Chapter 502: Extreme Brilliant Light Limit Stage

[In other words, aside from illumination, the Lantern rank also emphasized range.]

[The previous three ranks were focused on creating, carrying, and sustaining light, the very foundation for a Light Bearer. But at the Lantern rank, the Light Bearer could now focus on increasing the illumination range of their light.]

[Of course, Lantern rank Light Bearers were still incapable of purifying the lands corrupted by the Perpetual Darkness.]

[At most, they could drive away the Perpetual Darkness temporarily, for as long as they stayed in that area and kept illuminating it with their light.]

[For a Light Bearer to be usable to society, they’d at least have to be at Lantern rank. And for them to reliably defeat Dark Monsters, Flash rank was the minimum requirement.]

[That didn’t mean that Light Bearers below Flash rank were incapable of defeating Dark Monsters. Due to them being incapable of projecting their light into a flash-like beam, Lantern rank Light Bearers and below were quite passive when dealing with Dark Monsters.]

[They’d have to rely on the light illuminated to deal with the Dark Monsters, unlike Flash rank Light Bearers who could project their light farther distances to attack Dark Monsters from afar.]

[’If a Light Bearer were to possess an item or artifact that could amplify their light and use it for combat, then it would be a different matter. But since cases like those were a minority, it was already common view that only Flash rank Light Bearers could fight Dark Monsters.’]

[Having already taken out the radiant crystals, you didn’t hesitate to absorb them.]

[Several days later, the ping-pong-ball-sized candlelight had grown to the size of a basketball.]

[When its size increased that much, its illumination range had also vastly increased. Unlike the candle flame from before, the basketball-sized light was now in the form of a lantern fire.]

[You’ve successfully become an Extreme Lantern rank Light Bearer!]

[As an Extreme Lantern rank Light Bearer, you could create a lantern to illuminate the surroundings and drive away the Perpetual Darkness.]

[Inside the lantern, the lantern fire could be fueled further with light energy, allowing it to illuminate even farther distances.]

[The average Lantern rank Light Bearer could only manifest a lantern and wield it to drive away the Perpetual Darkness with the lantern light.]

[But in your case, you could even use the manifested lantern to use its glass-like surface to magnify the lantern light emitted, releasing it like a flash.]

[In other words, despite being an Extreme Lantern rank Limit Stage Light Bearer, you could project light like a Flash rank Light Bearer!]

[Even a Lantern rank Light Bearer at the Peak Stage could only create one lantern at most, yet you could create multiple of them, with the limit being your light energy.]

[If you wanted to, it wasn’t impossible to create countless lanterns that could project beams of light like light turrets!]

[Having already become an Extreme Lantern rank Light Bearer, you were even more formidable than the average Moonlight rank Light Bearers in terms of combat power and light quality.]

[The benefits of reaching the Extreme rank in the Light Bearer Path ensured that you would be invincible among Light Bearers and Dark Monsters of the same rank, let alone those above you.]

[’Above Extreme Lantern rank is Extreme Flash rank. With my resources, I can strive to not only reach it, but also the Extreme Brilliant Light above it.’]

[Taking out the ninth-grade radiant crystals as usual, you spent a month devouring the light energy contained within them.]

[By the time you were done, you had already advanced to Extreme Brilliant Light rank Limit Stage!]

[Having already expanded your Extreme Light Bearer Training Method to the upper limit of Light Emperor rank, you merely had to pile up resources to increase your rank.]

[After all, developing the extreme training method had already allowed you to gain the corresponding insights and knowledge of that specific extreme rank. As the developer of it, no one in the world knew it better than you.]

[Moreover, with the extreme training method customized for your simulation talents, innate talents, and bloodline, even the Spirit of Light Luminox would find it difficult to progress well using your Extreme Light Bearer Training Method.]

[The lower and middle ranks might not be an issue to him, but the later ranks would definitely cause Luminox to be stuck in rank advancement, hitting a bottleneck due to insufficient talent and comprehension.]

[In your development of the Extreme Flash rank, you were no longer merely projecting light into the real world. Instead, you were to materialize it.]

[After all, the Extreme Lantern rank was already capable of projecting light due to the modifications you’ve made to it. So, the Extreme Flash rank was instead capable of materializing the light you created and allowing you to use it in combat.]

[’At the Extreme Flash rank, the materialization of light allows me to shape light into whatever form I want it to be. Whether it’s to create a sword, armor, or light bullets, the Extreme Flash rank is capable of doing those and even more.’]

[’It’s no longer limited to just projecting light in a flash-like beam attack. That job is already assigned to the Extreme Lantern rank.’]

[Due to this, it wasn’t an issue for you to reach the Extreme Flash rank Limit Stage, even advancing further to the Extreme Brilliant Light rank.]

[As the rank above the Extreme Flash rank, the Extreme Brilliant Light rank focused on a different aspect of light. In the normal ranks, a Flash rank Light Bearer could project their light, while a Brilliant Light rank Light Bearer focused on creating an overwhelming light!]

[In other words, the light of a Brilliant Light rank Light Bearer would be so bright and brilliant that it could overwhelm the Perpetual Darkness. It all focused on the intensity and concentration of the inner light!]

[With the ability to project light gained from the previous rank, the Brilliant Light rank acted more to amplify the previous intensity, thereby allowing a Light Bearer to inflict much more serious damage against Dark Monsters!]
