Chapter 523: Light God Transformation
Time returned to the present.
The moment the dark golden light around Jie Ming completely stabilized, a fatal sense of threat that made even the muscles at the corners of the black-robed wizard’s eyes twitch uncontrollably coiled around his soul like an icy viper. His intuition, the combat instinct tempered through countless life-and-death battles, was screaming wildly…
Danger!
Extreme danger!
Jie Ming in this state… could kill him!
This was the first time since the battle began that the black-robed wizard had truly and uncontrollably felt the shadow of death.
In the distance, Jie Ming slowly opened his eyes.
The dark golden radiance that enveloped his entire body had already condensed into substance, as if he had been cast from some unknown, pure dark golden metal. Every line and contour of his body was perfect, exuding an indescribable sense of divinity and destruction.
He raised his right hand and gently clenched it.
Crack…
The surrounding space let out a soft, shattering sound. Tiny spatial cracks appeared and vanished at his fingertips like fragile glass.
“Light God Transformation… successful.”
A faint, almost inaudible murmur escaped Jie Ming’s lips.
At this moment, he had finally completed the critical step he had been preparing for ever since the battle began—pushing the “Light Transformation” he had previously only used for escape into a brand-new, higher realm.
Light God Transformation.
This was no longer a simple escape technique or energy form. It was the complete sublimation and materialization of his spiritual qi, body, and will under the support of the nearly infinite energy from his Internal Circulation. Every cell, every strand of spiritual qi, and even his thoughts had undergone a qualitative transformation, condensing into this dark golden “divine body” that blended extreme destruction with boundless vitality.
The Return to Ruins Armor around him had long since merged completely with this dark golden light, becoming part of the Light God Transformation state. Its defensive power had risen to an unimaginable level.
Jie Ming’s gaze slowly shifted toward the black-robed wizard in the distance.
In that instant, the black-robed wizard felt as if an invisible blade had been pressed against his throat. His entire body tensed involuntarily.
Without the slightest hesitation, the black-robed wizard activated the [Imaginary] Law at full power. The remaining “quota” in his possession was burned without reservation as he attempted to directly “define” the result before him—
“Jie Ming’s Light God Transformation state collapses.”
However, the moment the Imaginary power touched Jie Ming, an unprecedented resistance surged forth.
The dark golden radiance around Jie Ming flickered slightly but remained completely stable. Not even the slightest crack appeared.
Instead, the backlash from the failed “definition” caused the black-robed wizard’s own spiritual power to suffer a violent jolt. His figure staggered in mid-air for the first time.
“How is this possible…”
Shock finally appeared in the black-robed wizard’s eyes.
In his countless battles, the [Imaginary] Law had almost never encountered such strong resistance when targeting a single individual. Even sixth-ring wizards who specialized in defense would find it extremely difficult to completely neutralize a direct “definition” from him.
Yet Jie Ming, who was clearly only at the fifth-ring level, had done it.
No… it wasn’t that Jie Ming had neutralized it.
It was that the current Jie Ming had already transcended the category that the [Imaginary] Law could easily “define.”
The dark golden light surrounding him was no longer ordinary spiritual qi or energy. It was a brand-new “substance” formed through the fusion and sublimation of Internal Circulation energy, spiritual qi laws, and his own will.
It possessed both the characteristics of energy and matter, existing in a state between reality and illusion, yet leaning more toward an indestructible “divine substance.”
Even the [Imaginary] Law found it extremely difficult to directly overwrite such a state.
“Interesting…”
A cold glint flashed in the black-robed wizard’s eyes. The killing intent in his heart surged like a tide.
Since a direct “definition” was ineffective, then he would use the most primitive and brutal method—overwhelming force!
He raised his right hand. The power of [Imaginary] gathered rapidly, preparing to forcibly “define” the surrounding space itself into an absolute domain that suppressed all energy and matter, intending to trap Jie Ming within it and grind him down bit by bit.
But at that exact moment—
Jie Ming moved.
He took one step forward.
It was an extremely ordinary step, yet the moment his foot landed, the dark golden light beneath his feet bloomed like a ripple. The surrounding space instantly distorted and folded. His figure appeared directly less than a hundred meters in front of the black-robed wizard as if he had crossed through layers of space in a single step.
Spatial Distortion. Spatial Slash. Spatial Stabilization. Phase Shift.
All spatial laws seemed to have been perfectly integrated and simplified within this one step.
The black-robed wizard’s pupils contracted sharply.
Before he could react, Jie Ming had already thrown a simple punch.
There was no dazzling light, no earth-shattering momentum.
Just a plain, dark golden fist.
Yet the moment this fist was thrown, the entire battlefield seemed to fall silent.
All sound, all light, and even the flow of energy seemed to be drawn toward that fist, converging into a single point.
The black-robed wizard felt an unprecedented terror.
He no longer held back. All remaining “quota” was poured into the [Imaginary] Law as he roared inwardly and defined with all his might:
“Annihilation!”
The power of Imaginary erupted. An invisible force tried to erase the incoming dark golden fist from existence.
But the fist continued forward without the slightest pause.
Wherever it passed, the Imaginary power was torn apart like thin paper. The dark golden radiance carried an indomitable will that directly crushed all attempts at “definition.”
Boom!!!
The fist finally collided with the black-robed wizard’s crossed arms.
In that instant, the black-robed wizard felt as if he had been struck by an entire collapsing star.
His arms shattered instantly. The protective spells and defensive artifacts on his body exploded one after another. His entire figure was sent flying backward like a broken kite, smashing through layer after layer of space and leaving behind a long trail of shattered void.
Blood sprayed from his mouth as he flew.
For the first time since the battle began, the black-robed sixth-ring wizard was truly injured.
And it was a heavy injury.
In the distance, Augusta, who had been watching the scene, felt her heart tremble violently.
She stared at the dark golden figure standing proudly in the sky, her eyes filled with disbelief.
That was… Jie Ming?
The Jie Ming who had always been calm and reserved in her memories?
At this moment, the aura he emitted made even her, the War God with her fifth-ring title, feel a deep sense of oppression.
Jie Ming did not pursue immediately.
He stood quietly in the air, his dark golden eyes calmly gazing at the black-robed wizard who was stabilizing his figure in the distance.
The Light God Transformation state had consumed an enormous amount of energy, but thanks to the nearly limitless supply from his Internal Circulation, he could maintain it for a long time.
More importantly, in this state, his control over spatial laws, his physical strength, and the power of every strike had all undergone a qualitative leap.
The gap between fifth-ring and sixth-ring had been forcibly bridged by this transformation.
He finally had the qualifications to truly fight this black-robed wizard head-on.
Jie Ming slowly raised his hand. Dark golden light gathered at his fingertips, condensing into a slender spear of light.
The black-robed wizard wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His dark red eyes burned with unprecedented ferocity.
The battle… had only just entered its true climax.
