Lord Shadow

Azief himself thought it would take him a lot of times, probably even decades.

But….the encounters he had, the resolution for him tom not give up…and his dreams that want him to go higher than before…all of that he had overcome…finally he had all of it….earlier than he expected

Thirteen energies in his body.

Thirteen different types of energies that if refined to become Disks will open the Supremacy Stairway!

That was his objective and it still is.

‘I will attempt to refine the Demonic Energy!’ The moment Azief decided this course of action he did not hesitate to do it.

This is the most important energy he needs to refine right now. Because only by forming the Demonic Disk he could use Azul inheritance which is only possible with Demonic Energy.

Azief sat down cross legged and focuses his energy and his body is refining the Demonic energy inside his body, slowly awakening it.

Rumbling of energy could be heard coming out from his body

It was like he is poking the demonic energy with a stick.

Azief is about to refine his sixth disk. If he succeeds, he would put a considerable gap between him and the other Disk Formation levelers on Earth right now.

If before he could fight about a dozen Disk Formation levelers by his lonesome, after he finishes refining this Disk, with the other Disk bolstering his already powerful body and amount of energy and the inheritance of Azul legacy, Azief could now fight fifty Disk Formation levelers by himself.

Fifty Disk Formation levelers.

Each one of Disk Formation experts all possessed the power to wreak havoc and destruction akin of a small nuclear weapon.

And….right now in the world, Disk Formation leveler at the most is probably around twenty or thirty people including those that secluded themselves and become a recluse experts.

By refining this Disk….Azief truly need not fear anyone anymore on Earth. He did not even need to fear universal condemnation anymore.

Even if the World Government decided to go all out against him and summon all the heroes of the world to deal with him, they must think the damage that he could rain down upon them.

The cost of damage would make the World Government not dare pursue it. He smirked a little bit at that thought.

‘Hirate wouldn’t be that stupid’ Azief thought to himself.

Then he focused back his mind on refining the Disk.

The one he wanted to form right now is the Demonic Disk derived from the Demonic Energy. It is the energy he got from tirelessly resolving the six lifetimes of Azul.

It is a long quest. Each of the lifetimes gives him a bit of the Demonic energy.

Only by solving all six trials of Azul he manages to accumulate the required demonic energy for him to form the Disk.

By now, he already reached one hundred percent of the Demonic energy.

And it could now be refined.

If one uses the true orthodox way of forming the Disk Azief had to go to the Asura world to absorb the demonic energy and form the Disk.

But because of the sabers and the fact he passes the trials he now didn’t even have to make the journey there.

Not to mention knowing Azul identity now, Azief is also postulating a new conclusion about the type of energy he would get after refining the energy into his Disk.

He believes he would not get normal demonic energy.

After all Azul come from the Ancient Asura, and other than Meihul that have been revived they are the last two Ancient Asuras in the entire Universe.

If Vritra the High Emperor of the Asuras that resides in the Dark Universe knows about this he would not only get angry he would also be terrified to his bones.

After all, the Ancient Asura is the progenitor of the current Asura race.

Azul bloodline and his aura would cause any Asura to have an urge to kneel and obey. It is a calling of the blood.

Of course not even Vritra knew where Azul is and even he did not know there is still someone out there that possesses the Ancient Asura bloodline.

If he knew he would surely invite Azul back to his Universe. But would Azul accept such request?

He has his own Universe to govern.

And unlike the Dark Universe where it is populated by many races and many influences that rules together, the Vast Universe is his and his alone.

No one contest his sovereignty simply because no one is worthy too contesting his sovereignty.

Now, that Azief is about tor refine the Demonic Energy he got from Azul, one could not imagine such great fortune that has been given to him.

Creating a Disk has always been an introspective journey.

It rarely affects what happens in the world. But Azief existence is an anomaly even in the entire vast Universe.

Because of Loki interference and help Azief manages to walk the path of Perfection.

There is also the help of many others that he did not know like Wargod persuading the Jade Emperor to open the Cauldron of Purifying Fire for him and Alsurt teachings about runes and its applications and many other that have helped him in his journey till today.

And because of the many things that changed in Azief life that veered slight from the previous past Azief manages to pass the trials.

Azul is an ancient being powerful enough to chain the Destroyer onto his Wheel of Reincarnation.

Imagine that kind of power!

Now Azief is about to create Disk using the energy he got from Azul as the base.

One could only imagine that by doing this Azief chances of passing the Supremacy Stairway would be higher.

Azief takes a deep breath. Then he slowly exhales and inhales in a controlled motion, not too slow and not too fast.

Each movement fills him with power that is coming from inside, coming from the demonic energy, slowly travelling through all of his veins.

His Goldenskin that shines like gold making him look like a holy being but then his skin slowly turns a little bit dark.

Then another sound sounded like a cracker being stomp down by someone and something shocking was happening to Azief skin.

His skins break bit by bit like a soil being so parched and breaking and turning into dust before quickly regenerating.

Azief Eternal Physique imbues him with Goldenskin, Golden Flesh, Golden Flesh, Golden Domain, Celestial Bones, Celestial Meridian, Nine Forbidden Opening, Sovereign Presence and Violet Palace.

It is such a powerful body but that energy ravaged though it all like it was some unstoppable storms that flooded through all of its obstacles.

His Golden Flesh turns a little dark red, and red blood comes out from Azief sweats.

His Golden Domain turns bloody red, filled with killing intent. His Celestial Bones that is supposed to be so powerful that he could punch an artifact just by using his bare hand is breaking like Azief has brittle bones.

Celestials?

In Azul eyes they were nothing. Azul in his glorious life dye the Thirty Three Heavens with the bloods of Celestials!

His Celestial meridian is turning blood red, his Nine Forbidden Openings were filled with demonic energy and the Sovereign Presence that oppresses people lower level is now turning into something a bit different.

It was a Demonic Presence that would bring terror and fear to all existence in Azief presence. His Violet palace full of the vitality of life turns red.

But Azief still inhales and exhales, nothing showing on his face other than his sweat.

What he inhales is the energy of the world, what he exhales is the impurity from the World Energy.

It is to prepare his body.

Then Azief eyes turn red and then black. His irises turns red, his pupil turns black.

BOOOM!

A demonic aura came out from Azief body.

As this was happening inside his secret chamber unbeknownst to him, the entire Palace ground was shaking and the temperature cooled down.

The demonic aura was ferocious and it formed a red mist around him that is slowly spreading out from him.

The red mist is spreading out with Azief as the center and source of the red mist.

The red mist easily broke the restrictive talisman and protective barrier as its spreads through the entire Palace and its ground.

The moment Sasha got the report from her subordinate in her office not far away from the Palace she did not hesitate to order the entire personnel of the palace to evacuate.

‘Get them all out there!’ She shouted using the communication device that looks like a mobile phone.

She then ordered the Army to cordon of the palace and letting nobody leave or enter. The ten men in black robe on the other hand quickly gather in that secret chamber.

They could see that things are going bad. They fear the entire Palace could collapses on itself.

They stand on different positions in the room and then activated the restrictive talisman and the protection barrier which is already set up in the secret chamber as part of the design.

It was an incredibly fast evacuation with the teleportation Formation activated almost immediately for the Palace personnel.

And then there is also Wang Jian, Athena, and Freya guarding the three gates of the Palace grounds in case of anything that could break out.

The other Gate was left onto someone named Milos, a commander trusted heavily by Wang Jian.

Meanwhile on the chamber Azief not knowing what happened outside is concentrating in refining the energy.

Azief eye that is red and black is emitting an ancient light. The red mist around him is slowly seems to be heavier and very demonic in nature.

This red mist slowly spread out even further on the outside. But this time it did not only cover the ground anymore.

Instead it tries to reach the skies. It was like the red mist is scaling the wind to go to the sky…to question Heavens.

Azul heart is not the Killing Heart.

The Killing heart is the Asura. To kill anything that becomes their obstacle.

But…Azul is the Ancient Asura. Their heart is the Defiant Heart.

Treated like cattle by the Celestials all the Ancient Asuras at the time desire a day where they could broke free from their constraint and enslavement.

Azul broke them and his defiant heart was the firmest of his entire race.

Azul sunder the Thirty Three Heavens and slaughtered so many Celestials that a road of stars made from Celestial blood connected his world with the outside Universe.

Azief did not intend it but he too felt that feeling of defiance in his heart the moment he tries to refine that energy.

If there is a rule to this Universe, he wanted to defy it!

If there is such a thing as the records of fate he would tear it apart!

If there is such a thing as destiny he would sever it! His Defiant Heart would be to question the heavens and the Universe.

Anything that does not conform to his Heart, he would question it and he would defy it!

This thought is slowly rising inside Azief mind. At this moment all the red mist in the palace ground slowly dissipated.

But looking at it again it does not truly disappears.

Instead they swirled around and then gathering together it then shot out to the sky, like a lance piercing the Heavens!

BOOM!
