Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 2894: Spirit Weapons

Eight minutes remained.

Emery exhaled slowly, forcing his thoughts into order as the pressure of time bore down on him.

The earlier attempts had not been wasted; through those brief failures, he had already begun to understand the nature of the artifact before him. The twin discs were not merely weapons—they were a paired construct built upon opposition, a system that demanded balance rather than brute domination.

A weapon of duality.

Without hesitation, Emery raised both hands. Darkness gathered along his left arm as Khaos energy coiled like a living abyss. In his right, a radiant glow blossomed—pure, vibrant, and steady as the power of Elysian surged outward like the breath of life itself.

He guided the energies carefully.

The silver disc—cool and serene—resonated with the influence of Khaos, while the golden disc trembled under the Elysian warmth. At first, the pairing seemed counterintuitive, yet the moment both energies settled into their respective vessels, the entire structure responded as though a long-forgotten key had finally been turned.

The reaction was immediate.

The two discs rose into the air, spinning with newfound stability as their opposing forces aligned into a delicate equilibrium.

A surge of power erupted.

[Attack Force: 1800]

[Artifact Efficiency: 14%]

Emery’s eyes sharpened.

The increase was dramatic—far beyond his initial attempts—yet he did not allow himself to pause. Control had been achieved, but mastery was still distant. The discs were responding, but not completely. There was still resistance, a hidden layer that had yet to be unlocked.

He knew what to do next.

”Dao of Heaven and Earth...”

The words left his lips in a low murmur as his domain unfolded.

A subtle ripple spread outward, not as a crushing force, but as a harmonizing field. Within it, opposing elements no longer clashed—they coexisted. Darkness and light, destruction and vitality, all flowed within a unified rhythm.

Under that influence, the two discs began to change.

Their rotations synchronized.

Not identical, but complementary.

One accelerated as the other decelerated, their movements forming a perfect cycle—like celestial bodies locked in orbit.

The power surged again.

[Attack Force: 4200]

[Artifact Efficiency: 20%]

The increase was undeniable, yet Emery frowned slightly.

The output had more than doubled, but the efficiency lagged behind. The artifact was responding to force, but not yielding its full potential. That imbalance could only mean one thing.

He was still missing something fundamental.

[Five minutes remained]

Emery closed his eyes for a brief moment, allowing his divine sense to expand fully into the twin artifacts. His consciousness slipped past the surface, diving deep into their internal structure where countless layers of ancient runic formations lay hidden.

What he found was... intricate.

Not a single system, but a network—interlocking, evolving, alive in a way that felt almost sentient.

[Three minutes remained]

Emery’s gaze hardened.

Twenty percent was not enough.

Not against Supreme beings. Not against a spirit champion.

There had to be more.

Then,

[VIA: Rune Formation Analysis Complete]

Emery’s pupils contracted.

Information surged into his mind at an overwhelming pace, ancient records and fragmented research reconstructed into clarity. The Celestials had once studied these weapons—thousands of years ago—under a different name.

The data revealed something crucial—a deeper structure hidden beneath the merged form, a second transformation that required not only control, but synchronization at a far more refined level.

A lock... opened.

A new pattern emerged within his consciousness.

Then, as the two discs continued to rotate under his Dao, something shifted.

The discs trembled violently.

With a sharp metallic resonance, the two artifacts shot toward each other and merged midair, forming a massive circular blade—a chakram infused with both Khaos and Elysian energies. Its edges extended into curved, razor-sharp arcs, while its core pulsed with a dangerous, unstable brilliance.

[Second Form Activated — Heaven fall Wheels]

The combined artifact expanded into a dual-layered construct, two interlocking rings rotating in opposite directions. One burned with radiant light, while the other churned with darkness. Their rotations collided and coexisted simultaneously, generating a terrifying pressure that warped everything around them.

The rotation intensified.

Faster. Heavier. More violent.

The air itself began to distort under its movement, as if space were being carved apart by its spinning edge.

The weapon was no longer something that could be controlled mentally.

It demanded strength.

Emery stepped forward and caught it with both hands.

The force nearly tore his arms apart.

Without hesitation, he activated his half-primal transformation. His physique surged with raw power while his soul maintained precise control, allowing him to stabilize the violent rotations just enough to wield it.

With a roar, he hurled the weapon forward.

The dual chakram tore through space itself.

A visible fracture split open along its path, the attack so intense that even within the Virtual Palace’s protected environment, the fabric of reality seemed to strain under its passage.

Everything in its path was annihilated.

Not destroyed—erased.

The result appeared.

[Attack Force: 10500]

[Artifact Efficiency: 35%]

[Time’s Up]

Silence followed.

For a brief moment, Emery simply stood there, his chest rising and falling as the result settled into his mind.

Thirty-five percent.

Then—

[Result: First Place]

[Congratulations you win the bid]

Emery could hardly believe it.

For a brief moment, his mind went completely blank, as if the result had not yet fully registered. Then, slowly, the reality of what he had accomplished settled into his chest.

He had won.

The announcement echoed across the auction hall almost immediately. The system declared that an anonymous participant—one among the thirty-two candidates—had achieved the highest compatibility and secured the treasure. The identity of the winner, however, remained completely hidden.

That only made the reaction more intense.

A wave of murmurs swept through the crowd as speculation erupted from every corner. Some believed it had to be one of the Supreme beings present in the VIP chambers, while others insisted it was the work of a renowned spirit champion.

But no confirmation came.

Instead, tension thickened.

At that moment, Emery and the other participants were returned to the main hall.

Thirty-two figures stood scattered across the space, each one a potential suspect.

Emery’s heart pounded.

The urge to turn, to share the moment with Klea, Morgana, and Rosia, surged within him—but he suppressed it instantly.

He knew all too well what this victory meant. Possessing such a treasure was not a blessing alone. It was a beacon. A target.

If his identity were exposed here, it would not only invite trouble.

As expected, several powerful divine senses began sweeping across the hall.

They were subtle, refined, yet impossibly vast—probing every fluctuation of energy, every ripple of emotion, searching for any irregularity among the thirty-two candidates.

Emery remained still.

His soul stilled. His thoughts quieted.

Soon after, Emery received a private summons.

He stepped into a secluded chamber, isolated from the rest of the hall.

Inside, several items floated before him, each radiating a distinct presence:

The Golden Cleanse Marrow.

The True Sight Bow.

The Infernal Sovereign Wings.

And finally... the Sun and Moon Discs.

For a moment, Emery simply stood there, taking it all in.

The administrator’s voice followed shortly after, calm and indifferent, requesting the designated delivery location for the acquired items.

Emery answered without hesitation.

Once it was done, he did not linger.

He quietly logged off.
