High-level martial arts: Starting with a heart of steel, stats crush everything.

[Permanent Hero Template: Activates for 120 minutes, then has a 12-hour cooldown, and can be used an unlimited number of times.]

Such a generous reward can only mean one thing.

Those three question marks represent huge trouble, even one that could endanger one's life.

No, it may not necessarily be about your own life; it could also be about the success or failure of the entire challenge mission.

Chen Mo glanced at the Darkin Greatsword in his system inventory and felt much more at ease.

As long as he doesn't encounter any overly formidable opponents, he should be fine.

The level of Aatrox's strength in this world is hard to pinpoint, but he's not among the strongest in the League of Legends universe.

"Demigod, Human Martial... or Earth Martial?"

Having witnessed Elder Zero One's strength, Chen Mo was certain that Tianwu would be considered a T0.5 level even in the Rune Continent.

He might only be slightly weaker than the Dragon King, but much stronger than demigods like the Bear.

As for the few remaining buffs, Chen Mo was reluctant to use them.

Although they're all available in the BUFF shop, he simply can't afford them.

He now only has two Infinite Firepower buffs and one Steel Heart left to boost his combat power; the Ascension Mode buff has been used up.

Fortunately, he still has one buff to choose from, so he'll keep it just in case.

These one-time hero templates are used once they're used, unlike something as precious as a hardened heart.

After calming his mind, Chen Mo sat cross-legged once more, mobilizing the perfect blood essence within his body to release the power of the five internal organs and the five elements.

After this period of pursuit, Chen Mo has gradually mastered the techniques for sublimating the Immaculate King Body.

Although the speed is a bit slow, the progress is quite stable.

Chen Mo was even certain that he would complete the sublimation of the Immaculate King Body within three days.

"Come on, I'm the man who will leave my mark on history."

Chen Mo was quite looking forward to the upcoming battle; what man could resist the allure of sealing the wolf's lair?

This sealing of Langjuxu also carries a strong flavor of revenge.

...

In three days, Kunlun Fortress has completed its final preparations.

The shield generator has also been fully debugged, and the released shield can cover 93% of Kunlun Fortress.

In fact, it's enough to cover the most important power module and the location where Chu Tianhua is; the other areas can be omitted.

Earth Tiger City did not sit idly by and wait for its demise; the war between the two sides entered a rather primitive state of confrontation and siege.

"It's ridiculous to try and outgun Kunlun Fortress."

Chu Tianhua sneered. In order to win this war, he planned to completely empty all the ammunition in Kunlun Fortress.

They used overwhelming firepower to sweep through the enemy lines, while the warriors clad in their armored suits simply cleaned up the battlefield.

As for battles between high-end combatants, to be honest, the outlook isn't too optimistic.

Our side has a total of twenty Grandmasters accompanying Kunlun Fortress this time, plus Geng Lianhu, who is only half a martial artist, making a total of twenty-one.

Including Chen Mo's bodyguard, that makes twenty-two.

Of course, Chen Mo, an important combat force, was also taken into account, but even so, each of them, as a Grandmaster, would have to fight an average of 2.9 Abyss Venerables.

The problem doesn't seem too serious?

Geng Lianhu and Lai Fu alone could easily take on ten people at once, and Chen Mo seemed capable of doing the same.

Hmm, it's not a big problem.

"Their logistics are far superior to ours, so ending the battle as soon as possible is the best option."

Commander Hong had calmed down two days earlier. He did indeed yearn to be remembered in history, but he still needed to proceed cautiously.

"Definitely. After two rounds of artillery fire, they'll be basically crippled. Then it'll be your turn to step in."

Chu Tianhua had already calculated that their chances of winning this battle were over 85%, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, they were basically guaranteed victory.

"The battle begins in six hours. This time, we must..."

Commander Hong's eyes widened suddenly as he looked toward a spot inside the Kunlun Fortress.

"This is... Chen Mo?"

An almost violent pressure swept across the entire Kunlun Fortress, and everyone's eyes turned to the quiet room where Chen Mo was.

[Perfect steel body successfully sublimated!]

[Perfect Steel Body → Immaculate Royal Body!]

[Rewards have been issued!]

Storage space: 4m³ → 8m³

[The unlimited physical card has been issued to your system inventory, allowing you to materialize any equipment you own without restriction!]

Chen Mo slowly opened his eyes, and the violent pressure quickly subsided.

"Immaculate Royal Body?"

Clenching his fist, Chen Mo felt the newly formed energy system within his body.

That's right, it's an energy system!

Chen Mo now possesses both the blood and qi of a human and the energy of an abyss warrior.

Only now did Chen Mo understand why the human race's control over mental power had always remained superficial, because mental power needed to be combined with abyssal energy to unleash its full potential.

The Awakening Sphere did something quite simple: it made subtle modifications to the human body, allowing it to control extremely minute amounts of abyssal energy.

The Immaculate King Body not only gave Chen Mo a second energy system, but also made his originally poor aptitude soar to new heights.

Previously, he relied on his tough life to temper himself.

Now it's different. Even without using his life force, Chen Mo's tempering speed is the same as when he used it.

Furthermore, the Life-Saving Tempering Method is still usable, and his tempering speed has increased more than fourfold.

"This feeling..."

Chen Mo blinked; he seemed to see three massive, blood-red doors before him...

"The Achilles' heel?"

This is the most abnormal aspect of the Immaculate King Body.

From this moment on, Chen Mo's path to becoming a Heavenly Martial expert will be unobstructed. He only needs to proceed with the tempering and condensation step by step, and he can easily open the three life gates!

While other grandmasters were still searching for their life-saving techniques, the life-saving techniques had already appeared before Chen Mo's eyes.

The Immaculate Royal Body, a born king!

"I've suddenly lost all motivation..."

Chen Mo chuckled. If those grandmasters heard this, they would probably gang up on him and beat him up.

Unfortunately, the Immaculate King Body provides very little boost to combat power, which Chen Mo is somewhat dissatisfied with.

"Is the Sword Demon's greatsword considered equipment?"

Chen Mo suddenly remembered something very important: could disposable props be made into physical objects?

That way he can keep using it.

Disposable items can be materialized, but they remain disposable items even after materialization.

The system's response left Chen Mo somewhat disheartened; he still longed to transform into the Sword Demon anytime, anywhere...

Bang!

The door to the quiet room was kicked open, and Geng Lianhu rushed to Chen Mo, looking him up and down.

What did you do?

"Guess?" Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit cocky after ascending to the Immaculate King Body.

"Guess it's your second uncle, tell me quickly!"

Geng Lianhu clenched his fists, and the faint shadow of a large door appeared behind him.

"My Immaculate Royal Body has fully awakened."

Chen Mo decided not to tease the old man any longer, lest he get so angry that he suffers a stroke.
