"I didn't expect that after being trapped in heartforce for so long, I'd break through three levels as soon as I broke through, directly forming a heartworld." Zhou Tong could sense the changes in his heartforce, and he understood that this was all within his expectations.
In truth, Zhou Tong had long ago passed through all of the levels of heartforce. Everything he had experienced in other worlds had been perfectly transformed into the accumulation of heartforce. The only thing he hadn't been able to pass was the 'mortal world' trial.
But now that he had passed the 'mortal world' trial, he would no longer be shackled by any shackles in his Heartforce Cultivation. He would be able to instantly surpass everything else and continuously break through, directly reaching the supreme sixth level. From then on, he would be able to influence reality and establish a 'heartworld'.
To Heartforce Cultivators, a heartworld was like the Golden pill. To Ki Refiners, a chaotic region was like the Golden Pill.
Only those who had established a heartworld could be considered true Heartforce Cultivators.
"Ki Refiners, Fiendgod Body Refiners, Heartforce Cultivators … I no longer have any flaws in the three major systems of cultivation." Zhou Tong said to himself. From a certain perspective, this was a type of perfection, and also the most important step he had taken in the Eternal Dao of Fire.
Ki Refiners trained in Immortal energy and were skilled in using all sorts of secret arts and magic treasures. Fiendgod Body Refiners trained in the physical body and were skilled in divine abilities and close combat. Heartforce Cultivators trained in heartforce and used heartforce to establish a heartworld. They had all sorts of strange, unfathomable techniques that could directly attack the heart of an enemy.
Having gathered all three major schools represented a certain degree of perfection.
But of course, heartforce was still very different from Ki Refiners and Fiendgod Body Refiners.
Both Ki Refiners and Fiendgod Body Refiners pursued the power of their 'Dao'. Heartforce Cultivators, however, pursued the stability of their Dao, not the power of their Dao. Heartforce Cultivators established their heartworlds, and only when their heartworlds were stable could they expand outwards.
The vastness of a heartworld represented the power of a Heartforce Cultivator. Some Verge-level Heartforce Cultivators had heartworlds that were comparable in size to an entire territory.
"My Ultimate Dao of Fire is definitely the most stable Dao. It's definitely the most perfect Dao for developing a heartworld. However, there's no need to rush the expansion of my Heart World for the time being. I should first revive completely and upgrade my Ultimate Path of Fire to the fourth level! 'Zhou Tong's heart stirred as he activated the formations and restrictions within the cave abode and frantically absorbed energy from the outside world.
"Rumble!!"
In an instant, the entire Supreme Cave Abode was stirred up as a massive amount of energy poured into Zhou Tong's cave abode.
"Sure enough, it's starting to revive," the spirit of the cave nodded and released the restriction on the cave, allowing Zhou Tong to breathe freely.
The source of the Supreme Immortal's cave was so powerful that even if it was opened up for Zhou Tong to breathe, it wouldn't consume much of it. In just a moment, in the cave, Zhou Tong's body, which was still somewhat illusory, gradually became solid with the infusion of a huge amount of power.
After a short while, he had already recovered to his peak state.
"Next up is the fourth level of the Ultimate Path of Fire!" A hint of a smile appeared on Zhou Tong's face. When he had fought the black-robed man to the death, he had already understood that his Ultimate Path of Fire was different from the Dao Lord of the Fourth Step's Ultimate Path of Fire in thirteen different areas. He knew exactly who was right and who was wrong!
Of the thirteen differences, eleven of them were due to him bringing in Daos from other worlds. However, two of them were indeed the fault of that Dao Lord of the Fourth Step.
"Rumble!"
In almost an instant, the majestic Fire Dao Tree within Zhou Tong's body began to grow. The Dao-tree rumbled, and every single branch was like a True Dragon that coiled upwards. The trunk grew thicker and thicker, and countless branches and leaves swayed.
Zhou Tong's Dao-tree was simply too majestic. Even the Dao-tree of the most monstrous Dao Lord of the Fourth Step could only be considered a frail little tree in front of Zhou Tong's Dao-tree. This was because Zhou Tong's Ultimate Path of Fire was simply too powerful, and his foundation was countless times more solid than theirs.
The Dao-tree continued to grow, and it only stopped when it reached a height of 540,000 meters.
At this point, Zhou Tong's Dao-tree had truly reached its limit. If he wanted to continue breaking through, he would have to fuse with the Daos and make his Dao-tree grow an Eternal Flower!
"Rumble!"
At this moment, the entire Supreme Cave Abode was filled with wind and clouds. A terrifying aura covered the heavens and the earth, wildly spreading out from Zhou Tong's cave abode and pervading the entire cave abode.
"This is … a breakthrough?!" The blue-robed, white-haired cave abode spirit suddenly looked towards the cave abode that Zhou Tong had left behind on the ground, a hint of disbelief in its eyes.
"His aura has grown so much stronger? It's even stronger than when he self-detonated earlier? But how is this possible? He still doesn't have an Eternal aura on him. Is he still a Dao Lord of the Fourth Step? He's just a Daolord of the Fourth Step who is several times stronger than before? "The more the cave abode spirit looked at it, the more incredulous it felt.
It wasn't just the cave abode spirit; all of the Eternal Emperors in the plaza of the second trial were staring at the cave abode in astonishment as well. A hint of astonishment had appeared in their hearts.
"He didn't break through to become an Eternal Emperor. He's still a Samsara Daolord, but he's still a Samsara Daolord. Can it be that he's a Daolord of the Fifth Step? "An Eternal Emperor who was infinitely close to becoming a Hegemon said in amazement.
"Impossible. There's no way he's a Daolord of the Fifth Step. There's no such thing as a Daolord of the Fifth Step. The only possibility is that we've been deceived. He wasn't a Daolord of the Fourth Step at all; he was a Daolord of the Third Step! "Another Eternal Emperor grew more and more stunned as he spoke.
He simply couldn't imagine how Zhou Tong, a Daolord of the Third Step, could possess such terrifying combat power.
"So he was just a Daolord of the Third Step. I never would've imagined that even I would be deceived by his aura!" A hint of amazement appeared on the blue-robed, white-haired cave abode spirit's face. "There's only one type of Daolord who is capable of such an inconceivable feat, and who has such power as a Daolord of the Third Step … an Omega Daolord!"
"I misjudged him. So he's a Daolord who trains in the Omega Dao of Fire. No wonder the rewards of the second trial had such an impact on him. No wonder he was willing to sacrifice his own life in the third trial. So he was meditating on the Dao. He wanted to use battle to meditate on the Dao in order to completely master the fourth level of the Omega Dao of Fire! "The cave abode spirit instantly thought of many things.
In fact, he was even able to guess why Zhou Tong had self-detonated in the end.
"He wasn't trying to rely on self-detonation to kill his opponent; he was simply afraid. He was afraid that his opponent would use some sort of karmic technique to destroy his true body. When he destroyed his true body, he would use some sort of karmic Dao to destroy the truesoul hidden within his lifeblood Dao-seal. "The cave abode spirit could be said to have seen through Zhou Tong's final self-detonation.
Since he had intentionally sacrificed his own life to meditate on the Dao, and had even reached the fourth level of the Omega Dao, how could he possibly die in the hands of his opponent?
Only by self-detonating would he be able to ensure that his opponent wouldn't be able to use any sort of karmic technique against him.
