Lord Shadow

Chapter 844: Trapped in the cycle (3)

And the motes of light in the Universe is so numerous that one could only see it filled up from one horizon to another.

That is the amount of lives that Balfor had experienced

And even after all that, he could still maintain his mind. If not for the fact that the Demon King is Azief enemies, he might even admire him

Azief look calmly at Balfor.

Azief eyes seems to be filled with images of all kinds of lifeforms.

His eyes seem to be overseeing the beginingless cycles of repeated births, their mundane existence and dying again and it continues on an on

This cycle of repeated birth is perpetuated by desire, ignorance and karma.

In Azief eyes, there is six realms of existence as he saw deities, demons, humans, spirits and a realm of suffering and punishment.

Each of these lifeform is suffering and in each of these six realm, there is Azief looking over them like some kind of guardian and also a guide.

That is all reflected in his eyes.

This is different from when he uses his Avatar Law Body.

When he uses his Law Avatar body, his eyes seem to see the entirety of the Universe contained inside his eyes.

But using the Wheel, Azief eyes seems to see through all the levels of the six realms of reincarnation and overseeing it.

If it is any other beings that is weaker than the Demon King look at Azief eyes, they would be ensnared by it and trapped inside the six realms of reincarnation.

They might even freeze at the spot and cease to move until they could come out from the six realm in their minds.

Azief is also floating among the stars and his body is emanating some concepts of the Laws of Rebirth and Reincarnation.

Time around him flows differently, that one would hard to know whether time is mobbing in reverse or moving forward in an accelerated rate.

The things around him died and changes form and turns into another things and so on and so forth the process continues.

It is rebirth. And then when it ceases to exist, it exists again in another form.

Some of them enter the reincarnation and gain sentience, accumulating merit and ascend. Yet all of this life, still is inside a circle.

As Azief floats closer toward Balfor, Balfor could see a silhouette of a gigantic Wheel behind Azief back.

It is just a silhouette and it is vague but that alone fills the Demon King with wariness as he once again seals his obsession for fear that he would once again be sucked into that illusion.

Even now, he is still inside the illusion and had not yet comes out. This is a battle that no one in the real world could see.

This is the battle of will, of conviction. Azief sighed looking at Balfor and then he simply said

‘Why resist, Balfor? There is a chance for a grand path’ And then saying this, Azief suddenly turns into a gigantic figure that he alone fills half of the Universe and dwarfing the Demon King

It almost looks like the Demon king is imply a speck of dust in the vast universe when compared to the size of Azief right now

His figure then emanated golden light that shines over the dark space of the Universe.

There is no difference between Azief and a Golden Buddha depicted in the many temples in the Three Thousand Worlds

The Demon King was not impressed. But he also felt uneasy because it felt like his pressure is being oppressed by Azief golden light.

The Demon King then simply said

‘I reject the Grand Path that is not mine’

The Demon King then laughed as his body slowly swelled and then he too become a gigantic figure, filling the other half of the Universe

The power that unleashed shows his conviction and will and his killing aura materialized turning into red cloud that floats around the space under the influence of that killing aura.

He appears like some kind of primordial demons with killing aura so thick that it changes the motes of light into dark motes of light that is slowly disintegrating

When it disintegrates, it went into the red cloud and the lives inside that motes of light were distorted. Kind actions turns to evil

But the golden light is slowing the disintegration of the motes of light.

Azief was smiling, his eyes are shining golden like some kind of an all embracing deity and Balfor was scowling, with his eyes red as blood appearing extremely sinister

One side is a golden figure bathed in holy golden light and the other side is a demon covered with killing aura that swirls around each parts of its body.

It is like a battle between good and evil, holy and unholy. But none of them is making any move yet

Azief smiles gently and said to Balfor.

‘There is no yours and mine path in the Grand Path. There are many roads. Some are harder than the rest. Some are faster. In the end, it converges. If it is not your grand path, then what it is you think your grand path? Today, I would enlighten you!’

Azief shouted and then he put his hand together like a monk putting his hand together to salute the donor of the Temple.

But Azief was no monk and he did not learn from a monk. What he did seems like he is putting his hand together.

But the effect of it is not like that.

The cycles of existence that Balfor had experienced all gathers at Azief fingertips when he opens his arms before.

And then when he puts his hand together, all the cycles of existence that Balfor had experienced was crushed and a turbulent upheaval happened in Balfor mind and heart the moment that palm slammed onto each other

His path that he had seen inside the artificial Six realms was destroyed and it bear a pressure on Demon King minds.

Azief then opens up his palm and then strikes toward Balfor.

“With one strikes, driving Gods and Devils Away. Struggle with fate, kind nature must be cultivated, With One Strike, cut apart evil existence!”

He chanted these words as he strikes that palm forward toward Balfor. Those words seem to resonate within this Universe and a powerful pressure fills the Universe as the planets around them trembles and cracked.

The red clouds that was filed with killing aura all exploded into mist and dissipated into nothingness.
