Lu Yu sensed an immensely powerful consciousness attempting to descend into his mind through the Holy Light rune, and he panicked slightly.
He hadn't expected that even after destroying the Holy Light rune, the other party could still bring its consciousness down and forcefully reverse the destruction of the rune.
"Damn! I knew these gods weren't to be trifled with, I've got a big problem now." Lu Yu felt the formidable aura within the Holy Light rune and realized his prepared countermeasures were useless.
In the Celestial Dao Hall of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, Zhao Tianjue suddenly opened his eyes. He was closest to the Heavenly Dao, allowing him to quickly sense the forces invading the Secret Realm of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
He sensed a consciousness attempting to enter the Secret Realm, mixed with a large amount of creatures' wish power.
Zhao Tianjue's Soul Power swept over that consciousness and shouted, "Where does this wild god come from, daring to cause trouble in the Divine Weapon Pavilion!"
The consciousness of the God of Light was pushed out of the Secret Realm by Zhao Tianjue's Soul Power, with over half of its remotely descended consciousness being destroyed in a single strike, and the consciousness continued to collapse, unable to maintain its existence.
It took one last look at Lu Yu, memorized Lu Yu's soul aura, and dispersed its soon-to-collapse descended consciousness.
In the distant Divine Kingdom of Light, the God of Light opened his eyes, blinding like the sun, filled with Holy Light, revealing ruthlessness within the radiant eyes.
"Is that the Eastern Realm of the Gods?"
"So powerful, so aspirational for the gods... such a multitude of humans without faith!"
The God of Light sensed from the Secret Realm of the Divine Weapon Pavilion a large number of humans without faith, yet possessing great strength. Powerful yet faithless humans are the best source of faith power. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
The faith power provided by a single strong individual is stronger than that provided by countless weak ones.
If he could obtain the faith power of the strong individual who defeated his avatar, the God of Light believed he might break through to the legendary realm and reach a higher level.
However, such strong individuals are unlikely to believe in gods, as they themselves are comparable to deities.
Watching as the Holy Light rune in his mind completely disappeared, along with all related memories erased, Lu Yu finally let out a sigh of relief. Now, even if the God of Light bore a grudge against him, he had lost his point of descent.
Now, as long as the imprint within the Holy Light Seed is erased, everything will be perfectly resolved.
After consuming several pills to restore Spiritual Power, Lu Yu tirelessly worked on erasing the imprint within the Holy Light Seed.
Although he didn't know why the God of Light's consciousness retreated at the last moment of descent, as long as he erases the imprint within the Holy Light Seed, he will be unrelated to the God of Light, and the Holy Light Seed will become his own possession.
An hour later, Lu Yu stood in the bamboo forest, gathering a ball of Holy Power in his palm.
This ball of Holy Power was converted from his Spiritual Power and was free from any consciousness, imprints, or other miscellaneous elements from the God of Light, making it much purer.
However, correspondingly, the applications of Holy Power were greatly diminished; it now only possessed strong purifying abilities, unable to enhance the human body or heal injuries.
Although it lost many auxiliary effects, it greatly enhanced its specificity against demonic energies.
If Celestial Falling Bright Flame destroys demons physically, then Holy Power obliterates them fundamentally; demons attacked by Holy Power will have all their Demonic Qi purified.
Even if demons appear unharmed on the surface, once the Demonic Qi that sustains their life disappears, they are already dead.
Taking out the Demon-Breaking Saber, Lu Yu activated the demon-breaking power within, carefully perceiving the difference between demon-breaking power and Holy Power.
Demon-breaking power is the force that restrains demonic energies, much like water restrains fire, and thunder restrains enchanted peaks.
Holy Power, however, is different; it purely purifies, cleansing all non-Holy Power forces. It not only targets demonic energies but also purifies other forces.
Therefore, Lu Yu doesn't retain Holy Power within his body, only converting it as needed; otherwise, Holy Power would purify his internal ice and fire Spiritual Power into purely attribute-less Spiritual Power.
