People are Fighting to Break Their Diaries! They Forced Me to Eat Soft Food

195: The First Burning Lotus Platform! Breakthrough to Dou Zun”Th-this, what is this power!?”

After Venerable Chilian discovered that his opponent was Xiao Ting, he immediately prepared to unleash a high-tier Earth-level Dou Technique, while a Soul Tool specially crafted by the Hun Clan flew out from within his body, preparing to launch a sneak attack.

But the next moment, he saw Xiao Ting’s body instantly expand nearly twenty times over, and the palm that was clashing with him also expanded twenty times, becoming even larger than his entire body.

Following that, he saw Xiao Ting raise his hands and bring them together in a prayer-like gesture towards him; in an instant, the sound of his arm bones vibrating echoed like the thunderous beats of a heavenly drum.

A terrifying surge of power appeared, actually sealing off the space within a radius of several zhang completely.

Venerable Chilian attempted to use space power to escape or traverse space, but he simply could not do it.

He could only watch helplessly as the hands closed together, with a layer of purple flames appearing upon them that made his heart tremble.

Those flames transformed into nine streaks, condensing into the form of chains, piercing and tearing through the air!

It seemed as if thunder was coursing through them, and Xiao Ting’s movements accelerated once more.

At the same time, a purple fire lotus platform dozens of zhang in size bloomed beneath the giant that Xiao Ting had transformed into, its lotus petals unfurling like a throne of judgment!

”Purple Heaven Prison · Sin-Burning Lotus Platform!”

A Sin-Burning Thunder Mark appeared on Xiao Ting’s forehead, and the Purple Heaven Flame emerged within his eyes, as if transforming into two scorching purple suns.

This was a move he had created himself by combining the Law of Heaven and Earth after the Purple Heaven Flame had fused with other Heavenly Flames such as the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, Green Lotus Core Flame, Sea Heart Flame, Fallen Heart Flame, Red Lotus Karma Fire, and Wind Fury Dragon Flame.

It was divided into three levels of prison confinement.

”Purple Flame Shackles” — Body Binding

”Lotus Platform Seal” — Soul Suppression

”Heavenly Prison Gate” — Path Severing

However, the latter two levels were still just a concept; for now, only the Purple Flame Shackles were usable.

”Suppress!”

With his hands pressed together, the Purple Heaven Flame bloomed across the heavens and earth.

Within his palms, a small world constructed from the Purple Heaven Flame imprisoned, suppressed, and swallowed Venerable Chilian, trapping him inside.

Swish. When Xiao Ting spread his hands open again, there was nothing to be seen; everything had returned to nothingness.

”Resolved.” Spitting out these two words indifferently, Xiao Ting’s body instantly returned to its original state.

It was also at this moment that a terrifying aura burst forth from within his body, shooting straight into the clouds.

Countless amounts of energy between heaven and earth surged violently, converging to form a hundred-zhang-tall great cauldron that enveloped Xiao Ting.

A terrifying aura spread from the great cauldron, accompanied by an aura on the soul level; as it diffused, it caused countless people across the entire Black-Corner Region to have weak knees and their souls to tremble.

”Dong!” A sound like thunderous knocking rang out from within the great cauldron.

A terrifying force surged outwards, transforming into tangible energy ripples that caused the space within several miles of the sky to warp.

Following that, the Purple Heaven Flame soared into the sky, manipulating the clouds to rain down a special spiritual rain. Large amounts of energy and spiritual energy of heaven and earth converged, all penetrating the spatial barrier to fall upon the great cauldron. This purple-gold great cauldron suddenly erupted with a brilliant, intense radiance, along with the pressure of a king.

As time passed, a vast aura spread out like a tide, causing the souls of countless people to freeze.

”Hiss!” Watching Xiao Ting’s figure, everyone, even if they were unwilling to admit it, was certain of one thing.

Xiao Ting had truly broken through to the Dou Zun level.

And... when he killed the Hall of Souls branch hall master, he was only in a breakthrough state with half a foot stepped into the Dou Zun level.

Killing a Dou Zun while at a lower rank, and then taking the opportunity to break through to Dou Zun—what terrifying talent and combat power this was!?

”So this is the feeling of truly stepping into the Dou Zun level; it is indeed different from only having one’s physical body and soul reach this level. Dou Qi is the core of this world.”

Feeling the Dou Qi roaring and circulating within his body, Xiao Ting felt an indescribable sense of comfort.

At this moment, he was not exerting any force, but rather letting his heart move with his Qi. The Dou Qi within his body, vast as the ocean, made him somewhat fascinated; it was the feeling of ascension brought about by the transformation of power.

Now that he could unite his essence, Qi, and spirit to unleash the Law of Heaven and Earth, he dared not imagine to what extent his strength could skyrocket.

With his realm broken through, Xiao Ting felt that the power of space had become even more affable.

It was not about using his strong soul power to perceive and utilize the power of space. Nor was it about his strong physical body naturally fitting with the power of space to utilize it.

Rather, after his realm improved, his cultivation at the Dou Zun level allowed him to naturally feel that he could call upon the power of space directly, as if it were innate.

Powers such as Space Lock, space traversal, space tunnels, and space strangulation were all understood in an instant.

Crack! Xiao Ting raised his finger and tapped lightly on the void, and the space instantly warped into a bizarre shape.

This kind of power, if applied to someone else, would cause even most rank 7 Magical Beasts comparable to a Dou Zong to instantly explode and die.

Of course, this refers to a Dou Zong resisting with their body alone, without using Dou Qi or the power of space; but even if they did use them, unless they reached a high-level Dou Zong, they would only be instantly killed.

Xiao Ting immediately understood the meaning of the phrase ”all are ants below the Dou Zun level.”

Moreover, Xiao Ting did not simply break through; through the accumulation of a long period, he had directly broken through to the peak of a one-star Dou Zun.

”Kid Ting, you actually broke through to Dou Zun!?” Yao Lao, controlling Xiao Yan’s body, arrived, his eyes filled with shock.

”I was lucky enough to encounter some fortuitous opportunities.” Xiao Ting smiled slightly: ”I have only used less than one-tenth of that opportunity; Third Brother can also obtain it. Venerable Skyfire should have an idea about it.”

Hiss! This sentence made Yao Lao, Xiao Yan, and Yao Tianhuo feel incomparably shocked.

A fortuitous opportunity that allowed a Dou Zong to reach Dou Zun within half a year, and he had only used one-tenth of it. Furthermore, he could even share it with Xiao Yan—it was simply terrifying.

”I also know about it?” Yao Tianhuo was somewhat surprised and immediately began to ponder. Soon, a flash of light crossed his mind, and he said: ”Flame Lizardmen?”

The reason he had fallen back then was because he had been ambushed by a Dou Zun-level Flame Lizardman while forcefully subduing the second Fallen Heart Flame. Already struggling against the backlash of the Heavenly Flame, he was no match for that Flame Lizardman. After the Flame Lizardman seized the opportunity to severely injure him, it caused him to be unable to resist the backlash of the Fallen Heart Flame, ultimately leading to his death.

”Correct. Those Flame Lizardmen are somewhat special; they can assist fire-attribute cultivators in their cultivation.” Having already broken through to Dou Zun, Xiao Ting was confident in taking others into the Lava World to hunt Flame Lizardmen, and he smiled: ”When the time comes, Brother Yan and Xun’er can all go with me.”

Yun Yun has the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, so she should be able to as well, but Xiao Ting felt it would be better for her to use the Gate of Life and Death to refine the power of the Hall of Souls cultivators.

”Many thanks to the two seniors for stepping in to protect me. If there is anything in the future, just speak up. If I have the ability to resolve it, I will certainly not refuse.” Xiao Ting formed two spatial jade slips with his bare hands and threw them to The Two Elders Qian Bai.

”Hehe, easily done, easily done!” The Two Elders Qian Bai took the spatial jade slips, their smiles very kind: ”Little friend, with your cultivation breaking through to Dou Zun, your Alchemist level growing to Grade 8 or even Grade 9 is only a matter of time. Could you help us refine some Heavenly Venerable Pills?”

The Heavenly Venerable Pill, judging from the materials required for refinement, is a top-tier Grade 7 pill, but the difficulty of refining it reaches Grade 8; that is to say, one needs a Spirit-level soul to have a certain success rate. It can help a Peak Dou Zun expert increase their chances of breaking through to Dou Zun by thirty percent. If it is refined by a Grade 8 Alchemist, the Heavenly Venerable Pill can be refined into a Grade 8 pill, and the increased success rate will double, reaching seventy percent—it is almost a guaranteed breakthrough.
