The medicinal pill melted upon entering his mouth, and a refreshing medicinal power instantly spread throughout his body.

Especially deep within his soul, that refreshing sensation was like a sweet rain nourishing dry earth, invigorating Fang Hong’s spirit.

The pain also lessened considerably, and he finally recovered.

Just like that, Fang Hong began a fierce contest with the Heavenly Fire.

Each time the Heavenly Fire intensified, Fang Hong’s soul would suffer more intense burning.

And each time this happened, he would immediately take a soul solidifying pill.

At the same time, he frantically activated the Immortal Qi within his body, injecting it into the Soul Nurturing Pearl above his head and the demon soul banner behind him.

He ensured the defensive capabilities of the two Immortal Artifacts were maintained as much as possible, staunchly guarding his soul and preventing the Heavenly Fire from having any chance to harm its foundation.

The soul solidifying pills dwindled one by one, and days passed.

Fang Hong remained serious, not daring to relax for a moment.

Although the process was arduous, Fang Hong’s gaze remained firm, staring intently at the Heavenly Fire high in the sky, refusing to give an inch.

Until a month later, when only eighty soul solidifying pills remained, the massive spatial rift in the sky finally began to slowly close.

The Heavenly Fire that had been pouring down also receded like a tide, eventually dissipating completely into the air.

The Heavenly Fire Tribulation was finally over.

Fang Hong slowly opened his eyes, the pressure that had accumulated in his heart for a month instantly released, and he couldn’t help but let out a loud roar towards the sky, his voice filled with excitement and exhilaration.

At this moment, the Immortal Qi within Fang Hong’s body became even more condensed, and his soul, tempered by the Heavenly Fire, became more resilient than ever before.

He had finally truly stepped into the Immortal King Realm.

After the breakthrough, Fang Hong felt as if his horizons had changed.

His eyes glowed, his gaze penetrating all obstacles, passing directly through the years pearl space, reaching the extremely high altitude.

There, Fang Hong clearly saw a faintly discernible transparent barrier.

That barrier separated the Human Realm from the Heavenly realm; this was the World Barrier connecting the two realms.

Then, Fang Hong turned his gaze towards the ground, his sight penetrating layers of rock and soil deep underground.

Soon, Fang Hong saw another similar transparent barrier, this barrier emitted a colder aura, which was the World Barrier connecting the Human Realm and the Netherworld.

A wave of excitement surged in Fang Hong’s heart; if he wished, he could easily pass through these two World Barriers at any time.

Flying to the more prosperous and powerful Heavenly realm, or escaping into Hell, was no longer an unattainable feat.

This was the power of the Immortal King Realm.

He could freely traverse between the Three Realms, no longer confined to the Human Realm.

This also meant that from now on, Fang Hong could venture into a broader world, seek new Opportunities, and pursue higher realms.

After a brief moment of excitement, Fang Hong quickly composed himself.

Now was not the time to go to the Heavenly realm; having just broken through to the Immortal King Realm, his realm was still unstable.

If he were to rashly go to the Heavenly realm and encounter strong enemies, there might be danger.

Thus, Fang Hong returned to his Immortal Cave’s secret chamber to properly stabilize his realm before venturing to the Heavenly realm for experience.

Fang Hong could not yet be considered a true Early Stage Immortal King.

The cultivation technique clearly stated that only by refining ’Dao patterns’ in each law meridian within the body could one be considered to have truly entered the Early Stage Immortal King and possess the strength befitting the Immortal King Realm.

The so-called Dao patterns are the core Cultivation direction of the Immortal King Realm.

Cultivators need to slowly transform all the Law power in their body into more advanced Dao power.

And through continuous tempering and condensation, this Dao power is materialized, eventually forming Dao patterns, which are imprinted on the law meridian.

Only by condensing Dao patterns can one wield the unique Dao Fire of the Immortal King Realm.

Using Dao Fire to temper Immortal Artifacts can cause them to undergo a qualitative change, advancing them into Dao Artifacts that contain the power of the Great Dao, with power far exceeding previous Immortal Artifacts.

When refining Immortal Pills, one can also temper the medicinal pills with Dao power, causing the Immortal Pills to transform into Dao Pills, and their efficacy will be several times better than Immortal Pills.

In the time that followed, Fang Hong quietly stayed in the secret chamber of his Immortal Cave, beginning to focus on condensing Dao patterns.

He sat cross-legged, formed hand seals, slowly closed his eyes, and poured all his mental energy into the law meridian within his body.

Operating the Ten Thousand Laws Origin Demon Art, he guided the Immortal Qi within his body, tempering the nine law meridian bit by bit, transforming the Law power into Dao power, and condensing the initial Dao patterns.

The secret chamber was silent, time passed imperceptibly, and in the blink of an eye, another three months had gone by.

On this day, Fang Hong in the secret chamber finally slowly awakened from his Cultivation state.

At this moment, the nine law meridian in Fang Hong’s body were more solid than before, and on the surface of each law meridian, there was a faint golden pattern.

These patterns, like naturally formed runes, flowed with the aura of the Great Dao.

This was the initial manifestation of Dao patterns!

Fang Hong was overjoyed; he now truly considered himself to have stepped into the Early Stage Immortal King.

This was merely the beginning; the path of Cultivation ahead was still long.

In subsequent Cultivation, he would need to continuously temper these Dao patterns with Immortal Qi, making them increasingly clear and condensed.

Ultimately reaching a state of complete materialization; only then would it be possible to approach the higher-level Immortal Emperor realm.

As for the specific Cultivation direction of the Immortal Emperor realm, Fang Hong was temporarily unaware.

After all, the Ten Thousand Laws Origin Demon Art he was currently Cultivating only extended to the peak Immortal King level.

There was no mention of the Immortal Emperor realm in the cultivation technique.

To understand the secrets of the Immortal Emperor realm, there were only two ways: either find an Immortal-Emperor-level Immortal Technique and acquire the Cultivation method from it. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Or read numerous ancient texts, searching for clues about the Immortal Emperor realm in those ancient records.

Therefore, venturing to the Heavenly realm for experience was already an imperative.

Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses rarely lingered in the Human Realm.

After all, the Immortal Qi and resources in the Human Realm were far less abundant than in the Heavenly realm and the Netherworld.

For Immortal Emperor powerhouses, the environment of the Human Realm could no longer meet their Cultivation needs, so they would generally go to the better Heavenly realm or Netherworld to develop and seek higher breakthroughs.

Thus, it would likely be difficult to find information about the Immortal Emperor realm in the Human Realm.

To understand the secrets of higher realms and improve his strength, Fang Hong had to make a trip to the Heavenly realm.

Fang Hong clenched his fists, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

The journey to the Heavenly realm was not only to find information about the Immortal Emperor realm but also to seek Opportunities in a broader world and strive to become stronger sooner.

Fang Hong gently flipped his palm, and a ball of red flame appeared out of thin air in his palm.

This flame looked ordinary, but it emitted a terrifying aura that made one’s heart palpitate.
