After being captured by an ancient Great Demon, Ye Xuan fell into utter despair and was thrown in as material to be sacrificially refined into an Elixir.
That kind of suffering, worse than death, let Ye Xuan experience what true pain really was.
People always say.
Only by going through pain can one truly grow.
This experience made Ye Xuan go through genuine agony, and also brought him true growth.
But in his heart, it also nurtured a violent, murderous hostility.
And this would later lay the groundwork for Ye Xuan becoming the eternal Butcher.
Just like that.
Ye Xuan was thrown into the Pill Furnace and refined for forty‑nine days and nights.
The ancient Great Demon was shocked; this guy had been refined for forty‑nine days and still didn't die, so it opened the furnace.
At the instant the furnace opened, Ye Xuan suddenly leaped out, wanting to take advantage of the ancient Great Demon's inattention to cut it down.
The result was, of course, failure.
