I called upon the chaos energy deep inside , pulling it from the very core of my being. The laws of chaos had been notoriously difficult to control, but sothing about this mont felt different. The system seed to be amplifying my power, guiding through the motions as if I were one with the energy itself.
I summoned my scythe, feeling its presence at my side, its dark edge a perfect extension of my will. The chaos energy flowed through , and with a swift motion, I slashed through the chariot in the sky. A massive burst of force followed, the chariot splitting in two, the lightning dissipating.
I stood there, my heart racing from the exertion, a victorious grin forming on my face. "Too easy," I muttered under my breath.
But as the smoke cleared, I saw sothing I hadn't expected—the chariot was regenerating. Its form reassembled with terrifying speed, burning brighter, hotter, more intense than before. It was infused with even more raw energy, and the anger radiating from it felt almost sentient.
"Well, I'm fucked…" I muttered under my breath, realizing too late that the battle had only just begun.
The chariot was nearly upon the city as it plumted from the heavens, but I shot into the sky to et it. I can't let it reach the city. The damage it could cause would be catastrophic. I'll take this trial in the sky—no matter how hard it is, I will not let anything stop . Not even the heavens!
I collided with it head-on, the lightning spear crashing into my scythe. The two energies collided with a deafening roar. I wrapped my scythe in the searing red lightning, and I could feel the force of it. The figure controlling the chariot trembled, forced to divert its path and retreat into the thunderclouds, likely to recharge its energy.
"Don't you even dare!" I shouted, my resolve hardening.
Soul Shackle!
The black chains shot toward the lightning figure, but they couldn't bind it.
"Genius," the eerie voice taunted, ruining my mont of triumph. "Of course, you can't shackle it. This is heavenly energy. You can't bind anything with that skill unless it has a soul. Do you have a brain or not?"
Seriously? Couldn't you have told that earlier, you useless thing?
"I can't help you, Gaon. If I interfere, the mont it senses my energy, you'll witness sothing you've never seen before—and you'll die instantly. All I can do is speak to you in secret," the eerie voice said, the usual bitterness replaced by a tinge of fear. "Listen, if you want to beat this thing, you have to use that red lightning. It's the key to making the heavenly lightning submit. It's even stronger than the heavenly energy, and if I'm not mistaken, it might even fear your lightning."
Overthrow the heavens? I couldn't help but scoff. Yeah, right. That'll never happen. But one thing was certain: I would survive this, and I would grow stronger than ever before. Nobody in this world would be able to match .
"You say that now, but just you wait, Gaon. One day, you will reach a level where you can traverse the cosmos itself without fear. The heavens will be nothing to you then," the eerie voice spoke, its tone carrying a strange certainty that made uneasy. It was almost as if it knew sothing I didn't. Or was it that it trusted that much?
But I couldn't dwell on that now. The chariot was recharging and barreling toward again, its energy surging with even more power this ti.
The lightning from its spear shot out, chasing like a relentless beast. I could feel the air crackling as I sped away, my wings flapping furiously, each beat sending hurtling faster. The crimson lightning enveloped , wrapping around my wings, but the lightning chasing refused to let up. For the first ti, I had to create an ability on the go, using lightning in ways I had only ever utilized for small enhancents. Lightning had never been my main power, but now I had no choice.
Let's see how you like this! I thought, pushing the limits of my power. I manipulated the laws of lightning in the air, feeling the runes float inside the storm, invisible to the naked eye, but there. I could sense them. The runes danced together, coiling and twisting, and I connected them in my mind.
Suddenly, I stopped mid-flight and shot a wave of crimson lightning directly at the one chasing . The mont our powers collided, the world around turned dark. Two forces, so powerful, crashing into each other. And to my surprise, I ca out on top. The crimson lightning began devouring the heavenly lightning, much like it had with Nam Ji-ho.
The laws of lightning rushed into , and I instinctively began absorbing them as my own. This heavenly punishnt... it was actually beneficial. Not only would I grow stronger in my cultivation base, but I was also gaining an imnse amount of law knowledge. My mind began to unravel the mysteries within the storm.
And then... sothing strange happened. Along with the lightning laws, I felt another, more ancient power surge through . They were holy laws, and they emanated with total authority...
Don't tell ... I thought, my heart pounding. Is that... heavenly laws? Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire
I could barely contain my excitent, but I pushed it down, knowing I couldn't afford to draw more attention to myself.
"You truly are amazing, Gaon. This will make you unrivaled!" The eerie voice spoke, its tone now infused with awe. At that mont, I felt my soul energy surge, growing at a pace I had never experienced before. It was as if I were devouring the heavens themselves. The power coursing through was unlike anything I had ever felt. This wasn't just strength; it was divine. I could feel the very fabric of the universe bending to my will.
