In Training Chamber:
A cocoon made of mana started to crack and disintegrate slowly.
Soon, a man came out as he glistened with luster.
Opening his eyes, Maximus looks around calmly.
“So this is Tier 7…” Maximus muttered, feeling his strength.
He felt that the past him was merely an ant compared to his current strength.
With just his thoughts, he can stir up mana to create chaos and destruction.
“By the way, my domain…”
Before his three years of seclusion, Maximus had long reached tier 7.
However, to ensure the formation of his domain, he hurriedly entered seclusion.
As his domain began to spread, he felt the underlying origin of the world.
The very fabric of mana, the law that governed all things.
Although he can’t control these laws, he can see it’s very fabric of its detail.
“‘Origin’ Domain! what a powerful domain!” Maximus muttered in excitement.
Usually, Although the domain can help you have a glimpse of law, it’s only a glimpse.
However, for him, it was already presented on his plate.
Although he can’t eat it, he can smell, touch, and arrange it in whatever he likes.
Meaning He can deprive anyone in his domain of the power of law.
Without enough control, they can only be a powerless chicken waiting to be chopped off.
As for mana, he can also deprive it without a doubt.
However, there is no need, as he can beat anyone if they are only fighting with mana.
With his unlimited mana, who can still defeat him using it?
Only the power of law can harm him.
That is why previously, he wanted to avoid facing those Apex Sovereigns.
As for 8th-tier individuals, they can also use a bit of power of law.
He was not so scared about them as He had a lot of preventive measures that he could buy.
If push came to shove, he was confident in defeating them.
Now, with his current strength, as long as his opponent is not an apex sovereign.
He can fight mano mano without using any tricks.
Furthermore, although he is still no match for the apex sovereigns.
They can’t scare him any longer.
They can’t do anything to him as long as they’re in his domain.
They can only wish to harm him unless they fully control the power of law, like those Ancient Apex Sovereigns.
As for the power of his domain, besides observing the origin of things and depriving the power of law.
It can also copy anything.
It’s not just resources; he can also copy special physiques and other domains.
Of course, it’s only temporary while his domain is active.
Usually, the longest someone can activate their domain is a few hours.
However, this rule doesn’t apply to Maximus; He had unlimited mana!
He can have the copied special physique and domain at all times.
It’s equivalent to having an additional semi-permanent physique and domains.
Unless he dies and the domain is deactivated, he can have it forever.
Converging his domain until it was hidden, Maximus opened his system panel.
[Maximus Shadowcrest:
Tier 7: 0%
Mana Compatibility: Rank 9 Dimensional Source (Ultimate)
Soul Amplitude: 1,000,000,000 (0.1%)
Soul Will: 1,000,000,000 (0.1%)]
Looking at the Soul Amplitude and The Soul Will, he couldn’t help but smile wryly.
Instead of a hundred times, he needed a thousand times to have them completed.
Remembering how hard he filled it up to reach the current billion, he had a headache.
Although he had System points, the feeling that his head was filled with various information all day long was not good.
In the beginning, he thought it was awesome and convenient.
Now, he nearly vomited at such a thought.
In his current arsenal of information, tier 8 cultivation manual, skills, spells, mechanics, domains, special physiques, laws, etc.
There are too many that, even with billions of system points daily, it was merely a drop in the ocean.
As for the tier 8 chapter of ‘Origin,’ Maximus didn’t even reach 1 percent of progress.
Tier 8 is the stage of law foundation, and Maximus needed to study over a hundred thousand laws to create the tier 8 chapter of ‘Origin.’
Maximus nearly went bald when he looked at the galaxies of books he needed to study.
Closing his system panel, he thought of his next plan.
First, the plan to conquer the entire Curse Continent is still on the shelves.
Maximus wants to delay it as much as possible.
Without the strength of the 8th realm, he is still unsure if he can solve all the problems.
Second, he still lacks the ultimate treasure needed to consolidate his tier.
Over the decades, Maximus has only been able to reserve over 300 ultimate treasures.
The other 700+ are not available.
Using a pseudonym, Maximus contacted various dimensional firm personnel to see where he could buy the missing ultimate treasure.
Unfortunately, the news he receives is not what he wanted.
Starting at tier 7, ultimate treasures are rarely on sale.
The reason he was able to accumulate over 300 of them is that the ultimate treasures he got were not that rare.
As for the others, he can only buy them at dimensional auctions or exchange contribution points for them by joining top-dimensional organizations.
The problem is he has no access to other dimensions.
Unless the Myriad World Mall is updated, Maximus can’t do anything about his problem.
Maximus can only pause his steps and tread lightly until he has enough strength to expose the Myriad World Mall to the world.
Shaking his head, Maximus thought of another problem.
Reaching the tier 7 realm, he was about to do a mandatory mission.
This mandatory mission is issued directly by Fealan to all students reaching the 7th tier.
It is also how students, nurtured by the Origin Arcana Institute, repay their worth.
As for the mission, it’s to go into the Abyss Realm.
This time, it’s not for some competition or whatnot.
It is to slow the pace of the Abyss Realm, thereby giving the Etherium Realm more time.
They need to kill, kill, kill until they accumulate enough merits to get out.
They either die accumulating merits or come out as a hero.
As for how many merits points are needed, it’s not based on anything but your realm of cultivation.
One needs enough merits for the Etherium Realm to promote them to the 8th tier.
This time, the world’s origin energy doesn’t need to be absorbed.
The Etherium Realm will directly impart it to you, thereby promoting you to the 8th tier in an instant.
Such a method is tempting for many – a shortcut to advancing.
If there is such a way, why not take it?
Unfortunately for him, to reach tier 8, the merit he needed to accumulate was overwhelming.
Maximus estimated that the merit he needed was almost equivalent to the promotion from tier 8 to tier 9.
Such a huge amount, even if he killed abyss monsters day and night without stopping.
It would take him at least a thousand years to accumulate enough merits.
Now, that’s a problem.
The era of imperial domination is still ongoing, and the all-out war will happen at any time during these thousand years.
How can he miss it because he was in the abyss?
There is also his family.
How could he have left them for a thousand years when he had only been with them for less than a century?
Unfortunately, this is a death mission; Maximus can only delay it, not deny it.
“A big problem…” Maximus sighed as he thought of a solution.
“If I’m only powerful enough, I can traverse dimensions whenever I want…” He thought wistfully.
“Dimensional Void body!” Suddenly, he thought of his grandson’s physique.
Although the special physique is still unawakened, it should be enough.
After copying Silvan’s special physique and with the assistance of various treasures.
Maximus can come back to the Etherium Realm whenever he wants.
“Hey, the Origin domain is really powerful…”
Thinking that he could copy the physique of anyone, anytime he wanted.
Maximus felt the benefit of such a domain.
Thinking of the various physiques of his children, he couldn’t help but copy them immediately.
Over these 30 years, with an unlimited supply of origin mana that, they could use it to wash clothes and water the garden.
All of his wives and his children reached rank 8 supreme potential.
Their special physique also exerted a slight effect, making the system determine precisely what special physique they have.
Unfortunately, without reaching tier 9, it was still unawakened.
The good news is that none of his wives and children had a mortal-level physique; the lowest is a heaven-level physique.
Maximus can only thank his genes, or maybe the system, for blessing his family that none of them is trash.
After all, a special physique is permanent.
Unless you had a heaven-defying chance, it’s hard to change.
As for him being able to choose the ultimate dimensional-level physique, it should be the benefit of his transmigration.
After all, he was able to float in the void long enough for the system to find him.
He also experienced various dimensional exposures during the time-space cracks.
His system probably only assisted in filtering and awakening his physique.
