2025-01-01 17:57:10Three days later.
Yu Chen sat up from his position. He had been sleeping for three days and that has been enough to replenish his Hp back to full. He exhales softly and stared at the seventh depth of the Cauldron. He had successfully passed this last hurdle. And ahead of him is— A Gate? Yu Chen's eyes narrowed as he stood up. Trying not to wobble since he have been in a position for three days and it gave him cramps. He slowly walked towards the portal. Yu Chen was overjoyed. Indeed, it was a gate. The hexagonal entrance was illuminated in a soft glow. "Runic magic..." "Magic of runes..." "The art of teleportation!" "Runes and teleportation.. this is it." He immediately placed his hands on the opened surface and his hand seem to have vanished. Almost like phasing through something and not being able to see where it went to. Yu Chen did not mind that he was acting childish. His other hand stuck through gate and disappeared too. He retracted his hands and it returned from wherever it had vanished to. Yu Chen quickly stuck his head, but unconsciously he was sucked in by an invisible force and he saw himself crashing down from an unbelievable height. With a startling scream, he waved his hands and lines of death energy spiralled out of his hands. He did not have any power related to flight, he could not... No wait, Necromancer's could will anything out of nothingness. It was true that Necromancer's could not fly. But ever Necromancer could will something out of nothing. Example, to stop this dangerous fall, maybe he could summon a pair of wings or a flying carpet or even an invisible land under his feet. These were a Necromancer's source of power, it was their will. Yu Chen concentrated. Each time he thought deep about weaving something out of nothing, there would always be lingering fear that stops him from accomplishing his goals. This will is not something that has to do with death energy or Miasma... It is something of the heart, something that makes imagination come alive. It was true alignment. Yu Chen took a deep breath and closed his eyes, his senses transformed from fifth to sixth. The world became absolutely tranquil and his body suddenly slowed down as if not affected by gravity. Yu Chen opened his eyes after several hours of familiarizing himself with his sixth sense and his will. A powerful wings suddenly materialized behind him and he flapped it, generating a massive torrent and skillfully plummeting down. However, the thing now is... What Yu Chen willed out consumed Death Energy or Miasma. So, no matter how adept his foundation in wills becomes, whatever is willed out must not permanently exist. It consumed his energy. When Yu Chen realized this, his face suddenly went pale. Both his Death Energy and Miasma had depleted to half. The worst part is that, It did not just consume one energy but the two and it's consumption rate was very murderous. Yu Chen only prayed that he reaches his destination before his energy runs out. Fortunately, he landed on a wooden surface and he willed the wings to vanish. Luckily it did not take more of his both energies and Yu Chen sighed in relief. But then, his pupils shrank when he realized where he had landed. His master's room. Wait, wasn't this room destroyed by her? Yu Chen immediately commanded every aura of power within him to vanish and it did. He now looked completely normal, just like an ordinary human. It was at that moment that the small wooden door creaked open and she walked in. However, she froze seeing Yu Chen standing in her room staring right back at her. "Yu— Yu... Chen?" She had never lost her composure in front of him before. It amused Yu Chen to an extent... Yu Chen had decided to let everyone seem him as someone who would never awaken so that at least, he would mark out those good people and the ones that are his enemies. Yu Chen watched how his master switched mood and suddenly, she unleashed her aura at him with the intention of crushing him. Yu Chen was surprised that the aura did not even affect him. The seven Saints of Dukkha were not even as powerful as he had expected. However, he pretended to feel overwhelmed and crashed down upon the floor. He circulated his death energy backwards and it hurt him that he spat out blood. The lady stared at Yu Chen with murder in her eyes. "How did you survive?" Yu Chen's eyes were red. "I did not enter the seven depths. The path deviated." Normally, it was common for mistakes like that to happen when opening the gates into the depths of the Cauldron so the lady did not think he lied. "Which means, you served no punishment at all..." She suddenly smiled wickedly. "It is not possible for me to open the gates into the depths again until after six months. So, how about you serve that punishment in the dungeon filled with creatures, huh?" Yu Chen pretended to be horrified, however internally his blood boiled to kill. Inheriting the Death God Legacy came with it's own penalty... It seem like Yu Chen had figured out what the [¿¿??] Signifies. It is... [Bloodlust] He would always crave to kill which was not a part of human nature. Yu Chen's blood boiled. His body itched... Although, not just for the thirst to spill blood, but to see if there would be an improvement in his stats. Yu Chen struggled to suppress the bloodlust he felt at the moment and he continued to gaze at the lady with fear in his eyes. She immediately reached out for him and Yu Chen was yanked by an unimaginable power. Although Yu Chen was just awakening the Death God Legacy, the difference in strength was not that great. If he had awakened the normal human skills, Yu Chen would have been weaker than his master. Right now, their strength were almost close to each other. But if Yu Chen improves, he would surpass her and that was just the difference. Her master had taken long to nurture and grow her powers, but Yu Chen only need to kill for improvement and the best place to do that is... the dungeon filled with creatures.

Yu Chen said possessively while blocking off the entrance to prevent him from stepping in.'Damnit, this lad would make me lose control.'Yu Chen took many deep breaths. He did not want to reveal his power, he also did not want anyone else to find out that he awakened human's number one vile energy, which is death.No normal awakened can fight against anyone who survived and cultivated death energy.

He still had a painful memory of what this killer skill had done to him... he had barely managed to escape with his life.He smiled at his master as she pulled down her veil.

33. Shattered Sky
The Saint of Darkness was wary at first. Yu Chen had seen it in his eyes. He did not want to fight, but clearly he was also stubborn. If he admits defeat, it would definitely hurt his pride and reputation. Not just that, Yu Chen would become number 2 in the rank and he did not want that to happen. Suddenly the air around shrank. The universe that was shrinking, space, void, and existence. They froze completely and then vanished.Yu Chen's hair suddenly stood on end, chills covering his entire back. The Saint of Illusion was shocked. "I thought he'd never use this ability again. The ability always leaves him incapacitated and injured which is why he doesn't use it frequently. I can't believe that the Saint of Death would make him reveal his trump card." Yu Chen meanwhile was horrified. Everything seem to disappear. The sky was replaced with red, and the ground was replaced with mirror plains. The Saint of Darkness glared at Yu Chen and said; "you should not have pushed me to this
32. Horizons
The universe seem to break inch by inch after Yu Chen had unleashed such a devastating punch. The Saint of Darkness retreated even more, realizing how monstrous Yu Chen's physical strength was. "Such abnormally insane brute strength!" The Saint of Light commented while glaring at Yu Chen rather differently. The Saint of Illusion was suddenly interested in Yu Chen. At first, they had thought that Chen was being absolutely arrogant by calling himself death, but when death energy exploded out of his body, they were horrified and withdrew. No one wants to be oppressed by the domineering Power of the death energy. Who in this universe hadn't heard of the legend of the God of death. He was a figure and an actual force to be reckoned with. His oppressive energy, death is what set him apart from other powerhouses. Many people thought that the God of death had died, while some knew that he had gone into seclusion. Either ways, everyone has different opinions on things so it wasn't
31. Introducing The Seven Saints of Dukkha
The Saint of Time could not forget that his power had been effortlessly suppressed by Yu Chen, which spoke volumes of how much of the power of time that he must have understood. The silence killed him and he could not help but question it. "How were you able to suppress my power? Time is constant and cannot be manipulated so easily." Yu Chen turned towards the Time Saint. "You were able to manipulate time, so why can't I?" Yu Chen's eye brows rose dramatically that the Time saint felt like strangling him on the spot. Because he controlled time does not make him a god!...The Time Saint had nothing more to say to him, in fact, the both of them had a grudge to settle. Yu Chen killed the Saint of Purity, while The Saint of Time instructed Moon Fairy to attack and kill him. However, at this moment neither of them could take any direct action against themselves. It was against the rules. As one of the seven saints of Dukkha, you must look out for one another. Yu Chen already knew of
30. Seven Shadows
Yu Chen immediately moved, his hands swerving in an arc and the universe suddenly cracked. Otek, seeing the gesture shifted and struck out a palm and the void shattered, however his hands turned numb the moment it collided with Yu Chen's hand. 'What terrifying strength!' He did not understand why Yu Chen is actually so powerful, to even say that he had awakened recently... meaning that, the moment he ascends, his strength would undergo a qualitative change. Otek immediately became serious and seven shadows manifested behind him, instantly Skyrocketing his strength. The void shook and trembled and layers of the sky seem to crack and overturn.From where Abison stood, his eyes widened drastically, his face very pale. "What the fuck?"These two weren't ascended, and their powers could move the heavens. These duo were freaks, they were freaks of nature. One was the seven saints of dukkha, while the other is an underworld messenger. Their powers we're both unfathomable.Abison made sure
29. Otek's Demon Face
"You cannot be wanting a spar when humanity is on the verge of invasion..." Yu Chen was nonchalant but Otek jeered."You know that I'm on humanity's side, even if I've been born in the underworld, I know that demons invasion is going to cause a big catastrophe to humanity. I am also the source of information, so when I say it'd be alright, then you have to believe me... now let's do this spar." Yu Chen raised a brow.Abison snorted. "Humanity's side my arse, you're clearly a demon." Otek laughed. "Yeah, a demon on the human side. There'd be no problem." Yu Chen smiled, "let's take your word for it then." Then, he released a bit of pressure and Otek responded with a wink, "do not go easy on me... I'm an anomaly!" Yu Chen froze. What did one mean when they say that they are an anomaly? It simply means that they fight above their level... Yu Chen immediately took correction and then, he faced Otek like he was a true enemy. A powerful pressure descended. If Otek is an anomaly, then
29. Invasion
After the crowd must have dispersed, Abison glared at Yu Chen. Suddenly he sneered. "Do you really think that I'd believe that you've spared me?"Yu Chen raised a brow. "Why not? I can't spare you?" "You might stab me in the back when I relaxes..." Yu Chen laughed and he let his guard down. "Listen, I could have killed you if I really wanted to... There is actually no need for a brawl. You've seen my strength for yourself. However, I wanted to see the level of your own strength." Abison was suddenly curious. "Did you really awaken through death?" Yu Chen did not hide anything. "Yes... I died, however I became death instead... You can call it some sort of legend or whatever, I can still remember the pain I felt while dying." Abison glared at Yu Chen some more. "Meaning that you actually took I and Miguel's idea, right! We did not mean bad..." Yu Chen's eyes suddenly turned cold. "You both clearly wanted me to die so stop acting. I followed master's idea... She did not think
27. Take a Step Back
Abison was horrified. 'Death Energy? How did he do it?' Abison suddenly looked like he had been tricked. But then, his gaze turned extremely frosty. When had Yu Chen awakened? Probably a few years, while he had nurtured his own powers for 21 years. The difference in strength should be massive. So what if he had comprehended death energy? I'll be able to defeat him. Abison was suddenly confident. "You'll be damned Chen. You tricked me." Yu Chen laughed subtly and stared at Abison. "How was it? The taste of your own medicine?" Yu Chen immediately continued. "You know what, last time you and Miguel had almost made me believe that awakening is done by killing oneself. You both made me think that death is the only way to awaken." Yu Chen strolled towards Abison and his gaze became hard."I could not awaken, so you both simply wanted me dead. You both thought of me as a burden, hahaha." Abison glared sharply at Yu Chen and he muttered with a low growl. "Cheeeennnnn!!" Yu Chen was
26. The Brawl
Yu Chen had finally discovered the source of infinity within the hollow. And now, he wished to follow this path to create his own infinite world of both chakra energy and the time mist. Immediately, there was a ripping sound and the hollow tore open. Yu Chen used that chance and escaped the hollow...He finally saw the blue sky after four years. In the hollow, it was as if Yu Chen was able to sense countless parallel universes at the same time because, the hollow was torn open at every given moment, each opening releasing the devouring energy. However when he escaped the hollow, he discovered that he was only restricted to his own universe so he saw himself back in the desert of horror where he had last saw the moon fairy...Yu Chen sighed. Extremes Must Be Reversed and The Reversed Must Be Created was a method. Yu Chen had gotten the insight, but the process would take a very long time...And time is something that Yu Chen had enough... there was need to rush the process. He had
25. Hollow Realm
Yu Chen saw himself within a strange world. He was trapped within the hollow and the hollow was protected by existence. Yu Chen wasn't afraid that he wouldn't be able to escape the hollow because every now and then, he experiences battles that opens up the hollow... that was freedom and he did not want to escape from it yet. The place seem to boil with eternal darkness. This hollow was actually made of darkness and Yu Chen relaxed, if it was death energy he wasn't sure if he would be able to resist the temptation of absorbing death energy. For the meantime, Yu Chen focused on the dangers of the hollows. Coming in contact with the darkness could erode his body and soul... Yu Chen just pressed himself against the layered existence which seem to be solid like a wall. He could see spiral phenomenon, moving endlessly through the world of nothingness. This is the hollow realm, a realm where the devouring energy is birthed. He stared at the spiral phenomenon...He noticed that the waves
