Chapter 533 Body to Energy

Chapter 533 Body to Energy

Reaching the Sixth Stage leads to an intrinsic transformation of both the mind and body. This transformation allows a Sixth Stage Being to get closer to the Laws, a state that is essential for Transcendence.

Once a being reaches the Sixth Stage, his/her body shall break down, and be transformed into the energy or essence corresponding to their Power System.

For example, an Abyss Monster like Alex will have a body made up of Abyss Energy at the Sixth Stage, while an Esper like Alina will have her body composed of entirely Mental Power. As for the Immortals, their bodies will be transformed into Immortal Qi, with deviations depending on the Dao that they comprehended.

Sixth Stage Beings can still retain their organic forms, but if needed, their bodies can be transformed entirely into energy or essence alone.

By turning one’s body into pure energy/essence, a Sixth Stage Being can use his/her abilities at their maximum potential, as transforming into energy/essence allows the comprehension and creation of more powerful abilities.

Also, a Sixth Stage Being can use their comprehension of the energies to degrade any attack of a lowered-stage being back into its energy form.

A powerful lightning from a spellcaster can be reverted by a Sixth Stage Sorcerer back into Mana, making the attack ineffective. In the same case, an Esper-based attack from a weak Esper can be neutralized by someone like Alex, with this attack turned back into pure Mental Power.

These effects were the reason for the overbearing power of Sixth Stage Beings. Their energy bodies allow them to dish out domineering attacks that are way beyond the strength of lower-stage beings, and it also protects them from the attacks that will be used on them.

With these kind of abilities, it is almost impossible for any lowered-stage beings to win against a Sixth Stage Being. Those who actually managed to win only did so through luck, something that not everyone in this Multiverse had.

Since Alex and Alina had already reached the Sixth Stage, they were bound to reach this kind of level too. But since they just reached the Sixth Stage a few hours ago, they will still need time in order to make sense of their energy bodies and their new abilities.

The same thing however cannot be said for the Crimson God and the Great TimeMaster.

These two, who had already reached the Peak of the Sixth Stage already, hold powers and abilities that can only be said to be beyond what any normal being can comprehend now, including Alex and Alina.

As such, Alex and Alina could only watch as the energy clones of the two Returning Travelers began to show the full capabilities of a Sixth Stage Being.

"Boom boom boom!"

The Great TimeMaster’s energy clone and her boat could not be seen at this point, as both of them had transformed to form a green cloud of what looked like to be Time Essence. This cloud of Time Essence blotted the sky with its large form, turning the area under it dark.

"Shuong~"

The appearance of this Time Essence created fluctuations around the area, inducing disturbing changes on the time flow.

The flight of some nearby birds have visibly slowed down, while some just completely stopped in the air. Some of the rivers had their flow reversed, while some objects began to randomly appear and disappear.

These changes in time were more prominent the nearer one gets to the green cloud, making it and its tendrils a real-life danger zone.

Alex’s body should have been under these changes too, but Alina’s protection allowed him to withstand the effects of the cloud.

".."

Unlike the Great TImeMaster’s transformation, the body of the Crimson God’s clone still retained its solid form.

However, his current body appeared to be made up of his signature crimson liquid, which turned him into a crimson, slime-like being

"Roar!" There were no astonishing changes that accompanied the Crimson God clone’s transformation, but judging by the sudden increase of his murderous aura, it is plausible that his innate powers has increased.

Whatever energy the Crimson God’s clone has transformed too, it must have been something designed to increase his overall power, especially his vitality.

"Boom boom boom!"

At the sight of these two transformations, which were both threatening to tear the area around them, Alex could only lower his head as he lost the strength to even look up at them.

"... So this the strength of an energy clone from a Half-Step Transcendent Being. Just seeing its transformation into its energy form is enough to suffocate me.... " Alex thought solemnly as he tried his best to make his body move.

This attempt of his almost failed, but in the end, he has managed to take one more peek at the clones of the Returning Travelers above.

Seeing them made Alex’s eyes hurt, but he did not pull his eyes away. Instead, he forced himself to stare at the clones above, as he knew that observing them was his chance to upgrade his own skills!

"Hmm, if their clones can make me become like this, then their main bodies must be powerful enough to kill me with a stare! Sigh, if that’s the truth then I must really train faster now..." Alex thought as he felt multiples streams of blood pouring out of his eyes. The sensation of his blood pouring out made Alex grit his teeth, as he realized that he just reached his limit.

But even with that, Alex still continued to stare above him, even when all of his orifices began to bleed too.

"Tsk, it’s really good for me that the Great TimeMaster was here. If she wasn’t, then I will really have a hard time surviving against the Crimson God..." Alex thought as he ignored Alina’s concerned shout behind him. "Hehe, since I don’t have to run for my life now, then I should use my time to observe the fight between these two! This will surely be helpful to me!"

"..."

At this point, the only thing that Alex can do was to wait, as the clash between the Crimson God’s clone and the Great TimeMaster’s clone is not yet starting.

Even if their bodies were only clones, the two Returners looked like they did not want to attack first.

Instead, these two Returners were both in a passive state, with their bodies stationary in one place. It was as if none of them were willing to attack quickly, a fact that could make them look like cowards.

However, these two Returners were no cowards at all.

Power could be seen gathering inside their bodies, making it apparent that while they were stationary, the Crimson God and the Great TimeMaster were still investing to make an attack.

As for why they were not yet attacking, they might be both trying to look for openings, or they might just be building up power for a single powerful attack.

Whatever the reason for this wait was, it was already an inevitable fact that any second now, someone from the two Returners will make their move.

As for who it could be, Alex does not care. He just wanted the fight to start already, as he felt that he only had a limited time to view the fight!

"Come on... why don’t you two just make a move now? My body’s bleeding already, and my ears feel wet! I can’t just stay like this for long, so please fight already!" Alex thought angrily as he kept trembling body still. "Come on, just zap some of your powers, and it will be-F**k!"

Just as when Alex was anticipating a good fight, a sudden interference came out of nowhere, making him cuss out in both shock and anger.

How could Alex not be shocked and angry?

Just now, Alex felt that another powerful presence was making its way towards their place, which he almost missed because of the auras released by the Great TimeMaster and the Crimson God.

If it was earlier, Alex could just dismiss this presence as nothing, as he was more focused on the fight that was about to happen above him.

But now that he detected it, all that Alex could feel was panic, as the power released by this presence was equivalent to that of the Great TimeMaster!

In short, the incoming visitor was another Returning Traveler, who undoubtedly came in this place because of the current events!

This discovery made Alex laugh hoarsely, as he realized that things had just escalated beyond his control.

"Hahaha, why the f**k would another one of them come here? Shouldn’t they just watch while the Crimson God and the Great TimeMaster duke it out? F**k, should I really just run away now?" Alex thought angrily as he felt that the newcomer was about to arrive in a few more seconds.

He had the urge to really run away now, as he knew that even with the Great TimeMaster’s power, fighting two Returning Travelers at the same time will be hard for her, especially if she has to protect Alex!

"Tsk, and here I thought that the other Returning Travelers are more interested on watching things play here. It seems like... some of them wants to join in!"
