Lord Shadow

Chapter 1297 Sword Strike

And that is not enough.

There is still the Ancient Rune Law. Does it simply mean Runic language like that of Asgard? No, it is not

Runes are like alphabets. They are symbols. They are writings. And each writing is meant to convey meaning, to convey feelings, emotions and thoughts

When Azief first learn this Law, he thought of it too simply. Runes, he thought. Using the runes to tattoo his body and gained the corresponding buff effect.

Write the runes of strength and tattoo it. Write the runes of healing and tattoo it. He thought of it too simply.

Runes in the end is still method of conveying meanings and information

Azief did not just idle away when he was in the Seresian world. He practices. But how did he practice? He of course could not practice like normal people.

There is no sandbag in the world that could withstand his full powered punch

But if that is the case, how did he train? When one reaches his level, the way of training is different.

He would simply sit or lay down or sleeps and in this actions, he would then sink deep into his inner consciousness.

He went into his Inner Universe and tries to understand the application of the Laws that he had comprehended.

And there he understood runes. Runes is word. So, it could even be said that he is trying to understand the Word Law.

That even ”words” have power.

And so when that Ancient Rune Law is imbued in his sword slash, the meaning of millions of concepts seems to rush in from the time scene to attached itself to the sword.

Then there is the Celestial energy.

When he sunk deep into his consciousness and trained the Celestial law, he found that there is a character that is glowing and had deep Karma with his Laws

What he found is none other than the character for immortality. Before it was immortality

Now, however that character had changed

Immortal.

The character had changed from Immortality to Immortal

This time he understood the meaning of the character like he was the one that wrote it.

When he was burned by the Purifying Fire when he was breaking through in the past, there was an energy that enter his body.

It protected him and strengthen him. It was a tattoo. It is a character for Immortality in Jade Empire scripts.

Azief knows that it was the goodwill of the Jade Emperor.

Azief at that time would then absorbed that tattoo and the Celestial Disk was formed. It enables him to absorb Celestial energy

Immortal energy would only flow in the Immortal realm and only Immortals could absorb celestial energy.

The grace of the Jade Emperor had entangled Karma between them. Azief might not understand this in the past, but he very much understood it now.

And after knowing who he would become in the future, coupled with his own deduction he could tell that some powerhouse in the Universe, knows his fate and some would help him and some would hinder him.

From the moment he understood certain thing is related to his future, many things began making sense.

But, he did not reject this Karma. And it is too late to reject it. From that Immortality character he managed to comprehend the Celestial Law

And it is from that energy he comprehended the Celestial law.

Of course, he did not expect that when he was trying to gain deeper understanding of Celestial Law, the character for Immortal now appears.

It appears in his Inner Universe. It stands there high in the clouds, above a mountain. This mountain floats in the sky, covered with clouds, shrouded with purple air.

He spends days probably years in his Inner Universe just looking at that character.

In his Inner Universe, time is under his control. Of course, even though time inside the Inner Universe is under his control, it did not mean that he could level up infinitely inside it.

It is not like some kind of hyperbaric chamber of time.

Because the inner universe is inside his consciousness, he could not absorb energy to strengthen himself.

Because the energy belongs to himself

It would be akin of recycling energy over and over again. While it would not decrease, it would also not increase.

Then what is the use?

The use is simply so that he could understand things.

Things that would take people thousands of years to understand could be understood only in a few second.

That is why all the people who had reached Azief level appears to other people like genius. Because they seem to be able to comprehend everything in a short period of time.

Of course, it would look like that to other people.

But only those who had created their own Inner Universe knows the reason is simply because they enter their Inner Universe, control time inside the Inner Universe and comprehended the problem

And that is what Azief had done

He watches that immortal character boldly floating above the floating mountain inside his Inner Universe.

When he flies to the sky and tries to grab this mountain, the mountains turn to mirage and dissipated like it was never there

Then he would find that the mountain is beyond the world inside his Inner Universe. So, he would then fly out from the planet that he is in.

And when he is out, he could saw the mountain in the vats space. Once again he chases it. And once again he fails.

The path to Immortal seems illusory.

He would chase and he would fail repeatedly.

He would then return back to the planet in his Inner Universe, sat down on the ground and take a breath calming himself and when he looks back at the sky, like it never left, there is that floating mountain and the character for Immortal floating above that mountain like some kind of divine word.

So, he could only watch and in that process of watching, he understood the character a bit.

There is mountain and person.

Immortal does not simply means not dying.

At least it is not that in the context of the Universe. Those who were called Immortals in the Universe, is powerful beings

The character of Immortal in the jade empire script is composed of the character ʼpersonʼ and the character ʼmountainʼ

But then he thought of this too simply so he reorganized his thoughts once again.

Then a new understanding of Immortal appears in his mind.

He repeated this and new understanding comes and old understanding dissipates.

What is Immortal? It is those who uses the celestial energy. But if that is the case why is there different kinds of Immortal?

Understanding of the Universe is the answer. Like two people who uses the Time Laws but manifested differently between people.

Even though Azief did not become Immortal, he understood certain things and Celestial energy under his control become even more refined and powerful could change shapes and alter properties.

Governs the cosmic properties and this understanding is also imbued in the sword light

Countless of cosmic forces gathers in the form of voluminous energy and swirls around the sword light

And how did this different kinds of energy all manage to harmoniously integrate with each other without rejecting and fighting against each other

That is because of the All Source Law. If the other Law is used as energy, Azief on the other hand uses All Source Law and imbue it as the base of the sword.

It is like a glue, a very strong glue that keeps it all together, without breaking. Then he also uses ancient demonic Law, adding a destructive and killing power to the sword energy.

Aether Law and Nether Law, this opposite energy is also used.

One seems to possess the power of creation while the other possess power of destruction.

One might not understand why an energy that could power the energy of creation is used alongside the power of laws that could supply destruction energy is used together

It is simply because when opposite collides, the explosion of these two opposite forces colliding is even bigger.

It is like matter and anti-matter colliding with each other. He also extracted primordial energy, Soul energy, Divine energy, Cosmic energy and Omniversal energy

With all of this energy combined into one sword slash, is it so hard to believe that it could cut even galaxies?

Add with the time scene infinite energy extraction, right now, that sword light had become almost like a solid sword that is about to cut down everything.

But while the energy seems infinite, the weight of the sword is not.

As more and more energies are absorbed, the heavier the sword became and the more it affected space and time around him.

Just by floating there, that sword light bends all space, twisting it like some kind of dough.

All of this happens in a short time from the moment Katarina slashes her sword down followed by Azief sword strike.

Azief look at that sword strike keep moving forward, his body is already drained. If one looks at his body, it becomes translucent.
