Douluo Dalu 5: Rebirth Of Tang San

The Mysterious Heaven Technique’s vortex operated continuously and steadily within him as Tang San gradually suppressed the bloodline imprints inside his body. Meanwhile, the bottleneck began to loosen under the relentless surge of power, and the gateway to the seventh order slowly opened.

Sitting beside Tang San, Zhang Haoxuan could distinctly feel the aura within his pupil; although not as vast in quantity as his own, this energy was circulating endlessly, vibrant and somehow apparently inexhaustible.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth drawn by the Spirit Summoning Array was almost entirely absorbed by Tang San now. The nearby Golden Saplings also emitted a distinct golden halo, and the life energy that they generated was drawn to Tang San in what seemed like a very natural process.

Boom—

Zhang Haoxuan felt like something had exploded within his consciousness. In front of him, Tang San suddenly radiated bright white light; a dense halo enveloped his body, illuminating everything around him down to the finest detail.

This white light rapidly swirled around his body, forming a white vortex. The funnel-shaped vortex spun swiftly, accelerating the spiritual energy in the air toward him.

The Spirit Summoning Array hadn’t been active for all that long, so the scale on which it operated hadn’t grown by much. At this moment, however, the speed of gathering spiritual energy significantly surged, as if Tang San himself had become a massive Spirit Summoning Array.

A terrifying stream of energy flowed through the air, as Tang San's aura began to undergo significant changes. His skeleton emitted soft crackling sounds, and though his entire body was shivering, his back was ever straighter.

The fluctuation of his energy intensified, and his skin turned red due to the concentration of energy. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth swarmed into him, continuously pouring into his body, transforming it to become stronger and more resilient.

A faint smile appeared on Tang San's face as he sat there with his hands clasped in front of his chest. He clearly felt his cultivation rising, despite the turmoil within his body. And with the breakthrough to the seventh order of the Mysterious Heaven Technique, it felt as if his entire body was swelling—the state of his body was changing.

The energy vortex outside sped up, reflecting the speed of the vortex inside. A speck of light began to coalesce within his dantian.

The cultivation in this life differed from his previous one, yet many aspects converged, especially since he continued cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Technique.

Although in this life, it was not the power of the martial soul but the bloodline power of the Demonic God Transformation, he still centered his practice around the Mysterious Heaven Technique. Under his control, the vortex sped up even more and the energy within it gradually compressed inward. At the same time, his energy circulated throughout his body, nourishing his flesh, bones, and meridians.

To withstand higher levels of the Demonic God Transformation, it was essential to ensure his body had the capacity to endure the sheer energy. Enhancing his physical strength was crucial, just as important as his capacity to control the bloodline imprints and the abilities they granted him.

Just like the seventh order of the Demonic God Transformation, the seventh order of the Mysterious Heaven Technique also represented a significant threshold; only upon reaching this realm could the characteristic of endless vitality genuinely be manifested.

As the energy continued to compress inward, the spark of light at the center of the vortex shone brighter and brighter. Finally, as the dense energy around it converged into it, that light turned solid.

It was a diamond-shaped crystal that was slowly rotating. Initially, it was only the size of a pinhead, but as Tang San absorbed more and more power from the outside, its volume gradually increased. As if finding an outlet, the surging energy within Tang San began to rush into it wildly.

In his previous life, Tang San called this the soul core—the core formed by cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Technique. With this core, energy could flow endlessly within him and be ever-renewing. The soul core formed a cycle; it was able to generate energy on its own, but also continuously absorb energy from the surroundings, converting it into life energy and the energy of the Mysterious Heaven Technique, continuously enhancing itself.

After breaking through to the seventh order, Tang San would possess greater endurance in combat, and at the same time, his cultivation efforts would be doubly effective.

At this moment, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth drawn from the outside world was being absorbed into his dantian at a ridiculous speed, slowly making the newly formed soul core more cohesive and stable.

This process was crucial and had to be flawless. It was the foundation for his future breakthrough to the god level.

Tang San completed this process with practiced ease. The soul core within his dantian gradually expanded to the size of a thumb before ceasing to grow any larger. Then, it slowly became more translucent and, at the same time, more solid.

The energy flow surrounding it also stabilized; energy continuously merged into it, but at the same time, it also emanated energy that joined the flow. A perfect cycle began to form.

This cycle perpetuated itself, and thanks to it, Tang San’s cultivation could become autonomous. In other words, the soul core allowed him to cultivate even faster.

Inside the dantian, around the soul core, several orbs of light had also emerged—his bloodline imprints. Each of these orbs represented a type of Demonic God Transformation, each a unique and powerful force. This power could merge into his bloodline, becoming his own power as needed, and also represented the abilities that allowed him to blend in with this world.

Tang San did not touch these orbs of light for now. The priority was to stabilize the soul core and reinforce his physique, enhancing his body's capacity to endure. Only then would he enhance each of these bloodline imprints, aligning the advancement of his cultivation with each specific Demonic God Transformation.

Today's breakthrough could be regarded as the most important one since his arrival in this world. After this evolution, he could be said to have a certain self-protective ability, making it very difficult for someone below the level of a God King to kill him.

While absorbing Mei Gongzi's bloodline power, he had already anticipated that he might be unable to suppress it, since he was already nearing a breakthrough anyway.

Sitting beside the Golden Saplings allowed him to leverage the Spirit Summoning Array to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth while also absorbing the life essence brought by the Golden Saplings to some extent. At the same time, however, his breakthrough assisted the Spirit Summoning Array in drawing in even more vast energy, reciprocally nourishing the saplings.

The soul core gradually transitioned from an initial milky white to diamond-like clarity, and the surrounding energy turned gentle. As it slightly vibrated and fluctuated, the energy flow throughout Tang San’s entire body accelerated significantly.

A layer of white misty aura emanated from Tang San's entire body, enveloping him.

Zhang Haoxuan, who had been attentively observing, could naturally sense the energy bursting within Tang San. It was extremely pure and robust, and it emanated a balanced and peaceful aura. It was much more tranquil and richer than the usual Demonic God Transformation energy. Once the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was attracted, it naturally merged into it, becoming a part of it. During the enhancement process, it induced changes, seemingly refining Tang San's body.

Hmm…. This is a breakthrough to the seventh order, but it’s different from any other seventh-order breakthrough I’ve ever seen. The energy fluctuations are much stronger and denser than normal seventh-order bloodline fluctuations… In fact, they’re so powerful that they affect everything around him.

The Golden Saplings within the Spirit Summoning Array now had a faint golden halo enveloping them—it was a sign that the life energy within them was so rich that it was overflowing and dissipating in the surroundings.

This must be the energy produced using the Mysterious Heaven Technique; what a remarkable and powerful ability!
