Chapter 1225 - A Bold Challenge! I

A rule that protected the weak from the strong!

It accounted for the fact that those with less Cosmos under them were weak, so it never accounted for the fact that those considered strong based on having more Cosmos could also have their lives threatened. Among the many rules Aegon established, there wasn't one that protected the stronger beings from weak ones. After all, why would such a thing exist?

"Good."

Noah's eyes flashed sharply as he delved into his Origin and looked at the [Primordial Light Authority] that was afforded to those influencing Cosmos in the Primordial Empire. When his essence sunk into it, there was a lot of information for him to delve into, but he went into the Writs of Challenges as a unique illusory film of light appeared in his mind that showed a cluster of circles.

These circles had different colors and sizes as they represented different influences and existences he could challenge, his eyes overseeing a large cluster of circles that mostly shone with the colors of red, green, and gold to represent the three houses!

His consciousness focused on the crimson colors as he saw existences that oversaw two Cosmos he could challenge, and he then went even further from this as he looked at those who had 4 Cosmos under them…until he reached those with 10 Cosmos under their influence.

'Hmm…'

His thoughts flashed wildly as with a devilish smile, he sent his will forward as for the first time, he issued a Writ of Challenge to others since he joined the Primordial Empire!

—-

Within the vast cluster of Cosmos under the House of Stormdust.

In a glimmering purple chaotic void of a Cosmos known as the Lilac Cosmos, a Daolord the size of multiple Galaxies was floating in a meditative position as a cluster of different essences wrapped around him.

The Runic Lines on his figure were abundant as within his Origin, a bit over one thousand Universes could be seen! This being was calmly cultivating and communicating with the essence around him when all of a sudden, his expression changed as he glanced upwards.

THRUM!

A flash of light ruptured before his eyes as an ancient parchment bloomed- this parchment being a Writ of Challenge that someone had issued against him and all those influencing the Cosmos under him! As the stronger one being challenged, he had a day to accept this Writ voluntarily before it was forcefully accepted when the time limit was hit.

As the Daolord surrounded by purple light read the details of the Writ, his expression changed from shock to wrath as he saw the one extending the Challenge was the newly joining Daolord Osmont that had begun causing a buzz...this being directly skipping challenging those with two or three Cosmos below them as he went to Challenge someone with 10 Cosmos below them!

Someone that had multiple other Daolords spread across these ten Cosmos to oversee them, someone who would normally command multiple powerful beings in Grand Writs of Challenges against dozens of Daolords of other Factions.

Such was the stage of the being that a single Daolord Osmont had challenged!

WAA!

Writs of Challenges were public information as the newly issued Writ was quickly noticed by those stationed to pay attention to such things.

Many eyes focused on this as word began to spread!

Daolord Osmont had thrown a Writ of Challenge against a cluster of Cosmos that held over a dozen Daolords, and it was once more directed against the House of Stormdust!

The Daolord that had personally received this Writ and was currently simmering in anger didn't have to wait long before he was contacted, and this contact came from much too high of a position.

"Accept the challenge and prepare. Come to me to receive a Primordial Heart."

RUMBLE!

The vibrant voice of none other than the Family Head of the House of Stormdust resounded in his mind as the angered expression of the Daolord turned solemn, looking at the Writ of Challenge as he sent his thoughts to accept it...and the date was set for the showdown to occur in a day!

---

Noah saw the Writ of Challenge accepted just as quickly as he had sent it, his voice reverberating around him.

"They send an assassination of Daolords and Primordial Beasts my way, and then they are this eager for another challenge?"

He had a smile as he spoke, thinking that those from the House of Stormdust...were simply too nice! Sending him loot during a Banquet, and now accepting his challenge and allowing him to quickly test out the Cosmic Dao of Loot- he truly couldn't thank them enough for such great kindness!

"What should happen is already happening. With every action you make, the others will continue to react...it is only a matter of what exactly they will do to protect their interests." Halcyon's voice echoed out as she gazed in a certain direction with a sharp light.

Noah's sharp gaze returned to this unique existence that had shared quite a bit of information with him, his knowledge on the Primordial Empire being expanded greatly as he now knew a lot about the stronger Daolords within, as well as the Family Heads that he had to worry about...and the Cosmic Treasures they held!

He wasn't the only existence to be blessed with such powerful weapons, and there were even other weapons a stage below this that were circulating in the Primordial Empire.

But even with all these treasures and resources, Noah found it laughable that these beings still found ways to turn towards the Primordial Beasts. His luminous eyes lit up Halcyon's figure as he asked.

"Finally...why would Daolords align themselves with Primordial Beasts?"

WAA!

It was a question that caused Halcyon to raise her brow as she smiled mockingly while replying.

"For the same base greed of power. For those that have burnt too many of their Cosmic and Grand Daos into Runic Dao Lines, there is no path of Nomological Edicts for them!"

…!

"The only way for them to increase their strength is if they find another path aside from these two. Unfortunately, this led them to the Primordial Beasts and the birth of Tainted Ones."

Noah still shook his head as he heard Halcyon's reply, looking at all of these existences aligning themselves with Primordial Beasts lower than fools! Even if they sought more power, why seek it from existences whose ultimate purpose is to collapse their Reality?

What power would there be for them to enjoy when their Reality was shattered as its very essence was returned to the main branch?! The motives of these existences were so illogical that Noah saw it better to turn them all into loot that could increase his progress.

"Loot…" The thoughts caused him to look forward to testing the newly designed Cosmic Dao of Loot and the effects of Increased Loot Quantity and Rarity on the over a dozen Daolords he would soon face!
