"Domineering Refining Saint Technique, devised by the Venerable Batian in the Ancient Era, is a Body Refining Method that, once cultivated to its limits, allows one to cleave nature apart and shatter the stars with a mere flick of the hand..."
A detailed account of information emerged in Ye Chen's mind.
According to the description, this was a peerless heavenly technique created by an ancient Great Power, a Body Refining Method that, once cultivated to the extreme, could shatter the heavens and earth, slice through the stars of the Outer Domain with a single breath, its might limitless.
Ye Chen couldn't help but take in a cold breath; this was indeed a supreme heavenly technique created by a generation's Great Power, such beings who could truly carve out their own heavens and earth.
And from the title of Venerable Batian alone, one could tell this was no ordinary figure. Because of his previous life's focus on Body Refinement, Ye Chen had come across some information about this Venerable Batian, who, even in the Ancient Era, was a supreme existence that dominated the world.
His Physical Body was invincible, his fists renowned for defeating all adversaries without a match.
Naturally, a Body Refining Method left by such an existence was extraordinary.
On the stone gate, thirty-six human Cultivation Diagrams emerged, each accompanied by a clear cultivation pathway.
Even with Ye Chen's discerning eyes, he couldn't resist giving a thumbs-up as he examined these diagrams.
Particularly because in his previous life he followed the path of cultivating the invincible Golden Body, he was keenly aware of the profundity of Body Refining Methods; although the thirty-six diagrams were merely the commencement that anyone could practice in the postnatal stage, the secret techniques contained within were profound and broad enough to trigger the human body's potential to its maximum limit.
Worthy of being a Body Refining Method created by Venerable Batian, focusing solely on cultivating an invincible Physical Body, if one were to practice these thirty-six diagrams to Great Perfection, surpassing the Heavenly Divine Realm would not be an issue.
Of course, Ye Chen knew that the Domineering Refining Saint Technique was far more than these Cultivation Diagrams in front of him; these thirty-six were just the preliminary series, and there must be follow-up diagrams.
True to its name, the Ancient Tower named by the supreme Sovereign Human Emperor himself was extraordinary indeed. This was just the First Pass, yet it presented such a powerful Magic Technique for trialists to cultivate, not to be underestimated.
Ye Chen was equally covetous of the Domineering Refining Saint Technique, even though he possessed the truly supreme and invincible Combat Saint Technique.
Unfortunately, the Combat Saint Technique was so exacting in its initial conditions that it was unimaginable; he estimated that unless his own Physical Body's strength could match that of a Heavenly God-Level fighter of this era, it would not be possible to cultivate it.
Facing such a tough choice, the appearance of the Domineering Body Refining Technique was indeed the best option.
Relying on his photographic memory, Ye Chen thoroughly memorized the thirty-six diagrams before him.
Suddenly, his head spinning, Ye Chen was forcefully ejected from the Human Emperor Tower, finding himself back in the collapsed house.
Were it not for the Tower-shaped imprint on his chest, Ye Chen might have thought all of this was merely an illusory dream.
He instantly realized that unless one undertook the Emperor's Trial, there was a time limit to the stay inside the Human Emperor Tower.
Ye Chen tried to enter the Human Emperor Tower again, but it remained unmoved, completely unresponsive, leaving him to sigh in slight frustration.
After all, being able to enter the Human Emperor Tower at will to cultivate in such an environment rich in nature's spiritual energy would yield twice the result with half the effort.
Unfortunately, that wasn't possible—it might be that the next entry would come only after meeting certain requirements.
Warm sunlight filtered through the gaps in the windows, casting fine, scattered patches of light, adorning the tidy room.
Inside the room, Ye Chen was maintaining a strange posture, squatting in place, slowly bending down while his arms twisted behind his back, his entire body contorting in an odd manner.
A scorching surge of warmth coursed through his muscles, veins, and flesh as he moved, urging him to groan out in the pleasure it brought.
But in the next moment, his entire body felt as if countless needles were pricking his muscles and bones, making even Ye Chen unable to stop his face from contorting; he lost control and, as if a hammer had struck his chest, was suddenly thrown back and crashed heavily to the ground.
"Truly worthy of the Domineering Refining Saint Technique; just the first diagram alone gives me the sensation of being torn apart. Not as overbearing as the Combat Saint Technique, but it's rather close."
"My current body is still somewhat frail; to become powerful, I must rely on the Domineering Refining Saint Technique, and to truly grow stronger, I will still need the Combat Saint Technique," Ye Chen thought to himself. The Combat Saint Technique was the most overbearing ultimate Body Refinement method in the world, suited only for those with the Combat Saint Body.
Because of its overbearing nature, ordinary people practicing it even slightly, if their Physical Bodies were not robust enough, would be torn apart by the technique. Even with a sufficiently strong Physical Body, to condense a real Combat Saint Body, one had to endure the most horrific pain of being torn apart, deep into the marrow.
This is also why the Combat Saint Body was known to be one of the most powerful constitutions in the world.
Although the Domineering Refining Saint Technique might not compare, it was quite domineering in its own right, nearly unbearable for his body to endure.
But it was precisely such methods that allowed the body to be strengthened over and over again, forged through thousands of trials.
Ye Chen took another deep breath and shouted again, bending his body down once more.
To become a Young Supreme of Ten Thousand Domains, one must have extraordinary willpower. Talent was indeed important, but more crucial was that indomitable courage and determination to never bend or admit defeat!
