Myriad Devils-Chapter 287: I Am...

When the power displayed reached the realm of the Dimension Lord, cosmic imageries manifested in the world, and each imagery contained endless secrets of Heaven & Earth.

Although there wasn’t anyone in this Realm Heaven who had reached the Dimension Lord, the power at play had touched upon this realm.

The Realm Heaven continued to suppress the destructiveness of this realm of power, desperately attempting to prevent its own collapse.

Luckily, although a multitude of Dimension Lord powers were at play here, what the four Schools of Thought were able to display was barely on the cusp of the Entry-Level Dimension Lord realm.

Most importantly, Elshen’s strength had been reduced.

"Back then, it was that Profundity Mountain which allowed me to dominate confrontations against other realm fathers," Mystic Profundity Matriarch pondered aloud, "However, the soul of this Realm Father Elshen is too strange. I wonder why his soul is completely unaffected?"

"Your father has gifted you with a splendid hand, hasn’t he?" Savage Blood Emperor’s voice resounded outside the Realm Heaven.

Charming giggles sounded, and Mystifying Jade Fantasy’s voice resounded out, "Savage Blood Emperor must be jesting. You make it sound as if my father’s suggestion has made the game unfair, when in truth, it has given you all a reason to unite against me."

"Mystifying Jade Fantasy isn’t wrong." A great olden voice intervened, "With all four schools uniting, they’ve even unveiled Realm Father Elshen’s weakness."

"Indeed. Though his principle of Fire only seems to’ve been enlightened to 20%, the power it can display strangely trespasses into the realm of Dimension Lord. On top of that, his insights into the Bladed pathway are at the absolute pinnacle of the Realm Father." The Lord of Black & White assessed.

"However, his willpower, though at the Third Level, isn’t near the Fourth. I’m surprised he can still resist your Cosmic treasure of Yore, oh Enlightened Yellow Dust." The Lord wondered.

The great olden voice resounded again, "I am also intrigued. This Realm Father Elshen... he is an interesting one."

"Hehehe," Mystifying Jade Fantasy teased, "How I bet you are intrigued. Why don’t you beg me? I can reveal a secret or two..."

How rare was a realm father wielding Ten-Fold strength?

This was a Realm Father who, along with mastering the Fourth Rank of a Divine Battle Art, or all the forms of a Basic Supreme Armament, had supplementary Top-Tier cosmic treasures, and had enlightened 29% of their principle.

Only a handful existed.

But Elshen didn’t have cosmic treasures, and he hadn’t enlightened 29% of his principle either.

The one with an abstract soul was even more rare...

The Realm Father with an abstract soul had a higher likelihood of succeeding in their attempts at complex comprehension.

Still, Elshen had yet to reveal any other principles.

.....

’Outside of Uncle Fatty, I wonder which one of the Dimension Lords would fall if they were to confront this level of power?’ Elshen wondered.

Shaking his head, he deduced, ’No, they may very well be at the peak of the Entry-Level, all of them. And with their abstract souls, and Top-Tier cosmic treasures, Supreme Armaments or Battle Arts, they might very well be troublesome when uniting against me.’

Obviously...

’This is, of course, the current me. I still have a Supreme Top-Tier cosmic treasure to acquire.’ He grinned. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Truthfully, Elshen was waiting.

Indeed, the Master of Ancient Black Star was right, and also wrong.

He wasn’t waiting on the rogue cultivators to strike, but he was waiting on himself...

Some time ago, he had given up the thought of deepening his comprehension of principles that were enlightened to or above 20%.

He had begun focusing on the principle of Death, which was 19%.

Even though he had the Banner of Void Spirits, during his time in the ancient city, he was quite relaxed.

He hadn’t really thought of battling the Ancient Lord either, because he didn’t believe his wife would ever risk his life.

But now he was in doubt.

He was in doubt amid battle, and so he bore the brunt of "Aum!" and watched the innumerable amount of deaths that were occurring within his inner realm.

Therein, a particular Banner of Void Spirits was being constantly nurtured by the endless death and mayhem of innumerable lifeforms.

Whilst the "Aum!" shook his Will, causing his cultivation to tremble, and his inner realm to quake, the one to benefit the most wasn’t the four schools, but the Banner of Void Spirits itself.

And as it was nurtured through endless death, Elshen desperately peered into the mysteries contained within the Banner of Void Spirits.

His God’s Eye opened within his mind, and even his dream form in the Domain of Dreams comprehended the secrets of the Death principle through the resonance of the favored...

From well before, he was already on the cusp of enlightening 20% of the principle of Death, and then he focused on it for another two decades and some...

Though it was a period in which he was quite lax, one must understand that the Banner of Void Spirit was akin to a guide that lit up a path in the darkness.

Heaven Drowning Blood Calamity roared with indignation.

No matter how much his annihilation spear was augmented and the power bolstered, the cracks on the body of the Region Dominating Blade only increased, and increased, but refused to shatter.

The Region Dominating Blade oozed blood fire from its cracks.

The shattering blade cried fiery tears, and yet showed no sign of obliterating...

The Black & White Dimension, augmented by the celestial mountain shrouded in grey fog, grew weaker and weaker as the three hundred thousand disciples of the Black & White School of Thought continuously sacrificed their lives.

They were fearless in the face of death because they did not need to fear death, and even more so, because they were rewarded for dying...

However, their deaths were only in vain.

And as the ascetic practitioners of the Enlightened Yellow Dust voiced the sound of the Heaven & Earth, and the sea of blood fire clashed against the blood sea, caught in the center, at the eye of the storm, and under the gazes of countless Realm Fathers from other forces...

Elshen retrieved a Banner of Void Spirits, and the principle of Death resonated with the principle of Fire, creating an imagery of a fierce, flaming skull that opened its maws and devoured the worlds...

"Indeed, I Am..." Elshen’s voice stirred the hearts of the Dimension Lords beyond this realm, for they finally realized...

The principle of death thumped vigorously, spreading throughout the entire Realm Heaven!

With the power Elshen revealed upon the appearance of this second principle, they finally realized...
