From past experience with advancements, consumption only increased when Martial Arts reached Perfection or when breaking through limits. Before that, all consumption was maintained at an average level. This meant that before reaching the fifteenth layer, the consumption for each layer of the Invincible Golden Body was the same.
The fifth layer of the Invincible Golden Body was already somewhat stronger than the twentieth layer of the Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Practice. The sixth layer, moreover, completely surpassed that martial art. Although merging consumed twenty Slaughter Value, in the long run, merging after breaking limits was undoubtedly worthwhile.
When Heavenly Martial Gang Qi breaks its limits, advancing each layer only costs eight Slaughter Value. The Invincible Golden Body, without breaking its limits, has the same advancement cost as Heavenly Martial Gang Qi. This martial art's rank has already surpassed Heavenly Martial Gang Qi!
