Break Through In Body Path

First, he decided to refine qi refining pills for his cultivation.

He retrieved a selection of high-quality spirit herbs from his storage ring, each chosen for their potency and specific properties essential for qi enhancement.

Arranging them carefully, he activated the alchemy furnace with a flick of his wrist, sending a tendril of his inner flame into its core.

The furnace roared to life, its temperature rising rapidly under the influence of his powerful flame.

Ling Tian's movements were fluid and precise as he crushed, ground, and mixed the herbs, his hands a blur of motion.

He added the ingredients to the furnace in a specific order. The flame within the furnace danced and shifted, responding to his control with remarkable precision.

As the herbs began to melt and combine, Ling Tian infused the mixture with his qi, guiding the process with an expert touch.

The temperature within the furnace was perfect, and the flame's intensity was perfectly balanced to avoid burning or undercooking the delicate ingredients.

"Now comes the difficult part."

Time seemed to stretch as he focused intently on his task, every ounce of his being dedicated to the creation of the pills.

After several hours of meticulous work, the process neared completion.

Ling Tian intensified the flame for a final burst, condensing the mixture into a set of perfectly formed qi refining pills.

He carefully extracted the pills from the furnace, their radiant glow a testament to their potency.

"These should be at the peak level," he muttered, examining the pills closely. "The Heaven Devouring Codex has truly elevated my alchemy to new heights."

He continued, "The pill's grades are divided into low, mid, high, and peak on the basis of their purity, and the pills I refined are of the peak grade with the help of my inner flame."

He remembered his previous refinements,

"Before this, I would have been lucky if I could refine a high-grade pill due to poor quality of flame and furnace, but now merely with my inner flame I can refine peak quality pills."

Next, Ling Tian turned his attention to refining demonic beast blood.

He had several vials of blood from the powerful beasts he had defeated, each containing immense potential for body refinement.

He set up another array, this one specifically designed for blood refinement and placed a vial of Flame-Winged Lion blood in the center.

Using the Heaven Devouring Codex once more, he guided his inner flame into the array, the intricate patterns glowing as the process began.

The blood within the vial began to boil and bubble, impurities rising to the surface and being burned away by the intense heat.

Ling Tian's control was impeccable, his focus unyielding as he purified the blood to its essence.

As the refinement progressed, the blood transformed, its color deepening and its energy becoming more concentrated.

Ling Tian continued to chant the incantations, his inner flame burning brightly as it completed the purification process.

When he was finished, the blood had become a potent elixir, ready to enhance his physical strength.

He held the refined blood up to the light, admiring its purity.

"With this, my body refinement will advance significantly," he said, a note of satisfaction in his voice. "The combination of qi refinement and body refinement will make me unstoppable."

Ling Tian consumed a portion of the refined blood, feeling its potent energy coursing through his veins.

It was like liquid fire, burning away impurities and strengthening his muscles and bones.

The effect was immediate and profound, his physical power surging to new heights.

"This is incredible," he said, clenching his fists and feeling the raw strength within. "The Heaven Devouring Codex has surpassed all my expectations."

Determined to capitalize on this newfound power, Ling Tian decided to refine all the beast blood he had collected, aiming to break through directly from the 5th level to the 9th level of the Strength Awakening stage.

He set up an array around him, placing each vial of demonic beast blood in precise positions to maximize the efficiency of the refinement process.

"I need to seize this opportunity," he murmured to himself, his eyes glinting with determination. "If I can reach the 9th level, my physical prowess will be unmatched."

Ling Tian took a deep breath and activated the array, his inner flame flaring to life.

The air around him crackled with energy as the array began its work, drawing the beast's blood into its center.

One by one, the vials emptied, their contents swirling together in a potent, swirling mass of raw power.

He sat cross-legged within the array, focusing his mind and channeling his qi.

The Heaven Devouring Codex guided his actions, its intricate patterns and chants forming a mental blueprint for the process.

He began the refinement, his inner flame enveloping the mass of blood, burning away impurities and concentrating its essence.

As the blood refined, Ling Tian absorbed it into his body, feeling the intense power surge through him.

His muscles tightened and expanded, his bones became denser, and his skin toughened.

The energy was overwhelming, a torrent of power that threatened to consume him, but he maintained his focus, controlling the process with the precision and discipline he had honed over countless battles.

The first surge of power hit him like a wave, pushing him from the 5th to the 6th level of the Strength Awakening stage.

His body trembled as the refined blood integrated with his own, each cell vibrating with newfound strength.

His muscles ripped slightly but were healed soon after with all the energy from the refined blood, and his reflexes sharpened.

"I can feel it," he whispered, his voice strained with the effort of maintaining control. "This is just the beginning."

Ling Tian took a moment to steady himself, then continued the process.

The array hummed with energy as more beast blood was refined and absorbed.

The next breakthrough came faster than the first, his body hungrily devouring the potent energy.

As he ascended to the 7th level, his physical transformation became more pronounced.

His skin glowed with a faint, ethereal light, and his bones felt like iron.

"This power... it's intoxicating," he muttered, feeling the rush of strength. "But I must remain focused."

With renewed determination, Ling Tian pressed on.

The final vials of beast blood were drawn into the array, their essence purified by his inner flame.

The energy within him built to a crescendo, the pressure almost unbearable.

He gritted his teeth, channeling every ounce of his willpower to control the surge.

The breakthrough to the 8th level was a moment to witness.

His body was a conduit for raw, unadulterated power, every fiber of his being vibrating with energy.

His muscles became denser, his bones harder, and his skin tougher.

The transformation was complete, his physical prowess reaching new heights.

"I've done it," he said, his voice filled with confidence and triumph. "The 8th level of the Strength Awakening stage."

Ling Tian stood up, flexing his newly strengthened muscles, feeling the immense power coursing through him.

His qi and physical power were nearly in perfect harmony, his body a fortress of strength.

With the Heaven Devouring Codex and his relentless pursuit of power, he was ready to face any challenge the Inner Zone could throw at him.

"No beast or cultivator in the Inner Zone will be able to stand against me," he declared, a triumphant smile spreading across his face.

As Ling Tian reveled in his newfound strength, he realized that he still had more beast blood left.

The temptation to push further, to break through to the 9th level, was too strong to resist.

"This is my chance," he said to himself. "I need to become stronger."
