"However … according to my speculations, after becoming a deity, it should be when I completely transform into a Heavenly Horned Ant. Why is there no reaction?" Suddenly, Zhou Tong thought of an extremely important question. According to his own deductions, when he became a deity, that was when he truly transformed into a Heavenly Horned Ant.
However, right now, there was no reaction at all. His body was still stuck at the final step.
When he examined himself, the golden radiance within his body was already rich to the extreme. However, he was still a hair away from becoming a true Heavenly Horned Ant.
"Do I need the stimulation of divine force?" Zhou Tong muttered to himself for a bit. He poured earth divine force into his body, but there was no reaction.
"Could it be that I need the stimulation of merging divine force?" Zhou Tong was also a bit hesitant. At the same time, he once again operated divine force according to the trajectory of his unique innate skill.
Previously, when this unique innate skill's trajectory had just appeared, he had already tested it out. However, at that time, his body was too weak, unable to endure it.
Meanwhile, now that his body was getting closer and closer to the Heavenly Horned Ant, even though his body was still in a bit of pain, now that he operated this type of energy, he already wouldn't be seriously injured like before.
"It's still useless … I can't feel any use. Could it be that it is like Reisgem's Amethyst Space, needing to merge certain profound mysteries before it can be used? "Zhou Tong continued to study this type of energy's trajectory.
Unique innate skills were different from innate divine abilities. They weren't things that one could suddenly use, but rather needed to be researched for a period of time. The Amethyst Divine Beast wasn't born with the ability to merge the Earth Throbbing Pulse and Gravitational Space.
He continued to sit here and research for half a year, but he still couldn't find any clues.
"Forget it, I should let the Water Elemental Laws, Fire Elemental Laws, and Destruction Elemental Laws become deities first." Zhou Tong temporarily gave up on researching these things. Instead, he prepared to let his remaining three types of profound mysteries become deities.
It was because only when all four types reached the lower deity level could his Soul Mutation's greatest effects and power be displayed. That is … merging divine force.
Every time he merged a type of divine force, the power would increase tenfold.
When a Low-Level Deity fused two types of divine power, they could reach the standard of a Mid-Level Deity's divine power. When three types of divine power fused, they could reach the level of a High-Level Deity's divine power. When four types of divine power fused, they could surpass a High-Level Deity's divine power.
If Zhou Tong's four elements all reached the Demigod level, then just by relying on his divine power and soul, his combat power would be at the Five Star Fiend level. If by then, he could transform into a true Heavenly Horned Ant, then given the terrifying toughness of his body, reaching the Six Star Fiend level wouldn't be a problem at all.
Generally speaking, in the Infernal Realm, Gods were at the level of one to two Star Fiends. Highgods who fused with divine sparks could reach the level of three Star Fiends, while Highgods who became Deities on their own were generally at the level of four Star Fiends. Five Star Fiends fused two profound mysteries, Six Star Fiends fused three profound mysteries, and Seven Star Fiends fused four profound mysteries.
"Continue cultivating!" Zhou Tong did not think too much and continued cultivating.
His divine earth clone naturally continued to analyze the Laws of the Earth, while his true body focused on analyzing the Laws of Water. After reaching the Deity level, the upper limits of his soul had been shattered by the natural Laws. By now, the quality of his soul was already infinitely close to that of a Highgod. Naturally, the speed of his deductions had increased dramatically.
The Elemental Laws of Water originally needed at least seven or eight years to reach the Deity level, but now, with Zhou Tong's terrifyingly powerful soul, the speed of his deductions had reached an unfathomably high level.
After Zhou Tong focused on comprehending for half a year …
"Rumble …"
The natural Laws descended, and a Demigod divine spark of water emerged from the void. Accompanied by a wave of intense pain, Zhou Tong's soul once more split in two, and yet another divine clone was born.
"After becoming a Deity of water, I can finally experiment with fusing divine power!" Zhou Tong willed it, and instantly, two streams of divine power began to roar around him like divine dragons. When they collided, the two streams of divine power didn't resist at all. They perfectly fused together, and even the color of the divine power changed.
Previously, the earthen yellow earth-style divine power and the azure-green water-style divine power had now fused together, becoming a jade-green color. This jade-green divine power began to vibrate within Zhou Tong's body.
"Hey? There's a reaction! " Suddenly, Zhou Tong had a thought. He could sense that the golden light within his body seemed to have become a bit more active, and he could vaguely sense that it was about to evolve.
"So it really does need to be stimulated by fusing divine power in order to truly take that final step!" Zhou Tong understood.
"If the fusion of water and earth isn't enough, then I'll add fire and destruction!" Zhou Tong didn't do any more experiments. Instead, he continued to train. This time, the focus of his training was on fusing the Profound Mysteries of Explosion and the Edicts of Destruction.
This step was far more difficult than the previous ones. First of all, these two profound mysteries were the ones Zhou Tong had comprehended the least. Second of all, they were different types of profound mysteries, and so the difficulty of fusing them was countless times greater than that of other profound mysteries.
This time, he spent a total of nine years before finally reaching the Deity level.
"Rumble …"
The natural Laws descended. The scorching aura of fire elemental essence and the destructive divine power of destruction began to condense. The Elemental Laws of Fire and the Edicts of Destruction simultaneously broke through, and two divine sparks descended.
From now on, Zhou Tong's most basic elements of earth, fire, water, and destruction had all become Deities. All four of his divine clones were complete.
"This time, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"
Earthen yellow, scarlet red, green, and pitch-black. The four colors of divine power fused together, and all the other colors were completely dyed black. And then, this black energy fused into Zhou Tong's original body …
"Ah!" A wave of intense pain instantly appeared, and Zhou Tong couldn't help but let out a furious roar.
"Swish!"
Zhou Tong's clothes were instantly torn apart. At the same time, a dazzling golden light erupted from his body, and Zhou Tong's body began to transform. This transformation was something that even he himself was unable to control.
The golden halo of light constantly absorbed the pitch-black fused divine power, growing stronger and stronger, more and more terrifying.
"Crunch!"
Golden light flashed, and a golden horn appeared between Zhou Tong's eyebrows. It was extremely sharp, piercing through the void. At the same time, it was as if a layer of golden carapace had appeared on his entire body.
Following the transformation, the pain on Zhou Tong's body gradually weakened. But at this moment, regardless of whether it was his skin, his internal organs, or his four limbs and bones … his entire body seemed to have countless tiny nodes that were constantly trembling and jumping. His body also became somewhat excited during this process.
His transformation became more and more terrifying, and in the end, he didn't even look human anymore. His entire body had become a large golden ant with a single horn.
"It really succeeded! My bloodline's mutation has finally reached its end. Heavenly Horned Ant!!" Zhou Tong was wildly overjoyed. His body was still absorbing the fused divine power, continuously transforming, but Zhou Tong could sense the extremely terrifying power contained within his body.
His entire body was covered in a shining golden carapace, as well as the single horn on his forehead. Every single one of them was extremely tough.
The golden halo of light swirled, and waves of powerful aura emanated from Zhou Tong's body. Such a terrifying aura completely intimidated all of the Abyssal Blade Demons on the eleventh floor of the Necropolis of the Gods.
Just a hint of the aura that leaked out was enough to make their entire bodies feel powerless and their minds tremble.
