?879 A nightmare come to life!

Lex tuned out the ranting voice of the deranged deity as he felt his cultivation technique absorb the strangely warm, slightly scalding energy. For reasons beyond his understanding, Lex found himself reminiscing at this moment. 𝒇𝓻𝒆𝒆𝔀𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝓬𝓸𝓶

He could not help but think back to his life just a couple of years back. His daily routine was filled to the brim with dissatisfaction from start to finish. He would wake to the annoying, piercing ringing of his alarm, just short of getting enough sleep.

He would spend a decent amount of time getting ready for the day, often having leftovers or some barebones breakfast. Something was better than nothing because if he skipped a meal, he would become extremely tired around midday. He would shower, and though most of the time there was hot water, there had been more than one occasion where he had to use cold water due to maintenance or the apartment building's water heater breaking down.

His commute was annoying. His job was somewhat stimulating, but mostly tedious work. Some of his coworkers were nice, which was the highlight of his day. He used to come back home in the evening and some a bit outside his building because he just couldn't build up the strength to go inside and face his life. What remained of the day was spent watching television or playing games.

Of course, that was what life felt like when he had the tumor. Prior to that, he was a lot more enthusiastic about life, and looked forward to facing new challenges which he could overcome. But even so, his life seemed extraordinarily mundane.

Now, his life was nothing except simply extraordinary, and no comparison was needed. After all, Lex was standing on a planet an unknown number of galaxies away from the one he came from, in the middle of a battlefield consisting of numerous races, holding down a deity whose influence spanned across time and space, surrounded by devils, and cultivating a unique power to grow stronger.

Special attention must be given to the fact that he was actually cultivating right in the middle of the battlefield while suffering countless attacks from the devils! The extent of the danger he was in could not be understated!

Cultivation was an extremely delicate process, and the slightest disturbance could bring endless ruin. The consequence could range from anything, such as a minor body ache, to complete crippling or even death!

After all, Lex was using a unique and potent energy to fundamentally alter the makeup of his body and soul. If even a fraction of the energy required at each step deviated in the slightest, it could result in failure.

But Lex was still confident in himself, because there was no one around him even qualified to disturb his cultivation. He did not forget that the missile he shot out in space had not had any massive reaction yet, but maybe he was expecting too much…

"Master, I can feel divine energy entering your body. I don't know what you are doing, but you should be careful," Pel's voice entered Lex's mind, waking him from his thoughts. "There are different kinds of energies all around us. Cultivation usually absorbs all of them, and then converts them into the one that suites us, or simply filters out the ones we don't need. In the Golden core realm, you absorb them and convert them into your own unique energy, carrying your signature and your respective affinities and traits. But some energies carry specific affinities or traits inherently.

"Typically, you would get more in contact with the various energies when you reach the immortal realm, but since you're actively absorbing divine energy, I have to give you the proper warnings!

"Divine energy, when manifested, usually appears as different shades of white light, and so is perceived as an inherently good or pure energy. That is actually far from the truth! Divine energy, while exceptionally powerful, easily influences the spirit, and can cause the user to become conceited and self-absorbed! Over time, if not checked, it can cause the user's personality to become completely distorted! freeweb novel. com

"The two beings most who most commonly use divine energy, angels and deities, both often experience a process called falling, which is when they succumb to the corrupting influence of divine energy and completely lose themselves. It is not without reason that fallen angels and deities are much stronger than their former selves. It is because only in that state can they show the true power of divine energy!

"You, as a member of a race that does not have inherent resistance to the corruption of divine energy, are much more susceptible to its influence! If you wish to continue absorbing it, you must actively resist its sway!"

Lex was jolted awake, as if cold water had been splashed over him, when he heard Pelvailin's words! Even without realizing it, his thoughts had already fallen under the influence of divine energy. He could feel it acting on his confidence and ego, inflating it into arrogance and cocksure!

He immediately steadied his mind and paid careful attention to himself and his surroundings as his body absorbed divine energy like a sponge!

He could feel his cultivation rising bit by bit, and even his Domination evolving further. Once again, he was exposed to energy that was far beyond his level, and his cultivation technique was using it to elevate his level on the Cosmic Ascendance Spectrum.

Any shortcomings that were left in his being after being upgraded using a dragon as a base template were being filled with that of a living deity.

Unfortunately, both of these beings were known for their excessive arrogance, and Lex had to be very careful not to develop such a trait himself.

As Lex was planning out his cultivation path, one of the devils that was previously attacking him was having a panic attack. What the hell was this guy? Why was he more devilish than a devil, and more divine than a deity? He was like a nightmare, come to life!
