Pavas, having recently broken his seal through a ritual sacrifice, is confronted by Li Chen. Pavas, a newly advanced True God, is wary of the Demon Buddha but also seeks revenge for his nephew's death. Li Chen, despite appearing less powerful, provokes Pavas, revealing powerful defensive abilities that surprise his opponent. Pavas, angered, unleashes a devastating move called "Infinite Light," forcing Li Chen's alter ego to flee while his main body prepares to face the attack.

Li Chen has his own plans, while Demon Buddha has his own thoughts, and naturally, Pavas is no fool and of course wouldn’t want to be led by the nose.

Therefore, this strike of Infinite Light is an indiscriminate attack.

Anyone within its range would be touched by the Infinite Light. Li Chen was in this range, and naturally, so was Demon Buddha.

"What a cunning kid, truly sly." Demon Buddha suffered a hidden loss but didn’t say much, quickly withdrawing far away. You could see that there were still many white glints on his large body, resembling flames jumping about, but as the aura on his body surged, these white lights instantly extinguished.

Meanwhile, Li Chen was not that fortunate.

Although his alter ego escaped, Li Chen’s true body remained in place, experiencing the sensation of being burned by scorching light.

The previous Xivilo was too weak, and when the Holy Light shone on his true body, he felt almost nothing; even when slight injuries occurred, they were instantly healed by the powerful self-healing abilities of the Indestructible Body.

However, when Pavas made his move, it was completely different.

The mighty Power of Light pierced into Li Chen’s skin, flesh, and even his blood like divine needles.

Inside Li Chen’s body, it was as if countless steel needles were jumping, and the intense pain made Li Chen feel bouts of suffocation.

Although this Holy Light couldn’t immediately destroy the Indestructible Body, the pain it brought was undoubtedly real.

The cultivation within Li Chen’s body also trembled at this moment, as if awakening.

But as soon as his cultivation moved, a great mystical lock appeared, forcibly suppressing Li Chen’s cultivation again.

"This is exactly what I was waiting for!" Li Chen felt a stir in his heart, realizing his cultivation, unlike Divine Sense, had no cracks and couldn’t be manipulated to make the mystical lock appear, so he could only forcefully bring it out using this clumsy method.

Luckily, the pain suffered earlier wasn’t in vain.

SizzleSizzleSizzle...

As soon as the mystical lock appeared, the scorching light seemed to have found a target, crazily surging toward the mystical lock, trying to burn—or perhaps purify—the mystical lock with all its might.

However, it was clear that the mystical lock was incredibly tough, enduring the purification without even a small breach appearing.

Instead, under the purification power, the mystical lock became even more radiant.

"What is this thing?" Amidst the blinding whiteness, others couldn’t see, but Pavas could clearly witness every subtle movement Li Chen made. From the moment the mystical lock emerged, he took notice.

Yet after watching for a while, he still couldn’t figure out what this mystical lock actually was.

"Defensive Divine Ability? But what defensive divine ability is this? Even I have never seen it before, and it can withstand the purification power of Infinite Light! Could it have been created by experts during my closed-door cultivation?" Pavas felt suspicious.

He glanced at Demon Buddha, who had already retreated far away, obviously making no intention to interfere.

"Let me test how strong this defensive divine ability truly is!" Pavas gave Li Chen a deep look through the white light, raising his hands toward the sky once more.

He also wanted to probe the potential of this little boy without cultivation aura. As for the escaped earthly-level alter ego, with his strength, he had long seen through it; it was just an artificial shell.

From afar, seeing Pavas’ movements, Demon Buddha’s lips also curled into a peculiar smile: "No matter how cunning, he still fell for it."

"Divine Order Chapter VIII: Endless Night!"

When Pavas activated his divine skills again, this time, the explosion was not light, but darkness, infinite darkness.

Light and darkness are opposing, yet coexisting; only with light can darkness exist, and only with darkness can light shine.

Once the sky was washed in light, what followed was endless night.

This time, the true body of Li Chen, with no alter ego to hold, did not drop from the sky, for he was completely locked in the void by darkness.

Within the darkness surrounding Li Chen, it seemed like countless monsters were lurking, eyeing him fiercely, ready to devour him at any moment.

In reality, Li Chen was enduring a pain that seemed like his physical body was being devoured.

This pain wasn’t caused by any darkness-dwelling monster, but by the dark power itself.

The power of darkness seemed intent on integrating Li Chen, completely devouring him, targeting not only his physical body but his Divine Soul as well.

Under such an attack, even ordinary experts in the Soul Realm would disintegrate into ashes.

But Li Chen was different.

Though Li Chen’s Divine Soul was exceptionally sturdy, he lacked considerable defensive measures in such circumstances. At the first moment darkness devoured, Li Chen’s sea of consciousness became imperiled.

Yet, the Seven Realms Tome erupted with extraordinary power, instantly enveloping Li Chen’s sea of consciousness, preventing the dark power from invading further.

The prior dark power that invaded Li Chen’s mental sea was instantly crushed by the Seven Realms Tome, turning into nourishment for Li Chen’s sea of consciousness.

"Is such a tactic possible?" Li Chen was taken aback, then quietly asked the Seven Realms Tome, "If this thing can serve as nourishment, why not crack open a gap to secretly absorb this power?"

Surprisingly, upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the Seven Realms Tome, which rarely communicated with Li Chen, actually opened a gap in the defense of his sea of consciousness, allowing dark power to invade.

Of course, once inside, it was immediately transformed into the purest power by the Seven Realms Tome, starting to nourish Li Chen’s Divine Soul.

Li Chen’s current cultivation is Eighth Rank Shen Heaven Realm; he is still far from Ninth Order in both cultivation and Divine Soul, and such accidental nourishment indeed saves significant cultivation time for him in the future.

As for Li Chen’s physical body...

Even with the mystical lock blocking outside, after a brief struggle, Li Chen’s physical body was torn apart.

Of course, after just a short moment, Li Chen’s body recovered again.

This is where the Indestructible Body truly defies the norm; for other cultivators, once their physical body is destroyed, they only have the option of soul possession rebirth—or to abandon their physical body entirely to tread the path of Ghost Cultivation.

But the Ghost Realm has long been obliterated, and today’s cultivators even if they want to walk the path of Ghost Cultivation, they lack the cultivation techniques.

Therefore, the importance of the physical body for today’s cultivators is indeed unparalleled.

But it’s different for Body Refinement experts, especially those who reach the Indestructible Body realm, it’s very different.

Typical cultivators might think: "As long as my law divine ability is strong, I can instantly annihilate enemies! Cultivating the body is too time-consuming, laborious, and costly—it’s absolutely unnecessary!"

Indestructible Body cultivators might think: "Isn’t it just a physical body? Feel free, as long as you’re happy. If you can destroy me, I’ll admit defeat!"
