Sanctification of the meat body is only the first step.

With both primordial spirit and body in the Six Realms, becoming a Martial God is his true pursuit.

Of course, Chen Yuan, whose body has already been sanctified, now possesses self-preservation power, even against the descent of the Immortal Domain.

Sensing the surging power of his physical body now, Chen Yuan thought to himself.

At this moment, he should have the strength to compete with top human immortals who have condensed the Three Flowers.

...

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The terrifying confrontation continued, with each clash capable of shaking the heavens and earth. Mo Ying had long revealed its true form, its terrifying Qi and Blood Power causing tremors with every roar.

But....

Despite this, it still didn't shake Lu Chengfeng. He remained immortal-like in appearance, his expression calm. It was obvious that he held the upper hand in the clash with Mo Ying.

Moluo intended to assist in the battle, but just as he was about to take action, suddenly, brilliant purple energy swept across the human world, a terrifying phenomenon even detectable amidst the chaotic void.

In an instant, he was delighted, knowing that Chen Yuan had succeeded; otherwise, such a phenomenon would not occur.

Lu Chengfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He believed Chen Yuan could achieve it, but sanctification of the body was exceedingly difficult. Throughout history, only one person, Chu Grand Ancestor, had succeeded.

It could have failed.

Now that the phenomenon had appeared, he could be assured.

The surge of Rule Power soared once more.

Mo Ying hastily retreated, reverting to human form with a very unpleasant expression. His goal had ultimately failed, thwarted by this unknown Earth Immortal master.

Even if he took advantage of Chen Yuan's recent breakthrough, there was no chance of slaying him.

His heart had already bred the thought of retreat.

"Hmph, today's enmity, this emperor records, in the future, I shall lead a million demon soldiers to annex the Central Plains and imprison you all eternally in the Demon God Hall."

Mo Ying spat a harsh threat, casting a gloomy glance at Lu Chengfeng, then turned and tore open the void, leaving directly.

"Spawn, cease your escape!"

Moluo shouted fiercely, about to suppress him, but Lu Chengfeng didn't move, merely watching the scene quietly, and Moluo's methods fell short.

Shattered by a resounding Tiger Roar.

Mo Ying vanished in an instant, as if he had never appeared.

"Master Lu, you... why didn't you act, taking this chance to eliminate this demon?" Moluo furrowed his brow, somewhat puzzled.

Mo Ying had already unified the Southern Border, ascended as Demon Emperor, becoming their significant future threat. If he could be killed now, a lot of trouble would be spared.

But Lu Chengfeng merely shook his head:

"Demon Gods are inherently difficult to kill, let alone those with an 'Undying Body'? As long as his origin remains, it's impossible to kill him. Even capturing him is of no use."

Saying this, he pointed to the barrier of the void:

"If the battle continues, this barrier will shatter."

Moluo quickly understood the hidden truth. If the void barrier shattered, the confrontation between Lu Chengfeng and Mo Ying would be earth-shattering, alarming the whole world.

Not only failing to kill the opponent but also exposing his existence.

Understanding was one thing, but he still felt a bit of regret.

After all, it was a rare opportunity.

"We can't hold him now, but in the future, King Yan will handle it. Let's go... witness the first instance of sanctification of the meat body in a thousand years."

Lu Chengfeng smiled faintly, waved his hand to break open the void, and stepped out.

...

The omnipresent purple energy in the void had not dissipated. Against the backdrop of the great sun, it appeared extremely noble, as if a layer of radiance had been added to the figure on the Nine Dragon Mountain range.

And Chen Yuan, after his breakthrough, began closing his eyes to breathe and sense his realm.

Only now did he finally understand what it meant to sanctify the body, what it meant for internal and external unity, what it meant... to be a Martial God.

Those who cultivate the body take themselves as heaven and earth, self-forming a realm. Sanctification opens a small world within the body, capable of birthing rules, where all great power returns to oneself.

Those who cultivate the primordial spirit align their primordial spirit with heaven and earth, borrowing the rules of heaven and earth to exercise great divine power, known as the Immortal Realm, using spirit to unite with heaven, also known as Refining Void and Merging Dao.

Neither is superior or inferior.

Either path can reach the pinnacle, known as Immortal God.

But both primordial spirit and body have advantages and disadvantages. The primordial spirit's advantage is its powerful borrowing of the rule power of heaven and earth, with mysterious divine power techniques.

The weakness is its fragility; if close combat occurs, the primordial spirit may be harmed.

The body's advantage is stronger defense and terrifying life essence Qi. When reaching the peak, undying origin means undying, but the weakness is a lack of offensive methods.

Only able to rely on the body.

And the Martial God unites both, connecting the inner realm with the outer realm, with stronger divine power techniques and terrifying life essence Qi, achieving far beyond one plus one equals two.

The rules in the inner realm continually rotate and surge; presently, every passing moment increases Chen Yuan's strength—of course, until he expands his inner realm to the extreme, without a primordial spirit breakthrough, he cannot fully embark on the path of the Martial God, achieving internal and external unity.

He can sense the Rule Power perpetually fusing into his flesh through his body, as if every drop of his blood has gained spirituality.

Capable of Blood Rebirth!

Absolutely a tool for preserving life.

As long as a strong enemy does not trace and extinguish the origin of that drop of blood along the bloodline, he can resurrect, merely entering a prolonged period of weakness.
