When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 1040 - 398: Ascending to the Divine Position

Such a massive energy surged into his body, Li Xiu had no chance to refuse, his entire being was filled with terrifying Light Energy, his body was unable to bear it, but if he expelled it, Bu'Er's death would be meaningless.

Li Xiu gritted his teeth and forcefully operated the Light Planting Technique, guiding the fearsome power to merge with his Ultimate Light.

Li Xiu didn't know if this energy could replace the Divine Position Gemstone and push his Ultimate Light to the Divine Position; if not, his current body definitely couldn't withstand such dreadful Light Energy.

As Bu'Er's Light Energy was guided into the Ultimate Light, the Ultimate Light grew increasingly strong, encountering almost no obstacles.

Bu'Er's Light Energy was so accommodating that it hardly needed any effort to transform, already integrating into the Ultimate Light.

Naturally, Li Xiu was unaware that a large part of Bu'Er's Light Energy came from the Spirit Suppressing Stone, which was originally the source of the world and would not reject any power of this world.

As the Light Energy was transformed, the Ultimate Light grew stronger, the stele that had almost crushed Li Xiu was forcibly held up by him; no matter how much effort the mysterious figure exerted, he couldn't press the stele towards Li Xiu any further.

The more intensely he applied pressure, the faster the Light Energy integrated, and the stronger the Ultimate Light became.

Li Xiu's body had completely disappeared within the transparent Light Flame; from a distance, the stele seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall, suspended in mid-air.

The Ultimate Light grew ever stronger, yet it never quite ascended to the Divine Position, and Li Xiu felt his body was nearly melted by the Ultimate Light, transforming into something akin to a light body.

Li Xiu knew this was a sign that his body's endurance had reached its limit; if he continued transforming Light Energy without rising to the Divine Position, no one knew what the consequences would be.

The reason humans needed a Divine Position Gemstone to ascend the Divine Position was because humans did not naturally possess the seed of Light of Truth; they needed the Divine Position Gemstone as the seed of Light of Truth to transform their bodies once more.

This was essentially the reason for the Light Planting Technique; the difference was that the Light Planting Technique could use any Light Energy as a seed, whereas ascending the Divine Position required the seed of the Light of Truth.

Slowly unable to ascend the Divine Position, Li Xiu could barely hold on, but suddenly his body lacked much of the Light Energy.

"That guy finally moved." Li Xiu sighed slightly with relief; he had originally planned to use the demon spirit larva within his body to absorb some of the Light Energy, otherwise, just his own body couldn't withstand the seemingly infinite Light Energy.

He hadn't expected the demon spirit larva to be so patient, it was only when Li Xiu was on the brink of giving up that it made a move.

Li Xiu could clearly feel the massive consumption of Light Energy within his body.

As the Light Energy was absorbed by the demon spirit larva, Li Xiu's invisible body began to reveal white particles; those particles seemed like his cells, increasingly appearing, emitting a white glow.

The white particles multiplied, gradually connecting, forming bones and flesh, but the bones and flesh were unlike human flesh, resembling porcelain instead.

Even Li Xiu found it incredible; clearly he was still here, yet within his body another form emerged, perfectly overlapping but unaffected.

Before long, the white particles completed a full humanoid shape, resembling a humanoid monster draped in snow-white porcelain armor.

The monster's build was identical to Li Xiu's; the complete armor had no seams, the face was featureless, making it appear eerily unsettling.

Li Xiu exerted a slight force, gradually lifting the stele, and with his body's movements, the white monster-like form mirrored the actions; Li Xiu could sense its presence, feel it pervading his body, yet the two were not one, a peculiar yet terrifying sensation.

The mysterious figure seemed to realize he was facing a threat, roaring as he desperately unleashed power, pressing the stele down like a mountain.

Yet Li Xiu, holding the stele with a single hand, showed no sign of being pressed down; the snow-white armored hand remained immobile like a rock, regardless of how the mysterious figure exerted himself, unable to shake it at all.

Boom!

The transparent radiance on Li Xiu's body erupted skyward like fire, forcibly blasting the mysterious figure along with the stele far away.

The stele that hadn't suffered the slightest damage through the immensely terrifying battle was now shattered, with cracks appearing under this force; the mysterious figure's clothing was torn, wounds on his body gushing with fresh blood. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Originally as if any injury could promptly recover, the wounds on the mysterious figure now showed no sign of healing, continually bleeding.

Along with the transparent radiance, white radiance surged, and within that towering white light column, the humanoid monster spread its arms as if silently roaring at the sky, while undergoing bizarre changes.

The mysterious figure rose, grabbing the stele, eyes coldly fixated on Li Xiu, and as the light column gradually dissipated, he finally saw clearly what was inside.

The entire snow-white armored monster, with wings on its back resembling those of a butterfly; those wings thinner than paper, almost transparent, yet shared the same texture as the armor.
