Chapter 2380: Chapter 2377: Saint of the Flesh

Ye Tianchen didn’t die!

Even though he really did take a full punch from Yudi head-on and vanished into the first-layer Fire Domain of Flame Valley, this bastard still didn’t end up body and soul annihilated with his spirit scattered. Everyone thought he was dead, thought he’d been turned to ash. But at the critical moment, Ye Tianchen still opened his mouth to save his brothers, to save Hu Gao, Little Zhu Yan, and the God Beating Bowl—these three troublemakers. This was a scene no one had ever imagined!

Who would have thought that after being struck by Yudi’s punch that was already closing in on the Saint Realm, under that kind of situation, Ye Tianchen could still stay alive?

Hearing the God Beating Bowl’s words, Ye Tianchen didn’t speak, didn’t say anything. He just smiled faintly and said, "You three troublemakers, back off. I’m afraid the power of this punch of mine is too big, it might end up injuring you too!"

When Ye Tianchen said this, Hu Gao, Little Zhu Yan, and the God Beating Bowl all froze for a moment. Then the three troublemakers all backed away, running off to one side. As for Ye Tianchen’s words, they still believed him. After all, at a time like this, they were powerless—only choice was to believe in Ye Tianchen. And Ye Tianchen wasn’t just a Demon, he was an anomaly. How much potential he had, how much potential hadn’t erupted yet—who could possibly know?

Yudi hadn’t expected this at all; he still hadn’t recovered from his shock. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t believe Ye Tianchen had taken such a solid punch from him yet hadn’t died. Was this a joke? A punch near the Saint Realm actually failed to take Ye Tianchen’s life? Just how strong was this guy? How did he dodge that punch of his?

"You just hit me with a punch and blew my body apart. But I survived, and I comprehended a different kind of power, a different kind of realm. So now, I’m returning you a punch!" Ye Tianchen looked at Yudi and said blandly.

"Return me a punch? Hahahaha, what shameless boasting. Once I unleash the full extent of my Physical Body Power, you’re on the back foot every step, only able to passively take hits. Even if you didn’t die, you can’t escape a dead-end!" Yudi still looked at Ye Tianchen full of confidence as he spoke.

Ye Tianchen smiled faintly, didn’t speak. Instead his right hand clenched into a tight fist. On his fist, there was no surge of Physical Body Power, no torrent of Martial Arts True Qi. It looked just like an ordinary person clenching his fist, that kind of feeling—giving people a sense of unreality. Was Ye Tianchen just forcing himself to act tough, or had he really grasped some different power?

"Hahahaha, this is that ’different power’ you comprehended? How is it even weaker than a normal person? Truly shameless boasting. I’ll definitely make your spirit scatter!" Yudi glared at Ye Tianchen with insane arrogance and roared.

Shua!

Ye Tianchen made his move. Right now he didn’t bother with extra words. After being blown apart by Yudi’s punch, Ye Tianchen seemed to have comprehended a new realm, a new kind of power. He had used the "Undying Golden Body Skill" within the Yijin Jing to re-forge his physical body. Even though, at that moment, Ye Tianchen could still see that Evil Power within his body—it had not yet gone out—but it was already suppressed to the extreme, unable to stir up any storms for the time being. At the same time Ye Tianchen felt that his own power had broken through yet again!

A light, casual punch, just like how an ordinary person would throw a punch, and the speed of the fist wasn’t even that fast, kind of like old grandpas and grandmas practicing their boxing. As Ye Tianchen’s punch blasted out, not only was Yudi sneering, his face showing complete indifference, even Hu Gao, Little Zhu Yan, and the God Beating Bowl felt strange. What was this brat Ye Tianchen trying to do? His troublemaker personality acting up again? Was he joking around?

"Hmph, a punch like that can defeat me, Yudi? Impossible, forever impossible..." Yudi snorted coldly on the spot, and blasted a punch force toward Ye Tianchen!

Hua!

Peng!

Ye Tianchen’s slowly swung punch still carried a faint trace of fist shadow, but it was only barely visible, far from being as powerful as Yudi’s punch. Because the fist force Yudi blasted out was simply too strong, strong to a slightly insane degree, practically pressing Ye Tianchen down completely. This wasn’t child’s play, but a manifestation of power!

Pengdong!

Finally, Ye Tianchen’s leisurely punch collided with Yudi’s powerful fist force. Judging from sheer sense of power and size, Yudi was still superior, so much so that Hu Gao, Little Zhu Yan, and the God Beating Bowl, those three troublemakers, all felt that this brat Ye Tianchen must be forcing himself, that he was actually already gravely injured and about to die?

"Hmph, an ant is an ant. Even if it struggles on the brink of death, it’s all useless..." Yudi snorted coldly with disdain.

Only, before Yudi could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a shock. Because he watched, eyes wide open, as his own blasted-out fist force abruptly shattered, completely shattered. And before he could even react, Ye Tianchen’s seemingly powerless punch solidly slammed into his body!

Peng!

Pu!

Yudi’s whole body flew backward, crashing heavily into the ground. Blood sprayed nonstop from his mouth. Yudi’s eyes were filled with terror, filled with an expression of utter disbelief. As for Hu Gao, Little Zhu Yan, and the God Beating Bowl, those three troublemakers, their jaws dropped even wider in shock, practically speechless!

No one had expected Ye Tianchen to send Yudi flying with such a punch. What was even harder to believe was that on Ye Tianchen’s body, you could hardly feel any fluctuation of Physical Body Power. This guy’s aura was completely restrained; that Physical Body Power in his whole body seemed to have merged into his body, merged into nature itself!

You could just imagine how shocking Ye Tianchen’s punch was. Yudi’s Physical Body Power had already closed in on the Saint Realm, practically reaching a level where very few beings could compare to him physically. Even if Ye Tianchen was a Demon, an anomaly, how could he, with such an unimpressive punch, send Yudi flying and seriously injure him? What did that prove? Did it prove that Ye Tianchen’s Physical Body Power had already surpassed Yudi’s?

Yudi possessed Physical Body Power that had already closed in on the Saint Realm. Didn’t that mean Ye Tianchen’s body had already become a Saint?

Body becoming a Saint—that’s the power of reaching the Saint Realm. To any Cultivator, to any living being in the present Martial Arts World, beings whose physical bodies have become Saints are as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. Through billions of years of development in the Martial Arts World since ancient times, how many beings have achieved a Saint-level body? Don’t even talk about the Ancient Alien Race and Demon Clan born with powerful bodies—among the Human Clan, whose bodies have always been extremely weak, it was all the more impossible. To walk the path where the body becomes Saint first—Ye Tianchen truly was one of the very, very few!

"You... why..." Yudi stood up, glaring at Ye Tianchen with eyes full of hatred as he spoke.

"In the second-layer Fire Domain of Flame Valley, I entered that Fire Well. My Physical Body Power was unknowingly refined once again. And then you blew my body apart with that punch, giving me a Nirvana Rebirth of the flesh. I have to admit, this was a chance encounter, the reason my body stepped into the realm of a Saint!" Ye Tianchen looked at Yudi calmly as he spoke.

What Ye Tianchen said was the truth. When he stepped into the second-layer Fire Domain of Flame Valley and reached the Fire Well’s location, he was already close to his limit. His Physical Body Power collapsed and then reassembled. During that reconstruction, Ye Tianchen discovered that, unknowingly, he had actually merged some Fire Taoist power into his Physical Body Power, making that physical power all the stronger!

At that point, Ye Tianchen also felt his Physical Body Power constantly undergoing tempering. During the tempering, streaks of firelight burned within his body, giving Ye Tianchen the sensation that his Physical Body Power was on the verge of an instant breakthrough!

However, at that time Ye Tianchen still wasn’t sure. Just then Yudi arrived, forcing Ye Tianchen to leave the bottom of the Fire Well in the second layer of Flame Valley and fight him. Otherwise, Hu Gao, Little Zhu Yan, and the God Beating Bowl—those three troublemakers—would have ended up body and soul annihilated.

But what Ye Tianchen hadn’t expected was that Yudi’s Physical Body Power was truly formidable, possessing fleshly strength comparable to the Saint Realm. Once this bastard unleashed that kind of Physical Body Power, Ye Tianchen really couldn’t withstand him and really was blown apart by that punch of Yudi’s, turning into a cloud of Blood Mist!

Yet Ye Tianchen did not die just like that. When he was blown into Blood Mist, he immediately used the "Undying Golden Body Skill," beginning to re-forge his physical body. Only, during this process, Ye Tianchen no longer suppressed his power, no longer held down that surging power within his body. Who would have thought that, once his body was completely re-forged, he’d feel an oceanic, boundless sense of power—this was a sense of Physical Body Power, meaning his physical strength had leapt forward enormously!

Body becoming a Saint—that was Ye Tianchen’s current stage of power. Inside Flame Valley he’d completed a leap in strength. Even though his Cultivation Realm was still at Mid-stage Martial Saint, with his Physical Body Power reaching the Saint Realm, it meant the battle power Ye Tianchen could unleash was already at the Saint stage!

"I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it! Since ancient times, there’ve been barely any beings whose Physical Body Power could reach my level. You can’t surpass me, no one can surpass me!" Yudi roared loudly.
