Standing on the white steps, Ye Tianchen had endured significant hardship, suffering greatly to reach the platform above. Breaking through the simple Body Realm is much more challenging than the Cultivation Realm, something Ye Tianchen hadn't expected. Yet, despite being battered and broken, he never gave up or thought of surrendering. His sole belief was to shatter it, break through this barrier, and make himself stronger.

Bang!

Another punch, Ye Tianchen struck again at the mirror-like wall ahead, but it remained unmoved. Looking at his right fist, blood was already flowing, and Ye Tianchen couldn't help but frown. This mirror-like barrier was incredibly formidable. The power of his physical body, though still far from the legendary strength of the Ancient Alien Race's offspring, was enough to smash a mountain with a punch. Yet he couldn't shatter this mirror-like wall, just how sturdy was this barrier?

"I am now in the virtual realm of my own physical body, akin to a person's spiritual world. Everything here reflects the power of the body. Breaking through the Cultivation Realm requires overcoming the symbolic Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation, while breaking through the Body Realm requires shattering these barriers step by step, ladder by ladder, so that the physical body's power can reach a new level," thought Ye Tianchen.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Unable to think of a better strategy for now, Ye Tianchen resorted to the most straightforward approach: continuously swinging his fists at this mirror-like barrier. Every punch carried a remarkable power that could even shake this virtual realm of his physical body. But it wasn't enough to break the mirror-like wall. Without breaking it, Ye Tianchen knew he couldn't enhance his physical body power, a truth he understood well.

He didn't know how many punches he threw or how long it took—Ye Tianchen was exhausted, drenched in sweat, with both hands bloodied. The white bone could even be seen, indicating how many punches he swung and how much physical power he used, all to no avail, like a mud ox disappearing into the sea. The mirror-like wall didn't even show a single crack.

Finally, too exhausted to continue, Ye Tianchen sat down on the white steps. Looking at his hands, the wounds had disappeared, no longer bleeding. Because this is the virtual realm of the physical body, everything is illusory, not tangible. Yet, the pain and exhaustion were real to Ye Tianchen, feeling on the brink of collapse after so much effort and sacrifice, still blocked at the last moment. This breakthrough had taken nearly half a year, leaving him unaware of the outside world's circumstances. Reaching this point, retreat was not an option; it would only make future breakthroughs even harder.

"I cannot give up; no matter how bitter or tired I am, I must persevere for myself and those I need to protect!" Ye Tianchen said firmly, gritting his teeth.

Sitting cross-legged before the mirror-like wall, Ye Tianchen began to restore his physical body power. The continuous punches had left him utterly exhausted, barely able to muster any energy, forcing him to rest and recover.

However, as Ye Tianchen sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and immersed himself in his Divine, allowing his physical body's power to slowly recover, he suddenly sensed his Divine Thought seeing something. This something was on the mirror-like wall, where numerous runes manifested—each more complex and profound than the last, each in its place. Yet, when connected through Divine Thought, they seemed like a galaxy, wondrous beyond belief, leaving Ye Tianchen stunned. This was his first time seeing such a scene—could this be the mystery of Body Realm power?

Immediately, Ye Tianchen focused entirely, extending his Divine Thought as if his Primordial Spirit had emerged, using his Divine Thought to approach the mirror-like wall and start observing carefully, even using Divine Thought to touch. Observing these runes bit by bit, Ye Tianchen believed that breaking this mirror-like wall required starting with these runes. Only by understanding them thoroughly could he break them. Using brute force to shatter the mirror-like wall was exceedingly difficult—at least with his current strength, it was impossible.

Gradually understanding, time unknowingly flew by. Ye Tianchen lost track of how long he spent completely immersed in the mystery of the runes. They held not only the secrets of breaking through his physical body power but also the secrets of enhancing human body power. This was an unprecedented opportunity for him, perhaps never to be encountered again, making Ye Tianchen cherish it all the more.

Time flew by, and Ye Tianchen was utterly absorbed. When he finally opened his eyes, a surge of physical body power radiated from them, reaching the extreme. His entire being was filled with a sense of power, without a trace of Martial Arts True Power—only pure physical body strength. Ye Tianchen stepped forward, encountering no resistance. He didn't know how much stronger he had become; his physical body power had unknowingly increased significantly. With a single belief in mind: this punch must shatter the mirror-like barrier.

Ye Tianchen approached the mirror-like barrier, first touching the smooth mirror with his right hand. As for the complex runes on it, without powerful Divine Thought, they couldn't be fully observed. Ye Tianchen didn't stop; slowly caressing the mirror-like wall, suddenly, he grasped tightly, and a power surged forth, transforming into a True Dragon. This wasn't the application of Martial Arts Divine Skill or the transformation of Martial Arts True Qi but a pure demonstration of physical body power—one punch, invincible under the heavens, with Ye Tianchen exuding such momentum.

Bang!

He punched, and with that punch, a roar of a True Dragon was heard. This was his pure physical body power, without any embellishments—no use of Martial Arts Divine Skill or Martial Arts True Qi, just pure physical power. He attacked, and in his confident gaze, a brightness shone.

Roar!

His physical body power transformed into a True Dragon, charging at the mirror-like wall, shaking the entire virtual realm of the physical body. Yet Ye Tianchen remained unmoving, coldly watching as his punch's force turned into a True Dragon, striking the mirror-like wall...

Boom!

A thunderous crash, a crack appeared. The mirror-like wall was truly sturdy. Ye Tianchen had given everything, understanding so much, reaching a high level of comprehension in Body Realm power, yet a single punch only produced a crack. How strong is this power?

"Again!"

"Again!"

"Again!"

With each shout, Ye Tianchen swung another punch. On the tenth punch, the mirror-like wall blocking his path shattered, finally breaking through!

Whoosh!

The sound of wind—Ye Tianchen shattered the mirror-like wall, stepping forward, moving step by step to the peak of the white stairs. He gazed at another stairway in the distance, far beyond his reach, seemingly dividing two worlds. Ye Tianchen understood that this was the stairway to the Emperor Realm of physical strength, entirely out of his current league—breaking through to the Emperor Realm was nearly impossible.

"The Emperor Realm, whether physical or Martial Arts cultivation, once attached to the word 'Emperor,' symbolizes a Supreme Strong. Even though my current Body Realm has reached the Late Stage Martial Saint, my Martial Arts cultivation remains at Mid-stage Martial Saint. Even if the cultivation reaches Late Stage Martial Saint, it's still challenging to attain the Emperor Realm. The Emperor Realm is another level entirely, having blocked countless heavenly talents throughout history. Even reaching the Peak Realm of Late Stage Martial Saint, it seems only a step away from the Emperor Realm, yet the difference is as vast as heaven and earth—worlds apart. The road ahead is long..." thought Ye Tianchen.

He gazed at the distant, unreachable stairs. Even though they were visible, it felt like they were ten thousand leagues away—the Emperor Realm ladder of the physical body, the ladder of the Emperor Realm, when could he touch it? When could he reach it?

Whoosh!

Suddenly, within the galaxy-like realm of the physical body, a starlight descended and entered Ye Tianchen's body. At this moment, Ye Tianchen felt his physical body power had broken through, filled with a sense of overwhelming strength, like an ocean. His physical body power had advanced, reaching the Late Stage Martial Saint Realm. (To be continued.
