Zes is MC in this one too!!!!!!!!
Chapter 100 The end (4)
Zes of course also noticed the multiple divine senses that had suddenly appeared and quickly discerned their identities. A gentle smile appeared at his face as he saw that Reis and the other girls were part of them and a weird face was made as he noticed a divine sense that was strangely similar to his and Reis.
Of course he was also happy about Maarans presence as well as the patriarchs, they were the once that had accompanied him for the last four years.
And once in all this time he was happy about the cage he and the three gods were caught in. After all this cage did not only held him inside, it also made it impossible for the gods to suddenly attack his friends and family outside of it.
Thinking about all the people outside Zes heart became warm and a feeling of longing appeared inside of his mind.
'I should really finish it now."
Thinking that he focused back onto the three gods who had started to fuse their auras with each other. The space around them changed as powerful streams of energies flowed between them exchanging terrifying amounts of daos, laws and rules belonging to the strangest and most unique energy forms.
With the pure eyes Zes was able to see that the quantity of thus laws he saw before him exceeded anything he knew of. In fact even his dao of Emperor that had been able to use any energy he saw before was unable to analyse the immeasurable stream of daos and energies.
But there was one thing that shocked Zes.
That was, that as the energies with all their laws and rules streamed between the three gods, they formed a pattern. It was indistinct, but as Zes looked closer upon it he discovered that the whole streams of energies that circulated between the three gods formed a huge seal like formation.
"What is this?"
His eyes contracted as he asked this. The powers this technique would have was nothing he could underestimate. In fact he wasn't even sure just how much damage this technique could do! The only thing he could be sure of was that it would be more then enough to end his meager existence.
The green god started to laugh cruelly as he saw the faint fear in Zes eyes.
"Seems your not completely retarded as you can see the might of this technique. You might have survived up to now and it might be true that in therms of true power we are no match for you, but we have this. This technique is something passed on by our last demon kind paragon.
In fact it was this technique that ultimately killed him. Over the generation it was a passed on in order to serve as a ace to use if some human expert appeared that even out strongest demon kind experts could get a hold of.
It is a ultimate technique even cable of killing a paragon stage cultivator and we three have to pay a terrible price to activate it, but do you think that you can survive it?"
Arrogance glittered in the green mans eyes as he hatefully glared at Zes
The later felt cold shivers going over his back and sweat covering his forehead. He was extremly clear of his powers and even though he was stronger then the three gods by quite the margin, he was still far away from the realm the paragon's from back then had reached.
So if a paragon someone who was like the heaven for him was unable to completely block this technique and even ultimately died because of it, how was he supposed to survive.
Slowly panic welled up inside of Zes. he had to act quickly and stop them from using this technique cause once it was used even though the three gods would become almost powerless, he would already have turned into dust and blown away by the wind.
Sweat going down his chin Zes suddenly speed of. Instantly forming a dozen hand seal he used up a huge chunk of his qi and created multiple huge swords around him. Inside of his right hand 'Aria of Wrath' once again appeared shining in red light.
Using all this he directly headed towards the three gods that were surrounded by the streams of energies and laws.
Gritting his teeth Zes send the huge swords of qi letting them crush into the streams. Explosions boomed as the swords slammed into the countless laws and daos making up the streams and ripples containing terrifying sword daos rippled apart some of the smaller streams.
But even though the huge swords managed to do a bit of damage to the seal the streams formed, the small streams they had destroyed quickly reformed leaving no sign that they had been destroyed a moment ago.
The tension in Zes rose as he saw that his qi swords did not damage, nevertheless he continued his way and channeling another chunk of qi into his sword he dealt a blow towards the seal.
A illusory sword formed and cut towards the seal severing multiple big streams of energy and halting the process of the technique. But just like the last time the streams quickly reformed and the progress of the technique contiued speedily.
By now Zes was already completely panicked. If he wouldn't be able to destroy the seal in the next few seconds it would mean his certain death and probably completely destruction of everything he was. Not even his soul would be left if it hit him head on.
But no matter what he tired, how ever he slashed his sword, which seal techniques he threw against the seal and the gods hidden inside of it. It was no use. They just slashed apart some streams leaving the big majority to continue their work.
"It's no use. No matter what you do you won't be able to escape this calamity!"
The red god roared happily.
This was the moment when they finally would destroy this hateful fellow who made them fight for so many weeks, who humiliated them more then one time and who seemed to never get serious in his fights.
Then with a huge ball of light the technique was completed. The gods instantly disappeared inside of the blinding light right away followed by Zes. Finally it stopped at the cubelike formation array surrounding them.
Shocked Reis and the others standing a few miles away stared at the sudden event.
"Zes!"
Tears ran down Reis eyes as she saw with her divine sense how Zes was completely wrapped up by the blinding light. Just judging from the expression he had before it happened she could already tell that this attack was far more powerful then anything Zes could handle.
…….
Insight of the ball of light Zes was struggling as the light began to disintegrated him at lightning speed. It was as if billions of laws had suddenly decided that he had to be eliminated and now together destroyed his body and soul.
Powerful pain was exploding inside of his brain as he felt his body melt away in the white light. It grew stronger and stronger to a point where Zes wasn't even able to roar as his complete body was paralyzed by it. In this moment where the pain completely enveloped his body and mind, Zes suddenly retreated his soul from his body.
Hiding in the deepest coner of his mind he trembled. he didn't want to die, but what could he do? The power of this technique was far to powerful and he had no way to get out of it. He could only wait for his body to get completely destroyed and his soul to finally shatter.
Hopelessness and Resignation filled him as he began to just stare at his own body as it was melting away at high speed. He wasn't this body anymore, it was as if he was just an outside observing some over guy as he was destroyed at his core.
Watching his own body melting away something changed. Time started to slow down around him and a bit later he looked up from his own body and looked directly into the light surrounding him.
He saw thousand of daos and energies gathered around there as they destroyed the matter his body was made of. Energies he knew and some he didn't knew. He saw how they moved in their own unique ways and how they seemed to follow some pattern. Simply staring at them he was there his body disintegrating.
At some point his dao of Emperor kicked in without him knowing and he started to comprehend each of the natural rules he saw before his eyes.
Time seemed to have stopped in this space Zes was in. One natural law after another was comprehended and while he was unconsciously doing so the pattern they were flowing in also became visible for him.
He was conscious again, but now he did't fear his death. He didn't bother with his body that was destroyed and with his soul that was on the brink of shattering. The only thing in him was the light and the mysteries it hid inside of it.
Suddenly he thought back to the picture with the cherry blossoms he had mediated over, he thought about the seemingly useless seal technique that had made him so much more powerful then the gods and then he looked back into the light.
And it was completely clear to him.
From ancient times cultivators had gone from complicated and weak seal techniques to simpler dao essences and finally the simplest daos and true daos. From complicated to simple they believed to get stronger the simpler it became.
After all the simpler the more it could hold. A sentence can only have one meaning a word hundreds. A Stone can serve thousands of purposes while a spearhead at most a dozen.
The simpler the more ways to utilize, the less power would be lost in the process of the attack.
So while everyone started with the complicated movements of seal technique once they reached the stage of creating dao essences that were able to do the same thing as hundreds of different techniques who would keep practicing seal techniques?
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
In millions of years this practise had become normal and the complicated became more and more shunned, believed to be weak and useless.
But what Zes had understood right now was,
that complicated could be even more powerful.
Or rather that just going simpler and simpler would result in a lose of power!
Cultivators always tried to simplify things to the extent where they lost the original power in the process. The best example was the dao to Jerna Reis cultivated. It was a high grade creation stage dao, something unrivaled in their realm. But at one point a ancestor tried to simplify it to make it easier and more powerful. In the end it lost in power and even it's qualifications as creation stage dao.
Of course it was not wrong to go from complicated to simple as it was only a natural thing. Smith's were melting tens of different metals into one alloy to create a stronger steel. This steel is then used for a sword that is more powerful then a sword made of a single metal.
So they had simplified the tens of metals into one alloy that was more powerful.
But, this process also had to be reversed. It had to go to complicated again to become more powerful.
Looking at this, what is more powerful a gun made of many complicated parts or a simple sword?
The answer is clear.
So looking at this the cultivators made one mistake. They only simplified but never complicated. In the end they stagnated at one point and couldn't progress anymore.
This simple thing was what Zes had just understood. And suddenly he woke up.
His body was already almost completely destroyed, but as soon as he woke up he forced some daos around him to rapidly heal him. Then he formed a simple hand seal. As soon as he did so more and more dao's separated from the white light and the patterns they had followed and joined the once that healed his body.
The hand seal seemed simple, it was simple. But what made it powerful was the fact that it used pure daos as foundation. In some sense it was like a creation stage dao or a formation. A combination of many different daos that formed a single entirety.
Forming a second handseal, the remaining light around him dispersed and the dao's were ripped apart. Following this the whole ball of light disappeared revealing it's interior.
The three gods were still standing were they had before. Only now they were visibly weakened. The auras surrounding them had dimmed and they were only comparable to a pear deity exceeding expert.
Shocked they started at Zes who was standing at the place he was before. His body was being restored at high speed and even the completely destroyed clothes reappeared round him.
"T-this is impossible!"
Staring at Zes who seemed to be totally fine the three gods almost fainted. This had been their last card, the last thing they could think of to get rid of Zes. They had sacrificed a huge deal of their power to activate the technique and firmly believed that there was no way Zes could survive it.
Just as they were about to say another word, ripples suddenly descended.
All around Zes ripples started to shake the space as they went down onto him. A powerful aura then rose from Zes body several powerful then even the three gods combined from back then.
"Paragon!"
Alarmed the three gods watched the ripples descend and the powerful aura following them. They instantly knew just what had happened. Zes had a break through and archived the paragon stage!
Zes on the other side only wryly smiled.
This was the thing that separated paragon's form normal cultivators? Because of this small problem there have been no paragons for the last few billion years?
Well either way he had overcome this hurdle and reached the paragon state surviving the attack of the three gods.
"Wait, even if he is a paragon now, it doesn't change the power of the technique we used. After all out ancestor was also a paragon but still succumbed to it!"
Just as Zes was about to rejoice over his survival he froze. Faintly he felt that on every part of his body zells were destroyed at high speed and regenerated at the same speed. Shocked he found out, that there were daos all around him that grinded down onto him!
The gods also noticed this sudden turn.
"Hahahaha, but of course!"
The red gods face palmed himself while laughing.
"The technique we use it the 'Heavenly Decree Technique' that even killed our ancestor. How could it be this simple! The technique isn't limited on the ball of light it produced earlier, it also contiues to grind down onto the targets body until it is completely destroyed.
Paragon's may have the power to resist it for some time, but eventually even they will die because of the constant attacks!"
Zes face turned white. He had just escaped one calamity and now he found out that he would die anyway! Of course it would shock him.
But the shock only held for a moment. Zes stabilised himself and turned around glancing into the direction were Reis and the others were standing watching him.
'Even though I will certainly die no matter what I do in this state I will be able to survive for at least one years as long as I do no big movements.'
Then he shook his head and turned to the still standing gods. A faint smile played on his lips.
"I will die,
But you will do so even sooner!"
His eyes turned cold as ice. Then forming a single handseal a huge storm of energies started to roar around him. Together with his advance to paragon stage he also completely comprehended every energies and natural law that existed in the countless realms, so now he could directly use every single of them.
The strom around him stabilised into a Maelstrom and then it shot of towards the three gods. In a moment they were grinded into blood and gore.
Then Zes turned back to the direction his family and friend were. With one snap of his finger the cage combining him broke apart, but he didn't go to them. Instead he spread out his divine sense.
One kilometer
10 kilometers
100 kilometer
1000 kilometer
10000 kilometers
Only as he completely covered the whole planet with his divine sense did he stop. Then suddenly his voice resounded in the minds of the people. No matter where they were, no matter who they were. From the body stage to the deity stage every one was hearing his voice inside of their heads.
"I ZES, PARAGON OF HUMANS HERBY NAME THIS REALM THE HEAVENLY BEGINNING REALM AND ANNOUNCE THE JERNA CLAN AS IT'S LAWFUL RULERS!"
As he finished sweat was gathering on Zes body as his skin was slowly breaking apart. He had not much time, the more energy he used the quicker he would be grinded by the natural laws.
Right now if Zes would completely stop using any energies and natural laws and live a life as normal human he could easily live on for a few years before ultimately dieing, but with every use of qi or other energies his live span reduced by a huge margin.
Nevertheless he didn't stop. Not because he didn't know, but because he didn't want to. He had to do one last thing before perishing. It was the thing he had cultivated in the first place, the reason why he had pushed himself to his outermost.
To make humanity big again.
And he didn't plan to stop on this realm.
SO he didn't stop, but he suddenly channeled 90 percent of his qi into his hands. The speed of dissolvent instantly rose and Zes skin was completely destroyed revealing his naked flesh. Pain flashed though his head before being forcefully suppressed.
Then in one motion Zes released all the qi he accumulated inside of his arm. Like a fountain it shoot out into the sky painting it in a wonderful gold. The gold spread out into each direction and soon the whole sky was completely covered with it.
No matter from which point of the earth you looked up, you would see this wonderful golden sky.
Zes grew more and more indistinct, having used up almost all the energy in his body he couldn't hold his body together as it was grinded by the natural laws.
With one last movement of his hand, the sky once again started to change. The gold gathered together and formed long lines intertwining in the sky. Hundreds of different lines were spread all over the sky making it seem like a huge cage that was holding earth inside it.
This was Zes legacy, a huge formation array covering the whole world.
Now only Zes head was left. The rest of the body was completely destroyed leaving only his head. With his last power Zes spreads out his divine sense again and sends a message to Reis.
"Reis I'm sorry, but I have to go now. I don't know if I will be able to survive this, but I have a chance to and I will take it.
It might take decades or even millennia to get back here but as long as I am alive I promise that one day I will come back.
Meaning while I ask you to take care of the things I have left behind. The formation array is a shield and a portal on the same time. It will stop anyone above deity exceeding stage that is not from this realm to cove here and allow you to travel unrestrained through the countless realms.
I have only one request. Protect Humanity!"
After this message was send, the head finally also turns into dust. A space rift suddenly opens and the dust is sucked into it. Ultimately nothing remains of this paragon of humanity.
