Chapter 653: Clash of Laws (1/2)
Inside the Cultivation Eden…
Raven could be found sitting in a lotus position. His eyes were open yet they were dull. He stared an empty space in front of him while his mind ventured somewhere his body can't follow.
Surrounding Raven was a curtain of mystical lights that caused the space to twist and distort in more ways than one. His aura was unstable, sometimes it would appear vast and heavy while other times it would shallow and weak. Nevertheless, Raven is at a very special and sensitive state and he's not allowed to be disturb by any means or else he would lose this lead.
Raven's consciousness remained blurry, it was as if he's in the middle of falling asleep. He currently being exposed to many things but due to his drowsy state, he couldn't grasp them all properly. He can't even remember hints of it. Nevertheless, it would appear as if he truly didn't need to…
Inside Raven's body, the numerous dark golden runes earned by his physique thanks to his attunement with laws, melted down and acted as beacons, resonating with the profound sea Raven's consciousness is currently exposed to, this allowed new dark golden runes to condense within his body. The newer runes were more profound and brighter compared to the runes that melted earlier.
A strange feeling rose on Raven's chest. It was faint at first but as time went on, it became stronger and stronger until it became uncomfortable. Nevertheless, thanks to Raven's physique, he was able to endure this state without feeling really burdened.
He didn't feel any pain, in fact he truly can't feel anything at all but this doesn't mean that he could endure it for a long time. Nevertheless, Raven was functioning via instinct and he nearly achieved his goal.
Time passed some more and eventually, Raven's aura bloomed without any warning. It covered a wide area, spanning for miles and miles, his aura was almost as big as a country. Mystical phenomena's occurred within Raven's area of influence...
At first, it was like thing were breaking and then flaking away, the remnants were being carried by an invisible wind. Faint dark golden runes rose up in the air, twisting the space and time, even the very fabrics of reality itself, aside from runes there's also lotus flowers emerging from the underground, replicating the same phenomenon as the rest.
Unknowingly, Raven suddenly lifted his head, looking above him with that still and dull gaze. Despite his inactivity though, the surroundings went into a tumultuous change.
Everything within Raven's vicinity staring turning into dusts which was scattered by the wind. His aura wildly fluctuated and the phenomenon around him became even weirder. His body was releasing a dark golden glow and his aura was spiking the more time passed.
All of a sudden, the aura of Destruction exploded from his body, turning his surroundings really chaotic. Every element around him could feel a threat, things were materializing in an out of existence, Raven silhouette included.
Out of nowhere, an invisible force lifted Raven off the ground. His previously dull and empty gaze suddenly became torches radiating with dark golden light. Raven's aqua-marine hair was rising due to the intense aura he's flaring.
After all of this, Raven's area of influence turned more corporeal with him at it's center. What's weird is that it became somewhat unstable. At first it was just a dark golden glow covering a very wide area. Then it turned black and white for a few seconds before returned to dark golden. After that, it became even more unstable and kept changing from dark golden to black and white each second.
The intense fluctuation became frequent until a loud crack sound and the domain became split in two parts. The other half was dark golden and represent Raven's Destruction Laws. The other half was black and white, representing his Spacetime Laws.
Raven's situation just turned incredibly dire at this point...
In the Divine Realm where geniuses are scattered everywhere, it is no surprise that some people can wield two or more Laws. Although it is rather hard and more time consuming to cultivate two laws at the same time, it's still doable. In fact there are a lot of people who became well-known in their lives with this achievement.
That being said, even if it's doable, it doesn't mean that it's easy. Moreover, it poses a lot of risk, especially if the two Laws one gained enlightenment of mutually contradicts each other, the most common of which were Fire and Water Laws.
In Raven's case, Destruction Laws and Spacetime Laws aren't really considered as contradicting laws. The very fundamentals of each Law shouldn't really complicate one another especially if it's wielded by a genius that can exert complete control over them.
That's not really the problem here though...
The reason why Raven's current situation is precarious lies on the fact that both of Destruction Laws and his Spacetime Laws are advancing to their 3rd Concept.
His Destruction Laws are currently achieving the Pulverization Concept while his Spacetime Laws were reaching the Parallelism Concept. Both of this happening at the same time is rather problematic and risky.
Even with Raven's numerous thought process thanks to his Avatars, it was still somewhat hard to digest everything in order to pacify the raging sea that's drowning Raven down.
