, "Since you have just did a multiple breakthroughs, you need to stabilize your qi inside. Or else it will explode and you will die."

Xiu'er didn't say anything and focused on stabilizing himself.

After three more hours, Xiu'er opened his eyes and looked at Jin Rou. His eyes were telling him everything, "I did it..."

"Yes, you did it." Jin Rou smiled, "You are very brave back then. Quite an admirable courage."

"…" Xiu'er didn't say anything as he just looked down. It seemed that he was a bit shy because he had doubted Jin Rou many times.

In fact, even during the refining process, he thought that Jin Rou might just playing some tricks to him. He was ashamed that he thought this way.

The child thought that his mindset was already matured. However, it seemed like it was just a thought in a bubble.

"Congratulations on becoming a Fate Emperor." Seeing the ashamed child, Jin Rou decided to open another conversation, "You are very talented. A talent that couldn't be seen even after a hundred million of years."

This wasn't an empty praise. Jin Rou meant this. Just imagine, a child, who's not even yet cultivating, jumped from Elementary Realm to become a Fate Emperor!

Who among the people of this place was capable of achieving this kind of feat? Perhaps, even those legendary figures might not be as talented as Xiu'er. So one could already imagine how enormous his talent and potential was. Once people heard a word about this, they would surely try to reel him in. After all, if he was trained properly, he would be the one to create a bright future prospects for the powerhouse.

What kind of power boost was that? Was it even possible? Of course, it was. If it's Jin Rou we're talking about, then it's possible.

But remember, this only became possible because of Jin Rou and Xiu'er's heaven-defying talent. If it's another one with a bit less talented, Jin Rou could still pull the trick off, but it might not be as powerful as the result. In some cases, perhaps the person might just die while refining process because of the painful experience.

"Thank you." Xiu'er gave his most sincere gratitude to Jin Rou. He was really very grateful that he had met the other party. Perhaps if he didn't, he would just sulk in the streets while begging for food.

For the child, meeting Jin Rou was the payment of all the good deeds of his ancestors in the past.

"You're very welcome."Jin Rou smiled, "I just helped you with the process, all the credits will go to you. After all, if not for your perseverance, this won't happen."

This was true. Jin Rou acted as a support to the child while guarding his state. While it was true that this was possible because of Jin Rou, the fact remained that if not for the little child's tenacity, everything would fall in vain.

"…" Xiu'er didn't say anything again.

"Okay, how about we go out of this place with a disgusting smell?" Jin Rou laughed, "The strong smell of blood still reeks all over the place."

This wasn't the progenitor's blood. It was the blood of all his past victims. Those he tortured, raped, and some more atrocious and inhumane acts. The progenitor was almost at the peak of devilness. And it was only a right thing for Jin Rou to eradicate him.

Well, at least he could help Xiu'er in a big way. Though, he was very reluctant even in death.

"Right. I don't want to stay in this kind of place too." Xiu'er wasn't yet used to the smell of blood, especially this kind of strong smell. He wanted to get out immediately so he took the lead towards the door.

Jin Rou followed suit after.

And just when Xiu'er was about to open the door, suddenly...

"Rumble!" The entire place shook violently. It almost made Xiu'er fall to the ground. Fortunately, Jin Rou was there to support his balance.

"What's happening?" Xiu'er was stupefied. They were about to go out then this happened? He couldn't help but feel an ominous one about this.

Jin Rou didn't say anything as he activated his God's Eyes to see everything. And upon seeing, he couldn't help but laugh.
