Tang Luo’s family was unlike many noble families across the continent, perhaps due to their origins.

His mother, Xu Shuhui, was born into the Xu Clan in Yuanzhou. Even as a disadvantaged young lady, she could see through the machinations of clan interests and she knew that wasn’t the life she aspired to.

His father, Tang Sen, was even more of an outsider, as the illegitimate child of the family’s main branch. Orphaned at a young age, he was left to fend for himself and his younger sister. His rise to the position of the First Head of the Martial Hall was entirely due to his once-in-a-billion talent and his keen aspiration towards martial arts.

As a pure martial artist, Tang Sen had little desire for power. Even the position of First Head of the Martial Hall paled in comparison to the importance of his wife. His initial actions in sweeping the Battle Hall were just to provide his wife with a better life.

To Tang Zhi, Tang Xing might just be a lineal clansman with exceptional talent, a world apart from Tang Luo. However, in the eyes of Tang Sen and Xu Shuhui, Tang Xing was merely their eldest son, who received slightly more affection since Tang Sen, having breached the Fierce Realm, was unlikely to have more children.

If the clan leader’s decision led to the death of their beloved younger son in the Minor Spiritual Realm, no one would dare to protest, but Xu Shuhui would undoubtedly go mad. The actions that a family-centered First Head of the Martial Hall would take in such a situation would hardly need explanation.

Clan leader Tang Zhi stared into Tang Luo’s eyes, aware that he wasn’t joking, but held his own stance. “Elder Luo, although you may know me well, we can’t predict the demon king’s next move from a thousand years ago. If Luo were to disperse his power and enter the Spirit Realm with his Mortal Realm cultivation to combat the Demon King’s tactics, I could not stand by. Unless Elder Luo can convince me otherwise, he will not be allowed into the Minor Spiritual Realm, even if he insists on dispersing his power.”

Every gifted martial artist has the utmost confidence in their martial arts journey. In their minds, the word “lose” doesn’t exist until they’ve experienced a crushing defeat. The strength or weakness of their adversary is always objective. If the Demon King from a thousand years ago was but a fierce beast just beginning to gain consciousness, then Tang Luo, with his Mortal Realm cultivation, would face certain death upon encountering it. However, the Nine-tailed Fox Demon was an existence so formidable it took even Saint Han careful planning to defeat it.

Impressively, even if 99% of the traps set in its peak period were inaccessible, as long as 1% remained, it could slaughter all emerging mortals without exception.

Although Tang Zhi’s martial arts level was only at the peak of transformation, he was well aware of the vast differences between each martial arts realm. Falling behind by just one level would mean a threefold decrease in the body’s baseline values, while a gap of two realms would result in a thirtyfold difference!

Only with external support could the challenge of transcending realms be remotely possible. As seen when the son of the Xu Clan’s sacred land faced Feng Wendong, who had stepped into the Fierce Realm for just ten years, he needed to rely on the power of the Divine Sword and Divine Armor.

It’s not that Tang Zhi underestimated Tang Luo, he simply didn’t believe a martial artist of the Mortal Realm could turn the tables in the face of the Demon King’s arrangements.

Seeing the firm look in the clan leader’s eyes, Tang Luo knew that he wouldn’t let him enter the Minor Spiritual Realm unless he revealed his trump card. But in relation to the comfort of the little ones, hiding his true strength was of no importance.

“Then observe what I rely on!” Staring at Tang Zhi, Tang Luo released the spiritual power within the Marshal Star, injecting it into the spiritual array. The explosive surge of the unity of spirit and intent erupted in the underground lava cave, and the divine runes on his arms glowed brightly.

Tang Zhi remained impassive, for impressive cultivation speed in his eyes didn’t count as a trump card. Because one’s potential was only assessed if it could be converted into tangible strength; otherwise, it would just be considered latent talent.

Ji Fu, watching Tang Luo’s actions, was also puzzled. He was aware that Tang Luo had cultivated the Undying Battle Body to the ninth grade, but even a martial artist as experienced as Ji Fu didn’t have even a few divine runes on his hands. Merely possessing a few extra divine runes didn’t make a significant difference to a martial artist of the Mortal Realm.

As everyone was at a loss, the divine runes on Tang Luo’s arms amazingly expanded. His body inflated like a balloon, his muscles bulging like rocks piled onto his body.

“Sizzling sounds”

His black, gold-embroidered training clothes ripped open, revealing muscles as hard as raw iron.

Under the glow of the divine runes, he grew taller and taller. Originally around 1.6 meters tall, he expanded to 1.8 meters. His training clothes clung tightly to his prominent muscles, revealing the deep crevices between his muscle junctions. Even through his clothes, one could feel the immense power contained within his body.

“Snap”

His clothes couldn’t withstand this transformation and split open, revealing a physique as formidable as a heavenly deity inside.

Aided by the flickering silver light, Tang Luo’s arms thickened dramatically, bearing a shocking resemblance in size to his legs. His palms that hung by his sides were even nearing his knees.

This transformation shocked everyone in the lava cave. Only Ji Fu, observing the changes in Tang Luo’s body, spat out a few cold words: “Divine Ape Battle Body!”

The appearance of this legendary physique, perfectly suited for cultivating the Undying Battle Body, in front of him left Ji Fu with an overwhelming sense of incredulity.

The Undying Battle Body was in the end a world-renowned secret technique, created by the ancestor of the Han Family who studied the ancient divine beast, the Extended-Arm Divine Ape. It allowed humans to break physical limitations just like the Divine Ape, theoretically reaching the point of being invincible, even against gods.

However, despite the similar physiques of the Divine Ape and humans, there were still significant differences. This resulted in a decrease in the accuracy of the spiritual array engravings when humans practiced the Undying Battle

Body.

After Saint Han had cultivated the Undying Battle Body to the second grade, he posed a painful truth to his successors. It would be almost impossible for humans to cultivate the Undying Battle Body to the highest realm, the first grade.

Etching a series of spiritual arrays into the body, every single divine rune had isolated spiritual arrays yet still resonated with others. Any ten divine runes overlapping would result in a larger array being formed with the Undying Battle Body. However, as more and more spiritual arrays were activated within the body, the precision to trigger them needed to be even higher.

Perhaps a little deviation in some spiritual points within each divine rune wouldn’t affect the structure of the spiritual array. But when it came to the point of coordinating more than ten thousand spiritual points within thirty few spiritual arrays, it was impossible to engrave any more spiritual points. Despite emphasizing control over spiritual power, you could only cultivate the Undying Battle Body up to the second grade. The so-called godly physique was a talent for perfect control over every strand of spiritual power within the body, and it was already the limit of human power.

However, in terms of cultivating the Undying Battle Body, to form the final ten divine runes flawlessly for physical proof of accomplishment, they must be accompanied by compatible natural gifts.

That is to say, an individual ressembling the Divine Ape closely, with their main feature being thick arms that hang past the knees.

Such individuals cultivated the Undying Battle Body with twice the result for half the effort and had the opportunity to reach the peak of the Undying Battle Body—the first grade..
