My name is Huang Tian, ​​what the hell is this "Heaven is dead" nonsense?

Chapter 65 Five Elements and Five Symbols
Before he could fully sink into the void, Huang Tian quickly returned the two martial arts manuals and then immediately went back to his residence.

Looking at Huang Tian hurrying away, and glancing at the bright sun outside, the young clerk on the first floor said in surprise, "I thought he would stay on the second floor to look around more and choose carefully, but I didn't expect him to leave so soon today..."

No one paid any attention to the young clerk's minor curiosity. Huang Tian returned to his residence and took two Blood Clotting Pills.

The Blood-Coagulating Pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, yet it rushed into his body like boiling magma.

boom! !

Like a volcanic eruption, the incomparably violent medicinal power exploded, and the boiling blood and qi surged wildly through the body like thousands of runaway horses!
Intense pain struck, and blood vessels twisted and bulged like writhing dragons. It felt as if the blood in the body was being scalded in a furnace, so hot that it was almost evaporated. Huang Tian could hear the sound of blood and qi surging through the meridians and blood vessels, like a river bursting its banks, unstoppable!
However, the pain did not make him frown at all. He moved slightly and slowly assumed a fighting stance.

The frame, resembling a dragon, a snake, an ape, a tiger, a crane... dozens of different "elephants" emerged as Huang Tian slowly moved.

His breathing was extremely heavy and deep, and his movements seemed to slow down several times over, making it very uncomfortable to watch. Yet, under such slow movements, the unruly blood and qi in his body were gradually tamed and flowed throughout his body under the guidance of his will.

Hehe~

A strong gust of wind whipped Huang Tian’s long hair, making it fly wildly. He paused for a moment, then moved faster and faster, whipping the air with a series of loud cracking sounds.

Fists, palms, legs...

He used different martial arts techniques, and gradually, the dozens or even hundreds of "images" disappeared, leaving only five images that quietly merged together.

Huang Tian bent slightly, his right hand reaching out like a venomous snake, emitting a sharp whistle that sent chills down everyone's spine.

"snake!"

He muttered something to himself, then changed his move, lowered his waist and hips, and slowly pushed out his palms in claws, exuding a powerful and imposing aura.

"Tiger!"

Then he stood on one leg, his arms outstretched like wings, as if he wanted to ride the wind and return home, his breath long and ethereal.

"crane!"

With both feet on the ground, body low to the ground, gait unpredictable, sometimes like an old ape crouching, stillness concealing movement, sometimes like a young monkey frolicking, chaos within order.

"ape!"

With his hands clasped together, his body undulated and twisted, his spine arched like a great dragon, and his twelve major tendons tightened like a bowstring. With a snap, the bowstring was released, and his palms shot out with lightning speed, creating a column of air over ten feet long with overwhelming force.

"dragon!"

"Of all the images, we extract their essence and retain the five elements..."

"But it's not perfect yet!"

These five symbols are merely the essence of various martial arts techniques in this world, with the dross removed, but they do not incorporate the profound imagery of another world.

He placed his hands on his sides, closed his eyes, and let his inspiration rise and fall like fish in a lake, creating ripples on the surface.

"The snake is flexible and unpredictable, embodying the subtle, cold, and penetrating nature of water."

"The tiger is fierce, pouncing, and unstoppable, embodying the sharpness and ruthlessness of the true meaning of metal."

"The crane, with its single leg standing firmly on the mountain, its roots as solid as a mountain, soars into the sky like thunder and clouds, embodying the true meaning of earth without being clumsy, and concealing movement within stillness."

"The ape, agile and nimble, embodies the growth and entwining of the Wood element." "The dragon, with its strength and gentleness, rise and fall, and endless transformations, embodies the violence, ascension, and rebirth of the Fire element..."

Having established the Five Elements and Five Symbols, Huang Tian casually and naturally performed moves in the room, his mind immersed in the inexplicable rhythm of his body. Gradually, the Qi and blood in his body, drawn by the Qi mechanism, began to boil violently!

puff~
An invisible barrier was breached by the dam-breaking torrent, and the qi and blood underwent a qualitative change, becoming more condensed and full of vitality, as heavy and powerful as molten mercury, flowing endlessly, and a warm feeling came from all parts of the body.

Qi and blood have undergone two transformations, and martial arts have reached the eighth rank!

However, this is not the biggest gain today.

Huang Tian discovered that with each move he made, the violent spiritual energy in the world was rapidly surging into his body.

If outsiders were to see this, they would surely be astonished, because usually only martial artists who have reached the third stage of Qi and Blood Transformation will begin to try to absorb spiritual energy in order to break through to the middle third rank.

Martial artists below the third level of Qi and Blood Transformation have not yet had their skin, flesh, tendons, and bones tempered to a certain degree. If they forcibly absorb spiritual energy, it would be tantamount to playing with fire.

Ironically, at this very moment, Huang Tian, ​​who was only at the second stage of Qi and Blood Transformation, absorbed spiritual energy. Although this violent spiritual energy impacted his bones and meridians after entering his body, he could still handle it!

His body can fully withstand the infusion of spiritual energy!
Why is this happening? What is the reason?

He quickly recalled the possibilities and soon found the most likely one: "Thunder Sound Body Tempering!"

Thunder Sound Body Tempering not only accelerated his cultivation speed in conjunction with Tiger Crane Strength, but also tempered his skin and bones at a deeper level, making his current physical strength comparable to that of a martial artist who has reached the third stage of Qi and Blood Transformation!
In other words, he is neither a seventh-grade martial artist nor not. His physical strength is no different from that of a seventh-grade martial artist, but his blood and qi power seems to be slightly inferior in quality. However, he has successfully drawn spiritual energy into his body, making him stronger than many seventh-grade martial artists.

That's really strange.

"There's no need to think about so much. Once the spiritual energy enters the body and merges with the blood and qi, true qi will be born within. And with true qi, my newly created technique, which combines insights from both worlds, can now unleash some power..."

His figure changed.

Like a snake, a spirit snake coiled in the mist!
Like a tiger, a fierce tiger roaring in the forest!
Like a crane, a crane guards the mountain!
Like an ape, a black ape plucks the moon!
Like a dragon, nine dragons appear in the clouds!
Finally, the five styles merge!

"Taking form from the Five Elements, one becomes so engrossed in the moment that one forgets the form itself. The Five Elements cycle endlessly, their movements as unpredictable as clouds, their strength as unfathomable as a dragon. Mind and intention unite, intention and qi unite, qi and strength unite!"

His eyes flashed, and suddenly he understood. The seemingly ordinary palm strike he had made underwent a natural transformation.

The five fingers are slightly closed, resembling neither claws nor palms.

With knees slightly bent as if sitting on a Qilin, elbows heavy and weighty, armpits neither crouching nor clenching.

"Roar--"

A barely audible roar rang out, and in Huang Tian's palm, crimson blood energy and shimmering true energy intertwined and surged, instantly condensing into a crimson-gold dragon about a foot long, with prominent horns and five claws on its belly!

Although small, this dragon was majestic and imposing, containing an incomparably domineering power. Huang Tian was almost certain that as long as he unleashed this crimson-gold dragon, it would be enough to blast a city wall several meters high and several meters long into ruins!
Such power far exceeds the strength of a third-grade martial artist, and even a sixth-grade martial artist cannot match it!
"By combining the martial arts and Taoist techniques of two worlds, I have finally taken the first step on my own path!"
"Hmm, let's call it the Five Elements Five Symbols Cloud Dragon Scattered Technique!"

It is:

Clouds follow the dragon's momentum, concealing the sky, breathing in the primordial chaos of the five elements.

Its claws suddenly appear, startling like lightning; hidden within, it holds nine transformations, like a rainbow.

The myriad phenomena rise and fall with the ebb and flow, yet the balance of power remains constant throughout.

Do not say that the true form is in emptiness and form; the great mystery lies beyond words!
