Chapter 1871  Dao

With 10 hours remaining before the gate to the last layer would open, Emery took the opportunity to delve deeper into his current situation. The recent breakthrough to dual half-moon magus status had undeniably boosted the power within his nature core, but it had also triggered an unexpected reaction in his primal core.

A surplus of light energy now resided within him, creating a disconcerting interference when he attempted to channel Khaos power from his primal core into his body. This issue was suprising one for Emery, as he hadn't encountered such a problem in quite some time. Fortunately, his years of rigorous training had equipped him with the skills needed to address this issue.

Emery knew that he couldn't afford to let this imbalance persist, especially with the challenges awaiting him in the last layer of the celestial ruins. He decided to focus his efforts on restoring harmony between his two cores and ensuring that his newfound power wouldn't hinder him during the final phase of the expedition.

Emery decided to devote some time to training within the confines of the Khaos gate. He engaged in a rigorous practice of his [Dao Divine Technique], aiming to acclimate himself to the delicate balance required to harmonize the opposing energies within his cores. This period of training also provided him with the opportunity to revisit a technique he hadn't been able to perform since his souls had separated – the formidable [36 Dao Divine Sword Technique].

As Emery practiced his sword technique, his dedication drew the attention of Chuctutlu, the Khaos guardian. Chuctutlu was a being that transcended two laws, with darkness as the dominant law and nature as a secondary aspect. All of his nature-related abilities were tinged with an essence of death and destruction, making Emery's attempts to balance the exact opposite elements within himself quite an intriguing spectacle to the guardian.

<Balancing the two powers, are you now? Quite ambitious,>

Chuctutlu remarked with a sense of amusement, observing Emery's efforts with keen interest.

Emery's rigorous training within the Khaos gate yielded notable results. He honed his ability to control the flow and quantity of Khaos energy he wished to draw upon – whether it originated from within his primal core or was borrowed from the vast expanse of the Khaos space itself.

To intensify his training, Emery made the decision to absorb more light shards, thereby strengthening his light energy. In addition, he consumed the souls of more dark elves to help balance these opposing forces within him.

As Emery continued his training, Chuctutlu, the Khaos guardian, couldn't help but express his admiration <You are one crazy kid… I like it,> With each passing moment, Emery's soul force steadily increased, and his mastery over both the powers of light and darkness grew more pronounced.

Emery faced a stark reality in his pursuit of greater power. It wasn't merely his attainment of the half-moon status that posed a challenge, but also the vast accumulation of his law comprehension that made further improvement of his soul force increasingly difficult. Despite absorbing ten shards and consuming the souls of 80 dark elf magus, he found himself reaching a plateau in his soul force growth.

However, as he continued to practice his swordsmanship, something remarkable happened. Emery entered a new realm of power. With every strike, thrust, or slash of his sword, he felt an overwhelming surge of energy. His relentless dedication to perfecting his swordsmanship paid off. He combined his newfound comprehension with the wealth of experience he had gained from his many battles. His training with Master Xion, the guidance provided by Senior Combat Magus Izta, and the teachings of sword master Atika all flashback to him.

With every passing second, his sword movements became increasingly refined. No longer were his swords mere conduits for elemental power; they now bore the profound weight of both light and darkness, representing the opposing powers of law.

After years of relentless training, Emery had finally reached a point where he could seamlessly integrate his sword techniques into his sixth law. He wielded the dark [Savage Blade] on one arm and the white [Gentle Sword] on the other, the embodiment of his mastery over both light and darkness. As he gazed upon the two swords in his hands, a subtle smile graced his lips.

<Very good, kid. I'm impressed> remarked the Khaos guardian.

When the ten hours had elapsed, Emery emerged from his Khaos gate, only to be met with yet another surprising development. The once-large group of 80 had expanded even further.

Emery's eyes fell upon a few familiar faces amidst the growing group. Zetto, who belonged to the lightning team, and Abrafo from the Earth team were present, along with their respective leaders. Among them, he spotted a particularly friendly face.

"Atlas!" The half-machine magus, Atlas, had joined forces along with the fire team. A total of 20 magus from the last 30 had successfully made it into the sixth layer.

The arrival of the Cross faction Magus and Arkaland Magus brought another 60 members to their growing coalition, further expanding their numbers.

As the various team leaders introduced the members of their group, Jai couldn't help but comment, "It looks like we're going to be the dominant force in the upcoming battles, doesn't it?"

However, Eeshoo had more surprising news to share. "This isn't all,"

The group was taken aback as Jinkan stepped forward, introducing an additional 40 magus. What made this recruitment distinct was that all of them were rogue magus she had cunningly recruited from the camp. Unlike her stepbrother, who had been recruiting magus from the beginning, Jinkan had used her wealth strategically to enlist those who had proven they could actually reach the final layer of the expedition.

With a total of 200 magus members, their coalition had now become the largest human group poised to enter the seventh layer of the celestial ruins.

"Alright, let's go!"
