Ye Xiao once again started devouring. The spirit energy that he devoured once again started to run havoc inside his body.

Within his body, his meridians were unceasingly being tempered. For a moment, every inch of Ye Xiao's flesh and blood felt as though it was being permeated by the Godly light.

A strong sense of enlightenment slowly surfaced in his heart.

"This feeling... This is the feeling! "

In his heart, Ye Xiao howled in madness.

He suddenly grabbed onto the feeling of this spirit light flashing by, channelled all the strength in his body, and ruthlessly shot towards the shackle!

"Boom!"

That shackle was akin to a gigantic door, unceasingly releasing terrifying barriers in the face of Ye Xiao's attacks. A thunderous boom rang out.

Ye Xiao returned empty-handed.

However, he was not discouraged. Instead, he chose to continue his collision.

"Rumble!"

After a series of explosions, the gateways like shackles finally began to gradually loosen up. However, after such a powerful explosion, traces of blood had once again seeped out from the corners of Ye Xiao's mouth. At this moment, all the muscles on Ye Xiao's body were split open and blood was flowing out.

More and more blood was flowing out of Ye Xiao's body.

However, at this time, a powerful aura was suddenly released from Ye Xiao's body. This aura overflowed into the heavens like a mountain or a sea. It was as though mountains were collapsing and the earth cracking as it forcefully swirled up.

"Boom!"

A very strange but terrifying light burst forth from Ye Xiao's torn flesh. That terrifying light, carried along with it a sacred yet majestic fluctuation.

Within Ye Xiao's body, the energy that contained an inexhaustible might started to fuse together. Under Ye Xiao's control, the energy carried an unparalleled force as it ruthlessly slashed through the air, rushing towards the gate-like shackles.

"Bang!"

This was the full power of his attack.

Ye Xiao's body instantly trembled violently.

An indescribable feeling crazily spread throughout his body.

The sea was wide, the fish leaping through the air, the sky was high and the birds were flying.

This was what Ye Xiao felt. Waves of energy began to fill up as the shackles were broken apart.

"Break it for me!" Ye Xiao howled in his heart.

Instantly, terrifying explosions rang out from the depths of his dantian.

Ye Xiao's speed of circulating the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique became faster and faster.

This time, Ye Xiao felt that not only can he breakthrough to the Fifth Stage of the Origin Core Realm, he can also cultivate the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.

Suddenly, the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon within his sea of consciousness roared as a gigantic illusory shadow of a dragon appeared behind Ye Xiao's back out of thin air. Right now, the illusory dragon of the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon was even more terrifying than before.

Within his body, there was the purest dragon's might. As he howled at the sky, one could even see the trembling of space.

The originally tranquil depths of the cavern instantly transformed into a terrifying storm. With Ye Xiao as the center, it began to spread out.

Fifth Stage of Origin Core!

The shackles of the Fifth Stage of Origin Core Realm had finally been broken by Ye Xiao.

The fourth corpse of the Fifth Grade Magical Beast which was also the last one left finally turned into a completely dried up corpse.

Ye Xiao finally achieved what he wanted to.

After which, the spirit energy in the surroundings seemed to be unable to restrain him any longer. All of the spirit energy in this space was forcibly devoured and absorbed into Ye Xiao's body.

The spirit energy within his body began to be continuously urged forward with an increasing speed. As his strength increased, a mysterious seal formed at the center of his brow.

It was flashing with intense light.

The illusory shadow of the dragon suddenly flew up in the sky then after flying for twenty breaths of time, it directly flew toward the mysterious seal that appeared in the middle of Ye Xiao's brows.

A very intense light suddenly flashed and the shadow of the dragon directly merged with it. When the light vanished, a dragon-shaped imprint appeared on Ye Xiao's forehead.

Whoosh!

Finally, after half another week of cultivation. Ye Xiao's opened his eyes.

At this moment, his eyes were emitting a sparkling and translucent brilliance, as deep as the universe. His entire body seemed to be covered by the light wind.

"Finally, I have cultivated the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique to the peak!"

Ye Xiao muttered in a low voice but once could easily feel the excitement he was feeling through his words.

"Although the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique is cultivated to peak by me, I am feeling that I'm still a distance away from the Second Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique. I am also feeling that it is because of my cultivation."

"I have a feeling that as long as I can make a breakthrough and become a martial artist at the Martial King Realm, some major change will happen with the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique, and only after that change can I start cultivating the Second Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique." Ye Xiao thought in his heart.

Anyway, he was very excited at this moment. He finally made progress not only in his cultivation but also in his cultivation technique.

"Ahh!"

When Ye Xiao tried to stand up, he groaned in pain. Only now he noticed that his entire body was covered in blood. There were many wounds on his body.

"Is it because I forcefully made a breakthrough to the Fifth Stage of the Origin Core Realm?"

Ye Xiao took a long breath.

"Woosh!"

Ye Xiao once again entered the Heavenly Pearl and appeared in the beautiful Grassland. He plucked out three Jade Lotus at once and swallowed all three of them together then he started circulating his cultivation technique.

Not long after that, all the wounds on his body healed. Although his wounds were healed, his body was still covered in blood so he immediately walked out from this secret place through the dark tunnel and cleaned his body in the river.

After Ye Xiao cleaned his body, he took out a set of clothes from his spatial ring and wore it, then he once again returned to the secret place.

After returning here, he once again entered the Heavenly Pearl and without wasting any time, he went to the Nine Dragon Pagoda and immediately appeared on its first floor.

"Now, let's cultivate the First Level of the Myriad Fire Image Technique and create four more fire clones."

Ye Xiao started cultivating the Myriad Fire Image Technique.

Hours passed and became a day, days passed and became a week.

Soon two more weeks passed by and on this day, Ye Xiao opened his eyes once again. In front of Ye Xiao, five fire clones were standing, waiting for Ye Xiao's orders.

"After entire two weeks, I finally cultivated the first level of the Myriad Fire Image Technique. It is quite difficult to create fire clones. Looks like if I want to cultivate the second level of this technique, it will take me months. It fortunate that there is a Nine Story Pagoda in the Heavenly Pearl and otherwise who it would have been difficult for me to increase my cultivation to at least at the Ninth Stage of Origin Core Realm and completely cultivate the first level of Myriad Fire Image Technique, making five fire clones."

Ye Xiao felt both fortunate and worry.

He was worried because he did not know if he can increase his cultivation to the Ninth Stage of the Origin Core Realm in less than one month or not.

Yes, there was only less than a month left before he has to return to the Azure Dragon Country.

His master, Grandmaster Wang gave him four months. At that time, he thought that it would be quite easy for him to increase his cultivation. He also felt that four months was quite long, he even had the confidence that he can breakthrough to the Martial King Realm in these four months but now, he did not felt so.

Breaking through to the Fifth Stage of the Origin Core Realm in more than three months was already quite difficult for him. Wanting to breakthrough to the Martial King Realm in the remaining days would be almost impossible.

Ye Xiao took a long breath and came out from the Heavenly Pearl. He looked at his surroundings and remembered that he got his hands on the Golden Brick from here.

He did not know what that Golden Brick was but he knew that it is at least a Low-Grade Mystical Rank treasure.
