Chapter 529: Chapter 382: Ascension!

Some things really shouldn’t be overthought, because once you think about them, they actually happen.

Chen Xing felt his body was undergoing a transformation, and the source of this transformation was not hard to guess.

All the other tamed beasts were by his side, except Sìxiàng, who was not; it must be Sìxiàng’s evolution that caused it!

Ascension, ascension.

He had thought that Taotie would be the first to ascend, but unexpectedly, Sìxiàng had taken a step ahead.

What kind of opportunity had it received in the depths of the Dark Realm?

It is said that Beast Tamers live no longer than a thousand years unless they break through ascension, which allows the tamed beast’s lifetime to exceed the limit of a thousand years.

In fact, Chen Xing wasn’t particularly concerned about lifespan.

Because he was still very young and had not yet felt the urgency of a lifespan running out.

But Chen Xing could feel his body undergoing a transformation like never before.

As Sìxiàng ascended, Chen Xing, though in another world, was also experiencing a transformation in his body.

He could feel that the vitality of his body had become “more active.”

The original body, though immensely powerful, was like a cold machine.

But now, this cold machine had come to life.

Taotie suddenly raised its head, eyes wide as it watched its master changing; it seemed to guess something.

It was supposed to be me first!

When the master transcended, that old fool took the lead.

Now as the master ascends, even though my realm has surpassed it, it still managed to outpace me!

No!!!

Taotie’s face was full of sorrow and rage.

Turn sadness into appetite.

No way!

I must eat fiercely!

I failed this time, but my next realm must surpass it!

I must become the first beast under my master to achieve ascension!

Thinking this, Taotie devoured two nearby mines in one bite.

…

Dark Realm, the deepest part of the Mirror World.

Mist swirling, within the huge palace.

Sìxiàng floated mid-air, its body undergoing significant changes.

Red chains gradually formed on the wings behind it, tiny red chains threading through the quills, hooking together in lines.

Click, click.

At this moment, Sìxiàng was like a bottle filled with water; when full, it overflows, and to go further, one must either overflow or break through.

“Ascension has three paths, have you decided which one you will take?”

“The Epic Path,” Sìxiàng said firmly.

“…Although I guessed you would choose this path, I still want to tell you that it’s the hardest. Even if I sacrifice myself, I can’t help you complete it since I only control a divine corpse, not a complete deity.”

“If you cannot complete the deed of killing a god, you will never be able to become a god, and will forever be trapped beneath deities.”

“I understand, but if I can’t even traverse the Epic Path, how could I have the confidence to challenge Him?”

The shadow laughed, not knowing whether to laugh at the ignorance of not knowing the heavens and the earth, or to laugh because it had become so timid after dying once.

“Then take… The Epic Path, and let’s use the aura of the divine corpse to help you go as far as possible.”

As the words fell, boom!!!

The aura around Sìxiàng broke through a bottleneck and continued to rise after breaking through!

Second step, third step, fourth step…

With each step, the atmosphere flickered and transformed nine times.

The giant before him turned to ash and completely dispersed into the void.

Only a black shadow remained in place.

But the shadow too became extremely vague, as if it could vanish at any moment.

After a moment of silence, Sìxiàng said, “I heard that to go further in the Transcendence Realm, one must master several more Laws before ascending.”

“How far can one go?” asked the shadow of the Dark Overlord indifferently, “You’re already at the Ninth Step of Ascension, even if you master more Laws, you won’t be able to reach the Ninth Step when you break through the ascension.”

“Actually, if I gave you all my power, it wouldn’t be impossible for you to step into the Tenth Step of Ascension, but the last step must be taken by yourself. The path you walk on your own will be smooth, otherwise even if you step into the realm of deities, you’ll be the weakest, because after all, this is my power… not your own.” The shadow of the Dark Overlord looked deeply at Sìxiàng, “This is all the help I can give you.”

“I can only help you get this far, the rest of the path you must walk on your own, inheriting the Authority… you will inevitably be targeted by Him, I hope you can make it.”

At this point, the shadow of the Dark Overlord fell silent for a while, then suddenly let out a relieved smile.

What does it matter if you can do it.

What does it matter if you cannot.

After all, it can’t see anymore.

The path ahead must be walked by the younger generation alone, in fact, when it was alive, it wasn’t even His opponent, and dead, it still harbored hopes of revenge.

It isn’t even Him, but merely an unwilling remnant of his soul.

If it weren’t for the unique environment of the Dark Realm, not even this fragment of soul would remain.

The reason it stays here was merely because of a trace of reluctance deep inside…

“If you lose, the Dark Realm will probably never be able to recover.” The shadow sighed deeply, then vanished and popped like a bubble.

Sìxiàng slightly sensed the power inside his body.

Compared to before, it was completely… world’s apart!

One was the sky, the other was earth.

One breath, no, only the blink of an eye, was all it took to utterly annihilate his former self with all his tricks, unable to withstand even a blink.

“Speed—”

Sìxiàng stretched out his claw.

It seemed to move forward steadily, but in reality, it moved so fast that in the process just now, the void before him, in the blink of an eye, had already been attacked countless times.

Countless afterimages converged into a solid form!

When speed is fast enough, the gap between attacks approaches zero.

The attack becomes nearly infinitely enduring.

But compared to speed, Sìxiàng was actually more concerned with the Law and the Authority.

After all, a physical attack still dealt with a fundamental Law, while a Law attack is the Law itself! It simply defies logic.

Authority, on the other hand, ranks even higher than the Law.

A Law can be comprehended by many people at the same time.

But Authority can be wielded by only one being at most.

Either split the Authority into many incomplete ones, significantly reducing the power, or have it exclusively.

And just now, he had received the Authority—[Imprisonment]—from the Dark Realm

After accepting the Authority, the natural feedback from it helped him comprehend quite a bit.

A simple Imprisonment could lock the target within a certain space, and a more complex Imprisonment could lock a certain power within the target’s body!

The priority of Authority is even above the Law.

If using the Law is like having peeked at the answers in a practice book, copying them down,

Then owning Authority is mastering the knowledge thoroughly, not only knowing the ‘what’, but also understanding the ‘why’, able to infer other cases from one instance, and easily handle all similar problems.

But Authority is extremely rare, even most deities cannot combine a complete Authority.

Besides Authority, that divine corpse had also passed onto him two Laws.

The Law of Darkness, the Law of Speed.
