1627  Calamity

Sharur then laughs, its laugh echoes around the sky and he said to Raymond

”And if you could time it right, it could also be your opportunity” the mace paused for a second before saying

”Or it could also be your end. You choose” Raymond chuckles. He looks at the sky again and then he laughs ”An opportunity” he paused for a second and then added ”A calamity. I choose” he said and from the way he said those words, Sharur could tell what choice that Raymond made

Sharur then sigh as the mace floats in the air beside Raymond

Raymond feels the vibration of the energy because of the trident. But the mace probably is more sensitive to him when it is about energy of the world

”What do you think is happening to the world right now?” he asks and Sharur did not shy away from answering

”I believe this is Death Monarch trying to break through to Essence Creation realm” Sharur paused for a second and then added

”It is amazing that such a figure existed in this world.”

”Will breaking through the Essence Creation realm invite such calamity?ʼ Raymond asked as he once again look at the sky

Because he is feeling that the premonition of danger is spiking right now.

He could feel that the strength and power that is converging upon the sky is not something to laugh about

And that pressure is getting stronger. His frown is already deep and there is a trace of worries in his heart.

he also strives to be strong. But now, feeling the calamity that is about to descend to Earth he could not help but feel a little bit afraid.

this kind of oppression could break any man and break any formation on Earth. Raymond felt like he was infinitely small under the pressure of this force that is slowly descending upon Earth

Ordinary people probably could not sense this powerful destructive force but Raymond could feel it because of his connection with the world

It is like the earth knows when there would be a storm and so Raymond could feel it

He thought to himself, if this is the kind of punishment he had to go through to break through, it is truly a terrifying punishment

And he might not survive such calamity if this is the kind of punishment that he had to endure to break through to Essence Creation. Just thinking about it makes him shudder. But Sharur quickly spoke

”No, this is not simply because Death Monarch breakthrough to Essence Creation that would invite such calamity”

Sighing Sharur then mutters

”It is something else.”

Sharur went silent for a second before a sound of sigh could be heard again and then Sharur said

”Someone is trying to walk a very hard and taboo path. This kind of path…. not many people could walk it till this level. This Death Monarch….is really powerful. Raymond, you have to become stronger” The mace said and then the mace flew back toward the floating island. Like a flash of lightning, the mace disappears from his side in almost an instant. Raymond understood Sharur intention. ”It is time now” he thought to himself. He has premonition that today is the day he would break through to Divine Comprehension realm

This calamity could also be considered an opportunity. It is funny how things work like this. Calamity and fortune coexisted and the line that separate between the two is like line written on a sand

The difference and line are hard to see

Raymond is confident and with the trident in his hand he turns into a streak of light, rushing toward the Heavens

By now, there is already three people flying to the sky, feeling the changes of the Heaven, the impeding calamity that is about to struck earth

Destiny and Fate like always weaves its tapestry. But the lines are wrongs and a new story is about to be written and new characters and new fate and destiny would appear. Who is weaving the past? How would it feel now, seeing its thread mess to such a degree?

Who is weaving the present? How would it feel seeing the thread not move the way it wanted to?

And who is weaving the future? And how it would feel when it sees, the thread, the tapestry is very different from what it imagined?

They would go crazy

Fate and Destiny would go crazy, cause and effect changes and the fate of the world shifted considerably. And those who have reached the highest level and in seclusion all over the Omniverse could feel this shift of fate and destiny. ..

All over the world, there is many more gazes that look toward the sky. And all over the world, there is people flying to the sky

Some people could feel that this is their opportunity and some did not dare to take the risk

The kind of calamity that is about to descend, unless you have confidence in your strength, it is better not to meet such calamity

Some could guess why such calamity descend. Some could not

But everyone understood one thing. This kind of calamity could also be considered a fortune. And thing about fortune is that like love, it favours the bold

But the one that is stimulating this calamity, did not even feel it.

Azief is immersed with this feeling of losing something. Feeling weak.

He had extracted three of the Laws in his being. And such his control over the Law become even more weak. And he becomes even weaker, his breath becomes harder and the body become more solid, no longer a being of pure energy

He is still floating and flying over the sky because of his other laws but Azief could feel that as he extracts more and more of his laws from his body, he would become weaker

Azief landed on the ground and the mist landed on the ground with him. The three mists around him have now transformed into a silhouette of a person.

It is slowly becoming even more clearer and solid. And because this mist is actually the essence of himself, the avatar is also looking more and more like him but with a few difference

Azief landed on the ground and he could sense ghat there is people coming towards him. Azief look toward one direction. And even though his Divine Sense could sense them he could no longer use his Divine Sense as adeptly as before

”I wanted to use the Divine Sense to warn them not to come here” he mutters to himself

If he had to guess, the people coming might be Sasha and the others. Sasha would probably know that it is him and she might make the decision to come to see him to make sure of it. But Azief could no longer stop. Breakthrough to this realm is not something you could just stop wily nily. If Azief really did that, he might cut of any possibility of breaking through to Essence Creation, now and forever

He took a deep breath; close his eyes and he sit on the ground. The moment he sits on the ground, the entire ground depressed five feet down and the ground around him all crack into a weblike crack

But Azief is already back into his Inner World He sees his Inner World and his Inner Universe looking like it is on the verge of collapse. But he ignores all of this and look at someplace else

There is still a trace of a very powerful energy in his body.

This energy is quite foreign and quite peculiar

Celestial energy

This is why he could still fly. Because of the celestial energy. This celestial energy is like the Universal Law

It concerns the Heavenly Will and it concerns the manipulation of the celestial energies that exist in every world

Skies, and cosmos under Heavenly influence, the celestial energy could manipulate these matters in unlimited fashion

A trace of it could point the way to become an Immortal

The Immortal in Jade Empire is Immortal that is restrained by the Heavenly Will but there are also carefree immortals that is free from the five elements, not tainted by cause and effect and could traverse anywhere in the whole Universe, cosmic barriers are nothing and their longevity is as long as Heaven and Earth if not longer

Carefree Immortal how many there are in the wide Omniverse? Most of them are bound. And Celestial energy creates Immortal. This is the difference between normal celestial energy and the celestial energy of the Jade Empire

The Celestial energy of the Jade Empire also has its own method on how to use it, its own system

But because Azief has his own methods, he did not need to change his method.

Because the method that Azief practice is an all-encompassing method of strengthening oneself

In the Jade Empire, the energy is combined with moves and spell, the energy is fuel and the technique takes precedence to change the celestial energy to a different form and to do a certain function

But Azief did not need to do that because what the people of Earth pays attention to is the energy one could use and to use it is the easiest thing to do

The hardest thing is to gain such energy in the first place

When Azief closes his eyes, he appears inside his Inner World watch his Inner universe collapsing and then as he appears like a god in his own Inner World, he waves his hand, the celestial energy dissipated and his body could no longer absorb celestial energy.

Another mist is formed and Azief felt another bout of weakness, another domain of power leaving his existence

Like being cut, the feeling is not pleasant. That celestial energy that always fills his body with boundless strength all disappeared. Slowly at first then rushing out like a broken dam. Weakness covers his entire being and another Essence was extracted.

Azief could only focus on his moment of weakness and he did not realize that above his head, further and higher than the sky, there is a force that is gathering

And this force is not benevolent
