Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In a cave.
Ling Xiao sat with his legs crossed.
He held a golden lotus in his left hand and a ball of light, as black as ink, in his right. The objects looked extremely mysterious.
They were the Diversified Golden Lotus Fire and the Black Heavy Water.
Both were very precious Five Elemental Spiritual Seeds, but they were too treasures of fire element and water element respectively.
The first step of cultivating Sky Devouring Secret Technique was to crystallize the Sky Devouring Spiritual Seed, which was evident that the cultivation was harsh.
Ling Xiao planned to crystallize a semi-finished Sky Devouring Spiritual Seed with the Diversified Golden Lotus Fire and the Black Heavy Water.
“A chaotic chicken becomes formless, Heaven and Earth are limitless, and the principal aim is to devour. Once a spirit is touched, it blends with the vault of Heaven…”
He was enlightened by the profound meaning of Sky Devouring Secret Technique.
Not only was Sky Devouring Secret Technique the secret to his ability to overrun the world in his past life, but it was also the technique that he hoped would bring him back to the top in this life.
He strongly believed that his title as the Sky Devouring Supreme would resound through Heaven and Earth whether it was ten thousand years ago or in the present time!
As Ling Xiao worked out the profound meaning of Sky Devouring Secret Technique, his body became a blur, and the void around him became wavy like ripples. He was soon enveloped in a chaotic fog that made him look even more mysterious.
Boom!
The Diversified Golden Lotus Fire and the Black Heavy Water in his hands emitted rays of light simultaneously, and then it blended into his arms as if they had a spiritual nature. At last, they flowed through his meridians before they arrived at his Dantian.
It was at that moment when energies at the extreme ends of hot and cold wreaked havoc in Ling Xiao’s meridians, causing him to suffer sharp pains. His face turned pale as he groaned painfully.
Since water and fire were incompatible elements, even masters in Grandmaster Boundary and Celestial Boundary dared not blend the spiritual powers of extreme oppositions together.
Since Ling Xiao was only in Pulse Unsealing Boundary, it was inevitable that his fragile meridians were instantly torn apart.
The pain of having his meridians torn apart and the feeling of experiencing extreme hot and cold together almost crushed his soul. Nevertheless, he remained a calm expression as he focused on operating the Sky Devouring Secret Technique.
A divine light lit his spirit.
While Ling Xiao’s meridians were torn apart, a milky white light glowed in his body, repairing his damaged meridians.
During this period where his meridians were damaged then restored, the Diversified Golden Lotus Fire and the Black Heavy Water slowly gathered at his Dantian. As such, his body became half gold and half black, it was extremely bizarre.
Seeing that the spiritual seeds had entered his Dantian and that the two radiant balls of light were within reach, Ling Xiao became more serious.
“The success or failure of the Sky Devouring Spiritual Seed depends on this moment!”
Ling Xiao took a deep breath and looked as if he had gone mad. Then, the Diversified Golden Lotus Fire and the Black Heavy Water clashed.
Boom!
It was so bright, it was as if a small Sun had exploded or a luscious shooting star had appeared; the moment was indescribable.
The spiritual seeds clashed in Ling Xiao’s Dantian, and released an endless wave of energy. The violent yet burning energy gushed to all parts of his body.
“All of my meridians, break open!” Ling Xiao roared.
Due to the violent impact from the gush of energy, the meridians in his body broke one after another, but the peculiar energy transformed through the Sky Devouring Secret Technique restored those meridians quickly. As the process repeated, a meridian was connected.
The thirty-seventh meridian!
The thirty-eighth meridian!
…
The fiftieth meridian!
…
The eighty-first meridian!
…
Like a gale that stirred up fallen leaves, Ling Xiao’s meridians were broken by the intense energy. However, the meridians that were eventually interconnected again became much firmer, such that they even exude a shiny crystal-like luster.
The hundred and eighth meridian!
…
The hundred and thirtieth meridian!
…
The hundred and ninety-ninth meridian!
With that, the violent energy had opened nearly two hundred meridians in Ling Xiao’s body before it diminished.
“This isn’t enough, I want all of them opened! Heaven and Earth are limitless, and the principal aim is to devour. Devour!”
Ling Xiao gritted his teeth. Followed by that, a large amount of superior Spiritual Stones flew out from the old painting on his body; it seemed like he was about to be buried by a hill.
Afterward, a vortex of peerless devouring power took shape in his Dantian, and the immeasurable spiritual power from the Spiritual Stones surged to all parts of his body.
Pfft!
A shot of blood came out of Ling Xiao’s mouth. Even though his meridians were all broken and his flesh was heavily damaged, he was determined to pull through this rare opportunity. One required a golden opportunity and determination beyond ordinary people to advance to the Pinnacle stage of Pulse Unsealing Boundary.
Since this was the golden opportunity, it was all up to Ling Xiao’s determination.
Boom!
The thunderous sound of a deadly dragon’s roar could be heard in his body when the meridians were torn apart then repaired.
The two hundred and first meridian! The two hundred and second meridian! The two hundred and eightieth meridian! The three hundredth meridian! The three hundred and thirty-sixth meridian! The three hundred and fifty-ninth meridian!
The three hundred and sixtieth meridian!
When the final meridian broke, the formidable energy that came from tens of thousands of superior Spiritual Stones, as well as the Diversified Golden Lotus Fire and the Black Heavy Water, vanished.
A spiritual seed with a mix of red and black colors spun slowly in Ling Xiao’s Dantian, and the spiritual power around it transformed. Similar to the center of the galaxy, the seed was mysterious and inexplicable.
This was the Sky Devouring Spiritual Seed!
Swish, swish!
A black and a red ray shot out from each of Ling Xiao’s eyes the moment he opened them, causing electricity to be generated in the void. It was extremely strange.
At this moment, Ling Xiao had turned into a bloody man as he was covered in impure blood. Nonetheless, a vast force had filled his body!
The energy from all of his meridians flowed like a big river. Not only did his body become exceptionally tough, but his force had also increased by more than ten times than it used to be!
Furthermore, Ling Xiao sensed that he could easily open up the Sea of Qi in his Dantian by just having that thought. It would allow him to cultivate the innate True Qi, whereby he could advance to True Qi Boundary!
Despite that, he resisted the temptation. After all, the Dark Dam Pill had not been refined. With the intention of perfecting his Sea of Qi, he was definitely not going to advance to the next boundary so quickly.
‘I’m now in tenth tier Pulse Unsealing Boundary? I wonder what level my combat power is at,’ Ling Xiao pondered.
He later left the cave to wash the blood off his body at the river nearby, which revealed his crystal-like skin that was as soft as a baby’s butt.
At that moment, the hundreds of meridians in Ling Xiao’s body were interconnected, and all of his pores were opened. Every breath he took was accompanied by strong spiritual energy from Heaven and Earth.
In a flash, he appeared in front of a gigantic bluestone before he lifted the 11,020 pounds bluestone effortlessly.
“My physical force is now roughly 33,070 pounds, which is ten times more than my previous force. Only a master in Dragon Tiger Boundary possesses such an enormous force!”
Ling Xiao was very satisfied with his physical force. In that sense, he was no longer inferior to a master in Dragon Tiger Boundary.
