Breakthrough: "Paragon"

"How could a Paragon make a move?"

At this moment, no one understood. Given a Paragon's pride, why would he participate in slaughtering Commanders, or even ordinary soldiers?

Throughout the entire Plane Battlefield, all the Netherworld's soldiers and Commanders stopped. Not a single person dared challenge a Paragon's authority.

"The Light God Realm actually invited a Paragon." Audebeu said grimly.

Leis Jing added, "Let's go. With a Paragon joining the battle, we can't possibly be a match for him."

Against a Paragon, even if everyone here joined forces, they would not be able to win unless every single one of them possessed Sovereign's Might.

"With a Paragon here, we've already done all we can," Sean said as well.

An emperor among gods—whether a Super Divine Beast or a Three-element Soul Mutation, neither could stand against one. Only someone like Linley, with a Four-element Mutation and Willpower, could contend with one.

At that moment, a Commander from the Augusta Family flew near Magnus and seemed to say something to him. Then Magnus looked toward Sean and Audebeu.

"This is bad. Run!" Audebeu's expression changed drastically.

Leis Jing froze and asked, "What's wrong?"

Sean immediately retreated, intending to explain, but in the blink of an eye, a terrifying binding force descended upon Audebeu and Sean. Leis Jing, however, was repelled by an enormous force instead.

"The Fate Rule actually has such powerful binding force too."

Sean struggled with all his strength, yet he felt as though he had fallen into a colossal swamp. Its power was far greater than the Purple Thorn Space. He was not skilled in strength to begin with, and at this moment, he felt a helplessness unlike anything he had ever known.

"Magnus, I was the one who killed that Augusta Family member. It has nothing to do with my friend. Let him go."

Audebeu was in slightly better condition than Sean. He specialized in material attacks, so his strength was naturally much greater, but before Magnus, he was merely a somewhat larger ant.

Magnus glanced at Sean and smiled. "Sean? You're the one who killed quite a few elders of the Four Divine Beasts Family? And Tashan, the Black Tortoise Lord God's envoy?"

"Yes." Sean nodded.

The powerful force around him squeezed him. It could not injure him through his Sovereign Artifact, but it still felt extremely unpleasant.

"Hahaha, interesting. I knew that Tashan too. I never expected him to die by your hand." Magnus spoke indifferently.

Sean smiled and asked, "Are you seeking revenge for him? Or does a Paragon Highgod work for the Four Divine Beasts Family too?"

"You're quite good at provoking people, but unfortunately, it's useless." Magnus smiled faintly. "If you must blame someone, blame your good brother. He killed my friend, so naturally I won't spare his friend either."

"Sean, I'm sorry," Audebeu apologized through divine sense.

Sean replied helplessly through divine sense, "You have nothing to apologize for. You weren't wrong in this matter either."

When the Augusta Family had previously hunted the few of them down, Wuman and Monroe had pursued Sean, two people had pursued Torres, while three had pursued Audebeu.

But Audebeu was the Death Sovereign's strongest envoy. He possessed two Sovereign Artifacts, and his original body was an exceptionally formidable divine beast. Yet while facing the three of them, he had still fought his way out of the encirclement and casually killed one of them. Who could have expected that person to be Magnus's friend?

That was simply too unlucky, but there was nothing to be done. It was like accidentally killing Leis Jing—except everyone in the world knew Leis Jing's identity, while who knew who a Paragon's friends were?

This was also why ordinary Commanders feared Paragons more than Sovereigns. Unless a Sovereign was offended personally or their direct descendant was killed, they generally would not interfere in matters between gods. But a Paragon could act freely for a friend's sake. They were gods too.

"Alright, time is about up. After killing you, I still have things to do." Magnus spoke with a faint smile as if he were playing a game. Then a fist-sized lotus immediately shot from between his brows and instantly entered Sean's body.

Bound by Willpower, Sean had no ability to evade. After the golden lotus entered his body, it immediately scattered into over a hundred petals that flew toward Sean's mind.

"Block them!"

Deep within his soul, Sean gathered all his soul power and frantically attacked the petals.

But it was utterly useless. Even with all his strength, he only destroyed a dozen or so. The rest slammed directly into the Soul Defense Divine Artifact around Sean's mind.

The Soul Defense Divine Artifact forged through Three-element Soul Mutation did not withstand this attack for long before it began to shatter. Countless petals entered the soul within his divine spark through the cracks.

In an instant, Sean's soul rapidly weakened. The Soul Pearl deep within his mind immediately released immense soul power, restoring his soul.

One side consumed it, while the other restored it. Sean's soul experienced unprecedented agony.

"So this is what it feels like to be close to death? And the restoration of life!"

Sean sensed the death of his soul, yet the Soul Seed's powerful soul power was saving him.

In that instant, he felt the bottleneck that had previously trapped him loosen.

"Life and death, endlessly intertwined..."

So this was the breakthrough I had been searching for. At this moment, within his soul, the Mysteries of Life and the Mysteries of Death gradually fused into one. He understood.

Boom—

A heaven-shaking force descended from above, directly sending the smiling Magnus flying. All binding force vanished at once, and Audebeu regained his freedom.

"This is? The Laws of the World have descended?"

Magnus was somewhat stunned. A breakthrough at a time like this?

"The Laws of the World have descended? Could Sean have brought a Mid God divine clone in here? How foolish would that be?"

"Yeah, wouldn't bringing a divine clone in just be offering it up to die?"

"Exactly. Once the Laws of the World are finished, he'll still die."

Quite a few Commanders and even soldiers discussed it. After the Paragon appeared, they had all given up and naturally would not rush to their deaths. Seeing Sean and Audebeu targeted by a Paragon had also shown them the Paragon's power—he had effortlessly controlled two peak Asuras.

At the spot where the Laws of the World descended, Sean was enveloped in a force. He felt something additional within his soul.

As he continued floating, no lower or Mid God divine spark emerged.

Magnus, Leis Jing, and a small number of Commanders underwent drastic changes in expression. They knew what this meant.

The Laws of the World moved quickly. Once the divine spark returned to his body, they receded. Sean opened his eyes, and in an instant, he felt that everything around him was completely different.

A terrifying sense of control made him feel that he could tear apart the surrounding space with ease.

So this was what Willpower felt like.

Even though he was not skilled in material attacks, this was still the Plane Battlefield, the plane with the most stable space.
