Chapter 32: Battle with Magnus

Qingyuan Material Plane.

Shawn, who was meditating on the grass, suddenly opened his eyes.

Boom~

The Heaven-and-Earth Law has descended~

A few imperial princes in the distance were stunned by the direction of their father's palace, thinking that all of their father's divine avatars had already become Ascended Gods—how could the Heaven-and-Earth Law still descend?

But at this moment, they did not dare to disturb.

After a while, the Heaven-and-Earth Law receded.

Shawn sensed his control over the surroundings and felt great joy.

"Indeed, the fusion of Life and Death Rules into the profound cultivation of Great Perfection grants each of the two divine avatars a Willpower Might reward."

As in the original work, after Lin Lei finally comprehended the fusion of four exotic profound cultivations, each of his four divine avatars received two units of Willpower Might; now his Life and Death Ascended God avatars also possess Willpower Might.

That is, there are two "Great Perfection" divine avatars.

"Father? What just happened?" Tuoya approached the edge of the grass, bowed, and asked.

Shawn smiled at the descendant he favored most and said, "You've made a breakthrough; you don't need to ask about this. Do whatever you must."

"Yes, father." Tuoya quickly retreated.

Shawn made a casual gesture, and a massive fissure appeared beside him, filled with multicolored spatial turbulence;

The fissure, which under normal circumstances would have healed quickly, was suppressed by a will, keeping it permanently.

"So this is spatial turbulence!" Shawn ignored the fissure's suction and stood at its edge watching.

In the past, even a peak Asura would not dare approach this closely, for a slip would be drawn in.

"Unfortunately, you still can't go in~"

With a thought, the spatial fissure healed.

Plane Battlefield:

Shawn thought, and the Primordial God's Power that had been constantly radiating moments ago instantly withdrew into his body;

Previously, even though he was a three‑path soul mutation, controlling the Primordial God's Power felt like a child playing with a broadsword, but now he easily bound the power directly within his body with no leakage.

A single drop of Primordial God's Power cannot be exhausted today; it can be saved for billions of years later without issue;

Magnus's complexion changed dramatically; he had just sensed the Willpower Might, and the only explanation for this was.

"Congratulations, Shawn. I didn't expect to witness the birth of a Great Perfection today, and it's the Death Rule."

Even if he had been proud before, when faced with a peer Great Perfection he must treat equally; any Great Perfection is a pinnacle of divinity, and each birth is the greatest rumor of the four supreme planes and the seven divine planes.

The others present were initially uncertain, but upon hearing Magnus say that, they erupted. They had actually witnessed a Great Perfection born between Heaven and Earth—a rarity that unfolded before their eyes.

Aodebiao's eyes were incredulous; although the Lord of Death had previously said Shawn was only one step away from Great Perfection, there are many such beings across the divine planes, yet he hadn't expected his own friend to become a Great Perfection?

Resjing was also ecstatic, laughing heartily; he was not only a friend of this newly risen Great Perfection but also a lifesaver. From now on everyone will know his connection to the Great Perfection—who would dare harm him? What the Primordial God cannot do, the Great Perfection has no limits;

On the side of the Bright God Plane, members of the Augusta family turned pale, Wuman's face turned ashen, and then a figure vanished;

The Bennfield three siblings nearby were also stunned; the red‑robed woman stammered, "Elder brother?"

Bennfield looked at his second sister and third brother and said, "After the plane war ends, we'll hide on the Material Plane for a while and keep a low profile."

Shawn glanced around; his breakthrough to "Great Perfection" was probably the first since the dawn of Heaven and Earth, yet it was beyond his control—if the breakthrough between life and death failed, he would die.

Shawn turned to Magnus and said, "Magnus, this battle is between the Underworld and the Bright God Realm; you belong to the Celestial Realm, so this has nothing to do with you."

"Which divine plane do I, Magnus, represent? It's up to me," Magnus said calmly.

Although many rumors about divine planes involve a master from a particular plane, travel between planes is completely free; one can go wherever one wishes, including plane battlefields, and the Primordial God generally does not intervene unless one is an envoy of that system's Primordial God, in which case one cannot go opposite.

More importantly, if Shawn retreats because he broke through Great Perfection, his face in the divine plane would be completely tarnished.

Shawn replied coldly, "This is my Underworld battlefield; I will not retreat."

Under normal circumstances, if the two met and chose not to fight, that would be fine; but now on a plane battlefield, anyone who retreats could become a joke among the divine planes, especially with the Lord of Death's demand behind it.

"Fine, between Heaven and Earth there has probably never been a Great Perfection of the Death Rule; I want to see which is stronger, the Death Rule or the Fate Rule."

Before Magnus finished speaking, a massive amount of Fate Primordial God's Power surrounding him, constrained by Willpower Might, formed a lotus several meters wide that enveloped him, dazzlingly beautiful; the radiant soul power made nearby leaders' hearts tremble.

"Showy," Shawn said with a faint smile, and then a multitude of gray daggers composed of soul power appeared around him.

"Let's see whose soul attack is stronger."

Magnus snorted coldly, pushed both hands forward, and the lotus spun rapidly, shooting toward Shawn like a bolt of lightning.

Shawn hovered motionless, and the surrounding daggers, like unbridled horses, flew toward the lotus,

"Boom~~" The lotus's surface was struck by black daggers and instantly melted away like a meteor falling into the sea;

It vanished completely before reaching Shawn.

"Magnus, against soul attacks you have no advantage," Shawn said with a faint smile.

This exchange confirmed that his "Exotic Profound Great Perfection," with the Willpower Might bestowed by Heaven and Earth, is the same as a regular first‑path Great Perfection;

As for the profound itself, the achievements of Life and Death on the soul are no weaker than the Fate Rule, only differing in favored direction;

Regarding soul power, although his three‑path mutation is a hundred times stronger than the opponent's, everyone is using Primordial God's Power, which at this point masks the advantage of the soul mutation; only by depleting the opponent's Primordial God's Power would he gain absolute superiority.

"Hmph, then let's try a material attack."

A fate‑attribute long whip about ten meters long materialized in Magnus's hand; with a simple swing it easily tore the surrounding space.

"Against material attacks?" Shawn asked with a puzzled expression. "Don't you know I have a primary artifact of material defense?"
