"This is fine."

Rog arrived at this open area and, feeling that there was enough space, stopped.

Magnus nodded, a fighting spirit flashing in his silvery-white eyes. "Good."

"Boom!"

Without warning, the two figures instantly transformed into two streaks of light, one purple and one silver!

Beyond the flowing light, space was like shredded paper, instantly splitting into huge chasms, within which colorful Spatial Turbulence clearly appeared.

The surrounding seawater transformed into towering waves, surging towards Spatial Turbulence, causing chaos and upheaval.

The seawater suddenly surged up to a thousand meters high, then plummeted, the surging waves turning into tsunamis that swept in all directions.

Even a caravan passing by thousands of miles away felt the fluctuations, demonstrating the immense power of their battle.

Looking into the distance, broken chasms appeared in the sky, the broken parts were terrifying spatial rifts, the dark and deep power seemed like a primordial beast that could devour everything, making one's heart tremble with fear.

And this is the scene when two Paragon High-God clashed!

Only Paragon can unleash the full power of another Paragon.

A moment later, the two streaks of light transformed into human figures once more.

"I didn't expect that someone with Fate Grand Perfection like you would have such a powerful physical attack."

Rog stood on the sea, holding the Voidbreaker Spear in his right hand, his eyes shining as he stared at Magnus. Now that he had reached the Paragon, he could finally have a good fight!

Magnus, clad in a long silver robe, was also filled with fighting spirit. After years of silence, he had not experienced such a thrilling battle in ages.

"Magnus, your strength is indeed well-deserved."

Rog in mid-air, nodding in agreement. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly that those Paragon were truly the chosen ones of heaven.

I just fought Magnus, and this guy used the Edicts of Fate to compete with me in material attacks, and surprisingly, I didn't lose too much of a disadvantage.

It should be noted that each of these laws has its own bias. The material attack of the Lightning Law is only slightly inferior to that of the Laws of Wind and the Edicts of Destruction, while the Edicts of Fate is mainly good at the soul, and is greatly lacking in the material aspect.

However, just now, he and Magnus fought each other in close combat with their weapons for a long time, but he did not gain a clear advantage.

That's a bit unbelievable.

"Hehe, actually it's nothing. Your Laws of Lightning also has that strange characteristic, doesn't it? Even if I'm at the Paragon, I can't be immune to that effect. If we're talking about Paragon cultivators being able to clearly injure each other, then it's probably only you Lightning Paragon who can do that." Magnus, who became famous very early.

He has fought far more than just one Paragon High-God. He also knows far more about the mysteries of the Paragon realm than Rog does.

Even when this system of rules or laws reaches its Paragon, it still holds some hidden mysteries.

This is something that many Sovereign are unaware of unless the other Paragon beings themselves explain it.

The power of the Paragon is not only due to the greater profundity of the laws when they are perfected and the enhancement of Willpower, but also because of the 'law characteristics' that automatically appear after this line of laws is perfected.

Actually, it wasn't exactly an automatic occurrence. Back when they broke through to the Paragon High-God, they had already grasped that trace of the essence of the law/rule; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to break through to the Paragon. It's just that, with the enhancement of the Willpower, this trace of the essence of the law could manifest its law characteristics more clearly.

Therefore, although all are at the Paragon, the Highgod who have reached perfection according to different rules and laws each possess the unique characteristics of their respective system of laws at the time of their perfection. Otherwise, what would be the difference between the Paragon of different systems?

Rog wasn't sure what the characteristics of the other Paragon were. But for the Lightning Paragon, the characteristic was ' Judgment,' or rather, ' Penalty.'

This characteristic allows his attacks to penetrate the enemy's defenses to a certain extent, directly affecting the target.

Therefore, thanks to this characteristic, he can, to a certain extent, directly deal piercing damage, making him relatively effective against Paragon High-God with excellent defensive capabilities, such as those of the Earth Element and Water Element.

Of course, compared to the absolute power boost brought by the Profound Mysteries of the Laws and the Willpower, these special bonuses are somewhat insignificant and will not truly affect the balance of power between Paragon. They will only make Paragon cultivators of different elements have their own strengths and weaknesses.

Like Rog at this moment, although he could directly 'injure' Magnus, the injury was almost negligible. It was virtually impossible to 'wear down' other Paragon by relying on this slight advantage.

After all, the injuries caused each time were too minor; even those at the Paragon level could recover naturally and offset those minor injuries.

However, this is enough to demonstrate the power of Lightning Paragon. This method is far from sufficient against Paragon Realm cultivators, but it is a deadly weapon against some powerful Divine Beast Commander!

"The Edicts of Fate are indeed the most bizarre rules/laws." After fighting Magnus for half a day, and with the opponent's testimony confirming this, Rog finally understood the characteristics of the Edicts of Fate after they reached their Paragon.

The Edicts of Fate are inherently unpredictable. After reaching the Paragon, whether it is a physical attack, Soul Attack, or even this movement technique, all take on the characteristics of unpredictability, making it a completely different concept from before the Paragon.

It was precisely because of this slightly 'unpredictable' characteristic that Magnus did not fall into a significant disadvantage in terms of movement. After all, as Lightning Paragon, Rog's speed and movement techniques were definitely among the best of all Paragon masters.

"The characteristics of this Edicts of Fate do indeed make the Paragon of this system of rules impeccable." Originally, speed and material aspects were considered weaknesses of cultivators of the Edicts of Fate, but the addition of the 'unpredictable' characteristic greatly compensated for them.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Rog has just reached the Paragon and his combat experience is far less extensive than Magnus's.

"No wonder, in the original story, Magnus initially dared to compete with Linley, who was disguised as a ' Earth Grand Perfection,' in close-quarters physical attacks." Earth Grand Perfection possesses the greatest strength, and its physical attacks should far surpass those of Fate Grand Perfection.

However, with the Paragon of the Edicts of Fate, thanks to the unpredictable nature of its attack characteristics, its physical attacks are not much inferior to those of the Earth Grand Perfection. If it weren't for encountering an anomaly like Linley, Magnus wouldn't have lost that battle.

Because of the unpredictable nature of the Edicts of Fate, he can imbue material attacks with bizarre characteristics. Therefore, the material attacks of Paragon High-God the Edicts of Fate can sometimes be even more difficult to defend against than Soul Attack.

Of course, sheer power is no match for a full-force Soul Attack.

After all, the Paragon of the Edicts of Fate is essentially more adept at dealing with the soul.

"We've already clashed over physical attacks, so how about we have a contest of Soul Attack?" Although Rog's Lightning Divine Clone lacked the protection of Soul Defense Sovereign Artifact, and the Ice Crystal Crown was still with the Light God Clone.

However, he is Three-Element Soul Mutator, born with a soul foundation a hundred times stronger. Even if Magnus's Soul Attack could overpower him, it would be a pipe dream to harm him!

"Alright, I've heard you might be Soul Mutator. Let me see. With your Paragon Soul Mutation, will you be injured by my strongest Soul Attack?" Magnus's long silver eyebrows fluttered in the wind. He was quite confident in his most proficient Soul Attack technique.

Of the Paragon he encountered, aside from Parhaus, the Water Element Paragon who excelled at soul defense, the others all suffered minor losses under his attack.

As fellow Paragon, he was already quite proud that he could inflict a minor loss on the other Paragon with Soul Attack.
