"Boom!"
Purple Beast Flame erupted into the sky above the center of Purple Sky City.
A figure rose within the flame, releasing a terrifying aura that attracted the attention of all the powerful figures in the Black-Corner Region.
"This aura and pressure don't seem like the birth of a pill for sixth-rank alchemists. Could it be a pill for second-rank alchemists?"
"Seventh-rank pills undergo a lightning tribulation when they are born. The absence of a lightning tribulation now means that a powerful person has made a major breakthrough."
"Dou Ancestor. Someone has broken into the Dou Ancestor realm. It must be City Lord Xiao Ting."
"I heard today is City Lord Xiao Ting's birthday. Does that mean he's a sixteen-year-old Dou Ancestor expert?!"
"The peak of Dou King can easily kill the peak of Dou Emperor, and the peak of Dou Emperor can crush a six-star Dou Ancestor. So now that he has reached the Dou Ancestor realm…"
"Terrifying!"
"…"
The news that Xiao Ting had advanced to the Dou Ancestor realm caused a huge stir and instantly attracted the attention of countless people. The news spread rapidly throughout the Black-Corner Region and would definitely reach the surrounding areas as well.
The Dou Ancestor realm was a watershed for experts on the Battle Qi Continent and represented the qualification to establish a sect. The power gap between star levels had widened significantly, and when magical beasts reached the Dou Ancestor realm, they attained human-level intelligence.
A force led by a Dou Ancestor-level expert was no longer a third-rate force on the continent, but a second-rate force (first-rate on the northwest continent).
A force led by a Dou Venerable was a first-rate force, and a force led by a half-Saint or Saint-level expert was a top-tier force.
Therefore, Dou Ancestor experts were existences that could not be ignored anywhere and were worthy of being widely known throughout the Battle Qi Continent.
Not to mention, this Dou Ancestor was only sixteen years old and had a high chance of reaching the Dou Venerable level in the future. Furthermore, he was a 6th-rank alchemist.
As the message spread, everyone began preparing gifts and hoping to contact Xiao Ting under the pretext of offering congratulations.
…
At this moment, Xiao Ting had stabilized his cultivation level and thereby broken through to the second-star Dou Ancestor realm.
Due to the cultivation method, the breakthrough in cultivation level did not bring significant improvement to his physique. It only added a layer of Battle Qi crystals throughout his body, making it easier and more powerful to use Battle Qi in the future. Additionally, cultivators gained greater affinity with spatial power, allowing even ordinary cultivators to preliminarily utilize spatial power.
However, since Xiao Ting could already manipulate spatial abilities with his own physique, this was merely an additional ability.
In fact, he could have opened the breakthrough several days earlier. He had simply been waiting for the plane to grant him a Plane Blessing and infuse him with the energy of heaven and earth. That way, he could open the breakthrough in one go and advance a little further in the process.
But now, his consciousness, standing in the void, was completely focused on receiving the [Plane Blessing] today.
Was this "Heaven and Earth follows the law" the same as the "Heaven and Earth follows the law" he had imagined?
[Heaven and Earth Law]: The Heaven and Earth Law is a technique modeled after Pangu's appearance when he created the world. It is a technique that allows one to become as massive as heaven and earth and belongs to the great supernatural powers of the primordial world. After activation, the user transforms into heaven and earth, imitating the scale of heaven and earth, imitating heaven, imitating earth, becoming as tall as heaven and as wide as earth.
The ability to unleash the Heaven and Earth Law depends on the strength of the physique, cultivation level, and soul realm. It is a great supernatural power that is amplified in proportion to the true physique through the unity of essence, energy, and spirit.
After unleashing the Heaven and Earth Law, power, destructive force, and everything else increase exponentially.
"This is exactly what the Heaven and Earth Law represents." Xiao Ting's heart pounded violently.
Without mentioning that this supernatural power was inspired by Pangu creating the world, or that the representative figures who wielded this power were Erlang Shen Yang Jian and Sun Wukong, one thing was certain.
On the Battle Qi Continent, those who reached the Dou God level could activate the Dou God Dharma Body, which stood between the Sovereign Dharma Body and the Sovereign Celestial Body.
One of the characteristics of entering the Sovereign realm at the highest level of the Great Thousand Worlds is the Sovereign Sea, the Sovereign Dharma Body, and the Sovereign spiritual power and spirituality.
Upon reaching the highest level on Earth rank, the Sovereign Dharma Body transforms into the Sovereign Dharma Form, which is also the Sovereign Celestial Dharma Form.
The Dharma Body and Dharma Form are the main means by which Sovereign existences and Earth Sovereign existences control the power of heaven and earth to fight.
However, cultivators can only control their own Dharma Body and Dharma Form, and there is still a layer between them.
Only by breaking through the Heavenly Sovereign realm and condensing the Heavenly Sovereign Spirit Body can one completely integrate with the fundamental principles of heaven and earth and utilize heavenly spiritual power to strengthen oneself. Only upon reaching the Saint realm can one control the great power of a certain domain of heaven and earth.
If the cultivation level is sufficient, one gains the ability to fuse physique and Dharma Body, allowing the physique and Dharma Body to become one.
In other words, in the vast Great Thousand Worlds, only Heavenly Sovereign existences can barely reproduce the basic structure of heaven and earth.
Having mastered this technique, Xiao Ting had achieved perfect harmony between man and law from the very first step.
As a person grew stronger, the Sovereign Dharma Body and Sovereign Dharma Form would also grow stronger and possess all kinds of astonishing abilities.
Invincible in physique, becoming a Saint through the physique!
"Without the Origin Qi, one cannot reach the Dou God realm."
"However, if my physique transforms into a God Physique, my soul reaches the Di State, and my essence, energy, and spirit unite to unleash the Heaven and Earth Law, I will definitely be able to fight evenly against a Dou God Dharma Body."
Xiao Ting felt that he was at least stronger than Zhu Kun, who had revealed his true form and withstood half of Hun Tiandi's attacks.
"Let's try it!"
Xiao Ting's thoughts moved and he activated the Heaven and Earth Law.
Because he had received the Plane Blessing from the Great Dao Journal, he now possessed this supernatural power.
Notably, over the past three months, through continuous alchemy and meditation with Purple Beast Flame, his soul had reached the completion of the half-step Spirit realm, and his soul power was now comparable to a seven-star Dou Ancestor expert.
His physique had reached the limit of the seventh stage through the continuous tempering of Purple Beast Flame. If a member of the Ancient Dragon royal clan at the peak of the seventh stage fought him head-on, they would probably be injured.
"Follow the laws of heaven and earth!"
Xiao Ting activated his supernatural ability and united his essence, energy, and spirit.
His body did not change at all. It wasn't that he couldn't change — Xiao Ting was in complete control.
By following the Heaven and Earth Law, he who had united his essence, energy, and spirit felt that he could freely manipulate the battle techniques he had cultivated so far and display them to the maximum. His Battle Qi had integrated with his physique, soul, will, and battle techniques, becoming a perfect circular physique.
Every movement of his contained extremely powerful, perfectly circular, and unrestrained force, and his ability to manipulate space had also greatly improved.
"Yun Er said she would participate in the sect competition with Yun Shan, but she hasn't returned for a long time. Something might have happened."
"Although I haven't used the communication jade pendant I gave her, since I have some time, I'll go take a look."
Boom!
Xiao Ting threw a straight punch forward.
Space instantly distorted to an extreme degree, and a stable spatial tunnel quickly formed.
"Cai Lin, stay in Purple Sky City. I'm going out for a walk, but I'll be back by tomorrow."
After sending a telepathic message to Cai Lin's soul, Xiao Ting entered the spatial tunnel and disappeared a few breaths later.
Having sensed that Xiao Ting had reached the Dou Ancestor realm, Huo Zhi was preparing to show off her presence.
[Huo Zhi]: What I saw, you absolutely won't believe.
[Zi Yan]: Ancient Heavenly Phoenix revived? A new Dou Emperor born? Xiao Ting confessed his love to you?
[Tang Huo Er]: You're good at talking.
[Feng Qing Er]: I'm too lazy to complain anymore.
[Huo Zhi]: I saw Xiao Ting creating a spatial tunnel.
[Xun Er]: ?
[Yao Ling]: ??
[Han Xue]: Isn't a spatial tunnel something only Dou Venerable-level experts can open?
[Han Yue]: Excellent high-level Dou Ancestors with great talent know how to use basic spatial power, so they should be able to create spatial tunnel, right?
