The forest was tranquil, with all the birds and beasts lying low in fear, worshipping one direction with utter terror.
In the depths of the dense forest, the grass was stained red with blood. Little One was sitting there, covered in injuries, his body in tatters, on the brink of death. But now, everything had reversed.
The Tenth Cave of Heaven had opened, and auspicious clouds appeared, peaceful and sacred, nourishing his physical body and healing his wounds.
This time, his injuries were truly severe, and under normal circumstances, death would have been inevitable. There seemed to be no way out, but amidst exhaustion and the brink of collapse, life reemerged, and a reversal occurred.
Only through such a rebirth could he survive and continue to live.
In the Tenth Cave of Heaven, divine radiance surged, like an orderly divine chain, flowing from the void and pouring into Little One’s body.
This was a beneficial cycle, with everything moving in a positive direction.
At this moment, his latent potential surged, fully awakening, like a barren wasteland suddenly sprouting tender shoots, growing vigorously with a fresh vitality, rejuvenating him.
His tattered body was nourished as if a desert was receiving sweet dew, gradually regaining vitality and no longer remaining lifeless.
A thunderous roar erupted from within Little One’s body, his potential crashing like a great river, penetrating the Tenth Cave of Heaven and making it a tangible reality, descending from the void.
This was a profound transformation of great cosmic creation. Normally, people could advance to the next great realm after opening four caves, but Little One had progressed all the way to the Ninth Cave without ending this great realm’s cultivation.
The sounds were ceaseless. The Tenth Cave of Heaven had materialized, nearly completed. Immortal energy emerged in wisps, releasing an aura of immortality.
Reaching this stage was truly remarkable. Little One’s body was shattered, broken, with even his vital essence dried up, close to falling.
He had experienced a true death, emptied all his vitality, exhausted his essence and spirit, essentially starting anew. It was a process of rebirth.
From life to death, and from death to life, few could endure such a path.
This path was the most difficult. Even descendants of deities struggled to open the Tenth Cave of Heaven. Despite talent, reaching the final step could still lead to demise, with the body perishing and the way being lost.
These past half-months were an indescribable torment for Little One. Amidst setbacks, bitterness, and trials, with hope, he endured purgatorial suffering and finally persevered.
The Tenth Cave of Heaven, at this moment, was unprecedented. Even ancient human records avoided it, as if it were a taboo, with no specific accounts of successful existences.
Finally.
The opening was successful, without any mishap.
The other nine caves revolved around this one, merging with it. They underwent fusion, erupting with brilliant light, unparalleled, like ten suns hanging in the sky.
In the end, with a violent tremor, the Tenth Cave of Heaven pushed out the other caves. It reappeared in its proper position above Little One’s head, commanding the other caves.
This "volcano" seemed extraordinarily powerful, magnificent and grand, towering and imposing. The "lava" inside flowed like a waterfall, with the most powerful life essence surging.
The wounds on Little One’s body healed, the nearly severed body was nourished, reconnected, and began a process of rebirth.
This was a powerful wave, like a hurricane, sweeping through the forest and the mountain range, causing the entire area to tremble, like a vast ocean in upheaval.
The many birds and beasts became even more terrified, lying on the ground, trembling.
Little One sat there, eyes closed, adjusting his injuries. The bleeding stopped, and he radiated a divine glow, with wounds crawling and rapidly scabbing over.
Above him, the Tenth Cave of Heaven became even more resplendent, its divine radiance dazzling, making the sun in the sky seem dim. It became the only thing in the world.
In the Tenth Cave of Heaven, streams of celestial light fell like waterfalls, drenching Little One, making him look crystal clear, with all his wounds healing.
The mist was hazy, and the forest appeared extremely mysterious. Little One, like a deity, received the nourishment of his own cave, undergoing constant transformation.
The deathly energy was dispersed, and the blood mist vanished, leaving only vitality, giving a sense of the birth of all things, the beginning of the world, full of hope.
At this moment, the surrounding vegetation was growing, sprouting, and expanding. Some seeds in the soil quickly took root and sprouted tender shoots.
In the divine light and mist, all the vegetation was undergoing a process of rebirth, just like Little One.
The Tenth Cave of Heaven was dazzling, commanding great cosmic creation, nourishing the young one. At this time, the scars on his body were rapidly falling off, and the blood marks disappeared.
Soon, his body began to glow, with no cracks or scars remaining, completely restored, and vital energy continued to pour into him, filling the void.
Quickly, a glowing sphere appeared in the forest, with Little One wrapped inside, akin to a process of rebirth and new life, marking a complete transformation.
His internal vitality surged, breaking through the original realm, strong enough to make the birds and beasts here tremble and shiver on the ground.
In the end, Little One fully recovered, his injuries healed, and he was far stronger and more powerful than before, truly reaching the peak of this realm, known as the extreme state.
With all ten caves opened, he stood on the pinnacle, able to overlook this domain and push forward in all directions.
It was unclear how much time had passed when Little One opened his eyes, like two lightning bolts tearing through the void, lighting up the entire forest and startling all.
At this moment, the transformation was completely over. He was entirely different from before, truly capable of looking down on all directions and gazing at the world with pride.
All ten caves converged, slowly retreating, vanishing into the void.
In the forest, the terrifying fluctuations receded like a tide, gradually calming down, no longer oppressive or intimidating, leaving only tranquility.
Everything was over. The various ferocious beasts and birds in the mountains stopped trembling, quickly rising, and fleeing as if relieved, no longer needing to worship the supreme.
Little One stood up, without any hostility, his eyes clear, calm, and peaceful, with divine radiance and auspicious energy retracted, full of vitality. He gazed into the distance, with a sense of returning to the origin.
“The power of the gods is limitless, creating a world like this, with no difference from the real world, corresponding to reality.” Little One muttered to himself, recalling the experiences of the past half-month, feeling as if he was in a true realm rather than a spiritual world.
At this moment, the outside world was extremely noisy. Heroes rose, ancient sects stirred, and many experts emerged, seeking Little One's whereabouts to kill him.
Over the past half-month, both the real world and the virtual divine realm were in a frenzy, with people discussing endlessly and powerful figures appearing, all taking action.
“This boy is truly terrifying. Although he was heavily injured and on the brink of death, he is still fleeing and hasn’t been hunted down.”
“Clearly, he can't hold on much longer. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be killed within the next two days. His body is almost rotting away.”
Little One's attempt to open the Tenth Cave of Heaven had captured everyone's attention. Many sects, including the Xiling Beast Mountain, the Tuoba Ancient Family, and the Rain Clan, did not want him to succeed.
In recent days, the outside world had been tumultuous and highly unsettled. The Tenth Cave of Heaven was a legend, and breaking through it signified the rise of a young supreme being.
Little One had failed for now, but he still made people uneasy. Even those who had no enmity with him were paying close attention.
"Don't worry, news from Xiling Beast Mountain confirms that opening the Tenth Cave of Heaven is not easy and only offers a single fleeting chance. He has already missed it."
On this day, the Tuoba Family and the Rain Clan released such news, which shocked everyone following the situation.
Ordinary people might not know, but the Ancient Divine Mountains had a deep understanding of the Tenth Cave of Heaven. Their ancestors, their bloodline origins, had seen such supremes before.
Xiling Beast Mountain, home to many ancient species, had some powerful beings who had served in the Ancient Divine Mountains and knew something about it.
Later, an ancient powerhouse who had served in the South Desolate Divine Mountain confirmed this to his descendants upon returning to his clan. If one failed, it would be very difficult to succeed again.
The real world and the virtual divine realm were in an uproar.
Some people sighed, lamenting the loss of Little One. For humanity, it was a significant loss, akin to losing a supreme being who could compete with all races.
Many people's attitudes changed noticeably, expressing dissatisfaction with the Tuoba Clan, Xiling Beast Mountain, and others, as if they had cut off a young supreme’s path.
“It’s such a pity. He was so close to success.”
No matter how people lamented, the news remained the same, and everyone shook their heads, unable to change anything.
“Hahaha,” people from the Kun, Li, Meng, and Yuan clans laughed heartily. From their perspective, Little One deserved to be punished. If he had become a supreme being, it would have posed the greatest threat.
“Finally lost the opportunity. Half a month has passed, and he missed the best time. The chance is gone. Let him suffer in regret and despair,” some members of the Rain Clan said coldly.
This time, they had suffered greatly. Their pure land had been erased, uprooted, with their experts slaughtered, leaving them in shame. It was a humiliation.
Of course, things couldn't end like this. Now was the best time to hunt down Little One and eliminate him.
“At this point, he’s bound to cause more trouble. It’s time to behead him.” The Tuoba Ancient Family’s young masters set out, leading people to search the mountain range.
In fact, besides them, many other major forces had also followed, closing in on the forest.
They were the first to arrive, moving swiftly, with over a hundred people moving like tigers and apes through the dense forest.
“Last time, I almost caught him. This time, he must not escape,” a young man in a red feathered robe said coldly, his eyes icy.
Nearby, a young man in silver battle armor with an imposing demeanor laughed, “Sixth Brother, don’t be disheartened. Last time, it was I and a few elders who injured him, almost splitting him in half. Unfortunately, he still escaped. Let’s see who can take his head this time.”
Despite his laughter, the murderous intent in the second young master of the Tuoba Clan was even stronger. Since they had found his trail and learned the young man’s whereabouts, they could not let him escape again.
Everyone knew now that Little One was severely injured and his combat power exhausted. Even an ordinary wild beast could take his life. If he was allowed to escape again, how could they face it?
“Second Brother, I bet that I will be the one to kill him this time,” the Sixth Young Master said, a red magic needle appearing at his fingertips, glowing with a cold light.
Some major clans, like the Tuoba Ancient Family, had used their resources, bringing out magical artifacts to thoroughly suppress Little One, ensuring both his virtual and real bodies were destroyed.
“Fine, if I lose, I won’t take any credit for the bronze piece on his body. It will all be your achievement, and you can present it to the clan,” the Second Young Master said with a faint smile.
In their view, Little One was already a piece of meat on the chopping block, doomed and unable to survive.
In another direction, members of the Rain Clan had also rushed over. No one was more urgent than them. Little One had killed many of their experts and destroyed their pure land, causing them to lose face. The Rain Clan desperately needed to torment and kill him to wash away that disgrace.
“Hope you last a bit longer until we arrive,” the Rain Clan’s powerful figures had cold expressions, exuding bone-chilling killing intent.
“Move faster. Don’t let that dragon get ahead of us, or we’ll miss our chance.”
From afar, other ancient sects also sent their strongest, searching the mountains for Little One, vowing to kill him and destroy his real body as well.
They feared retaliation for their previous attack on the Supplementing Heaven Pavilion.
Additionally, a large number of people came for the bronze divine book in his possession. Even if they couldn’t get it all, they could trade it for treasures.
