The Indestructible Body of the Ancient God, born from the blood of the Fiendgod, was famed for its powerful defense.
The other sacred grounds, regardless of whether they were good or evil, were all troubled by it.
In order to break the defense of the Indestructible Body of the Fiendgod, all the sects had been researching and thinking of all kinds of methods, but the results were different.
But from a certain point of view, one of the greatest nemeses of the Indestructible Body of the Ancient God was the Sky-Stealing Sun-Changing Technique.
Of course, the two techniques countered each other.
The Divine Fiendgod Fist of the Fiendgod had a fist technique that could make the Sky-Stealing Sun-Changing Technique suffer.
For example, "Xiangliu."
And Zheng Chi's "Nuwa" had endless uses, and actually had the ability to neutralize the Sky-Stealing Sun-Changing Technique.
It was a pity that Zheng Chi was heavily injured and exhausted, and could no longer use "Nuwa."
He stretched out into the world of the Emperor Sky Diagram, and under the pressure of the Earth Treasury Wheel, he could not spare any energy to use "Xiangliu."
Therefore, Zheng Chi could only watch as Chen Luoyang's palm pressed against the dark golden body of the Fiendgod manifested by his Indestructible Body of the Fiendgod.
A black hole seemed to form in Chen Luoyang's palm, and the dark golden light continuously fell into it.
Zheng Chi's strength, compared to the previous two people, was much purer.
Black light immediately appeared on Chen Luoyang's face.
However, in the process of devouring and digesting the other party's power, his attainment in the Sky-Stealing Sun-Changing Technique also increased, and he comprehended the subtleties that he had never comprehended before.
As such, he became more adept at using the Sky-Stealing Sun-Changing Technique, and its power also increased. Everything formed a positive cycle.
The white-haired Zheng Chi looked at Chen Luoyang. Slowly, he sighed and closed his eyes, not saying a word.
The black light on Chen Luoyang's face flickered non-stop, and in the end, the black light almost covered his entire body.
Therefore, he retracted his palm.
Zheng Chi, who was in front of him, was even more exhausted.
The Earth Treasury Wheel had long been retracted by Chen Luoyang, and even the power of the Emperor Sky Diagram and the Yellow Earth Decree had been reduced under his control.
If not for that, Zheng Chi, who was already unable to bear the burden, would have long been crushed to death.
Elder Zheng opened his eyes and saw that Chen Luoyang was shrouded in black light.
He sat down cross-legged to meditate and adjust his breathing. The black light gradually dimmed and returned to his body. For the time being, there was nothing strange.
However, Zheng Chi, who understood the Sky-Stealing Sun-Changing Art, knew that it was just a facade.
Next, Chen Luoyang had to continue refining it.
Although the Sky-Stealing Sun-Shifting Art was evil and domineering, it also had its limitations. Otherwise, the people who cultivated this technique would have long become invincible existences.
In that way, those other than the Ancient God would definitely not allow Jiang Yi, Lin Yan, and the others to be so relaxed, and they would have long since attacked them.
The black light on Chen Luoyang's body disappeared, but he still sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.
Slowly, Zheng Chi asked, "Are you … really related to Zhi Zun? Are you the successor of Zhi Zun? "
Chen Luoyang did not reply and continued to sit still.
Zheng Chi soon noticed that something was wrong.
On the surface of Chen Luoyang's body, there was a faint, resplendent glow.
The glow surrounded the surface of his body and did not dissipate for a long time, as if it was condensing something.
Zheng Chi was an experienced person, he understood what was going on with a glance.
Chen Luoyang's current actions were obviously to condense his own Sacred Mountain.
When a martial artist broke through to the Martial Saint realm, they would transcend mortality and enter sainthood, shedding their mortal body and igniting their own sacred flame.
In other words, the Martial Saint Flame.
It was an illusory flame within the body, signifying that the martial artist had ascended to another level of life.
The sixteenth realm was called Transcendence.
And right now, Chen Luoyang's actions were clearly to break through from the sixteenth realm to the seventeenth realm.
The illusory sacred flame within his body continued to burn, burning all of his blood essence and martial dao comprehension, turning them into ashes.
These ashes were not useless waste.
On the contrary, it was a further fusion and sublimation.
Ashes accumulated, grains of sand formed a tower, finally forming a Sacred Mountain that belonged to the martial artist.
Ascending the Sacred Mountain meant that the martial artist had successfully broken through to the seventeenth realm.
It was called Ascending the Peak.
Sixteenth realm, Transcendence.
Seventeenth realm, Ascending the Peak.
Eighteenth realm, Creation.
Martial artists of these three realms were called Martial Saints.
Standing on the eighteenth realm and continuing to improve, one would have the opportunity to challenge higher realms, which were the positions of Jiang Yi, Ancestor Blood River, Emperor Chu, and other big shots of the mortal world.
Zheng Chi was a martial artist of the eighteenth realm, and he had walked the path that Chen Luoyang was walking on.
Therefore, one look at Chen Luoyang's appearance and he knew that Chen Luoyang was attempting to build a Sacred Mountain.
The dazzling light that appeared on the surface of his body began to gradually condense, forming a towering mountain.
This mountain flickered with light and was transparent.
Chen Luoyang himself was wrapped within the mountain.
The mountain still seemed illusory, but it was becoming more and more real at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye.
Zheng Chi knew that the moment the mountain completely condensed, it meant that the young man in front of him really had a chance to break through to the seventeenth realm.
The old man's face was as calm as water. He did not speak, only watching Chen Luoyang in Silence.
Time, it did not take long.
The mountain that enveloped Chen Luoyang very quickly condensed and became solid. It was majestic and lofty, as if it could suppress the universe.
Although the two sides were enemies, and his current miserable state was caused by Chen Luoyang, Zheng Chi still admitted that the Sacred Mountain that Chen Luoyang built was even larger than when he was in the seventeenth realm.
This young man's talent and strength were truly shocking.
However, Zheng Chi was currently holding his breath and concentrating.
Chen Luoyang had not truly succeeded.
The seventeenth realm was called Ascending the Peak.
Not only did he have to build a Sacred Mountain, but he also had to reach the peak.
Only when he reached this final step would he truly step into the seventeenth realm.
If Chen Luoyang still lacked this final step, it could only be said that he had reached the limit of his sixteenth realm, and was still a step away from the true seventeenth realm.
As a victim of Chen Luoyang's Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping Art, Zheng Chi was not surprised by Chen Luoyang's current situation.
Although he was amazed by Chen Luoyang's attainments in the Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping Art, being able to refine large amounts of devoured power in such a short time, Zheng Chi already understood that Chen Luoyang was using the Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping Art to speed up his progress.
No matter how peerless a genius was, in the process of martial cultivation, some necessary grinding and accumulation was also necessary.
The higher the level, the more difficult it was to break through to a higher realm, and the time needed was often longer.
The only difference between people was the amount of time they had to spend.
At the height of breaking through from the sixteenth realm to the seventeenth realm, no matter how much time was saved, it would still take months and years.
Chen Luoyang used the Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping Art to devour the power of others to help him complete this accumulation.
In Zheng Chi's view, to be able to refine the power devoured in such a short time was already a miracle.
Chen Luoyang definitely had other things to rely on, and the mystery did not just lie in the Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping Art.
Thinking of the relationship between Chen Luoyang and the Supreme Martial Artist, Zheng Chi felt slightly relieved.
But even if these accumulations could help Chen Luoyang build a Sacred Mountain, it could not let him successfully reach the summit.
Building a Sacred Mountain meant the accumulation of one's Qi and blood essence.
Reaching the summit, however, required comprehension of the martial path.
In this aspect, the Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping Art could not help. It required the martial artist to study and comprehend it himself.
Chen Luoyang had just stepped into the Martial Saint realm not long ago. How could he push open the door to the seventeenth realm in such a short time?
From experience and reason, Zheng Chi did not believe it.
But looking at Chen Luoyang's posture, it made his thoughts waver.
Was this youth before him really going to break through to the seventeenth realm now?
Based on what?
However, under Zheng Chi's gaze, the mountain peak condensed from resplendent light shook slightly at this moment.
Then, on the originally empty mountain peak, a figure gradually appeared.
It was Chen Luoyang!
Zheng Chi, who was holding his breath in concentration, finally could not keep a straight face. A look of shock appeared on his face, difficult to conceal.
Chen Luoyang, on the other hand, had no distractions.
At this moment, he finally opened his eyes.
He took a deep breath.
The mountain peak beneath him suddenly disintegrated, turning into resplendent clouds. Then, all of it was sucked back into Chen Luoyang's body with this breath.
A colorful light flashed on the surface of his body, and then quickly disappeared.
His entire person returned to normal, looking no different from before.
But in his body, an illusory Sacred Mountain stood upright. On the peak, a Sacred Fire burned fiercely.
With the Sacred Mountain, a martial artist's offensive and defensive aspects would improve by leaps and bounds.
Therefore, the average strength of a seventeenth realm martial artist steadily surpassed that of a sixteenth realm martial artist by a large margin.
Without the influence of special external factors, it would be extremely difficult for a sixteenth realm martial artist to defeat a seventeenth realm martial artist.
Starting from Emperor Wu, it was increasingly rare for a lower realm martial artist to defeat a higher realm martial artist.
Especially the higher the realm, the rarer such situations were.
To be able to cultivate to the Martial Saint realm or even higher, they were all geniuses that were one in a billion.
To be able to surpass common sense, only those geniuses amongst geniuses, monsters amongst monsters. But such situations were rare after all.
At this time, Chen Luoyang looked towards Zheng Chi, saying calmly, "Yes, the supreme you speak of is my Master."
Zheng Chi was silent at this moment.
After looking at Chen Luoyang for a long time, he let out a soft sigh and did not speak.
Chen Luoyang did not care about him, exiting the world of the Imperial Sky Diagram and reappearing in the mortal world.
"Chen …" Yuan Chi of the Bitter Sea faction saw Chen Luoyang reappear, and was smiling and greeting him when his voice suddenly stopped.
The smile on his face could not help but disappear, and what replaced it was uncontrollable shock and uncertainty.
This number one disciple of Bitter Sea, at this moment, did not even care about politeness. His gaze involuntarily sized up Chen Luoyang.
Chen Luoyang's expression was calm, and he reached out a hand towards him, "Thank you."
"… Hierarch Chen is too polite, I am happy to share your burden." Yuan Chi regained his composure, and a smile appeared on his face again. He held the Imperial Sky Diagram with both hands, and handed it back to Chen Luoyang.
Chen Luoyang took the Imperial Sky Diagram, nodded, and continued on his way.
Right now, they were already outside the main altar of the Ancient God.
The two moved forward together, and very quickly, the followers of the Ancient God came to welcome them.
When everyone saw Chen Luoyang, they were stunned on the spot, and even forgot to greet him.
