system’s prompt fading away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Jun Xiaoyao’s mind, forty-nine images of the Battle God Scroll immediately appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of these forty-nine images bore the silhouette of an ultimate warrior, supreme in might and mastery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some held battle spears thrusting toward the heavens, others wielded colossal axes splitting the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some battled heaven and earth, others crushed the primordial wastes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each one was a peerless Battle God, unmatched in aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within them were condensed the very essence of combat, containing the ultimate truths of divine arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the Battle God Scroll?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had assumed the Battle God Scroll would be some kind of cultivation technique or divine art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he saw it was neither technique nor divine art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strictly speaking, it was the supreme method elucidating the subtleties of martial arts and the mysteries of divine powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of the forty-nine Battle God images contained profound, mysterious combat essences and secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes: the Great Expansion number is forty-nine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These forty-nine Battle God images had already pushed the essence of divine combat to its utmost limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is exactly what I need.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes gleamed brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not lack cultivation techniques, nor did he lack divine arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he lacked was insight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was why his self-created primordial Dao divine art, Genesis, had yet to unlock its third form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not because Jun Xiaoyao lacked insight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because his foundation was too thin, lacking accumulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who create divine arts are typically experts who have lived over ten thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their experiences and horizons are immensely rich, like treasuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Jun Xiaoyao?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still too young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At twenty or thirty years old, among cultivators, he was no infant, but at best a novice youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao reaching this realm at such an age was already an absolute prodigy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His life experiences could not possibly compare to those of ancient monsters who had lived for tens of thousands of years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Battle God Scroll, however, perfectly compensated for Jun Xiaoyao’s lack of accumulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even one of these forty-nine Battle God images, if given to a prodigy to contemplate, could forge a Battle God.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not to mention all forty-nine—if fully comprehended, he might rival even the peak-era Luangu Emperor.” Jun Xiaoyao thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Luangu Emperor’s entire life was spent in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His combat experience and accumulation were extraordinarily rich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why he could create the Luotian Secret Art, a top-tier forbidden technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Battle God Scroll, in a sense, saved Jun Xiaoyao the time of accumulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he fully comprehended these forty-nine Battle God images, his understanding of divine combat would not be weaker than the Luangu Emperor’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might even elevate it to a new realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have a feeling: if I comprehend the Battle God Scroll and gain even a spark of inspiration, my primordial Dao divine art, Genesis, will evolve into its third form.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao’s self-created divine art, Genesis, currently had only two forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine Light, Divine Punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a fused attack combining both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that fused attack could not be counted as the third form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao was confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his Genesis could evolve a third form,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be far stronger than the combined power of the first two!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After obtaining the Battle God Scroll, Jun Xiaoyao immediately sat cross-legged beside the Divine Weeping Battle Spear and began contemplation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Mojie Imperial Prince had not yet arrived, he might as well use this window to preliminarily grasp the essence of the Battle God Scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Why did the Chaos Body sit down immediately?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many were puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With a major enemy approaching, he’s calming his mind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many assumed Jun Xiaoyao was steadying his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his opponent was no mere Top Ten Heavenly Kings-level prodigy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a true Supreme Prodigy, one of the Seven Imperial Princes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No young genius from the foreign lands could remain unmoved facing one of the Seven Imperial Princes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They naturally did not know Jun Xiaoyao was contemplating the Battle God Scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time slipped away, second by second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What puzzled everyone was that Mojie Imperial Prince did not arrive quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if he deliberately delayed, forcing Jun Xiaoyao to wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I get it—psychological warfare. Mojie Imperial Prince wants the Chaos Body to feel pressure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly. The longer he waits, the more his mindset wavers. Mojie Imperial Prince’s psychological tactic is brilliant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only the academy disciples, but even the Elders sighed in admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of the Seven Imperial Princes, Mojie Imperial Prince was truly extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True mastery shows in the details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just this single tactic of delay revealed Mojie Imperial Prince’s meticulous mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder if the young man can withstand such pressure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Lao gazed at Jun Xiaoyao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao remained seated, eyes closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this short time, Jun Xiaoyao had preliminarily grasped the subtleties of several Battle God images.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So this is it—the Battle God Scroll hides such a profound method, requiring extraction.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao suddenly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this brief span, he had extracted an essence from the Battle God Scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Battle Saint Art!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One method understood, all methods understood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This method could deduce all divine arts, simulate all combat techniques!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the very core of the Battle God Scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao had grasped this essence merely upon initial contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undeniably, his talent was monstrous beyond measure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outsiders naturally knew nothing of Jun Xiaoyao’s gains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Mojie Imperial Prince learned that his deliberate delay had merely helped Jun Xiaoyao unlock a new art,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d probably spit blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following time, Jun Xiaoyao further extracted scattered divine arts from the Battle God Scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such as Battle Stele Hand, Mountain-Lifting Seal, Open-Heaven Fist, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though not earth-shattering great arts, they enriched Jun Xiaoyao’s combat repertoire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, as the Chaos Body, he could not use many of his old techniques, or his identity would be exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the Battle God Academy’s sky,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden path woven with cosmic laws stretched from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon this golden path, a transcendent figure strolled leisurely forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was an exquisitely beautiful man, waist-length hair fluttering gently in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skin was like lamb-fat jade, finer than many women’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around him hovered ten divine rings, enveloping his form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed like a beautiful deity stepped from myth, wreathed in the aura of cosmic law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mojie Imperial Prince had arrived!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s Mojie Imperial Prince!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Battle God Mountain erupted; all prodigies turned their gazes toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many had never seen a Seventh Imperial Prince-level prodigy before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merely one glance sent shivers through the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was truly a divine son descended from heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mo Jie Imperial Son’s aura was utterly transcendent, surging with supreme authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That tenfold magic power immune divine ring further rendered him as if a child of the gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overwhelming pressure and presence rushing toward them inspired awe and reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same moment, Jun Xiaoyao, seated cross-legged beside the Divine Weeping War Spear, slowly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their gazes met in the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven and earth fell silent; ten thousand souls held their breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A world-shaking battle was about to unfold!\u003C\u002Fp>",1196,"2026-06-20T23:29:55.914Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","4f9fa9daba47570331df1ec17e643a3ea52ae733e099cb88b88955e285d28888","starting-with-the-wasteland-sacred-body-chapter-964","starting-with-the-wasteland-sacred-body-chapter-962",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-wasteland-sacred-body-cover.jpg"]
