Chapter 650 - 590: The Tenth Color of the Divine Fire (Part 2)
Chapter 650: Chapter 590: The Tenth Color of the Divine Fire (Part 2)
The moment its body was severed, the Divine Abomination devoured the Divine Power released by the Saint Dragon King.
Its aura grew even stronger.
All the Saint Dragon King’s previous efforts had been for naught.
The Divine Abomination hadn’t weakened; on the contrary, it had grown stronger.
However, the Saint Dragon King had managed to obtain a small piece of the Divine Abomination’s body.
He tossed the severed piece to Li Wei.
A black, slime-like mass bounced about. As it neared Li Wei, its movements grew more violent, filled with yearning.
Even this small fragment of the Divine Abomination’s body possessed the ability to devour Divine Power.
Li Wei used his Object Control Skill to hold it still.
He first converted Divine Power into Mana, then cast the Object Control Skill.
This way, the Divine Abomination was unable to devour the energy.
The only problem was that this method consumed extra Divine Power for no reason, and it still couldn’t harm the Divine Abomination.
It was the same Magic, after all.
Magic cast with Divine Power was a hundred times more powerful.
Casting the Object Control Skill with Mana could lift a boulder weighing ten thousand pounds.
The same amount of Divine Power used for the skill could easily lift a boulder weighing a million pounds.
There was a reason Divine Power was the mightiest Power in the world.
The difference was simply crushing when compared to other Extraordinary Powers.
Fortunately, the fragment of the Divine Abomination’s body that the Saint Dragon King had severed was smaller than the tip of a finger.
The Object Control Skill Li Wei cast with Mana was sufficient to control the fragment of the Divine Abomination.
The Saint Dragon King continued his fierce battle with the Divine Abomination.
Li Wei studied the fragment of its body.
After a moment, he said to the Saint Dragon King, "Hold on for a bit. I’ll be right back."
With that, Li Wei opened a Teleportation Gate and vanished into the Star Realm.
「The Star Realm.」
A star radiated a nine-colored brilliance.
Li Wei appeared on the star.
His research revealed that the Divine Abomination’s body was a composite of chaotic Law, Divine Power, matter, and energy.
Simply put, it felt like a piece of the world itself.
’If the world were a person, the Divine Abomination would be a cancer cell within its body.’
’It possesses an incredibly potent Life Force, and its essence is fundamentally part of the world. It just underwent a slight change and ran amok.’
’The birth of a Divine Abomination is like the early stage of this world-cancer. There’s still a chance to cure it.’
’But if a Divine Abomination breaks through to Tier Nine and becomes a god, that’s the terminal stage. The world would be beyond saving, left only to await its death.’
As beings within this world...
...humans, who were less than a single cell from the perspective of the whole...
...naturally couldn’t harm the Divine Abomination.
Having deduced the Divine Abomination’s true nature, Li Wei thought of a Power that could destroy worlds.
Divine Fire.
Divine Fire could burn stars.
Therefore, it could naturally burn an entire world.
The Sky Dome World wasn’t any larger than a star.
Li Wei wasn’t certain it would work, but it was worth a try.
The Divine Abomination fragment in his hand was small enough that he wasn’t worried about the experiment getting out of control.
Besides, the most crucial point was that while Divine Fire could burn Power and convert it into Divine Power, the Divine Fire itself was not Divine Power.
And since it wasn’t Divine Power, he didn’t have to worry about the Divine Abomination devouring it.
To be safe, Li Wei separated a small wisp of Divine Fire and moved to a spot far from the Nine-Colored Stellar to conduct his experiment.
In his left hand was the springy, rubber-ball-like fragment of the Divine Abomination.
In his right, a cluster of Nine-Colored Divine Fire burned quietly in the vacuum of space, releasing a magnificent, multicolored divine radiance.
Li Wei brought the Divine Abomination fragment down to the Nine-Colored Divine Fire, intending to burn it.
Upon touching the Nine-Colored Divine Fire, the fragment’s first instinct was to expand rapidly, trying to envelop the flame and devour it.
The sight startled Li Wei, and he subconsciously moved to stop the experiment.
But in the next instant, as the expanding fragment made contact with the Nine-Colored Divine Fire, it recoiled immediately, shrinking into a tiny ball as if terrified.
Li Wei let out a sigh of relief.
’Looks like it’s a success.’
Li Wei tossed the fragment into the Nine-Colored Divine Fire.
The fragment thrashed about, trying to escape the flames.
But under Li Wei’s control, the fragment was unable to break free from the Nine-Colored Divine Fire.
Consumed by the Nine-Colored Divine Fire, it grew fainter and fainter until it vanished completely.
After burning the fragment, Li Wei didn’t sense any new Divine Power coalescing within the Nine-Colored Divine Fire.
’The Divine Abomination is made of Divine Power. How could burning it not produce any?’
Li Wei found this strange.
Still, the fact that the Nine-Colored Divine Fire could counter the Divine Abomination was a good enough result.
Suddenly, Li Wei noticed a change in the Nine-Colored Divine Fire.
A sliver of black light had appeared within the fire.
A tenth color had appeared in the Divine Fire.
The Ten-Colored Divine Fire.
A look of astonishment crossed Li Wei’s face.
’A Ten-Colored Divine Fire actually exists?’
He carefully examined the special properties of the small cluster of Ten-Colored Divine Fire before him.
Li Wei discovered that the Ten-Colored Divine Fire converted Power into Divine Power much faster than its nine-colored counterpart.
A look of delighted surprise filled his eyes.
This was an unexpected windfall.
This was far more important than getting Divine Power from burning the Divine Abomination.
Li Wei quickly returned to the Nine-Colored Stellar.
After the small cluster of Ten-Colored Divine Fire merged with the greater fire of the Nine-Colored Stellar, the tenth color became extremely faint, almost undetectable.
It seemed to have reverted to being a Nine-Colored Divine Fire.
But Li Wei wasn’t worried. As long as he could burn the entire Divine Abomination, his Nine-Colored Divine Fire would eventually evolve into a Ten-Colored Divine Fire.
He couldn’t wait to return to the Sea Abyss.
Spotting the Saint Dragon King, Li Wei yelled, "I have a way to deal with the Divine Abomination! Find a way to sever another piece of its body, but don’t make it too big!"
He was afraid that if the severed piece was too large, its Power would be too great for him to control.
The Nine-Colored Divine Fire could only incinerate the Divine Abomination if he could keep it contained.
Otherwise, the creature could simply escape the flames.
The Nine-Colored Divine Fire itself possessed no ability to restrain anything.
And it would be even more trouble if the Divine Abomination escaped into the Star Realm.
Moreover, the Nine-Colored Stellar was his main base—the very source of his existence.
If the Divine Abomination were to run rampant on the Nine-Colored Stellar, the consequences for Li Wei would be catastrophic.
Hearing this, the Saint Dragon King acted decisively, slicing off a fist-sized fragment for Li Wei.
Li Wei hurriedly took the fragment and teleported to the Star Realm.
He tossed the fist-sized fragment into the Nine-Colored Divine Fire.
SIZZLE!
The Divine Abomination’s fragment was burned to nothing, dissipating without a trace.
A faint black glow appeared at the edge of the Nine-Colored Divine Fire.
It was still a long way from completely evolving into the Ten-Colored Divine Fire.
Li Wei hurried back to the Sea Abyss.
The Saint Dragon King repeatedly sliced off pieces of the Divine Abomination, and Li Wei repeatedly transported the fragments to the Star Realm for incineration.
In the Star Realm, the nine-colored star gradually began to radiate a tenth light.
An unknown amount of time passed.
The tenth light emanating from the star had stabilized.
The Nine-Colored Divine Fire had completely evolved into the Ten-Colored Divine Fire.
Watching a fragment of the Divine Abomination melt away rapidly in the Ten-Colored Divine Fire, Li Wei remarked, ’It’s finally over.’
This was the last piece.
At long last, he and the Saint Dragon King had completely destroyed the Divine Abomination.
By killing the Divine Abomination, Li Wei’s Nine-Colored Divine Fire had evolved into the Ten-Colored Divine Fire.
The speed at which it burned the star’s Power to create Divine Power increased dramatically.
Before, it would take a year to convert one-ten-thousandth of the star’s Power into Divine Power.
Now, the speed had increased nearly tenfold.
It would only take a thousand years to completely convert the star’s Power into Divine Power.
For any Divine Spirit, this was an unimaginably vast amount of Power.
After the Nine-Colored Divine Fire evolved into the Ten-Colored Divine Fire, Li Wei could feel his Divine Power Body growing stronger with each passing moment.
A ceaseless torrent of Divine Power surged into him.
When Li Wei returned to the Sea Abyss, the Saint Dragon King had already been waiting for some time.
Seeing him return, the Saint Dragon King couldn’t help but ask, "How did you kill the Divine Abomination?"
Li Wei told the Saint Dragon King how he had used the Divine Fire to burn the fragments.
"Isn’t Divine Fire supposed to have only nine colors? Why would a tenth color appear?" Li Wei asked, puzzled.
The Saint Dragon King looked just as surprised, as if he’d never heard of such a thing.
"This is the first I’ve ever heard of such a thing. I’ve never heard of anyone’s Divine Fire developing a tenth color. Then again, no one would ever use something as vital as their Divine Fire as an offensive tool to burn a Divine Abomination..."
The Saint Dragon King was stunned by Li Wei’s audacity.
If anything had gone wrong with his Divine Fire, Li Wei’s chances of ever becoming a god would have been dashed.
Who would dare gamble with their own future like that?
The Saint Dragon King mulled it over for a moment before saying, "Based on your description, the Ten-Colored Divine Fire’s current properties are superior to the Nine-Colored Divine Fire’s. It must be a more powerful type of Divine Fire."
Li Wei’s eyes flickered. He asked, "If a Ten-Colored Divine Fire can exist, then could there be Divine Fires with even more colors?"
"What would an eleven-colored or a twelve-colored Divine Fire be like?"
