270: Divine Factor

Nearly 600 million Energy Points!

Lin Chen's expression was invigorated; this trip to the black tower was too worthwhile!

He had only passed the first three trials so far.

The black tower had a total of ten floors, meaning there were at least six more trials to come!

Lin Chen guessed that the tenth floor's black tower trial might be very special.

And passing each trial should grant a large amount of points, or various other rewards!

"I wonder if I can reach the Great Emperor Realm by passing these black tower trials!"

Lin Chen looked forward to it.

The Great Emperor Realm was the pinnacle existence in a low-level four-dimensional world like the Endless Realm.

Lin Chen had absorbed Ye Shaoyang's cultivation insights, so he had a certain understanding of the Great Emperor Realm.

He still had a long way to go before reaching the Great Emperor Realm; first, his Taiyi Great Dao must reach the Origin Consummation level.

This was only one of the conditions for breaking through to the Great Emperor Realm.

When breaking through to the Great Emperor Realm, the Inner World would undergo a major transformation, and then the Inner World would detach from the main body and exist independently.

After an Emperor Realm Experts' true spirit perishes, he will be reborn in his Inner World, and he can even instantly teleport back to his Inner World!

Therefore, a Great Emperor is very difficult to kill!

As long as the Inner World remains hidden and undamaged, he can be continuously resurrected.

Besides that, the most difficult aspect of breaking through to the Great Emperor Realm was — undergoing tribulation!

Because the Dao at the Great Emperor level was too strong, so strong that the Emperor Seal simply couldn't bear it!

Breaking through to the Great Emperor Realm also required experiencing the Great Emperor Tribulation.

At that time, the will of the Heavenly Dao would unleash the most terrifying tribulation!

Only by passing the Great Emperor Tribulation and allowing the Emperor Seal to transform and sublimate could it bear the Great Emperor-level Great Dao... These were all matters for later; Lin Chen retracted his thoughts and looked at the system panel.

Name: Lin Chen

Realm: Nine-Step Emperor Realm + (Promoted after true spirit transformation)

true spirit: Nine-Step Emperor Realm + (Consumes 50 million stones to promote)

Golden Body: Imperial Rank Nine Forged + (Consumes 150 million stones to promote)

Physical Strength: 10 quadrillion Dragon Elephant

Taiyi Great Dao (Origin): 1% +

...Energy Points: 580 million stones

System Upgrade: 10 million stones

"Let's break through to the Half-Step Great Emperor Realm first!"

Lin Chen's mind stirred, and he directly consumed 200 million Energy Points!

He wanted his martial arts realm and physical realm to advance simultaneously!

Boom—

Instantly, Lin Chen's true spirit and Physical Strength began to surge!

This stage temporarily didn't require comprehension enhancement; he could only slowly await the transformation of his true spirit and physical body.

So Lin Chen only activated the time wheel.

5 million times time acceleration!

1 hour in the outside world, 570 years in the Origin Chamber!

This time, both the true spirit and the physical body were undergoing a leap of a major realm.

The time consumed would also be very long!

Lin Chen entered a state of self-forgetfulness; at his level, sitting in meditation for tens of thousands of years would not feel lonely, and his true spirit would not be eroded... Time flew by, and soon Lin Chen had been in seclusion for 620 years!

During this period, he exchanged for cultivation time in the Origin Chamber once more.

Finally, on this day, Lin Chen's physical body transformation was complete!

"Now I can break through to the Half-Step Great Emperor Realm!"

Besides mastering the Origin-level Great Dao, a Half-Step Great Emperor Realm would also master power beyond Origin Energy — Divine Power!

Divine Power was a power far exceeding Origin Energy.

In fact, Lin Chen had also sensed it during this time; it was extremely difficult for him to mobilize the Origin-level Taiyi Great Dao using Origin Energy.

And the consumption was enormous!

The reason was that the power level of Origin Energy was too low... When breaking through to the Half-Step Great Emperor Realm, one would absorb divine factors from between heaven and earth.

Once the divine factors permeated the entire body, the physical body would undergo another transformation, becoming a Divine Body!

A Divine Body could autonomously absorb divine factors and convert them into Divine Power!

Divine Power was incredibly powerful; a Half-Step Great Emperor Realm could easily crush Nine-Step Emperor Realm beings with Divine Power... Now, Lin Chen had met all the conditions for breaking through to the Half-Step Great Emperor Realm.

The first step of the breakthrough required perceiving the wandering divine factors between heaven and earth.

Only by comprehending the Origin-level Great Dao could one perceive these divine factors.

Lin Chen learned all this information from Ye Shaoyang's cultivation insights from both his lives... Knowing all this, Lin Chen's eyes slightly closed, and he began to sense the divine factors through the Taiyi Great Dao.

This step was very simple; Lin Chen sensed them in less than half a day!

In his perception, besides spiritual energy, there were also golden wandering particles between heaven and earth.

These were the divine factors!

Lin Chen discovered that the divine factors in the Origin Chamber were unusually concentrated, which greatly surprised him.

The more concentrated the divine factors, the faster his physical body would transform into a Divine Body!

Then, with a thought, Lin Chen began to draw the golden particles into his physical body through the power of the Taiyi Great Dao.

As the divine factors integrated, Lin Chen sensed that his physical body was undergoing a peculiar transformation...

This process was extremely slow.

Lin Chen was not in a hurry; after all, he had plenty of time now.

Thus, Lin Chen continuously drew divine factors into his physical body; the more his physical body transformed, the faster it absorbed divine factors!

A year later.

Boom—

Lin Chen's physical body erupted with dazzling golden light, and a terrifying aura swept through the entire chamber space!

After a long while, the aura receded.

At this moment, Lin Chen's physical body was crystal clear, with faint golden light shimmering, appearing extremely wondrous.

This was precisely the sign of a nascent Divine Body!

After his physical body transformed into a Divine Body, Lin Chen found that he no longer needed to sense the divine factors; his physical body could absorb them autonomously.

The absorbed divine factors continuously gathered within every cell.

After transforming into a Divine Body, each of Lin Chen's cells was equivalent to an independent space, capable of storing a large amount of divine factors.

These divine factors would instantly condense together upon Lin Chen's command, forming Divine Power!

A month later, the divine factors within the cells reached a saturated state.

With a thought, a wisp of golden Divine Power appeared on Lin Chen's fingertip.

This wisp of Divine Power contained terrifying strength, countless times more powerful than all of Lin Chen's previous Origin Energy combined!

This was the gap between the Half-Step Great Emperor Realm and the Emperor Realm!

After sensing his own changes for a moment, Lin Chen looked at the system panel.

Name: Lin Chen

Realm: Half-Step Great Emperor Realm Early Stage (Increases self-created Great Dao comprehension by 30%, promoted after true spirit transformation)

true spirit: Half-Step Great Emperor Realm Early Stage + (Consumes 500 million Energy Points to promote)

Golden Body: Yuan Rank One Forged (Consumes 800 million Energy Points to promote) (Physical body comparable to peak Imperial Rank artifact)

Physical Strength: One Yuan of Power

Self-Created Great Dao: Taiyi Great Dao 1%

...Energy Points: 380 million stones

System Upgrade: 10 million stones

"So above Imperial Rank Golden Body is Yuan Rank Golden Body."

"It seems that One Yuan of Power can only contend with the early stage of the Half-Step Great Emperor Realm."

"Let's try how much the Extreme Path Blood Burning Art can amplify it."

Boom—

The next moment, Lin Chen's entire body ignited with vital blood, and his Physical Strength began to surge.

After a few breaths, Lin Chen's Physical Strength surged to its limit.

Physical Strength: Five Yuan of Power

"Only 5 times?"

"I wonder if it can contend with the middle stage of the Half-Step Great Emperor Realm."

"The system should also be upgraded; after this upgrade, my body techniques should also advance once."

Lin Chen muttered after retracting his aura.

Then he took out that Dao Origin Pill and swallowed it whole.

The thousand-core ancient lamp was also lit.

At this moment, Lin Chen's comprehension was amplified 50,000 times at the Half-Step Great Emperor Realm Early Stage level!

With a thought, he directly consumed 300 million Energy Points, all used to comprehend the Origin-level Taiyi Great Dao.

At the same time, he consumed 10 million stones to initiate the system upgrade...
