Just as the old stone turtle said, the seventh Heavenly Stele contained too many secrets. It required the approval of the previous six Heavenly Steles and the imprint of the heavenly mark in order to see the supreme essence of the inscriptions.
At this moment, the deep abyss shook. The light inside was dazzling and the darkness was completely dispersed. The bottom was bright and dazzling. The cultivators on the surface looked down in shock. However, aside from a horrifying fluctuation that made their souls tremble, they couldn't discover anything else.
Although the abyss was dazzling, the divine light was too blazing. It drowned the place and made it impossible to see through it.
In the end, the divine light even formed a huge barrier in the abyss, enveloping the area below and blocking everyone's divine sense.
In the abyss, an ancient sacrificial chant resounded. It seemed to have transcended thousands of years and reverberated from the distant past.
The sacred sacrifice continued. Xiao Chen's body turned into an "external object" and sat cross-legged in the void. He was getting brighter and brighter, just like a throbbing divine flame.
Meanwhile, the incomparably strong Ancestor God's flesh slowly dimmed. His skin was no longer glowing and even shriveled. The limitless potential it contained was quickly draining away.
After the sacred sacrifice, Xiao Chen's flesh was already very close to an Ancestor God's physical body. Hence, this time, it could absorb the boundless divine light from the black Ancestor God's flesh even faster.
Although he couldn't enter the Ancestor God Realm yet, he could refine his body to the point of immortality. He could even push it to the peak of the Martial Ancestor Realm. His body would coexist with the world, eternal and indestructible. It would be so strong that even Ancestor Gods would have a headache over it.
The fact that his divine sense wasn't strong enough was a crucial problem that troubled Xiao Chen. This time, he made up his mind to refine a supreme divine body. He wanted to take out a supreme divine body that could lock down his divine sense, and effectively defend against the divine sense attacks of the otherworldly Ancestor Gods.
During this process, the two huge Heavenly Steles kept shaking. Complicated and profound patterns kept imprinting on Xiao Chen's Divine Origin.
Those Little Ancestral Dragon characters seemed to have a life of their own, condensing supreme essences in his divine source. Before this, he didn't understand the meaning of those characters at all, but now, because of Tian Hen's existence, he understood their meaning, understood and felt it.
At this moment, even the old Stone Turtle who was watching from the side was moved. Holy Sacrifice was truly terrifying. It could produce a terrifying divine body in such a short amount of time.
At this moment, Xiao Chen's flesh shell appeared nearly transparent. Every inch of his flesh and blood contained a divine radiance, growing increasingly firm. Even a Divine Weapon would find it hard to shake him.
Brilliant light flashed. This body was like seven-colored glass, shining with light, like the most beautiful work of art in the world, without a trace of impurity.
After all the tempering, Xiao Chen's physical body was improving, being remolded.
An indescribable and mysterious voice continuously sounded from within the black giant's flesh shell. This was an ancient scripture, this was the profound and unfathomable ancient voice of Holy Priest.
His voice shook the ages, the past, and the future.
In the end, the black giant completely lost its luster. Eighty percent of the infinite power hidden in its body was released.
Only then did the sacrificial chant slowly fade away.
"Boom …"
Just at this moment, a bright and piercing light rushed out of the black giant's skull. That was Xiao Chen's original Life Essence, which rushed out with his Spiritual Sense.
Then, it rushed into his flesh shell. At this moment, Xiao Chen's body was like a sun, illuminating the surroundings with divine light. No one could look directly at him. At this moment, his physical body truly reached the Ancestor God Realm, becoming a War Ancestor's physical body. He was no longer infinitely close to breaking through that shackle.
A strong physical body flowed with unparalleled power. He could easily shatter the world with his bare hands!
A War Ancestor had the most horrifying physical body and a strong Ancestor God Spiritual Sense. The only thing he was not as good as an Ancestor God was that he had not comprehended the Origin of the Universe and the Divine Laws of the universe.
Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense had already reached peak Seventh Heaven Half Martial Ancestor. He was only three steps away from a War Ancestor.
These three steps might take ten years, a hundred years, or even ten thousand years to cross. Xiao Chen had to think of a way to make up for his weakness in the shortest time possible.
Many Ancestor God flesh shells appeared before him. This was a huge treasure trove for him to make up for his weakness.
Xiao Chen had made it clear long ago that he wanted to raise his Divine Body to a horrifying level. Then, he could forcefully lock down his Spiritual Sense and use his strong physical body to protect his soul, not giving Ancestor God experts any opportunities.
For now, he would use the strong flesh shell as a shield to protect himself.
During this process, the two Heavenly Steles kept giving off light. The patterns continuously imprinted themselves on Xiao Chen's Divine Source.
All this only stopped after a long time. The Heavenly Stele that once suppressed the Yellow River slowly faded and vanished.
At this moment, the first Heavenly Mark in Xiao Chen's Divine Source became increasingly clear. It was simply a miniature Heavenly Stele. With a thought, that Heavenly Mark appeared in his palm. It was like the Heavenly Stele suppressing the Yellow River was in his hand.
Xiao Chen immediately comprehended many things. The true meaning that he had not noticed when he cultivated the Profound Techniques of the Heavenly Stele surfaced in his heart at this moment.
After standing there quietly for a long time, Xiao Chen finally came to his senses. He truly realized the value of the seventh Heavenly Monument. Not to mention the new meaning inscribed on it, just the ability to achieve mastery through a comprehensive study was already a huge treasure trove.
At this moment, Xiao Chen could not digest it for a long time. He needed to continue the Sacred Sacrifice and use the second Heavenly Mark to connect to the Dragon Island's Heavenly Stele and the seventh Heavenly Stele.
Just at this moment, Xiao Chen suddenly had a horrifying feeling. It felt like a great danger was descending.
Clearly, the old Stone Turtle sensed it as well. It did not have any sense of loyalty and was no longer as slow as before. At this moment, it rushed back to the foundation of the Heavenly Stele with a 'whoosh'.
Xiao Chen quickly retreated and stood guard in front of Ke, who was undergoing a transformation.
A black whirlpool silently encased the place where Xiao Chen was standing. The space shrank and turned into a spot of primal chaos before disappearing.
Xiao Chen felt a chill in his heart. That black whirlpool was really scary. Even an Ancestor God would be severely injured if it enveloped him.
The dead lake regained its tranquility as if nothing had happened. There was not a single ripple on the surface of the lake. It was terrifyingly quiet, deathly still.
The tall Heavenly Stele towered in front, and the boundless dead lake blocked the way. This place was brimming with a bewitching atmosphere.
Xiao Chen picked up a huge boulder from the island and tossed it towards the dead black lake.
"Bang … …"
The black waves soared into the sky like dozens of huge waterfalls flowing in reverse. The aura of death was vast and mighty in the abyss, intimidating and terrifying.
"Rumble … …"
It was as if a huge creature was churning in the water. Xiao Chen could vaguely see a huge black shadow rushing towards the huge island at high speed. It created a fifty zhang wide waterway in the water. The black waves surged to both sides, reaching a height of over a thousand zhang!
The waves on both sides of the waterway were like two huge waterfalls hanging upside down in the sky.
"That is … …"
Two rays of cold light shot out from Xiao Chen's eyes. He was on guard. A few Heavenly Steles appeared around him, and the Underworld Iron Ancestor God Battle Armor also appeared on his bronze-colored body.
In the middle of the dead lake, in the huge waterway that had split apart, that black shadow was extremely demonic. As it rushed over, it created a terrifying scene of raging waves. Xiao Chen couldn't see what it was clearly. Only a huge black horn was exposed on the surface of the water. It was over a dozen zhang long and emitted a gloomy light. It made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
He could vaguely see a pair of huge eyes that were as huge as a house staring at Xiao Chen malevolently. The sharp horn burst out with primal chaos radiance and pierced towards Xiao Chen.
"Bang … …"
The six condensed Heavenly Stele were all pierced through. The power of the primal chaos radiance was unparalleled. Xiao Zhan was shocked. He quickly soared into the sky and dodged that terrifying attack.
It actually shot out primal chaos divine power. What kind of monster was this?
The boundless primal chaos radiating from that sharp horn was silently absorbed by the Stone Bone. The pigeon egg-sized bone was like a bottomless pit that could devour all the energy in the world.
From the start to the end, the monster did not emerge from the dead lake. This black lake seemed to have a demonic power. Even someone as powerful as Xiao Chen could not see the situation inside clearly.
"Chi … …"
The horn in the dead lake suddenly expanded. Suddenly, it grew to three thousand zhang long and pierced towards Xiao Chen again.
This time, Xiao Chen was fully prepared. He wanted to test the results of the Sacred Sacrifice. This time, only one Heavenly Stele appeared. It was the so-called "first Heavenly Mark". After communicating with the Heavenly Stele, it seemed to have a soul.
It materialized in Xiao Chen's palm. However, it was only the size of a palm. It was no different from a solid body. Xiao Chen had a feeling that this was a real Heavenly Stele and not a condensation of light.
The horn pierced through the void and reached three thousand zhang long. In an instant, it arrived in front of Xiao Chen.
"Bang … …"
Xiao Chen used the Stone Bone to protect himself and smashed the palm-sized Heavenly Stele down.
Although it was just a small Heavenly Stele, it caused the sky and earth to tremble. The light of primal chaos spread everywhere. The tip of that three thousand zhang long primal chaos horn was smashed off.
A deep, spine-chilling roar rang out from within the Dead Lake. The lake water trembled violently, and the three-thousand-meter-long horn rapidly healed itself. In the blink of an eye, it retreated back into the black lake water.
Xiao Chen was shocked. The Heavenly Mark materialized and became a real Heavenly Stele. Although it was not huge, its power was terrifying. It did not seem to be any weaker than the Divine Diagram!
This was sufficient to show how powerful that unknown savage beast was. After all, divine diagrams were capable of shattering an Ancestral God's body, yet Tian Hen, whose strength was on par with the divine diagrams, was only able to break the tip of its horn. It was truly terrifying.
"Great! The brick is mighty!"
Right at this moment, the old stone turtle suddenly yelled at the top of its lungs.
This evaluation immediately made Xiao Chen's joyful mood disappear.
Brick? This evaluation was really terrible.
"What kind of beast is that?"
Xiao Chen landed in front of the Heavenly Stele and asked in bewilderment.
The black Dead Lake had regained its tranquility. It was dead silent, like a black magic stone that had been split by a giant knife. There was not a single ripple or sound, as if everything that had happened just now was just an illusion.
"A battle pet raised by a half-dead stone statue. Don't worry about it. It doesn't dare to get close to the Heavenly Stele."
The old Stone Tortoise replied slowly.
Stone statue? Xiao Chen was shocked.
"Don't worry. So far, no one in the world has succeeded. That stone statue is only one step away from death."
The old Stone Turtle said indifferently.
Only now did Xiao Chen realize that he had overlooked a fact. The old Stone Turtle seemed to have turned into stone as well.
"You … you can't be … really a Stone Turtle, right?"
At this moment, Xiao Chen felt that he could not speak properly.
"You just realized it?"
The old Stone Turtle seemed to be very depressed. It felt neglected.
Damn!
Xiao Chen was dumbfounded. This Old Man Wang was really a turtle that did not show his true colors. But then again, he could only blame himself for being too careless.
"Old Man Wang, are you really a Stone Tortoise?"
The old Stone Turtle glared at him like an impulsive youngster. "F * ck! Brat, how can you say that? Please pay attention to your words. "
"Really … a Stone Tortoise?"
Xiao Chen felt that it was a bit unreal.
"Brat, are you done yet?"
The old Stone Turtle felt a bit sullen.
"This is unbelievable!"
"What's unbelievable? Are you trying to piss me off?"
The old Stone Turtle glared at him. "Didn't you hear me? So far, no one in the world has succeeded."
"Then you …"
Xiao Chen was confused.
"What you see might not be the truth. My body and soul were destroyed countless years ago. What you see now is only the manifestation of a strand of will that I left behind when I traveled through time."
Xiao Chen was speechless. He was a bit disappointed, but also a bit expectant.
"Brat, let me tell you a story. Maybe you will be inspired."
The old Stone Turtle suddenly said.
Xiao Chen was startled. "Okay, please tell me, senior."
"Once upon a time, there was a turtle. This turtle raised a human."
"You must be wrong. It was a human raising a turtle."
The old Stone Turtle glanced at him and said earnestly, "Young man, don't be so suspicious of others. Don't be so rigid … Can't a turtle raise a human?"
"Okay, okay, okay. Please continue. What happened after that?"
"After that, the human died. The turtle also died. It's over."
The old Stone Turtle stopped talking.
"It's over?"
Xiao Chen really had the urge to beat it up.
The old Stone Turtle glanced at him and said unhurriedly, "Although the turtle is just an old turtle, the human is not an ordinary human. Do you know how this Heavenly Stele came to be?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen was shocked. The Heavenly Stele was too mysterious. He really wanted to know its origin. He asked seriously, "How did it come to be?"
"Sigh …"
The old Stone Turtle shook its head and sighed a few times. Then, it turned around and looked at the dead lake. "This lake is really dark."
Xiao Chen had the urge to vomit blood. Just as he was waiting for the next part, the old Stone Turtle actually moved to the surface of the lake.
How vexing and hateful!
"Brat, why are you staring at me like that? Why are you holding a toothpick? Do you want to chop me? Come on, come on, chop me. "
The old Stone Turtle staggered two steps forward. It looked like it was asking for a beating.
Xiao Chen really "lost" to it. He grabbed his sword and glared at the old Stone Turtle.
"How did the Heavenly Stele come to be?"
"Sigh …"
The old turtle started to sigh again. It wobbled as it took two steps towards the black lake and stared at it in a daze. Just when Xiao Chen's forehead was filled with black lines, thinking that it was going to talk about the lake, the old stone turtle said in a daze, "It grew."
Xiao Chen was startled. He said, "You are saying that the Heavenly Stele grew? How?"
