Chapter 923: Chapter 147: Heavenly Opportunity

"If that’s the case, then why did Lv Zejia from your sect take so long back then?"

Someone raised a doubt, as Zuo Chuan and Lv Zejia only had a half two-hour difference. Could it be that the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda took such a long time to assess the entrant’s strength?

"Once the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda determines the level of your physical body and Divine Soul, you must face a real challenge. Passing the challenge allows you to enter the next level, but failing means the end. This should be the Pagoda’s foolproof strategy to prevent underestimating the entrant’s strength."

Lv Zejia’s senior brother explained, "Junior Brother Lv spent quite a bit of time on the eleventh level’s challenge."

Ah, that’s how it is!

The Martial Artists on site suddenly realized, making everything fall into place.

"In this way, it’s possible that Lin Chen has been underestimated, having faced several challenges in a row. He should be between the fourteenth and fifteenth levels now, but it’s also possible that I underestimated, and Lin Chen is already on the seventeenth to eighteenth levels."

Soon, based on Lin Chen’s current time, a Martial Artist made a guess. But no matter how they speculated, everyone felt Lin Chen should not exceed the twentieth level.

The Divine Soul limit — this is no ordinary difficulty.

It is known that many of these Innate Powerhouses often pursued breakthroughs quickly, never achieving the Divine Soul limit. As long as they reached the standard necessary for breaking into the next layer, it was sufficient, and this standard is far from the limit.

There are few Martial Artists who let their Divine Soul reach the limit, as it’s harder than surpassing one Realm.

And for Lin Chen, transitioning from the Innate First Realm to the Third Realm took less than two years, so it’s even more unlikely he reached the Divine Soul limit.

The fourteenth to fifteenth floors were the widely accepted guess at this moment.

...

Inside the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda.

At this moment, Lin Chen was surrounded by thunderstorms. He had lost count of how many thunderstrikes he’d suffered. The thunderbolt snakes that burrowed into him spared not his body, which had already reached the extreme of the Innate Third Realm.

Thunderbolt Energy frantically pierced beneath his skin layer, amongst his muscles, deep into his bones!

Each inch of skin convulsed violently as if electrified, muscles tore and immediately reassembled in the residual thunder, becoming more resilient and dense, with a vague bronze sheen flowing.

Most intense were the bones, wrapped in silver-white electric light, emitting a dull "zzz" sound like war drums. The marrow seemed to be boiling, and the Innate Fire within his body, stimulated by the Thunderbolt Energy, began to surge and, together with the Thunderbolt Energy, further tempered his body.

Lin Chen felt like his body was thrown into the core of the Heaven and Earth Forge, with every bit of flesh and blood undergoing extreme destruction and reshaping.

On his skin, weak yet increasingly distinct golden patterns began to glow, crawling and weaving over his skin, finally gradually covering his entire body like living gold threads.

The Immortal Body, at this moment, was elevated to its fullest potential.

Roar!

When a three-colored thunderbolt struck from above, Lin Chen could no longer suppress a roar. The surging Innate Liquid within him surged like a raging flood freed from its chains, roaring mightily in the accompaniment of thunder!

The sound of clashing muscles and bones overshadowed parts of the thundering roar, producing dragon-cry-like explosive sounds.

A condensed, tangible golden Gang Qi shot up into the sky, filling the entire space with a domineering, dignified, and eternally indestructible aura!

This golden Gang Qi penetrated deep into the thunderclouds, violently scattering the stormy sea of thunder. The once overwhelming sea of thunder seemed more tempered, the descending thunder appearing more nourishing, infused with replenishing energy.

Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes; his eyes sparking like lightning, and his body emanating a heavy, resilient, boundless pressure that spread out like a mountain.

This body, just baptized by the thunderstorm, evolved under the Immortal Technique, stepping into the Third Layer of the Immortal Body.

"I want to initiate the next level challenge!"

Looking at the glowing sphere before him, Lin Chen was particularly eager at this moment to undergo a battle to verify just how much his power had surged.
