Chapter 1237 Power
It was incredibly rare for a single phenomenon to affect the entire universe. Although there were many who could cause such a thing if they consciously tried, none of them were stupid enough to try. Even a Dao Lord could not tolerate the attention of the entire universe. Or at least the realms which contained humanoid beings, which was still a pretty big portion of it.
That is why when exactly such a thing happened, many could not help but feel extremely curious. Many immortals, and even Dao Lords, of various races tried to peer into the secret of the figure.
Yet whether they used divinity, or looked into the laws, or touched upon the Dao, all of them gave them no feedback. It was as if a more powerful, more mysterious force had shrouded the truth.
More than the actual figure itself, the inability to peer into its secrets aroused great attention and alarm. Hearts were stirred, temptations were stimulated, morales were affected. The universe, in that moment, was intrigued.
Then the eyes opened. They were the only part of the figure not obscured, so many were interested to see what they would reveal. Indeed, as per expectation, the eyes were far from ordinary.
The left eye was similar to the eye of an ordinary immortal, in that it was an Eye of Law. Basically, it was an eye that could see laws. Yet somehow, this left eye had achieved a deeper, more mystical state where it could not only perceive laws, but thoroughly study and understand them.
In that left eye, all the observers saw their own lives reflected – but not as they remembered it, but rather through the changes in laws they had experienced in their own lives, whether they were aware of it or not. Instantly, a good deal of those observing fell into a state of epiphany.
Then there was the right eye. Compared to the left, that only observed the universe, the right eye exerted control over the universe. Just looking at the eye left many in a trance. They saw arrays, endless, profound arrays, joined together with formations, talismans, and even Glyphs. It was the most complex conjunction of countless independent professions, brought together into one cohesive amalgam, all for the purpose of exerting control over the universe.
One eye saw the universe as it was, and understood it, while the other turned the universe into the image that the wielder wanted to see.
Together, they promised unparalleled power. Yet they were only the eyes. Those who were watching could not even begin to fathom what other abilities the person projected in front of the universe possessed. They could not begin to comprehend what his purpose was.
The phenomenon began to fade, as if all that figure wanted to do was observe the universe. There were no other repercussions of the figure in any realm, save for the Midnight realm.
Lotus was bonded with Lex, so as Lex got stronger, it also gained immense benefits.
A quake jolted the entire Midnight realm for a few long minutes before subsiding. No one could understand what had happened, but since everyone was safe, they did not put too much thought into it.
Only Lex would discover the difference when he paid attention to it. Menara, which Lotus had been trying to absorb for so long, had already become a part of it, and now the rest of the realm began merging with him as well, though it would take a long time and a lot of energy.
Back in the Trial of Eternity, the purple dragon was pushed deeper into the ground as Lex’s Domination suddenly became stronger. The dragon looked up at Lex with fear and confusion in his eyes.
It could tell that the tribulation had ended, and that he had become an immortal. So why were there still lightning bolts striking him?
Lex himself, meanwhile, was woefully ignorant of the fact that he was undergoing another tribulation. Part of it was because he was so strong, the lightning did not affect him nearly as much as it would affect others. Another part of it was because he was still getting used to his tenet, and beginning to understand how he would use it to influence the laws of the universe.
Even though Lex himself was a bit of a cheat, and had been handling laws since before he became an immortal, in truth it was extremely dangerous.
The slightest mistake could have crushed him completely. Even now, as an immortal, he would not be influencing laws directly. Instead, he would use his tenet to influence laws, bringing about certain changes.
What changes he could bring were dependent both on his tenet, as well as his intention. Since he chose his tenet to be supremacy, he would interpret every facet of every law through the lens of supremacy.
For example, if he wanted to freeze water, he would influence the battle between the forms of water itself, shifting the balance of the battle from the liquid state to the physical one. Temperature no longer had anything to do with it – not unless what he focused on was shifting the balance in temperature, causing it lose in the battle to hold onto its energy, causing a rapid drop in temperature which would in turn cause the liquid to turn to solid.
The ways to achieve the exact same result were endless, and which ones he chose would determine the outcome, as well as how that outcome was achieved.
He could also embody his tenet in himself, strengthening his body and enhancing his understanding of laws. The deeper his comprehension of laws, the easier it would be to rise to higher realms. Come to think about it, his understanding of laws was pretty decent, and the energy in his body was completely saturated. He might be able to go through another tribulation soon…
Lex had not even completed the thought when he felt something tingly. He opened his eyes and looked up to see the eighteenth lightning bolt of his second tribulation forming. It was the exact same lightning beast he had fought before, and it looked angry.
Lex smirked
