138: Innate Dao Body

"This 'Endless Body Tempering' trial is an Opportunity granted to all Prodigies."

The ancient voice echoed in the Void Realm: "The stone platforms you stand on are equipped with protective barriers, and outside these barriers, Void Realm energy for Body Tempering will surge.

You may venture outside the protective barriers to absorb this Void Realm energy for Body Tempering; how long you can persist and how much you can absorb depends entirely on your own fortune.

However, remember one thing: give it your all and fight with your life, for only then will you live up to this Opportunity!"

"This Body Tempering Opportunity will last for forty-eight hours. After forty-eight hours, rankings will be based on the growth value of your Physique combat power, and 90% of the Trial Participants will be eliminated in this round! Now — begin!"

As the voice of the Heavenly Monument fell, trillions of Prodigies moved simultaneously.

Lin Yuan saw a Martial Artist carrying two swords on a nearby stone platform scream the moment he stepped out of the protective barrier — his skin began to crack at a visible rate, and he hurriedly retreated back inside.

Lin Yuan did not rush to act; he observed the situation of the Martial Artists on the platforms further away.

He saw the Martial Artists on those stone platforms tentatively stepping out of the protective barriers: some changed expressions immediately upon touching the silver-gray mist and hurriedly retreated; some gritted their teeth and persisted for a few breaths, only for their entire bodies to start cracking; but a few were able to stand calmly in the mist, with various rays of light emanating from their bodies.

"It seems this silver-gray mist is not an Opportunity that everyone can enjoy," Lin Yuan chuckled and stepped out of the protective barrier without hesitation.

In an instant, the silver-gray energy surged like a tide.

Lin Yuan felt a needle-like pain on every inch of his skin, and his muscles and bones felt as if they were being cut by countless tiny blades.

But instead of being alarmed, he was delighted — this was exactly the manifestation of Body Tempering energy reshaping his Physique.

"Great Void Body, activate!"

Lin Yuan gave a low shout, and mysterious pale golden patterns immediately appeared on his skin.

These patterns moved like living creatures, guiding and transforming the Void Realm energy invading his body.

The pain gradually lessened, replaced by a strange sense of comfort, as if parched earth were receiving sweet rain.

"So this is the tempering effect?" Lin Yuan felt the process of energy penetrating his muscles and bones, "It's much gentler than expected."

He simply sat cross-legged in the Void Realm and began to operate his Eternal Evolution Body with all his might.

The surrounding energy began to form a vortex, rushing towards him as the center.

He could clearly feel his Great Void Body undergoing subtle changes — his muscle fibers were becoming tougher, his bone density was constantly increasing, and even his blood began to emit a faint golden glow.

On a distant stone platform, several Prodigies with Divine Physiques were looking over in shock:

"Who is that person? To think he can directly absorb Void Realm energy!"

"My Profound Ice Divine Physique can only last for a minute at most before I have to return to the protective barrier to rest..."

"Looking at his absorption speed, he must at least have a top-tier Divine Physique!"

Lin Yuan turned a deaf ear to these discussions.

He discovered that his internal Great Void Body was undergoing subtle changes — those golden patterns were becoming clearer, as if they were reorganizing and evolving.

Time passed minute by minute.

Lin Yuan was completely immersed in the pleasure of Body Tempering, forgetting the passage of time.

It was not until a sudden, sharp pain struck that he was jolted awake.

"Have I reached my limit?" Lin Yuan frowned and looked inward, discovering that the energy in his body was approaching saturation.

He decisively retreated back into the protective barrier and began to regulate his breath to digest it.

Inside the protective barrier, Lin Yuan closed his eyes and focused.

Under the influence of the Eternal Evolution Body, the Void Realm energy in his body was bit by bit transformed into pure life essence, nourishing every inch of his flesh and blood.

He could feel the Awakening degree of his Great Void Body steadily increasing.

Ten minutes later, Lin Yuan stepped out of the protective barrier again.

This time, he was no longer satisfied with passive absorption but began to try to actively devour this energy.

"The true ability of the Eternal Evolution Body is eternal, unchanging evolution!" Lin Yuan realized in his heart, "Since that is the case, why not be bold and give it a try?"

He exerted the full power of the Eternal Evolution within his body, and the golden patterns on his skin suddenly became bright, forming tiny vortexes.

These vortexes, like countless greedy little mouths, began to madly devour the surrounding Void Realm energy.

A shocking scene occurred — with Lin Yuan as the center, the silver-gray energy formed a huge vortex with a diameter of a hundred zhang.

This vortex spun faster and faster, eventually forming an energy tornado in the Void Realm!

"What... is going on?"

"Oh my god, he is devouring the Void Realm energy!"

"How is this possible?"

The surrounding Trial Participants looked over one after another, their faces filled with shock.

Even the few Prodigies in the distance who obviously possessed special Physiques showed expressions of disbelief.

Lin Yuan was completely unaware of all this.

He was completely immersed in the pleasure of evolution.

With the influx of massive amounts of energy, his Great Void Body began to undergo a qualitative change, and brand-new power began to gestate within his flesh and bones.

At this moment, Lin Yuan had entered a deep state of Body Tempering.

He was surprised to find that not only was his Great Void Body evolving, but the chaos heavenly extreme sword was also trembling within his body, absorbing the pure energy that had been filtered.

Suddenly, an unprecedented, sharp pain struck!

Lin Yuan opened his eyes abruptly and found that the golden patterns on his skin were cracking and reorganizing.

In an instant, all the gold patterns on his skin shattered, turning into specks of starlight and re-condensing.

The new patterns appeared a faint purple, containing an ethereal aura.

The surrounding Void Realm energy was crazily extracted, forming a huge vortex with a diameter of a thousand meters in the Void Realm!

"That is... Innate Dao Body?!" Countless Prodigies exclaimed in shock.

"Are you kidding me? That's the Innate Dao Body, known as the closest to the Origin of the Great Dao?"

[Eternal Evolution Body Promoted]

Great Void Body → Innate Dao Body 1%

And at this time, only three hours had passed in the trial.

"Continue." A faint purple light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes, and the black hole vortex around his body expanded again, "Let me see where the limit of this body is."

As the devouring continued, he noticed a startling phenomenon — the vast majority of the absorbed Void Realm energy was tempering his newly born Innate Dao Body, while a portion of the remainder was devoured and absorbed by the chaos heavenly extreme sword, and another part was actually converted into pure Soul Power, nourishing the supreme soul seed within his body!

This was the ability of the newly generated Innate Dao Body, which could actually convert Body Tempering energy into a portion of energy to nourish the Divine Soul!

When the trial reached the forty-seventh hour, the Awakening degree of Lin Yuan's Innate Dao Body had reached 5%, and it had already formed an absolute Domain with a diameter of a thousand meters — any Void Realm energy that entered this range would be instantly devoured.

"That's about enough." Lin Yuan felt the surging power within his body and finally retreated back into the protective barrier, "It's time to let my body adapt to the newly acquired power."

Lin Yuan stood on the stone platform, feeling the surging power within his body.

Now, his physical strength alone was enough to crush the vast majority of Feather Transformation Realm Martial Artists.

He looked at the updated data panel:

[Realm: Myriad Laws Realm Peak]

[supreme soul seed · Origin: 21 million Soul Power units]

[Chaos Dharma Body (Supreme Grade): 5 million Feather]

[chaos heavenly extreme sword (Origin Magical Artifact): 500,000 Feather]

[chaos heavenly evolution robe (Origin Magical Artifact): 200,000 Feather]

[Primordial Dao Body (20%): 100,000 Feather]

[Eternal Evolution Body (Innate Dao Body 5%): 5 million Feather]

[Total combat power bonus from four major Origin Laws: 1.9 million Feather]

[Total combat power: 12.7 million Feather]

"That's about enough." Lin Yuan felt the surging power within his body and finally retreated back into the protective barrier, "It's time to let my body adapt to the newly acquired power."
