The Eighth Refining of the Fivefold Heaven

  Five days ago, when Tang Yan jumped into the Bone Pool, he was slapped on the back by Xue Lin beast and fell into the pool. He didn't die, just fainted for a moment, or rather, he was scalded awake as soon as he fell into the Bone Pool. The water in the Bone Pool comes from the underground magma at a depth of tens of thousands of feet, which is usually red, but due to the accumulation of rain acid and monster bones in the forest over the years, it slowly turns into a white milky liquid.

  The Bone Pool here is even more difficult to get, the bottom is not very deep, about two meters, and there are two fist-sized holes at the bottom that rush straight to the ground, with waves of thousand-degree heat constantly surging up from the ground. Generally, people and magical beasts fall in and will be cooked, and after a long time, their bodies will be cooked rotten, leaving only bones, hence the name Bone Pool.

  Tang Yan jumped into the Bone-Melting Pool, and the precious thing about this pool was that it had swallowed countless demonic heads' lives. The white ** also contained an unknown amount of demon beast blood essence. Originally, Tang Yan would have been burned to death after jumping in, but earlier he had eaten a nameless elixir, causing his entire body to suddenly feel like it had fallen into the South Pole, with his body being sealed in three feet of ice. Like a huge iceberg in boiling water, he was constantly bubbling up from within.

  "Damn it, aren't you trying to kill me?" Tang Yan, who was frozen in the ice three feet thick, was extremely clear-headed and felt an intense chill in his body. Suddenly, he was engulfed in a fiery heat and cursed loudly.

  "Kid, don't think so much, I won't harm you, hurry up and transport your Dragon's Seal!" The voice of the old ghost in the dragon ring said.

  "For Little Shifu's sake, I'll endure it! Damn it!" Tang Yan said, starting to chant the Devouring Dragon Technique.

  As soon as the Dragon-Devouring Technique was activated, the mist in the Bone-Melting Pool turned into gas and drilled into Tang Yan's body. He felt these gases constantly transforming every part of his body, starting with his skeleton, then his internal organs, and finally his muscles...

  After an unknown number of days, Tang Yan felt his skeleton strengthened, his internal organs moistened, and his muscles were even more so. In these two years, Tang Yan had been practicing martial arts for 24 hours a day, and had already become a big blockhead, with well-developed limbs, almost reaching the level of a muscle expert. Now, after being washed by these gases, piece by piece, his muscles became compressed, turning into balanced and perfect muscles. Unfortunately, Tang Yan's appearance hadn't changed much, still looking like before, not handsome, not ugly, just ordinary.

  "Little one, you've risen to the 9th star in just three days. Not bad, it's time for you to make a contribution to old man!" The voice of that old devil echoed in Tang Yan's mind.

  "What do you want to do? Damn it, my aura has been sucked again! I'll destroy your whole family!" Tang Yan was about to enter the Dou Shi level, but suddenly half of the aura in his dantian disappeared, dropping from a 9-star Dou Zhe to a 6-star Dou Zhe, which means he had wasted three days of cultivation.

  "What's the hurry? There's plenty of time, come on, take another nuclear pill and refine it well for me. If you want to become a master, you must learn to bear humiliation and hardship." As he spoke, his hand, which was wearing a dragon ring, had an additional pill in it.

  "Damn it, I'll endure for now. When I become the Fighting Emperor, you'll be the first one I'll take down!" Tang Yan cursed as he stuffed the medicinal pill into his mouth.

  "Not bad, quite spirited! I've been waiting for you!"

  Time flies like flowing water, unintentionally slipping through the fingers, and in the blink of an eye, three days have passed. In these short three days, Tang Yan has risen from a six-star warrior to a nine-star peak warrior, and is about to break through to become a martial master. This time, the old ghost did not absorb the fighting energy from Tang Yan's body again. The air around him continuously seeped into his body, being refined by the Devouring Dragon Heart Method into fighting energy that gathered in his dantian, constantly condensing.

  Until the fourth day at dawn, the dragon's heart dan田 had been compressed to the point where it could no longer be compressed. A powerful surge of energy like an atomic bomb explosion burst forth, wave after wave of energy blowing towards the five organs and six cavities, only to return in an instant, like a tidal wave, back to the dan田. This made the dan田 shine brightly like stars, with golden light flashing everywhere. This is the difference between a warrior and a master! In just four days, he had risen by four levels, something that even a genius on this continent could not achieve.

  Next, Tang Yan didn't rush to advance. What he needed to do now was to solidify the Dou Qi Dan Tian, continuously absorbing the surrounding air and refining it into Dou Qi that condensed in the Dan Tian. Until the old man's words in the Dragon Ring sounded again, Tang Yan stuffed another pill into his mouth and continued to soak in this more than two-meter-deep Bone Tempering Pool.

  Time passed for five more days, during which Tang Yan did not break through the fifth stage, but only broke through the second stage. Now he is a two-star Dou Shi level. It's not that Tang Yan didn't want to break through, it's just that he felt the strange gases in the Bone Pool had decreased, and the milky white liquid in the pool had turned into clear water. The only thing that remained unchanged was its temperature.

  "Old man, are we leaving?" Tang Yan had already felt that there was nothing much to be done here.

  "Yes, he's gone!" said the old man.

  "What about that fifth-stage Snowscale Beast outside? If I go out like this, I'll definitely be killed by it!" Tang Yan was now a two-star Dou Shi and could barely defeat a third-stage demonic beast. As for the fifth stage, there was only the possibility of being killed.

  "What's there to be afraid of? It's not like I'm asking you to fight it!" The old man said to Tang Yan.

  "You mean I should run away?" Tang Yan thought of the word "run away" as soon as he heard his words.

  "You still call yourself a genius, but I think you're just a fool. With your current strength, do you really think you can fight against a fifth-tier demon beast? As long as you don't pick its Bone Grass, it won't chase you far. You decide what to do!" The old man only gave Tang Yan a hint.

  "I knew you were unreliable! Damn it, I've been fighting so hard and you didn't even lend a hand!" Tang Yan cursed.

  Now, Tang Yan has nothing on him, his clothes have been dissolved, the ghost head knife on his body has also been dissolved, it can be said that he is now naked in the bone dissolving pool. As the elixir on his body begins to slowly lose its effect, the cold air becomes less and less, the fire poison has begun to invade his body, his skin starts to turn red...

  "Damn it, I'm done!" Tang Yan didn't want to eat any more Xuan Han Dan and stay in this place, while that old ghost also didn't want to waste another one.

  It's okay, the Snow Scale Beast is thirty meters away from Huajigu, sleeping on the ground. When it hears the sound of water in Huajigu, it immediately opens its eyes. Seeing a big man jumping out from inside, it pounces on him at once. At the same time, Tang Yan makes use of his strength to pull his legs and run away as soon as he jumps out of the water.

  A two-star Dou Shi was indeed not to be underestimated, running like a gust of wind on the grass, with waves of sound echoing in Tang Yan's ears. He didn't dare look back and ran straight ahead, because apart from hearing the rustling of the wind, he also heard the roar of beasts behind him, knowing that if he stopped, he would be killed by the single-headed fifth-stage Xue Lin beast.

  "Whoa, my god! I've finally gotten rid of that thing!" He ran for 400 meters without stopping, and Tang Yan was relieved to see that it hadn't chased after him.

  Indeed. This Snow Scale Beast didn't dare to run too far, last time it had fallen for Tang Yan's "borrowing a tiger's might" trick, this time it was much smarter, after chasing for 400 meters, it turned around and ran back, guarding its patch of Bone Dissolving Grass.

  "Old ghost, didn't you say that when I reached the Dou Zhi stage, there would be something for me? And, does your spatial ring have any clothes in it? My clothes were burned away!" Tang Yan looked around and then at the treasure below him.

  "Take it away, don't disturb me while I'm cultivating!"

  The old man in the dragon ring finished speaking, and a set of clothes appeared on the ground, along with a non-knife, non-sword weapon. Tang Yan didn't ask any more questions, hastily picked up the clothes and put them on, who knows if there were any beauties around. If he was seen by beauties, he would be embarrassed to death, so his first priority was to put on clothes.

  "The fabric is quite good, soft and breathable." Tang Yan usually wore coarse hemp clothes, but this set of deep blue clothes gave him a different feeling.

  After dressing up, Tang Yan looked at the weapon on the ground that was neither a knife nor a sword. If you say it's a knife, it's as straight as a sword. If you say it's a sword, it only has a single-edged blade, two meters long, one and a half palms wide, with a curved pointed tip. You can say it looks like a cavalry saber, but it doesn't, because its thickness is less than two fingers. The entire surface of the weapon was as white as snow, with ancient patterns etched on it, giving people a feeling that this thing was extraordinary.

  "Ah, this sword is called: Fujin!" The old man's voice echoed in Tang Yan's mind.

  "Blowing snow? How does it look like a lead iron to me? Are you kidding me? Is this something a human can hold? Can't we change to another one?" Tang Yan grasped the thirty-centimeter sword handle with both hands, and after lifting for half a day, he still couldn't move it.

  "It's gone, this thing was my former spoils of war, I used to carry it with me when I roamed the world, now I'm giving it to you, just consider it a huge rock on your back!" This old man had clearly said he was in meditation earlier, but now he seriously answered Tang Yan's words.

  "There's no scabbard, no sling, how am I supposed to carry it?" Tang Yan used the Xuanlong Quan heart method to barely lift it up and said, cursing in his heart: "Damn, is this a human-sized weapon? It weighs at least two tons, and it's called Frostbite? I think it's going to freeze your hair off!"

  There is one thing that must be said, it's really sharp and unparalleled. The blade shines with a cold light, giving off an aura of being able to cut through hair. The ancient patterns on the surface are like a cold current, swirling around and around towards the tip.

  "You wouldn't have said it, I almost forgot! Take it away!" The old man finished speaking, and with a "pa" sound on the ground, a snake-scale pouch was thrown to the ground.

  Tang Yan knew that the scabbard should be made of some kind of demon beast skin, but Tang Yan didn't ask any more questions. He simply put on what was called the Blowing Snow set, mobilized his internal energy, and with a burst of energy, he carried it on his back. His body sank, and his feet sank into the mud five inches deep, which was just right. After all, Tang Yan was now a two-star level Dou Shi, and had also been tempered in the Bone Pool, so his skeletal structure was no longer ordinary.

  "If you want to become a flying leg, eat, drink and pull it on your back, you will soon become a flying leg! If you can drive it, then your two hands can knock down the city wall!" The old man's voice was echoing in Tang Yan's mind when he was blowing snow on his back.

  "Damn it!" Tang Yan was carrying a heavy load on his back as he hurried along, but fortunately, the cold air seeping through his clothes made him feel much more comfortable.

  "I don't have a sister!" The old man didn't know that this sentence was an insult, he just knew it was a refreshing answer to give.

  Tang Yan no longer complained, he knew that the old man was really good to him, carrying this snow shovel was a living suffering, and also knew that he couldn't return to his original world. However, when he thought of Zi Yue's stunning beauty and gentle kindness, Tang Yan's mood at this time was exceptionally good as he walked towards the Fist Gate...
