Chapter 1048: Chapter 1022: Ancient Divine Demon Body Tempering Divine Power

Roar——

It was like an awakening roar, a shout to the heavens, a hysteria of decisive power, erupting like a volcano, providing Tangyu strength from this belief, his steps gradually moving forward, advancing with difficulty, yet breaking through the terrifying restraint, pressing ahead with unmatched bravery.

At this moment, the path ahead seemed much clearer.

Tangyu’s gaze seemed to clearly see the distant Flying Immortal Altar, still a thousand feet away. It was a peculiarly shaped Jade Altar, surrounded by planted blades, spears, swords, and sticks, all emitting a terrifying, eerie aura. Even from this distance, Tangyu could feel the sharpness of these peerless divine weapons. So numerous, nearly a hundred in total, each felt like a divine weapon to Tangyu. If not Immortal Artifacts, then they must be powerful Daoist Artifacts or something similar.

Just these nearly hundred divine weapons would make countless people green with envy, wouldn’t they?

The Flying Immortal Altar actually had so many divine weapons planted here, enduring countless eras of time.

What caught Tangyu’s eye the most was a figure sitting on the Jade Altar, with a handsome young appearance, sitting cross-legged with closed eyes as if in cultivation. Just a glance at this figure made Tangyu feel like falling into the Six Paths of Reincarnation. This feeling was too terrifying and unbearable. The aura emanating from this figure was significantly stronger than that of the Ming Zhen Demon Immortal encountered earlier.

Tangyu’s mind stirred: “Could this be Magic Luo Immortal Lord?”

Besides Magic Luo Immortal Lord, Tangyu couldn’t think of a second person; such a powerful, fearsome aura could only be Magic Luo Immortal Lord. Just how formidable was Magic Luo Immortal Lord’s strength? It was unimaginable to think about.

Scanning around, Tangyu found that nobody approached within five hundred feet of Magic Luo Immortal Lord’s body. The figures encircling him were frozen in place, over twenty in total. The most formidable had approached within five hundred feet but was frozen and turned into eternal sculptures.

At this time, Tangyu’s steps also became exceedingly heavy and difficult; advancing one step was extremely difficult.

“What is that?” Tangyu’s gaze caught a glimpse, suddenly falling on a picture beside Magic Luo Immortal Lord’s body. It was a square-meter picture depicting many figures and some strange runes. The figures, remarkably, were powerful members of the Demon Clan, and these demon figures were tempering their bodies, practicing a kind of powerful Body Tempering Divine Power.

Tangyu’s mind stirred greatly: “Rumor has it that in ancient times, Demon Gods did not cultivate Dao Foundation but only cultivated their bodies, entering the Dao through the body, honing their bodies to be extraordinarily powerful, using the strength of their bodies to oppose Immortal Cultivators. This was the so-called Divine Demon Cultivation Path of the ancient era. One breaks the earthly constraints by Body Tempering, while the other breaks the earthly constraints by cultivating Dao Foundation. The ultimate goal is to enter the Dao, grasp the Great Dao of the heavens, and step on the Path of the Immortals.”

“Moreover, it’s said that during the ancient era, many Human Clan cultivators practiced Divine Demon Body Tempering Method, as this Dharma Gate was more accessible to beginners, and comparatively, its power was greater. However, to enter the Dao, the Immortal Cultivation Path remained preferable. The Divine Demon Body Tempering Method was advantageous only in early-stage strength. But achieving immortality was harder than with the Immortal Cultivation Path. Thus, gradually, Divine Demon Body Tempering declined, even among the Demon Clan itself it was rarely practiced, with many ancient Divine Demon Body Tempering methods becoming lost.”

This picture before him was evidently a profound ancient Divine Demon Body Tempering Method.

Only belongings left from the ancient era could contain such Divine Demon Body Tempering Techniques. If given to the Demon Clan, it would undoubtedly be treasured greatly.

Gazing intently at the picture, Tangyu soon felt like he was immersed in the painted world, the scene before him becoming clearer. Those ancient Demon Gods were demonstrating the Body Tempering Method, extremely exquisite, very profound, yet also incredibly painful. This pain was not something ordinary people could endure. So, among the Human Clan attempting to cultivate Divine Demon Body Tempering, the numbers were indeed few, limited to the ancient era, and now likely hard to find.

“So exquisitely crafted, using such a method to cultivate the physique, strengthen the body, forging it like a divine weapon, using the world as the forge, the power of the Great Dao of the world as the fire, everything as material. Exquisite beyond words, inconceivable. Harnessing the power of the world, reaching such a level, is unimaginable. The creator of this Divine Demon Body Tempering Method must be an extraordinary person.” During his observation, Tangyu’s mind was undeniably rattled, marveling incessantly.

In comparison, the “Undying Nine Transformations” he obtained from the Shi Que predecessor was truly weak; it couldn’t even be compared remotely.

Even when cultivated to the peak, “Undying Nine Transformations” could only refine the body into a Spiritual Artifact, at most reaching the threshold of a Daoist Artifact. Moreover, the cultivation of “Undying Nine Transformations” required numerous auxiliary rare treasures from the world, the cost of cultivation was too high, not achievable by ordinary people, requiring numerous aids to succeed.

Yet this ancient Divine Demon Body Tempering Divine Power was incredibly mighty, capable of cultivating to the peak of the Seeking Immortal Realm, elevating the body to that level, able to refine the body hard to the Top Grade Immortal Artifact level.

Of course, the Immortal Artifact here referred to was what the Cultivation World considered Immortal Artifact, not truly an Immortal Artifact.

In front of true Immortal Artifacts like those in Shi Que Palace, it could only be called Half-Immortal Artifact at most.

Just think how terrifying it is; the body is an Immortal Artifact, no power can harm it. Untouchable, it stands in the invincible place; the divine skill is unrivaled. Who can oppose such power?

Tangyu finally felt somewhat relieved, realizing why the Ancient Divine Demon Body Tempering Technique was so prevalent in ancient times; it all made sense now.

However, Tangyu was puzzled as to why such a divine power Dharma Gate had nearly become lost to history. At least, he hadn’t seen anyone directly engaging in body tempering; everyone seemed focused on Foundation Establishment and followed the Immortal Cultivation Path. Even those of the Demon Clan were the same. This was indeed perplexing.

Unable to understand, Tangyu naturally decided not to dwell on it further.

“Why can’t one cultivate both Divine Demon Body Tempering and Dao Foundation simultaneously? Just like how I also cultivate the Secret Technique of ‘Undying Nine Transformations,’ strengthening my own power substantially. If I further cultivate this Divine Demon Body Tempering, enhancing my physical strength, wouldn’t my power rise to yet another level? Considering that this Demon Immortal Venerate practices Divine Demon Body Tempering and has placed this image here, could his challenge possibly be to have someone cultivate this Divine Demon Body Tempering Divine Power?” Tangyu pondered deeply in his heart.

Primarily, he truly wished to cultivate this Divine Demon Body Tempering Divine Power, as it would further augment his power.

What Tangyu most desires now is, naturally, power.

With such thoughts, Tangyu made up his mind, deciding to cultivate this Divine Demon Body Tempering Divine Power.

His mind continued to immerse itself in the world of the illustration, closely experiencing the profoundness of this Divine Demon Body Tempering Dharma Gate, comprehending the method’s secrets, and figuring out how to start.

This examination lasted three days and nights.

Feeling that he had observed enough, Tangyu began to move, his body struggling to perform some actions, but the binding force of the radiant halo was too formidable, making it extremely difficult to complete such movements.

Yet at this moment, Tangyu’s mind was fully immersed in the cultivation of this Divine Demon Body Tempering Divine Power, entering a state of selfless artistic conception, forgetting everything, wholehearted in his cultivation.

With a single move, he felt endless pain cascade throughout his body, as if every bone was on the verge of breaking, and his tendons seemed about to rip. This was only the first movement, yet the agony was unbearable, similar to the distress of cultivating the First Transformation of ‘Undying Nine Transformations.’

This is merely the beginning, and the pain was soul-jarring.

However, Tangyu could endure such pain firmly, having the experience of cultivating ‘Undying Nine Transformations,’ allowing him to face this extreme pain composedly. Experiencing this pain firsthand, Tangyu deeply understood why this Divine Demon Body Tempering Law gradually declined; cultivating it does indeed induce an excruciating pain, nearly unbearable for ordinary people, likened to the torment of being worse off than death.

Repeatedly attempting, repeatedly observing, Tangyu plunged into a frenzied cultivation state.

Yet entering the realm of this Divine Demon Body Tempering Law was indeed no easy feat.

Imagine, such a Divine Demon Body Tempering Law, crafted by the Demon Immortal Venerate, must be extraordinarily profound and inscrutable. At present, Tangyu is merely at the Sixth Layer of the Mystic Law Realm, a trivial pawn in the Cultivation World. With such a realm to cultivate this Divine Demon Body Tempering Divine Power is naturally as challenging as ascending to the heavens.

This challenge defies the very heavens.

As time elapsed, it was uncertain how long had passed.

On Xing Tian’s side, after repeatedly exceeding his limits, he suddenly sensed a wave of summoning sounds. Xing Tian’s eyes sparkled with light, and he looked towards a direction, discovering a figure sitting there, its aura comparable in strength to the recent Ming Zhen Demon Immortal.

With a movement, Xing Tian painstakingly proceeded in that direction.

Meanwhile, Wang Qiutian and his companions had long reached their limits, stopping where they were, essentially treating it as a cultivation session.

Liang Fengnian and Wooden Sword also pressed forward with difficulty, but they were evidently lagging behind Tangyu, both reaching their limit, yet Liang Fengnian resolutely pressed on, leaving Wooden Sword with no choice but to follow.

Liang Fengnian’s gaze flickered with sinister brilliance as he looked at Tangyu, his heart unwilling by far, but helpless at the moment.

“Have I reached my limit? No, I am unwilling. How can I, the thirteenth prince of Liang Kingdom, be surpassed by a nameless person? I cannot be trapped here; I am one destined to contend in the king’s dispute, I must break through.” Liang Fengnian’s heart roared with hysterical madness, vowing to advance.
