If in the past I was merely familiar with the original darkness, now it has become an extension of my will.

"Boom." Centered on Wu Yu's body, a violent hurricane suddenly swept through the sealed room.

The storm was also mixed with various elemental turbulence. The bricks in the blacksmith's shop began to crack, and before long, the entire house was destroyed. Sensing the danger, Jess quickly moved closer to Wu Yu.

With a gentle swing of his sword, Wu Yu shattered the falling ceiling and calmly observed his surroundings.

"boom."

The sky was already covered with dark clouds, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

This is divine punishment, using the power of heaven and earth to destroy those things that should not exist in the world.

"Hahaha." Wu Yu's clothes fluttered wildly in the gale, a joy that came from the bottom of his heart. This earth-shattering scene just confirmed his guess.

"Power that violates the laws of this world will be rejected by the will of the world. If there is anything that is the greatest trampling on the world, it must be the authority of the gods." Wu Yu recalled the advice the system had once given him.

"As expected, what the system has given me is the power of authority. So who exactly are you, speaking to me in the name of the system? I think the answer is already self-evident," Wu Yu shouted in his heart.

"Keep quiet? Whatever," Wu Yu muttered to himself, seemingly uninterested.

Gripping the Dark Origin tightly in his hand, Wu Yu submerged his consciousness in the sea of ​​his mind, where the black sphere and the clock remained independent of the entire space.

After absorbing those scattered fragments of the power of the laws, Wu Yu was able to truly understand that these two things were worlds apart from the laws themselves; they represented an absolute power that transcended all rules.

Even now, they remain a force that Wu Yu cannot control, but that does not mean that Wu Yu cannot utilize them.

He could easily replicate this black sphere and inscribe similar power onto the original darkness.

"In my name, Wu Yu, I grant you the power to sever everything."

As if by divine grace, the crimson darkness was reborn in Wu Yu's hands.

The black spots gradually swallowed the crimson, and as Wu Yu finished speaking, Yuan An returned to its original ordinariness.

The heavenly thunder grew increasingly violent, carrying the power to destroy everything, and a thick bolt of purple lightning pierced through the heavens and earth.

Wu Yu's fighting spirit had been completely drained, but he was not afraid at all. The thing that was now intolerable to heaven and earth was not him, but the Yuan An sword in his hand.

Facing the purple lightning bolt, Wu Yu threw the Yuan An in his hand.

Yuan An transformed into a streak of light and soared upwards against the heavens. All the purple lightning poured down on Yuan An, yet it did not harm him in the slightest.

The sword's edge, however, became even sharper under the baptism of the purple lightning.

"Only authority can fight against authority. It turns out that the world is so weak in the face of the gods." This scene made Wu Yu realize something.

The same was true when the God of Light descended; that supreme power was something that mortal things could not contend with.

After a long time, when Heaven and Earth finally realized that they could do nothing against Yuan An, they could only reluctantly choose to give up.

Yuan An fell from the sky and landed right back in Wu Yu's hands.

"Is this the work of God? How unfair! How unfair!" Jess, recovering from his astonishment, looked at Wu Yu and realized his lifelong dream with just one punch. He couldn't help but curse loudly, and as he cursed, tears streamed down his face.

"There has never been any fairness in this world." Looking at the crazed Jess, Wu Yu's words were devoid of any pity. After storing Yuan An into his storage ring, all Wu Yu could do at this moment was to assure Jess, "Our deal still stands. I will help Green Town resist the invasion of the demons."

After speaking, Wu Yu quickly left before the crowd completely surrounded the area.

Back in his room, Wu Yu took out the Yuan An sword again and examined it, which could be described as the sharpest blade in the world. Wu Yu knew that his power had increased again, but he felt no joy.

Compared to the current outcome, Wu Yu would rather that the artifact was forged by Jess, or that he himself had failed in forging it.

But what he sees now is the truth.

God is invincible; this is not an excuse for cowards, but a stark reality.

This is also the conclusion Wu Yu reached after collecting and analyzing intelligence over the past month.

Since the beginning of recorded history on this continent, no one has ever broken through to the ninth-order mythical realm. Wu Yu used to think that it was because the world's foundation was insufficient and they had not yet found the right way to break through.

But now Wu Yu has another guess: the method to break through to the ninth level simply does not exist.

The laws of nature are contained within the universe, and battle qi and magic power are also the power of the universe. Humans follow the way of nature and use the power of the universe to achieve self-transcendence.

Developing the body to its limit is the sixth stage.

By comprehending the laws, one can break through to the seventh-tier legendary level.

Complete mastery of the laws allows one to reach the eighth-tier epic level.

To gain access to the ninth level, one needs authority.

The laws can be understood, but where does authority come from? Wu Yu searched through all the books in the libraries he passed along the way, but he couldn't find any source about authority anywhere.

People only know that authority belongs to the gods and is something that mortals cannot touch.

Gods are born holy; they did not rise from lower life forms to the highest level. From the moment of their birth, they should have been the supreme ninth-order myths.

This is the most reasonable guess in Wu Yu's opinion, and the forging of this divine artifact has just proven Wu Yu's guess.
