Chapter 262 - MIGHT 02 (1/2)
Expressionless as ever. If there was one thing he did not act when he met people it was his expressionless face.
He is not as expressive as other people in showing his emotion.
Out of the six lives he already went through four of it. Each life has some form of regret that Azul had experienced.
And he now knows the name of the trials when he met Azul again in the third trials. The trials he had not yet cleared is the Blissful State trial and the Desire trial
The trials he had cleared are the Struggling Realm where he got the Heaven Sundering Finger in his index finger.
His index finger now contains the power to slash intangible concept around him and cause the energy around him to be in chaos, in imbalance and mess up the order.
It could disrupt energy, and even at certain situations cut Time, Destiny and Cause and Effect. It was truly a powerful ability he got from the saber after refining it.
Azief also have passed the Mortal Trial where he got the Life Giving Finger. With his Life Giving Finger he could absorb the life energy of the world.
He could take the life essence of the world and he could also use the life essence of the world to heal lifeless thing.
He could heal mountains, area and even continent.
And he even uses it to heal himself ridding himself of any impurities.
If not for his Perfection Physique so hard to level up, he was sure that using that finger could improve his body constitution.
In the Lower Form Trial he got the Divine Slaying finger. Remembering the experience, Azief always had a bitter smile.
He was reincarnated as an animal in that trials hence the name Lower Form Trials. By now he could guess what the trial is all about.
It is the Six Path of Reincarnation trials. He was reminded of the Temple he saw in the Three Thousand World with Will.
In that world he reincarnated to become a carp. A hundred years of accumulations he jumps out from the Dragon Gate.
And he transforms to become a Dragon.
In that life Azief was mindless in the beginning, only know how to satisfy his desire, burning anything that he did not like, eating anything that he fancies, inflicting pain and suffering.
Years passes him by in that world and then even if he did everything he wanted, there is always some emptiness in his heart, a void that could never be filled, a hunger that could never be satiated and he yearns more and more to learn the truth, to learn why he was born and for what purpose.
He then learns that everything in life has order and the opposite of it is the chaos.
He took thousands of years to grow as a Dragon, to understand that everything that you do will one day be repaid.
It could be considered Karma, a retribution for one deed, but it could also be considered the price you have to pay no matter whether it is good or bad.
Azief who was a dragon at that time slowly understand this, and he began performing benevolent acts without selfishness in that world, accumulating Merits, punishing evil and rewarding good.
In a hundred year, he was regarded as a Holy Dragon and then he found the saber once again.
This time he found the Divine Slaying Saber around the very lake he jumps out to become a Dragon.
With that saber, he guarded his world for thousands of years when there is a change.
There were a race of Celestials and Demonic Creatures that started waging war through the vast expanse of the Universe and it reached his world.
As a Divine Dragon that protected his world Azief at the time still did not know who he was, he had no memory of him ever being Azief.
He was always a Dragon and so he enters that war to protect his world.
Gods with golden haloes and mystical weapons that could cleave stars and bring about the destruction of planets fought with Demonic Creatures that brings with them killing intent that brought down the Heavens and bring chaotic winds that snuff out all life.
The champion of each race fought on a Great War that caused damage to the entire Universe while the race of Gods and the races of those Demonic Creatures supported from behind, propping the Heavens and raises up the Hells.
Azief also fought in that war and killing many Gods and Demons.
He saw the tragic death of his people, of his race he protected, and saw karma envelops the War, envelops the race of Gods and Demons.
The Karma was sowed and he knows it was his task to reap the Karma. It was then at the edge of life and death, he finally remembers who he is and what he is.
He saw for a moment the Wheel of Reincarnation and Rebirth being hold by someone hand, the hand was so big it towered above all Universes, a gigantic being that seems to be the overlord that oversee death and life, of rebirth and reincarnation.
Azief then at the end knows he had to reap the Karma to bring back balance and uses all of his life force to unleash a saber slash that destroyed everything.
The Celestial War ended, killing the Gods and decimating the Demons, destroying any Divine thing that is in its range of attack.
In the end of his life, as the last vestiges of his soul is about to dissipate, as his entire body is breaking down and about to be ashes and dust among the starry skies, he shed his dragon skin and ascend to the Heavens and was enlightened.
Since that day his Divine Slaying Saber no longer glows with power but his pinky finger possess the power of the Divine Slaying Saber.
He called this finger the Divine Slaying Finger.
With this finger he could kill anything that is Divine, weakening them, and could inflict a fatal attack that would dissipate their godly or demonic essence and souls.
The other saber he refines is the Star Shattering Saber. And by refining that saber he entered the Hell trial
In it he was a wandering soul who got a solid body after devouring all the soul in one region of that world.
He suffers intense suffering all of his life and that suffering molded him. This was Karma. Karma he sowed by devouring all of that souls.
It is the Price he had to paid for denying other souls the path toward reincarnation.
