Luo Sheng's eyes hardened, his sclera turning red from madness. 'Fine! If you wish to kill me, I'll bring you down along with me!'

All of his mana returned to his body and condensed at his very core. Because he was only a 4th class, he didn't have any clear connection to his soul, but he could at least sense its presence.

If his purpose was self-destruction, this was enough.

His mana condensed rapidly into a revolving core near his soul. The core expanded and compressed chaotically as it hovered on the verge of implosion.

A force containing the power of over 150,000 units of mana was on the verge of materializing, but at that moment, Damien moved.

"Accelerate."

His body glitched. Slowly, it melded into the air and faded away. Behind Luo Sheng, he rematerialized.

"Y-you…w-what…?"

Luo Sheng struggled to get the words out, but his voice no longer worked. As his eyes widened incredulously, his body dropped to the floor.

A second later, his head fell along with it, his consciousness exterminated.

With nobody to guide the mana in Luo Sheng's body, the core that almost began imploding directly dispersed. The mana had been primed, but since it wasn't activated, there was no risk of it chaotically exploding even after Luo Sheng died.

Damien breathed out a sigh and withdrew his mana, allowing the surrounding time to return to its normal flow.

Although it was short, this was the first fight where Damien properly used his Time element. He smiled knowing his efforts weren't in vain.

His comprehension was increasing by the day, and his imagination was limitless. The only thing he hadn't done was put his thoughts into reality.

'The main advantage my time element has now is that it's unknown and unexpected. Even if spatial practitioners can be seen occasionally, it isn't the same for time. Even people like Tian Yang who have time affinities usually use it supportively. It's simply too hard to comprehend.'

The only reason Damien was able to comprehend time so rapidly, aside from his natural talent, was due to the fact that he experienced those 100,000 years that Alaric showed him.

After 10 years spent in real-time, the speed at which events moved exponentially increased every few decades. But even then, Damien was able to perfectly understand what took place during that time.

This kind of impossible miracle could only be accomplished by a Divinity, and even including the Primordial Undying Fruit and the Sanctuary, these 100,000 years were most likely Damien's biggest boon from his time in the Primordial Undying Realm.

With this kind of once-in-a-lifetime experience, how could Damien's perception of time be low? If he couldn't achieve outstanding accomplishments in his usage of time, he'd be disappointing his own potential.

Regardless, Damien was aware of this point and thus put his utmost into comprehending time and learning how to apply it. Although this comprehension couldn't compare to his spatial comprehension at all, it was still substantial.

Damien turned his attention to the surroundings. The ongoing battle was fierce, but the Eclipsing Shadow Sect never had a chance from the beginning.

The Shadow Garden's forces were simply too fierce, and the Eclipsing Shadow Sect had already faced massive losses in fleeing to Niflheim.

The early 4th class existences that Damien trapped earlier had already been killed by him. Along with them, plenty of the Eclipsing Shadow Sect's forces were turned to ash as collateral in Damien and Luo Sheng's collision. As for the leftovers, they were being cleaned up by the few disciples that were brought along. Now, the only important battle was…

BOOM!

A heaven-shaking explosion rang out in the sky. Half the world was painted red, while the other half was pitch black.

Damien couldn't hide his awe as he watched the scene. This level of power was far beyond his current capabilities. Perhaps he could barely match it using the Cloud Plane's World Force, but even then he'd be hard-pressed.

As he watched, Damien noticed that the attacks these powerhouses used weren't flashy at all. Whether it be the Eclipsing Shadow Lord or Elder Trinity from Shadow Garden, their moves were somewhat crude and lacking flair.

But this was only to the average observer. To someone like Damien who'd glimpsed upon laws and received a Partial Awakening, the scene in the sky was an eye-opener.

Each attack, no, each movement that these two powerhouses made was infused with the power of laws. At their level, rather than borrowing the power of laws, they were embodying it.

"Amazing…" Damien couldn't help but mutter. He never thought that it would be at this stage in his life when he first witnessed a fight between powerhouses that truly amazed him.

Sure, he'd seen plenty of harrowing battles while he lived Alaric's 100,000 years, but that wasn't the same. No matter how real the experience was, it would never be the same as witnessing something with his own eyes.

Besides, these flashes of laws couldn't be seen through a projection. Alaric could only show Damien laws that he personally had an understanding of.

Fire laws on one side and Darkness laws on the other, these two forces that opposed each other like yin and yang decorated the sky as the experts who wielded them fought. The impact of their clash made it feel like the world was going to explode.

And that wasn't much of an exaggeration. With the fierceness of the clash ever-increasing, the environment was no longer able to stand the rampant mana. Despite the fact that the two were battling tens or even hundreds of kilometers in the air, the shockwaves still blasted apart the earth like it was paper.

Large craters formed every second. The ground rumbled and quaked so much that it directly killed some weaker combatants.

This mayhem was taking place so far away, so what was it like at the center of that collision? Even though the two experts weren't using flashy moves, the laws imbued in their existences alone caused such intense grandeur.

So then…what would happen if these two fought with techniques?

Perhaps they were aware of how apocalyptic that scene would be, and that was why they chose to fight in such a way. After all, if they alerted or disturbed a Demigod, both of them would die.

Regardless, just because they weren't fighting at full strength didn't mean they weren't fighting a battle of life and death. The two experts were covered in wounds caused by the other party.

Whether it be the flames ever burning on the Eclipsing Shadow Lord's skin or the darkness ever-corroding Elder Trinity's body, the wounds weren't light at all.

'This battle will end soon.' Damien thought to himself as he looked at them. Even if they looked even, Damien could see who had the advantage.

The Eclipsing Shadow Lord gave up his personal achievements and used the Nox's resources, slowly converting his mana into their kind. As for Elder Trinity, she spent thousands of years specifically cultivating a special power created to counter the Nox.

Even if their strength and comprehensive ability were similar, this single difference was enough to tip the scale.

As if to prove Damien right, only half an hour later, Elder Trinity suddenly stabbed her arm out. The Eclipsing Shadow Lord moved to block, but his movements had become far too slow after Elder Trinity's mana invaded his body.

Elder Trinity's hand directly pierced through the Eclipsing Shadow Lord's mana barriers and entered his chest. Grabbing his heart tightly, she directly crushed it without hesitation.

Just like that, the Eclipsing Shadow Lord's body went limp, hanging off Elder Trinity's arm like a rag doll.
