“Hum—”
The next moment, a seven-colored, glowing seven-story pagoda emerged from his palm on its own, floating above his head.
Suddenly, Ning Fengzhi let out a muffled groan, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
“Fengzhi!”
Gu Rong’s expression changed drastically, his withered palm thrusting out abruptly, about to forcibly interrupt him.
“Don’t move!”
Chen Xin pressed down on Gu Rong’s wrist, his gaze fixed dead on the pagoda in mid-air.
“Look at the top of the tower!”
Gu Rong looked up, his pupils instantly contracting.
He saw that above the dome of the seventh layer of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, a blinding white light was now twisting.
Infused with extremely pure energy, that ball of white light was condensing and rising at a speed visible to the naked eye, outlining the contours of flying eaves and corner pavilions.
“Breaking bones and reorganizing, Spirit metamorphosis! Fengzhi’s Spirit… is reshaping its Origin!”
Chen Xin sighed.
“Crack.”
An extremely crisp cracking sound echoed in the hearts of the three.
The Rank 79 spirit power barrier that had trapped Ning Fengzhi for many years was directly breached, and spirit power gushed out from within his body, shattering all the surrounding rosewood chairs.
At the same time, the white light at the top of the pagoda suddenly retracted.
The eighth layer, formed!
Eight layers and eight colors, the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!
“It really works!”
Gu Rong was so excited he slapped his thigh hard.
“Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Rank 80 spirit power! Fengzhi has broken through!”
Chen Xin also let out a long breath.
“Rank 80 not only means being able to attach an eighth spirit ring, but also means that support abilities have been enhanced once again!”
The amplification effect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda follows a fixed formula: number of spirit rings × 10% + 10%.
Eight spirit rings, that is a terrifying amplification of a full ninety percent!
And it is an absolute amplification that ignores the Rank of the assisted person!
Coupled with the surge in total spirit power after breaking through to Spirit Douluo, Ning Fengzhi could at least double the time he could maintain the two Super Douluo in their Peak state!
The strategic significance of this for the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is immeasurable.
“Hoo—”
Ning Fengzhi slowly opened his eyes.
He stood up abruptly, his originally refined and gentle face now filled with wild joy.
“Hahahaha!”
He laughed up at the sky, his laughter carrying twelve years of pent-up grievance and the exhilaration of breaking through realms in a single stroke.
“Congratulations, Dad, on breaking through the shackles.”
Ning Tian spoke at the right time and clapped his hands.
Ning Fengzhi strode over to Ning Tian, his hands pressing heavily on his son’s shoulders, tears even welling up in his eyes:
“Tian’er, you are the greatest contributor to the Sect! Even if you stay at Level 9 Soul Power for the rest of your life, if anyone dares to criticize you even half a word in the future, I will cripple them myself!”
“Hehe, thanks, Dad.”
Ning Tian shrugged and curled his lips, “However, it’s still a pity.”
The laughter stopped abruptly.
The three of them looked at him in unison.
“What a pity?”
Gu Rong was stunned, “Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, this is a miracle!”
“It’s a pity that Dad relying solely on this thing probably won’t allow him to rise to the Nine Treasures.”
Ning Tian sighed and reached out with a backhand pull.
Two more soul ascension pills emitting a white halo quietly lay in his palm.
The main hall fell into dead silence once again, with only three heavy, bellows-like breathing sounds.
“There are two more?!”
Ning Fengzhi’s eyeballs were almost popping out, completely losing his usual demeanor.
He had originally thought that for such a Heaven-Defying divine medicine that alters fate, having even one would already mean smoke rising from the ancestral graves.
This…
“The immortal said that eating too much of this Medicinal Pill has diminishing returns.”
Ning Tian explained leisurely, “Dad, when you eat the first one, it can elevate the pagoda by one layer, but the second and third ones will probably just purify the spirit power and build up the Foundation.”
“Here.”
Ning Tian reached his hand forward, “Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Gu, the two of you take one each and divide them.”
Chen Xin and Gu Rong stared at the two Medicinal Pills and swallowed hard.
Intuition told them that the Origin power contained within these Medicinal Pills could definitely allow them to make further progress!
But Chen Xin took half a step back and shook his head:
“No. Fengzhi, you eat it. Although the effect will be weaker, what if this medicinal power stacks and can really break through to the Nine Treasures? That is the Foundation for the Sect’s eternal prosperity!”
“Old Swordsman is right.”
Gu Rong also suppressed the desire in the depths of his eyes, “Fengzhi, you eat it!”
“Nonsense!”
Ning Fengzhi, however, rarely put on a stern face, waving his large hand and directly pushing Ning Tian’s hand toward the two of them.
“Tian’er made it clear that repeated consumption has diminishing returns.”
Ning Fengzhi’s gaze was burning.
“Furthermore, the Sect’s prestige relies on the sword and bone of my two uncles.”
“I always feel that Spirit Hall is moving frequently, and a great era is about to fall into chaos. Only when you are stronger can my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School remain invincible!”
“Eat!”
Ning Fengzhi said decisively.
The Sword and Bone pair looked at each other and no longer put on airs.
The two each picked up a soul ascension pill and tossed it into their mouths.
Boom!
Above the main hall, half the area was instantly torn apart by fierce Killing Intent.
The phantom of the Seven Kill Sword above Chen Xin’s head suddenly solidified, and the sword body turned into a pure silvery white.
As the Sword Intent flickered in and out, there was faintly a momentum to slash open the Void Realm.
In the other half of the area, space collapsed on a large scale.
The Bone Dragon behind Gu Rong roared to the sky, and a layer of substantive dark black scales actually grew out of the withered bones, and the power of space became extremely condensed.
Two vast spirit power vortices formed within the hall.
After a moment, the storm subsided.
Chen Xin opened his eyes, brought his two fingers together and slashed, the air in front of him silently split open a cut:
“I didn’t expect that this Spirit Origin purification allowed me to take the opportunity to break through my spirit power to Rank 97.”
“Rank 96.”
Gu Rong grinned and clenched his withered fingers.
For a Titled Douluo, Rank 95 is a natural chasm.
Now that the two of them have each broken through by one Rank, their combat power has increased by at least several tens of percent!
“Good!”
Ning Fengzhi clapped his hands in great praise, high-spirited and vigorous.
“When I head to the Sunset Forest to find a suitable Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beast to absorb the eighth spirit ring.”
“By then, the ninety percent all-attribute amplification plus the two of you’s current cultivation…”
Ning Fengzhi paused:
“Even if that old immortal Qian Daoliu from the Spirit Hall’s Hall of Worship personally descends the mountain, the three of us joining forces will definitely not fear him!”
“Dad, are you getting full of yourself?”
In the corner, Ning Tian picked up the teapot that had been knocked over by Ning Fengzhi earlier, poured himself a cup of water, and took a sip.
“Spirit Hall has the angel Legacy, and it’s true that Qian Daoliu is a Rank 99 Peerless Douluo, but he is a semi-divine body!”
Ning Tian smiled faintly.
“You, an eight-ringed one, plus two nine-ringed ones, what are you going to use to fight a semi-god?”
Ning Fengzhi was countered by his son, his old face turning slightly red, yet he was unable to refute.
“However…”
Ning Tian put down the teacup and flipped his wrist.
Ten fingernail-sized, pitch-black fragments hovered in front of the three of them.
“If you add this, it might be uncertain.”
“What is this again?”
Chen Xin frowned slightly.
He actually felt the age-old pressure unique to high-order Spirit Beasts from this tiny fragment?
“soul ring fragment.”
Ning Tian’s tone was relaxed, as if he were introducing a few worthless stones.
“It was also given by the immortal. The black ones, one piece can add 10,000 years of cultivation age to an already absorbed spirit ring.”
“What?!”
Ning Fengzhi’s jaw dropped slightly, and his breathing completely stagnated.
Increase the age of an already absorbed spirit ring?
And a single piece is 10,000 years?!
What is the ironclad rule of the Douluo Continent?
Once a spirit ring is absorbed, its age is completely fixed!
Now, this kid is telling them that this black stone can directly add to the age?!
“Tian’er…”
Ning Fengzhi’s voice was fluttering, “These ten pieces of yours…”
“One piece is 10,000, ten pieces are 100,000.”
Ning Tian nodded, “How to divide them, you guys decide yourselves.”
Before his words fell, Chen Xin and Gu Rong had already disappeared from where they were.
The next second, the two appeared in front of Ning Tian like tigers pouncing on food, without the slightest intention of declining.
Chen Xin snatched away three fragments in one go.
Gu Rong was not to be outdone, his large palm scooping four into his hands.
“How to use them?”
The two said in unison, their eyes turning red at this moment.
“Just fuse them directly into the spirit ring.”
Ning Tian shrugged.
Hum!
The black ninth spirit ring rose from beneath the feet of both at the same time.
Afterward, Chen Xin slapped the three black fragments into his ninth spirit ring, and Gu Rong smashed four fragments into his spirit ring.
In an instant, an extremely terrifying wave of air exploded within the main hall.
The ninth spirit ring, which was originally as deep as ink, began to glow with a strange dark red at the edges the moment it devoured the fragments.
Then, this red color spread wildly like blood dripped into water, until the entire spirit ring was completely dyed red!
The blood-red light illuminated the main hall!
A 100,000-year Soul Ring!
Chen Xin’s entire body was surrounded by Sword Qi like a rainbow, his long hair dancing wildly, and his aura surged in one breath straight to the Peak of Rank 97!
He was only one kick away from Rank 98!
The space behind Gu Rong completely shattered and reorganized, the Bone Dragon roared to the sky, and its spirit power also skyrocketed, steadily stepping into Rank 97!
Two Rank 97 Super Douluo!
Two 100,000-year Soul Rings!
Across the entire continent, aside from the three Peerless Douluo, no one else could match this terrifying lineup.
Ning Fengzhi watched the two bathing in the red light, trembling all over with excitement.
Starting today, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not only the number one support Sect in the world, but also possesses the top combat power to truly confront Spirit Hall head-on!
“Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Gu, do you feel great?”
Just as the three of them were immersed in this power sufficient to overturn the continent’s landscape, Ning Tian’s voice drifted over faintly.
He sat back down on the chair, crossed his legs, and casually tossed the remaining three black fragments in his hand.
The three of them were startled, quickly withdrawing their Spirits and spirit power.
Chen Xin and Gu Rong looked at each other, and both strode over to Ning Tian’s front at the same time.
Without saying much, the two Super Douluo who looked down upon the world uniformly bent down deeply toward Ning Tian, cupping their hands in a salute.
“Tian’er, words cannot thank you enough for this great kindness!”
“No, no, no, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Gu, you flatter me too much.”
Ning Tian quickly sidestepped to avoid it and waved his hand with a smile,
“We’re family, after all.”
“Tian’er.”
Ning Fengzhi stepped forward and spoke.
“That god you mentioned, bestowing such heavy treasures, are there any conditions?”
Ning Fengzhi was a smart man.
He knew that in this world, there was definitely no such thing as a gratuitous gift.
Could a great existence capable of casually creating a 100,000-year Soul Ring and the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda really just see that his son was a peerless genius?
Chen Xin and Gu Rong also immediately straightened their bodies, their gazes becoming sharp.
“If that Divinity requires us to pledge our allegiance, even climbing mountains of blades and descending seas of fire, this old man will definitely not decline!”
Gu Rong patted his chest.
“Indeed.”
Chen Xin gently flicked the scabbard with his finger, “A god’s command, how can we not obey?”
Ning Tian looked at the three in front of him, a curve hooking up at the corner of his mouth.
What he was waiting for was precisely these words.
“The immortal did indeed put forward a request.”
Ning Tian sighed, looking as if he was under immense pressure.
“What divine decree?”
Ning Fengzhi held his breath.
Ning Tian raised his head, his gaze sweeping across the three of them, pronouncing word by word:
“God says that my bones are extraordinary and my genes are excellent, so my Bloodline cannot be allowed to cut off. Therefore…”
“He wants me to immediately, right now, go find the top peerless Prodigy women across the entire continent, become partners, and then…”
Ning Tian paused, spreading his hands out righteously:
“Have children.”
