Wizard Immortal

Chapter 801 The Power of Death

The will of the material world began to boil, and at this moment it condensed within the Adir Empire, enveloping it in immense power.

Under the immense power of the world, Adir's body began to slowly transform.

Advancing from the sixth rank to the seventh rank is a fundamental transformation, requiring a complete metamorphosis of body and mind, transforming the original flesh and blood body into a body of laws, and completely changing one's fundamental existence.

Without a doubt, having reached this point, a mere seventh-order being is equivalent to a world in itself, having truly grasped the fundamental laws governing the world's operation and the essential power of the laws.

It is the power of these laws that forms the foundation of seventh-order existence.

In the context of this world of gods, this forms the authority in the hands of the deities.

In the world of gods, the authority wielded by the gods is something that is ultimately formed by the combination of the power of the laws that the gods comprehend and the aura of the world of gods.

Therefore, in this world of gods, every god who truly ascends to godhood will inevitably wield one or more powers.

Just like the Sun King who was promoted before, the power he wields is the sun and light, representing a fundamental and indispensable part of the world's operation.

Because it is indispensable, the power of the sun and light occupies a very large proportion in the world. This is why the power of the Sun King is so strong that it ranks among the top three among all the gods, making it one of the undisputed supreme gods.

The power that Adir has chosen at this moment is, of course, killing.

The power of killing—this is a portion of the power he inherited from the god of killing.

At that time, he was injected with a drop of blood of slaughter by the priest of the God of Slaughter, thus gaining initial mastery of the power of slaughter.

Subsequently, he defeated Dorron, the son of the God of Slaughter, and took over the rest of the God of Slaughter into his own body. He also eliminated the contingency plans left by the God of Slaughter and accepted the legacy of the God of Slaughter.

The legacy of the God of Slaughter includes the authority to kill.

In the long years that followed, Adir traveled and wandered through countless worlds using his special abilities. After countless years, he had mastered his killing power to perfection, reaching a point where there was no room for further advancement.

Without a doubt, if he wanted to, he could have ascended to the throne of the God of Slaughter countless years ago through the power of killing he wielded.

The reason he didn't do that was not only to avoid potential risks and not to be the first to attempt to break into the realm of gods, but also because he wanted to try to gain other powers.

The power of killing is extremely powerful, and like light and the sun, it represents a fundamental part of the world's operation, an indispensable existence.

Therefore, the power of the God of Slaughter is also extremely strong. In the countless years of the past, even in the most peaceful times, the God of Slaughter has represented absolute power and is one of the higher gods, second only to the supreme god.

However, the power to kill alone is not enough for Adir to possess the power to contend with the supreme god.

In Adir's view, the power to kill represents the end of life, is the foundation of the world's operation, and is an indispensable part of it.

However, despite being indispensable, this kind of authority is subject to the influence of the environment, and its fluctuations are enormous.

In a world rife with war and endless conflict, the power of the authority to kill will be fully unleashed. At that time, the God of Slaughter, who will wield the authority to kill, will likely be no less powerful than even a supreme deity like the King of the Sun.

But once the world falls into peace, and there is little killing in the world, the power of the God of Slaughter will plummet. At that time, even some ordinary gods may be able to contend with the God of Slaughter.

This fluctuation is clearly not what Adir wanted.

Therefore, in addition to the power of killing, he further expanded outwards and came to control other areas.

death!

At this very moment, under the watchful eyes of countless people, a divine domain, somewhat similar to, yet vastly different from, the God of Slaughter's Domain, began to emerge from Adir's body. This domain, along with Adir's will, gradually surged outward, slowly covering the original God of Slaughter's Domain.

Within this new realm, an aura similar to but entirely different from killing emerged, causing everyone who could sense it to change their expressions drastically.

"die!"

In the distance, above the City of the Sun, the Sun King stood silently. Sensing the aura emanating from Adir, his expression changed drastically: "He actually wields the power of death!!"

Without a doubt, the power of death is an extremely powerful power. In terms of potential and status, it is no less powerful than the power of light of the Sun King, and is one of the supreme powers at the top.

However, there is no doubt that such power is extremely difficult to wield.

First, to grasp the power of death, it is not enough to simply observe death; one must also experience it personally.

In other words, how can you grasp the essence of the power of death if you don't die a few times yourself?

Without personally experiencing the meaning of death and understanding the feelings involved, how can you truly grasp death itself?

But to put it another way, if you really die, if you truly fall into absolute death, then do you still have a life left?

When the moment of your actual death arrives, even if you truly have the power over death, what then?

Of course, in this world, there are some people who can die and come back to life, and come back to die again.

Aren't these gods before us just like that? They all perished countless years ago, but now, they've all jumped out of their coffins, lively and energetic.

However, the principles are different.

Dying once in a while is a completely different concept from dying frequently.

If you keep going up the waves, one day they'll crash and burn.

Throughout countless years, there have been deities in the material world who wielded the power of death.

However, without a doubt, over the countless years, those who held the power of death have all, without exception, sent themselves into the abyss called death.

To have the power over death means to be with death day and night, and it is not surprising that one will eventually send oneself into the abyss of death.

After all, even for gods, once they fall into a deep state of death, it is not an easy thing to come back.

One or two times is fine, but if you die too many times, you'll eventually capsize.

Therefore, to this day, no high-ranking deity who truly holds the power of death has appeared in the material world.

However, in this present era, they can still see a being who holds the power of death, and even uses the power of death as a basis to challenge the realm of gods.

This surprised them, leaving them somewhat stunned and impressed.

Regardless of their inner emotions, at this moment, all they could do was quietly observe as Adir attempted to advance, beginning his assault on the realm of gods.

Above the Adir Empire, amidst the pervasive divine aura, Adir's aura began to deepen.

A cold, deathly aura emanated from his body. At this moment, countless lives were ended, and images of the moment of impending death kept appearing on Adir's body.

As he sensed the cold and suffocating aura emanating from him, Adir remained calm, simply watching it for a moment before slowly closing his eyes.

For other beings, grasping the true essence of death is obviously extremely difficult.

But for Adir, who possesses supernatural abilities, it was relatively much simpler.

Possessing the ability to travel between worlds, Adir can create clones in different worlds, allowing those clones to grow on their own in those other worlds.

Because of the uniqueness of their abilities, each of these clones is an independent individual, and each is a completely new version of Adir himself.

Each clone is like a brand new life, the start of a brand new journey.

This is equivalent to Adir having countless lives; no matter how he dies, he will never die.

Over the course of nearly a thousand years, Adir has lost count of how many clones he has created.

These clones embarked on their own journeys in various worlds, accumulating power for Adir while also dying one after another, allowing Adir to gain a great deal of insight into death.

It could be said that, despite his current appearance as a young boy, Adir has actually died hundreds or thousands of times, more than he himself can count.

After all, although only a thousand years have passed in the material world, the flow of time in other worlds is not so fast.

In some terrifying worlds, a year might pass in the world of gods, while millions of years might pass in that world.

Over such a long period of time, Adir died time and time again, and even if the insights he accumulated were so faint, they still amounted to an extremely terrifying amount.

These accumulated experiences, now reaching this moment, have become the resources for Adir's progress and the driving force for him to go further.

A faint golden flame began to burn continuously. At this moment, Adir's body began to slowly transform, and the nature of his power began to change. The originally pure killing god domain gradually gained a characteristic called death.
