112: Chapter 112 Transformation into a Man of Light! Tower Soul Evolution: A Hundredfold Transformation

Black energy swallowed everything.

It was an indescribable darkness.

It wasn't that there was no light, but that the light had been swallowed.

The ground of the arena turned to dust the moment it touched the black energy.

The air was torn apart, letting out a sharp wail.

Outside the arena, the faces of those level 90+ big shots all changed in unison.

"Retreat, quickly!"

Someone shouted, and everyone scrambled back frantically!

Zhou Tiannan was the first to fly backward, his face deathly pale.

In all his years, he had never seen an energy eruption of this magnitude.

That was power capable of killing a legendary grade powerhouse!

Zhao Ritian did not retreat.

He hovered in place, his gray robes fluttering loudly in the shockwave.

He raised his hand, and a golden light shield enveloped those behind him who hadn't had time to withdraw.

His eyes were fixed intently on the black energy sphere on the arena.

The energy sphere had already expanded to fifty meters in diameter.

Inside, everything was being annihilated.

But Zhao Ritian's expression remained calm.

Because within that mass of black energy, he felt a familiar aura.

Golden.

Warm.

Immortal.

...

The black energy lasted for a full ten seconds.

After ten seconds, the energy began to dissipate.

The black mist receded like a low tide, scattering in all directions.

Revealing what was inside... the arena?

No, the arena was gone.

The thousand-meter diameter arena was now nothing but a circular wreck five hundred meters across.

Green smoke still rose from the edges, and at the center was a massive crater.

The pit was at least twenty meters deep, and the metal at the bottom had all melted.

It had turned into scalding liquid metal, flowing at the bottom of the pit.

And Lin Feng...

Lin Feng stood at the bottom of the pit.

No, not standing.

Hovering.

His entire body was enveloped in a mass of golden light.

That light wasn't the pale gold he usually emitted when using skills.

It was a pure, blinding gold, like the sun.

His body had become transparent.

He hadn't disappeared; he had... turned into light.

Skin, muscle, bone, blood vessels... everything had turned into light.

Golden light.

He was like a statue condensed from light.

Hovering at the bottom of the pit, motionless.

The scalding liquid metal flowed beneath his feet but couldn't get near him at all.

[Incarnation of Light: Ultimate Form]

[Effect: Transforms into pure light element, immune to all damage, lasts until energy is exhausted]

[Description: Under the impact of destructive energy, the golden tower soul automatically activates Ultimate Protection, transforming the host into a light element form.]

Outside the pit, everyone was stunned.

"This... what is this?!"

"He turned into light?!"

"Impossible! How can a human turn into light?!"

Zhou Tiannan's face was an unsightly mess.

He stood with his mouth agape and eyes wide, as if he had seen a ghost.

In all his years, he had never heard of anyone being able to turn into light.

The Shen Family elder's face wasn't any better.

His lips trembled; he wanted to say something but couldn't.

The Su Family patriarch, that white-haired old man, also had his eyes wide open.

He looked at the mass of golden light at the bottom of the pit with a complex gaze.

There was shock, disbelief, and even a hint of... regret?

"If I had known this kid was so strong..."

He muttered, his voice audible only to himself.

Zhao Ritian hovered at the edge of the pit, looking at the mass of golden light.

He smiled.

In his smile, there was relief, pride, and a hint of... closure.

"This kid..."

He shook his head.

"He's even fiercer than I was back in the day."

The golden light lasted for about thirty seconds.

Then, it began to contract.

Lin Feng's body gradually returned to a solid state from its transparent one.

First the bones, then the muscles, then the skin, and finally the clothes.

When the last wisp of golden light merged into his body, he opened his eyes.

Those eyes were clear and bright.

There was no fatigue, no fear, not even the relief of surviving a disaster.

There was only calmness.

Like a pool of deep water.

He looked down at his hands.

They were perfectly intact.

Even a single wound was nowhere to be found.

He stretched his muscles and bones.

Crackle—

His joints made a crisp snapping sound.

"Just now... what happened?"

He was somewhat bewildered.

He only remembered the black crystal exploding.

Then, a terrifying force tried to tear him apart.

And then... he knew nothing.

By the time he came to his senses, he was already standing at the bottom of the pit.

"Squeak squeak!"

Xiao Jin poked its head out from his collar, chirping excitedly.

Its fur was all puffed up, like a frightened hedgehog.

But in those chirps, there was full of the joy of survival.

Lin Feng patted its head.

"It's over now."

He raised his head and looked outside the pit.

The edge of the pit was crowded with people.

These big shots, who were usually high and mighty, now stared at him with wide eyes and open mouths.

Those looks were like they were seeing a monster.

Lin Feng ignored them.

He looked at Zhao Ritian.

Zhao Ritian hovered at the edge of the pit and nodded at him.

That look seemed to say—Good job.

Lin Feng smiled.

He spread his Wind Wings and flew up from the bottom of the pit.

He landed at the edge of the pit, standing beside Zhao Ritian.

"Master, I won."

Zhao Ritian patted his shoulder.

"Good."

Just then—

Above the ruins of the arena, that purple-blue light pillar lit up again.

The light was even more blinding than before.

A voice came from the light pillar.

That voice wasn't in any language.

But every word was clearly imprinted in everyone's mind.

In that voice, there was anger, resentment, and... a threat.

"Earth Federation... you won."

"But remember, killing my clansmen... this matter will not be settled so easily."

"My Gazi Race will not let this go."

"Soon, people from the Panzi Race will come for you..."

"When that time comes, I hope you can still laugh."

The voice vanished.

The purple-blue light pillar also disappeared.

The battered arena turned into countless points of light and dissipated into the air.

The sky returned to its original state.

Sunlight spilled through the clouds, warm and pleasant.

All those void fissures had closed.

The Old City District returned to its former silence.

But everyone knew this silence was only temporary.

The "Panzi Race" mentioned by that voice weighed on everyone's heart like a stone.

[universe will: Territory War Ended]

[Winner: Earth Federation]

[Distributing rewards...]

[All Earth Federation residents: All stats +5%]

A warm golden light descended from the sky.

Enveloping the entire city.

Lin Feng felt a warm energy surge into his body.

Every cell was cheering.

[All stats +5%]

[Current health points: 2.35 million / 2.35 million (Original 2.24 million × 1.05)]

[Current mana: 2.19 million / 2.19 million]

Simultaneously, a golden light pillar shot down from the sky.

Landing in front of Lin Feng.

The light pillar dissipated, revealing a... chest?

It was a palm-sized golden chest, its surface covered in complex runes.

The chest opened automatically.

Inside lay a sword.

The sword was entirely golden with a slender blade, looking like a beam of light.

A fist-sized golden gemstone was embedded in the hilt.

Within the gem, stars seemed to be swirling.

[universe will Gift: Sword of Radiance]

[Quality: SSS-rank]

[Judgment of Light: Summons a light pillar from the heavens, dealing light-attribute damage equal to spirit × 50 to all enemies in range. Cooldown: 1 hour]

[Description: A reward bestowed by the universe will upon the victor, containing pure and holy power of light.]

Lin Feng stared at the sword, his eyes fixed.

Ten to twelve thousand attack power!

All stats +500!

Light skill effects tripled, consumption reduced by eighty percent!

Health and mana each increased by a million!

And the skill "Judgment of Light," spirit times fifty damage!

What kind of god-tier weapon is this?!

It's at least twice as strong as his current dragon slaying sword!

The people around him also saw the sword.

Zhou Tiannan's eyes instantly turned red with envy.

"An SSS-rank weapon..."

He muttered, his voice trembling.

The Shen Family elder's hands were also shaking.

The Su Family patriarch took a deep breath, his gaze complex.

Zhao Ritian looked at the sword and nodded.

"Good stuff."

He looked at Lin Feng.

"Kid, you've hit the jackpot this time."

Lin Feng picked up the sword and held it in his hand.

It felt warm to the touch, as if he were holding a beam of light.

He could feel the power within the sword, terrifying beyond description.

But in the next second, he made a decision that left everyone dumbfounded.

He looked up at the sword in his hand.

And then...

"tower soul, come out for dinner."

Buzz—

A speck of golden light lit up at his brow.

The golden light grew brighter and more blinding.

Then, a golden phantom flew out from his brow.

It was a tower.

A nine-story small golden tower hovered in mid-air.

Ancient runes flowed across the surface of the tower.

It emitted an immortal and majestic aura.

[golden tower soul]

[Status: Awakening]

[Description: An immortal creation formed from the lifelong essence of the Ancient King, the core that protects the host's Soul.]

The moment the small golden tower appeared, the air in the entire Old City District froze.

Those big shots' faces all changed in unison.

They could feel that the small tower contained a power they couldn't comprehend.

That power did not come from this world.

Zhao Ritian's eyes narrowed.

He looked at the small tower and muttered.

"This kid... just how many more secrets does he have..."

The small golden tower hovered above the Sword of Radiance.

Then, it began to rotate.

Faster and faster.

A golden vortex appeared at the base of the tower.

A terrifying suction force erupted from the vortex.

The SSS-rank Sword of Radiance was sucked inside!

"What... what did he do?!"

Zhou Tiannan cried out in shock.

"He fed an SSS-rank weapon... to that tower?!"

The Shen Family elder's face also changed.

"Madness! He's insane! That was an SSS-rank weapon!"

The Su Family patriarch took a deep breath and said nothing.

But his hands were trembling.

Lin Feng ignored them.

He just watched the small golden tower quietly.

After devouring the Sword of Radiance, the small golden tower began to change.

The body of the tower began to expand.

From palm-sized to fist-sized, then to the size of a basketball.

The runes on the tower lit up one by one.

The golden light grew brighter and brighter.

Then, a message entered Lin Feng's mind.

[golden tower soul devoured "Sword of Radiance" (SSS-rank)]

[Digesting...]

[Digestion complete]

[Obtained new trait: Law of Heaven and Earth]

[Law of Heaven and Earth (Active Skill): Upon activation, size increases 100-fold, all stats ×10, duration 100 seconds. Cooldown: 24 hours]

[Description: A secret technique of the Ancient King. Transform into a hundred-zhang giant with world-shattering power. During the cooldown, the tower soul cannot provide any bonuses.]

Lin Feng read the description, his pupils contracting.

Size increased by a hundred times?

All stats multiplied by ten?

Duration of a hundred seconds?

His current spirit was 1921; times ten, that would be 19,210!

His Spell attack was 9605; times ten, that would be 96,050!

His health points were 2.35 million; times ten, that would be 23.5 million!

What kind of insane concept is this?!

He would become a hundred-meter giant; one punch could shatter a mountain!

In a hundred seconds, he could tear down a city!

"Holy shit..."

He muttered, stunned himself.

Zhao Ritian looked at him and smiled.

"It seems you've gained quite a lot."

Lin Feng snapped out of it and nodded.

"Yeah, it's huge."

He looked at the people around him.

These big shots were all keeping their mouths shut now, not daring to speak.

The way they looked at him was completely different from before.

Before, it was scrutiny, contempt, and schadenfreude.

Now... it was awe.

A monster who could take on three level 50 alien warriors alone and come out unscathed from an explosion of 5 million damage.

A freak who could feed an SSS-rank weapon to a mysterious little tower and gain a hundredfold transformation ability.

Who would dare provoke such a person?

Zhou Tiannan kept his head down, not daring to look at Lin Feng.

His hands were shaking inside his sleeves.

He knew he was finished.

The Zhou Family was finished.

The Shen Family elder also kept his head down.

He was calculating in his mind that once he got back, he must warn Shen Yutang to stay far away from this monster.

The Su Family patriarch took a deep breath.

He looked at Lin Feng with a complex gaze.

Then, he smiled.

"The youth are to be feared..."

He muttered and turned to leave.

The other big shots also dispersed one after another.

They knew that from today on, the sky over Donghai City had changed.

Zhao Ritian flew in front of Lin Feng and looked him up and down.

"Are you hurt?"

"No," Lin Feng shook his head.

Zhao Ritian nodded and patted his shoulder.

"You did well."

"Go back and get some good rest."

Lin Feng nodded.

"Master, you should also head back and rest early."

Zhao Ritian smiled and flew away.

Lin Feng stood there, watching his departing back.

Then, he looked down at his hand.

On the back of his hand, the All-Element Affinity Mark was still glowing faintly.
