"Have you ever heard of a youth from the wasteland, around fourteen or fifteen years old, who has opened nine great heavens and possesses unparalleled combat power?"
"Why was he previously unknown?"
The onlookers were astonished. How could such a wild and powerful youth have gone unheard of before? His strength was so extraordinary that it should have shaken the world.
Everyone was skeptical. Where could he be from? Most likely he came from the ancient divine mountains or those isolated ancient forbidden lands; otherwise, how could he be unknown?
"Perhaps he’s not actually from our wasteland, but from another great domain."
Some came to this conclusion. It wasn’t unheard of for extraordinary talents from neighboring extreme realms to cross domains, battling in all directions just to make a breakthrough.
There were even invincible geniuses who, after reaching their peak, would cross domains in search of opportunities, with items like the Bronze Treasure Book being their necessary targets.
As people speculated and wondered, the battle in the arena reached a fever pitch, becoming more intense and chaotic, shaking the heavens and the earth.
Stars continued to roll, and the human youth was terrifying. His hands pushed the sun and moon as if he were a divine king, radiating brilliance. His bronze-colored body was filled with explosive power.
People were astonished. What kind of force could control the heavens and the earth? Such a display was truly soul-shaking.
“Boom!”
The little one clashed head-on with him, slamming his palm to shatter a star, fighting fiercely forward in a blood-soaked battle in the devastated land.
The dragon roared through the nine heavens. The dragon serpent twisted and strangled, causing stone mountains to break apart in an instant, diving down and spewing terrifying scorching runes. The battle was fierce.
The little one was covered in blood. From birth to now, this battle was the most dangerous, with the risk of perishing at any moment. Both of these formidable foes had opened nine great heavens and were true adversaries. Furthermore, he was severely injured, making the situation dire.
“Why can’t I open it yet?”
At this point in the battle, the child also felt nervous. Continuing like this would undoubtedly lead to death. He needed to focus, but his condition was deteriorating rapidly. No matter what, he couldn’t open the tenth heaven; he had exhausted all means. He even risked everything, concentrating all his energy in a single moment to break through, nearly being killed by the two.
He finally understood why even ancient beast kings from the heavenly realms rarely opened the tenth heaven. It was incredibly difficult, completely different from the previous nine heavens.
It wasn’t something that could be solved with rare materials or external aids; it required personal struggle. One had to seize great fortune and breakthroughs in the vast world with no better method available.
“Why can’t it work?” The little one was frustrated. He could clearly sense it, right before his eyes, but always just out of reach.
If this continued, he might really miss the opportunity to open the tenth heaven and lose this great chance.
“Open!”
At this moment, the little one roared, battling the fierce enemies with blood at the corners of his mouth, and exerting all his strength to activate the tenth heaven, trying to make it revive.
“Bang!”
He was hit by a palm, struck on the back by the wild youth, and flew horizontally, smashing into a boulder and crashing into the dust, covered in blood.
The dragon serpent dived in, aiming to add a final claw to finish him off and then divide the treasure book.
The little one was furious. Since birth, he had never been beaten like this. Today, he was repeatedly suffering, showing signs of extreme rage. But he could feel his back almost splitting open, with blood flowing, draining his energy and spirit.
In the end, he restrained himself, shifting positions, and decided not to risk his life in a bloody battle with these two beings. He began to retreat while fighting.
“Take a risk and use their power to break through.”
He had always had this thought in mind but never dared to act due to the danger. Now, forced into this situation, he had no choice.
At this moment, the little one’s entire body was glowing, with golden whirlpools appearing, slowly rotating and absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, an extremely strange sight.
In their fierce battle, the little one focused and found a good opportunity, shouting again, forcibly trying to break through and open the tenth heaven.
“Unless you hand over the treasure book, don’t even think about opening the heaven, let alone surviving,” the dragon serpent roared, diving down.
In fact, it was also very anxious. If even the ancient beast kings from the heavenly realms struggled to open the tenth heaven, how could a mere human have glimpsed the path? This miracle made it uneasy.
The dragon serpent pressed down with one of its huge claws, emitting dazzling treasure light, unparalleled, like a sun exploding with runes all over.
This time, the little one did not avoid it but directly clashed head-on, reaching out a hand to grab the dragon serpent's claw, pulling it closer, and activating the Golden Whirlpool Technique to absorb divine power.
At the same time, the wild youth also charged in, moving with the sun, moon, and stars, like a divine king descending, directly slashing through.
“Boom!”
The little one’s other hand also clashed, grabbing his hand with a similar golden symbol appearing, wildly devouring his divine power.
The Golden Whirlpool Technique was a divine art of the Kunpeng, with limitless power, able to neutralize the opponent’s attacks, refine divine power, and absorb it into one’s own body, truly wondrous.
However, it also depended on the situation. If the opponent’s power was overwhelming and used with full force, it could not refine such immense energy, easily causing one’s body to collapse and leading to a grave end.
“Seeking death!”
The dragon serpent and the wild youth sneered coldly. With their great origins, how could they not see the intricacies of this technique? They furiously urged their divine power, intending to crush the little one to death.
“Open!”
At this moment, the little one roared. Not only did he not defend, but he also guided the two powerful forces into his body, mixing them with his own energy and will, forcibly trying to open the tenth heaven.
At the same time, the nine heavens around him glowed, connecting with the great world. Lava surged, extremely intense, resonating with him and assisting him in connecting with the tenth heaven.
A terrifying wave emanated from this place, sweeping away the ruins like roaring waves, causing the observing crowd in the distance to change color and quickly retreat.
Nearby, rocks turned to dust, stone mountains cracked apart, and the scene was astonishing, with the void here seeming to twist.
The little one cried out in pain, a sensation of his bones being crushed, his soul tearing apart. Then he reassembled, enduring unprecedented torture.
It was like being in purgatory, unbearable. The child pressed on despite the hardships, fighting through, but today was exceptionally torturous, a form of torment.
The tenth heaven flickered, alternating between brightness and darkness, emitting frightening auspicious clouds that shook the surroundings.
“He’s using the enemy’s power to open his own heaven, undergoing a transformation.”
People gasped in awe. This child was incredibly bold. A single mistake could lead to complete annihilation. How could the enemies cooperate with him?
Indeed. The wild youth and the dragon serpent were utterly ruthless. They fiercely urged their divine power, aiming to tear apart his body, the divine power surging uncontrollably into him.
“Ah!” The little one cried out in agony, continuously coughing up blood. His body was covered in cracks, as if it were about to explode.
“Open for me!” He roared, his energy and spirit turning into a hazy light, forcefully guiding the two strongest attacks towards the tenth heaven.
The child did not give up. Even at such a dangerous moment, he held on, still seeking to leverage their power, hoping to achieve an ultimate transformation and complete a rebirth in his life.
The tenth heaven was incredibly terrifying. At this moment, auspicious clouds swirled, absorbing the essence of the ten directions, and all the divine power the little one had guided was being absorbed.
“This is bad.”
The wild youth and the dragon serpent were the first to change expression, realizing that things had gone beyond their expectations and were out of control. Their own essence and divine power were continuously being drawn into the little one's body, which then contributed to opening the tenth heaven.
They both glowed and trembled in unison, resonating together. What was most terrifying was that they seemed trapped in a quagmire, unable to move, imprisoned in this place.
“What? He’s actually going to succeed?”
“Stop him! We must not allow him to seize the heavens' fortune and open the tenth heaven!”
The Rain Clan's sanctum had turned into ruins, with nearly all defenders killed, but there were still people from the Tuoba Clan, Xiling Beast Mountain, and the Four Great Families rushing forward.
However, before they could get close, they were hit by a wave of interference, violently jolted and forced to retreat. The area had an inexplicable field.
At this moment, despite his immense pain, the little one, who seemed to be breaking apart and reassembling, was thrilled. He was using the combined power of the three to open the tenth heaven.
Everything was falling into place, and he might succeed.
Time ticked by. The little one’s entire body was glowing, each inch of his flesh seeming to hold a small sun, glaringly bright, like a god descending to the mortal realm.
“Rumble!”
The great Dao seemed to roar, with mysterious symbols surrounding him, and the heavens and earth appearing as vast heavens, releasing essence and nurturing the tenth heaven.
The place was extremely peaceful and sacred, and everything was developing favorably.
Until, an hour later, a sudden explosive sound came. The little one roared, using all his strength in one final surge, leaping towards the supreme tenth heaven. Success meant achieving the tenth heaven; failure could mean death.
The wild youth and the dragon serpent also cried out, as their essence and divine power were being severely drained, nearly depleted.
“Boom!”
A tremendous sound echoed. The world was dazzlingly bright, with endless brilliance falling. The tenth heaven was bursting with auspicious clouds, seemingly on the verge of success.
Suddenly, the little one’s body trembled violently, and he began to cough up blood. He was thrown sideways, with wounds all over, on the brink of falling apart.
The tenth heaven dimmed, becoming blurred and then disappearing into the void.
The little one fell into the dust, his body riddled with horrific cracks and severe injuries. If someone struck him again, he would undoubtedly shatter into pieces.
The little one gritted his teeth, silently operating his primal essence to heal his wounds, expressionless.
A terrible defeat had occurred, unprecedented and complete. The opening of the tenth heaven was interrupted at the brink of success, nearly costing him his life.
The little one remained numb, enduring excruciating pain and silently healing himself.
Not far away, the other two were also hit, coughing up blood, lying on the ground, shaking, and covered in blood, though their injuries were lighter than the little one's.
This area was deathly silent. Everyone was stunned. Success seemed so close, yet it suddenly failed.
“Indeed, opening the tenth heaven is extremely difficult. No wonder even the descendants of Taotie, Tawo, and Zhen Huo rarely succeed. It’s rarely seen in the world.”
People lamented that the tenth heaven was too defiant against the heavens. Even with extraordinary talent, one had to face disappointment and bitterness at the final hurdle, and even risk one's life.
“Hahaha!”
Some laughed heartily. The Tuoba Clan, Xiling Beast Mountain, and other major sects all sighed in relief. Many figures quickly advanced to deal with the little one.
The little one leaped up, showing no attachment to the place, and turned to flee. He moved with incredible speed, escaping towards the ends of the earth.
“Pursue!”
These major sects would never miss such an opportunity. The severely wounded child was the perfect target to kill. Some quickly went to inform their clans to prepare magic tools like the Soul-Snatching Needle or the Soul-Stabilizing Tower.
At the same time, the wild youth and the dragon serpent also leaped, pursuing the little one’s trail.
At this moment, the little one was rarely silent. He avoided a certain direction because he saw a girl in purple, a fearsome "beast."
Simultaneously, relying on his strong spiritual senses, he avoided a series of terrifying waves and plunged into the primordial forest to escape.
An unprecedented manhunt began, with the entire heavenly realm in turmoil.
News spread in all directions, causing a huge stir in the real world, leaving everyone shocked.
Firstly, the Rain Clan’s sanctum was destroyed, uprooted entirely. Eighty percent of the defenders were killed, and three elders' true bodies were also harmed.
This was astonishing news. A single youth had accomplished this, infiltrating the Rain Clan’s sanctum alone, killing without mercy, and being unstoppable.
Moreover, he had consumed the Rain Clan's divine decree, performing such a jaw-dropping and unbelievable act.
The news caused an uproar in the Stone Nation, with everyone discussing it, making it difficult for the Rain Clan to hold their heads high.
Additionally, the little one had opened the tenth heaven but faced sudden misfortune at the moment of success, leading to a shocking failure that stunned all directions.
On this day, the entire vast wilderness was buzzing with the news.
In comparison, the appearance of the dragon serpent and the wild youth’s emergence were overshadowed by this event.
“Go hunt the little one.”
This order appeared in many major sects, such as the Four Great Families, the Rain Clan, and the Tuoba Ancient Clan, leading to a great chaos in the virtual divine realm.
All passages were blocked, and the sects united to search for the little one, aiming to kill him in this realm and leave him no chance of survival.
Clearly, they had prepared magical tools. Even if they were rare and precious, they would be used now. If they did not kill the little one, they could not rest easy.
This was a bloody storm and a period of upheaval, with the entire heavenly realm in turmoil and a calamity beginning.
For several days, the little one remained on the run without rest, enduring countless blockades and battles, covered in blood.
The most severe encounters were with the dragon serpent and the human youth, whose repeated battles worsened his injuries.
Most frighteningly, the golden passages were blocked, with countless experts guarding them, making it impossible for him to retreat from this domain.
This situation lasted for ten days. The little one’s injuries worsened, his body in tatters, on the brink of death, sustained only by sheer will.
Finally, after escaping another pursuit, he hid in an ancient cave in the mountains, silently healing. With limited time, he had to hurry; otherwise, the enemies would arrive.
During these days, he reflected on why opening the tenth heaven had failed. He was unable to understand and remained troubled.
On that day, with the combined power of three beings who had opened nine heavens, such a breakthrough failed. It was understandable that he was disheartened. He reasoned that if he had been alone, quietly trying to break through without interruption, it might have been better.
After all, it was the combined power of three.
“This guy is too reckless. Father said no one has ever dared to be so rash. How could one open the tenth heaven in the virtual divine realm?” Fire Spirit murmured with a frown.
The Fire Emperor once said that even the pure-blooded beings from the Ancient Divine Mountain would always have to summon the most powerful ancient existences for protection when faced with such defiant opportunities. It would be impossible for one person to break through alone.
Several days later, the little one was still on the run, and his injuries had become extremely severe, nearly irreversible.
His body was in tatters. Over the past half month, he had endured countless battles and was on the brink of collapse.
“It’s really unwilling,” the little one murmured to himself. He couldn’t believe he would be killed. Even at this moment, he had not given up, continuing to heal and contemplate the tenth heaven.
“Boom!”
Another battle erupted. The enemies had caught up. The little one fought desperately, his clothes stained with blood, his entire body covered in red, and he managed to escape once more.
This time, after fleeing, he collapsed in the primordial forest, his body torn apart as if a gust of wind could cause him to disintegrate, and blood stained the grass.
“This is my last chance. I still have to push through.” The stubbornness of the child flared up, and he had not yet given up.
The tenth heaven still existed, though it was very vague, lingering beside him.
He completely released his mind, ignoring whether enemies were approaching, becoming completely ethereal, forgetting everything.
His injured body and nearly depleted essence and spirit meant that this time it was extremely difficult, and there was a high possibility of dying during the breakthrough.
As time passed slowly, the little one persisted. There was always a light in his heart guiding him forward, refusing to give up.
Eventually, he exhausted his last bit of strength, burning out completely, his entire body dim, with no power left inside.
At that moment, he resembled a corpse, just an empty shell, without the essence to nourish him, on the verge of complete death.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, at this very moment, a vast aura surged forth. When he was on the brink of exhaustion, the hidden potential deep within his body was released, surging like an ocean.
He glowed completely, his wounds healing rapidly. Waves of divine light surged forth, and with a thunderous sound, it pierced through the void, and the tenth heaven was connected.
The auspicious clouds there seemed to open up a celestial realm.
He was about to succeed. Unless something unexpected happened, he would achieve the tenth heaven.
“Surviving after being pushed to the edge of death, my body in tatters, and having exhausted the last bit of essence within me, is like clearing everything and starting anew.”
At this moment, the little one understood thoroughly and gained complete insight.
In ancient times, each supreme being faced different situations when opening the tenth heaven, especially for him, as he had broken through in such a unique manner.
“I once lost everything, and thus I am reborn.” The little one murmured to himself.
Divine light surged forth, and the tenth heaven expanded, about to fully manifest, with auspicious clouds nourishing his body.
The child roared loudly. Due to the length of this chapter, it was delayed. He sought monthly tickets, recommendation votes, and healing.
