The Eternal battle

Faced with what is happening inside the cauldron, the spirit Blades of Chaos could only look with shock at the unbelievable sight.

Inside the cauldron and amid the raging gray flames, Shi Tu maintained a peacfull expression and sarcastic smile on his face as he read the engraved technique inside the cauldron, ignoring the gray flames as it have no affect on him at all, on the contrary, it seems that he is using the Chaos Flames to refine his body and seems to breakthrough into the late stage of Bronze body at any moment!!

" Damn!! What is this monster? refining body and learn the Nine Chaos Slashes Art at the same time? And what is this body? the flames absorbing way to refine his body somewhat similar to the Great flame Mantra while fire immunity similar to the Heaven Defying Evil Art, this is not all, there Points that I don't understand in his technique, damn, when such flames cultivation art created? How do I not know about it? ''

The spirit of Blades of Chaos almost went mad because he couldn't see through Shi Tu and he didn't like the fact that just a kid probably didn't live more than two billion years beyond his understanding.

" Wait, at this rate wouldn't he really become my master? "

The spirit of Blades of Chaos has reached a sudden realization, since the Chaos Flame doesn't affect Shi Tu, this means that he can slowly study the Nine Chaos Slashes and with the talent he has shown, it will not take long before he succeeds.

The spirit of Blades of Chaos felt sad, and given Shi Tu's behavior and the fact that he was disrespected to his future master, Shi Tu inevitably will make things difficult for him in the future.

Shi Tu sat relaxed inside the cauldron covered in gray flames.

Inside the cauldron there is a vast space infinite in all directions and without a bottom, only a small blue rug floating in space is what Shi Tu could sit on, Shi Tu is surrounded by countless layers of golden runes in all directions and once Shi Tu understood each layer it will retreats to allow the runes behind it to advance forward just like an organized army.

At the same time, Shi Tu breakthrough into the late stage of the Bronze Body smoothly thanks to the flames that helped him refine his body.

This time the breakthrough was very easy. After Shi Tu had breakthrough to the Refinement Realm, he is able to breakthrough to the second layer of the Eternal Suffering Art and seal the raging energy in his body in Dantian so he didn't need to be careful while refining his body.

Previously, Duan Hao breakthrough to the Refinement Realm when he was ninety years old, that is unprecedented event, even the worst talent can breakthrough to the Refinement Realm under the age of forty 

After Duan Hao left his isolation and tried to join a sect was surprised by the bad treatment, he have been treated with contempt in every sect tried to join and there was no sect willing to raise a loser that he might not be able to achieve another breakthrough for the rest of his life like Shi Tu.

Shi Tu didn't accept this treatment and felt that this is unfair, he relied on himself completely without any knowledge of cultivation, only some of the basics, and he created his own cultivation technique, how is he talentless? Just because he is weak and didn't have any background he treated like this? Whereas those who have background but not the talent get the best resources and treated with respect even though they have no hope of going beyond the Refinement Realm just because they has background?

Shi Tu wanted to change this reality, he wanted a world in which people would be treated fairly based on their abilities rather than their backgrounds, this is the beginning of Duan Hao's dream, one of his most important motivations towards his tireless cultivation and pursuit of strength, at least in the beginning.

Because no sect accepted Duan Hao's he had to continue cultivating on his own and the only solution was to put his life on line, Duan Hao ventured into the most dangerous places to search of opportunities and in order to cut the way back he created the second layer of the Eternal Suffering Art.

During his trip, he get more knowledge about cultivation and some other things and get the chance to learn a lot about poisons, Duan Hao learn that the most terrifying poisons is not poisons made of poisonous herbs because most of them cause death in the end, but poisons made from energy during the diversion of cultivation, this type of poisons doesn't easily lead to death, but rather causes severe pain that may eventually lead to madness, and this pain will never stop and will last forever because all the energy in the body gradually turns into poison. The only way to suppress it is by using energy, but the energy used in suppressing it will also become poison after some time, so he needs someone help injecting energy into his body or swallow pills and spiritual herbs constantly. Fortunately, this type of poison cannot be produced and is only formed in cases of Cultivation deviation.

But Duan Hao did it, he was able to turn Dantian energy to poison, which means that the only way for him is to become stronger quickly.

Over time and during his other lives, Shi Tu developed the second layer over and over again and it didn't just become a poison in his body to push him to pursue strength, but rather something very terrifying.

It didn't take long before Shi Tu breakthrough to the bronze body peak, usually when breakthrough the color of the skin temporarily change to bronze but Shi Tu's body keep the gray color.

After less than another hour, Shi Tu broke through to the initial stage of the Silver Body, and after three hours he reached the middle stage of the Silver Body, although he could reach the peak of the Silver Body, he stopped refining his body because he had mastered the Nine Chaos Slashes.

First Slash - Chaos Slash

Second Slash - Great Chaos Slash

Third Slash - Chaos Claw

Fourth Slash - breaking Chaos

Fifth Slash - Yin - Yang Chaos

Sixth Slash – Destruction Chaos

Seventh Slash – Chaos Samsara

Eighth Slash - Chaos Mist

Ninth Slash – Chaos Judgment

Shi Tu could not hide his happiness because this is the most powerful art he had seen in his life and although he had mastered it, he could not show its strength with his current cultivation base, even the first Slash could not use.

Shi Tu got out from the Cauldron unscathed and even stronger.

Bob

As soon as Shi Tu came out of the cauldron, the spirit of Blades of Chaos get on his knees and hit his head hard on the ground, saying wholeheartedly.

" Master, this slave apologizes for his previous actions and hopes that master will forgive this slave. "
