Upon learning of the Crown of Life, Andrew felt much more at ease. However, thinking about how he had promised Leisjing to kill Montero but ultimately failed to do so, Andrew felt secretly ashamed. To compensate Leisjing, Andrew gave him all five of his Commander Badge.
With these Commander Badge, Leisjing finally accumulated enough military merits to exchange for Sovereign Artifact, which pleased him greatly. He immediately returned to the Dark God Plane. It was clear that Leisjing had lost interest in this Planar War.
However, Andrew headed towards the military camp of the Light God Plane.
" Magnus, I hope you'll be sensible." Andrew, impatient for the Crown of Life, couldn't wait for the final battle of the Planar War.
At the same time, his Sovereign Divine Clone suddenly opened its eyes. With a gentle wave of its hand, a spatial portal appeared before it, and the Sovereign Divine Clone stepped into the Spatial Turbulence, heading towards the Planar Battlefield. To prevent Magnus from exiling himself, Andrew had even used his last trump card this time.
Who is that?
Andrew appeared as if teleported above the camp of the Light faction, startling the defending troops below who immediately sounded the alarm. Soon, thousands of soldiers, including several powerful Commander, surrounded Andrew.
"I'm here to see Magnus," Andrew said calmly, as if they were nothing.
Within the Light God Plane factions, the Commander recognized Andrew.
"Damn it, it's Andrew! He's Paragon expert, I can't afford to offend him." The Commander discussed amongst themselves for a moment, then immediately informed Magnus. To avoid angering Andrew, they and their men retreated two miles.
"Call out..."
A beam of white light shot out from the military camp and arrived in front of Andrew. The figure appeared, revealing a man with long silver hair. The man's skin was crystalline, and his eyes were gentle, giving people a warm and sacred feeling.
"You may all return." The newcomer was Magnus. He waved his hand behind him, and the army immediately dispersed. Magnus was the one who presided over this war in the Light God Plane.
The moment Magnus appeared, Andrew's heart pounded. He saw that Magnus was wearing Crown of Life!
However, the Crown of Life was somewhat damaged, so Magnus specially repaired it.
" Andrew, did you come to see me specifically about the ' Crown of Light '?" Magnus asked. The Crown of Light was the name he had given to the Crown of Life.
Andrew laughed and said, "It's not called ' Crown of Light,' but ' Crown of Life.' It originally belonged to me, so I'm just here to reclaim what's mine." Andrew said matter-of-factly.
Magnus wasn't angry, he just pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps, but whatever it's called, it's mine now, so you should leave."
Magnus could never relinquish the Crown of Life. Centuries ago, he obtained Crown of Life by chance and discovered its power to repair the physical body. Magnus, an ordinary human who had achieved Paragon through cultivation, inherently possessed a weak physical body; with the Crown of Life Crown of Life, his strength increased several times over. How could he possibly give up such a treasure?
" Magnus, are you really not going to reconsider? If you return the Crown of Life to me, I'll owe you a favor!" Andrew pleaded.
Magnus laughed heartily, " Andrew, you are at the Paragon Paragon, and so am I. What you can do, I can do too. What do I need your favor for?"
Andrew sighed inwardly; he had anticipated this. In fact, there was one thing he certainly hadn't considered. Normally, among those at the Paragon, regardless of personal relationships, people would give each other face. Since everyone was of similar status and strength, a complete falling out would benefit no one. If that were the case, Magnus wouldn't have spoken so harshly. But Magnus harbored jealousy towards Andrew.
In Magnus's eyes, Andrew was merely a lucky fellow. How long had it taken Magnus to reach the Paragon of his cultivation? Billions of years! And Andrew? As far as he knew, he had cultivated for less than ten thousand years, yet he was already on par with him. Magnus was indeed somewhat unable to accept this outcome.
"In that case, let's make a bet." Andrew thought for a moment, then flipped his hand, and a black jade bottle appeared.
"Here are ten thousand drops of Sovereign’s Might. I'll use it to wager the Crown of Life with you. If I lose, the Sovereign’s Might is yours; if you lose, you hand over the Crown of Life. How about it?"
Magnus was slightly startled. Ten thousand drops of Sovereign’s Might was extremely tempting even for Paragon cultivator. For example, when he agreed to let the Radiant Sovereign oversee the affairs of the Planar Battlefield, the final reward was only five hundred drops of Sovereign’s Might. However, Magnus did not agree.
The more he saw how much Andrew valued the Crown of Life, the more he wanted to make things difficult for Andrew.
"I'm busy. If you don't have anything else to do, you should leave now." He looked at Andrew with a mocking gaze.
Andrew was furious.
" Magnus, don't be stubborn and ask for trouble!"
Magnus's expression changed. "What, you want to make a move? Then bring it on!"
Their eyes met, and a fighting spirit ignited between them.
"Fine, Magnus, I'll make you regret this!" Andrew stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes cold and filled with murderous intent. He had initially been reluctant to fight Magnus, respecting his status, but the other man had actually toyed with him, which infuriated Andrew.
Magnus remained nonchalant. In his view, Andrew might be quite strong, but what could he possibly do to him?
"Boom..."
Like a rumble of thunder, the two attacked simultaneously, their fists and feet clashing, the resulting force shattering the surrounding space. After the exchange, they separated; Andrew remained calm and composed, while Magnus was forced back more than a hundred meters.
"That's some strength." Magnus shook his fist, looking somewhat annoyed.
Andrew laughed, " Magnus, you're overestimating yourself by trying to out-attack me with physical attacks."
"Hmph." Magnus looked down at the destroyed military camp. "Follow me!" He blurred into a streak of white light and headed northwest.
Andrew chuckled twice, took a step forward, and followed closely behind him, his speed perfectly matched.
"Impressive! No wonder they are Paragon experts." As soon as the two left, the Commander of the Light God Plane appeared one after another.
"Who do you think will win, Lord Magnus or Andrew?" someone asked.
"It's hard to say. Legend has it that those at the Paragon have no weaknesses, so their strength should be roughly equal. However, Andrew has the Divine Beast Bloodline, which should give him some advantage."
" Paragon... Shall we follow them and watch?" someone else suggested.
"You'd better give up. Even if you could keep up, you might lose your life. Let me tell you, during the last Planar War, when the Wind Element Paragon Baie and Andrew were fighting, Nuodelang, the Commander of the Lightning Element Divine Plane, secretly watched and was killed by Baie..."
"Uh, then let's forget about it."
Magnus is Paragon the Light element and excels at speed, while Andrew, this Divine Clone, is of the Lightning Element and his speed is no less than that of the Light element. The two were determined to compete and flew for hundreds of thousands of miles.
Magnus stopped first, looking at Andrew behind him with an uncertain expression in his eyes. He could tell that Andrew hadn't used his full strength just now.
Andrew laughed loudly, " Magnus, since you've chosen the location, I won't stand on ceremony. But let's make it clear first, if you lose, the Crown of Life is mine!"
Magnus scoffed, "Don't talk big..."
The two attacked simultaneously without warning. Magnus's weapon was a long silver whip, which flickered and caused countless light and shadow to vanish. Andrew's weapon, on the other hand, was his Godslaying Saber, which he hadn't used in a long time.
The Godslaying Saber was Andrew's weapon before he became a god, and it was also the weapon he nurtured with the most care. Over the years, Andrew had been nurturing it with the power of the three Divine Power, and had also incorporated a part of his own soul into it. After becoming Sovereign a thousand years ago, the Godslaying Saber was nurtured in the Sovereign’s Might for another thousand years. Under Andrew's powerful soul, the Godslaying Saber finally transformed into Sovereign Artifact.
He flicked it with his finger, Godslaying Saber emitted a long, crisp sound.
"It's been a long time since you've drunk fresh blood, hasn't it?" Andrew murmured. The Godslaying Saber trembled slightly, emitting a buzzing sound.
Regardless of what Andrew was doing, Magnus flicked his whip, and a series of dazzling vortexes enveloped Andrew. At the same time, the silver whip followed closely behind, swirling around in an attempt to entangle Andrew.
Andrew chuckled softly, and the Godslaying Saber suddenly slashed down; beneath its blade, space seemed to vanish.
"Snap!"
The Godslaying Saber the long whip, and all illusions vanished instantly.
" Magnus, let me show you the true power of my Divine Clone!" Andrew roared, unleashing his full power. Blade shadows instantly filled the heavens and earth. Sharp blade light sliced space into fragments, and spatial rifts continued to spread into the distance.
Magnus was utterly shocked by Andrew's attack.
"His Willpower stronger than mine?"
