1002 Transition Preparation

According to the Fate Shadow Guard analysis, Lou Cheng's mental state has not been the best since the end of the Heaven Will Battle. The latter became reclusive and rarely dealt with the sect's affairs, forcing his master to come out of retirement and take charge of things. Wang Wei even knew Lou Cheng had never used the Dream World.

His situation seemed to turn for the worse after Yan Liling's expo, sending him into a downward spiral. However, the spy sent news to Wang Wei that Lou Cheng finally showed up. Although he looked terrible, his spirit was more focused and in good shape.

'Did the Flame Emperor intervene?'

Logically speaking, no one should be able to intervene in the lower dimension. However, recent events have proven to Wang Wei that such a statement is relative to the individual. Rules can be broken or bent with the correct method and the right price.

Without hesitation, Wang Wei pointed to the Nether Hell and added a few more layers of seal.

He heard an angry roar but ignored it as he continued to analyze the situation.

'According to my analysis, the Flame Emperor is probably a peak Paragon, maybe even a Primal Paragon. Furthermore, he's the only living top powerhouse from the Eternal Ascension World, yet he never showed up and took advantage of this situation.'

Wang Wei took a moment to create a character profile for the Flame Emperor⌜€“ a calm, careful man who is extremely low-key and does not do unless he's hundred percent prepared and sure.

'With his strength, he's the perfect candidate to bear the destiny to end the parasite era. Yet, True Heavenly Dao chose me; this fact alone reveals a lot of information,' analyzed Wang Wei.

After taking everything into account, Wang Wei concluded that the Flame Emperor could be an ally, but not now. The best course of action is to stay away from Lou Cheng, observe from afar, and not intervene.

'I won't help intervene, but I also won't help him,' he concluded before sending an order back to the guard just to keep observing and nothing more.

Wang Wei then looked in the direction of the ocean, "Is it about to come to an end?" He observed for a while before closing his eyes. A few days later, in the Baishe Clan, Ao Shen had a small smile on his face.

He had just signed an alliance with the Sea Race.

Although the agreement was only in the early stages, they had not established true trust, but it was more than enough that the demon race had a new trading partner and did not have to rely only on the human race.

More importantly, he finally got what he wanted⌜€“the Merit Transitioning Method. After spending so much effort and even losing some of his source blood, he managed to temporarily raise the Star Sage of the Baishe Clan to five stars and got the answer he wanted.

'It's a shame I could not get my hands on his bloodline,' thought Ao Shen regretfully, but he was happy with the result. After receiving what he desired, Ao Shen did not waste time and opened a void tear to return to the Northern Continent.

He spent the next few hours reading all the information the Star Sage gave him, remembering and analyzing every aspect of it. Using this technique as a medium, he used his Chaos Bloodline to divine more information.

According to his calculation, there was a major problem with his conversion, and that's his Chaos Law. Chaos is one of the Five Supreme Outlaws, meaning that not everyone can wield its power.

It's one thing to wield Chaos Heaven Law; that's a lesser version that is boosted by the power of True Heavenly Dao.

However, it's an entirely different thing to control the Chaos Grand Dao Source.

'If I want to wield Chaos Grand Dao Source, the tribulation for my transition is not something I can survive.'

Ao Shen saw his death through a small power of time. As such, he knew it was virtually impossible to survive that tribulation⌜€“unless he asked the Heavenly Emperor to take action.

However, the issue is the latter had no reason to interfere especially since there might be severe consequences for doing so.

'Even if I change my Dao to Little Chaos, the situation will not be much different.'

The answer was evident to Ao Shen, but he did not want to accept it. He knew how potent the power of his bloodline was, and he did not want to abandon it so quickly.

Without any choice remaining, he closed his eyes to access his inherited memory, trying to find answers from his ancestors. As luck would have it, he found a solution⌜€“his Dao Body.

After the transition, his bloodline will be "fused" with his Dao Body. As such, the boost it gave him fell under the category of [Awakening].

'I have to keep the bloodline separate from the Dao Body.'

Such an act will make a significant change.

According to Ao Shen's analysis, his Awakening should give him a 3% Grand Dao Boost after the transition. But once he removes his bloodline from his Dao Body, the boost will drop to 2% or even 1%.

'My bloodline will fall under the category of Fleshly Body. Although I will lose the power of law, all my techniques will become Body Divine Techniques. As long my flesh is powerful, these techniques won't lose their potency, and I can continue using them. Furthermore, they can continue to increase in power.'

Ao Shen can see his future. After the transition, he will lose his versatile way of fighting, and all his techniques will be drastically weakened.

However, as long as he takes time to raise his fleshly body and reach the Infant Fiendgod Realm, he will regain everything he lost and more.

Ao Shen frowned after planning, 'I need to prepare in case something occurs to me during that time of weakness.'

The best solution to this situation is to ensure he's a competent Eternal Emperor after the transition; in other words, he must have decent battle prowess, even among Eternal Emperors.

'How to ensure my strength?'

He knew a few things could boost an Emperor's or Eternal's strength.

'A good weapon would help. However, the demon race does not have the means to refine such a top-tier weapon⌜€“unless..'

Ao Shen looked at his hands.

'If I can refine my body into my Proving Dao Weapon, it will reach the top.'

This was a great idea but not easy to execute. He needed to abandon his current body and regrow another one. He could not easily afford the resources needed for such a thing.

He had a unique snake bloodline that involved shedding the skin to reduce the cost, but that was not enough.

'No, there might be a way,' thought Ao Shen as he thought of something with a smirk.

'Another method would be to ensure my Dao Body's Awakening gives me a boost of 2%. That's easier than the weapon. I only need to

comprehend Dark Heaven Will Law before the transition.'

Such an act would definitely raise the power of his tribulation, but the risk was worth it. Ao Shen spent the next few hours pondering his Eternal Path, ensuring he would be one of the best after proving the Dao.

Suddenly, Ao Shen frowned before returning to normal. He calmly put the technique away before disappearing from his spot. He appeared above the sky in the Northern Continent.

"I've been expecting you," he said calmly.

"Name your price," said Huo Fenghuang, standing opposite him dressed in a blue phoenix robe. She was as noble as always, exuding a natural charm of elegance that most women would envy.

"Before we get to that, you must first defeat me."

"Why do something so pointless?"

"Do you think I'm the same as back then?" replied Ao Shen with a sneer. He released a terrifying dragon might, showing his intent to speak only with his fist.

"The result will be the same," replied Huo Fenghuang calmly as she also released her aura, preparing for this battle; she was never afraid of anyone, let alone someone she had once bested.

"From now on, all Immortal Tier Battles must occur in the Void Battlefield."

A powerful voice echoed between Heaven and Earth, stopping the clash of these two titans. They immediately identified the voice and looked around. Their sight immediately noticed a new dimension attached to the Myriad Emperor World.

Ao Shen and Huo Fenghuang looked at each other before deciding to check it out. They found themselves in all white space containing intense Power of Nothingness. However, this power did not affect them but was reinforcing the spatial structure of this dimension.

"Great, now I don't have to hold back," said Ao Shen as he directly turned into an enormous black dragon. Whenever he fought in the Myriad Emperor World, he had to control himself to reduce the damage he created. But now, he can all out without any restraint.

[Breath of Chaos]

An intense dark purple beam emanated from Ao Shen's mouth, heading directly to his opponent.

The power of Chaos was pushed to the limit as it tried to revert to its most natural state⌜€“the state it was at the beginning of the universe.
