This is tempering.
The incredibly terrifying bell toll was tempering Xiao Tianyu.
Dong!
Xiao Tianyu stood up, took one step forward, and once again walked towards the Ancient Bell. This moment, around him, the soul power flowed with dazzling brilliance.
Dong!
Another loud sound, the bell toll was deafening, and the sound waves from the Ancient Bell swept towards Xiao Tianyu.
"Perish!" Xiao Tianyu let out a cold snort, struck forward with his palm, yet the next second, he found the power of the Ancient Bell to be immensely thick, absorbing his strength directly, and his body was flung three feet away by the bell's force.
The Ancient Bell slays souls but can also temper them.
If one cannot withstand the power of the Ancient Bell and perishes, it is soul slaying.
On the contrary, if one survives the repeated strikes from the Ancient Bell, it is soul tempering.
