Lord Shadow

Azief don’t know how long he had walked these stairs. To him sometimes it felt like a second, sometimes it felt like hundreds and thousands of years.

Eternity and an instant in a step.

Even now, as he looks like one brush of wind could topple him down, the aura that is emanating from him would not lose out to ancient being.

It was like he himself have walked through the eons and passes the epochs of creation and destruction.

Law Body of Nether sat cross legged on the eight step, becoming the source of destructive aspect of reality.

Eight Laws Body each one seems to contain Laws that could determine the creation of a new Universe and the Destruction of it.

Nether energy is the source and the very concept of entropy and destruction, disasters and all degeneration in matter, energy and concepts.

It is the power that makes possible and ensures severing the soul’s connection to their mortal body, so they can pass onto the afterlife.

It is also the power that summons and controls the souls of the deceased.

Creation and destruction, like the steps Azief had walked happens in an instant and probably eternity in a single step.

Nether is an unseen element, which means it cannot be perceived by any physical sense. Yet, now that he is blind, he could feel the Nether energy like it was solid.

He could feel the way it is flowing, the rate at which it flows and he could manipulate it.

When this Law is completed, he could bring down absolute destruction, collapse anything and everything into oblivion.

The concepts around his Law Body dissipated, destroy the moment it made contact with his Law Body.

Around Azief Law Body of Nether, the particles that makes up reality is degenerating

Not only that, the space around his Law Body of Nether is also being warped and distorted like a powerful force wrinkle the very concept of reality

‘I’m tired’ Azief said.

His voice echoing to this Universe and changing the very vibe of this Universe

The Universe withers and become slow. Then he said

‘I will still walk’ he said it with a weak voice like he would drop dead any moment now. But there is an unmistakable determination in tat weak voice.

And the Universe inside the Supreme Dimension responded to it. New stars are formed out of nothing, and light expanded all over the darkness of the Void.

He takes another step leaving his Law Body of Nether behind him.

The nine steps have no icy hell or storms. Instead it was fire. The moment he set his feet on the nine steps his entire body is on fire.

His skin that should have been indestructible slowly melted off.

His face is melting off with fat.

Yet Azief did not scream.

Was it not painful? It is painful.

But then why did he not scream.

Because the pain is too severe.

He let the flames burns him. He could not utilize the energy he had. Since each time he takes a steps, the steps take energy away from him.

His body was purified from the Purifying Fire. It should not have ben this easy to melt his skin and burn him alive. Yet, that is what is happening right now.

The cold he felt before is now replaced by extreme heat. One of his bones melted and turns into white liquid than falls and pierces the steps of the Supreme Stairway.

It landed into a small planet below the Supreme Stairway.

The moment it falls into the land of that planet, the entire planet melted and it was destroyed as the drop of the melted bones of Azief pass through a rip among the Three Thousand Rips of space.

Azief knows no way to dispel this fire.

So, he just takes another step, his entire body is being burned and part of his melted skin stuck at the step

At this point of time, his entire body is screaming to him to stop. Stop climbing the stairs and return home

That this is enough. Each time that voice comes to his ears, he would ignore it and take a step forward.

On the ninth step the diamond pattern appears in his right ankle. The vein like pattern also trying to connect with the pattern on his thigh.

The burning sensation now pierce through the bones. From his exposed bones Azief could see that even his bones have that mark like it was carved deep into9 his bones.

He could even feel that the mark symbols and its vein like pattern is now enveloping his blood veins, his life force and all of his being.

In the Step of the Nine Steps there is three statues. These three statues are the statue of elderly old man with long flowing beard, each one of them seated in a throne.

They sit in their throne like some primordial deities, with the energies of Primordial Beginning and Ending swirling around them

The first statue, the one sitting on the center seems to emits a universal and heavenly energy, with a trace of energy of primordial beginning.

The second one seems to contain all energies that could sustain life and the third one possess all the forces inside of a living Universe with the power of elemental forces leaking out of the third statue.

Yet at the same time these three are connected by some kind of Primordial Celestial energy.

Azief could never notice this if he has his eyes. Because it is formless.

The center statue holds a Pearl that seems to contain the power of creation.

The one beside him hold a scepter and it seems to have the power to controls all things in the Universe.

The other one have a fan and this fan seems to possess the power to spread life to even the darkest Universe

In the ninth step his Law Body appears and all the space rips around this Supreme Stairway is distorting itself like it was about to collapse.

In Jade Empire, the Jade Emperor is frowning.

‘So, he reached that stage’ The Jade Emperor himself once walked the steps so he knows this feeling.

The fact that the space rips is unstable right now is none other the sign that someone is about to walk to the end of the Supreme Stairway.

He ended his meeting with his Heavenly General and flew to his Imperial Residence. He then sits cross legged and close his eyes.

His Soul comes out from his soul and as he takes a step his Soul Form appears in the Supremacy Stairway.

Azief is now blind but even if he still has his eyes he still could not see the Jade Emperor.

Unless he could master releasing his Soul whenever he wanted Azief would never be able to see Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor look at the space rips that is about to collapse on itself and he sighed.

Each of the space rips contains a world and if it collapses on itself it would mean that those world will not receive heavenly energy of the Jade Palace.

The worst scenario it would also collapse the Laws of that world.

Sighing the Jade Emperor blow his life force and the space rips slowly stabilized. He then takes a step backward and he was back in Jade Empire and opens his eyes.

‘I guess he would walk at my step later’ the Jade Emperor thought to himself.

The Jade Emperor statue is at the tenth steps. Or to be more accurate one of his incarnation. He smiles.

He also knows it would not be long now that he would return to his slumber. Like Odin in Asgard he too would have to sleep.

Only Zeus is awake. But the Jade Emperor and Odin both pitied the King of Olympus. Because even when he is awake, he is actually asleep.

Jade Emperor and Odin remembers what happened before. The Time God Jean might have change the Time Laws but there are some beings that could push through that Laws and remembers what happened before.

Jade Emperor, Odin, the Loki in Asgard, Wargod is the few ones that still remembers.

And considering that the Wheel of Reincarnation appears on Earth, Azief might have met Grand Supremacy Azul

He himself has never met that reclusive expert. But Yu Wang think that Grand Supremacy would surely remembers and the matter of this universe would not attract them too much

He sighed again as he looks at his Empire.
