Fights Break Sphere: Rock King's Leisurely Journey into the Mortal World

Chapter 34: Completely devour and suppress cultivation.

……

The Eternal Thunder Art is accompanied by unspeakable pain in the process of swallowing, refining and fusing strange thunders, and the pain brought by swallowing the first strange thunder is particularly severe.

Practicing the Eternal Thunder Art was like meticulously painting the meridians of a second soul vein across the entire body with extremely delicate brushstrokes. The level of detail was beyond imagination, even the capillaries in tiny parts like fingers and toes seemed sparse in comparison.

Xiao Yan endured this agony for two whole days and nights. It wasn't until dawn on the third day, with the crowing of a rooster, that the imprinting of the Scarlet Flame and Burning Thunder finally entered its final stage.

During these two long days and two nights, Xiao Yan never let out a single howl. All the pain was suppressed by him, and only faintly conveyed through the low groaning sound.

However, this final kick is precisely the most painful moment, as if it is pierced by thousands of arrows, fried in oil, skinned and pulled out, and eaten by thousands of insects. The previous moment it was an itch like a hundred claws scratching the heart, and the next second it immediately turned into a sharp pain like being cut by a sharp blade.

Xiao Yan finally couldn't bear it any longer and let out a cry. However, his voice was unusually hoarse, like the howling of a ghost in the frying pan of hell, filled with terror and despair.

Mixed in this voice was a firm tone that belonged only to Xiao Yan. It was a struggle against the shackles of fate, a counterattack against past humiliations, and the most powerful cry of a fifteen-year-old child to the world.

As the alien thunder officially completed its work of imprinting the second soul vein, the Scarlet Flame Burning Thunder was gradually refined and integrated into Xiao Yan's body under the powerful absorption and swallowing of the Eternal Thunder Art.

At this moment, Xiao Yan finally completed the refining of the Scarlet Flame Thunder.

Immediately afterwards, the Dou Qi energy generated by the complete integration of Scarlet Flame Burning Thunder into the Eternal Thunder Art burst forth. Xiao Yan, who had spent the past two days and two nights suppressing his Dou Qi cultivation to the seventh stage, at this moment, accelerated like he had stepped on the accelerator.

The eighth stage of fighting spirit... the ninth stage... When the level of fighting spirit in the body reached the peak of the ninth stage, there was still no sign of stopping.

In the long journey of cultivation, those practitioners who originally dreamed of becoming fighters would fail in the key link of condensing the fighting cyclone. The reasons behind this can be roughly attributed to two aspects.

First, when a practitioner has just reached the peak of the ninth level of Dou Qi, he or she tends to be impatient and eager to break through.

However, at this time they overlooked a crucial factor - the reserve of fighting spirit.

Dou Qi, as the foundation and source of motivation for cultivation, if you rashly try to break through before it has accumulated to a strong enough level, it is like rushing to top out a high-rise building before the foundation is solid. In the end, it will only lead to failure in promotion due to insufficient Dou Qi.

Secondly, in the complex and subtle process of condensing the Dou Qi cyclone, the dissipation of Dou Qi is almost inevitable.

Practitioners need to carefully control the flow of every strand of Dou Qi, trying to make them converge into a stable cyclone according to specific trajectories and patterns. However, if they are not careful, some Dou Qi will escape uncontrollably and dissipate from the body.

If practitioners cannot accurately control the amount of Dou Qi that escapes when condensing the cyclone, then even if they quietly settle down at the peak of the ninth stage of Dou Qi for several years and spend a lot of time and energy to accumulate Dou Qi, it will ultimately be a waste of time and effort, and all their efforts will be in vain.

This is precisely why precious elixirs like the Qi Gathering Powder are so highly sought after. Its power, at the crucial moment of a cultivator's advancement to a Dou Zhe, acts as a solid barrier, firmly locking in the condensed Dou Qi vortex, reducing any escaped Dou Qi to near zero and significantly increasing the chances of success. At this moment, Xiao Yan possessed an immense reserve of Dou Qi. Coupled with the immense absorption power of the Eternal Thunder Art he cultivated, it resembled a bottomless abyss, endlessly absorbing the Dou Qi transformed from the Crimson Flame Burning Thunder. Nourished by this Dou Qi, it spontaneously and methodically began to coalesce into a Dou Qi vortex, the entire process flowing as smoothly and naturally as clouds and water, without even the slightest spillage.

So judging from the current situation, the effect of the Eternal Thunder Art for Xiao Yan, who has advanced several levels, can be said to be that Xiao Yan condenses several Dou Qi cyclones, and the Eternal Thunder Art then plays the role of several "Qi Gathering Powders".

Xiao Yan frowned, concentrating on feeling the fluctuations of the Dou Qi in his body. However, the next moment, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The reason was simple: the Dou Qi within him had yet to condense into a Dou Qi vortex, and was now raging wildly. If it weren't for the suppression of the Eternal Thunder Art, Xiao Yan would have exploded and died long ago.

Xiao Yan tried hard to calm himself down, and in an instant, the Dou Qi in his body spontaneously gathered into eight Dou Qi cyclones.

But at this moment, Xiao Yan, relying on his exquisite control of the Eternal Thunder Art, suddenly shot out eight lightning beams from his soul veins, instantly shattering the Dou Qi cyclone that was about to form.

"I want to! Control! The fighting spirit in my body!!!"

Xiao Yan struggled but asserted his sovereignty over his body. Immediately afterwards, under the control of his soul power, which far surpassed that of an ordinary person, six Dou Qi cyclones gradually condensed within his body.

However, in a flash, Xiao Yan once again activated the Eternal Thunder Art, shooting out six rays of lightning, completely disintegrating the nascent Dou Qi cyclone.

Every time the Dou Qi Cyclone was reorganized, Xiao Yan would spit out a mouthful of blood due to the backlash of the cyclone's collapse.

Typically, the collapse of a Dou Qi cyclone signifies a failure in a Dou practitioner's advancement. A typical person experiencing this would regress by at least two Dou Qi levels. This is because when a Dou Qi cyclone disintegrates, the Dou Qi condensed within it completely dissipates, forcing the practitioner to start all over again.

However, the situation was completely different for Xiao Yan. His Dou Qi vortex had already disintegrated on its own, but he didn't need to worry about the loss of Dou Qi in his body, because this Dou Qi had been marked by the Scarlet Flame Burning Thunder. Under the powerful attraction of the Eternal Thunder Art, it would not leak out at all.

Therefore, under the premise of keeping the total amount constant, the less Xiao Yan compresses the number of Dou Qi cyclones, the more condensed his realm will be, and the more valuable his Dou Qi level will be.

He condensed the Dou Qi cyclones again, this time there were four Dou Qi cyclones with a deeper color.

"From an eight-star fighter to a four-star fighter, this kid's ambition is really big."

Yao Chen's gaze was filled with admiration, which then turned to respect. After all, after experiencing such inhuman torture, facing the temptation of power so close at hand, he was still able to stick to his heart and maintain his rationality. This was truly rare.
