Chapter 885: Shadowcrest Family Advancement
Arriving on the frontline of the battlefield, Maximus disguised himself as he began to hunt dark beasts while testing the nefarious will.
From tier 12 to tier 13, and even the origin dark beast.
Testing the efficiency of the Amalgamation of Will, Maximus was slightly surprised by the result.
He discovered that a nefarious will, produced by a trillion individuals over the course of a year, could easily kill a Tier 12 dark beast.
For a tier 13 dark beast, the output of an entire tier 12 plane for a single year was enough!
This meant that if the Aeon Plane had utilized the power of will earlier, they could have pummeled the tier 13 dark beasts invading them in just a year.
Thinking of how the Aeon Plane had struggled for trillions of epochs against a single tier 13 dark beast, when he could kill them in a year using the Amalgamation of Will, Maximus couldn’t help but shake his head with a sigh.
Of course, even if he knew of this power sooner, he couldn’t act on it.
The Aeon Plane was still too fragile, and his power was still too weak to contain a usable Amalgamation of Will.
If he forcibly used such power, the backlash might be something he couldn’t handle.
Continuing to hunt dark beasts, Maximus began to consider how he could efficiently use the nefarious will.
With tens of millions of tier 12 planes in the planar chaos region, they could kill tens of millions of tier 13 dark beasts or wipe out a large area of tier 12 dark beasts.
“No, it’s seemed they didn’t need my help.”
The battlefield was relatively stable at the moment.
Without the Black Sigil’s harassment, the beings of the planar chaos region steadily defended and accumulated energy, allowing more powerhouses, from Overlords to Archons, to emerge.
Although the barrier still took damage from the dark beasts’ suppression, the battlefield had reached a near equilibrium.
If Maximus hunted dark beasts on a massive scale, it might spark new chaos, disturbing the current balance.
Furthermore, instead of wasting it on weak dark beasts, it would be better to accumulate and target the origin dark beast.
Maximus estimated that to kill one, a regular tier 13 plane had to accumulate a thousand years of nefarious will, while an Overseer’s tier 13 plane needed just one year.
With thousands of tier 13 planes and over a dozen Overseers’ Planes, coupled with all the tier 12 planes, Maximus could easily kill hundreds of origin dark beasts every year.
It might seem low, but according to statistics, the beings of the Planar Chaos Region could barely kill one every year.
An origin dark beast was truly a formidable opponent, taking numerous years to kill even one.
“Hah~ I’m getting too ambitious…” Maximus smiled, suddenly remembering that the Amalgamation of Will was only attached to the Aeon Plane at the moment.
To cover the entire Planar Chaos Region, based on the speed of the Amalgamation of Will’s expansion, it would need hundreds of millions of years.
Even if the other beings cooperated, the time could still stretch to over a hundred million years.
Still too long before he could freely use the power of the Amalgamation of Will, Maximus thought it was better to train first.
Instead of focusing on killing dark beasts, he should hurry and train to quickly advance to the Archon Realm.
It had been over five million years since he took his time helping the Aeon Plane advance.
Thinking of the Chaos Destroyer that was about to come, he had no time to mull over these dark beasts that others could handle.
Saying a few words to the Overseers to cooperate with the spread of the Amalgamation of Will, Maximus called back his family as they went to train.
—
Soon, a hundred million years had passed since they arrived at the center of the Planar Chaos Region.
Training for tens of millions more years, before Maximus could feel any hint of advancement, his family had already reached their limit.
Mastering an Archon of Law, they each went into seclusion, trying to forge their way out of the Tier 13 Archon Realm!
“I didn’t expect I’d be left behind…” Maximus smiled wryly.
He could understand Eshka advancing before him, but when his entire family began to advance, Maximus felt complicated.
“This Plane Source Physique is simply too stubborn.”
Having mastered and devoured the essence of hundreds of Archons of Law, coupled with countless myriad energies in his possession, Maximus could advance anytime he wanted.
However, without the Plane Source Physique evolving to a true plane level, his foundation would be imperfect.
Maximus had already tried every method, from flooding it with myriad energy to inputting all the noble will he had accumulated and seeking solutions using his plane-level ability, True Path.
Yet, despite all this, like a stone sinking in the deep sea, there was no reaction.
If not for the slight ripple every time he absorbed myriad energy or input noble will, Maximus might have thought it was impossible to evolve.
With hope but only a trickle to fill an ocean, Maximus could only be patient and slowly accumulate.
With nothing to do while his family was in seclusion, Maximus went to the Shadow Void Land to check the battlefield’s current situation.
“Oh? What brings you here, Mr. Busy man?” Tiara, the Archon of Fate, teased, sitting beside him.
“Nothing, just looking for a fresh scenery…” Maximus smiled.
From the paradise-like environment of the Etherium Realm to the bloody, despairing battlefield, it was indeed a fresh sight.
“Really? I see your entire family is in seclusion. You must be bored,” Tiara said, rolling her eyes as she quickly deduced the reason for Maximus’s outing.
“I truly had nothing to do. I just came to see if I could help in some way,” Maximus shrugged.
He had already comprehended the essence of every Archon of Law in the Planar Chaos Region.
Besides the emerging ones from new Archons advancing from time to time, he had nothing else to do.
“You really can’t live without something to do,” Tiara said, shaking her head with a sigh.
For over a hundred million years in the Central Planar Chaos Region, aside from taking a few hundred thousand years of vacation, Maximus was either training, fighting, or doing something important.
“What can I do? As long as this disaster isn’t resolved, I can’t relax.”
“Can’t you rest even a little? You can trust us, you know.”
“Then how about you massage my back?” Maximus smirked.
