204: Contract God

Time rewinds more than two hours.

Relying on his formidable talent and Physical Body, Xu Le managed to withstand the fourth wave of the Heavenly Tribulation, though he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

All the contracted beasts in his hand had given their all, and even he himself was severely injured, only then managing to withstand the terrifying 800-meter-thick Lightning Dragon.

He would definitely die in the next wave.

But he did not give up!

Even if he were to die, it had to be a blaze of glory!

Looking up at the firmament, Xu Le's eyes suddenly lit up.

The idiotic Heavenly Dao has intelligence, which means it has a Soul!

If it has a Soul, then it can be subjected to Possession!

Take a gamble!

Thinking of this, Xu Le immediately activated Destiny Link, sharing the Skills and attributes of the Soul-Devouring Demon Spirit.

The world before his eyes suddenly changed.

The land, already ravaged by Devilish Qi, completely lost its luster.

The entire heaven and earth turned black and white.

The only color came from his nine contracted beasts.

To be precise, it wasn't their color, but their Souls.

Except for Kunpeng, the Souls of all the contracted beasts were like lamps flickering in the wind.

Only Kunpeng's Soul was like a roaring bonfire, directly illuminating a patch of land.

Besides that, there were gray shadows rippling in the black and white sky.

They were very thin, blending into the black and white world, almost impossible to see clearly.

That was the idiotic Heavenly Dao!

His gaze swept over; the gray shadows were everywhere, making it impossible to grasp them.

Even with the passive Soul Devour Skill, swallowing for three or five years wouldn't be enough to truly damage the Heavenly Dao.

It was too scattered, far too scattered!

In the vast Blue Star, it was everywhere!

But the next wave of the Lightning Tribulation would certainly not take three hours.

Xu Le's gaze continued to move, and relying on a mysterious intuition, he looked up and saw a massive shadow within the Lightning Tribulation.

It had almost solidified, and was even more powerful than Kunpeng's Soul fire.

Go for it!

Xu Le didn't hesitate for even half a second, directly activating the Possession Skill, and his Divine Soul charged into the thunderclouds.

Although the purple lightning hadn't struck yet, its power was not weak at all, and it was specifically effective against Divine Souls. In an instant, his Divine Soul was covered in wounds.

Xu Le hurriedly wrapped eight strands of divinity around his own Divine Soul.

Crackle, crackle...

The divinity was constantly being worn away by the bombardment of lightning, but fortunately, he was fast, and in an instant, he had already rushed in front of the Heavenly Dao.

Two strands of divinity vanished into thin air, and Xu Le pulled out two more, condensing them into a long whip, which he lashed onto the Heavenly Dao.

Soul Scourge

Whack, whack, whack!

The massive shadow swayed slightly, and the purple clouds in the thunderclouds paused for a moment!

It's effective!

Lash it again!

Xu Le swung the whip again, lashing out at the shadow with a crackling sound. The shadow seemed to have crashed, allowing him to act upon it.

With every lash of the whip, Xu Le felt the other's body stiffen, and the power of the lightning brewing around it trembled before directly returning to its original state.

Xu Le felt a surge of reassurance. If this continued, the Lightning Tribulation would never be able to form the next wave. With his magic power, he could lash it until the end of time, until he whipped the other party to death.

Whack, whack, whack...

The whip fell rapidly, the shadow's movements trembling, and its figure began to thin visibly to the naked eye.

Time slowly passed.

Xu Le had already broken 15 whips, and the shadow had dimmed significantly. The surrounding lightning continued to dissipate, and although it was still trying its best to gather, it was like the setting sun. A rough count revealed that fewer than a hundred bolts of purple lightning remained.

Not only that, but under the effect of the Soul Devour Skill, he had already swallowed quite a bit of black spirit, which was currently merging into his own Divine Soul.

The cost was merely the loss of five strands of divinity.

The last strand of divinity was also being consumed in the continuous lashing of the Heavenly Dao. He believed that within ten minutes at most, it would be completely wiped out by the surrounding residual purple lightning.

The shadow representing the Heavenly Dao suddenly moved.

Xu Le's eyelids twitched, and he vaguely saw purple lightning flashing inside the other party.

"Damn. Don't tell me I've pushed it too far, and it's preparing to self-destruct?"

Xu Le's heart tightened, and his movements, which he had previously found somewhat monotonous, suddenly became intense.

Whack, whack, whack...

The shadow's figure stiffened, the purple lightning within it calmed down, then began to flash again...

Whack, whack, whack...

After a bout of frantic lashing, the previous process repeated.

Suppressed by Soul Scourge, the other party's actions were constantly interrupted. Another three minutes passed, and the shadow raised a finger. Xu Le dared not loosen his grip on the whip and took that strike head-on with his shoulder.

It didn't hurt!

His health bar didn't drop either!

A scene suddenly appeared in Xu Le's mind: the human-headed, snake-bodied Serpent Mother, the black-robed God of Assassins, and an eyeball floating in the air were bombarding the Void Realm.

From time to time, a black bolt of heavenly lightning would strike down from the sky; that was Chaos Divine Thunder. A single bolt would be enough to shatter Blue Star and return everything to Chaos.

But against the prepared Three Gods, it seemed insufficient in power, and what was worse, the frequency was too low.

"Why are you showing me this?"

Xu Le's movements didn't stop; he had no time to think and continued to lash the shadow. His movements grew faster and faster. Not only was the last trace of divinity about to shatter, but the duration of Destiny Link was also about to expire.

Although he could use the traceless ring, the fatigue of the Soul-Devouring Demon Spirit could not be eliminated, and coupled with the lack of divinity, wanting to abuse the Heavenly Dao like this again would not be easy.

Whack, whack, whack...

The shadow pointed a finger again, and the scene continued: a crack had been blasted open in the Void Realm by the Three Gods; it seemed that a few more strikes would completely shatter the Void Realm.

Xu Le finally understood: the Three Gods were attacking this world and wanted to enter. If he didn't release the shadow, the Three Gods would directly shatter the Void Realm and enter this world.

Given the cruelty of the Three Gods, the outcome of them entering this world could be imagined.

Should he stop?

The thought flashed through Xu Le's mind and vanished.

No!

Putting aside whether this Heavenly Dao was doing its best to resist the Three Gods, even if it were, he would absolutely not stop!

Given his hatred for the act of becoming a god, Blue Star would absolutely not be able to produce any gods. Even if he kept surviving, he would eventually be completely wiped out by the followers of the Three Gods and the monsters.

Rather than stealing a life destined for death, it was better to fight for a life lived in a blaze of glory.

More importantly, he didn't want to die.

Xu Le guessed that this was the reason for Old Man Liu's suicide, but he was not Old Man Liu, and he wasn't as great as him.

"Go to hell!"

"Don't think you can disturb my heart!"

Xu Le accelerated his hand, lashing the Heavenly Dao at an even faster speed.

Whack!

A portion of the shadow was lashed away again, and the surrounding lightning finally vanished into thin air.

The Lightning Tribulation was passed ahead of schedule.

Whoosh!

A golden light floated up from Xu Le's Divine Soul!

Dao certification successful, ascended to godhood!

The Lightning Tribulation was complete, and the shadow unwillingly dissipated.

Xu Le knew that the other party wasn't dead; it was just that the Lightning Tribulation was complete, and its mission was finished, so it naturally returned to heaven and earth.

"It might also have gone to resist the Three Gods!"

Xu Le's consciousness returned, and his whole body began to undergo a metamorphosis; his Divine Soul, Physical Body, and magic power all began to sublimate...

Invisible energy from the void filled the surroundings, helping him complete this metamorphosis.

The Gift of the Heavenly Dao!

Xu Le realized, no wonder the Heavenly Dao tried so hard to stop him from becoming a god; it turned out that this would consume its energy.

He only felt his spirit attribute soaring, and an endless stream of energy was being consumed crazily. Just as his spirit soared to the peak, he heard a crack, as if something had shattered.

The limitations of his body completely disappeared, and he had ascended to godhood!

Contract God!
