Lord Shadow

Chapter 1663 The Way

Then he look at the sky, look at the heaven, look at that cold face in that other dimension, looking down on him from its divine throne

”On the ground, I am invincible!” he shouted. Defiant. Fearless. Invincible.

His voice seems so low compared to the raging thunder roars and the wind howling and screeching

But, the voice echoes loudly in that other dimension.

It shook the throne of the Heavenly Will and the Heavenly Will face contorts with anger.

”HEI!” He shouted and he stomps his feet and the heavens cracks

The force of Heaven is charging toward the Earth.

Raymond, wielding the Terra Force, stood straight, stood tall, stood sturdily, like stakes that keep the world steady, like a mountain

Around his body, his entire being glowed golden, drawing strength from the depths of the earth, all the elements of energy in this world is used by him

Raymond even got the illusion like he was in control of all the elements in the world

The pressure of Heaven continued, trying to force him down. Trying to depress the ground he is standing on

But the Heaven pressure could not do anything. It depresses the ground on the ten-meter radius from him but in the radius of ten meter around him, the ground stood still.

So, it created a weird scene where it almost seems like Raymond is standing on a platform of elevated ground

”Is that all you got!” he shouted toward the sky. His shout echoes toward the sky, splitting the thunder bolts that is heading towards him. Raymond stamp his feet, the ground around five hundred kilometres radius of him all trembled. The hills nearby flattened into ashes of particles. More and more thunder bombarded the Earth, descending to the ground, like celestial warriors charging out from heaven

Raymond raised his hand and it was like the whole world is lifted with him, channelling the Terra Force

The water created barriers, the wind turns cold, the cold turns water into ice, more elements gathered and the ice barriers turns into solid earth

BOOOM!

BOOOM!

BOOOM!

BOOOM!

The thunder bombarded the barrier and it absorbed this divine onslaught. Raymond is like the Earth itself, the waves of the Ten Seas are boiling, raging toward the skies, water dragons fifty feet tall, surges toward the heaven

The thunders and lightning from the heavens is crushed by these water dragons,

Lions and tigers of titanic proportions emerges from the ground. These are Earth tigers and Earth lions; their bodies are made from the soil of Earth. And they stomp their paws and fly toward the sky, hurling themselves toward the skies. When the skies crushed them, they turns into rains of soils that fall from the sky The clash between the Heavens and Earth intensified

The Heavenly Will is angry as each second passes.

The more defiant Raymond is, the more the Heavenly Will is angered. The more energy the world is drained off, the more the Heavenly Will is livid.

The Heavenly Will gazes toward Raymond from his dimension. And when he gazes, destructive aura is gathered around the Heavenly Will pupils.

And the heavens responded. The Heavens is launching radiant beams from the skies.

Before it was thunder and lightning. Now it is fire from the heaven, concentrated pure power of the flame. Raymond, like the champion of Earth retaliated almost instantly. Towering pillars emerges from the depths of the sea surfaces.

Landscape were shifted. Walls of soil, hard as diamonds, appears around his surroundings. It is a pity that no one is seeing this battle.

What a magnificent battle that is being waged here. Terra Force surged from the bottom of his feet to his veins, grating him power over the domains of Earth.

The Elements of the world all aided him. His life force instead of declining is blooming. Flora and fauna emerges from the barren land that he is standing on

His entire being is vibrant with life force. The few thunders and lightning that passed through the barriers of Earth that he had created would be smashed down by his punch or obliterated by his kick

As for the flames beams, he withstood it with his own body, absorbing the energy of the heaven that is embedded into the fire. Redirecting the divine wrath of the Heavenly Will using nothing but his bare hands, countering the might of Heavens with physical prowess

”Da-re you” The Heavenly Will mutters. The voice is cut off but Raymond in the ground, in the real world, could hear it

He could guess what the Heavenly Will is talking about.

”How dare he fights the Heavens?”

But he is not the only one that is fighting the Heavens right now. After all, there is someone else on the other side of the world is also fighting the heavens right now

Now, that he is half foot into the Divine Comprehension realm, he could feel that there is someone else on the other side of the world that is attempting to breakthrough

And he recognizes who that person is. This aura of thunder and lightning is an aura he recognise very much

On the other side of the world, he could feel Oreki fighting the heavens. No, he thought again

”It is more like comparing with the heavens.” He thought to himself before there is a smile on the edge corner of his mouth

Whether it is comparing, or fighting with it, does it have any difference to the Heavenly Will?

There is Oreki and there is Death Monarch above him also fighting his own tribulations. How could he back down and get forgotten by the times? He would not allow it

Raymond is like the Earth itself right now. Unless someone cut off the connection, right now, Raymond is deeply connected to the world

From the beginning he stands on the ground, his foot lands on the ground, he connected himself with the world.

And so, he could feel the Will of the World. The Heavenly Will and the Will of the world did not always agree on things.

But unlike the Heavenly Will, the Will of the world has no representative, has no personification character like the Heavenly Will

Either it is being suppressed by some force from remerging or it might be that it did not want to personify itself Whatever the reason was, it is not Raymond job to find out. Instead, the battle between Raymond and the Heavenly Will rages on. Raymond attack with the energy of the world, causing earthquakes all over the world

His power alone could not affect the world in such a massive scale. This could only be explained by the fact that he has the trident of Poseidon. Primal energy radiating from his body. And Raymond waves his hand and when he waves his hand, the shield, the barriers that he constructed before were all blown away by a gust of wind

The lightning flashes by bombarding him. This time, Raymond embraced it

He is like a pillar that attracts lightning bolts. Each lightning strengthen it, the energy of the lightning is converted into the Terra Force. And in that moment, Raymond reached deep within his energy, and connecting with the planet

In that one moment, there is something that he sees. It was like he could see the evolution of Earth

See everything that the Earth had experienced from its formation to its end.

All of these images flashes by in his mind, he saw dinosaurs, he saw meteors, fires from the heavens, the Ice age, a world filled with greens, a huge flood that swept away great civilizations and seeing flashes of civilization rebuilding in a hill. All of these is seen by him in that one brief moment. Like he is Earth and saw those living beings, these events that happens trillions of years ago. But there is nothing concrete he could rely on.

The moment he tries to capture those memories, those memories eludes him. It almost like he has seen everything.

And actually, seeing nothing. But there is one memory that he saw that stand out to him. He saw an Orb. And in that Orb, he could feel the energy of creation He feels that just by touching it, one could create worlds and universes with its power

But just as he was about to touch it, everything faded away. And now, Raymond feels that he is at the peak. His body is about to break through, the road toward Divine Comprehension realm is opened wide. The very ground beneath him pulsated with an ancient energy. BOOOM!

The ultimate manifestation of Terra Force is unleashed toward the heavens. Mountain rose from the seas, rivers and lake surges, the Earth itself responded in a surge of power that overwhelmed the heavens All heavenly energy is subdued and Raymond shouted

”I won!” his physical body break the clouds, break the mirage of that gigantic face in the part of the sea he is in, the energy of the heaven was broken through and there stood Raymonda trident in his hand, a mace flying behind his back, wearing a golden armour, his blonde hair waving gracefully, his energy overwhelmed the heaven and earth, his eyes shining so bright like his two pupil is the primordial flame. He is on the last stage of breaking through. If Oreki is comparing himself with the heavenly punishment then Raymond method is enduring the wrath of the Heavens. Defying, Comparing, Enduring, all of these….are their own method and way. Today, if all goes well, there would be the first Essence Creation realm being on Earth and two more people would join the rank of Divine Comprehension leveler
