Lord Shadow

Chapter 1357 No Turning Back

  other than a few places that is able to shelter itself away from these vision, everyone in the world see the same scenery and see the same sky

While this was a shock to many people in the world, right now on the sky of Arturia, a third type of thunderbolt rain down upon the sword, shaking the entire sky

It created a space ripple that could be seen with the naked eye

The few people that could still look up and see the process could not help but be shocked when they saw the color of that thunderbolt. It is purple and it is full of Heavenly Energy.

Azief smiles looking at this. 

Right now, there is no longer any clouds in the radius of ten thousand kilometers of the skyscape of the city.

There, up in the sky is a golden sword. The hilt is golden is colors and on the body of the sword is three lines that stretched from the hilt to the top of the sword. 

There is a golden, red and purple lines on the sword. 

The sword is three feet long with lightning swirling around its edges. 

He then said, his voice echoing all over the city that even if you close your ears you could still hear it.

’Today, I forged the Sword of Humanity from three types of Thunders of Tribulation. With the blessing of the Heavenly will, I create this sword. It will accumulate the Luck of Humanity and can grow and evolve’

He paused for a second and then he declares

’Whosoever holds this sword, will command the power of Heaven and Earth, to exercise justice and eliminate injustice, to slay evil and cut off all obstacles of humanity. Thus, it would be given to the worthy and once the covenant between the Will of the People and the wielder is in dissonant, the Sword would leave to find a worthy master’

One single lone thunderbolt descended down from the Heaven, purple in color and strike the sword like it had received the order.

  A purple trail line appears on the sword before it seems to meld with the sword

’By my Will, this sword will be bestowed on Arthur Foster. When he proved himself unworthy of this sword, the sword would leave and a new master of this sword would be chosen!’

The voice echoes endlessly and the speech ended. Azief knows he did not need to do it but Words have powers, especially Words that have meanings.

The moment Azief finished his speech, a gigantic golden light poured down from the Heavens to him. 

Azief look and smile.

It is the Heavenly Power entering his body. But this kind of Heavenly Power is useless to him. Because he already had control of the Heavenly Will.

The Heavenly Will Avatar on the other hand grows stronger and the gulf of energy that separated the Heavenly Will Avatar from entering the world is dissipating 

Azief look down on the Heavenly power. It is a reward because of strengthening the Heavenly Will. But, whoever took this Heavenly Power in the end could not fight against the Heavenly Will

It is not bad thing actually since on Earth, having the approval of the Heavenly Will boosted many things like luck and protected by the Heavenly Will

Azief had understand a lot more about Heavenly Will when he was researching on the topic in the Seresian world 

So, he understands what taking the path of the Heavenly Will means. And if he did not follow the path of Perfection, following the path of the Heavens is not a bad thing

But the Path of Heaven could not save him from the future he has seen. So, he had never been interested in walking that path

So, he pointed his finger toward Arthur who was suspended in the sky. 

The Heavenly Force move toward Arthur. Arthur was in Disk Formation level. He is far away from reaching the bottleneck.

But as the Heavenly Force rain down on him, from the middle realm of Disk Formation he was instantly level up to the peak and from the peak to the pinnacle of Disk Formation

Only one step is needed to enter the Divine Comprehension realm. 

Everyone on the ground looking at this, feeling the fluctuation of power and seeing the power emanating from Arthur, the force of which compresses the space around him and force the wind to change course…. they could not believe their eyes.

Arthur Foster, a normal Disk Formation leveler is now only one step away from Divine Comprehension.

That is what they see. 

What Azief see however is chains from the Heaven chaining Arthur. 

Arthur could not grow further to Divine Comprehension right now because the Heavenly Will itself could not handle a Divine Comprehension leveler. 

If it could, the Heavenly Will would have already expelled Azief influence from the Heavenly Will. When the Heavenly Will is strong, Arthur would be strong. 

It is like a lock of Heaven and Earth is embedded into Arthur body. But, with this power bestowed by the Heavens, Azief had made sure that Arthur could hold this island from other influence.

And he could wield a bit of the Heavenly Power. 

Even a bit is a lot considering that the Heavenly Will of the world is becoming stronger since the Multiversal Convergence. 

Azief knows that this would be a waste since the merit is huge. 

So, he gave an advice, a Divine Sense communication was sent to Arthur. And Arthur who had heard it immediately try to do it. 

Right now Arthur could move but he did not run away.

He had understood that Death Monarch is about to give him a great fortune.

  When he broke through the middle realm and reach the pinnacle, he felt that it was a waste because the Heavenly Force is still raining down on him until Death Moan gives him a suggestion. 

Floating there, he broke his Disk, crushed his Seeds, demoted himself to Energy Disperse Stage and falling down and down in power, suspended in the air only because of the invisible force of the Heavenly power.

Right now, Arthur is like a crippled man with no future. Even though the backlash of crushing his own cultivation is quite severe, his eyes is bright and there is even a hint of excitement and some hint of anticipation 

’Remold back the foundation!’ that is what Azief had told Arthur

The energy would keep on pouring but he would not break through to Divine Comprehension because the Heavenly Will itself did not yet reach a level of power equivalent to the Divine Comprehension realm

It is like for this brief moment; Arthur have an infinite energy generating machine helping him to break through all obstacles 

A cheat. 

Floating in the air, Arthur took in all of that Heavenly power. From Pillar Forming, he rose up unbelievably fast until he reaches back his original level, Disk Formation middle realm.

But there is something that has changed about him. 

The reason he crushed all of his cultivation is because he was suggested by Death Monarch to reforge back his foundation. 

Arthur take a big risk in doing that. 

Arthur had cut many corners to reach Disk Formation. And there are many injuries in his body that is not solved.

Even though he did not reach the Disk Formation pinnacle realm like before, but right now he is even stronger than a normal peak Disk Formation leveler.

The suggestion worked

his foundation is now strong and stable, all of his hidden injuries and the imperfections in his leveling up in the past is erased.

Like a new phoenix that rises from the ashes. 

Arthur right now is brimming with power. His momentum shakes the Heaven and Earth and there is a resonance between him and the Heavenly Will

Each time he moves his hand there is a great power that moves with it, cracking the space around them, pressuring the entire surrounding causing the air to bend 

At the same time the entire city felt the pressure, the vibration around their body forcing them to tremble. 

Some had the urge to kneel. Spiritual melody and rhythm seems to be played all over the Heaven and Earth

An aromatic and calming scent spread all over the world

This melody comes from the vibration of the energy of the world. 

This spiritual music and scents from Heaven and Earth wreathed in the air, auspicious signs emerged in an endless stream. 

There is a sword shadow in the sky that seems to filled the entire skyscape, like there is nothing in this world that could escape it

The sword that is floating in the air is bathed in this blessed air and it gathers the luck and fortune of humanity

Slowly, the shadow of the sword enters the three feet sword and there is no longer the sight of a titanic apparition of a sword in the sky.

Just by seeing it some people felt their knees goes weak. 

The sword then slowly floated down to Arthur.

Arthur look at the sword in front of him, floating just a few feet away from him. the sword itself is vibrating 

Arthur in that moment felt like time had stopped. He hesitated for a moment to take the sword. He could hear what Death Monarch said before

Once he took it, he is tied to the fate of humanity.  It gives him great power but it also would chain him. 

But then, he thought back to what just had happened. He had already taken the power of the Heavenly Will and remold his body with the energy of the Heavenly Will

From that moment, there was no turning back. 

So, he stretched his hand and he took it and the moment he did, he could feel the connection between him and the Heavenly Will deepened.
