The Ascension Ladder is a process of a mortal transforming into a god.

Throughout all the heavens and myriad realms, there are countless ways to transform into a god, and naturally, countless different Ascension Ladders.

However, there are exceptions to everything.

Although most mortals aspire to transform into gods, there are still a small handful who scoff at gods.

They have no interest in changing the rules of the world nor do they wish to be bound by so-called authority and responsibilities...

This small handful believes that the mere existence of life itself is an incredible miracle.

As long as they can unlock their inner limitless potential, they'll be able to unleash power capable of rivalling the gods.

Thus, these beings train their bodies to become harder than steel, allowing their breath and heartbeats to erupt with extreme power in a short time.

Hence, a simple yet profound theory emerged—Body Sanctification.

In a sense, it is a branch of the kind of Ascension Ladder that explores self-potential.

However, while the Ascension Ladder ultimately seeks power and breakthroughs from the outside world, the "Primordial Sect" committed to Body Sanctification is different.

In the eyes of these rebels, who are at odds with the general populace, their body is a complete world, an independent system that can self-cycle just like the external world.

As long as they exploit their potential to the fullest, they could exist on their own even when detached from the world.

Seeking power from the outside only shackles their future, ultimately becoming a "lackey" like the gods, bound to fulfill the duties imposed by the world.

—No eating, no drinking, no breathing; refining the body externally, manifesting the universe internally.

In this regard, the "Primordial Sect" is more principled than the Celestial Beings who plunder the world and achieve greatness.

At the very least, the true "Primordial Sect" only believes in their physical form, only believing in this flesh treasure crafted by the Creator.

"I've heard before..."

"The true adherents of 'Body Sanctification' can often direct every cell in their body towards a common goal, unleashing incredible power as a result."

"I wonder if you've reached that level now?"

Gazing at Nagisa not far away, Dongjun's voice remained as breezy and nonchalant as ever.

"Are you underestimating me?"

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Nagisa caught a hint of contempt in Dongjun's words.

"I'm not underestimating you."

"I just think, with your personality, if you don't unleash all your strength before you die, you probably won't rest easy even after death."

When he said this, Dongjun paused his tone slightly before continuing.

"To prevent you from underestimating my power, I have to tell you in advance..."

"Though I've never fought a true Primordial Sect member, among the evil demons I've slain, quite a few have once captured and studied the abilities of the Primordial Sect."

"Thus, I have some understanding of the Primordial Sect's fighting methods."

As if to prove his point, the Azure Serpent's body suddenly swelled.

Intense energy and blood billowed from the scales of Azure Serpent, making it appear as terrifying and grotesque as a Demon God.

"This... how can it be?"

Staring wide-eyed in amazement at Azure Serpent, disbelief filled Nagisa's eyes.

Because Nagisa was all too familiar with this state of Azure Serpent.

Exploding all vitality and energy within a short period to gain power surpassing one's limits.

This power was something only those with perfect mastery of their physical abilities and a body trained harder than steel could use.

It was precisely because Nagisa had mastered this power that he looked down on those Ascenders and Demigods with blatant flaws.

But now, this power Nagisa prided himself on appeared on the very gods he despised most.

"Nothing is impossible; you're just too much like a frog at the bottom of a well."

With just a casual remark, Dongjun shattered Nagisa's pride, his expression remaining unchanged.

"In this Mountain and Sea Realm protected by the Creator, the gods need not pursue extreme combat power..."

"To them, there are more interesting pursuits worth researching and exploring than enhancing one's combat power."

"But beyond the Mountain and Sea Realm, a god who isn't skilled in combat can't survive."

"Especially for a meddlesome god like me, I've researched virtually all methods to enhance my combat power."

Upon hearing this, Nagisa fell silent immediately.

Only then did he realize that the god before him was not a native god of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

"Do you think this can scare me?"

When Nagisa raised his gaze to Azure Serpent again, his own body started emanating crimson energy and blood.

His heart began to pound wildly, blood flowed rapidly, and every cell in his body started operating in an overloaded manner at this moment...

—Body Sanctification Technique·Divine Mode!

......................................................

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Without utilizing any power belonging to a god, Azure Serpent clashed fiercely with Nagisa.

Though Dongjun wasn't using the real "Divine Mode," unable to engage every cell in this battle.

But Dongjun's massive physical size made him utterly overpower Nagisa in sheer physical strength and cell number.

This was also the biggest flaw of the Primordial Sect.

Their limits were determined at birth; few can defy fate and change it.

Of course, the Primordial Sect was aware of this issue as well.

Therefore, the truly powerful Primordial Sect never just solely enhance the material quality of their bodies.

Ultimate techniques are also what these Saints of Flesh pursue.

Just like Nagisa now...

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Despite being considerably inferior to Dongjun in overall power, Nagisa could still use mysterious techniques to break through defensives at critical points.

He never directly confronted Dongjun, fully exploiting his advantages Nagisa adopted a guerrilla strategy to repeatedly strike his weaknesses.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After several times of this, Dongjun immediately sensed that something was amiss.

Nagisa seemed to possess an incredible learning ability, quickly finding flaws in his techniques and abilities after brief contact.

Every move worked against Nagisa only once; it would be quickly countered the second time.

Even more astonishing, Nagisa would often integrate the advantages of Dongjun's techniques into his own combat system in a very short time after countering them.

Constantly fighting, constantly growing...

Nagisa was like a sponge soaking up water, continuously absorbing nutrients to improve himself.

[His brain cells are also operating in overdrive...]

Noticing the misty energy and blood emanating from Nagisa's head, Dongjun quickly made his own deduction.

While fighting, Nagisa's brain was rapidly simulating the upcoming clash.

Thus, what seemed like a simple skirmish had actually been rehearsed millions of times in Nagisa's mind long before.

This was the real terror of "Divine Mode," and also the strongest aspect of a Saint of Flesh.

Powerful physique, ultimate techniques, along with an unlimited trial and error combat simulation...

Theoretically, any battle with even a ten-thousand-to-one chance of victory would be a guaranteed win for the Saints of Flesh.
