Chapter 53: Chapter 53, Fifth Layer of the Transcendence Realm (Please Recommend, Please Favorite)
"The Fire Element Body Forging Chapter" is a low tier Profound Level body refining technique, extremely precious. If we really talk about its value, it can be compared to a high tier Profound Level martial technique.
But for Chu Ming, the greatest value of this body refining technique is that when practiced to the Third Layer, the body’s strength would be comparable to a True Dao Martial Artist, allowing one to barely use middle grade spirit stones for cultivation.
The two thousand middle grade spirit stones in Chu Ming’s storage ring can now come into play. By that time, Chu Ming’s strength would see a rapid enhancement period.
Before, when practicing the Tyrant Fist, Chu Ming’s physical strength barely reached thirteen tiger power, meaning he possessed thirteen thousand jins of great power. This was considered decent within the Transcendence Realm, but far from Yang Zong.
Yang Zong reached Great Success in practicing the Demon Bull Primordial Technique. Based on Chu Ming’s own estimation, Yang Zong’s whole body strength was roughly over thirty thousand jins, at least thirty tiger power. One punch could easily severely injure the former Chu Ming.
Chu Ming assumed a stance, methodically practicing the fist technique, still the Tyrant Fist.
The more tyrannical the fist technique, the more thorough the body refinement. The Tyrant Fist was no exception.
Of course, the current Tyrant Fist was different from usual, as it was practiced in conjunction with the First Layer mantra of the Fire Element Body Forging Chapter. One internal, one external, the effect was more evident.
The strength of soul power indeed greatly helps in comprehending martial techniques and cultivation techniques, but it’s much less effective for body refining techniques, sometimes even completely useless. Body refining techniques mainly cultivate the body, not much related to comprehension.
It’s as difficult as it is simple; difficult because it requires breaking through one’s physical limits, quite arduous; simple because the method is simple. Refining the body doesn’t need high aptitude; only perseverance and endurance are required. Also, practicing a powerful body refining technique can make one invincible at the same level.
"Tyrant’s Invincibility!" "Tyrant’s Ruthlessness!" "Tyrant’s Tears!" "Dominate the World!"
Combining each move of the Tyrant Fist, Chu Ming gradually entered the state, forgetting himself and the outside world.
Vaguely, Chu Ming could hear the violent flow of blood within his body, like great rivers, while the heartbeat grew slower but stronger. The sound was like drumming, reverberating through his body, making the blood flow resonate.
Another two hours passed before Chu Ming slowly ended his practice, feeling his strength. He noticed an increase of about a hundred jins of strength. In just two short hours, such progress showed the extraordinary effects of the Fire Element Body Forging Chapter.
After a short rest, Chu Ming felt a bit hungry. He took out some dry food from his storage ring but then put it down again, turning and walking towards the crack’s exit.
Practicing body refining techniques now, he had to keep up with his nutrition. Otherwise, if his body didn’t break through its limits, it would instead be dragged down. The dry food in Chu Ming’s storage ring was okay for normal eating, but now, with his intense practice, it wasn’t wise to continue eating those.
At the center of the Cyan Yang Mountain Range, Chu Ming was not worried about others accidentally entering the crack. Seeing no demon beasts outside the crack, he quietly slipped out, glancing at the scattered rubble on the ground, likely left by the One-Horned Evil Dragon.
Emerging from the crack, Chu Ming entered the dense forest but dared not go far, fearing encountering demon beasts he couldn’t handle. Near the crack, if encountering a powerful demon beast, he could still escape into the crack. Going far meant having no place to hide.
Carefully moving through the dense forest and bushes around him, after three minutes, he encountered a Third Level low tier demon beast, the Cloud-piercing Tiger. Because he didn’t control his strength well, a casual sword strike reduced it to ashes.
Chu Ming wryly smiled, underestimating the destructive power of Fire Element Spiritual Power, not expecting such strong destructive force.
Fortunately, two minutes later, he encountered another demon beast, the Two-headed Demon Wolf. This time, without drawing his sword, he delivered a punch, causing the Two-headed Demon Wolf to bleed from its seven orifices and die. Putting the corpse into his storage ring, Chu Ming walked back towards the crack.
The journey back was uneventful. Returning to the crack, Chu Ming immediately skinned the Two-headed Demon Wolf. Its body over one meter long, even without the skin, was enough for Chu Ming to eat for two meals.
Chu Ming, always carrying fire starters, quickly lit a fire and cut the wolf’s meat into small pieces, grilling them on the fire.
Within a quarter of an hour, the faint aroma reached his nose, making Chu Ming’s mouth water.
Grabbing a piece of meat from the rack, Chu Ming devoured it ravenously, nearly biting his tongue in the process.
He ate almost half of the Two-headed Demon Wolf before feeling full. Without resting, he immediately jumped into the spiritual spring to practice the Fire Burning True Skill. The spiritual power flowed into his body, rapidly increasing his cultivation. Meanwhile, the scorching aura around him intensified, burning his clothes entirely to ashes.
With no one around, Chu Ming felt no embarrassment.
Two hours later, Chu Ming’s dantian swelled, and his aura changed drastically. The absorption speed of the spiritual spring visibly increased,
Transcendence Realm Fourth Layer, achieved!
Just as Chu Ming was about to open his eyes, the Fire Element Spiritual Power within him suddenly surged, causing the Third Layer of Fire Burning True Skill to show signs of loosening.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Pop pop pop!
A series of faint sounds emerged. Chu Ming’s body shuddered, breaking through to the Fourth Layer of Fire Burning True Skill. With both cultivation and technique breakthroughs, the amount of Fire Element Spiritual Power within him doubled.
Opening his eyes, Chu Ming’s gaze seemed to shoot out two lightning snakes, darting through the void, astonishingly!
Looking at the spiritual spring, its spiritual power visibly thinned, showing that Chu Ming’s breakthrough had consumed a large amount of spiritual power.
According to the records in the Fire Burning True Skill, the first four layers correspond to the Transcendence Realm, while the next three layers correspond to the True Dao Realm. However, Chu Ming believed that with his soul power, the Fourth Layer wouldn’t be his limit within the Transcendence Realm.
Thus, Chu Ming spent three continuous days there. After three days, the spiritual power in the spiritual spring was entirely absorbed, turning crystal clear like ordinary spring water. Meanwhile, his cultivation had reached the Fifth Layer of the Transcendence Realm, and the Fire Burning True Skill was at the peak of the Fourth Layer, yet to break through to the Fifth Layer, as mentioned in the secret manual.
As for the body refining technique, he hadn’t neglected it. After three days, he had reached the Second Layer of Fire Element Body Strengthening. For Chu Ming, this cultivation speed felt a bit slow since his original body condition was quite good.
Of course, it was also because there were no body refining elixirs in the crack to assist. With body refining elixirs, the cultivation speed of the Fire Element Body Forging Chapter would undoubtedly increase several folds. Even so, Chu Ming now had thirty-four tiger power, no less than Yang Zong.
During these three days, when hungry, Chu Ming went out to hunt demon beasts for food. Though he encountered some dangers, being near the crack, he could always escape unharmed. Some small-statured demon beasts accidentally entered the crack but were all slain by Chu Ming.
Now, Chu Ming finally understood why there were so many animal carcasses at the crack’s entrance. Likely, some demon beasts unknowingly entered the crack but were killed by the demons, accumulating over the years.
