The robe on Wang Wei’s body disappeared replaced by only long black pants, displaying his 12 pack muscle line. Then, his skin turned copper in color while also growing claws.
Bronze-colored tattoo designed appeared on his torso, four silver bones grew from his back. The white part of his eyes turned golden while the rest remained grey.
Five small things floated from his right shoulder to the left one, forming an arc; they were a small flame, a ball of water, a solid rock, a golden sphere, and a leaf, each representing the five elements.
As soon as Wang Wei finished his transformation, a powerful and eerie aura suddenly enveloped the entire Heavenly Abode World; the aura was powerful, desolate, and brought fear to any lesser life forms. Creaking sounds could be heard from the entire world as the laws seemed to be rattled, showing that his mere presence was placing too much pressure on the entire world.
“This Desolate God Transformation is not really pleasant to the eyes,” muttered Wang Wei as he looked at his body. This transformation was possible after he finished refining his organs, however, he never had any use for it, so he never showed it.
As he clenched his hand, he could feel the tremendous increase in his strength; in this form, he can bring out the full potential of his fleshly body. According to his estimate, he could not fight his grandfather and win, or even fight ten Quasi-Emperor and be the winner.
However, as he looked at Di Tian in front of him, he knew that this might not be enough. Nevertheless, he had to try.
He rushed toward Di Tian with a speed thousands of times faster than light and punched him. And with that punch, he also used the Power of Heaven and Earth, which gave him an additional 270-fold increase in strength.
This level of Power of Heaven and Earth far surpassed the increase in strength of most Laws.
As Wang Wei made that punch, he heard a screaming sound full of pain and agony but he ignored it. He saw Di Tian waving his hand to negate the power of his attack, and after that, a force even more powerful rushed towards him and blasted his upper torso.
Oddly though, there was no blood or gore after his upper body was destroyed. Instead, an upper torso made of dirt was instantly made up before turning into real flesh and blood.
And as soon as Wang Wei’s body was reformed, his eyes turned red as a massive pillar of flame that looked like laser vision rushed towards Di Tian; he was using his Chaos Flame.
Meanwhile, Di Tian–who was very knowledgeable regarding the Ancient Desolate Scripture–knew that one of the abilities granted after cultivating the organs was mastery over the five elements, thus even allowing the body to turn into other elements to avoid physical damage.
He calmly opened his mouth to spew out a blue flame, which instantly overwhelmed Wang Wei’s flame and rushed to burn his entire existence. Luckily, he quickly turned himself into fire elements and avoid the attack.
‘Damn it,’ cursed Wang Wei in annoyance; he was annoyed for two reasons. One was the constant crying sound in his ear, and the other was the information he just learned in this short confrontation.
One, his enemy also has a Chaos Flame and has even cultivated it to an even higher level than his. Second, it was the power of Heaven and Earth that Di Tian briefly used during the confrontation.
According to his calculation, that attack had at least a 900-fold of power, which was almost five times his increase. And that was only a basic estimation which is probably on the lower side.
Compare to his 270-fold increase, he was truly outclassed.
Immediately, Wang Wei removed the distracting thoughts or emotions from his mind as he quickly pondered.
‘If I want to get out of this situation alive, I need to find a method to grow during combat,’ he thought. Right now, he could tell that Di Tian was essentially toying with him, trying to get him to use all his power and hidden cards.
And this was an opportunity for him. So, his brain worked rapidly.
‘Currently, there are only three ways I can improve my strength: one is to enter the Grandmaster Level of my [Force Controlling Skill], enter the One Drop Rebirth Realm, and increase my fighting experience.’
In this battle, for the first time in his life, Wang Wei understood the importance of battle experience. With each clash with Di Tian, he found that the latter can not only use the best method to deal with any situation, he can use the right amount of force or technique, and more importantly, he can target Wang Wei’s weakness with each attack.
A powerful cultivator’s weakness is not static but is constantly moving around; it depends on the cultivator’s origin essence, spiritual power or soul, fleshly body, and many other factors.
And when it comes to a master of the flesh like Wang Wei, his weaknesses are very small and constantly changing to prevent others from targeting them. Yet, Di Tian can find that weakness with every attack, thus drastically increasing the effectiveness of his attacks.
It’s like he was playing a game and could hit a critical hit attack 100% of the time.
While Wang Wei was thinking of a solution to his problem, he did not stop clashing with Di Tian, however, he never even made a scratch on the latter. As for him, the only reason he was barely holding by was because of his ability to turn into an element.
‘Usually, only through time and constant battle can experience be increase, however, I have another way,’ thought Wang Wei.
‘The Pagoda Trials.’
In many of the trials, he lived a very long and many lives and experienced countless battles. And since the Illusion World in the Pagoda is extremely realistic, it is possible to bring back the experience inside to the real.
As a matter of fact, many disciples used the Pagoda for this purpose in addition to using it to refine their Will, mind, and Dao Heart. The reason that Wang Wei never did so was because of the memories of his past life.
Because of his experience, a part of his mind could not help compare the Pagoda Trial with Virtual Reality Games. This way of thinking allowed him to be more resistant to illusion but it also prevented him from fully using the trial to its fullest level.
After making a plan, Wang Wei immediately began to execute it.
He began to remember his time as a devil when he lost his mind to power; he fought countless battles all over the world and became the final winner. Then, there was his battle with the Wrath of Heaven.
In that trial, he always had to start from scratch and reach the peak of the cultivation world. In the process, he fought all over the world, cultivating and creating many techniques to prepare for his final battle.
He reviewed all his 10,000 attempts over and over again while rapidly absorbing the battle experience he learned. And while doing so, he also found another benefit. In many of his attempts against that finger, he also cultivated his fleshly body to an unimaginable level.
As such, he also learned to control his power to precision. Amongst the memory he has, he did have a counterpart that could control every atom in his body to utilize force. So, Wang Wei focused on that memory to see how he did so in the pagoda, then, modify it to account for the difference between the Illusion World and the True World.
Then, Wang Wei felt something click inside his mind. He punched forward while controlling all the atoms in his body to generate force.
Boom!
His original power which was a few quadrillions of Jin of force jumped to quintillion. And this was not the end. During the entire battle, Wang Wei had to fight a familiar force from Di Tian’s attack that greatly hindered his healing capabilities.
He always felt that power was familiar and he finally identified it: the Duyi Realm or True Will power that he acquired after reaching the 13th level of the Body Refining Realm.
Before this, he did not know much about how to use this power besides using it to destroy the foundation of people with weaker strengths than himself. However, after observing Di Tian’s attacks who also has the Duyi Realm, he knew that this thing was used not only to amplify attacks but also to destroy defenses and prevent the regenerative abilities of others.
After recognizing that power, Wang Wei finally understood why the first time he met Di Tian at the Academy, when he left his True Will at the front door he was not affected in the least and could ignore it.
After making that punch with his new breakthrough, Di Tian blocked the attack with his palm before slapping Wang Wei away. He then looked at the slightly white mark on his palm.
‘Growing in the midst of battle? Typical action of people with Great Luck and Destiny. However, this is not even close to being enough,’ he thought. ‘So far, his strength and talent only make him on par with 5 reincarnations, so, how could he has a chance against me for the Heaven Will?’
