Chapter 12: A Blessing in Disguise! Ascending to Godhood by Devouring a Remnant Spirit!

"Brother Tianming, come back! Don't jump down!"

The moment Ye Qingxue saw Lin Tianming jump, she tried to stop him.

However, she was a step too late, and Lin Tianming had already dived into the water.

"Come up quickly, Brother Tianming! This black water will make your soul scatter!"

Ye Qingxue was genuinely worried for Lin Tianming, to the point where she forgot that she couldn't tell him about the corrosive nature of the black water, which could disintegrate one's soul.

If she exposed this, and Lin Tianming insisted on asking, she wouldn't be able to explain the secret of her reincarnation.

But now, she couldn't worry about that anymore.

Just as she finished urging Lin Tianming to come up, his body was instantly consumed and disintegrated by the boiling black water.

Seeing this, Ye Qingxue collapsed to the ground.

"Dead... is he dead?"

At the same time, Lin Tianming's disintegrated body caused his soul to enter a strange space.

Here, every corner was filled with a soul energy that resonated deeply with his own.

In this place, Lin Tianming felt a nourishing joy from the abundant soul energy.

As his soul continued to be nourished, it underwent a profound transformation, ascending to a higher level.

Recalling the inscription about the fated one, Lin Tianming smiled.

"It seems I was right! This Ascension Pool must be a legacy left by the fallen beings of the Spirit Energy Kingdom!"

His soul immediately sat cross-legged, beginning to absorb the overflowing soul energy.

Before long, Lin Tianming's soul completed its transformation, becoming more resilient than before.

Moreover, he comprehended a unique skill that only those who underwent the Spirit Energy Ascension could:

**Soul Spark.**

Lin Tianming slowly opened his eyes and couldn't wait to test the Soul Spark skill.

At that moment, Lin Tianming realized that this so-called opportunity was actually a trap set by the fallen being of the Spirit Energy Kingdom for its resurrection.

Facing the overwhelming speed, Lin Tianming's trapped soul couldn't evade and was directly invaded by the mysterious presence.

"The spirit energy within your soul is even richer than it appeared from outside, hahaha! You are a perfect soul indeed, worthy of my Spirit Energy Ascension Pool's lure! Now that you are a soul without a body, you are the ideal prey for me!"

"Go peacefully! By consuming your abundant spirit energy, I will be revived! Then, I will attack the Gene Kingdom and tear apart that Star Key Angel!"

Despite not considering Lin Tianming's resistance a threat, as a powerful god at the peak of the Spirit Energy Ascension path, he found consuming Lin Tianming's soul effortless.

Even against a god, Lin Tianming wouldn't go down without a fight.

"You're not consuming me that easily!"

Refusing to give up, Lin Tianming resisted fiercely. Soon, to his surprise, something extraordinary happened.

His bodiless soul began to solidify, showing signs of forming a physical body once again.

Lin Tianming remembered the mysterious presence mentioning that he was prey without a body.

What if he regained his body?

With this thought, Lin Tianming focused his mind on reconstituting his physical form.

Though it seemed incredible, Lin Tianming had no other choice but to try.

Amazingly, driven by his intense desire to restore his body, his soul started to solidify faster.

As Lin Tianming's ethereal soul began to solidify, the mysterious presence invading his soul started to be gradually assimilated by Lin Tianming's soul.

If this continued, the presence that intended to consume Lin Tianming's soul would end up being devoured by Lin Tianming's soul instead.

"This... this is impossible! Your body was destroyed by the Spirit Energy Ascension Pool I tampered with. How can you reform it?"

"Nothing is impossible!"

Lin Tianming's unwavering will couldn't be shaken.

The once arrogant presence now felt panic as it sensed its remnant soul being gradually devoured by Lin Tianming.

"Even I, a god, couldn't achieve what I wanted through sheer will... Is this the ultimate state of Spirit Energy Ascension... where the mind triumphs over matter? How could a newly awakened ascender reach this highest soul state?"

"No... no! I've clung to this remnant soul for ten thousand years for revival... I can't... I haven't yet avenged myself on that damned Star Key Angel, nor proven that the Spirit Energy Ascension path is the only route to the ultimate... I... can't accept this!"
