Raed went to spend the night in another cave, preparing to practice alchemy, specifically to refine the Celestial Sacrifice Pills.
This time, he had fifteen corpses, including one at the eighth level of Qi Refinement, so he planned to produce many Celestial Sacrifice Pills.
He took out the materials he had bought from the alchemy pavilion and removed the corpses, setting them aside because he feared the pills might consume him.
Raed had ingredients to make the pills but worried that the fifteen corpses might not be enough, so he decided to make one pill at a time.
He melted the medicinal materials, placed them in the furnace, closed the lid, and controlled it with his spirit. After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, a black pill emerged.
At the moment the pill emerged, a vortex appeared with a terrifying suction force, but Raed was prepared and threw a fifth-level corpse at the pill.
In the next moment, the corpse was drawn into the pill, and the vortex absorbed it. There was a sound of cracking and shattering, and only some ash emerged from the black vortex, consisting of the impurities from the corpse and its clothing that had burned to ash.
The strength of the vortex and its swallowing power increased. Raed threw another fifth-level corpse, and it was immediately swallowed by the vortex. He then threw in the third corpse; after it was swallowed, a black crust fell off the pill, revealing a crimson pill with strange black runes similar to those on the Celestial Sacrifice Gate.
".....What a terrifying sight. This is truly an evil pill... What kind of power will awaken from the Celestial Sacrifice Gate?!..."
It was indeed frightening, and the runes on the pill were only a part of those on the Celestial Sacrifice Gate.
But the most similar thing between them was that Raed couldn't understand any of those runes, not even from his memories.
Raed repeated the process twice, using up six fifth-level corpses and two sixth-level corpses.
".....I need three fifth-level corpses to refine one pill and two seventh-level corpses to refine a Celestial Sacrifice Pill. What about the seventh level...."
He refined a pill and placed a seventh-level corpse, but the pill wasn't enough, so he threw in another one, and it swallowed half of it. He then refined another pill and used the corpse and the remaining half of the seventh-level corpse.
Then he tried the eighth level, throwing in the only corpse he had, and it seemed to be enough. Now he had six Celestial Sacrifice Pills and three third-level corpses.
"....I have ingredients for one more pill and will save the corpse for next time..."
After finishing the seven pills, he placed the corpse and the alchemy furnace into his storage bag, then sat down and adjusted his state to consume the pills.
He first took a Soul Recovery Pill because his spirit was completely exhausted from practicing alchemy.
Raed then began consuming the Celestial Sacrifice Pills, taking three at once because his body had become stronger and he also had experience.
He immediately practiced the Tyrant Celestial Emperor Technique and guided his right fist to a small opening where a vortex emerged and was absorbed directly.
Raed did not wait and swallowed the remaining four pills. Then, the same stellar energy emerged from the gate, accompanied by the sounds of shattering chains and a terrifying roar, as if a monster was awakening.
The same painful process occurred due to the shattering and rebuilding with tyrannical stellar energy, which strengthened his body and formed a new fifth ring around the Celestial Bead, advancing Raed to the fifth level of Qi Refinement.
"....Good, I've advanced again and my body is stronger too. I think I'm invincible under the Blood Refinement Realm, but I can't fight those of the Blood Refinement Realm...."
Raed then looked at the Celestial Sacrifice Gate and found it was opened by 20%. The barrier appeared again, but some energy was still leaking out and connecting through the meridians to the rings, continuously strengthening his body.
"....I'm really looking forward to the power that will emerge after opening the Celestial Sacrifice Gate. I hope it will be a deadly offensive ability. In reality, the awakened ability varies from person to person."
"Although the Chaos Body is rare, it definitely exists in different species like the Chaos Dragon and others. But do they practice the Tyrant Celestial Emperor Technique like me?...."
