Chapter 374 Advance To Peak
One Hundred And Fifty Years Later...
In the Imperial Castle:
Maximus carefully sensed the flowing essence of law in the world.
"Transcendence Mastery... How fascinating," Maximus mused.
For the first time, Maximus marveled at the beautiful structure of the Etherium Realm.
Different laws from different dimensions form complete laws yet it didn't collapse.
If not for the interference of the abyss, sooner or later the Etherium Realm could advance to a tier 10 dimension purely with its structure.
"However, this world is too fragile..." Maximus frowned.
Although he had not yet advanced to tier 9, his control of law was no lower than that of those ancient Apex Sovereigns, or perhaps even better.
As he felt the situation of the Etherium Realm, he could only shake his head.
Although merging four domains created the present Etherium Realm, it also left the world too bloated and fragile.
The laws were just merged together like playdough.
It's too messy; just looking at it made Maximus feel as if he were in a shoddy house that would collapse with a single touch.
He was simply amazed it could last for a long time and even fought back the abyss, like a disabled fighting a professional boxer.
This goes to show, how much untapped potential Etherium Realm had left.
"No matter, I'll fix it later."
With his mastery of law and Valoros' experiments as a reference, sorting out the Etherium Realm should be easy.
However, first, he needed to advance to tier 9.
Although he could already control the Essence of Law with his mastery, it was too inefficient to do anything.
Now that he mastered all 1,118 Essence of Law, creating the ninth chapter of 'Origin' should be a quick.
Over the 150 years, with the population explosion and the popularity of Star Lords, the Amalgamation of Will he received skyrocketed to an insane degree.
From 13 sextillion, he now had over 70 sextillion unit of Amalgamation of Will every day.
Creating the ninth chapter of 'Origin' at the rate of 100 billion epochs every day, it would only take him a few months to finish.
"Let's start..."
...
A few months later.
Maximus looked in amazement at the ninth chapter of 'Origin' while simultaneously gaining a deeper understanding of being at the apex.
The self-regulation and internalization of law.
Advancing to tier 9 meant converting to a being of law.
One would no longer be in the category of race, flesh, blood, or even soul.
The entire being, personality, and spirit would merge to become a matter of law.
This essentially replacing the Dimensional Laws with one's own being.
"No wonder there can only be a limited number of Apex Sovereigns."
In each continent, there could only be 1,118 Apex Sovereigns controlling each law.
Furthermore, because of the dimensional suppression, one could only become a master of one law.
No matter how talented one was, they could only be limited to one law.
Although it is said that specialization is better than master of all trades.
Maximus couldn't do with just one law.
His path is the Origin; it should encompass all laws and phenomena.
Fortunately, he had a way to bypass the limit of dimension.
The World Tree, a tier 11 ultimate treasure with unlimited growth prospects.
It is capable of internalizing any law, Maximus shouldn't have any problem directly internalizing it as his own.
Inside the World Tree, an explosion of will and energy began to spread.
Resources and life that it passed through began to evolve and mutate, taking a leap of origin.
In the center of the explosion, Maximus silently breathed, making waves of energy each time.
Opening his eyes, a light shone through like a god descended from earth.
"Tier 9..." Maximus softly muttered.
Moving his hand, the law around began to stir.
"How fascinating!"
If previously Maximus felt like terraforming a land while he controlled the Essence of Law,
Now, just with his thoughts, the Essence of Law moved like his arms and legs.
Exiting the inside of the World Tree, he saw his family waiting for him.
Seeing him, excitement appeared on their faces.
"Maximus!"
"Husband!"
"Dad!"
"Father!"
They greeted, as if asking if he successfully advanced.
"I succeeded!" Maximus said with a smile.
"Huh! That's great!"
"We're safe!"
"Hmph! It's our turn to beat the abyss!"
Hearing something different, a frown appeared on his face.
"Abyss? Weren't they beaten already?"
"What happened?"
"It's the abyss; they invaded the Etherium Realm," Lux said with distress.
Three years ago, after his father's seclusion, the abyss suddenly exploded with unprecedented power.
The abyss monsters that couldn't keep up with their output suddenly multiplied in number and quality.
Their proud defensive territories in the Middle and Boundary layers of the abyss collapsed in just a few months.
If not for the emergency evacuation of the Etherium World's will, they would have died there and then.
Seeing that they escaped, the abyss followed them and directly invading he Etherium Realm.
The only saving grace was, as their home court, the World's Will was at full power.
Preventing the entry of any tier 9 abyss entity, the remaining abyss monsters could be wiped out with a wave of their hands.
However, as it continued, the Etherium Realm also began to weaken, like it was being sucked by the abyss.
Seeing their father exit cultivation, they seemed to see hope.
"Is that so..." Maximus frowned.
He thought that it would still be a few decades before the abyss gathered energy; he didn't expect it to be so fast.
"What about Malgron? Where is he?"
"Uncle Malgron was still injured; he was recuperating in the castle," Liam said.
"Even Malgron couldn't take it? Just how fierce is the abyss?"
"If you saw it, father, you would know the craziness of the abyss."
"Countless tier 9 abyss monsters and hundreds of abyss monarchs; Uncle Malgron fought them like a God of War without fear."
"Unfortunately, there are too many enemies; Uncle Malgron can only hold them off for a few months," Max sighed.
Until now, his eyes were still filled with admiration remembering the battle.
He excitedly wondered how his father would fare in the face of such enemies.
