I Can Strengthen Everything

"Ugh..."

Inside the Training Room, Fang Xing’s face was contorted, his internal organs feeling as if they were being incinerated by a raging inferno.

A scorching heat swept through the entire Training Room.

Every inch of his flesh and blood was engulfed by the searing power.

His sinews, flesh, and internal organs—Fang Xing felt as if he were melting.

The Red Fire Divine Skill operated at its peak, azure flames raging all around his body.

The air distorted!

An intense burning sensation swept over his mind; even his very soul felt like it was being calcined.

The stage of Extreme Red Flame was not just a breakthrough in Martial Arts, but a sublimation of his very essence.

To break through to Extreme Red Flame, one had to endure the agony of a fire consuming the heart. Even though Fang Xing was prepared, the pain still made him grit his teeth so hard they nearly shattered.

As the Essence Power fused with him, the searing agony lessened for a moment, only to surge back even stronger the next instant.

"HAAAHHH!!!"

Fang Xing tensed every muscle, letting out a pained, beast-like roar.

Burning, healing, and burning again.

His entire body was like a piece of well-tempered steel being frantically forged in the flames of Hell.

His aura pulsed, its powerful might seeming to suppress the very air around him.

The pain from the Red Fire Divine Skill’s breakthrough was so intense it had nearly numbed his nerves.

Even if he wanted to give up, it was too late. Failure to break through the final stage of the Red Fire Divine Skill meant he would suffer a backlash from the Divine Skill—a heart consumed by flames.

And that agony wouldn’t be temporary; it would be permanent.

Only by surviving this ordeal could he achieve Divine Skill Perfection!

He was multitasking.

Even as he pushed for a breakthrough with the Red Fire Divine Skill, he didn’t neglect his cultivation of the Longevity Technique. He continuously absorbed the Vast and Majestic Essence Power, replenishing his own True Qi.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he had harnessed the power of the Demon King Level Divine Beast Essence to reach the Sixth-Layer Extreme.

All one hundred and eight of his Major Acupoints were filled.

Inside his body, his heart pounded furiously.

Under his command, all of his True Qi began to assault the Divine Filth Dragon Gate.

The Heart Divine Organ!

This was the most crucial stage for the Divine Treasure. With the Demon King Level Divine Beast Essence supporting him, Fang Xing wasn’t the least bit worried about failure.

The power of the Divine Beast Essence was simply too vast; even with the Red Fire Divine Skill absorbing a portion, what remained was still immense.

A two-pronged attack!

While enduring the agony of his body being consumed by flames, Fang Xing forced his focus toward assaulting the Divine Filth Dragon Gate.

The pain of this Red Fire Divine Skill breakthrough was beyond imagination. Fortunately, his Mental Power was strong enough to keep him conscious.

Otherwise, the consequences would have been dire.

Time ticked by, second by second.

Inside the Training Room, an intense, high-temperature aura swept out, scorching the air until the room seemed to transform into a domain of fire.

Fortunately, the Training Room was constructed from special materials, or the entire chamber might have been incinerated.

Even the flames he released passively, without conscious effort, were terrifying.

They could melt gold and smelt iron in the span of a single breath.

The entire Training Room was suffused with scorching heat, the very air shimmering in thermal waves.

Though it was late autumn, a scorching aura permeated Qingfeng Villa.

He was assimilating the heavens and earth, single-handedly altering the environment of the entire area.

...

Day turned to night.

On a cold, late-autumn evening, the temperature within the villa was even hotter than the peak of midsummer.

It was as if a Land of Fire Domain had been created.

Inside the Training Room, Fang Xing remained perfectly still, his body still shrouded in raging flames.

BOOM—!!!

A thunderous sound erupted from within Fang Xing’s body. In the next instant, his aura skyrocketed.

His True Qi instantly increased more than tenfold.

A powerful might swept outward.

The sound of his heartbeat suddenly became much more powerful.

True Qi Seventh Layer!

Fueled by the power of the Demon King Level Divine Beast Essence, he had instantly ascended to the True Qi Realm Seventh Layer.

He had broken through the first great barrier: the Divine Treasure of the Heart!

With the Heart Divine Organ breached, his heart’s vitality surged by more than tenfold.

With each beat, blood surged through his body, and a brilliant layer of light manifested within his heart.

This layer of light was a protective ward formed upon breaching the Heart Divine Organ, allowing the heart to withstand terrifying levels of power and greatly enhancing its vitality.

Fang Xing’s eyes remained tightly shut, motionless as a monk in deep meditation.

Breaking into the True Qi Realm Seventh Layer and entering the Late Stage of True Qi Realm was all within his expectations.

The breakthrough of his Red Fire Divine Skill—that was his primary focus.

The Longevity Technique operated automatically, allowing Fang Xing to concentrate entirely on the Red Fire Divine Skill’s breakthrough.

He was almost completely numb to the relentless searing of the flames.

By absorbing the Power of Red Fire from the Essence, his Red Fire Divine Skill had made clear progress, but he still hadn’t broken through the stage.

The Nine Refinements of Red Fire!

It was a process that would completely smelt his Flesh Body and even his spirit, allowing him to be reborn from the ashes!

In nearly a full day, Fang Xing had only completed seven rounds of Red Fire Body Refining.

’Two more to go!’

The Nine Refinements of Red Fire had to be completed in a single session. Even failing on the final refinement meant total failure.

If that happened, he would be doomed to eternally suffer the pain of his heart’s meridians being incinerated.

Time flowed on.

In the blink of an eye, the second day arrived.

The morning sun rose, scattering the dawn’s light.

Inside the Training Room, Fang Xing was still cultivating in the same posture. Amid the azure flames surrounding him, a wisp of red fire appeared.

Like a wildfire sweeping across a prairie, the red flame instantly engulfed his entire body.

In that moment, Fang Xing was completely enveloped in flames as red as blood.

Extreme Red Flame!

’Success!’

Streams of Flame Power swept over him, his flesh and blood transforming entirely into fire.

Within a dozen breaths, his body had become pure red flame.
