Chapter 82: Fifth Stage Of The Qi Refinement Realm
"Time to get stronger," Chen Tian exclaimed.
'Heaven Devour Technique'
He activated the Heaven Devour Technique, just as he had done before.
The word "chaos" within his dantian began to emit a brilliant light, while Chaotic Qi began to materialize in front of the word.
With a single thought, he directed the chaotic Qi from within his dantian into his storage ring.
"Let's start with the corpses of the Body Refinement beasts," Chen Tian thought, realizing that they wouldn't be of any help for his current level of cultivation.
Determined, he decided to start with the absorbing process. Taking control of the chaotic Qi, he skillfully directed it towards the body of a Body Refinement Beast corpse.
Similar to a black hole, the chaotic Qi voraciously absorbed the energy and essence of the beast's lifeless body, reducing it to nothing but dust. Not even a trace of bones remained.
Chen Tian's body surged with an overwhelming sense of spiritual Qi as the Heaven Devour Technique effortlessly absorbed the energy and essence emanating from the corpse of the Body Refinement Beast.
Woshhh~
As Chen Tian continued refining the corpse of the Body Refinement Beast, he sensed the gradual influx of spiritual Qi entering his dantian, the energy center within his body.
This infusion of spiritual energy fueled his cultivation, causing his level to steadily ascend.
However, despite the progress he was making, Chen Tian felt that the current increase in cultivation was insufficient to push him to the next stage of the Qi Refinement Realm.
One beast wasn't enough!
He possessed a total of 70 corpses within the realm of Body Refinement.
As the quantity of Body Refinement Beast corpses decreased, he effortlessly absorbed their energy and essence using the Heaven Devour Technique.
With complete mastery over this technique, he smoothly absorbed their energy and essence.
After assimilating all 69 remaining beasts, Chen Tian's cultivation soared to the pinnacle of Stage 2.
"Damn it! It appears that I can only possibly reach the fifth stage." Despite putting in considerable effort to collect numerous beasts, a total of 70 Body Refinement beasts fell short of propelling him breakthrough to the third stage.
He couldn't help but wonder how many more beasts he would need to reach the fourth or fifth stage. He urgently needed to create a method of acquiring additional beasts or explore alternative ways to increase his cultivation level.
Unable to reach the third stage, he made the decision to start absorbing the Qi Refinement beasts. Once more, he used the Heaven Devouring technique to absorb the Qi of the First Stage Qi Refinement Beasts.
Bang
Finally, he reached the third stage after absorbing two beasts. He was able to break through to the next level.
This time, he did not stop; instead, he made the decision to absorb everything. Starting from the first stage of the Qi Refinement Realm and progressing all the way to the fifth stage of the Qi Refinement Realm, the corpse of the beast began to be assimilated into his dantian.
Mid-Stage 3, Peak Stage 3, Early Stage 4, and Peak Stage 4.
"Come on, just one more level!" He was on the verge of reaching the Fifth Stage, with only a single level left to ascend. Currently, he is left with only three corpses at the Qi Refinement Realm, which include two beasts at the fourth stage and one at the fifth stage.
He could only hope that it was enough for him to reach the next stage.
Chen Tian's dantian experienced a sensation of expansion, as if it were stretching to accommodate the surging energy within him.
With every breath he took, drawing in spiritual Qi, he could sense himself edging closer to a breakthrough.
As he diligently practiced the Heaven Devour Technique, Chen Tian noticed a tangible enhancement in his strength.
Bang
Lucky for him, his Dantian expanded with the last beast corpse he absorbed, and he successfully broke through to the Fifth Stage. He felt power surging through his body.
The advancement from the First stage to the Third stage was markedly different from reaching the Fifth Stage, where the First and Third stages were still regarded as being in the early stages of the realm.
However, the advancement from the fourth stage to the sixth stage was categorized as mid-stage, while the seventh stage to the ninth stage was considered high stage. Finally, achieving the 10th stage represented the pinnacle of the realm.
'I am fortunate to have reached the Fifth Stage; with that, I can enter the red zone of this mystical realm without too much worry.
Even if confronted by a beast at the sixth or seventh stage of the Qi Refinement realm, I am confident in my ability to handle them.' Chen Tian is now filled with confidence as he prepares to enter the red zone, where the weakest beasts were at the fifth stage of Qi Refinement."
'With my strength increased, I can now use Lightning Law at 35% without damaging my body." Chen Tian checked his body, which was now stronger and more resilient than before.
'Did Bingxin breakthrough?" He looked toward Su Bingxin, she still had her eyes closed and was cultivating.
'From her Qi fluctuation, I could tell that she is close to breakthrough. Maybe 2 hours and she will breakthrough.
What should I do for the time being?
Oh, right!
Since now, I can use Lightning Law to 35%, I should try and learn a technique.' He felt he was lacking when it came to the department having technique, so since he had time, he decided to learn a technique that could be of use in the red zone.
'What should I choose?" Chen Tian found himself deep in contemplation, his mind filled with uncertainty as he grappled with a difficult decision. He was recalling the various techniques he had learned in his previous life.
He was a lightning and a sword cultivator before he died, so Chen Tian wasn't lacking in sword and lightning techniques.
He had many options in his mind, and he knew that choosing the right one could make a significant difference in his survival.
'Should I choose this?
Nah, too much energy.
As for this one, I can't make use of it.
Oh, this one will work.'
After thoroughly exploring his mind, Chen Tian stumbled upon the ideal technique that would suit his present predicament and provide assistance within the red zone.
Without dwelling on it, he proceeded to concentrate his energy on relearning the technique with determination.
