Wizard Immortal

Chapter 852 Weakness is Original Sin

The power of the origin begins to resonate.

As the First Demon and the King of the Earth Demons officially met, the primal power within them began to resonate, and they started to react to each other.

A boundless power began to flicker, turning the world upside down, a scene of utter destruction flashing before our eyes, both beautiful and terrifying.

Any power or scenery pales in comparison at this moment.

In the instant the two figures faced each other, the entire space of the abyss trembled inch by inch, and everything collapsed at the most basic microscopic level.

Even time seemed to freeze, and everything lost its meaning at this moment.

Everything in the world can be real or fake; its existence or non-existence lies entirely between those two figures.

Within the entire world, only those two figures remained real, standing quietly in that corner, gazing at each other in that place.

They looked at each other, their auras pulsating, and unconsciously, a faint glow shimmered around them.

A similar yet completely different primal aura flickered and lit up at this moment.

"That is."

Sensing the light emanating from the two figures ahead, the numerous Earth Demon Kings observing from the side were stunned, somewhat at a loss for what to do.

They sensed the abyss emanating from the two of them.

That was the primordial aura of the abyss, now manifesting in two different people.

However, despite both belonging to the Abyss, the auras emanating from the two were quite different, with extremely subtle differences.

The difference is so small that an average person probably wouldn't even notice it.

But for demons born from the abyss, that difference is immense.

It was earth-shattering, drastically different.

An arrow shoots out of nothingness; even the smallest difference in angle at the beginning will eventually become a much larger difference.

And at this moment, the primal aura emanating from the two of them was just like that.

Both of them possess the origin of the abyss world, but because their paths and the power of the era they inherited are different, the original auras they ultimately developed are completely different.

Even though it hasn't reached its final stage yet, surprise has already formed, creating an extremely large gap.

This represents the opposition between the past and the future, signifying two paths for the future of the Abyss world.

The original demon, Horauddi, was born in the very beginning of the Abyss, and he embodied the innate sins of the Abyss.

This is the authority bestowed upon us by the world of gods; it is both sin and power.

As for the source of the Earth Demon King, it was something he had fought for himself, and it contained a vitality and the desire of the abyss world.

That was the life instinct to become better, which eventually transformed into real and tangible power, entrusted to the King of the Earth Demons, and became that essence.

This represents the hope for the abyss world to reverse and become a normal world, and it is also a brand new path.

These two entities represent two paths for the future.

At this very moment, they also represent the future of the Abyss world.

On this day, one of the two will inevitably become the ruler of the abyss world, and a victor will be determined.

The outcome of their battle will determine the future path of the Abyss World.

If the initial demons prevail, the Abyss will remain as it is, continuing to fulfill its innate mission as an indispensable part of the world of gods, bearing all sin and evil.

If the Demon King wins, the Abyss World will undergo an unprecedented transformation.

Past sins will be washed away, and a new path will open for the world of the abyss.

From now on, the Abyss will no longer exist as the evil of the world of gods, but will truly possess itself, with the power to improve and move forward.

To some extent, this means breaking free from fate.

Which path the abyss will ultimately take depends on the fate of those two beings before us.

Standing in all directions, at this moment, many demon kings stood quietly, observing the two majestic beings before them with solemn expressions, not daring to utter a sound to disturb them.

"An unknown existence."

The God of Destruction raised his head, a smile appearing on his face, which resembled that of an ordinary young man. He gazed at Adir in the distance and said, "How about we just watch quietly until the two of them have decided their victory?"

He gazed at Adir in the distance, his deep black eyes reflecting the same color: "Perfect, I'm also very interested in your background."

"Not bad at all."

Looking at the God of Destruction, Adir remained calm. With a flicker, he disappeared from his original spot and returned to where he had been.

He vanished with the God of Destruction and arrived in the void, where he stood silently watching the battle unfold.

Time slowly passed.

The abyss world began to tremble and change slowly, and endless light flickered throughout the entire world.

One by one, the laws that form the foundation of the abyss world spontaneously manifested and emerged.

Within the world, numerous changes are taking place, and countless forces of creation are emerging.

Beneath the feet of the original demon, the endless abyss sea, which was immense even from the perspective of a seventh-order being, began to tremble slowly.

Endless negative emotions surged, and beams of light flickered.

Within that boundless abyss, countless transparent souls emerged, each carrying an ancient and profound aura.

Those were former demons.

Within the deepest abyss, countless demon souls from ancient times to the present lie dormant.

Any demon born from the Abyss and dying within it will return to the Abyss to slumber after death, awaiting its return after endless time.

At this moment when a major change is about to occur in the Abyss World, they emerge from the Abyss Sea, shedding all the glory and emotional influences of their past lives, and now, as beings of the Abyss, they witness the clash between these two great beings.

"A soul that has slumbered for countless years."

Standing on the abyss, gazing at the boundless, endless sea of ​​souls that even with his power he could not see the end, the First Demon sighed and his gaze gradually settled on the Earth Demon King.

"You're very good."

He spoke softly, letting out a sigh of admiration: "To allow the abyss to break free from its old trajectory and blossom with new life—I've thought about this before, and I've even put it into action."

"But in the end, I still failed. Not only did my comrades die, but all my achievements were covered up, and I myself was sealed under this abyss sea, silent for countless years."

He spoke softly, his hoarse voice echoing throughout the entire abyss world.

From the demon's initial words, it can be inferred that he once considered changing the situation in the abyss, wanting to reverse it and lead it onto a new path.

However, he ultimately failed. Not only did all his achievements vanish, but he himself was also suppressed in the abyss, only to be resurrected now.

If the wizarding world hadn't launched a massive invasion, and the Abyss Consciousness hadn't been corrupted and released him, he probably would have had to wait an unknown number of years before he could reappear.

Of course, although he failed back then, that doesn't mean anything.

As the first demon born from the abyss, his power was indeed immense, far surpassing that of the former Earth Demon King.

But because of this, it is almost impossible for him to change the abyss.

Everything about him originated from the abyss, and he was inherently bound by the power of the abyss.

Changing the abyss was especially difficult for him; it was almost an impossible task.

His deep entanglement with the abyss was both his fortune and his tragedy.

Being suppressed by the consciousness of the abyss was his own chosen destiny.

"You are very strong."

Standing in the distance, the Earth Demon King appeared very calm, a smile appearing on his handsome, somewhat eerie face as he quietly gazed at the First Demon: "I admit, my current power is no match for yours."

"You can stop all of this whenever you want."

"But I won't do that."

Before the King of the Earth Demons could finish speaking, the First Demon slowly opened his mouth, looking at the King of the Earth Demons and saying, "I once personally tried to change the Abyss, wanting to initiate a revolution in the Abyss."

"Now it's your turn, the younger generation. How could I possibly become an obstacle or do something against my own will?"

He spoke slowly, looking at the Demon King and saying softly, "However, it is impossible for you to pass through here."

"What do you want?"

The Demon King remained calm, unsurprised, and said nothing more, only asking the question.

"As a change agent, I admire and appreciate your ideas and abilities."

The demon stood atop the vast abyss, and before countless other demons, uttered these words: "But as the future ruler of the abyss, your power is insufficient."

Weakness is the original sin.

As beings born from the abyss, the original demon understood this path better than anyone else.

Ultimately, all the helplessness in this world stems from a lack of power.

As an ancient being who wielded the power of the abyss, why did the original demon's attempt at revolution fail?

It was not because of his beliefs or his wisdom, but precisely because he was born in the abyss, and his power was of the same origin as the abyss, inseparable from it, that he was easily suppressed by the consciousness of the abyss.

If he had the power to suppress the consciousness of the abyss, then his revolution back then would not have failed.

Similarly, if the Demon King before him truly possessed the power to suppress everything, then he wouldn't need to waste words with the original demon; he could simply suppress him directly.

Why or how?

It's not that we lack strength.

"As an individual, your strength is outstanding and powerful, even if you were to take the entire history of the world at large, you would still be considered top-notch."

Gazing at the distant Earth Demon King, the First Demon spoke softly.

"But as the future ruler of the Abyss World, your power is too weak."

Is the power of the Earth Demon King weak?

Of course it's not weak.

Over thousands of years, during his reign over the Demon World, the Demon King continuously invaded other worlds, plundering their power to replenish the Demon World. As time has passed, the Demon World is now vastly different from what it once was.

The power of the Earth Demon King, driven by the Earth Demon World, has also advanced further, reaching an even more powerful level.

The current Earth Demon King has already approached the peak of the seventh rank, and is only slightly weaker than Adir's true form.

With this level of strength, it can hardly be considered weak.

Even across all the myriad realms and countless vast seas, the power of the Earth Demon King is among the top, placing him among those who stand at the pinnacle.

But then again...

The so-called strength or weakness has never been absolute, but rather relative.

The strength of the Earth Demon King is certainly not weak if compared to other places.

However, compared to the original demon before them, they seemed weak.

After all, the first demon before them had already reached the eighth rank, which was the highest level of kingship even in the wizarding world.

Even during the most prosperous period of the wizarding world, there were very few beings in the wizarding world who could compare with the first demon before them.

Compared to such beings, the King of the Earth Demons naturally appears weak.

The same was true in the eyes of the original demon.

As the future ruler of the abyss, one's own wisdom and path are extremely important, but one's own strength is equally important.

Without sufficient strength, one might not even be able to guarantee one's own safety, let alone change the entire abyss.

So he slowly reached out his hand.

Before countless demons, he unleashed his power completely, instantly communicating with the entire abyss world through his authority.

A strange change began to occur; throughout the entire abyss world, there seemed to be some kind of aura gradually reverberating.

Sensing this change, the Earth Demon King's expression shifted, and he sensed something.

At this moment, through the power of the Earth Demon he possessed, he keenly sensed that a change was taking place in the Abyss World.

It seems that some hidden mechanism has been triggered and is now in operation.

Then, he raised his head and looked ahead.

Ahead, in front of the original demon, a huge black gate had slowly opened at some unknown time.

The black gate was extremely deep, looking like a black hole that seemed to suck everything in.

Within it, an endless depth emerges.

Emotions, power, light, and all other concepts are insignificant in the face of this black hole; they are all swallowed up without causing the slightest ripple.

This is an endless abyss, and also a unique mechanism hidden within it.

Gazing at the black hole that appeared before the black gate, the First Demon's face showed a look of nostalgia. Then, he raised his head and looked at the Earth Demon King in front of him: "The origin of the Abyss World, and also the birthplace of us."

"By stepping into it and gaining the recognition of this place, you will become the original demon and gain power equal to ours."
