Chapter 277: Bankrupt Overnight, Reconstructing The Divine Body
“You little scoundrel, how dare you act so recklessly!”
In the Tower of Ti, Dodola cursed as it watched ng Lei, who was currently wrapped in a fire cocoon. Evidently, it was greatly displeased with what he had done.
“Rise From The Ashes is a highly risky move. A mont of carelessness and one will vanish in a puff of smoke, their divine spirit fully destroyed.
“Other Divine Netherworld Phoenixes only wish they could make even safer and even more perfect preparations, yet he actually went ahead and cast Rise From The Ashes under such circumstances. He shouldn’t have done that even if he has a death wish!”
Despite how fiercely Dodola was ranting, it couldn’t hide the look of worry in its eyes. The Dark Demonic Dragon was nothing to Dodola; it could smack the Dark Demonic Dragon dead with just one hit.
What it was worried about was ng Lei!
“Can such a sudden casting of Rise From The Ashes really succeed?
“Never mind, the chances of success are simply too low, considering how he had cast it so recklessly. If it doesn’t work, then I’ll just lend him a hand. He mustn’t die... If he dies, I’ll suffer a huge loss...”
Could he succeed?
ng Lei himself didn’t know, either.
All he knew was that the power of divinity inside him was currently being depleted at an alarming rate. Every second passing saw 100 Power of Divinity droplets being depleted!
100 droplets per second!
How ridiculous was a rate like that?
For many half-deities, that was all the power of divinity they had even after saving and accumulating them for tens of thousands of years. One could easily imagine just how frightening ng Lei’s current power of divinity consumption rate was.
However, that was how Rise From The Ashes was. It had to fully burn every cell, every bone, every muscle, every organ...
...Until ng Lei’s entire self was burned into ashes, leaving behind only his divine spirit and the purest, most refined blood essence!
His divine body will then be reconstructed using that as a foundation. To sum it up, the act of destruction was all for the sake of creation.
Naturally, the whole process required vast amounts of power of divinity. After all, divine bodies were incredibly difficult to destroy and even harder to construct.
Of course, because their divine body would be burned and destroyed—in fact, even burned to ashes—the process was also accompanied by imnse pain and agony. One could easily imagine the amount of affliction involved in the process.
ng Lei didn’t fear pain. He had already gone through innurable hardships and painful experiences by now, so pain didn’t frighten him anymore.
Neither was he afraid of power of divinity depletion. Given the 888.88 million Laws of Nature Origin Crystals in his possession, was there any need for him to fear the re power of divinity depletion?
However, the events that followed next showed ng Lei that he had grossly underestimated the amount of power of divinity he needed—it took only two hours for the 10,000 Divinity Crystals’ worth of power of divinity to be completely depleted!
Left with no other choice, he could only buy and redeem more.
“System, redeem 10,000 Divinity Crystals’ worth of power of divinity for !”
Whoosh!
His Wealth instantly shrank by 100,000,000 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals. At the sa ti, he also received 10,000 Divinity Crystals’ worth of power of divinity.
The burning continued!
The depletion continued!
Another two hours later, the 10,000 Divinity Crystals’ worth of power of divinity that he had only just redeed were fully depleted again.
Left with no other choice again, ng Lei could only spend another 100,000,000 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals and replenish his reserves with another 10,000 Divinity Crystals’ worth of power of divinity.
After four hours of burning, ng Lei could feel that his physical body had already been completely burned away. His bones, his muscles... Everything had been reduced to ashes, leaving behind only his divine spirit fla and a ball of blood essence floating in the air.
The divine spirit fla was a bunch of flas fully golden in color, and it gave off rich divine spiritual power.
The blood essence gave off a pale golden glow and was also filled with a strong aura of vitality—it was the essence that had ford using all of ng Lei’s blood and life force.
“Now that my physical body has been burned away, it’s ti to reconstruct my divine body.”
He let out a long sigh and infused power of divinity into his blood essence. As though injected with hormones, the blood essence began to replicate and proliferate furiously...
For a while, the blood essence expanded swiftly like an inflating balloon. In the short span of a few breaths, it had already expanded by quite a few tis of its original size and beco as big as a basketball!
The blood essence’s rapid expansion was accompanied by a frighteningly high power of divinity depletion rate. The depletion rate was a whole multiple tis that of what it had previously been. Up to 1,000 Power of Divinity droplets were depleted every second.
,000 Divinity Crystals’ worth of power of divinity had originally been able to sustain him for two hours, yet it couldn’t last even half an hour now. The depletion rate was simply too scary, and it filled ng Lei with alarm and trepidation.
“I still have 680 million Laws of Nature Origin Crystals left. Can it guarantee a successful divine body reconstruction?”
ng Lei was rather nervous. Like what people usually said, “Destruction is easy, but creation is hard.”
If it had taken 20,000 Divinity Crystals’ worth of power of divinity to burn his divine body away, then how much would he need to reconstruct it?
ng Lei had no idea at all, but now that things had reached this point, it was impossible for him to stop halfway. He had to successfully reconstruct his divine body in one go.
Ten minutes passed...
Twenty minutes passed...
Half an hour passed...
“System, redeem 30,000 Divinity Crystals’ worth of power of divinity for !”
His blood essence was still expanding and had already beco taller than an average human’s height by now. Then, it began to form and grow ridians and blood veins, internal organs and bones, muscles, tendons, marrow, and so on.
The ridians and blood veins ca first, followed by internal organs and bones, while the muscles, tendons, marrow, hair, and skin ca last.
Only when everything had fully ford did the power of divinity depletion gradually stop.
It was then that ng Lei discovered to his horror that he was only left with 880,000 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals and 200 Divinity Crystals’ worth of power of divinity!
This ant that his rebirth had, in total, consud 888 million Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, leaving him with only a fraction of the original amount now!
This also ant that he had gone right back to square one—ng Lei had beco a pauper again!
“At least it’s succeeded, though.”
ng Lei couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. Had his wealth been any less, his rebirth would really have sent everything he had previously achieved down the drain and destroyed everything he had in one day.
He would have been dood if that had happened.
ng Lei balled his hands into fists. He could feel that his physique had changed completely and could sense great power constantly gushing out from the depths of his blood.
“What a powerful sensation! It’s much, much more powerful than what it had previously been! Surely I can be considered a young adult Divine Netherworld Phoenix now?
“Since my divine body has been successfully reconstructed, it’s ti to go out.”
A boom rang out with a thought from ng Lei, and the black fire cocoon enveloping him instantly exploded. ng Lei showed himself in front of everyone once more.
“He’s out!”
Dodola, Cyrus the Dark Demonic Dragon, the 45 Demon Lords and Great Demon Lords, as well as Bubbles and the others who had been subdued, all looked over.
“That guy’s actually succeeded!”
Dodola was so astonished that it widened its eyes so large that its eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets. It had already gotten all ready to lend him a hand, yet ng Lei had actually succeeded in the end!
“Just how did he manage to do that?”
Dodola couldn’t help but sowhat question its own life.
The Dark Demonic Dragon was also questioning its own life. It simply couldn’t understand—despite casting Rise From The Ashes so recklessly, ng Lei had actually succeeded?
Was there even any justice in this world?
Who the hell was it supposed to reason with?
Nevertheless, now that things had co to this, it was aningless no matter how indignant he was. The Dark Demonic Dragon knew very well that with ng Lei’s successful rebirth, it would have to face an even stronger ng Lei now.
ng Lei’s physical body was already comparable to an average interdiate deity’s previously, but it must be even stronger now. Was it a match for him?
What’s more was that higher deity behind him, too.
The thought of Dodola drove the Dark Demonic Dragon rather mad. With a higher deity like that hidden behind ng Lei’s back, how was it supposed to fight him?
Kill ng Lei, and then be killed by Dodola? Take the initiative to concede defeat and allow ng Lei to humiliate it?
It was a goddamn miserable outco no matter which it chose!
“Mr. Cyrus, I’ve kept you waiting,” said ng Lei as he rose into the air.
His pupils were pitch-black and as pure and flawless as an infant’s, while two tiny licks of flas flickered in their depths.
“Human deity!”
The Dark Demonic Dragon’s eyes bore into ng Lei.
Even though ng Lei didn’t physically look like he had changed much, the Dark Demonic Dragon could nonetheless still sense an invisible pressure coming from him.
The pressure alard and suffocated it. It was as if it wasn’t facing a human deity but a ferocious prival beast!
Although he hasn’t reached the Great Demon God stage yet, he has already far surpassed an ordinary Demon God!
The Dark Demonic Dragon was alard.
That damned human deity! To think the rebirth has actually strengthened him so much. How inconceivable!
“Mr. Cyrus, let us continue our battle!”
ng Lei’s eyes were clear. Battle spirit surged in his eyes. He was rather eager to test his newfound strength.
“Human deity, leave Demonic Dragon Continent with your servants at once, and I’ll take it that nothing has ever happened.”
The Dark Demonic Dragon growled, “From then on, we’ll stay in our own lanes and mind our own business. How does that sound?”
“That’s a nice plan you have for yourself.”
ng Lei shook his head lightly and said, “Do you think you can make leave so easily after you’ve deployed troops to invade my territory? Aren’t you indulging in fantasy a little too much?”
“What do you want, human deity?”
The Dark Demonic Dragon roared deeply.
“One must shoulder the consequences of their own mistakes.”
ng Lei’s voice gradually turned icy as he said, “I’m open to the idea if you wish to bury the hatchet and turn hostility into friendship. Everything is open for discussion if you hand over your divine spirit origin energy to .”
The Dark Demonic Dragon flew into a thundering rage and roared, “That’s going too far human deity!”
