Chapter 374 Advance To Peak
??One Hundred And Fifty Years Later...
In the Imperial Castle:
Maximus carefully sensed the flowing essence ofw in the world.
"Transcendence Mastery... How fascinating," Maximus mused.
For the first time, Maximus marveled at the beautiful structure of the Etherium Realm.
Differentws from different dimensions formpletews yet it didn''t copse.
If not for the interference of the abyss, sooner orter 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 ofw 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.
Thews were just merged together like ydough.
It''s too messy; just looking at it made Maximus feel as if he were in a shoddy house that would copse with a single touch.
He was simply amazed it couldst 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 itter."
With his mastery ofw 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 poption explosion and the poprity 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 monthster.
Maximus looked in amazement at the ninth chapter of ''Origin'' while simultaneously gaining a deeper understanding of being at the apex.
The self-regtion and internalization ofw.
Advancing to tier 9 meant converting to a being ofw.
One would no longer be in the category of race, flesh, blood, or even soul.
The entire being, personality, and spirit would merge to be a matter ofw.
This essentially recing 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 eachw.
Furthermore, because of the dimensional suppression, one could only be a master of onew.
No matter how talented one was, they could only be limited to onew.
Although it is said that specialization is better than master of all trades.
Maximus couldn''t do with just onew.
His path is the Origin; it should epass allws 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 anyw, Maximus shouldn''t have any problem directly internalizing it as his own.
Maximus could even directly internalize all the hundred thousand Essence of Law present in all dimensions.
The only problem was that it was expensive.
If he internalized thew of the Etherium Realm, he only needed to wait for it to advance to tier 10, then he couldprehend the following state ofw, which is the Origin of Law.
However, internalizing thew of the World Tree, Maximus needed to personally invest to condense the essence ofw to the Origin of Law.
Thinking of the expenses he would need in the future, he couldn''t help but cringe.
"Huh~"
Taking a deep breath, Maximus decided.
Binding his future to a dimension would only limit his path.
Although it was a little more expensive, the limit would be up to him.
His goal is the peak; nothing should limit him; otherwise, he would only stop at tier 11 no matter what he did.
Looking at the World Tree in his palm, he seemed to witness a bottomless pit that couldn''t be filled.
"I hope you won''t disappoint me..."
...
Ten yearster.
Putting in massive system points and resources, Maximus began to cultivate the 1,118 Essence of Law present in the Etherium Realm.
With over 70 units of Amalgamation of Will every day, he didn''t have any problem when it came to system points and resources.
In just ten years, he condensed all thews present in the Etherium Realm.
Looking at the otherws besides the ones present in the Etherium Realm, Maximus could only sigh.
Although he could also internalize otherws for his use, he didn''t have enough time.
To internalize otherws, he needed to firstprehend them to transcendence and input them into his ''Origin'' cultivation technique.
It would take too much time, and he had a feeling he didn''t have much of it.
Tier 9 is self-regting and internalizing, meaning itsws would be part of the body.
In the past, when he absorbed elements not present in the world, they would immediately shatter and disperse in the world.
However, upon reaching tier 9, the dimensionalw could no longer interfere.
No matter what type of energy he absorbed, it would be contained in his body and wouldn''t disperse.
This is also why an Apex Sovereign is immortal.
The energy they absorb would be theirs; unless they use it, it won''t dissipate on its own.
They were basically robbers, robbing the worlds of their energy.
That''s why those ancient Apex Sovereigns were so suppressed that they could only send clones out to interact with the outside world.
Although it''s not as bad as when he was suppressed.
It was enough that they needed to resist all the time, being locked into seclusion.
"Huh~"Taking a deep breath, he turned his attention to the present.
Reminding his family of seclusion, Maximus began to internalize the 1,118ws inside the World Tree.
Maximus slowly reced the properties of his body withw.
Themon elements: Fire, Water, Wood, Earth...
The Rare Elements: Space, Time, Nether..
The Supreme Elements: Chaos, Creation, Fate...
With eachw, Maximus felt endless power coursing through him.
As he continued to internalize hisws, the crystallized will that surrounded his ''Origin'' also started to change.
Feeling the change was not causing harm, Maximus continued.
Law afterw merged into him, recing his flesh, blood, and soul.
...
Three yearster.
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, thew around began to stir.
"How fascinating!"
If previously Maximus felt like terraforming and 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 sessfully advanced.
"I seeded!" 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 Boundaryyers of the abyss copsed 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.
