Chapter 80: Using The Heaven devouring technique
The lifeless corpse of the beast lay on the ground as Chen Tian retrieved his sword and carefully stored it back into his storage ring.
With the battle concluded, he surveyed the scene, observing the stillness of the fallen beast's body.
Satisfied with his victory, he took a moment to catch his breath and reflect on the fight.
"This body is even stronger than I anticipated. Despite only cultivating up to the First Stage of the Qi Refinement Realm, I am able to keep up with Third Stage cultivators solely relying on my physical strength." Chen Tian, though, reflected on the fight.
"You've really done it!" Su Bingxin approached him with a surprised expression, impressed by what he had done.
"Hehe, of course, as I mentioned earlier, I have never engaged in a fight that I couldn't win," Chen Tian said, smiling at her expression.
'Well, the only exception was when I was betrayed and these bastards attacked me in my previous life,' he added, reminiscing about his experiences.
Chen Tian seethed with anger, the memory of those treacherous individuals who had dared to betray him fresh in his mind.
However, at that moment, all he could do was focus on one thing: becoming stronger and seeking revenge at a later time.
The only path available to him was to tirelessly train and enhance his abilities, so that when the opportunity for retribution presented itself, he would be ready to seize it.
'I hope these bastards stay alive; I will be having fun destroying them one by one,' Chen Tian thought, his eyes ablaze with a vengeful fire.
"Do you want to continue venturing deeper inside the orange zone?" Su Bingxin asked, interrupting Chen Tian's thoughts. He turned to her with a smile and replied,
"Of course, I'm not afraid of anything. Let's continue our exploration, but before that, I need to do something."
Chen Tian gazed at the lifeless body of the beast before him. The time had come for him to use the Heaven Devouring Chaos Technique.
However, just as he was about to initiate the technique, his body abruptly halted, and he felt a wave of realization wash over him—he was being watched.
'Fuck'
'I completely forgot about this,' Chen Tian admitted. Previously, he and Su Bingxin had a discussion regarding the sects monitoring the participants within the mystic realm.
He reassured her that the likelihood of someone observing us was relatively low and that only Xu Zhiyuan, the old man, would be keeping an eye on their progress.
Chen Tian was aware that the old man would keep everything that occurred to himself.
However, he hesitated to use the Heaven Devouring Chaos Technique, as there was a chance that someone might be observing him.
Chen Tian didn't want to take any unnecessary risks.
'What should I do?
Think....' Chen Tian was thinking carefully before making any decisions.
It's important to weigh the potential risks and benefits before taking any action.
"Is something wrong?" Su Bingxin asked, noticing Chen Tian's distant gaze fixed upon the beast's corpse.
Chen Tian took a moment to collect his thoughts. He then replied, "No, nothing's wrong. I was thinking about what to do with the beast's corpse."
"Why don't you store it in your storage ring?"
"Storing it..."
A sudden idea spontaneously arose in his mind. "Yes, why didn't I think about it?"
Let's attempt to approach it in that manner. Unexpectedly, he thought of trying something.
"Bingxin, you're a genius."
???
Su Bingxin didn't know what to say, but she smiled and nodded, happy to have been able to help in some way.
Chen Tian swiftly stored the beast's body inside his ring and said, "Let's move on. We can venture deeper into the orange zone."
Su Bingxin nodded in agreement, and together, we proceeded further into the forest.
Now, what Chen Tian was considering seemed quite straightforward. When Su Bingxin mentioned that he could store the beast inside his ring, a thought crossed his mind.
'Couldn't I use the Heaven Devouring Technique within the confines of my ring?' He pondered.
The likelihood of being able to utilize the Heaven Devouring Technique within his ring is quite high, considering that this skill is anything but ordinary.
'Let's see...'
As Chen Tian and Su Bingxin continued to walk deeper into the forest, Chen Tian activated the Heaven Devouring Technique.
The moment he activated the technique, a stirring sensation emanated from Chen Tian's dantian.
He stopped the technique and held his breath, feeling something react inside his dantian the moment he activated the technique.
'Let's check it again, but this time I will use spirit sense.'
Without allowing Su Bingxin to sense anything, Chen Tian discreetly utilized his spiritual sense. With utmost caution.
This time, Chen Tian activated the technique once more, but with a slight adjustment. He used his spirit sense to carefully inspect his dantian the moment the technique was activated.
The Altar, adorned with the word "chaos" inscribed on its surface, began to emit a dazzling glow.
The air surrounding the altar crackled with a familiar energy that Chen Tian knew pretty well, and a formidable surge of spiritual force permeated the sacred space.
Then, Chen Tian suddenly felt an inexplicable sensation of being twisted from all sides.
Raw energy began to gather in front of the word 'Chaos' swirling with an untamed force that seemed to embody chaos itself. The intense energy pulsated and radiated an aura of unpredictability and power.
Chen Tian knew exactly what to do. He skillfully controlled the energy, ensuring that it remained contained within his body, and then guided it towards entering the storage ring.
As the energy surged into the storage ring and made contact with the beast's corpse, an astonishing phenomenon unfolded before Chen Tian. The energy seemed to consume the beast's corpse, causing it to vanish completely. However, that was not the end of the spectacle.
Simultaneously, a powerful stream of qi flowed out from the remnants of the beast and directly entered Chen Tian's Dantian—the energy center located in his lower abdomen. This infusion of qi was beyond anything he had ever experienced before.
The qi coursed through Chen Tian's Dantian, expanding it further with each passing moment.
He could feel his entire being resonating with this newfound energy. It was as if the essence of the beast had merged with his own, granting a slight boost to his cultivation.
Bang
He directly broke through to the second stage of the Qi Refinement Realm.
Chen Tian's face displayed a look of shock as he realized that he had directly broken through to the second stage of the Qi Refinement Realm. The sudden achievement left him astounded and amazed.
"Heaven!"
"Is something wrong?" Su Bingxin asked as she heard Chen Tian's gasp of surprise.
"N-No, nothing. I was just too excited," Chen Tian stammered, still in disbelief at his sudden breakthrough.
When he cultivated with Emilia, he had already reached the peak of the first level, and with the help of a Qi Refinement Realm beast's energy boost, his cultivation had now advanced to the second stage.
Chen Tian couldn't contain his astonishment at the significant progress he had made.
'Now I understand why this technique is so broken,
Wait!
If I could hunt as many beasts as I wanted, couldn't I reach the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm in this mystic realm?' Chen Tian smiled in his heart.
There was no way he could miss this golden chance to advance his cultivation even further.
He immediately utilized his spiritual sense to its full capacity and began scanning his surroundings. As both he and Su Bingxin ventured into the forest.
"Bingxin..."
"Yes?" Su Bingxin looked back at him with a curious expression.
"Let's head in that direction." Chen Tian pointed toward a certain direction.
"Why..." She was going to ask why he suddenly wanted to change directions, but she didn't have the time before he got near her, and before she could react, he put his hand on her waist and swiftly lifted her up into a princess carry.
"Wh-What! Put me down." Her face was red, and her heart raced as the world around her blurred with their speed. The wind whipped through her hair.
She wrapped her arms around his neck for support as he effortlessly lifted her in a princess carry.
The moment Su Bingxin was in his arms, Chen Tian ran with great speed toward the direction where he sensed a beast.
Su Bingxin's protests fell on deaf ears as Chen Tian carried her away, leaving her feeling both embarrassed and curious.
"Wait, why are we running like this?"
His grin widened, and his eyes sparkled mischievously. "Hehe, I have found something interesting," he exclaimed, his voice brimming with excitement.
As they continued their mad dash, she couldn't help but be taken aback by his astonishing speed, which surpassed that of a typical cultivator in the Body Refinement Realm.
She knew that Chen Tian was strong, but she had never fathomed his ability to move with such incredible swiftness.
Her heart raced, a blend of fear and exhilaration coursing through her veins.
