Chapter 203: Haotian Jade Emperor, The True Form of the Heavenly Emperor!
[Tathagata: You monkey, I've had you pinned under this mountain for hundreds of years, and yet you still won't reflect on yourself. I'm doing this for your own good. You'll understand in the future, so what's the rush?]
While others were still arguing, Ancestor Minghe had already extracted the Primordial Blood God Fruit. Overjoyed and anxious upon obtaining it, he had no intention of holding onto it any longer and immediately sought to use it.
The Primordial Blood God Fruit was the size of a fist, blood-red, and inscribed with intricate runes brimming with immense power.
Ancestor Minghe swallowed it whole, and instantly, his abdomen felt like it was about to explode. A tremendous power surged through his body, reaching every limb, and his mind felt on the verge of bursting. It was as if his entire being was undergoing a profound tempering.
However, for someone like Ancestor Minghe, a powerful entity from the time of chaos, such pain was insignificant, hardly even an itch.
On the contrary, he was pleased, feeling his physical body strengthening rapidly. For someone at his level, the body had always been a weakness, and all methods he had tried to enhance it had reached their limit. Yet this Primordial Blood God Fruit offered him an unimaginable boost.
After enduring a thousand rounds of tempering, the Primordial Blood God Fruit's power had fully integrated into Ancestor Minghe's body.
The Blood Sea surged violently, and after the waves subsided, Ancestor Minghe reappeared, his physical body now immensely powerful.
He was extremely satisfied with this transformation. Though the fruit had the potential to bestow new abilities, Ancestor Minghe hadn't gained any, but he didn't mind. At his current level of strength, an additional ability wouldn't make much difference.
The subsequent rewards for the Body List rankings were fairly standard, mostly because the spectators were all beings of incredibly high stature.
Although the rewards were suitable for the recipients, they varied in appeal when compared to each other.
[19th place reward on the Body List: True Form of the Heavenly Emperor]
This reward was given to Haotian Jade Emperor. Even though many past rewards had been excellent, this one caught people's attention.
[Nezha: With this divine ability, the Jade Emperor's power will surely become even greater!]
[Taiyi Zhenren: Indeed, this is an immensely powerful divine ability, not much weaker than the previous rewards. It's not a bad prize at all!]
[Erlang Shen: For some, this divine ability might not be very useful, but for the Jade Emperor, it's absolutely perfect!]
[Haotian Jade Emperor: You all overestimate it. It's just a common top-tier divine ability, though it might be of some use to me.]
Although the Jade Emperor had gained the True Form of the Heavenly Emperor, a top-tier divine ability, he wasn't particularly thrilled. While it was powerful, the Jade Emperor himself was no weakling; he was already one of the strongest beings in the Primodial World.
The increase in power from this divine ability was limited. Moreover, mastering it would require significant time and effort, something the Jade Emperor might not have enough of.
Even though he had obtained this top-tier divine ability, it was uncertain how long it would take for him to fully master it.
[Sun Wukong: Old Jade Emperor, now that you've got this supreme divine ability, you must be quite pleased. How about we make a deal? Let me out from under Five Elements Mountain for a few days so I can stretch my limbs, and then I'll go back willingly. Deal?]
[Erlang Shen: Dream on! We all know your tricks. The moment you're out, you'll flee without looking back. Better stay put under the mountain.]
[Haotian Jade Emperor: Don't rush, Sun Wukong. After a few more years of testing, you will truly be free.]
[Sun Wukong: Bah! I don't believe you. You just want to keep me under this mountain.]
The Jade Emperor had no intention of letting Sun Wukong out just yet. Letting him loose would ruin all the plans for the journey to the west. Sun Wukong was a key figure in the entire process, and no mistakes could be allowed.
Despite receiving this top-tier divine ability, the matters ahead were far more important. Sun Wukong's role in the Journey to the West could not be jeopardized.
After extracting the True Form of the Heavenly Emperor, the Jade Emperor prepared to cultivate the technique.
As he began his practice, he found that the divine ability was extremely compatible with him. Surprisingly, it required far less time than anticipated to master, something the Jade Emperor hadn't expected. He had thought the True Form of the Heavenly Emperor was already incredibly precious, but now, having a top-tier divine ability that could be quickly mastered was beyond any ordinary value.
[Fuxi: The rewards just keep getting better. Even if they don't compare in raw value to the earlier ones, they're perfectly suited to the recipients. I wonder what the final rewards will be like!]
[Shennong: The Body List has been impressive from the beginning. I doubt the final rewards will disappoint!]
[Bai Ze: I'm eager to see what reward I'll get!]
After receiving their rewards, the powerful figures went to study their prizes, and the conversations in the livestream became sparse compared to the lively discussions at the start.
The subsequent rankings and rewards were also revealed one by one, but their significance was similar to those before. No new surprises emerged.
As the rankings moved beyond 15th place, the rewards continued to be secret techniques and divine abilities that enhanced the user's strength, similar to what Ancestor Minghe had received with the Primordial Blood God Fruit. No more rare treasures had appeared, leaving some uneasy. They feared that when their turn came, they might only receive some strength-enhancing divine ability, squandering this rare opportunity to be on the Body List.
