Episode 21: The Peak Chapter 17: The Bestowal of Ten Straight Wins
Linley’s tactics were very direct, yet they were very effective.
In fact, Linley wasn’t worried at all, the probability of Augusta refusing was feared to be less than 10%. Even if Augusta was cautious to the extreme and didn’t allow Linley to go with him. Linley himself was perfectly capable of traveling alone to the Light God Plane to find and kill Augusta.
“Linley, what exactly is your business in going to the Light God Plane?” Augusta inquired with a smile.
“You’ll know when we get there.” Linley, however, didn’t reply.
The two of them flew at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, they were over the Flowing Wind Mountain.
Augusta had also spotted the Thunder Master not far away and couldn’t help but sneer in her heart, “What a pity, with your abilities, if Linley didn’t come with me. There would still be hope for you. It’s just that right now …… you don’t have any hope at all.” Augusta glanced at Linley next to him.
He had some misgivings about Linley taking the initiative to follow him.
However, out of absolute confidence in his strength, Augusta still generously allowed Linley to walk with him.
“This Augusta is really lucky that this Linley is walking with him.” Seeing this, several other masters were also ready to give up.
Just as the two of them, Linley and Augusta, were flying towards that teleportation array, a voice resounded in Linley’s mind.
“Everyone, there is a very important matter at hand. You all hurry and come over.”
Linley heard. He couldn’t help but turn his head towards the direction of the four Rule Lords. The voice was the voice of the Death Sovereign. Linley was puzzled in his heart, “These Four Great Rule Lords. They aren’t chasing me either. Rather, the four of them are there discussing something without knowing what. And now it’s informing us to go over again?”
“What is it?” Light Lord Augusta muttered with a frown.
“Then I. There’s only waiting for the next time to go to the Light God Plane.” Linley smiled faintly.
“Haha. I’m welcome anytime. Go. The matter of the four lords’ lands is most important.” Augusta even laughed as well.
Just like that. Linley’s large group of them turned back and flew over again.
“Rumbling waves lapped at the shore. At this moment, the four great Rule Lords were over a small island.
“What a strange thing.” Linley looked away from the four Rule Lords suspended high in the sky in the distance, and his own divine sense clearly realized that seven Lords as well as himself were flying towards this. There was no one else besides the eight of themselves. “There are quite a few Lord Gods who are still in the Wind God Plane. But, Death Lord, how is it that only eight of us were summoned?”
Linley instantly understood.
Seven Lords, and himself, he was also at the Lord level of strength.
“Everyone is here.” The red-haired, pretty girl looked at the eight with a smile.
“My lord.” The eight people, including Linley, saluted.
The seven Law Sovereigns generally addressed the Rule Sovereigns as adults. To show respect.
“I remember when the heavens and earth were born around a trillion years ago, at that time, numerous Lord Gods were born. 11 Lords were also born, but of the 11 Lords at that time, the only ones who have survived to the present day are eight.” The red-haired, pretty girl smiled faintly.
“En?” Linley was secretly astonished.
It turned out that for countless years, even Juggernaut level powerhouses had fallen several times before.
“Around a trillion years after the birth of Born, that time, Destruction Lord Utrecht and Destiny Lord Aoife once fought. I believe that many people present know the outcome. That time, it was Utrede who was slightly inferior.” The red-haired pretty girl laughed.
“At that time, Lord Utrede, and Lord Aoife. Both had already reached the Great Perfection Realm. That battle was indeed wonderful.” That Thunder System Lord smiled.
The red-haired pretty girl nodded slightly, “Although they reached the Great Perfection early, countless years have passed, and both of them have improved their strength a lot from back then. I believe that you are also well aware of the increase in their strength! And today, after countless years, they are about to engage in a competition battle once again!”
The lords present were stunned.
“Battle?” Linley was also taken aback.
At the level of a Rule Lord. If they were to fight, it wouldn’t just be a sparring match anymore, if they weren’t careful, they could be killed.
“This, two lords, you?” The only female among the seven Rule Lords, the Water Lord, was astonished.
“It doesn’t matter if I tell you guys.” The Destruction Sovereign shrouded in black robes indifferently said, “Aoife and I. Apart from that earlier match. Later, I received the Supreme Divine Artifact. And when he received the Will Might Reward. We competed once more. This time. Will be our third match.”
“Will prowess rewards?” Linley was puzzled in his heart.
Destiny Lord Aoife smiled, “It’s merely a contest. Let’s go, let’s go into the spatial turbulence.” With that, Aoife made a single stroke with one hand —-
A wide spatial crack suddenly appeared in the space ahead.
The four great Rule Lords flew into it first, followed by Linley and the eight of them, and then the spatial crack dissipated and was repaired.
As Rule Lords, they wouldn’t compete easily.
After all, everyone stood at the very pinnacle, and once they fought, it was likely that one side would fall. They were jealous of each other and were unwilling to strike each other. From this, one could imagine how rare it was for two Rule Lords to compete. The other Sovereigns, including Augusta, also appeared to be looking forward to it.
In the void, multicolored turbulence flowed.
Twelve silhouettes stood in the void.
“Haha, Utrecht, this time it was you who initiated the challenge. You’re so confident, don’t lose again this time.” The red-haired pretty girl laughed out loud.
“Hmph.”
The Destruction Lord shrouded in black robes immediately flew towards the void. And the white-robed, white-haired old man, the Fate Sovereign, also flew towards the void with a smile. As for the other ten, they were watching from afar.
“My lord, after that Will Power Reward, of the four Rule Lords, Aoife should be the strongest. However, the Destruction Lord Utrede has an Attack Supreme Artifact. I wonder who will win and who will lose in their second match?” The Water Sovereign with long turquoise hair inquired to the Death Sovereign.
“You couldn’t hear the meaning of my words just now, of course Utrede lost.” The Death Juggernaut smirked.
The other Sovereigns were also somewhat unconvinced.
If one didn’t rely on the Supreme Divine Artifact, it was the Fate Lord who was the strongest. Without relying on Supreme Divine Artifacts, all the Destiny Sovereign possessed was just a Soul Defense Supreme Divine Artifact, which couldn’t increase his attack power. But why was it that, the Destruction Lord still lost the second time?
“As for why did you lose? Hmph, this old man Aoife. How many of you can see the frightening nature of his strength?” The Death Juggernaut said with a bland smile.
The group of lords quieted down.
“Will prowess rewards?” Linley couldn’t help but speak. “My lord, the Will Might Reward, what exactly is it?”
“You don’t even know this?” The Death Lord looked at Linley in confusion, and the other Lords also looked at Linley.
“I really don’t know.” Linley smiled helplessly.
A smile appeared on the Death Sovereign’s pretty little face, “Haha, you’ve only been cultivating for less than ten thousand years now, it’s normal that you don’t know. When I said the Will Might reward, I was referring to after ten consecutive victories in the dimensional war. The reward given by the Supreme God!”
“Ten consecutive victories?” Linley frowned.
“Yes. A dimensional war is held every trillion years, and each dimensional war will have five matches. Of the eleven realms, aside from the Life Supreme Realm, all ten other realms participate in the war. On average, these ten realms can only fight once in a trillion years. The outcome of the battle ground, there are three, victory, loss, and a tie!”
Linley nodded slightly.
He had participated in a dimensional war and knew that it depended on the outcome of the battles fought on the two star river passages.
“According to the rules, anyone who is on the side of the realm they’re on. Ten consecutive dimensional wars have been won. Then the seven main gods of that realm’s side will all be rewarded by the Supreme God. All of them would be granted a share of Will Might. It’s equivalent to refining one more Lord God Grasp.” The Death Lord said in detail.
Linley couldn’t help but be shocked.
“A portion of Will Might?” This reward, it was too generous.
“Linley.” The Earth Life Sovereign smiled next to him, “You think that winning ten consecutive victories is simple?”
“Not simple.” Linley immediately responded.
He had experienced dimensional wars, a war where one had to achieve victory on two star river passages at the same time, and only that one was a victory. If one only achieved victory on one astral river passage. It was merely a tie. Last time, if it wasn’t for Linley and Magnus fighting, the Dark Plane wouldn’t have been able to achieve victory, I’m afraid.
“Dimensional wars, the probability of a tie is more than half!” The Death Lord snorted as well, “Occasionally you win one, but a trillion years later, the next one is a tie. Then everything is useless… After all, one must win ten consecutive matches in order to receive a reward. Let alone winning ten consecutive games. Winning five in a row would be unbelievable. Even if you win five games, the next one is a tie or a loss, it’s all a failure. It has to be accumulated from scratch again!”
Linley nodded slightly.
The strengths of the great realms were very different, and with the way that realm wars judged winners and losers, it was necessary to win ten games in a row. The probability could indeed be considered close to zero!
“Once in a trillion years, from the opening of the heavens until nowadays …… it’s been more than a million times.” The Death Lord lamented.
“More than …… a million times,” Linley’s heart snapped.
Once in a trillion years, then just how long had it been since the birth of this heaven and earth? Linley felt appalled. I’m afraid that the masters of infinite life were too lazy to calculate time. Because, it was too long. They also just said countless years.
“But Linley, do you know how many times ten consecutive victories have happened in countless years?” The Death Lord teased and laughed.
“That, I don’t know.” Linley couldn’t be sure.
“Once! Only once!” The Death Lord lamented, “For countless years, nine consecutive victorious lands have happened six times. But on the tenth of those six occasions, the other realms would generally combine their efforts and not allow the other side to gain a tenth victory.”
Linley also understood.
Lord Gods that wouldn’t want other Lord Gods to be rewarded with Will Might.
So even if they gained nine consecutive victories, in the tenth, the other realms would join forces.
“This mere one success is the Destiny Supreme Plane.” The Death Sovereign lamented, “Because of that one time, the seven Sovereign Gods of the Destiny One Realm were all bestowed. Each of them increased their will power by one portion. Because of this, it caused that Lord of Fate, Aoife, to surpass us in strength himself!”
Linley sighed darkly.
That Destiny Sovereign, himself, was the Great Perfection. Another additional portion of Will Might. It would be strange if it wasn’t strong!
“And this Aoife doesn’t care about worldly affairs, he’s dedicated to cultivation. He researches the principles of gifted divine abilities, and he also researches the reasons for his body’s strength ……,” the Death Sovereign lamented, “For example, this Aoife’s body’s strength is definitely ranked in the top three amongst the Lord Gods as well.”
Linley was secretly astonished.
This Destiny Lord Aoife, this one old man who didn’t hear about the world, was one of the most terrifying characters.
“Look, the two of them are about to make a move.” The Death Lord suddenly said.
Linley even looked, and the other Sovereigns all focused their attention to watch.
In the vastness of the void, the white-robed, white-haired Destiny Sovereign stood calmly in the void, eyeing his distant opponent, the —- Destruction Sovereign.
The destruction master body surface but let a person palpitating black light, this black light is pure black, devouring everything around, even those spatial turbulence are up body surface black light devouring, gradually, this black light coverage is more and more extensive, a moment, will be spread out a thousand miles range.
“Aoife is very strong. However, Utrecht has also created a masterstroke this time.” The Death Lord transmitted a voice to Linley.
“What stance?” Linley was curious.
The Death Sovereign glanced at Linley in a different way and transmitted, “Back in the day, the old ancestors of your Four Divine Beasts clan, the four of them combined their natural aptitudes with such great power that they even threatened the Sovereigns! And now, Utrecht, is the one who created a stance similar to that kind of joint talent aptitude.”
