Zhuo Fan had been contemplating his next course of action, wondering if he should complete another path Heavenly Sovereign had so his side would gain an upper hand. However the danger of Heavenly Sovereign barging into Luo Clan was very much real, even if the man said there wasnt any point.

In the end, he settled on the shadow path, easing Heavenly Sovereigns threat somewhat while also helping the clan.

When one thought of shadows, theyd think of the outline left behind when something blocked sunlight, often distorted. But humans used the term loosely for many other aspects, like copying someone, following, guarding, or personal demons.

Shadows were not merely the absence of light; they were entities that shifted between the realms of substance and emptiness. The path revealed itself to him in veils of darkness, and with each revelation, Zhuo Fans understanding of the shadow arts deepened.

He would come to find that there was a shadow of himself in everyone he met, everyone he held dear, but also within himself. The less astute would react to these people, thinking they were the cause of their misery or failure, ignoring the true cause that was within their very selves.

As Zhuo Fan delved further into the shadow path, he discovered the intricate dance of manipulation and deception that lurked within its depths. His understanding of the shadow arts became more refined, allowing him to manipulate not only the shadows around him but also the shadows within others.

His dark aura no longer bore the trademark of the void, the path he prided himself in, but closer to sheer destruction.

Zhuo Fan shuddered under its might, eliciting a grin out of Heavenly Sovereign, having shown who was the strongest among them still. You might dictate the pace, somewhat, but your little delay puts the Sacred Domain in jeopardy. Care to guess how much of it is left?

Half? Zhuo Fan smirked.

Quite the optimist I see, but youre off by another quarter. Heavenly Sovereign was grim. The entire world, our world, is now reduced to an Emperor land and the old mortal domain. Your clan too, had to relocate to survive, as did the entire population. The way things are now, it wouldnt take much for the people to revolt and throw everything into chaos, something theyve always been good at. This is why the world is better off without them.

Heavenly Sovereign left a pale Zhuo Fan behind to contemplate on his decision. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Sovereign wanted to fuse the eight path and test the sea of blackness once more. He needed to gain the upper hand as fast as possible and crush any uncertainty.

Just a quarter left? Zhuo Fan muttered to himself in disbelief. His previous forecast was that it would take a couple years or so, but things were far more serious than it seemed. He knew the dissolving of the paths inside the sea of blackness would speed up its invasion, but not to this extent.

This changed things now. His time was running short. At the very least, he had another Luo Clansman gain a path, judging from the prismatic sky, since his path was completed a few days ago, contemplating his next course of action.

Now, however, there was no need to delay or play Heavenly Sovereigns game. He would complete another path and hopefully the Luo Clan would have one more Sovereign. Then hed unite the ten paths to defeat Heavenly Sovereign once and for all, before he even had the change to reach Supreme Stage.
