Having combined Blazing Ice Heart and Retribution Flame, Shenzi had created a variant one that has turned white with hints of blue. With smouldering heat but also a cooling breeze like one off the oceanfront. Feeling the spiritual strain put on himself, Shenzi decides this to be either make or break. Caught unprepared and with a valuable treasure, for the first time, Shenzi had just fucked himself.

Without one-hundred percent certainty on the refining process on alchemy plants, Shenzi figures he has about one hour to complete the refining before exhausting himself.

With his extended unshakably firm Clear Surface mental state, also the reverse cultivation on his Spirit Seed from the fourteen blazing stars from his Compressed Worldly Sun. His foundation has reached beyond perfection, at any point, Shenzi could trigger the first level Spirit Contamination Tribulation.

Despite the fading time, Shenzi is calm and collected. Having long made his plan and thinking of tens of different scenarios, Shenzi uses five minutes to test the breaking point, and refining point.

With his combined Sacred Flame, Shenzi can operate it for about seventy-five percent of his total Spirit Force. Cutting his viable time down to forty minutes, Shenzi erases all distracting thoughts. Sealing off all his emotions focusing purely on his task at hand, refining the 1,000-year-old Spirit Cleansing Plant.

Twenty-five minutes pass, in this time frame Shenzi had fully refined 2/3 of the 1,000-year-old Spirit Cleansing Plant. Pushing his flame output up to ninety percent, Shenzi cuts his time down to only five minutes remaining. However, after his previous probing, he came to find out this plant absorbs the Blazing Ice Heart element of the combined flame, while his Retribution Flames consolidate forming its pure essence.

Arriving at the most critical juncture another three minutes pass, with the essence completing its refinement. Spending another forty-five seconds to refine the essence getting rid of all last minute impurities, Shenzi absorbs the essence into his body while cutting off his combined Sacred Flame.

Following the instructions of the Nine Layered Purgatory Pagoda, the essence guided by Shenzi follows along the routes arriving at his Spiritual World. Entering the Spiritual World, the base of his Nine Layered Purgatory Pagoda that has been long created begins expanding.

With 1/3rd of the rich essence consumed, the first layer of the Purgatory Pagoda had completed. Without stop continuing its expansion the original 350-meter first level begins expanding drastically up to three-kilometres. Having come to a halt and reaching the peak of the first layer. Shenzi's first layer Purgatory Pagoda encases Shenzi's soul like an inner bone carapace around essential organs.

Feeling no discomfort around his soul, but instead with steady streams of rich essence from the first layer Purgatory Pagoda entering Shenzi's soul. The amount wholly negligible, but multiple drops eventually create an ocean. With the 30x speed of his Spiritual World, what would be a slow process of five nourishing streams into his soul, has now become 150 every day outside of his Spiritual World.

Reactivating his emotions locked emotions after finishing the refinement and breakthrough of his Purgatory Pagoda, Shenzi finally feels the multiple waves of exhaustion, and pangs of pain in his Spiritual Force. Giving in Shenzi enters a deep sleep for four days.

During the four days that Shenzi had been asleep, multiple experts who have passed the Dew Drop Valley to reach the entrance of Abyssal Prison. Have stumbled upon the cave Shenzi had claimed, within this time 1,250 people passed wanting to enter the cave. However with Shenzi's tyrannical Sword and Sabre Intent, many of the first layer Sword, Sabre Unification realm had stayed resisting under the pressure of Shenzi's combined Intent.

During this time, Ren and Zen had overheard about Shenzi's trip into the Abyssal Prison from the higherups put in charge of Reinhardt City. While Shenzi had not accepted any disciples nor taught any, Ren and Zen have come to accept Shenzi as their master. Having gained their swords, they named them Benevolence and Bestowment. Having their mistakes in Sword Dao fixed by Shenzi, achieving their Insight from Shenzi's short lesson. Both had stepped on the path of their Sword Qi, eventually creating a Spirit Weapon.

Being amongst the 1,250 others who had entered. Feeling their "masters" familiar aura but tens of times more overbearing, both Ren and Zen had spent these last four days continuously killing those who tried to enter the cave. Having been baptized by killing 250 each, Ren and Zen had stepped into the half-step Sword World realm.

Since their last meeting and Shenzi unifying Reinhardt city, it had been five months. With their will affected by their "master." Ren and Zen had decided to abolish their cultivation, starting from scratch going through the three-month training of all Reinhardt cities people, and another two months of being a leader and sub-leader of their Mercenary Squad. Both had encountered miraculous good luck and fortune, achieving the second stage four-star level.

However, on this day from the people they killed previously, an initial third stage expert had arrived and confronted both Ren and Zen. With their natural talent ranking around initial genius, being able to level jump five levels above themselves. Ren and Zen were beaten back by this human expert.

After one reaches the third stage of cultivation, the clones created in the second stage up to a maximum of four for the initial, intermediate, advanced, and peak stage. The clones combine with the physical body all attacks become stacked. Moreover, for supreme geniuses and of the human ranking and, profound royalty demon ranking geniuses. Can gain insight into a Major Dao, for extreme cases the Demon Lord rankings like Shenzi, depending on their attainment can create their Domain earlier than the required fifth stage.

Waking up and stretching his body after his peaceful sleep, Shenzi feels two familiar aura's fading away falling into the hands of death. Taking Worldly Purification and Black Heart out of the ground, Shenzi compresses his combined Sword and Sabre Qi. With every step he takes, the sky darkens, the earth rumbles, and the wind currents blows away all those unable to stand up to the pressure of his Dao Path.

Arriving on the scene like a commander of a million strong army reaching his maximum momentum. Shenzi's voice thunders out like a thunderclap in the ears of all present. "Those who lay a hand on those two brats, and those who are too pussy to stand up for someone, do not deserve to draw breath from this world any longer."

With both Worldly Purification and Black Heart in hand. Shenzi erupts with his Blazing Ice Heart, stabbing both swords into the ground. In the surrounding nine-kilometres, a ring of chilling and burning breeze forms. Congealing all the Sword Qi injected, and the deadly might of Blazing Ice Heart.

The nine-kilometre large ring surges upward with its aura reaching the peak. A massive wave of Sacred Flame and Sword Qi, envelops all those in the surrounding nine-kilometres. Instantaneously turning 747 people into ice sculptures, cracks begin forming as the sculptures rupture. Leaving no hints of blood or ash behind the third stage expert remains alive despite being heavily injured. Ren and Zen remain wrapped up in Shenzi's Nature Qi protected from the after-effects of his attack.

Staring down the third stage expert like a dead man, Shenzi shows no mercy cleaving down his Worldly Purification cutting through the man like butter. The moment this man had died, a fog appears in the sky with two eyes radiating a murderous gleam looking down at Shenzi. The voice erupts out "The moment you enter Abyssal Prison will be the day of your death."

Shrugging his shoulders without giving a fuck, Shenzi combines his Sword Qi and Sabre Qi. Cleaving down with his World Scar in maximum output, cleaving the fog in half. In the Abyssal Prison, this expert is the one who had formed his Domain of Slaughter. Seconds later coughs up a mouthful of blood with minor fissures beginning to develop in his Spiritual World and the essence of his Slaughter Domain losing 1/3 of its previous might.

The man erupts out in a fury like none other before. In the city, he had taken ownership over. He sends out his clones beginning to slaughter thousands of people. While this may seem cruel, all who enter Abyssal Prison are those who had taken lives before or been banished by their clans for notorious acts.
