‘Ding,

The [Nether Rage Booster] has been increased to 3000 percent.

Each attack from the devil fishes dealt only a small cut on Leo’s body as his [Nether Rage Booster] would increase by 0.1 percent.

By the time he killed nearly 100 devil fishes, Leo started feeling tired.

Even though Leo was tired and even feeling a little dizzy from the blood loss, he was happy about the returns he got from killing the devil fishes.

Leo needed to kill a couple of devil fishes to completely fill his God Space with God Energy which Leo thought would help him in gaining the ascending status.

At the same time, Leo felt that his body got used to that unknown pressure, making him think of an idea on how to reach the bottom of the ocean.

‘Let’s take a break after killing two more devil fishes.’

There were still hundreds of Devil Fishes around Leo; however, Leo knew he could not fight them non-stop while receiving more cuts from them.

With that thought in mind, Leo planned something and started swimming to the surface.

‘Puchi’

‘Kacha’

‘Puchi’

Behind him, a dozen devil fishes followed whereas the remaining stayed back without showing any thoughts of following Leo.

‘Huh? Are they supposed to attack me only when I enter specific meters deep from the surface?’

Leo took care of those dozen devil fishes in a few seconds and increased his speed to the surface.

‘Ding,

The master has killed a peak legend grade devil fish (Ascending) and gained 0.5 units of God Energy.

‘Ding,

The master’s God Space has been filled completely. The excessive God Energy will be absorbed by the body.

‘Ding,

God Space: 100 units / 100 units of God Energy.

‘Ding,

Body Tempering: 48 units accumulated in the body.

Leo received a series of system notifications that showed the information about God Energy.

According to what Leo learned about God Energy and God Space, without a God Space, whenever someone kills an ascending beasts or beings, a certain amount of God Energy would be absorbed by the killer.

When that certain amount of God Energy reaches 100 units of God Energy, their bodies would undergo body tempering naturally and make their bodies stronger.

However, since Leo had unlocked God Space even before ascending to Godhood, that God Energy was accumulated inside God Space and when it was completely filled, by default, it would be absorbed by his body to undergo Body Tempering.

‘Compared to Body Tempering, I am more interested in gaining ascending status.’

Leo had already set his priorities and knew what he should do with God Energy collected in his God Space.

‘System, can I use 100 units of God Energy to gain the Ascending Status?’

Leo asked the system about it.

‘Ding,

The master can’t gain the Ascending Status just by spending 100 units of God Energy. There are other hidden requirements that the master has to fulfil.

‘Other hidden requirements?’

Leo frowned for a moment and didn’t bother to ask the system about them because he knew that the system won’t say what those hidden requirements are.

‘If I can’t gain the Ascending Status with the 100 units of God Energy, then I can only go with the Body Tempering.’

Leo knew that it was not easy to gain the ascending status. Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Leo went to the second best option for his current situation.

If he could undergo a Body Tempering with 100 units of God Energy, Leo’s body would naturally become stronger and his chances of clearing the trial would also increase.

‘However, in my current condition, it is not good to undergo body tempering.’

Even though Leo didn’t undergo body tempering with God Energy, he had a basic idea that it would be a painful process.

Since Leo’s body was already full of cuts and lost a lot of blood, Leo decided to wait until he stabilised his condition a little.

‘If I had a good healing cultivation technique, it would have been a great help; however, I neglected it because of all the talents I have.’

Leo looked at the cuts on his body and regretted not finding a healing cultivation technique because his passive healing was very slow.

‘Anyway, cultivating would increase my healing speed. Let’s cultivate.’

Even though the healing speed won’t be high, it would still be better than nothing. Therefore, Leo started cultivating with the hopes of healing his injuries as soon as possible.

‘Ding,

The master has cultivated for one hour and gained 10000 units of Starlight.

‘Ding,

The master….

.

.

….

Time continued to pass and in a flash, ten hours passed by,

‘Phew….finally, I feel good.’

The starlight energy that Leo absorbed per hour was very less; however, he still circulated his main cultivation technique for the 10 hours and successfully healed all his injuries.

‘I would have used recovery potions or awakening potions to quickly recover from my injuries; however, I am yet to reach the bottom of the sea.’

Leo thought of various potions he was holding and muttered the reason why he was not willing to use them.

In short, he stored them for now and used them when he encountered the devil beasts at the bottom of the sea.

‘Anyway, as long as I can clear this floor, I can become an elite challenger. So, there is no need to be stingy to use the trump cards when I encounter the devil beasts at the bottom of the ocean.’

Even though he was still on the ninth floor, Leo was not worried too much about using all his trump cards on this floor to clear it because he had saved a trump card for the last trial.

‘System, I want to undergo my first body tempering.’
