330: Ancient war body!

Lin Chen's Golden Body Realm was at Yuan Grade Twelve Forging, corresponding to the Great Emperor Realm Seventh Layer in martial dao.

Just like the true spirit Realm, once one reached the late Great Emperor stage, the speed of transformation after each breakthrough became extremely slow.

In fact, Lin Chen's Energy Points were most cost-effective when used to upgrade his Golden Body.

If he wanted to break through his Golden Body by himself at his current Realm, it would require a lot of rare treasures to temper his Physical Body.

If he were in the outside world, for example, the Endless Realm, many of the rare treasures that could transform a Great Emperor Realm Physical Body had long since become extinct... After all, many of those rare treasures were non-renewable.

Even if they could be exchanged in the Black Tower, the points consumed would be terrifying.

For example, if he wanted to break through to Yuan Grade Eleven Forging by consuming rare treasures now, he would need dozens of large and small rare treasures.

The lowest price for those rare treasures was hundreds of trillions of points... So relatively speaking, it was most cost-effective for Lin Chen to break through his Golden Body Realm using Energy Points, and there were no bottlenecks.

Consuming rare treasures would also lead to bottlenecks in the final stages, and one would need even more precious rare treasures to break through them.

Time flew by, and soon more than a thousand years had passed; Lin Chen's Golden Body transformation finally concluded.

Boom—

The violent Physical Strength within him soared into the sky, raging throughout the Martial Dao Space.

After everything settled, Lin Chen looked at the system panel and found that the system had already successfully upgraded.

This time, apart from Body Techniques, nothing else had changed.

Golden Body: Yuan Grade Eleven Forging + (Consumes 187.5 trillion Energy Points to advance)

Physical Strength: 100 million Yuan Power

Great Dao: Grandmist Great Dao 38% (Origin)

Body Technique Deduction: Consumes 5 trillion Energy Points

Energy Points: 243.5 trillion Energy Points

System Upgrade: Consumes 1000 trillion Energy Points

"100 million Yuan Power? If I use the 50-fold amplification of the purple-gold bloodline, it can reach 5 billion Yuan Power!"

"I wonder what level of martial dao Realm this power level is comparable to..."

With a thought, Lin Chen's wisp of consciousness entered a virtual world.

This virtual world was similar to that of Hong Country, but infinitely more advanced, because this virtual world could simulate Eternal Realm opponents!

He set an opponent at the Half-step Eternal Realm early stage, then unleashed his Physical Strength and fought with him... After a long time, Lin Chen exited the virtual battle; he now had an understanding of his own combat power.

5 billion Yuan Power was comparable to the peak of the Half-step Eternal Realm early stage!

However, because his physical attacks did not possess the characteristic of indestructibility, no matter how he attacked, he could not kill Half-step Eternal Realm beings.

Only the attack power was sufficient... If he were to break through again, his Physical Strength attacks would reach the Half-step Eternal Realm middle stage!

One gratifying aspect of this thousand-plus-year seclusion was that the Origin-level Grandmist Great Dao had been comprehended to 38% by his clone.

A total increase of 28%!

Although it was far from comparable to the speed of the Great Dao Void before, Lin Chen could completely accept it.

He had plenty of time!

Then, with a thought, Lin Chen consumed another 187.5 trillion Energy Points.

His Physical Body began to transform again... After this transformation, his Physical Body Realm would be comparable to the Great Emperor Realm Ninth Layer!

In the late Great Emperor Realm, the difficulty of each advancement increased sharply across the three Realms.

This could be seen from the Energy Points consumed.

During this seclusion, Lin Chen also consumed 5 trillion Energy Points to deduce a brand new Body Technique.

The previous High-Level Origin Realm Hongmeng Divine Body Technique provided too weak a boost to the Physical Body, and he had not used it for a long time.

"Does the trace of Hongmeng Power condensed by this Hongmeng Divine Body Technique have any connection with my Grandmist Great Dao?"

Lin Chen suddenly thought of this question.

"If so, can the power of the Great Dao also boost Physical Strength?"

Thinking of this, Lin Chen immediately tried it out.

After a long while.

He found that there were indeed many similarities between the two.

However, the trace of Hongmeng Power condensed by the Hongmeng Divine Body Technique far surpassed Lin Chen's Grandmist Great Dao Power!

There was a huge chasm in terms of power levels!

And his Origin-level Grandmist Great Dao Power could not boost Physical Strength... Lin Chen's eyes gradually lit up.

Perhaps, the trace of Hongmeng Power condensed by the Hongmeng Divine Body Technique was the ultimate form of his Grandmist Great Dao!

His Grandmist Great Dao was currently only at the Origin level; there were still Creation Level and Eternal Level... And beyond Eternal?

Perhaps the Grandmist Great Dao could ascend to a level he could not imagine!

At that time, the power level of the Grandmist Great Dao might be the same as the trace of power condensed by his Hongmeng Divine Body Technique!

The fact that Great Dao Power could boost Physical Strength gave him a vague hint of something.

"Could it be that when one's strength reaches a certain point, the powers of martial dao and the Physical Body can merge?"

Lin Chen was slightly shocked in his heart; in fact, a hint could be seen from the fact that the Physical Body could boost Great Dao Combat Skill.

If his deduction was correct, in the future, the two paths of martial and body cultivation might very well merge.

The Dao and the Body would completely become one!

"Perhaps, Martial and Body Dual Cultivation is the right path!"

Lin Chen's eyes burst with brilliant light, as if he had achieved enlightenment.

"It should be this way; only Martial and Body Dual Cultivation can go further..."

"In the pursuit of martial dao, one cannot abandon the Physical Body, after all, the Physical Body is the foundation of a living being..."

After understanding all this, Lin Chen smiled calmly; his path was correct from the very beginning!

Then he slowly immersed himself in the Physical Body's transformation... In seclusion, time flew by, and Lin Chen had long been accustomed to this state of forgetting himself and everything else.

Under 2500 times time acceleration, nearly five thousand years quickly passed!

Lin Chen's Golden Body finally broke through the bottleneck and reached Yuan Grade Twelve Forging, which was also the peak of the Great Emperor Realm!

Feeling the destructive Physical Strength within him, Lin Chen sighed with emotion.

Even with the system's assistance for advancement, it took him half an epoch; how many years would it take for ordinary beings to break through to Yuan Grade Twelve Forging Golden Body?

Lin Chen felt that this time would at least have to increase tenfold... Those Great Emperor Realm and Eternal Realm beings might spend several epochs in a single seclusion, sitting in meditation, and very likely their Realm would not advance at all in the end... This was actually the true normal state of martial dao cultivation.

The reason why Lin Chen and other trial-takers progressed so quickly was because the Black Tower's cultivation environment was too good!

Various resources and auxiliary rare treasures, as well as a comprehensively boosted cultivation environment that was simply unavailable in the outside world... After collecting his thoughts, Lin Chen looked at the system panel.

Immediately, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

On the system panel, a Creation Level Body Technique appeared!

Body Technique: Primordial Battle Body (World-Creation Early Stage) (0 / 10 trillion Energy Points)

(Using the blood of Primordial Fierce Beasts, draw a million divine patterns onto the Physical Body's bones; when activated, it can boost Physical Strength!)

"Primordial Fierce Beasts?"

"What level of fierce beasts are these?"

"And Primordial, what era is this again?"

Lin Chen murmured with a puzzled expression.

Previously, during the Physical Body opportunity, those golden bloodlines were the bloodlines of the Ten Great Ancient Divine Beasts.

He learned through the Black Tower Intelligent Assistant that the Ten Great Ancient Divine Beasts existed hundreds of millions of epochs ago!

That was an incredibly distant time dimension!

One must know that one epoch was ten thousand years!

Over such a long period, the dimensional world had experienced several destructions and rebirths!

All worlds in this universe would go from prosperity to decline, constantly experiencing destruction and then rebirth again and again.

The Endless Realm where Lin Chen resided would ultimately also be destroyed!

The lower the level of the dimensional world, the shorter this time was.

For example, the Endless Realm existed for about 1 billion epochs.

The Primordial World, as a high-level four-dimensional world, had a much longer lifespan, capable of existing for 3 billion epochs.

The reason why worlds are destroyed is because living beings pursue the path of martial dao, constantly consuming world energy and resources; this is unavoidable... Dimensional worlds will eventually be destroyed, and at that time, all living beings will perish with them.

Even if a living being leaves its dimensional world, it cannot escape death, because the life imprint of every living being has been integrated into the dimensional world... Only Ancestor Realm powerhouses can transcend everything and leave the dimensional world!

"The Ancient era is already so distant from the present, so what about the Primordial era?"

Lin Chen was shocked in his heart; that might be a time dimension he could not imagine!

And to be called a fierce beast, Lin Chen felt that its strength must be terrifying!

"However, this Body Technique is somewhat similar to bloodline amplification; both are related to blood..."

"Let's see how much Physical Strength this Primordial Battle Body can amplify!"

Then Lin Chen immediately consumed 10 trillion Energy Points.
