Lord Shadow - Chapter 1638 Envious of Perfection

Chapter 1638 Envious of Perfection

“A Nether Sword”

Containing the death force, able to cut concepts of Life, absolute power of death, absolute power of destruction

Even the space and time around the sword is destroyed.

It is destroyed and try to reinvent itself but around that sword, time and space is unable to fill the gap

Both of these energies is quickly extracted from his body

The Essence Avatar emanated energies and the whole world shakes and trembles

But what happens to Azief? The source of this power?

In Pandemonium, he is still concentrating, extracting the energy from his body.

Of course, if this is documented it might seem easy. Words are easy. Action is not.

And that is how it feels when doing this. It is like you are ripping something that is a part of you. Like cutting the limbs of your organ

And you have to watch it and feel it as it happens.

The energy turns to laws, the laws turns to Essence, the Essence condense and become an avatar, the avatar become sentient, a life is born, a thought is born, the life is eternal, the thought is eternal

Defying the natural order, condensing the Essence, to reach to the peak

That is the methods of Separation.

That is the Separation of the Essence and the body.

And what happens to Azief?

He coughed blood. He trembles in pain. He is sweating. He is shaking

And he looks at the ground. Amidst the powerful fluctuation energy that his essence avatar is emanating, Azief, the true body is very weak

“Huh?” he mutters when he looks at the ground. On the ground he could see something peculiar.

He could see his blood. But his blood is now red

And he could not help but chuckles seeing this

When he is in Divine Comprehension level, he did not cough blood. Because his body is made of energy

Hence when he is injured, his body leaks energy to the surroundings, to the world and the energy become one with the Heaven and Earth

When he is in Disk Formation, he bleeds

But he bleeds golden blood like the stories of old gods.

And now, as he condense each Essence and brings them out from his body, he could feel that not only his body become fatigue. He could feel life is leaving him.

A certain vitality of force is leaving his body.

And he becomes weaker and weaker.

And he chuckles because he now knows that as he continues to persist in this, he knows what he is sacrificing.

Longevity

But he did not care. He is now past the point of caring.

Even though his Essence Avatar is making all of this earth-shaking heavenly phenomenon appears all over the Heaven and Earth, Azief himself is in a pinch right now.

His body is becoming weaker and weaker and he even begins to sweat. He feels pains, and he feel tired, he feel hungry and his body is no longer?a body of pure energy

He is turning to mortal form with mortal physique with mortal weakness.

Azief should have look sallow and weak. And even though his body does show that weakness, his eyes shines with bright colours, full of life, full of confidence

There is a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, like the feeling of pain that he is now experiencing is nothing but a trifle

with the condensing of the Aether and Nether Law the pressure that his Essence Avatar emanated becomes even more powerful

Space and time around him collapse, not knowing whether to go forward or backwards, like some kind of phenomena that would only happen near a black hole

The ground seems transparent like it existed in the plane and not existing at the same time

By now, the whole world probably could already see and feel the pressure that Azief Essence Avatar is emanating and by now, all the world power probably could already connect the dots and come to the conclusion that Death Monarch is in the process of breakthrough

Azief did not stop. The more he feels that he is weak, the more he is determined to see this through

“I could not stop”

This is not simply his determination.

He simply could not stop.

Not at this point, not at any point when he started doing this

Unlike normal method of breakthrough for Essence Creation, the moment Azief choose the path of the Three Separations, he knows he could not stop at all.

In the normal method of Essence Creation, if he creates one Essence Avatar, he could stop there. He would then accumulate enough energy and enough comprehension of the laws of his avatar before condensing another Essence Avatar

And on and on it goes until all of the Law Avatar is turned into an Essence Avatar.

Essence of the Laws does not need to be an avatar. The avatar is simply so that it is easier to split the consciousness and for the avatar to learn by itself

That is the normal method.

That is the common method.

Azief did not follow the normal method and he did not follow the common method

He wanted Perfection.

And perfection is always envied.

And it is always a taboo.

Perfection means there is nothing lacking

And because nothing is lacking the requirement is harder.

Because it is Perfect. And Perfection is always harder.

Azief must condense all thirteen of his Law Avatar into Essence in one go. And each time he condenses his Law into Essence his life force is decreasing.

Ten thousand years of longevity drained in just a few minutes

But Azief could not stop.

Once he stop, the process is stopped and his breakthrough would be considered a failure.

And Azief don’t think he would be so lucky like last time

Last time, he was in a mysterious place and when?he is out of that mysterious place, the effect of the backlash of a failed, breakthrough did not happen to him

This time, he is quite sure if he failed, there is no second chance. And Azief did not want to rely in such illusory luck

It is good if he have that illusory luck, but as he had learned, luck and fortune, misfortune and bad luck, all of this is the tool of fate and destiny

It is hard to believe in them and it is not good to rely on this. Because there is always a price

Azief is on the ground, he looks at the sky, and his vision could no longer pierce through the clouds.

In the past with all the laws of the world under his command, how easy it was for him to see through everything

He could see pass through walls, his gaze could reach the end of the world and there is nothing in the world he could not see been from millions of miles away

Physical barrier is nothing in front of his eyes.

But now, after condensing the Laws into Essence with the Laws now out of his being and out from his existence, all he could see when he look up toward the sky, is dark clouds, golden skies and blue skies that covers the world

He sees even less than the people of Pandemonium who could see the energy dancing among the clouds in the forms of mist, laws that dances alongside these energies.

Azief could see none of that

“Mortal” he mutters.

And he chuckles.

Before, in order to understand and in order to breakthrough, he tries to pretend to be mortal.

But in the end, pretending is pretending.

Even when he seals his body into mortal form, and even though there is danger all around him, the reason why Azief was still so calm and could easily fish and explore the forest because there is still the fact that the seal could be undone and if danger truly comes to him, he could instantly become a godlike existence

Danger is not truly a danger. Even when he tries to forget that, how could he forget that? So, how could there be truly danger for him

It is only now, that he tasted back the weakness of being mortal that he feels fear and afraid once more.

Uncertainty breeds fear and fear bring about weakness.

What he did is simply a God cosplaying as a mortal.

So, he could not truly understand.

But now, as he strips his divine abilities and divine powers from himself, he truly felt like a mortal

Feeling the powerlessness, the uncertainty of fate and destiny, feeling all of the insecurities one would have as a mortal, the fears.

Azief could do heroic and valiant feat because he knows he could survive. But could he do the same thing, if he could die?

Those who could sacrifice their life for their belief, that is courage that Azief must learn.

Azief could sacrifice his life for getting stronger but deep down inside his heart, Azief always felt this invincibility when he is in death and life scenario

Did he not risk anything? He risk it. But could he do that again? Now….now that he has more thing to lose… it is not so easy to have that daredevil attitude like he was when he first embarked in his journey

At that time, he has nothing, he has no family, no attachment, no friends, no love, no brothers.

But now…now things are very different

Before, he did not have that many things to lose. Not many things to protect. Not many people that he love.

Now, it is different. He have people he did not want to lose. People he wanted to protect. People that he love

He has a lot of things, he has family, he has attachment, friends, love, brothers.

And more and more this all makes him love life, and fear death. And now, as he is weakened, there is that sense of defiance again

He loves life….but why should he fear death!!

“What is to fear death?!” he shouted
