Lirian felt the energy bursting through his body and a look of intoxication filled his face as he felt power real power enter his body again.

The revival embryo did more than just give him power it also healed all his internal injuries, restoring his body to its peak state.

Lirian didn't use any of his esper techniques to redirect the energy and alter the form of his waylines he allowed the energy to flow through the waylines he was born with.

"So, this is samsaric esper breath," Lirian mutter while clenching his fist, "It's different than I expected though surprisingly it's at the intermediate level and not an elementary esper technique," Lirian mused.

The power was very different in its nature compared to the breath created by his techniques, it didn't carry the destructive properties and it held a sort of sacredness that Lirian was struggling to understand.

Esper techniques were usually created by geniuses amongst geniuses, and even to them it would take a while for them to fully grasp the power of their esper techniques.

If this was an ordinary elementary technique Lirian didn't doubt his ability to fully analyse and understand the technique but the level of the technique was too advanced for him to analyse it and the system didn't have the resources to do an analyses.

'I can feel the law of samsara in my body,' Lirian realised with widened eyes, the law was so different from what he believed it to be and in his case the law was like an inseparable part of his existence.

Lirian had desperately tried to study the law of samsara during his past lives but it always ended in failure as the law was extremely complex even for him, but he believed that by understanding it he would be able to break his cycle of rebirth.

Over time Lirian had learned a lot about the law and he could use it on himself to a slight degree, but currently he was gaining an understanding of the law like never before and he knew that this was just the surface.

It would take hundreds of thousands of years for him to unearth the true essence of his power, which was a short time in comparison to the countless years he spent trying to understand the law in vein.

'It looks like I don't have any other laws or elemental energies in my body, I suppose this is what it means to be born a god,' Lirian thought, usually by the time one becomes a god aside from the laws they specialise in and linked their essence to, they would have hundreds of other high level laws and elemental energies fused into their body.

'It's no matter this is enough,' he said to himself with a determined look in his eyes.

Lirian felt the laws in the world that were rushing to protect him shattering continuously disturbing his thoughts.

Lirian faced his enemy and his eyes snapped open like a spark of brilliance his eyes illuminated the world for he could see the world once more.

Lirian wasn't actually blind, his blindness was brought about by his body that was unable to handle the power of his eyes, but so long as his body adjusted for two hundred years or he reached the third-grade his eyes would regain their light.

'Such a waste of energy,' Lirian though with a ridicule as he watched the pugilist crash through the laws while shouting the name of his attack bringing a fist filled with elemental energy down to his face.

Lirian raised a palm casually and with a simple thought the energy of the pugilist moved into Lirian in surging waves and was redirected into the ground, after causing complete destruction on the world.

When the shaking ground returned to its normal state Lirian looked on unimpressed at the pugilist whose eyes were filled with disbelief at Lirian's actions.

"It's such a pity that thrash like you has such a move, here I'll show you how to execute it properly, take it as a parting gift," Lirian mocked the pugilist, but the pugilist didn't hear the mocking tone.

He only heard the devilish voices within Lirian that all spoke as one, just the power of those voices was enough to damage his mind and make it almost impossible to form coherent thoughts.

Lirian's voice resembled death it was vile and savage, but the most nerve wrecking part of it was the divinity it held, like every word spoken was a decree that must be obeyed.

Lirian sincerely believed that in the hands of any decent pugilist that the combat art the pugilist practiced had the power to punch a hole through a star and make it collapse on itself, but since he was dealing with thrash he held no expectations.

Lirian quickly ran a finger over the pugilist's dantian and spine, the two centres of power that make a pugilist and he found the elemental energies of earth and fire the pugilist used to create the earlier attack.

With a thought Lirian ripped the elemental energies from the pugilist making him howl in pain as the energies damaged his centre's of power on their way out of his body.

The pugilist panted while holding himself up on his hand as he stared at Lirian in disbelief, "You! How? What did you…?" the pugilist fumbled his words in disbelief.

He could understand laws and elemental energies going rampant, it was a rare occurrence, but it did happen from time to time.

But for laws and elemental energies to be ripped out of someone's body and so quickly at that, it was inconceivable to the pugilist.

Laws and elemental energies could usually only be suppressed and forced to go rampant by those that held higher level laws and elemental energies, and extractions could only be done on corpses.

But the hardest thing for the pugilist to believe was Lirians power when Lirian redirected his attack earlier he felt Lirian's cultivation, he was only at the fifth stage of the sixth grade while he was at the fourth stage of the seventh grade with an advanced second accord cultivation technique.

Yet he felt powerless before Lirian.

"I just took your elemental energies," Lirian said nonchalantly shrugging his shoulders, "It's easy peezy lemon squeezy," Lirian added but his voice sounded anything but nonchalant.

"Don't tell me that you've never seen someone do such a thing," Lirian rubbed his chin thoughtfully, in truth Lirian knew that it was unlikely that anyone in the mortal realm could perform such a thing, he was just enjoying humiliating the pugilist.

To make a person powerless by stripping their power then using the same power they were so proud of to kill them, that was what it meant to truly humiliate someone.

Lirian opened his hands and the two elemental energies spun in his palm releasing their energy into his body, "It looks like even your elementals are desperate to see you off," Lirian said with a cold chuckle.

Lirian tightened his fist and began to imitate the pugilist's movements with ease, but he suddenly came to a halt as his samsaric power began to emerge from his body and took on a corporeal form.

'Huh, I guess that I couldn't keep you tucked away after all,' Lirian thought as silver energy with a black tinge seeped out of his body rushing into the sky and pushed its way even further beyond the atmospheric shell of the planet.

It was as if the power in his body was declaring that neither the earth nor the heavens were worthy of it as it placed itself above all.

Then the energy began to take on the form of a silver serpent as it paraded itself through space, and it released such oppressive might that all things in the universe seemed tiny in comparison.

Lirian knew a fair bit about body constitutions, from his experience he knew that the constitutions were like a gift from the heavens that held a degree of sentience, but never before did he see a special constitution that placed itself even above the heavens.

From the standpoint of the special constitutions, the heavens were like a parent, so placing themselves above the heavens was like an act of blasphemy, but Lirian whose existence was fundamentally linked to that power could feel its overbearingness.

The power truly placed itself above all things and it showcased its might to all who bore witness, and it was also a reminder to Lirian by his own power, it was his power telling him how powerful it was and that he had to live up to it or it would consume him entirely.

"So this is the power of my godly constitution," Lirian muttered as the serpent in the sky closed it's mouth on its tail.

With that done it released a sacred aura onto the world as it blocked out the entire sky with its body despite it being high up in space, it looked as if it was floating above the clouds.

"You, what are you?" the pugilist cried out with his body trembling in fear, Lirian himself was already enough to make the pugilist give up, but that snake that was released from his body was like using the ocean to drown an ant, it was just too much.

Lirian wasn't paying too much attention to the pugilist with his eyes fixed on the ouroboros, 'So my sign is a snake, I wonder what it would be like to defang it,' Lirian wondered as he looked at the fangs on the apparition.

'Those fangs are large enough to go in through one side of a planet and come out the other side they could totally replace a planets axis,' Lirian thought in wonder, he always had a thing about snakes when he saw one he had an unbelievable urge to defang it.

Looking at his apparition that was the first thought that came to mind.

'Sssssss'

A sharp hiss left the snakes mouth that made the entire world shake, Lirian's eyes widened as he realised that the hiss was aimed at him, the apparition was apart of him so it made sense that it could understand his thoughts.

Lirian didn't bother to respond to it, it did belong to him so he didn't care.

After a while the apparition remained not showing any sign of disappearing so Lirian turned his focus back to the pugilist, "Where were we?" Lirian asked with all the wonder in his eyes gone as killing intent filled his eyes.
