Chapter 992: Chapter 975: Flesh 5 Steps, King 6 Steps!

Body Refining Ancient Method, Physique for War attains emperorship—this is the War Body that Xiao Chen cultivated. In fact, this is not mere rhetoric; even among the human warriors throughout the long history of human propagation, there have been numerous Warriors who achieved a Physique for War that attains emperorship.

With a Physique for War that attains emperorship, one punch can shatter Heaven and Earth. Merely by wielding the power of the War Body, one could tear the Sky Vault asunder and burst the world!

The most renowned among them was the Battle Emperor of the human race, a sovereign who cultivated the Ancient Body Method. On the day of his ascension, his War Body transformed into a colossus tens of thousands of feet tall, reaching the clouds and towering into the sky.

With a single punch, he broke through from the earth of the Human Realm, shattered the Void, and struck directly into the Small World of an alien Demon Clan, severely wounding the Purple Moon Demon Emperor.

At that time, the Battle Emperor had just realized the Dao fruit of a Physique for War that attains emperorship, while the Demon Clan’s Purple Moon Demon Emperor had been an emperor for countless years!

Of course, achieving a Physique for War that attains emperorship is even more difficult than becoming an emperor through Combat Qi. For Xiao Chen, cultivating both Combat Qi and the physique is even more challenging!

Let’s start with the King’s Five Steps: the Multi-storied Heavenly Ladder, Sea of Qi Transformation, Body Nirvana, Soul Beyond, and Divine Bridge of Laws. These steps evolved according to Combat Qi cultivation, as on the Desolate Land above, ninety-nine percent of human warriors cultivate Combat Qi.

However, the process of one who follows the path of emperorship through the physique has significant differences. Although the starting point of Body Cultivation is low, it can be said that if one’s body is constantly tempered, the levels of life would no longer be restricted by the Martial Arts Tower.

Low starting point, no need for talent, but to reach the end is incredibly difficult!

Body Foundation Establishment, Sky-Lifting Battle Body, Body Nirvana, Soul Beyond, Divine Bridge of Laws!

These are the trials a warrior who solely cultivates the physique must endure when crossing the King’s Five Steps. The cultivation of the War Body is focused on bones and flesh—it’s all about Blood Qi!

In actuality, only the first two steps are different; it’s merely that warriors with different cultivation directions have different focuses!

Take Sea of Qi Transformation as an example: a warrior who cultivates a War Body does not cultivate the Circulating Heaven Qi Sea, so how can they transform it into a sea?

Therefore, there is another step here, Sky-Lifting Battle Body. Take Xiao Chen, for example: currently, his Golden Battle Body is at the Eight Heaven’s Realm, with a stature of eighty-nine feet. When he achieves perfection in the ninth realm of the Golden Battle Body, it will reach a hundred feet in height.

To cultivate Combat Qi is to expand the Circulating Heaven Qi Sea; to cultivate a War Body is to raise its stature. Likewise, trying to increase the height of the War Body is fraught with danger. If the foundation is insufficient, during the trial of the Sky-Lifting Battle Body, Blood Qi may not be able to sustain the elevation of Combat Qi, ultimately leading to the tearing apart and destruction of the War Body!

Warriors who follow the path of Body Cultivation can also comprehend laws and bless their own bodies, because for warriors of the War Body, their own body is their most powerful weapon!

For Xiao Chen, who cultivates both Combat Qi and the War Body, the path to becoming king is naturally even more difficult. To gain great power, one must pay an even greater price!

However, there’s no need for Body Foundation Establishment in his case; his Cultivation of the Golden Battle Body, combined with the tempering of his body with Chaotic Airflow, has already perfectly established his physique.

As for Body Nirvana, because of a chance encounter with purple and gold, he prematurely entered the state of Body Nirvana—of course, this was just the beginning.

Thus, Xiao Chen’s path to kingship involves two additional steps compared to other warriors.

Illuminate Martial arts bright lights on the Multi-storied Heavenly Ladder,

Create boundless Qi seas with the Sea of Qi Transformation,

Transform into a giant reaching into the heavens with the Heaven-Defying Body,

Comprehend the mechanism of life and death through Body Nirvana,

Perceive the true meaning of life with the Reincarnation of the Soul,

And forge undying life with the Divine Bridge of Laws!

Six Steps to Kingship!

Integrating the tribulations of both the War Body and Combat Qi, and different from the focuses of other warriors, every step of the tribulations that Xiao Chen faces requires his utmost effort. For him, advancing in unison with both the War Body and Combat Qi is the fountainhead of his battle strength!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Above Xiao Chen’s head, grayish-white airflow began to form a whirlpool several feet in size. Chaotic Airflow is the mother of all energies in Heaven and Earth; even though it’s a gas, it’s incredibly heavy.

A Chaotic Airflow whirlpool of such size pouring down, yet Xiao Chen’s absorption speed was incredibly slow—negligible, one might say!

Ever since the last time he had forged his War Body, during the final victory of the Qi Fortune Blood War, he received the blessing of human race’s Qi fortune, with Chaotic Airflow descending upon him, allowing Xiao Chen to ascend to the Stage Eight Realm of the Golden Battle Body.

Over these years, Xiao Chen had not absorbed any Chaotic Airflow.

It’s not that he couldn’t absorb other spiritual energy resources to advance his War Body realm, but Xiao Chen did so deliberately.

The Blood Qi transformed from other resources could be stored in the Blood Crystal Diamonds for emergencies, but they weren’t suitable for enhancing his strength, especially when compared with the Blood Crystal Diamonds formed from flesh regeneration that had yet to be completely transformed within his body!

Thus, reabsorbing other resources to temper his War Body would undo the work he had previously achieved with the Chaotic Airflow!

Boom!

Strands of Chaotic Airflow were devoured by Xiao Chen, while the Blood Qi inside his body roared like thunderclaps, as if expelling streams of fresh red Blood Qi from inside him.

These were the purest Blood Qi stored within the Blood Crystal Diamonds in his body. Without any reservation, these masses of Blood Qi, sufficient to create dozens of venerable powers, were expelled from Xiao Chen’s body without hesitation!

The dazzling red crystals within him were crystal clear and sharply angular, radiating a treasured glow. Accompanied by the flowing away of pure Blood Qi, they gradually changed from a sanguine hue to a scintillating variety of colors.

Previously, the original colors of the Blood Crystal Diamonds were obscured by the Blood Qi. Since Chaotic Airflow was the original source of all Primal Energy between heaven and earth.

Although it appeared grey when aggregated, it actually was a convergence of multicolored hues. The Blood Crystal Diamonds formed from the fusion of Chaotic Airflow with Xiao Chen’s flesh naturally displayed dazzling, multicolored Divine Radiance!

Finally, as the Blood Qi was expelled from the Blood Crystal Diamonds formed from eighty percent of Xiao Chen’s flesh, Xiao Chen prepared to start tempering his War Body anew!

Whirr!

The Chaotic Airflow whirlpool above his head began to pour down in reverse, as Xiao Chen rapidly devoured the strands of Chaotic Airflow. The wild Chaotic Airflow surged into his body, immediately causing his entire form to erupt with the ferocity of nine heavenly thunders, as if a vast ocean was in uproar.

The Chaotic Airflow, like grey dragons, rampaged through his body. Xiao Chen operated the secret techniques of the Golden Battle Body, beginning to soothe the turbulent flows and integrate them into the emptied Blood Diamonds.

The blood-colored crystals that had expelled their Blood Qi once again swelled with fullness, revealing mysterious patterns and emitting Divine Radiance, with a collage of radiant colors shining forth!

The reason he did not directly enhance his War Body’s cultivation but chose to expel the Blood Qi already refined into his body was that Xiao Chen wanted to achieve a flawless culmination of the Golden Battle Body in a single effort.

Hence, he did not want a slight oversight to ruin his efforts. Reaching the ninth tier of the Golden Battle Body was already at the peak of the Nine Heavens, and it was on the brink of an important transformation.

From the Blood Essence War Body to the Hengyuan War Body!

What is Hengyuan? It is eternal constancy. Regardless of how the War Body changes, whether it grows or shrinks, its combat strength would remain unwavering!

Although the Blood Qi stored in the Blood Crystal Diamonds would not be used to temper the War Body, how could it compare to the purity and wondrousness of the Chaotic Airflow!

Boom!

At this moment, Xiao Chen completely became a devouring behemoth, beginning to consume the Chaotic Airflow, his body turning into an abyss without limit.

And within the entire Desolate World, apart from the noise caused by Xiao Chen, there were no other fluctuations. It was as if time had come to a standstill, seemingly in anticipation of something!

Border Wasteland Region.

Since Xiao Chen left, nothing significant had happened. Life went on as usual; while occasional marauding by other races occurred, or exotic beasts ran amok from the depths of the Desolate Ancient Forest, ravaging the Human War Tribe, these were just minor disturbances and did not cause turbulence in the Border Wasteland Region.

Gu Yuan Tribe.

Mu Qing and Nianhua sat opposite each other, seated beneath the Thunder Tribulation Spirit Wood. The purple and gold colored Thunder Tribulation Spirit Wood above them showered down dots of Silver Light, and rustling sounds could be heard.

On the trunk hung Spirit Leaves shaped like various exotic beasts, and now, with the nurturing of the Gu Yuan Tribe, the Thunder Tribulation Spirit Wood had already reached the status of a mature tree. The Thunder Tribulation Spirit Leaves it nurtured were very beneficial, even for mighty beings above the rank of venerables.
