Chapter 176: Physical Body Creation, Rivaling Heaven and Man

Chen Mo sat cross-legged in the cultivation chamber prepared specifically for him, the surrounding array already activated, continuously drawing Heaven and Earth Power from the outside.

Bian City has numerous arrays, and every single one was laid out by masters who exhausted their heart's blood. Even a common Naling Array possesses quite extraordinary power.

Regulating his state with every breath, he activated the three Shencang he had already opened: the Mysterious Aperture, the Divine Eyes, and the Divine Arms, one by one.

Countless Divine Patterns emerged and shone, drawing in Heaven and Earth Power.

The Divine Patterns triggered by the three Shencang arranged themselves within his body in a 'pin' shape, attempting to fuse the power of Heaven and Earth with the power of man.

Only in this way can a Martial Artist more quickly and efficiently seize power from between Heaven and Earth into their body.

This step is, of course, not that easy; Chen Mo is currently only regulating his state, preparing himself to break through this realm.

As the power of his Shencang was fully activated, the Shencang power flowed and circulated within his body.

Chen Mo took a deep breath, ensuring he was unaffected by external objects, his mood as still as an ancient well.

He had already activated the fetal breathing state previously; now, his physical body was complete and without flaws.

Vast and boundless Blood Qi, continuously gushing outward, flowed slowly from the Transformation Pearl; this was the tenth Mortal Transformation Chen Mo had undergone.

As the Blood Qi washed over him, specks of golden light emerged from within his physical body.

According to what is recorded in the Xuanhuang Indestructible Body, if one day golden radiance can flow within the blood, giving rise to all sorts of miraculous and extraordinary phenomena—

—that can be called a small success in the physical body, taking the first step toward becoming a saint through the physical body.

Chen Mo does not know how far he is from this realm, but in each Mortal Transformation, he is always drawing closer.

As long as he does not give up, one day he will be able to complete the entire journey.

Countless Blood Qi washed over his physical body and continuously merged into it; in this process, the three Shencang within Chen Mo's body also underwent transformation.

The Three Talents are Heaven, Earth, and Man.

The three Shencang of the Shencang Realm are derived from this; the three Shencang link within the body, transforming into a profound array unique to the Martial Artist.

The other two Shencang do not matter; the key point lies in the Mysterious Aperture Shencang.

This place is where the essence of the human body resides, and it is also the symbol of 'Man' in the array.

The strength of the Mysterious Aperture is the fundamental factor determining whether a Martial Artist can break through this realm, as well as the strength of the Shencang array after breaking through.

Chen Mo's physical body had previously undergone nine Mortal Transformations, and now it is in the midst of the tenth.

The strength of his Mysterious Aperture far exceeds what ordinary people can imagine.

As Blood Qi circulated, countless Divine Patterns erupted within the Mysterious Aperture, connecting into one with the Divine Patterns of the eye Shencang under the linkage of the physical body's Blood Qi.

Linking Divine Patterns is no easy task; even Chen Mo must bear the price of failure. Every time he fails, his physical Qi and Blood will tremble.

But it is only a trembling of Qi and Blood; his physical foundation is robust enough that he can fully withstand any number of failures.

This is just him; if it were any other Martial Artist breaking through, they would inevitably try cautiously step by step, and if one breakthrough failed, they might even have to try several more times.

The method Chen Mo is using now does not rely on any cleverness; he is simply relying on his own brute force.

This is a clumsy method, but the clever part of this clumsy method is that Chen Mo's brute force is strong enough.

With the Mysterious Aperture Shencang and the eye Shencang connected, the two powers gradually fused into one, and Chen Mo instantly felt a great difference.

He once again controlled the connected Divine Patterns, spreading them toward the arm Shencang, determined to make the power of the three Shencang fuse into one and evolve into an array unique to himself.

At this moment, the transformation brought to his physical body by the Transformation Pearl had ended, but Chen Mo was still in the process of breaking through and dared not be the slightest bit lax or careless.

One by one, the Divine Patterns linked together, the Shencang power condensed into one, and it began to resonate with Heaven and Earth.

Heaven and Earth shook, and waves of powerful Heaven and Earth Qi continuously emanated from Chen Mo's cultivation chamber.

Zhao Xuanxin was the first Martial Artist to notice this change; the boundless Heaven and Earth Power shook, causing the Bian City arrays to become somewhat unstable.

It was just that the strength of this power fluctuation made even him, an Innate Eighth Layer expert, feel a bit of palpitation.

He knew Chen Mo had good talent and that his cultivation breakthrough speed was very fast, but the fluctuations before his eyes were a bit too large!

Is this the Heaven and Earth shaking that a normal Innate Martial Artist can cause when breaking through?

When he himself broke through from the Innate Sixth Layer to the Innate Seventh Layer, the Heaven and Earth fluctuations he triggered were probably not even one-tenth of what they are now.

What kind of breakthrough is Chen Mo doing that it could trigger such a massive shaking of Heaven and Earth!

Zhao Xuanxin was very puzzled, but he still hurriedly arranged for people to stabilize the various arrays and cautiously observed the situation of Chen Mo's breakthrough.

The other Innate Martial Artist guarding the border pass naturally also noticed this situation, and his heart was naturally also astonished and puzzled.

But at this moment, he could only guard this place and wait quietly for Chen Mo's breakthrough to end.

The Divine Patterns linked together, gradually condensing into an array, until the final array connection was made, and the power of the three great Shencang linked into one.

Chen Mo suddenly felt that Heaven and Earth were vastly different; various attributes of Qi were spread throughout Heaven and Earth, and looking closely, within this Qi were laws manifested in Heaven and Earth.

These things can be called Dao Marks, the external signs of the change and circulation of Heaven and Earth Power.

And he was using an extremely crude method to plunder these powers into his body to provide a boost for his new array.

The so-called Creation Realm is to plunder the creation of Heaven and Earth into the body, thereby further enhancing the power of the Shencang.

Compared to the Shencang Realm, a Martial Artist in this realm plunders Heaven and Earth Power more quickly and efficiently.

And it is not merely plundering Heaven and Earth Power, but plundering the Dao Marks manifested between Heaven and Earth.

Storing these Dao Marks within one's own body and turning them into one's own use means that when the Shencang is activated again, it will receive the blessing of the Heaven and Earth Dao Marks.

Dao Marks condense into an array, allowing one to bolster oneself and suppress enemies.

Cultivation in the Creation Realm is divided into three Heavens; the First Heaven requires opening all the Shencang of the physical body and taking three thousand six hundred Dao Marks into the body.

The Second Heaven requires fusing these Dao Marks into one; in this realm, a Martial Artist can invoke Heaven and Earth Power to blast and kill enemies with a wave of their hand.

And in the Creation Third Heaven, the Martial Artist needs to refine the Dao Marks to the extreme, turning them into a Dao Seed unique to themselves.

At this point, the cultivation of the Creation Realm can be considered to have reached perfection.

Chen Mo is currently at the Zaohua First Heaven realm, and taking advantage of this breakthrough opportunity, he is continuously plundering Heaven and Earth Dao Marks from the vast Da Tiandi outside.

According to what is recorded in the cultivation manual, this is a matter with certain risks.

After all, it is directly and crudely plundering power from Heaven and Earth, which might cause Heaven and Earth to be displeased.

However, Chen Mo did not have this feeling; he even had the illusion that the world's consciousness was actively sending these powers to be absorbed by him.

With Bian City as the center, the Heaven and Earth Qi within a radius of several thousand miles was constantly converging, a scene that naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

Any Martial Artist in the world who had reached the Innate Realm, no matter how far away, could feel this fluctuation of power.

Several hundred miles outside of Bian City, inside a tall and magnificent felt tent.

Draped in colorful silk, the elderly Alien Races High Priest Xia Wuying was looking into the distance with his slightly cloudy eyes.

As the only remaining top Innate Expert within his tribe, he could feel with extreme clarity just how powerful and terrifying that fluctuation of power was—so powerful that it filled him with dread.

"High Priest, what should we do?" the Alien Races Great Elder, whose expression was equally grim, asked in a low voice.

Unlike Great Gan and Great Li, the Alien Races were divided into dozens of tribes, each with its own chieftain.

The tribes were equal to one another, and those responsible for leading these tribes were the priests and elders.

The priests were not necessarily the strongest, but they were certainly the oldest and the wisest.

As for the elders, any Martial Artist of the Alien Races who reached the Innate Realm could enter the Council of Elders to decide on tribal affairs.

Several chieftains of the large tribes, along with the remaining two elders, also cast their gazes toward Xia Wuying.

"Take out the silk we bought last year; we shall submit to Great Gan," Xia Wuying said slowly, his face revealing an indescribable sorrow.

"This..." several tribal chieftains hesitated slightly, truly unable to understand why they should surrender without even fighting.

Their invasion with the entire tribe this time was not really for the sake of necessarily defeating Great Gan.

One who could become a tribal chieftain might not be clever, but they were definitely not a fool.

They were not stupid enough to think that with their current strength, they were capable of defeating Great Gan.

There was not enough food in the tribe; besides plundering, there was another way, which was death—as long as enough people died, there would be enough food.

"What are you hesitating for? Do you think such a power fluctuation could be caused by an Innate Martial Artist!

Great Gan has produced a Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artist; they are about to push open the Heaven and Earth Profound Gate. To repel foreign aggression, one must first settle internal affairs; before pushing open the Heaven and Earth Profound Gate, Great Gan will certainly clear away all problems in the world.

There is still a covenant between Great Gan and Great Li, but what about us! What do we have?! If we do not surrender now, we will only end up dead and our tribe destroyed, with nothing left!"

Xia Wuying stood up abruptly and shouted in a thunderous voice.

Others could not see the situation clearly and did not know the circumstances, but he had lived for over two hundred years and was a top Innate Expert; he was clear about many things.

The Heaven and Earth Profound Gate was no secret; all Innate Experts knew of it, but many Innate Experts did not know how much longer it would be before the Mirage Sea submerged this world.

He understood that if Great Gan truly had a Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artist born.

Then they could only hope that the other party would show mercy for the sake of their quick surrender and leave them a path to survival.

But if they continued to attack Great Gan without knowing when to stop, they would only end up with their tribe destroyed.

"Listen to the High Priest, go do it quickly," the Great Elder also stated his position at this moment.

Those Acquired Realm Martial Artists might not understand, but as Innate Martial Artists, they knew clearly that this kind of power fluctuation could never be caused by an Innate Martial Artist.

At this very moment, in the Youming Blood Sea, Fengdu Niangniang revealed her form.

The breach between the Blood Sea and the human world had not yet been completely filled, so she could naturally also perceive the extremely intense Qi vibrations in the outside world.

The Master of the Blood Sea stood beside her, her aura still incomparably weak and also suffering from seal restrictions.

"He actually broke through, and so quickly!" Endless ripples stirred in the Master of the Blood Sea's beautiful eyes, and there was a hint of disbelief in her tone.

She had thought that Chen Mo could break through to the Creation Realm, be able to rival a Heavenly Human in strength, and manage to push open the Heaven and Earth Gate.

But she had not expected that his speed of breakthrough would be so fast.

She was truly shocked at this moment; for a thousand years, she had seen too many geniuses and heroes, and none of those people could compare to Chen Mo now.

"Indeed, it seems my Human Race has produced another top genius," Fengdu Niangniang said with a gentle smile, her tone somewhat surprised, but more filled with admiration.

She had lived for too long an era and had seen too many geniuses; Chen Mo was indeed talented. But compared to those ancient Human Kings and Great Sages, he was not worth her being overly surprised.

"I want to leave the Netherworld. Since such a genius has appeared, the Heaven and Earth Profound Gate will open, and the Golden Age will arrive. I want to go and contend for it!"

The Master of the Blood Sea changed her tone, speaking with extreme determination.

"Are you sure?" Fengdu Niangniang frowned and asked cautiously.

As the Master of the Netherworld, she could naturally let someone leave the Netherworld; the reason she had not let the Blood Sea leave before was because she could confirm that her cultivation technique had gone awry, leading to a deviation.

Under such circumstances, letting her out—let alone breaking through to the Heavenly Human Realm—would be lucky if she didn't continue to suffer a deviation and die.

Keeping her in Youming Jie allowed her to at least continue to watch over her to prevent a greater mishap.

And later, Chen Mo controlled the Heaven and Earth Furnace, refining her entire cultivation clean, and the problem of the deviation naturally disappeared along with it.

"Sure!" The Master of the Blood Sea's tone was resolute, her Divine Sense clear.

…………

Inside Bian City, Chen Mo's breakthrough was already nearing its end; he could feel that he had incorporated a total of nine hundred Heaven and Earth Dao Marks into his body.

In the future, when he struck, he could use these nine hundred Heaven and Earth Dao Marks to further stimulate the resonance between his Divine Storehouse and the heavens and earth.

His own physical strength had also greatly increased; he now had a massive strength of one hundred and eighty thousand catties with a shake of his arms.

His physical body was refined to the extreme, with dots of golden light nourishing his Blood Qi; the methods of ordinary Innate Martial Artists were no different from scratching an itch when used on him.

Exhaling a long breath of turbid air, his mind slightly relaxed, Chen Mo put away the Putan beneath him and stepped out of the cultivation chamber.
