The vast desert stretched as far as the eye could see.
Xiao Chen forgot about the passage of time and the vastness of space. He advanced alone like an ascetic, exploring this desolate uninhabited region.
No one dared to go deep into the immortal's mainland, these were the famous Forbidden Lands of the Four Extremes. If one were to ask which part of the immortal's mainland was the most dreadful, and which part was the most dangerous place, as long as a practitioner had some understanding, they would definitely say the Forbidden Lands of the Four Extremes.
To the north of the Ancient God Desert in the north, to the west of the millions of copper mountains in the west, to the east of the waves of the vast East Sea in the east, and to the south of the tens of millions of deserted islands in the south, no one could say for sure what kind of unknown world there was. This was because no one had ever come out alive after entering the depths of the world.
Because of the unknown, everything was terrifying!
Even heavenly deities found it difficult to enter, unable to guess at the situation inside.
In the vast desert of hundreds of thousands of miles, yellow sand was blown up, covering the sky and covering the sun. It was as if a golden rain was falling from the sky. From time to time, golden sand dunes would disappear, and new sand dunes would form in an instant.
One could easily imagine how strong the astral winds were. If Xiao Chen did not have many Holy Tools protecting him, he would have turned to dust long ago.
Yes, the astral energy here was exceptionally terrifying. It could even tear apart the body of a god.
The violent winds finally calmed down. The golden desert looked like it was carved out of gold. The golden sand was dazzling, but the temperature was terrifying.
The sunlight that sprinkled down from the sky only raised the temperature by a few dozen degrees, but the golden desert itself seemed to contain endless energy. Xiao Chen saw a half-melted divine weapon, the name of a certain deity was clearly engraved on it. Even such a divine weapon was unable to withstand the terrifying temperature of the desert, one could imagine how terrifying the golden furnace was.
Thus, he had many sacred artifacts to protect himself. Otherwise, he would not be able to survive here.
The midday sun was blazing. The astral wind had stopped. The desert was exceptionally calm and peaceful. Xiao Chen sat alone in the dazzling golden desert. No matter what, he toiled hard every day. He persisted in his cultivation.
The Heavenly Diagram of the Ancient Tablet was further improved. This made him feel more and more that this mental cultivation method was broad and profound. The divinized acupoint path shone even more resplendently. The real Divine Veins continued to extend. It became more and more condensed. Compared to the natural meridians. Even more mysterious.
Beads of sweat dripped down his face. The Twelfth Grade Lotus Platform carried him. The beads of sweat were constantly refined and evaporated. The Four Immortal Slaying Swords guarded the four directions. A misty primordial energy was shaken out. The ancient scriptures flipped back and forth. Golden stars jumped out from within. Let the starlight shine around him. There was also a Taiji diagram floating up and down. The two energies of Yin and Yang rotated back and forth. The Holy Sun Stone froze in the air. Under the dazzling rays of light …
Yes. At this moment, Xiao Chen's entire body was overflowing with colorful lights. He was using the saint artifact to refine his body. At the same time, he operated the mental cultivation method of the Ancient Tablet Heavenly Diagram. At the same time, he took out all sorts of saint artifacts. He allowed the divine radiance to bathe every inch of his flesh.
More than half of the bag of spiritual items given by Tenax had already been consumed. How much time did it take? He had long since lost the concept … All he knew was that it seemed to be very long. Maybe it took a few months. Maybe a year or two. Now, there were 12 more divinized acupoints on his body. Every one of them was like the morning star. It shone brilliantly in his body.
A total of twenty-eight acupoints were completely divinized!
This made him sigh. Just how many rare spiritual herbs were there in the Southern Wasteland Dragon Tribe's sacred land? It was hard to imagine that Tenax was so generous to him. A whole 12 divinized acupoints! If he followed his previous speed, who knew how many years it would take to gather so many spiritual herbs.
When the peerless immortal ginseng that looked like an infant was completely refined by Xiao Chen under the scorching sun, the 29th acupoint was divinized. The Wondrous Seven Treasures Tree continuously emitted seven-colored divine radiance to refine his body. The Holy Sun Stone also emitted waves of divine radiance. It cleansed his meridians. Every inch of his flesh was cleansed. One after another tiny multicolored light could be seen roaming around. This was equivalent to cleansing the marrow!
Under the circumstance that he ignored the passage of time, even Xiao Chen himself couldn't estimate just how strong his body had become in the desert this time.
However, there was one thing that made Xiao Chen very vexed. The Imprint of Martial Arts and the divine ability were clashing more and more. Even using the Heavenly Diagram Ancient Monolith to refine the spiritual herbs and divinize the acupoints. It also conflicted with the Imprint of Martial Arts. It was an extremely painful process every time.
"Refining the spiritual herbs and divinizing the acupoints. After enduring it, they will merge. If that's the case, can the divine ability and the Imprint of Martial Arts also merge? "
No matter what, he wouldn't cripple the Eightfold World. At present, he could only think of a way to merge the two.
Time was like the flowing river. Xiao Chen didn't know how long he had been in the Ancient God's desert. He was doing his best to search and search. He saw a lot of broken walls and ruins in the golden desert, but this couldn't prove anything. He couldn't find any clues.
Maybe another half a year had passed, or maybe two years had passed. On this exceptionally peaceful night, Xiao Chen found it hard to stay calm. He sat alone under the cold moonlight, silently clenching his teeth as he tried to break through.
That's right, he was about to break through to the Zephyr Realm, which was also the legendary demigod realm.
The Ancient God's desert was really a bizarre place. The temperature during the day could melt divine tools, but at night, it was so cold that it could freeze and crack iron.
Under the protection of the sacred tools, the temperature that could freeze one's body couldn't do anything to Xiao Chen. However, the sacred tools couldn't help Xiao Chen break through either. That was because it wasn't something that could be done with just strength. This was a mysterious process to unlock the treasures in one's body. It required an extremely mysterious opportunity.
Under the cold moonlight, the desert was exceptionally quiet. Xiao Chen sat cross-legged in the sky. The blood vessels in his body felt like they were about to burst. All the blood vessels in his body were swelling up.
"Ah … …"
He faced upwards and let out a long roar. His hair fluttered in the wind. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of life essence. After it circled around his body three times, that gentle life essence rushed into his body once again.
"Boom!"
A loud sound came from his body. It was as if some kind of shackle had been broken. Divine power surged violently. Xiao Chen's body was surrounded by thousands of rays of multicolored light. At this moment, he had entered the Zephyr Realm. He was already a young demigod!
Sweeping his gaze across all directions, Xiao Chen soared up and stood in the sky. His pupils were even more resplendent than the stars in the sky. His resolute face appeared confident and calm.
He had finally made a breakthrough. He had been waiting for this day for a very long time.
Demigod, this was a watershed. It laid a solid foundation for advancing into the Immortalis realm. Stepping into the Immortalis realm was no longer a dream. Every time he made progress, he would advance into the God realm.
Suddenly, a bizarre feeling welled up in his heart. His body trembled violently. His sea of consciousness was peaceful. It was as if the surrounding space was pressing down on him.
The space seemed to have collapsed. After that, it condensed into a single point. It transformed into a spiritual light and rushed into his sea of consciousness. Soon after, the space collapsed and formed a black hole. Endless dense black fog drifted out and transformed into a gloomy fog that rushed into his sea of consciousness … …
Illusion … … Misconception … …
The moment Xiao Chen opened his eyes again, he discovered that no matter if it was the condensed point of nothingness or the space that collapsed into a black hole, none of them existed anymore. It was as if he was in a trance for a split second.
However, just at this moment, Xiao Chen truly felt something different from before. It was as if he could become one with the entire heaven and earth. To be exact, he was indistinguishable from the space.
A split second of realization!
He had grasped a new divine ability, the Divine Law of Space!
Space is king, time is venerated! These were the words that Lawrence had once said. Among the practitioners of the same level, the practitioners who had grasped the Divine Law of Space and Time were the supreme ones of the same level. They could already challenge those of a higher level at the Exuvia realm, let alone the Historia and Zephyr realm. Grasping the Divine Law of Space meant that they could challenge those of a higher level!
Space is king, time is venerated!
After breaking through to the Zephyr realm, the treasures in his body were unlocked. He had grasped a kind of divine ability that all practitioners yearned for even in their dreams.
However, trouble also came at this moment. The Martial Imprint was restless. Although the Martial Body was unimaginably powerful, it actually showed signs of collapsing at this moment.
Xiao Chen's body was seriously injured. It was actually … … slowly cracking!
The scene before his eyes was extremely terrifying. Under the clear and cold moonlight in the sky above the boundless desert, Xiao Chen seemed to be disintegrating. His body could collapse at any time.
The divine ability and the Martial Body clashed!
Clenching his teeth, Xiao Chen endured everything with great willpower. He silently analyzed the Martial Imprint and secretly suppressed the newly obtained divine ability of space.
At the same time, he took out many sacred tools. He wanted to use the power of the sacred tools to protect his physical body. However, he discovered that it was useless. The destructive power came from inside his body. The sacred tools couldn't help him at all. On the contrary, they almost had the opposite effect.
Fortune and disaster were interdependent! He had just obtained the Divine Law of Space, but the Martial Body had such an intense reaction in an instant.
"Crack!"
He could clearly hear the sound of bones breaking. Immediately after, Xiao Chen felt his soul floated out of his body. After that, he saw his physical body was torn into pieces.
Something's wrong!
At this moment, Xiao Chen suddenly discovered something to his shock. Although there was a split body in front of him, he … … was not floating outside in the form of a soul. He was still in the form of a physical body.
How … … was this possible?
How could there be two physical bodies? However, Xiao Chen was shocked to discover that this seemed … … to be real. He pinched himself with all his might. He could really feel the reality of his flesh and blood.
At the same time, he discovered that his body was glowing brilliantly. It was the divinized acupoints and the extended divine veins … … This was a body with divinized acupoints and divine veins.
A divine body reborn from the original body? Xiao Chen was incomparably shocked. Was this the initial manifestation of the Heavenly Diagram of the Ancient Monolith?
Before he could think too much, the split body in front of him slowly gathered together. After that, it burst out with an extremely glaring radiance and reassembled.
"Swish … …"
With a flash of light, he discovered that the two bodies had merged into one. Only at this moment did he feel at ease. Because no matter how he transformed, he felt that the original body was the most important.
The spatial divine ability emerged. This time, it didn't clash with the Martial Body. It seemed like the split body just now allowed the divine ability and the Martial Body to merge temporarily.
Demigod!
Xiao Chen had truly stepped into the demigod realm. Furthermore, he had grasped a new divine ability!
Time flew by, he continued to advance in the Ancient God Desert. It seemed like another year had passed. During this process, he had refined all the spiritual items given to him by Tenax and the heavenly treasures given to him by Zhuge fatty.
At this moment, he felt that the life essence in his body was surging. It seemed like he possessed an inexhaustible power. Now, all forty-nine major acupoints were completely divinized. The divine veins extended to every part of his body. Not only were all the divinized acupoints connected, even those acupoints that weren't divinized were also connected.
The boundless life essence was Xiao Chen's most robust capital. Now, he no longer doubted that if he waited until all the acupoints were divinized and all the life essence in his body was at his disposal, his power might be unparalleled. He might have the power to destroy heaven and earth with just a wave of his hand.
And the power … … was definitely only the most basic manifestation of the power. It was basically impossible to guess what kind of astonishing transformation it would bring.
The progress of the Martial Body training was very smooth. His body was as strong as a divine weapon. It was basically impossible for ordinary weapons to injure his body. This kind of physique … … didn't seem to be something that a demigod could possess!
Xiao Chen didn't know that three years had already passed in a flash.
He trained bitterly in the Ancient God Desert alone, and the people outside were also constantly searching for his whereabouts. However, without the support of a sacred tool, even an immortal would find it difficult to enter the depths of the Ancient God Desert.
Xiao Chen advanced on foot. Because the sacred tool "So Close at Hand" seemed to be restricted in the Ancient God Desert, it was difficult to bring out its original might. It could only travel a thousand meters at a time, and it would take a long time. Xiao Chen flew on the Twelfth Stage Lotus Platform, but his speed also decreased rapidly. The deeper he went into the Ancient God Desert, the slower his speed became.
However, even if he spent most of his time cultivating, Xiao Chen still advanced more than two hundred thousand miles into the depths of the Ancient God Desert. Such a depth … … somewhat exceeded his imagination. The vast desert seemed endless.
Time passed mercilessly. Xiao Chen had already forgotten everything about the outside world. Aside from cultivating every day, he was advancing. He wanted to take a look at the secrets in the depths of the Ancient God Desert.
On this day, he suddenly heard the sound of a bell ringing. It gave him a surreal feeling.
Xiao Chen soared into the sky and took out his various sacred tools. He stood in the void and looked ahead.
In the depths of the golden desert in the distance, a temple sat there quietly as if it had existed since ancient times.
Xiao Chen soared into the sky and walked forward step by step.
Under the setting sun, the ancient temple gave off a divine glow. The ringing of the bell had already died down. In the sunset, the ancient temple gave off an incredibly mysterious feeling.
Xiao Chen finally approached the temple. However, he could not get close. A strange energy isolated him outside the ancient temple.
Xiao Chen casually turned his head and was startled. A Daoist temple sat quietly far away from the ancient temple. It was filled with the vicissitudes of time, like it came from the Immemorial Era.
"That is …"
Suddenly, Xiao Chen looked into the distance and discovered an extremely small divine island floating quietly in the air. It looked like it had been sealed for a very long time. There were no energy fluctuations at all; it just remained there alone.
"Everything in this world should be destroyed. This is just a projection of the real world. It is all an illusion. The Immortal Realm should not exist …"
A vast voice reverberated throughout the entire Ancient God Desert. It was ear-splitting, and the vast and boundless golden desert trembled.
