Heaven Tier Emerges

Feeling the seamless connection within his body with the New Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame, like a stream flowing into a river, completely unified without any stagnation, accompanied by Dou Qi of immense Dou Qi that had reached the Peak Dou Ancestor.

When the Dou Qi surges through the meridians, it is no longer the slightly stagnant stream it once was, but transforms into a wide and rushing river. Wherever it passes, the meridian walls are repeatedly washed by the Dou Qi, and they become more resilient and expansive in a subtle way.

If it were anyone else, having received such a heaven-defying opportunity, they would not only have fused five Heavenly Flames to forge a brand new flame seed, but also achieved a significant increase in their Dou Qi. This trip to the Star Domain would have been a perfect success, and they would probably have already left the Star Domain contentedly to find a safe place to consolidate their realm.

But this was none other than Lin Ming. Since crossing over to the Dou Qi Continent, every step he had taken had been filled with challenges and breakthroughs, and he had never stopped because of his current achievements. This tenacity and pursuit of progress ingrained in his bones destined him to never stop at "perfection".

At this moment, Lin Ming lowered his eyes and stared at the noble and mysterious Dark Purple Flame in his palm—the brand-new Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame.

The flames seemed to encapsulate the profound depths of the entire starry sky, with dark purple patterns flowing across their surface—the primordial imprints left after the fusion of the five Heavenly Flames. They were not still, but rather pulsated slowly like a living heart, each subtle rise and fall carrying a unique rhythm.

As the flames pulsed, the previously thin and almost imperceptible flame energy around them was instantly stirred up, like stars under invisible gravity, rapidly rotating around the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame, forming a visible energy vortex.

Lin Ming did not linger in the joy brought by this new power for long.

His mind had already been drawn by a deeper, more primal stirring that had quietly awakened from the deepest recesses of his soul.

This tremor did not come from the outside world, but from the <Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art>, which contained the secrets of his transmigration and supported the foundation of his Great Dao.

"Buzzing--"

The sound had no physical form, yet it possessed a tremor that acted directly on the Soul Origin, like an ancient bell tolling deep within it, each tremor carrying an ancient and mysterious rhythm. This tremor was not chaotic; rather, it was like a call, a premonition of a long-accumulated power about to break free from its cocoon.

Lin Ming immediately focused his mind and used all his Soul Power to examine himself. He saw that the rune matrix, which had been dormant in the deepest part of his soul's Consciousness Sea and represented the completion of the fourth level of the <Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art>, was now bursting with unprecedentedly brilliant light.

This matrix is composed of countless mysterious Five Elements Rune. The runes of the five colors—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—move along specific trajectories to form a perfect Five Elements closed loop.

Previously, although it was stable, it always carried a hint of silence. But now, each rune seemed to be infused with life, its light so dazzling that it was almost impossible to look directly at it. The speed at which the runes operated was also several times faster than usual, emitting bursts of rapid buzzing, as if it was yearning to break through some kind of constraint.

At the center of the matrix, the pure energy fed back from the fusion of five Heavenly Flames surged like a bursting dam, frantically assaulting the invisible barrier leading to the next realm. This energy was not violent and disorderly; rather, it carried the rhythm of the Five Elements, each impact precisely striking the weakest point of the barrier.

The cracks that were previously barely visible on the barrier are now spreading and expanding at a visible speed under the continuous impact of this energy.

The origin of the <Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art>, a mysterious Cultivation Method that accompanied his soul through his transmigration, has always been shrouded in mystery.

Lin Ming had perused countless ancient books on the Dou Qi Continent, but had never found any record related to this Cultivation Method. It was neither a legacy of the top powers in the Middle Continent, nor a secret manual unearthed from Ancient Ruins; it seemed to exist independently of the continent's system.

However, its power is undeniable—the cultivation of the first four levels not only gave him strength comparable to Dou Emperor at the Dou Wang realm, but also allowed him to condense the prototype of his Inner World at the Dou Zong stage. This foundation is something that even the core disciples of those ancient sects that have been passed down for thousands of years cannot match.

According to the information contained in the Cultivation Method, the Fifth Floor will be a true qualitative leap!

Once the breakthrough is achieved, the Cultivation Method level will leap from the Earth Tier High-grade to the Heaven Tier Low-grade, a level that would drive the entire Dou Qi Continent mad!

It should be understood that Heaven Tier Cultivation Method are extremely rare on this continent. Even top-tier forces like the Pill Tower only possess a handful of Heaven Tier Cultivation Method, and these are all treasured as their most prized possessions.

More importantly, thanks to the solid foundation he laid in the first four levels of the <Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art>, once he breaks through to the Fifth Floor, he will not be in the weak state of just entering the Heaven Tier, but will directly leap to the peak of the Heaven Tier Low-grade. This starting point is enough to make countless cultivators envious.

"Energy reserves... are sufficient!"

Two dazzling beams of light suddenly shot out from Lin Ming's eyes, like stars piercing the darkness.

He could clearly sense that the energy within his body had reached the critical point for a breakthrough, and the operation of the rune matrix had also reached its peak. This was the best time to break through; any hesitation might cause him to miss the opportunity.

"At this very moment, the Fifth Floor of the Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art is activated!"

A silent roar erupted in his heart, a roar that carried both long-suppressed anticipation and a resolute determination to burn his bridges.

Lin Ming no longer held back, fully guiding the vast energy fed back from the New Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame.

This energy, a blend of the properties of five Heavenly Flames, was now under his control like a battering ram imbued with immense power, crashing headlong into that incredibly solid, invisible bottleneck!

"Boom--!!!"

A deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were splitting apart, exploded deep within Lin Ming's soul!

The loud noise wasn't perceived through the ears, but rather acted directly on his Consciousness Sea, causing his soul to tremble violently.

The bottleneck that had hindered him for so long was instantly cracked like ice and snow under the sun under the impact of this terrifying energy that gathered the essence of five Heavenly Flames. It then shattered and melted away, turning into countless tiny energy points that scattered into his limbs and bones, nourishing his meridians and soul.

The moment the bottleneck shattered, the cultivation method of the Fifth Floor of the <Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art> flooded into Lin Ming's Consciousness Sea like a tide. Countless profound runes and cultivation insights were automatically imprinted deep within his soul. He mastered it completely without having to consciously memorize it.

Just as the <Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art> broke through to the Fifth Floor, officially joining the ranks of the Heaven Tier Rank—

A sudden change has occurred!

This anomaly did not only occur within Lin Ming's body, but transcended the boundaries of the Star Domain, causing a barely perceptible yet real ripple in the entire Dou Qi Continent's Heaven and Earth Rules!

Like a pebble thrown into a lake, the ripples spread rapidly outwards from the Star Domain above Sacred Pill City.

At this moment, the Sacred Pill City outside, and even the more distant world, all felt the abnormal movement of the Heaven and Earth Rules.

Sacred Pill City, as one of the core cities of the Middle Continent, is currently at its most prosperous.

The streets were bustling with pedestrians, the shouts of vendors and the conversations of monks mingling together, creating a vibrant and lively atmosphere. The sky was originally clear and cloudless, and golden sunlight spilled into every corner of the city, warm and bright.

But the moment Lin Ming broke through, the sky suddenly darkened without warning.

This was not the gloom brought about by dark clouds blocking the sun, but an indescribable darkness originating from the depths of the universe, as if the entire sky was shrouded in a thin black veil, completely blocking out the sunlight.

Pedestrians on the street stopped in their tracks, looking up at the sky with expressions of confusion and unease; the cultivators in the city were even more solemn, releasing their Soul Power to investigate, but they could not find any reason for the sky darkening.

Immediately afterwards, under the gaze of countless astonished eyes, dazzling seven-colored rays of light appeared out of thin air in the sky!

These rays of light were not scattered, but rather like huge, colorful ribbons, stretching across the sky one after another, extending from the east to the west of Sacred Pill City, numbering in the dozens.

The colors of the sunset glow were extremely rich, with seven distinct layers of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, yet they blended together, radiating a dazzling light. Even with your eyes closed, you could feel the vast energy emanating from heaven and earth.

Even more astonishingly, within the glow of the sunset, countless mysterious and complex golden runes could be faintly seen flowing, appearing, and disappearing like swimming fish.

These runes vary in size, the smallest being only the size of a fingernail, while the largest is as large as a small mountain. Each rune is covered with intricate patterns, containing profound and incomprehensible Supreme Principle the universe.

The runes weaved through the rosy light, sometimes coalescing into the shapes of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, sometimes transforming into rushing rivers, and sometimes dissipating into specks of light, radiating a grand, ancient, and solemn mystical Daoist charm that inspired awe in everyone who saw them.

At the same time, a strange, sweet fragrance permeated the world without any apparent source.

This fragrance is neither the scent of ordinary flowers nor the Medicinal Fragrance of medicinal pills, but a pure and exquisite fragrance transformed from the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth. When inhaled, it instantly transforms into a cool current that flows down the throat and into the body, nourishing every part of the body.

Whether it was ordinary people on the street or Dou Master and Da Dou Shi in the city, everyone felt refreshed and invigorated after inhaling this fragrance. Their originally tired bodies were instantly filled with vitality. Even many cultivators who were stuck on the edge of breaking through had their fighting Dou Qi become more active, showing faint signs of breaking through.

In the void, faint, ethereal chanting could be heard.

The sound did not come from any specific direction, but seemed to originate from all things in heaven and earth, ethereal and otherworldly, like celestial music.

The chanting has no specific lyrics, yet it carries a power to soothe the soul. Whether it is a martial artist filled with hostility or an ordinary person troubled by worldly affairs, upon hearing this chanting, the restlessness and unease in one's heart instantly dissipate, and the soul becomes clear and tranquil, as if it has been washed by clear water.

"Heaven and Earth Phenomenon! Seven-colored rays of light, Dao patterns manifesting, heavenly fragrance permeating the air, and chanting echoing in the void... This... this is the phenomenon recorded in ancient texts that signifies the birth of a Heaven Tier Cultivation Method or Dou Technique! However, ancient texts only record one Heaven Tier Cultivation Method or Dou Technique appearing at a time; for all of these phenomena to appear at once... what rank must one have reached to witness this?"

Inside the council hall at the top of the Pill Tower, Xuan Kongzi, who had been frowning over the abnormal decline in the energy of the Star Domain, suddenly looked up at the sky. His aged face was covered with lines of shock, and his originally cloudy eyes were now wide open, filled with unprecedented shock and disbelief.

As the Great Elder of the Pill Tower, he had lived for nearly a thousand years and had seen records of the emergence of Heaven Tier objects in ancient books, but the phenomena described in those records were far less spectacular than what he was witnessing!

"Heaven Tier... a Heaven Tier item has actually appeared?! And it's right near my Sacred Pill City?!" Xuan Yi, standing beside Xuan Kongzi, lost her usual gentle composure. Her beautiful eyes widened, her cherry-like lips slightly parted, and she exclaimed in shock.

The teacup she was holding trembled slightly with shock, the tea sloshing inside and nearly spilling.

Tian Lei Zi's expression was extremely solemn. His hands were clenched tightly, and his knuckles turned slightly white from the force.

Sensing the grand rhythm permeating the heavens and earth, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "There's no mistake! Ancient texts clearly record that only when a new Heaven Tier Cultivation Method or Dou Technique is created and recognized by the Heaven and Earth Rules will such a phenomenon be triggered! But... who exactly is it? How could someone possess such great talent to create a Heaven Tier item?!"

His voice carried a hint of barely perceptible doubt. You must know that creating Heaven Tier Cultivation Method is by no means easy. Even those ancient powerful beings who have lived for thousands of years may not have this ability.

The shock of these three was merely a microcosm of the powerful figures throughout the Middle Continent, and even the entire Dou Qi Continent, who had sensed this strange phenomenon.

Blazing Flame Valley, Valley Master Tang Zhen was handling affairs in the main hall. Sensing the unusual activity in the world, he suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with fervent light. "The air is filled with heavenly fragrance, and the flame energy is becoming more active... Could it be the birth of Heaven Tier Fire Attribute Cultivation Method? No, I must go and see!"

Before he finished speaking, he summoned the strong warriors in the valley and sped off towards the Middle Continent.

Countless reclusive old monsters and leaders of various sects sensed something at this moment, stopped what they were doing, and turned their gazes toward Sacred Pill City with suspicion and uncertainty, their hearts churning with turbulent waves.

Creating Heaven Tier Cultivation Method is a legendary feat that is extremely rare in the history of the Dou Qi Continent.

Every person who can achieve this is an exceptionally talented individual, whose name is etched in the annals of Chinese history and revered by future generations.

At this moment, all the powerful figures who sensed the extraordinary phenomenon were speculating: which reclusive master, or which ancient force with a history of ten thousand years, had concocted such a heaven-defying artifact?

No one would connect this Heaven and Earth Phenomenon with that Star Domain where positive energy is waning and danger lurks everywhere; even fewer people would imagine that the one who created the Heaven Tier Cultivation Method was the young cultivator who had entered the Star Domain earlier and was considered by many to be doomed!

Lin Ming!!
