The ancient body-refining technique, the Emperor Physique — this was the battle physique that Xiao Chen had cultivated. In fact, this wasn't just a saying. Throughout the long history of the human race, there were several martial artists who had cultivated the Emperor Physique.
The Emperor Physique could shatter heaven and earth with their fists. Just by relying on the strength of the Emperor Physique, they could tear the sky apart and destroy the world!
Among them, the most famous was the Battle Emperor of the human race. He was a human emperor who cultivated the ancient body-refining technique. On the day he became an emperor, his Emperor Physique could reach a height of 108,000 feet and reach into the clouds.
From the Human Realm, he could punch through the void, shatter the void, and punch into the small world of the demon race across the endless void, severely injuring the Purple Moon Demonic Emperor of the demon race.
At that time, the Battle Emperor had just attained the Emperor Physique, while the Purple Moon Demonic Emperor of the demon race had been an emperor for countless years!
Of course, the Emperor Physique was much more difficult than the Emperor Physique. It was even more difficult for Xiao Chen to cultivate both Battle Qi and the body at the same time!
Firstly, the King's Five Steps, the Heavenly Stairway, the Sea of Battle Qi, the Nirvana of the Body, the Nirvana of the Soul, and the Divine Bridge of Laws were all derived from the cultivation of Battle Qi. After all, in the Wasteland, 99% of the human race martial artists cultivated Battle Qi.
As for the martial artists who cultivated the Emperor Physique, the process of the King's Path was very different. Although the starting point of cultivating the body was very low, it could be said that if one could continuously temper the body, one's life level wouldn't be limited by the Heavenly Stairway.
A low starting point didn't require talent, but it was extremely difficult to walk to the end!
Laying the foundation of the body, the Towering Battle Body, the Nirvana of the Body, the Nirvana of the Soul, and the Divine Bridge of Laws!
These were the tribulations that martial artists who cultivated the Dao of the body had to go through when going through the King's Five Steps. The Battle Body cultivated the blood and bones, flesh, and blood Qi!
In fact, only the first two steps were different. It was just that martial artists in different cultivation directions focused on different things!
Take the Battle Qi Sea as an example. Martial artists who cultivated the Battle Body did not cultivate the Zhou Tian Qi Sea, so how could they form the Sea of Qi?
Hence, there was another step here — the Heaven Supporting War Body. Take Xiao Chen as an example. Now that he had reached the Eighth Heaven Layer of the Golden War Body, his Golden War Body was 890 meters tall. When he reached the Consummation Ninth Heaven Layer, his Golden War Body would be three hundred meters tall.
The cultivation of battle qi was to expand the qi sea of Zhou Tian; the cultivation of battle body was to raise the height of the battle body; however, it was still very dangerous to raise the height of the battle body. If one didn't have a sufficient foundation, when facing the catastrophe of the Heavens Supporting Battle Body, one's battle body would be torn apart and die!
Martial artists who cultivated the Dao of the body could also comprehend the Laws and strengthen their own bodies. This was because to a Battle Body martial artist, their own bodies were the most powerful weapons!
As for Xiao Chen who cultivated battle qi and battle body at the same time, the road to becoming a king was naturally more difficult. If he wanted to gain great strength, he had to pay a higher price!
However, he didn't need to lay the foundation of the body. He had cultivated the Golden Battle Body and tempered his body with the chaotic airflow, so he already had a perfect foundation.
As for the nirvana of the body, because he had obtained a piece of purple gold by chance, he had entered the state of nirvana in advance. Of course, this was just the beginning.
Therefore, Xiao Chen's road to becoming a king was two more steps than other martial artists.
The Sky Stairway lit up the martial path light.
The sea of battle qi opened up the vast qi sea.
The towering body turned into a towering giant.
The nirvana of the body comprehended life and death.
The soul reincarnated and comprehended the true meaning of life.
The Divine Bridge of Laws poured into the soul to forge immortality!
King's Six Steps!
This was a tribulation that combined the battle body and battle qi. Moreover, unlike other martial artists who focused on different aspects, the tribulation that Xiao Chen was going to experience required him to go all out in every step. This was because, for him, the advancement of the battle body and battle qi at the same time was the source of his combat strength!
Rumble!
Above Xiao Chen's head, the grayish-white airflow began to form an airflow vortex that was several feet in size. The chaotic airflow was the mother of all qi in the world. Although it was a gas, it was extremely heavy.
The chaotic airflow formed a vortex that was several feet in size and flowed backward. However, the speed at which Xiao Chen absorbed it wasn't fast. It could even be said to be negligible!
Ever since the last time he forged his battle body, he had been rewarded by the human race's luck when he won the Blood Battle of Providence. The chaotic airflow descended and allowed Xiao Chen to advance to the eighth level of the Golden Battle Body.
In the past few years, Xiao Chen hadn't absorbed any chaotic airflow.
It wasn't that he couldn't absorb other spiritual energy resources to advance his battle body, but Xiao Chen had done it deliberately.
The blood energy transformed from other resources could be stored in the Blood Element Diamond for occasional needs. However, it couldn't be used to improve his strength or to derive the Blood Element Diamond from the flesh and blood that had yet to be completely transformed!
If he absorbed other resources to temper his battle body, it would cause the battle body that Xiao Chen had forged with the chaotic airflow to fail!
Rumble!
The strands of chaotic airflow were devoured by Xiao Chen. At the same time, the blood energy in Xiao Chen's body rumbled like thunder. However, there was a bright red blood energy being expelled from his body.
This was the pure blood energy stored in the Blood Element Diamond in his body. To put it bluntly, this blood energy was enough to create dozens of Venerables. However, it was all expelled by Xiao Chen without hesitation!
The captivating red crystals in his body were crystal clear, with distinct edges and corners. They emitted a precious light. As the pure blood energy flowed out, they gradually changed from the color of blood to the color of colorful light.
Previously, the blood energy had covered the original color of the Blood Element Diamond. The chaotic airflow was the origin of all the energy in the world.
Although it was gray when gathered together, it was actually formed by the combination of colorful colors. After fusing with Xiao Chen's flesh and blood to form the Blood Element Diamond, it naturally had a colorful divine brilliance!
Finally, all the blood energy in the crystal that was formed from 80% of Xiao Chen's flesh and blood was expelled. Xiao Chen was ready to start tempering his battle body again!
Buzz! Buzz!
The chaotic airflow vortex above his head flowed backward. Strands of chaotic airflow began to be quickly swallowed by Xiao Chen. The violent chaotic airflow poured into Xiao Chen's body. Suddenly, his whole body was like the Ninth Heaven's thunder, erupting with a roar like the roar of a vast ocean.
The chaotic airflow was like a gray dragon, raging in his body. Xiao Chen operated the secret technique of the Golden Battle Body and began to ease the chaotic airflow into the empty blood crystal.
The blood crystal that had expelled the blood energy became full again. Mysterious lines appeared on it, exuding a divine brilliance. All kinds of divine brilliance intertwined with each other!
The reason why Xiao Chen did not directly improve the cultivation of his battle body, but expelled the blood energy that had already been refined into his body. It was because he wanted to cultivate the Golden Battle Body to perfection in one go.
Therefore, he did not want to fail because of a little negligence. The Golden Battle Body had reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer. It was already the Ninth Heavenly Layer Perfection. At this time, it was about to usher in an important transformation.
The transformation of the fleshly body from the Blood Essence Battle Body to the Eternal Battle Body!
What was Eternal Essence? It was eternal as one. No matter how one's battle form changed, no matter how big or small, their battle prowess would remain the same!
Although the Blood Qi stored in the Blood Origin Diamond wouldn't be used to temper one's body, how could it compare to the purity and miraculousness of the chaotic airflow?
Rumble!
At this moment, Xiao Chen had completely transformed into a devouring beast, devouring the chaos energy streams around him. His entire body was like a bottomless pit.
In the entire Deserted World, there were no other fluctuations except for the sounds made by Xiao Chen. It was silent throughout the ages as if waiting for something!
Desolate Border Region.
Ever since Xiao Chen left, nothing major had happened. Everything was as usual. Although there would occasionally be some strange races wreaking havoc, or some strange beasts appearing from the depths of the Desolate Ancient Forest to wreak havoc on the human combat divisions, it was just some small skirmishes. They wouldn't cause any disturbances in the Desolate Border Region!
Gu Yuan Tribe.
Mu Qing and Pinghua sat opposite each other under the Thunder Tribulation Spiritual Wood. On the purple-gold Thunder Tribulation Spiritual Wood, specks of silver light sprinkled down and rustled from time to time.
There were Thunder Tribulation Spiritual Leaves in the shape of various exotic beasts hanging on the tree trunk. Moreover, the Thunder Tribulation Spiritual Tree had already reached the stage of maturity under the nurturing of the Gu Yuan Tribe. The Thunder Tribulation Spiritual Leaves that it nurtured were of great help even to Almighties above the Venerable Realm.
