Shang's logic was simple. Lucius had had a sixfold Spirit Sense. King Sanctified Death had a sixfold Spirit Sense. The God probably also had a sixfold Spirit Sense. So, the only surefire way to get past all of them was to attain a sevenfold Spirit Sense. Shang only had about 850 years of longevity left, but this risk was exactly why anyone else wouldn't have made this choice. The three other people had gone through a similar transformation, and if Shang wanted a true shot at pushing his Path to…-

Time passed. After a couple of years, quite a big chunk of Shang's stump had already vanished into nothingness. It was a strange feeling to lose a part of oneself. It didn't even hurt. In a technical sense, Shang never received an injury while he was doing this since he had always been in his peak condition. And yet, experiencing something like this elicited a certain feeling of approaching doom in someone. A normal human could see this like their arm slowly necrosing. With every passing…

A Peak Mage Lord. A Mage who surpassed Shang by an entire Realm. Was it possible to win this fight? No. Even if Shang used his most powerful attack, Fate, George would only lose about 20% of his Mana. And then what? George could easily replenish the lost Mana, while Shang would be unable to launch further attacks. The cost was clear. Lucius had understood the concept of entropy by sacrificing external mana, a process that took him a long time. But what could be better than experiencing it…

A tall man with grey hair entered the portal. He wore the violet robes of a Bolt and regarded Shang with a resolute and hostile gaze. This man was Jerald's son, named after the Dean of the Warrior Academy, George. Shang had encountered George only twice before. The first meeting occurred when Shang emerged from seclusion to converse with Jerald, and the second took place during the grand warriors' tournament. During their initial encounter, George had not been Shang's adversary. The second meeting…

Shang fought the Berserker, and he was quite surprised by how weak the Berserker was initially. Sure, his body was stronger than the body of a Weapon Master, but neither his power nor his speed or his techniques were better than the Barbarian. But there was one difference. His defense was amazing! The attack that had created a gash on the Barbarian's face only left a scratch on the Berserker's face. And then, the Berserker's attacks grew a slight bit faster and a slight bit stronger as a tiny red…

Shang left the room and entered another long hallway. By now, he had been inside the trial for around 150 years, proving once again that the trial Shang was undertaking was very different from others. Usually, the trial portion of the Trial of Want only took a couple of years at most. Most of the time, a person would be done within a year. And yet, Shang had been undertaking trials for 150 years. Eventually, Shang reached the next room, and this time, there was no transparent cube hovering in the…

After leaving the room, Shang found himself in another long hallway, and this one was even longer than all the other ones. Shang estimated that it was over 500,000 kilometers long. With the previous hallways, Shang estimated that he was beneath the Eternal Ocean right now. Finally, Shang reached the next door and opened it. Library. There was a humongous library on the other side. It wasn't as big as the Lightning Emperor's library, but it still had about 10% of its size. One had to remember that the…

Shang wasn't quite sure why there was a fountain of blood in the middle of the hall, but his question got answered rather quickly as letters appeared in the air. "Put a drop of your blood in the fountain." Shang walked over to the fountain and cut his finger. A small stream of blood flowed down Shang's finger since he wasn't really careful with the depth of the cut. As the first drops of blood hit the fountain, one of the doors at the edges of the hall opened, and Shang walked through. The door closed…

Shang felt a bit nervous about this entire thing, but there was nothing he could do. The Lightning Emperor was so powerful that nothing Shang could do would influence anything. Even if Shang sacrificed his entire body to Entropy, he wouldn't be able to even scratch the Lightning Emperor. If Shang sacrificed his entire body, he might be able to heavily injure a Mage King, but that was it. Heavily injure. The more powerful Shang became, the less powerful his Entropy became. Well, that wasn't entirely…

Shang knew that Lucius hadn't kept all of his abilities as the Child of Calamity a secret. He had made some of his abilities public, but he had disguised them as something else. "You can use Anti-Magic?!" the Lightning Emperor asked in shock. "I don't know exactly how Lucius' Anti-Magic works," Shang said. "This is a Domain that I can use to turn Elemental Mana into Neutral Mana in exchange for parts of my body." "In exchange for parts of your body?" the Lightning Emperor repeated. "This is..." The…
