This year marks the fifth year after the leadership selection in the previous period. That means soon there will be a battle between the young and old generations of two prominent families in the city of Luminae As the young master, Tiberius Julius is chosen to represent his family in the upcoming fight, even though he is considered less talented.
“Did he faint again during training?” asked an elegantly dressed elderly man, disappointed, as he saw Tiberius Odin and Tiberius Maxlin come carrying Julius who was unconscious.
“You are right, leader. This child is nothing like his father, who had above-average abilities in our family. He is too weak and fragile, easily discouraged, and finds it challenging to grasp the lessons we provide. We’ve given him various rare concoctions, but there’s been no improvement at all,” replied Tiberius Odin, also expressing disappointment.“Hmmmm... it seems this time the city leadership will be under the control of the Starfall family. Not only do we lack any talented individuals in the young generation until now, but even our elders may not be able to compete with the rapidly advancing Starfall family,” uttered Tiberius Achilles, the leader of the Tiberius family and Tiberius Julius’s grandfather.
Tiberius Achilles then entered his room, leaving his two nephews, who shared the same surname, to take his grandson to the nearby resting place. A gloomy expression adorned the old man’s face as he entered his resting chamber, contemplating the upcoming match for the city’s leadership.
“In this family, I am the only one with the ability to reach the seventh level of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. The other Tiberiuses have, at best, reached the second level. Meanwhile, our enemies have more than three individuals who have reached the ninth level of the Fatigue Spirit Realm,” lamented Tiberius Achilles in his thoughts.
The old man was truly overcome with despair. In times when their family had to face the Starfall family, rumored to have made significant progress in their martial arts, the Tiberius family experienced a drastic decline. Until now, he was the only one with a martial spirit realm at the seventh level.
Meanwhile, after Tiberius Odin and Tiberius Maxlin left Tiberius Julius’s room after taking him to the resting place, the young man began to regain consciousness. Despite the pain and aches all over his body, Tiberius Julius struggled to sit up on his bed.
“What exactly happened? How did I end up here? Why does my whole body feel so sore? Is it because of the tremendous power of those two immortal birds?” mumbled Tiberius Julius.
Attempting to sit cross-legged and muster his strength, he was surprised to feel a minimal amount of energy within him. Nevertheless, he tried to utilize that energy to heal himself. In a short time, the young man, who had the soul of the Light God Emperor trapped inside him for some unknown reason, easily cured himself.
Feeling somewhat better, Tiberius Julius got up from his bed. He reached for a nearby basin of water only to be shocked by the reflection that stared back at him—it wasn’t his face.
This was easily explained, as at that moment, the Light God was within Tiberius Julius’s body, who had actually died when he fell into the abyss.
“Have I reincarnated into this young man’s body? This means I haven’t disappeared from this universe. But why can’t I sense the power of the gods here? Has my ability vanished with my reincarnation into this young man’s body?” pondered the Light God inside Tiberius Julius.
The Light God then attempted to use the techniques he mastered to enhance cultivation within his new body. However, his attempt failed as he suddenly coughed up blood. The Light God realized that the young man’s physical strength was too weak. He didn’t even possess a physical strength that could support the original power of the Light God.
“The physical strength of this young man is too weak. If I force the use of my techniques, this body will crumble, and I will perish with it. Alright then, I will try to merge with this body and play out the journey of life as him,” thought the Light God to himself.
The Light God then entered a state of meditation, recovering his energy and unifying with his new body. Shortly afterward, all memories, thoughts, and everything belonging to Tiberius Julius instantly became a part of him. The Light God now knew that his current name was Tiberius Julius.
“It turns out this young man is under pressure from his own family because he lacks the ability to quickly learn martial arts. How can he solve everything by learning in this way? Anyone surely won’t make progress as expected if they practice like this. And it seems I am indeed in a different universe from the one I used to rule, because the cultivation levels and processes here are different from where I was before,” muttered Tiberius Julius or the Light God after studying the knowledge present in his new body.The Light God decided to live life as Tiberius Julius while trying to find out what actually happened to him after his battle against two Immortal Birds at the level of the God Emperor and the soul fusion with those two creatures. On the other hand, the Light God, through the thoughts of the young man whose body he occupied, discovered that the cultivation levels and cultivation methods in his current location differed from his previous place. The fundamental difference was that in this place, cultivators were determined by the levels of martial spirit realms within their bodies.
The realms of martial spirit cultivation itself consisted of:
- Earth Spirit Realm, basic level 1 to 9
- Earth Spirit Realm, intermediate level 1 to 9- Earth Spirit Realm, peak level 1 to 9- Heavenly Spirit Realm, level 1 to 9- Semi-Fairy Spirit Realm, level 1 to 9- Fairy Spirit Realm, level 1 to 9- Semi-God Spirit Realm, level 1 to 9- God of Earth Spirit Realm, level 1 to 9- God of Heavenly Spirit Realm, level 1 to 9- God Emperor, Level 1 to 4- Supreme God Emperor, only one levelThe Light God couldn’t gauge the level of the martial spirit realm within him, which was now merged with Tiberius Julius’s body. Perhaps, fundamentally, the martial spirit in Tiberius Julius’s body, which was the Light God, was at the God Emperor level. However, due to his weak physical condition, Tiberius Julius’s or the Light God’s abilities, currently residing at the intermediate earth level, were limited. Each realm itself consisted of nine levels.
Knock… knock… knock…The sound of Tiberius Julius’s bedroom door being knocked from outside echoed.“Who is it?” Tiberius Julius asked with a firm voice.The one knocking on the door was a servant in the Tiberius family’s house. The man was surprised to hear Tiberius Julius’s commanding tone, as it was uncommon for the young man to speak like that. Normally, he uttered words that sounded uninspired.“It seems the young master is awake. The family leader is calling for you to meet him in the meeting hall. The young master some uncles are already gathered there,” the servant conveyed to Tiberius Julius.“All right, Uncle Miller! I’ll be there shortly to meet them,” Tiberius Julius replied from inside the room.Tiberius Julius’s personal servant, Miller, furrowed his brow at his young master’s behavior. It was unusual for him to be addressed as “uncle” by the young man. Typically, the man in his forties, used coarse terms when referring to people, almost treating them like animals. But t
“Julius, forgive me, your grandfather cannot make you a great Cultivator in this city. Despite being the only genius child of the Tiberius family to have reached the ninth level of the Heavenly Realm. Maybe your father’s talent has passed on to you, but we couldn’t teach you better, so you only have abilities like this,” Tiberius Achilles whispered to his grandson.“I don’t blame you, Grandpa. Maybe I’m just not talented enough,” Tiberius Julius replied, trying to reassure his saddened grandfather.Tiberius Achilles took a deep breath. Then, he pulled something from under his clothes. It turned out to be a book, which he handed over to Tiberius Julius. The young man slowly accepted the book handed to him by his grandfather.“What is this, Grandpa?” Julius asked.“It is a family heirloom book passed down through generations in the Tiberius family. The book guides those who study it to the level of the Spiritual Realm and even to the realm of Semi-Fairies. However, no one in our family
In truth, Miller least wanted to accompany his young master for a stroll around the city where they lived. This was because fights often broke out whenever the young master left the house, even if it was just around their residential area. The young man with the full name Tiberius Julius was notorious for causing trouble in the city. Many residents and cultivators in the city did not like him. However, this time, it seemed that Miller couldn’t refuse his master’s request.After a while of getting ready, Julius emerged from his room. He then invited Uncle Miller to go out of the house and walk around the city on foot. Just a few houses into their journey, Julius was met with disdainful glares from the residents. Several people chose to go in the opposite direction rather than cross paths with Tiberius Julius.“Why do they treat me like this, Uncle Miller? Have I wronged them?” Tiberius Julius asked Miller.Miller’s face changed dramatically. He couldn’t reveal what had actually happene
Smith Gigo’s attack directly hit the shield created by the finger of Tiberius Julius’s hand. The shield formed a bright white light. The brilliance of the shield made Smith Gigo’s almost three-quarters of the deployed attack disappear instantly. The attack was like a drop of water hitting the ocean, leaving no trace.Experiencing this event, Smith Gigo was truly surprised. He did not expect that his launched attack could be blocked by Tiberius Julius. In fact, Smith Gigo had no idea what technique Tiberius Julius used. He had never seen the Tiberius family use a technique that could summon a shield in the form of that light.It wasn’t just Tiberius Julius who made Smith Gigo appear shaken. Even Smith Gigo’s assistants were intimidated by the young master of the Tiberius family. They never expected that the young master of the Tiberius family could defeat their leader. Being mostly low-level cultivators, they could gauge the power possessed by Tiberius Julius. They guessed that Tiberiu
“Excellent, Julius! I really admire your spirit, my grandson. I am confident that you will truly revive the glory of the Tiberius family. There will be no one daring to insult our family anymore. Even the royal palace would think twice before oppressing us,” the leader of the Tiberius family exclaimed to his grandson while patting his shoulder.The leader of the Tiberius family had indeed sensed a significant change in Julius since his fall into the abyss. However, he welcomed this change because his grandson’s previously unruly behavior had done a complete 180° turn. He had great expectations for his beloved grandson to restore the prestigious name of the Tiberius family. The elder even hoped that Julius would follow in his father’s footsteps as a genius of the Tiberius family, although he occasionally realized that his grandson was not a remarkable cultivator like his father.It wasn’t just the leader of the Tiberius family who appreciated the change in Tiberius Julius. Uncle Miller
“Julius, I want you to go to the Tower of the Gods Academy to study there. Only there can you develop your talents into the strongest cultivator. Here, your grandfather and uncles cannot provide much guidance for you to thrive.”Tiberius Achilles seemed visibly burdened delivering the words just now. He didn’t really want to part with his beloved grandson. However, observing the recent progress in Julius’s talents, Tiberius Achilles felt that the child deserved to receive a better cultivation education than what he could get in their current family. He and his other children agreed to send their grandson to the Tower of the Gods Academy, a renowned martial arts school in their country.“If I go, what about the competition to determine which family becomes the leader of this city? In our family, I am the only son, while the other children of my age are all daughters,” Julius replied with a question that made everyone bow their heads, including his grandfather as the leader of the Tiber
For a moment, the two opponents stared at each other. They had no idea that their attacks could be easily avoided by Julius. The attackers themselves were unaware that Julius, as the God of Light, possessed the ability to stop time. Although he could only slow it down at the moment, it was enough to evade their strikes.Julius’s actions truly astonished the two assailants. Apart from the surprise of discovering that Julius was in the second-level Earth Peak Realm, the speed at which Julius dodged their attacks defied their understanding. It was impossible for someone like Julius’s current level to have such an unseen speed, considering that both of their powers far exceeded Julius’s.“Who are you? Why attack me? If you are truly brave, don’t hide your faces. Let’s fight to the bitter end until one of us falls,” Julius challenged his enemies.It seemed that both of them paid no heed to Julius’s words. Instead, they increased their strength even further. Determined to eliminate Julius,
“You may enter directly!” the guard said.Julius looked puzzled. Unlike others who had to pass through two trial stones first, he was now directly invited to enter. After a moment of silence, Julius moved away from the guard towards the entrance.“Wait! Although he has a special recommendation letter from someone, he still needs to undergo the examination of the rough body level and the purity of the soul he possesses.”A loud shout was heard, causing Julius to reconsider stepping into the academy. A man dressed entirely in white, with white hair, emerged from inside. The face of the old man, around 60 years old, looked menacing and full of authority. Seeing the person approaching the entrance gate of the Tower of the Gods Academy, everyone immediately stood, facing the old man.“Respect to the Vice Chairman of the Tower of the Gods, may the headmaster live long!” the Tower of the Gods students shouted simultaneously.“Rise, all of you, and continue your task of selecting potential in
Boom!A powerful explosion occurred as the Demon God Emperor was about to strike Julius’s body. Suddenly, from the body of the highest God Emperor emerged an immensely powerful force. A bright white light directly struck the Demon God Emperor, causing him to be thrown back forcefully.Julius began to regain consciousness. The power emanating from his body slowly built up his awareness. Now, the youth had achieved the perfect form as the Supreme God Emperor. The Emperor of God Light.“I never expected you could cause such great damage, Demon God Emperor. After several reincarnations, I finally realized that you are the mastermind behind the chaos in the human and god realms. As the Supreme Ruler of the Gods, it is my duty to punish you for what you have done!” exclaimed the Emperor of God Light.“Hahaha, you are too late, Blaze Chen! I have already disrupted the entire order of the universe. Many gods have died, weakening the universe. I have absorbed the power of many humans through th
The sky grew darker. The universe seemed to be engulfed in a fierce storm. Two cosmic forces were locked in battle.“W-what’s happening?”Humans, spiritual beings, and other living creatures across distant lands felt fear as they witnessed the unfolding chaos. The entire universe was caught in the throes of a mighty clash between two great powers.The Demon God Emperor himself, after ordering his minions to attack the Gods aligned with the Emperor of Light, began to unleash his full power. He soared into the sky, extending his hands. Dark energy surged from within him, radiating outwards in all directions. Only places protected by arrays, and the Gods themselves, remained untouched by this darkness.Meanwhile, Hidalgo continued to focus his power to reach its peak. He did this to merge all his strength and essence with the body of the Emperor of Light. He was willing to sacrifice everything, even if it meant his soul would be destroyed and vanish from the universe forever.“It seems t
The Demon Goddess attacked the Emperor of the God of Light who was still unconscious and under the protection of the Sword of Universal Light. The first attack couldn’t break through the shield guarding the son of the Heavenly Emperor. Instead, the Demon Goddess herself was thrown back when she attacked with the Spear of Devastating Hellfire. Fortunately, the Demon Goddess wore armor that could protect her from the power of the Sword of Universal Light.The Demon Goddess soared through the air after being thrown by the Sword of Universal Light. After pausing for a moment, the Demon Goddess, who was under the control of the power of the Demon God Emperor, launched another attack. She raised the spear in her hand towards the sky. The true power of the Spear of Devastating Hellfire radiated strongly.“Haaaaa!”The Demon God Emperor shouted loudly. However, the cry came from the mouth of the Demon Goddess. Then, still under the influence of the Demon God Emperor, the Demon Goddess attacke
The universe was in great turmoil. The Emperor of the Light Gods had lost consciousness, while the Emperor of the Demon Gods rose with his maximum power. Who would have thought that he was the mastermind behind all the chaos in the universe all this time.“Demon Goddess, finish off that child!”The Emperor of the Demon Gods touched the shoulder of the Demon Goddess. Instantly, the wounds she suffered from the battle with Hidalgo healed as if by magic. The gaze of the Demon Goddess began to look terrifyingly sharp. There was deep-seated vengeance contained in that gaze towards Hidalgo.“Li Julius, our end is near today!” muttered Hidalgo as he looked towards the body of Li Julius, the Emperor of the Light Gods, who was lying there enveloped in the power of the Sword of the Universe’s Light protecting him.The Demon Goddess moved very quickly to attack Hidalgo. Her power this time increased many times over. The young man didn’t have time to evade the attack. He was immediately thrown ba
The battle between the Emperor of the light gods and the dark figure was even more intense. Although still under the power of the Emperor of the light gods, the creature was only half a level behind the strongest god. Thus, it could still evade the attacks launched by the Emperor of the light gods, although it was enough to leave it somewhat stunned.As time passed, the consciousness of the Emperor of the light gods diminished. This also caused the concentration of the Emperor of the gods to decrease. Of course, this condition also weakened his strength. Until a few moments later, the situation turned, and the black creature now stood above the wind.Hidalgo, whose attention had been divided several times towards the battle of the God Emperor, noticed the Emperor of the Light God’s worsening condition. This was the reason why Hidalgo couldn’t easily defeat the Demon Goddess. His divided concentration made his power less than maximum.“It seems like Li Julius is starting to lose consci
“Trouble!”Demon King Williams Lee looked extremely panicked witnessing the change in power displayed by the Emperor of the Light Gods. The longer the Emperor of the Light Gods displayed his power, the greater and more frightening he became. Even though he had merged souls and powers, he still couldn’t match a quarter of the power of the Emperor of the Light Gods.Demon King Williams Lee glanced towards the Palace of Darkness. He felt relieved knowing that the power accumulated by the palace was almost complete. That meant his lord would soon rise. Only his lord was the only hope to confront the Emperor of the Light Gods.Julius, the emperor of the light gods, had finished gathering his strength. He immediately dashed to attack. With all his might, Demon King Tiberius Williams Lee managed to defeat his strength to fend off the attack. However, he still couldn’t avoid disaster. The power of the Emperor of the Light Gods was truly immense, and he couldn’t overcome it.Demon King Tiberi
After agreeing to merge the soul and body of Tiberius Williams Lee and the Demon King, they immediately separated. They began to perform the fusion technique. Meanwhile, thousands of demons and Tiberius Williams Lee’s followers formed a formation to defend themselves and prevent Julius from interfering.Li Julius realized the danger of merging the two beings. Although it wouldn’t have the same strength as his own, it would still be dangerous. Moreover, Julius still couldn’t fully utilize his own power. Certainly, the merger of the two creatures’ strengths would pose a great threat to Julius.Hidalgo shared the same concern as his brother. However, he couldn’t do much due to his weakening condition. Currently, only Julius’s power could be relied upon to fight against the demons.Julius realized that the hopes of the gods and humans now rested solely on his shoulders. That was what he lamented because none of the gods or humans could match the opponent’s strength. While the power he pos
“Do not let the Emperor of the Light Gods destroy the center of darkness power gatherer!” Williams Lee shouted, reminding everyone.Leading the demons to protect the center point of darkness power within the dark palace was none other than the leader of the demons themselves. He possessed the same power level as Tiberius Williams Lee, who resided in the realm of the Emperor of the Light Gods. The leader of the demons, who had once successfully seized Nirvana from the hands of the heavenly emperor, was taken aback by Williams Lee’s condition at that moment.The demon leader saw him truly in a pitiful state, despite being in the realm of the Emperor of the Light Gods, just like himself. The demon leader immediately concluded that the Emperor of the Light Gods had succeeded in awakening his true power. This meant he would face an opponent who possessed far greater power than his own.“Demon King, the true power of the Emperor of the Light Gods is only temporary; he can only wield it for
The Emperor of the Light God struggled a bit to build a portal to connect that place to the dimension of his creation. He, who had not yet reached his full strength, found it somewhat difficult to do it all. Opening a portal that connects two realms of dimensions is indeed very difficult. Tiberius Williams Lee alone required the power of hundreds of thousands of demons plus the power of darkness to be able to do it.If the Emperor of the Light God could already use his power without limitations, surely he would do it easily. Because the Emperor of the Light God is also known as the Ruler of Space and Time. He who created many places and times in this universe. Unfortunately, he finds it very difficult to use that ability with the limitations of the power he possesses.Actually, there is another way he could open the portal to that dimensional gate if he were right at the pagoda of the Tower of the Gods academy. By using the dimensional bridge pagoda that he had used to go to Nirvana w
