199: Shared Taijutsu

"Eighth Forging of the Saint Rank!"

Yuan Fei and Xiong Lie exclaimed in unison.

Their minds were a bit muddled at the moment.

To think, Lin Chen had only entered the Endless Realm eight years ago, and at that time, he was merely at the First Forging of the Saint Rank Golden Body.

How could such a monstrous talent exist in the world!

If Lin Chen had truly advanced to the Eighth Forging of the Saint Rank Golden Body, they dared not imagine what a sensation it would cause.

The Eighth Forging of the Saint Rank Golden Body represented the combat power of a Quasi-Emperor!

In Hong Country, only the three Peak Races and the Imperial Family possessed Quasi-Emperor Realm Experts.

At this moment, including Ancestor Jin, everyone was exceptionally excited.

They knew that with Lin Chen, their sect would soar to great heights!

Ancestor Jin suddenly thought of something and spoke solemnly:

"Sect Master Wu, Lin Chen's breakthrough is of great importance and should not be publicized. I have an array that can obscure the heavenly secrets. I wonder if it can be set up here..."

Wu Yang's pair of massive eyes gazed in the direction where Lin Chen was, as if he could see Lin Chen's true form at that moment.

"Good, you may set it up as you wish."

"Elder Xiong, make a trip to erase all traces of Lin Chen's visit to our sect. Announce that those youngsters must not leak a single piece of information!"

Xiong Lie nodded solemnly upon hearing this, then his figure instantly vanished... At the bottom of the pool.

At this moment, Lin Chen had completed his first Physical Body transformation, and his Physical Strength had skyrocketed to 80,000 Dragon Elephant Power!

The further the transformations progressed, the greater the increase in his Physical Strength!

Time flew, and a month later.

Lin Chen's Physical Body transformation was nearing its end; he was currently undergoing the final transformation.

"I didn't expect this half True Dragon remains to contain so much energy, and it's been dead for millions of years."

"If it were a living True Dragon, Lin Chen couldn't imagine how terrifying its energy would be..."

Lin Chen glanced at the True Dragon remains.

At this moment, the crimson energy emanating from the remains was becoming less and less.

"It should not be enough, after all, my advancement requires 3 million energy points."

"However, I still have source essence!"

Immediately, Lin Chen quickly used the system to devour and convert the 1 million source essence Yu Wanxing had given him into energy points.

Adding his previous energy points, he now possessed 1.463 million energy points.

Outside.

At this moment, the Dragon Marrow Pool was enveloped by an invisible grand array. No living being could peer into anything within the array, unless a Half-Step Emperor Realm Expert or above forcibly peered in.

However, Ancestor Jin would immediately become aware of it.

"Sect Master, why do I see the energy in this pool getting less and less? Can this kid Lin Chen succeed?"

Xiong Lie asked doubtfully. They had been waiting here for Lin Chen to break through for a month.

Wu Yang looked towards the bottom of the pool, sighed softly, and said:

"This True Dragon has been dead for millions of years. The primordial essence within its remains has been consumed for so long, it's far from what it once was..."

"This little fellow is currently stuck at the last Physical Body transformation, what a pity... Hmm?"

Wu Yang suddenly looked at the bottom of the pool in surprise.

The energy emanating from the True Dragon remains was originally insufficient to push Lin Chen's final Physical Body transformation, but at this moment, a powerful surge of energy suddenly gushed forth.

He immediately burst into laughter.

"It seems this little fellow has another fortuitous encounter, excellent, excellent!"

Xiong Lie and the others also became excited upon seeing this; they were about to witness the rise of a supreme expert!

Boom—

A dazzling golden light erupted from the bottom of the pool once more, and a terrifying aura shot into the sky, seemingly about to break through the grand array.

Ancestor Jin's expression changed drastically upon seeing this. He immediately ascended to high altitude to reinforce the array.

However, the impact of Lin Chen's breakthrough aura grew stronger and stronger. His Physical Strength was comparable to the Quasi-Emperor level. Ancestor Jin's face turned pale, and he cried out:

"Come help me!"

Immediately, Wu Yang and the others also ascended to high altitude, all exerting their strength to reinforce the array.

Finally, the powerful aura from Lin Chen's breakthrough slowly receded.

The next moment, a young man in black battle armor appeared in mid-air.

"You brat, you finally broke through. If you had been a step later, we wouldn't have been able to hold this grand array."

Xiong Lie said with a deep breath.

He looked at Lin Chen with great excitement.

Grand array?

Lin Chen's true spirit swept over and understood.

"Thank you, both masters and Ancestor Jin, for protecting my path."

"Who is this...?"

Lin Chen asked, looking at the incredibly tall figure.

"Lin Chen, this is Sect Master Wu Yang of Ba Sect. Hurry and pay your respects."

Ancestor Jin said with a smile from the side.

Lin Chen suddenly understood upon hearing this. He had heard that the Sect Master of Ba Sect was a super expert of the Giant Spirit Race. He immediately stepped forward and respectfully saluted.

"Haha, little fellow, there's no need for such formality between us. Your Golden Body is now at the Eighth Forging of the Saint Rank, one level higher than mine. To reach such a realm at such a young age, your future is limitless!"

Lin Chen smiled kindly and said:

"Senior Wu, I merely had a fortuitous encounter. This time, thanks to your sect's assistance, I was able to break through smoothly."

Wu Yang laughed heartily and said:

"Little fellow, this is all fate, no need to be polite. From now on, this is your home, come back anytime!"

Lin Chen smiled and nodded upon hearing this.

He really liked the atmosphere here; there was no scheming. The seniors he had met were all very straightforward.

Body cultivators fight with fists and flesh, emphasizing breaking all laws with a single force, very direct.

Perhaps this was the personality of the body cultivation faction... "Lin Chen, now that your Saint Rank Golden Body is at the Eighth Forging, learning our sect's Celestial Tyrant Body Art can increase your combat power by at least 10 times!"

Xiong Lie looked at Lin Chen and said with relief.

10 times?

Lin Chen smiled bitterly in his heart. Eight years ago, he was indeed looking forward to the body arts of his two masters' sects, but now they were no longer enough.

His basic strength was too immense. He was now only interested in limit-breaking body arts.

Should he reveal his own body art?

Lin Chen became conflicted... After a long while, he made up his mind.

His two masters had treated him well, and although he had just met Sect Master Wu, the latter had also been protecting him during his breakthrough.

He decided to share the God-Devil Battle Art, a Half-Step Limit-Breaking Body Art.

Anyway, this body art was only a transitional one for him.

With the system's upgrade, he believed that even more powerful body arts would be deduced.

Then, Lin Chen took out a memory crystal from his spatial ring.

"Sect Master Wu, both masters, I was fortunate to break through this time, and it was largely thanks to this half True Dragon remains."

"I have a body art here that I would like to gift to you."

Xiong Lie and the others saw Lin Chen fall silent for a moment, thinking he was just adjusting his aura after the breakthrough, and didn't expect him to take out a body art.

Yuan Fei said with a laugh:

"Disciple, why be polite with us? Our two sects are not short of body arts."

Xiong Lie walked over and patted Lin Chen's shoulder, saying:

"Lin Chen, we all know your intentions. Just remember to take care of our two sects when you become stronger in the future."

"Master believes in you!"

Lin Chen smiled and nodded. He had long regarded his two masters as family.

"Both masters, my body art is not ordinary. Are you sure you don't want to take a look?"

Not ordinary?

Yuan Fei curiously took the memory crystal upon hearing this, then projected the information within.

Buzz—

A virtual projection immediately appeared before everyone's eyes.

Eh?

Wu Yang hadn't paid much attention to this body art initially, after all, he had lived for countless years and had seen too many body arts.

His Ba Sect's body arts were already among the top in the Endless Realm.

But the moment he saw the content of the projection, his breathing quickened!

"This... this is... a Half-Step Limit-Breaking Body Art!"

Wu Yang exclaimed in utter shock.

Even Ancestor Jin was shaken by this cultivation method. He looked deeply at Lin Chen.

This young man had too many secrets... Xiong Lie and Yuan Fei's eyes widened even further as they began to read the introduction of this body art.

"It really is a Half-Step Limit-Breaking Body Art!"

"Lin Chen, this... where did you get it from?"

Xiong Lie asked excitedly.

Lin Chen naturally couldn't say he deduced it himself. He still used the excuse of having had a fortuitous encounter to gloss over it.

As a sect master, Wu Yang had not experienced emotional fluctuations for many years, but at this moment, he felt his blood boiling as he looked at this body art.

The significance of this body art was too great!

It could elevate his sect's strength by a large margin!

And he himself could even reach the combat power of a Quasi-Emperor with the help of this body art, which was the same level as the ancestors of the three Peak Races!

"Lin Chen, my good disciple, you are truly our lucky star!"

Yuan Fei excitedly gave Lin Chen a big hug.

Afterward, they studied the projected information for seven or eight hours, with Lin Chen occasionally explaining some difficult points.

This allowed his two masters and Sect Master Wu to initially grasp the cultivation method of this body art.

The God-Devil Battle Art primarily relied on condensing 129,800 battle intents within the body to amplify Physical Strength.

With Lin Chen's explanations and experience, they grasped it extremely quickly.

At this rate, Lin Chen estimated that they would master 70% of this body art within a year!

Subsequently, the high-level combat forces of the two major body cultivation sects gathered, and they jointly began to study this body art.

Meanwhile, Lin Chen and Ancestor Jin returned to the Fire Mist Sect.

There was still over a year until the Multiverse War began, and Lin Chen planned to hunt frantically during this year!

Currently, his Physical Strength was 8 million Dragon Elephant Power, comparable to the First Tribulation Quasi-Emperor level.

After being amplified by the God-Devil Battle Art, it reached a terrifying 800 million Dragon Elephant Power!

The amplification had decreased from the previous 400 times to 100 times.

"I wonder how many Tribulations of Quasi-Emperor level combat power this amplified strength is equivalent to..."
