236: The Immortal Body of the Sacred Heart

"What makes you think I am the Son of God?" Jason was shaking with rage, his eyes like blades. Ketch and the four women suddenly felt as if all their strength had been drained away.

It wasn't that they lacked courage!

It was just that, as if they had encountered someone at the top of the food chain, their strength drained away like a deflated balloon.

Bang, bang, bang...

The anti-magic ropes binding Jason snapped inch by inch, and blinding Holy Light erupted from his body.

"You are actually burning your Soul—no, wait, you are burning your Divine Thought!" Ghost was shocked.

Six pairs of pure white wing phantoms appeared behind Jason. Combined with the Holy Light on his body, one look was enough to know that he was a true angel!

Jason's pupils turned golden, and a flash of confusion crossed his eyes. After his true consciousness underwent Awakening, his face turned uglier than pig liver.

Was everything that happened before really his doing? It disgusted him so much he wanted to vomit!

Ghost's eyes flashed with inspiration, and he shouted sternly, "Audacious thief, you actually performed a Soul Sacrifice to a demon, pretending to be an angel to bewilder people!"

Then, he immediately executed "Holy Light Judgment," and terrifying Holy Light erupted from the Sword of Holy Light that Ghost was holding.

"That is not how you cast Divine Spells!"

Jason said with disdain. He raised his shield with his left hand to block his body while simultaneously darting forward at high speed.

Boom!

The Judgment Holy Light struck the shield. Although it was immensely powerful, it caused him no harm.

Jason remained calm and unhurried. Without even casting a Spell, he spun three times in the air and slashed at Ghost with full force.

Bang!

A tremendous force arrived. Even though Ghost had inherited Diis's physical attributes, he was shaken until his whole body went numb. He could only hold up his shield and clash with the Sword of Holy Light.

The roles of attacker and defender shifted. Ghost excelled in Soul attacks but was a half-baked amateur when it came to Moves and Spells, so he could only barely hold on.

A trace of reluctance flashed in Jason's eyes, but important matters took precedence.

After all, what he possessed now was a mortal Physical Body. Although he could borrow the power of his Divine Thought, the consumption was extremely fast, and he could not waste his power here.

"What did you do to Diis?"

"? I am Diis!"

Ghost was stunned but continued to play tough. He noticed that Jason had already flapped his wings and was flying toward the Holy Cathedral.

Ghost hurriedly followed. Ketch and the others looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and gave chase.

...

In the Sea of Consciousness.

Satan's demonic thought shuddered, "You are not Raphael; you are actually a devil too."

Xu Le: "... It's one thing for you to consider yourself a devil, but why drag me into it?"

Satan was surprised, "What is wrong with being a devil? Powerful, controlling the world, the nightmare of the Heavenly Kingdom, the nightmare of the world. Without saying a word, one can reap endless fear."

Xu Le curled his lip, "Compared to fear, I prefer respect. Holy crap, you snuck-attacked me!"

Xu Le "exclaimed," his Divine Soul "narrowly" dodged the strike, and he hid in the Contract Space. Satan cackled and chased after him, immediately changing his demeanor.

He had sensed his own demonic blood. He had originally thought they were all in the human world, enough for his Rebirth, and that this demonic thought of his could just go and wreak havoc in the Heavenly Kingdom.

He also sensed Diis's Divine Soul, which only had a sliver of a remnant Soul left; no wonder it didn't follow.

"Run!"

Satan's demonic thought did not hesitate in the slightest. Even if his Physical Body was destroyed and only the body of the Hellhound remained, it was still better than being killed here.

But it was already too late!

A chain appeared in Xu Le's hand, as if it had magical power, and it directly bound Satan's demonic thought.

Originally, while he was hiding in the Pope's body, he was somewhat troublesome, but with only his demonic thought left, he was completely countered by the [soul-hooking chain] and had no room to escape.

"Who are you?"

"I am the dignified Lord of Hell. Being suppressed by the god of light is one thing, but by what right does a nobody like you suppress me?"

Satan's demonic thought struggled continuously. The soul-hooking chain that suppressed the Divine Soul was actually cracking, but the opponent's thought was also constantly shrinking.

"Come, come, come, keep struggling. If I show even a hint of fear, I lose."

Xu Le channeled his magic power, condensed an identical soul-hooking chain, and bound Satan's demonic thought once again.

"I..." Satan's demonic thought was furious. He chanted an incantation, and even under the binding of the soul-hooking chain, he was faintly able to cast a Spell.

[Divine Soul Shock!]

This could be considered an upgraded version of the "Mental Shock" Skill.

Xu Le's Divine Soul slammed violently into the demonic thought. His powerful Divine Soul was like a millstone, grinding the demonic thought away.

The already small demonic thought was rapidly obliterated.

Pfft!

With a faint, crisp sound, the demonic thought completely vanished into nothingness.

[Experience + 300 billion.]

[Divine Soul + 0.1]

Xu Le felt a flash of enlightenment; that was the insight gained after devouring Satan's demonic thought.

Compared to the Physical Body that Satan possessed, which even the god of light could not destroy, what Xu Le comprehended was merely the surface, but this surface was already beginning to show its edge.

[Skill] Holy Heart Undying Body (Passive)

[Quality] Mythical

[Skill Description] Comprehend the Dao, understand the essence, and have the Physical Body strengthened by the power of rules.

The endless mysterious Origin Qi in the world began to strengthen his Physical Body. Xu Le felt it and looked at his physique attributes; sure enough, they were growing continuously.

Although it wasn't much, it had only been a short time, so he silently waited for his body to be strengthened.

All of this happened in the Contract Space.

Xu Le opened his eyes and saw the Hellhound attacking the Angel Phantom like a madman. However, after Satan's demonic thought abandoned the Pope's Physical Body, it had to deal with 18 Angel Phantoms alone, often unable to attend to both the head and the tail, and was slashed until it was covered in wounds.

The hardest part was that the Angel Phantoms possessed 1‰ of an angel's strength, and the Sword of Holy Light also possessed the power to purify everything.

The Hellhound could withstand one or two strikes, but amidst the dense sword wounds, its instinctive recovery ability began to fail to keep up with the destructive power of the Holy Light.

Xu Le had a flash of inspiration and appeared directly by the lava river where Satan was sealed.

Only then did he discover that the Seal had long since loosened. The people of the Holy See had no Divine Soul, and the Seal had long since become a sieve.

No wonder Satan's demonic blood could be moved out. The treasures on the Pope's body had all been replaced. Throughout the entire Beidian Continent, who knew how many secret pieces Satan had buried.

Xu Le began to chant the incantation. This incantation was obtained from the Pope; perhaps he was also afraid of making a mistake and specifically had the Son of God review it.

Xu Le triggered the Holy Light magic power within Spu's body, added a sliver of Divine Soul power, and amidst the long, drawn-out incantation, the Holy Light magic power began to repair the loopholes under the guidance of the Divine Soul.

"Raphael, you piece of trash, you actually broke your promise!"

Xu Le's heart stirred. Was there a story behind this?

He perked up his ears to listen to the gossip, but the magic power in his hands did not stop, continuing to repair the Seal.

Satan cursed for a long time, repeating things about treachery and the like over and over.

Xu Le felt some regret. By the time the Seal was completely repaired, Satan had also completely fallen silent.

Crack!

The obstacle that had been stuck at the Rank of faith was finally shattered.

Xu Le moved his thoughts, secretly used a sliver of Divine Soul power, returned to the entrance, and brought the Angel Phantoms and the three-headed Hellhound back to the Holy See.

The Pope and the others were gone.

He wanted to use the Hellhound as proof to certify himself as the Son of God.

Boom!

Xu Le felt Spu's body roaring, and endless Holy Light surged over from all directions.

faith had risen to Rank 11!
