Weapons clashed without stop.
The Battle God hadn’t moved even one step from the place where he was at the start while Yale was attacking when moving as fast as he could.
Both had long ago lost the count of how many tis their weapons clashed, but the count had surpassed the million tis long ago.
Yale had long ago stopped battling focusing on swords and was constantly changing his battle style and his weapons, and the Battle God did the sa.
In fact, it would be difficult having a battle like that in the real world as a normal sword can’t beco a giant axe in an instant.
While battling, both of them changed the shape of their weapons created new ones nonstop.
Yale seed to have fun with that battle although he knew that it was quite boring to the Battle God who was treating that battle as playing with his grandson.
Although Yale had never used too much the weapons that weren’t a sword or a bow, he got used to all the weapons after battling with his grandfather for such a long ti.
Although Yale’s level in the real world couldn’t be affected by his training in the Tiless Border and it was impossible to train any Laws or Essences there, Yale believed that his battle prowess was at least hundred tis stronger due to the experience he gathered battling with the Battle God.
Yale wasn’t sure if he would be able to rember that battle after leaving the Tiless border, but he was sure that at least the experience obtained by battling so much wouldn’t disappear.
It was sad for Yale that there wasn’t a proper way to emulate the elents and the effect of the Ti Law, Space Law, Life Law, and Death Law because Yale was sure that he would have improved even more, but the skills generated by the will of Yale differed too much from the real ones and were useless.
"I did it! I finally forced you to move one step!"
After Yale’s last attack, the Battle God was forced to move a foot back, which Yale considered quite impressive since the Battle God didn’t even move his legs before that mont.
"This is indeed very good for a kid. Well done."
Yale felt that his grandfather finally recognized him even if it was only in kid’s standards, but it was far better than the Battle God’s previous disappointnt.
"The next ti you will need to move even more!"
Yale felt that he should be able to make his grandfather move both legs, but at that mont the other party shook his head.
"There won’t be the next ti to battle between us in the Tiless Border. If you want to battle again look for in the real world."
Yale didn’t understand why his battle-loving grandfather decided to stop the battle at that mont.
"Yale, even if you continue, you won’t be able to improve anymore. You aren’t conscious of how much you improved. To improve more, you need a real environnt and the Tiless Border isn’t enough for it."
Seeing that Yale still didn’t believe it, the Battle God decided to disclose so information that he considered common sense and that he believed that Yale still didn’t know.
"Yale, have you heard about the tribulations? Once soone steps into the Immortal levels there is a tribulation to face related with the Law, or Essence one was trying to advance. However, those like you with soul empowernt wouldn’t face anything until the tribulation for becoming an Essence God, and those with at least a Fake Origin Path would only face it when becoming Law Gods skipping the tribulation related to Law Masters, so I bet that you have never experienced one nor heard about it."
Yale nodded his head because he had indeed never heard about it.
"What do you think is the tribulation, for example, to beco an Essence God in the Sword Essence?"
Yale though a bit before replying.
"Facing a lot of swords or battling against soone powerful."
For the elents, it was easier to imagine that would be sothing related to them, but it was quite difficult imagining it for the weapons and martial arts.
"The answer is battling against a shadow of myself. Each level of the tribulation has a different shadow restrained in power to that of the tribulation, and to succeed you need to make the shadow acknowledge you."
Yale felt that it made sense that the shadow was that from the one who created the essences.
"The battle happens in a ntal space where the battle restrictions are quite similar to those in the Tiless Border. With your current level, you are already capable of clearing all the tribulations for the Essences I left behind. Martial arts, sword, spear, rod, hamr, axe, whip, and archery. Those eight Essences are the ones I left behind, and you are already capable of succeeding easily in the Essence Tribulation for all of them. Do you understand why you can’t improve more here?"
Although there were more types of weapons, the Laws and Essences ended englobing them in those eight areas. A dagger and a saber would still be considered part of the Sword Essence, but a dagger for throwing would enter in the Archery Essence.
"It is difficult to believe, but if you say that I am so capable, then I believe it."
Despite being difficult to believe, Yale felt that if those words were true, then it would be easy for him the day he wanted to beco an Essence God with the Sword Essence.
"Don’t think about using this experience to your tribulation."
Yale was shocked by hearing that statent.
"Don’t misunderstand . Although I don’t know what will happen to your mories of our battle, your experience would remain as long as your consciousness returns to the real world. However, there won’t be any tribulation for you in those eight Essences because I have already acknowledged you and as a shadow, I am far stronger than those of the tribulations."
Yale couldn’t understand how that could count as passing the tribulation when he didn’t even learn the full Essences and fused with them.
"Although this space isn’t within the universe, it isn’t outside either, that is why it is called Tiless Border. Acknowledging you here is valid since the conditions are even harder than in a real tribulation. Although I must admit that I can acknowledge whoever I want, and that person wouldn’t face any tribulation related to those eight Essences, but the tribulations were set to test if the person was really able to control the power of the Laws and Essences properly to avoid them going berserk."
Trying to control Laws or Essences without being strong enough in body, soul and mind would lead to losing the control, and even those who succeed sotis had their mindsets affected and suffered changes of personality like that red-eyed man who turned into psychopath due to being unable to endure the Darkness Law and the Darkness Essence correctly.
There was a flaw in so tribulations making that one could avoid failing by allowing the Law or Essence to corrupt their minds.
With so elents like the Fire, one would just beco more hot-headed, but when it ca to Death and Darkness, the results of using that shortcut were far too severe.
A full Essence couldn’t be properly controlled by soone who isn’t ready, and Yale experienced it himself when he turned berserk after using them. Given his soul empowernt, there wasn’t any problem to use Laws, but he couldn’t allow going carelessly with Essences. Of course, the eight ntioned by the Battle God were so Yale wouldn’t need to worry.
"This feels like cheating for having connections, but I suppose this is also so kind of power."
Skipping two tribulations thanks to the soul empowernt and having a free pass to eight Essence Tribulations was sothing anyone would go mad to obtain, but it wasn’t that easy.
"The advantage of doing a tribulation before needing it is that failing doesn’t an guaranteed death. For example, the Life and Death Trials are a simulation of the tribulation to beco an Essence God in Life and Death, and those who surpassed it could avoid facing that combined tribulation, but the real tribulation couldn’t be stopped, while the Life and Death Trials could be stopped to save the one experiencing it."
If Yale had recovered the mories about the Life and Death Trials before the war, he wouldn’t have lost the control of those Essences, but since he didn’t rember anything about it, it wasn’t until he recovered those mories and accepted it that his status as soone who cleared them was reestablished.
It wasn’t that weird that powerful experts tried to create and use pseudo-tribulations to ensure that their descendants would succeed. After all, the soul empowernt couldn’t be inherited endlessly, and usually, only the eldest child managed to obtain it, so letting that child dying in a tribulation would be very bad for them.
However, except for the Life and Death Trials, there weren’t any other standardized thods to skip the tribulation. There were so to prepare for it, but that wouldn’t prevent the tribulation from happening.
Of course, battling with the Battle God to make him acknowledge you was also a thod for those eight essences, but Yale was the third in the story to manage to do that as normal people couldn’t even et with him.
