518 Wreaking Havoc in the Heaven Reaching Pagoda (2/2)
Neither of the two combatants wanted to go easy on the other!
However, Feng Lin had the augmentation from the spirit force; his strength flowed endlessly.
After bitterly battling for two more hours, Feng Lin grabbed hold of an opportunity that existed only when the other party was taking a breath. He used his full force in his cudgel and blasted his opponent to the ground. His opponent was completely exhausted and no longer had the strength to stand up.
Genetic potential +2,500, +2,600, +2,700…
Every time, after a battle, the growth speed of his genetic potential grew faster and faster.
However, Feng Lin didn't stop here.
The higher he climbed, the greater the difficulty of the Heaven Reaching Pagoda!
However, the genetic potential he received after each battle also increased by a lot.
Hence, Feng Lin advanced courageously, overcoming every level.
Level 9,200, level 9,300, level 9,400…
Boundless spirit force gathered, reinforcing him.
As though he didn't know fatigue, he continued breaking through the levels, advancing vigorously.
His genetic potential also grew with ferocious speed as he fought.
Genetic potential +3,000, +3,500, +4,000…
The Heaven Reaching Pagoda contained the most elite cultivators in the universe. Through each battle he fought, Feng Lin's understanding toward the essence of mythological genes grew increasingly clear, and they transformed into rations that were promoting his self-evolution.
Hence, he continued to add points without stopping.
Chaotic World Demonic Monkey Gene +1, +1, +1…
Daofruit Gene +1, +1, +1...
The increase in genetic points provided an impetus for his vitality to soar rapidly.
Vitality +100,000, +100,000, +100,000…
His vitality stat erupted and soon broke the million-mark.

As his stats increased, Feng Lin continued evolving.
The higher levels of the pagoda that were like unreachable sky in the eyes of others were all trampled under Feng Lin's feet.
Ultimately, he stood beneath an incomparably majestic giant gate.
Level 10,000 of the Heaven Reaching Pagoda.
In an instant, countless gazes turned over. The gigantic Heaven Reaching Pagoda trembled because of this. In fact, there were also countless gazes turning over from the universe.
Feng Lin now simply drew in a deep breath. He didn't make any preparations and pushed the gate open. After that, he saw…
Nothingness, complete nothingness...
It was not darkness…
There was no air, no sound, no light—complete nothingness.
Color lost their meaning, so how could there be darkness?
Only nothingness existed thoroughly, as though it was devouring everything in the world, causing people to feel extreme fear and panic.
Feng Lin stood in there; his mind was vacant for a time.
Boundless emptiness filled his heart. It was like everything in the world lost its significance. All his thoughts vanished, he couldn't summon any notion of resistance.
”Wrong!” He sensed something wrong in his heart. This caused him to be shocked awake.
”Deliberately acting mysterious, scram out for me!” Falling into his opponent's trap even before seeing one, Feng Lin was shocked and angered. He shouted and brandished the Measureless Divine Metal Cudgel wildly.
Each of his strikes was filled with immense might, capable of destroying mountains and shattering stars. They were strong enough to break space itself. But now, he was hitting the 'nothingness'. There was no effect at all.
Time, space, substance, energy… Other than himself, it was as though nothing else existed.
”It's useless! The myriad of things in the universe was originally nothingness. They have no meaning. You are a mere human, so why bother to struggle?” All of a sudden, an incomparably cold and detached voice drifted over.
No, this was not a voice.
This place was completely empty. The concept and meaning of a voice didn't exist. That was just a message or idea that appeared abruptly in Feng Lin's heart due to his current circumstances.
”The universe was originally nothingness? What does that has got to do with me?” Feng Lin wasn't shocked, he was smiling instead. ”If I exist, everything is real! Since there's nothing in the universe, I...shall be the light!”
As he spoke until here, he smiled as he regarded the nothingness in the surroundings. His hands slowly raised as he mumbled.
”I say: Let there be light!”
Hence…
There was light!
