8: Chapter 8, Ultimate Realm, Tenth Stage: The Nether Sea Storage Ring

Perhaps, because his injuries were severe, damaging his foundation, he would be left with some incurable sequelae.

"Young Leader, that little beast is in the Tianmu Mountain Range, and I have had Big Guy keeping an eye on him."

The skinny middle-aged man, with his shifty eyes, gave people the impression of having a lecherous aura at first glance.

"Good, send the people from the Third Team over, catch that brat for me, and I will make him wish he were dead!"

Young Leader Tiangang said coldly, flipping his hand to take a bag of gold coins from his storage ring and tossing it to the skinny man.

"Young Leader, should we inform the Leader about this matter?" the middle-aged man in black pondered.

"Do not disturb the old man, he is concentrating on breaking through to Great Dou Master, I can handle this small matter!"

Young Leader Tiangang said defiantly, wanting to do something big to show his father, so he wouldn't say he only knew how to cause trouble.

The Sky Wolf Mercenary Group's Third Team, nearly twenty mercenaries, set out. They had walked through dangerous mountain forests all year round, slaughtering magical beasts.

They lived lives of licking blood from the edge of a blade; for mercenaries, there was no right or wrong, as long as the commission was paid, everything could be negotiated.

In the cave.

Moonstones were embedded in the dim stone walls, emitting a faint, soft light that dispelled the darkness. The milky-white light shone upon the youth in green robes who sat cross-legged on the ground, healing with his eyes closed.

The youth in green robes breathed steadily. With each inhalation and exhalation, he practiced rhythmic breathing, causing ripples in the surrounding air.

Immediately, wisps of heaven and earth energy swirled around his body, following his breathing and merging into his physique.

The heaven and earth energy roared, as if ten thousand origins returning to one, pouring into Hun Tiandi's body!

The latter was like a parched desert, crazily absorbing, as if he were a bottomless abyss.

No matter how monstrous the energy storm was, it could not fill him up.

The quiet cultivation and healing continued for an unknown amount of time, and the youth's delicate and handsome face, which had been pale as snow, gradually regained its color.

The air around his body vibrated.

The Dou Zhi Qi within his body traveled through his meridians, spreading into his limbs and bones, nourishing his flesh. The Dou Zhi Qi in his meridians roared like a dragon, nearly full.

After an unknown amount of time passed, the Dou Zhi Qi in his meridians was full, unable to absorb even a shred of energy.

Hun Tiandi slowly opened his eyes. Deep within his pitch-black, bright pupils, a flash of light flickered, then vanished immediately.

Haa!

The stale air suppressed in his heart was exhaled through his throat, and his fair face emitted a faint glow.

"My injuries have healed; this seclusion was not short."

Clenching his fist to feel the full Dou Zhi Qi within his body, Hun Tiandi smiled slightly, then restrained his smile and fell into deep thought.

He felt he was about to break through, but always felt it was just a little short.

"The Extreme Stage? Is it truly impossible to break?" Hun Tiandi muttered to himself.

Breaking out of the cave, a youth in green robes walked out. What met his eyes was a violent waterfall cascading down, the water roaring like a mountain torrent.

Below was a valley, the water flow violent, as if falling from the nine heavens. Just looking at it was enough to make one's heart tremble; the power of nature was incomparable.

Boom!

Hun Tiandi flickered, arriving before the waterfall, intending to use the power of nature to temper himself and break the shackles of the Ninth Stage of Dou Zhi Qi to ascend to the Tenth Stage Extreme.

Standing on a blue rock, he gathered his Dou Zhi Qi on his feet, like a sea-calming needle, accepting the impact of the waterfall.

The silver-white waves submerged him, but Hun Tiandi was not discouraged, falling into the pool along with the water flow.

This was only the beginning of his training. He took off his blood-stained green robes, revealing a lean, sturdy body with perfect curves, covered in blue and purple bruises.

"I will succeed. The Extreme Stage of Dou Zhi Qi must be broken. If I cannot even endure this little bit of suffering, how can I attain the path to the Supreme Dou Di..."

"My father's revenge, the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group all deserve to die..."

Hun Tiandi gritted his teeth, his gaze firm and unyielding. His feet were firmly planted on the blue rock, circulating his Dou Zhi Qi to accept the tempering of the waterfall.

If it were in the Fighting Qi Continent, within top-tier factions, youths with exceptional talent from the clan would bathe in medicinal liquids from a young age to temper their tendons, bones, and flesh.

Specialized Alchemists would regulate their bodies; otherwise, they would be left with hidden dangers, causing great trouble in the future.

It was a pity that in this life, Hun Tiandi was not born into a powerful faction with deep foundations. All he could gamble with was his life; he was not only ruthless to his enemies but even more ruthless to himself.

As long as it didn't kill him, he would train himself to death.

The sun rose and the moon set.

Hun Tiandi's body bloomed with a faint glow, emitting immortal mist. Tempering himself under the waterfall, he felt no pressure at all, having completely adapted to the surging waterfall.

Grinding his body, his form automatically emitted a layer of crystalline light, like a little heavenly god.

Boom!

Deep within his brow, the heart of samsara dripped strands of energy, spreading from his sea of consciousness to his limbs, five viscera, six bowels, and his entire body's meridians.

Hun Tiandi felt a sudden flash of inspiration. The Dou Zhi Qi inside his body began to circulate on its own, beyond his control.

"What is happening?" he thought in fear.

The Dou Zhi Qi merged with the energy currents, circulating crazily. The energy between heaven and earth seemed to be pulled, gathering around his body and being swallowed by his physique.

Crack!

After an unknown amount of time, Hun Tiandi's body trembled. A warm current spread into his limbs and bones, and a terrifying aura permeated from his body, as if something inside had shattered.

The milky-white Dou Zhi Qi circulated crazily. Upon reaching the critical point, a wisp of pure white Dou Zhi Qi was derived, refined and vigorous.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, it all transformed into pure white Dou Zhi Qi.

His small body bloomed with pure white light, emitting a terrifying aura, like a young celestial spirit, standing on the blue rock, his whole body exuding a mysterious innate aura.

"Tenth Stage of Dou Zhi Qi, physical extreme."

Hun Tiandi said excitedly: "I have done it."

A twelve-year-old youth, his physical body breaking through the Fighting Qi Continent's history, where the Tenth Stage had never appeared. Even the King of Ten Thousand Fires, Xiao Yan, had built his foundation at the Ninth Stage of Dou Zhi Qi before breaking through to the Dou Practitioner realm.

He flickered, landing by the pool, gently clenching his fist and punching straight out, the air whistling and rippling.

At this moment, if he were to fight the Young man in white, one punch would blow him up.

He washed his blood-stained green robes, put them on, and turned to leave the pool.

A quarter of an hour later, a man and a woman appeared by the pool. If Hun Tiandi had seen them, he would definitely have recognized them as people from the Starfall Pavilion he had met before.

"Why is there no one here?" the Blue-robed Youth asked in confusion.

"Senior Brother, what is wrong?" the Pink-robed Girl asked, puzzled. Previously, the Blue-robed Youth had sensed a terrifying aura and rushed over.

The two arrived at the deep pool but did not find anyone.

"Let's go!" the Blue-robed Youth looked around and said.

In the cave.

Hun Tiandi returned to the cave and flipped his hand to take out the deep blue storage ring, which flickered with a faint blue light; it was clearly a high-grade storage ring.

"As expected of someone from the Starfall Pavilion, to actually be wearing a high-grade storage ring."

Hun Tiandi curled his lip and smiled, accepting it without hesitation. storage rings had their grades; high-grade storage rings were priceless and hard to find. Even he only had a low-grade storage ring inherited from Father Yun.

He played with the deep blue storage ring for a moment, then his soul power surged out from his sea of consciousness and invaded the storage ring, only to be bounced back.

"As expected of a high-grade storage ring, it even has defensive functions!"

A cold sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. A mere inanimate object—even if it were Xiao Yan's storage ring, he was determined to have it.

With the Young man in white dead, a more ferocious soul power surged out, rampaging and forcefully erasing the soul imprint left by the youth.

Branding it with his own mark, this high-grade storage ring thus changed owners and belonged to Hun Tiandi.

Satisfied, he put it on his finger. With a thought, his soul power entered the storage ring without any obstruction...

Hahaha!

In a moment, Hun Tiandi withdrew his soul power and laughed arrogantly, unable to hide the surprise in his eyes.

As expected of someone from the Starfall Pavilion, the looted treasures were countless: rare medicinal herbs, a large number of medicinal pills enough for him to eat for three years, and various Cultivation Methods and Dou Technique scrolls piled together.

Clearly, these resources were all given by the Starfall Pavilion.

Previously, the Young man in white had said that his mother was the Pavilion Master of the Starfall Pavilion, named Pavilion Master You Quan, his grandmaster was Xiao Yan, and his great-grandmaster was Saint Yao.

No wonder the youth had such deep financial resources; it turned out he had a mountain to lean on.

Pavilion Master You Quan was Xiao Yan's disciple, so the abundance of medicinal pills was naturally a matter of course.

"My god..." Hun Tiandi exclaimed. Had he not killed the crown prince of the Starfall Pavilion and caused a great disaster?

"Hmph, killed is killed!" He snorted coldly, restraining his distracting thoughts. The collection in this deep blue storage ring was too rich.

This time, killing the Young man in white could be considered a bountiful harvest. If it happened again, even if he knew the person was from the Starfall Pavilion, he would still kill them without hesitation.

The treasures in this storage ring, if spread out, would stir up waves in the Central Plains.
