In this life, Ye Chen actually possessed an Innate Sacred Body.
After learning this news, even he, who had lived two lifetimes, was profoundly shocked. Only after repeatedly sensing the familiar primordial power hidden deep within his blood did he finally confirm it.
Then, a brilliant, sunny smile bloomed across his twenty-six-year-old, youthful and delicate face.
Heaven truly had not treated him poorly.
In his previous life, it had nearly killed him, but in this life, it had returned him a body of Innate Sacred Body.
The so-called Innate Sacred Body referred to a Battle Sacred Body born innately.
In truth, the Battle Sacred Body might seem quite unfamiliar and unknown to ordinary cultivators at general cultivation levels. However, upon stepping into certain cultivation domains, one would truly come into contact with various pieces of information about the Battle Sacred Body, all of which revealed the heaven-defying nature of this physique.
What was the Battle Sacred Body?
The world was vast, the myriad realms endless, with billions of living beings and countless races, capable of giving birth to various special and powerful physiques.
Those who possessed these physiques were innately stronger and more talented than other cultivators.
Each of these special physiques was innately powerful, surpassing ordinary people. Generally speaking, each had its own merits, making it difficult to judge which was stronger or weaker; only through direct confrontation could the truth be revealed.
However, there were always a handful of physiques that could stand at the very pinnacle of the myriad powerful physiques, revered across all realms. Throughout the endless ages, no one had ever been able to shake their status.
The Battle Sacred Body could absolutely be ranked among them.
This physique was exceedingly rare in the world. Once it matured, it would inevitably become invincible across the world!
In his previous life, a significant reason why he had been able to reign supreme, sweeping through three thousand worlds without a match, was precisely because of the Battle Sacred Body.
Once the Battle Sacred Body achieved success, its golden body would be indestructible, impervious to all calamities.
However, it was worth noting that, unlike ordinary powerful physiques which were innate and inherent from birth, the Battle Sacred Body was, on the contrary, the strongest battle physique evolved and refined through continuous Houtian cultivation.
The prerequisite was to obtain the legacy of a Battle Saint, cultivate the Battle Saint Art, in order to refine the Battle Sacred Body. There was no other way to succeed, and only one person per generation could do so.
And to obtain this legacy, one needed the recognition of the previous generation's Battle Saint.
Ye Chen's previous life was that of a Battle Saint, having cultivated the Battle Sacred Body.
However, in his many years of knowledge from his previous life, he had never known of anyone throughout history who possessed an Innate Sacred Body; it had never been born. Perhaps only the progenitor of the Battle Saint lineage was.
Now, to his delight, he discovered that the physique he possessed in this reincarnated life was actually an Innate Sacred Body.
Once this physique fully awakened, it would possess boundless divine power, an indestructible golden body, and be invincible across all realms.
Moreover, the Innate Sacred Body was likely even more terrifying than the Houtian-cultivated Battle Sacred Body, possessing even greater potential.
This filled him with immense joy. He had originally thought he would need to work hard again, reaching the Martial God realm before spending much effort to refine the Battle Sacred Body. Now, it seemed all that was unnecessary.
Because it was an Innate Sacred Body, as long as he awakened the Sacred Body bloodline, he could directly become a Battle Sacred Body.
Furthermore, he was confident he could return to his previous life's peak state in an even shorter time.
He suspected that the birth of his Innate Sacred Body might be related to his parents or the entire family.
Because throughout history, aside from the speculated ancient ancestor of the Battle Saint lineage, no one had ever truly possessed an Innate Sacred Body.
But in his memories, it seemed no supremely glorious and powerful figure had ever been born within the entire family. He would need to ask his father, the family head, about this later.
Taking a deep breath, ultimately having lived two lifetimes, Ye Chen forcibly suppressed the boiling passion and excitement in his heart, calming himself.
Because he deeply understood that even an Innate Sacred Body would be useless if its bloodline potential remained unawakened.
If an ordinary person possessed an Innate Sacred Body, it would be useless. Without a specialized cultivation technique, it would be very difficult to awaken the Sacred Body bloodline, let alone grow powerful and embark on the heaven-defying path.
Only by obtaining the Battle Saint Art could one awaken the Sacred Body bloodline and grow strong. Because this was a supreme method created specifically for the Battle Sacred Body.
Ye Chen was very fortunate. His previous life had been a Battle Saint, having obtained the legacy of this lineage. Even though he had perished in his previous life, the memories of the legacy had not been lost, deeply engraved in the depths of his soul.
Filled with boundless excitement, Ye Chen sought out a particularly secluded courtyard within the mansion. It was a courtyard with red bricks, green tiles, artificial mountains, and a small bridge over flowing water. Originally a luxurious courtyard, reserved only for especially important figures in the family, it was now overgrown with weeds, having gone without repair or maintenance for many years, and had fallen into ruin.
Because someone had died here before, and it was haunted, once causing panic throughout the entire City Lord's residence, this courtyard was particularly eerie and quiet. Usually, no one entered or exited this place; even servants and maids would give it a wide berth, which spoke volumes.
However, it was precisely such a quiet courtyard that suited Ye Chen's intentions.
He went straight into the quiet house, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes slightly, exhaled softly, and attempted to circulate the profound art and mental technique of the Battle Saint lineage.
The Battle Saint Art, being a supreme profound art method created for the Battle Sacred Body, should also be able to activate the Sacred Body bloodline.
However, because the Battle Saint Art was too domineering, Ye Chen dared not circulate it fully. He could only attempt to start from the most basic part.
The moment the profound art began circulating, Ye Chen felt all the blood in his body instantly boil. A power so immense it was difficult to describe surged forth, as if a terrifying ancient ferocious beast slumbered within his body, now awakening.
Boom—
A terrifying loud noise erupted. Dazzling golden light overflowed from his body, then completely exploded, a brilliant, radiant expanse, incredibly eye-catching, flashing for an instant.
An extremely terrifying power overflowed in that instant. Everything within a three-zhang radius centered on Ye Chen was destroyed. The entire house collapsed with a thunderous crash.
Almost simultaneously, Ye Chen himself was sent flying backward, crashing onto the ground over ten meters away. Thin streams of blood continuously seeped from his pores, staining his clothes red.
Only after a long while did Ye Chen slowly climb up from the ground. Intense pain spread throughout his entire body. Even he couldn't help but suck in a slight breath of cold air, his face pale, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
Because just moments ago, a total of thirty-one bones in his body had fractured, and his muscles had been torn apart in countless places.
Now, even the slightest movement caused pain intense enough to make any ordinary person faint to spread through him.
This was the price of forcibly circulating the Battle Saint Art, leaving him severely injured.
"As expected of the Battle Saint Art, hailed as the most domineering. Even an Innate Sacred Body, if the conditions aren't met, will be torn apart."
Ye Chen gave a bitter smile. The Battle Saint Art was hailed as the supreme battle art, something only a true Battle Sacred Body could cultivate.
Because this was a supreme method created specifically to refine the strongest physique, the Battle Sacred Body. Only a truly powerful physical body could cultivate it. Otherwise, if the body's strength didn't meet the conditions and one forcibly circulated the Battle Saint Art, then the technique would no longer be a technique, but a demon that killed. The domineering cultivation method would instantly tear the cultivator's body to pieces, shattering both body and soul.
Even though this life's body was an Innate Sacred Body, the bloodline had not awakened, and the body was not strong enough, making it similarly difficult to withstand the circulation of the Battle Saint Art.
Fortunately, he had only circulated the most basic part of the scripture. It was also possible that it was because he was an Innate Sacred Body; otherwise, the domineering nature of the profound art would have been enough to tear him apart instantly.
But it had still cost him a price that left him severely injured and on the brink of death.
Ye Chen lay on the dusty ground, covered in blood. Now, with his bones shattered and flesh torn, even moving was difficult. He secretly regretted his carelessness.
This time was merely luck, but if he forcibly circulated it next time, he might truly be completely shattered by the Saint Art. This was no joke.
But now he was in trouble, covered in injuries, finding it difficult to even move.
Regarding this, Ye Chen had no solution, because he was no longer his previous self. He couldn't instantly recover from his injuries, and his cultivation was low, unable to circulate the peerless divine abilities from his memories.
He probably could only wait for someone else to discover him. Otherwise, if this continued long-term, it would be troublesome.
Hum—
Suddenly, a mysterious crescent-moon-like mark appeared between Ye Chen's eyebrows. It released a circle of hazy light that covered his entire body, and an even more mysterious power surged forth.
Crackle, pop—
Visible to the naked eye, the injuries on Ye Chen's body were rapidly healing at an astonishing speed.
In less than a moment, Ye Chen, who had been severely wounded and disabled by the backlash of the domineering Battle Saint Art, was completely restored.
Just as Ye Chen was stunned, a ball of light suddenly flew out from the Moon Mark. Then, the light dissipated, revealing an exquisite, small, yet hazy and radiant pagoda, spinning nimbly before him.
"Trial-taker appears. Possessor of the True King Seat, Qian Yue, qualifies for the Human Sovereign Trial."
"Human Sovereign Trial, do you choose to begin?"
