Duality of Shadows-Chapter 1004: Make All The Difference

The whale snorted as he sensed a pair of golden eyes turn toward him coldly. He thought dryly, ’I still don’t have enough... but there’s a chance.’

He gripped the spear tightly, and Liumi roared. An immense force surged through it like a tsunami, activating all the power of a Paragon-level weapon. At this level, its existence could easily merge with the heavenly laws; it was no longer purely physical, making it nearly impossible to destroy. Because of that, wielding its absurd power without self-destruction became possible.

Suddenly, the queen sensed that dense Origin power within him, and her eyes widened.

He moved, leaping high like an unstoppable arrow. She snorted and waved her hand, controlling the portion of the heavenly laws she had already mastered.

**"Eclipsing Divinity!"**

The spearhead aimed skyward, and the whale struck at the heavens like divine judgment. The world trembled, and all laws seemed to collapse. However, he targeted a very specific point, leaving the queen confused. It wasn’t a direct attack on her?

**BOOOM!!!**

An apocalyptic sound echoed throughout the world. In the World of the Higher Heavens, a massive hole appeared in the midst of the golden expanse.

The whale took a deep breath, exhausting all his strength with that strike. He wouldn’t be able to use it again, but he looked at the hole and smirked wickedly.

His body was enveloped in a gray aura. Then, a colossal shadow materialized in the World of the Higher Heavens. It was a tree of cosmic proportions. Its branches moved and pierced directly into that hole, spreading in all directions within that world.

The queen was puzzled but immediately sensed a change in the environment. He hadn’t tried to attack her or confront the heavenly laws to stop her. In fact... he had created an opening and shattered the core laws of the World of the Higher Heavens.

The whale’s tattoos gleamed like stars.

Their manifestation penetrated the world’s core, and all 777 existing celestial energies were touched by it. At his command, everything moved and was absorbed by the manifestation.

Since they had activated the manifestation in this world and realized that the tree could sustain itself eternally while absorbing energies — even before that, when they had stolen a massive amount of celestial energy and the tree had absorbed it to create a power capable of altering reality — it was clear that these energies could easily fuse with the tree and the pillar of primordial chaos.

They only had one chance. They didn’t have nearly enough to stop the queen, so they had to bet everything on this attempt.

[The Pillar of Primordial Chaos has reached its peak.]

Within the whale’s body, the energies filled the tree of chaos. After reaching its peak, its entire existence shone like a radiant sun. However, that was barely 1% of what they had.

Then...

*Crack!*

A fissure appeared, snaking through the immense tree. Quickly, everything began cracking and splintering as if about to explode.

"The Pillar of Primordial Chaos can’t absorb everything directly..." he reflected seriously.

Meanwhile, the queen snorted and refocused on the heavenly laws. Whatever he was scheming, after she mastered everything, he would just be a turtle in a jar. She needed less than an hour to conclude and dominate it all.

Alm and Bruno were tense. They needed to harness those energies and fuse everything into the tree. The power of the Pillar of Primordial Chaos and the mandate of Heaven’s Will were their only hopes of turning the tide. That’s why they wanted to energize the tree to the maximum with all the available energy.

How could they resolve this? He thought tensely as countless cracks spread through the tree, producing ominous sounds.

At that moment, they remembered the methods used by a young Fiendgod who eventually became a divine Dao: physical cultivation.

This Fiendgod had developed a method to steal and absorb celestial energy, calling it the Gates of Life and Death.

These gates were something extremely unique. All souls were subtly connected to the heavenly laws; the gates exploited that connection, creating a bridge to the World of the Higher Heavens where those energies resided.

Thus, a specific energy among the 777 was used to nourish the body and solidify the gate and the bridge. When the gate was complete, it functioned as a distinct core, accumulating and bringing more of that energy to nourish the body gradually.

Alm and Bruno didn’t hesitate and decided to give it a try. They had always relied on techniques created by others, but they mastered them and evolved them to a new level using their knowledge. That was how they had managed with the tattoos, the seed of chaos, and now they would do the same with physical cultivation.

"That Fiendgod selected half a dozen energies to create this... now I have all 777..." he murmured seriously, then had an idea.

The energies were parts of the Birth-Law, which made them closely related to Yin and Yang, also components of that structure. Thus, they sensed and separated the energies according to those closest to Yin or Yang, such as the five natural elements, which were a combination of these forces.

They created seven groups, each containing 111 energies, and fused them within the tree of chaos. Then, they used the principles of physical cultivation to shape those energies.

Gradually, each group synchronized, becoming more stable and easier to control. They were closely aligned and didn’t conflict with each other. The cracks on the tree stopped spreading.

Soon, seven gates formed within the tree. The energies inside each gate swirled calmly, and he realized he could open one gate at a time, unleashing a unique power generated by the fusion of energies.

"This looks like..." he murmured, signaling to activate the elemental rune of earth calamity.

One of the gates reacted to that law. The power of that gate was very similar to the earth calamity, allowing both to be activated together and merge.

"Perfect," he quickly said, moving the seven calamity runes closer to the gates. The five elementals began to slowly absorb the energies, immediately entering a hibernation state, as though they were cultivating.

Each gate now corresponded to an element and an elemental spirit. There were no Yin and Yang elementals, but Alm and Bruno could manipulate that on their own as if they were the elementals themselves.

When he opened a gate, even without directly using the elemental calamity power through the system, he felt he could unleash immense power. It would be something entirely different from attacking with the elementals, using less than 1% of their strength as he had done before.

The tree fully stabilized and began absorbing all the energy, accumulating it within the gates. The energies remained stable, correctly separated, as if organized within a core.

It reached a point where he forced the tree to stop absorbing.

They looked at what was left. They had simply stolen all the energy from the World of the Higher Heavens for themselves. That was the energy the heavenly laws used to sustain the universes — an immeasurable amount. The Pillar of Primordial Chaos had absorbed 99.99% of it all.

The tiny remaining fraction wouldn’t matter to the tree, but to them, it made a huge difference.

Without delay, they used the tattoos for their most basic function, something that had been essential throughout their entire journey. All the energy was converted into Qi and sent directly to the whale’s body and meridians.

Muffled sounds echoed repeatedly. Minutes later:

"Ninth level of the Divine Sovereign Realm," the whale murmured with a dark grin.

Now, the next step would be the immortal realm. They had crossed this threshold before and knew it was a boundary that multiplied a cultivator’s power thousands of times at once. They had lacked power, and now this would make all the difference.

They needed to advance and complete their missions as quickly as possible. At that moment, a green window appeared.
