Without any hesitation, Ding Hao immediately activated the Heaven Fire Qi Seed in the middle dantian of his chest.

  The Heaven Fire Qi was flowing and surging about like golden lava, rumbling like a volcanic eruption. The 10th acupoint of the third meridian of his Six Strange Veins—the Jutu acupoint of Chong channel—was almost instantaneously breached by this mad outburst of Heaven Fire Qi.

  The whole process was too fast and violent. Ding Hao could not help but let out a muffled groan. There was a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.

  “It doesn’t seem a good idea to suppress it too hard……” Ding Hao ran his Qi around his meridians and warmed his body. Soon, he controlled the raging Qi, making it eddy around that particular Jutu acupoint.

  If anyone were to learn about this violent method, and how much it could help accelerate their cultivation, their jaws would definitely drop.

  Genius warriors who had practiced for years and accumulated enough latent power would still take one or two months to complete the breakthrough. Not even one out of ten million warriors could break through into the sixth-apertured level instantaneously like Ding Hao.

  Dozens of breaths later, a fiery golden flame gushed out from Ding Hao’s back.

  He had succeeded in unsealing another meridian!

  Ding Hao took less than 15 minutes to successfully reach the Dual-Meridian Seven-Apertured Great Grandmaster Realm, unsealing two meridian channels.

  But that was obviously not the end.

  After breaching these two acupoints, the surging and vigorous Qi inside Ding Hao’s body did not seem to be much relieved. His Twelve Meridians and Six Strange Veins were all bursting with Qi, causing the meridian channels to swell and ache. This pain was acute, as the Qi eddied and gushed around his meridians most violently.

  “I can still advance.”


  After thinking for a while, Ding Hao decided to continue breaching the next acupoint.

  In the silvery ice cave, Ding Hao sat cross-legged in the center of the ice chamber. Golden and silver flames surrounded his body, morphing into the shape of dragons, releasing mysterious and resplendent colors, illuminating the entire room as if it was paradise.

  Layers of invisible energy, centering on Ding Hao, contracted and expanded with great regularity like a beating heart, accompanying his breaths.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  The whole cave boomed like a dragon making roars.

  This kind of energy was frightfully strong. Had Ding Hao not set up an inscription barrier around the cave, its ice walls would have shattered long ago.

  The clothes on Ding Hao’s body had long been shattered by this energy, disintegrating into powder and vanishing. His body was stark naked—clear, luscious and almost transparent like jade. The 20 bones of his chest and rib cage seemed plated with silver, with Yin and Yang Qi interchanging. The large bones down his spine had morphed into a purple divine dragon, usurping his back.

  Moreover, a silvery ray of light was orbiting from his abdomen to every part of his body, in a specific trajectory. Here and there, some silvery star-like ball of light would appear. Another golden ray of light was also orbiting around his body from his chest, in another trajectory, together with other similarly large shimmering golden stars.

  These were the trajectories of two kinds of Qi in his body, as well as the acupoints of his Twelve Meridians and Six Strange Veins that had been breached.

  Ding Hao’s body, like a newly-formed universe, was evolving and expanding little by little. The golden and silvery tracks were naturally formed, containing the aura of the Great Tao. The acupoints formed different constellation pathways, and a mysterious power was generating slowly inside Ding Hao’s body.

  This strange and magnificent phenomenon continued.

  Gold and silvery threads continued to spread and expand. As time went by, new balls of light kept shimmering in Ding Hao’s body, releasing starry brilliance.

  Time passed slowly and yet quickly.

  He did not know how long it took, but the raging Qi coursing inside Ding Hao’s body finally stabilized.

  The golden and silvery flames surrounding him became more and more dazzling. The temperature on his right side was extremely cold, with even the air crackling like freezing ice. On his left side, however, it was like a ball of solar fire. The air was distorted, and even the space seemed to be melting.

  These two forces reinforced and counteracted each other.

  In the end, half of Ding Hao’s body was coated in an extremely mysterious layer of cold ice, like an armor, while the other half was burning with golden flames. There seemed to be an invisible line dividing the two, splitting his body into two halves—one half extremely cold, the other extremely hot. It was a strange and magnificent phenomenon, utterly incredible.

  Ding Hao was not done yet.

  He was making a last effort to continue the breakthrough.

  The inscription barrier around him began to shatter and disintegrate, and the ice that had accumulated for tens of millions of years started to melt.

  Under the dual effects of Ding Hao’s ice and fire, the water droplets would freeze into ice, before melting into water droplets again. Over a distance of four to five meters, a droplet of water would freeze and melt many dozen times before hitting the ground.

  15 minutes later, the inscription barrier surrounding him had completely disintegrated.

  There was a surge of Qi energy and a loud boom. Unable to withstand that terrible power, the entire ice cave had exploded.

  The entire mountaintop was blown away in an instant, with at least several hundred meters shaved off.
