Xia Duoduo reminded, "Please remember, Young Master, although the Swallowing Body is formidable, if you wish to devour a living being’s innate talent, the host’s Realm, Combat Power, and Constitution must all be superior to the opponent’s. The strength of a Constitution is graded in the same way as the Martial Arts Realms. In any case, every Constitution must be cultivated to increase its strength. Your Constitution, Young Master, must currently be at the Earth Grade."
The grades of Constitution strength, from highest to lowest, are: Emperor, Saint, Monarch, King, Heavenly, Earth, Mysterious, Yellow, and Mortal.
Within a radius of ten thousand miles, a Heavenly-Grade Constitution was the strongest.
Long Chen’s Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Body was ranked as Earth Grade solely because it cultivated Dragon Blood. Even if the Dragon Blood he currently cultivated was just ordinary, it was still enough to nourish his Constitution directly to the Earth Grade. In fact, the Dragon Blood of the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Body starts at the Earth Grade, surpassing the initial grade of any other Constitution!
Long Chen’s gaze flickered. This Tang Le’s aura is at the War Master Realm Ninth Layer Heaven, the same realm as mine. I don’t know his true combat power yet, but it shouldn’t be greater than mine. Thanks to the Third Layer of the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Formula, which boosts my combat power by three Layer Heavens, I am effectively a Half-step War Maniac. And not just any ordinary Half-step War Maniac, but the strongest combatant below the War Maniac Realm, reigning supreme over all others! If I were to use the Divine Demon Secret Technique, Dragon Blood Boiling, my realm would surge from the Ninth Layer of the War Master Realm to the Ninth Layer of the War Maniac Realm. At that point, adding the boost from the Third Layer of the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Formula, my combat power would reach that of a Half-step War Sect!
"Young Master, you need not worry," Xia Duoduo said. "Even if this person’s Realm, Combat Power, and Constitution are all greater than yours, he cannot devour your innate talent. The Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Body is the strongest Constitution of all time. At most, the Swallowing Body can only devour your battle qi."
Long Chen was rendered speechless. To have one’s battle qi devoured is more than enough to be fatal. A martial artist’s combat power relies entirely on battle qi. Even though I cultivate Dragon Blood, I still utilize battle qi in my techniques. If it were all devoured, wouldn’t I become a mere mortal, powerless to fight back and ripe for the slaughter? The only reason Su Miaoyu lost was that her battle qi was severely depleted. She was so weakened that I could have easily defeated her without even using the Divine Demon Secret Technique, Dragon Blood Boiling!
"The Swallowing Body is truly formidable!"
Suddenly, Long Chen swept his sleeve, pulling the ring from the ground directly into his hand. Since the Swallowing Body couldn’t devour the innate talent of his Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Body, it was time to test if Tang Le’s power was even strong enough to devour his battle qi!
"What are you doing, Long Chen!" Chen Yao was greatly alarmed. She wanted to stop him, but it was too late. She never imagined that Long Chen would actively reach for the ring, especially after she had already warned him!
"Steward Chen, you needn’t worry. It’s harmless," Long Chen replied, casually sliding the ring onto his finger.
The result was, indeed, no harm at all. He hadn’t lost even a shred of battle qi! This indicated that Tang Le’s Realm, Combat Power, and even his Constitution were all inferior to Long Chen’s!
"This!" Chen Yao was stunned speechless. The crowd’s eyes widened, all of them staring at Long Chen in disbelief. Nobody expected that Tang Le’s Poison Physique would fail to harm Long Chen in the slightest!
"Interesting!" Tang Le squinted, studying Long Chen with immense surprise. He, too, had not expected the newcomer Long Chen to be so formidable.
"Is your Constitution already an Earthly Body?" Chen Yao suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone present was shocked. "Up to now, only those with an Earthly Body have been immune to being devoured by Tang Le!"
"Among the younger generation in the Sect, only three people have cultivated their Constitution to an Earthly Body: Chu Lingjun, Shangguan Pojun, and Tuoba Beast!"
"Could Long Chen be the fourth person with an Earthly Body?"
Hearing this, Long Chen nodded slightly. It seemed that while the Sect didn’t know Tang Le possessed the Swallowing Body, they had experimented and discovered he couldn’t devour an Earthly Body.
"It really is an Earthly Body!" everyone gasped in shock.
Chen Yao suddenly grew serious and said, "Fatty Tang cannot be trusted. To avoid any accidents, you should stay with me tonight!"
