Apotheosis

Les's right hand flashed with bolts of lightning as he held onto Zen's neck tightly.

In the huge Thunder Array, whenever the countless flashes of lightning were squeezed together, they melted into a grey liquid.

Anything thrown into the liquefied lightning would instantly melt and disappear without a trace.

Under the attack of the liquid lightning, Zen's body instantly reacted. Round blisters formed on his skin once more, oozing with a green viscous liquid. In defense, Zen's skin formed a layer of metal to protect himself.

This layer of metal completely isolated the lightning from the outside.

"Humph!"

Les snorted.

Then, the energy in the whole Thunder Array intensified and whirled around faster.

In the liquid lightning that gathered, there were many small triangles wrapped in it. These triangles ground and drilled on the surface of Zen's body. Cracks began to appear on Zen's skin which glowed with metallic luster. His skin was gradually broken.

"Even the ancestry-level bloodline can't resist them?" Zen cried in shock.

After all, from the moment he obtained the ancestry-level bloodline, Zen saw infinite possibilities in it, and every possibility would be invincible.

Zen was surprised, but so was Les.

He had had no idea how Zen formed a layer of metal on his skin, neither did he know what exactly that metal was. He just knew that his lightning lost its effect on Zen the minute it appeared.

In order to break Zen's physical body, he had no choice but to use Thunder Crystal Fragments.

A Thunder Crystal Fragment was the hardest material in the world. As they continued drilling on Zen's skin, they finally breached past the metal layer and into Zen's body. A smile crept on Les's face when he saw his plan was working.

With the help of the Thunder Crystal Fragments, he was able to grind Zen into powders.

Just when Les thought he had the upper hand, a white mass suddenly oozed out of Zen's wounds. It had a strange-looking mouth and hollow eyes, which stared into Les's.

"This is..." Les's eyes widened slightly.

It finally dawned on him why he had had such an unpleasant feeling.

It was a Treacherous Being!

This guy was possessed by a Treacherous Being!

As one of members that held high position in the Element Spirit Civilization, Les knew much more

ain and again, the energy in the stone was exhausted, and the transparent light ball that served as a shield naturally collapsed.

Everything disappeared under the compression of the white form, except for the small cubic stone.

"I get it," the Primeval Lord of Heaven suddenly said. "Previously, when the Treacherous Being had manipulated your body to cling onto the transparent ball of light, it wasn't looking at Les but at the cubic stone beside him. It has taken a fancy to this thing..."

"What's the use of this stone?" Zen muttered.

Of course, only something extraordinary would arouse the interest of a Treacherous Being.

"Coo, coo, coo..."

Whatever remained of the white film suddenly melted into a puddle of murky white water which flowed until it formed the shape of the Treacherous Being. Its unsettling face emerged once more. This time, its smile was even wider and creepier than ever.

Then, it howled...

These howls were so shrill, everyone who had the misfortune of being within earshot winced in severe pain.

Unfortunately, the Wing King and the other warriors with him, as well as the men in black didn't have the time to clamp their ears shut, so they all buckled under the sound of the Treacherous Being's howls.

Fortunately, this didn't last long.

After a while, the howls stopped. The part of the Treacherous Being that was outside Zen's body slowly returned, along with the small, cubic stone.

Because Zen had no control over his body, he didn't feel a thing when the cubic stone entered his body.
