King of Titans and Dragons
Chapter 905 - 905 893 Sky Demon Secret Art

Chapter 905: Chapter 893 Sky Demon Secret Art Chapter 905: Chapter 893 Sky Demon Secret Art “It’s about time to prepare the announcement of the Empire’s establishment!” Muria, seated on the throne, flipped through various statistical results in hand and let out a light sigh.

He planned to announce the establishment of the Empire when the total number of intelligent creatures under his rule exceeded ten billion. Now, the number of intelligent creatures living on the Senapus Subcontinent had already surpassed five billion.

Muria believed that within another fifty years, just by providing some policy support, the humans under his command could easily achieve the ten billion milestone.

“I want to lay the foundation of this Empire thoroughly before Atris takes over my position!”

Muria thought to himself silently, then turned around to look at his subjects and posed his question to them.

“Do you all think there are any loopholes or deficiencies within the institutions under my command?”

“Master, I think there’s a slightly imperfect aspect of the judiciary system!” As soon as Muria posed the question, Mels, a powerful Abyss Refining Demon from the dark side of the Senapus Subcontinent, stood up.

“Oh?” Muria looked on with a smile at his top lackey, “What problem do you perceive?”

Ever since the Legal Code was enacted, Mels had transformed himself into a super nitpicker, the kind that finds fault within the eggshell. Most peculiar was that he nitpicked at himself, for he specifically targeted the thorns in the Legal Code.

Then, he would take the issues he found back to Muria, laying out examples and reasoning, telling Muria where the Legal Code was flawed. Once Muria nodded in agreement, this fellow would rush back to the Devils who drafted the Legal Code and mercilessly wield the slaughter knife, executing deadlier purges.

“Master, I haven’t found any problems with the Legal Code yet, but there is a very fatal problem in another aspect. The essence of the Legal Code is nothing more than words written on a medium. What makes the Legal Code the Legal Code is that a group of people use it as the basis for enforcing its recorded contents. When there are no longer enforcers who use it as a basis, the Legal Code ceases to be a Legal Code.”

“So what are you trying to say? Where is the problem you found?”

“Master, I think the Judges who truly implement the will of the Legal Code can skew from objectivity, because they are selected from various races, and ultimately, they are creatures with material needs; and where there are desires, impartiality cannot be guaranteed!”

“Mels, do you mean to say that you’ve discovered Judges acting for personal gains, defying the Legal Code, and turning right into wrong, is that it?” Just as Mels’s words fell, an Ancient Dragon immediately stood up to challenge Mels.

“I haven’t found that yet!” Mels replied with a smile.

“If not, why bring it up?”

“Just making arrangements before the rain, as I’ve said before. Judges are creatures, creatures change, and they all have desires. They may maintain fairness and justice now, but that doesn’t mean they will in the future.”

“Absurd!” Just as Mels finished speaking, several Metallic Ancient Dragons stood up to rebuke him. These Ancient Dragons had followed Muria, and he had arranged for them to enter the judiciary system; they were among the most powerful Judges within Muria’s judiciary system.

“Master, you see, even the Ancient Dragons are the same. As soon as I touch upon their interests, they stand up to attack me. If one day I violate the Legal Code and stand in court, will they deliberately impose a heavier sentence when they judge me?”

Mels, unconcerned about the rebukes from those Ancient Dragons, simply looked up at Muria and put forth his suggestion. He knew who his Master was and who he needed to serve.

“So, how do you think we should eliminate this potential future risk?” Muria glanced at the bellowing Ancient Dragons, and with just one look, the dragons quieted down, becoming completely silent and not daring to speak out of turn.

“Simple, just replace the Judges. As long as Judges have no material needs from the outside world and need not worry about any threats, they can retain the most fundamental fairness and justice and follow the provisions of the Legal Code to conduct their judgments.”

“So you believe the requirement for Judges is to be desireless and fearless of life threats. From what you’ve said, there is only one thing that comes to mind which meets the criteria,” Muria said with a smile, “Tower Spirits!”

“Exactly! Your Majesty, I think only the Tower Spirits, beings created as Spirit entities, are most suited to serve as Judges,” Mels answered decisively.

“Do you know that even Tower Spirits, given enough time, can have emotions just like normal creatures?”

“If that time comes, just replace it! Judges absolutely cannot have any emotional desires!”

“Do you understand how many resources would be consumed to achieve what you’re suggesting?”

“Your Majesty, although it’s terrifying in terms of resource consumption, in the long run, it’s absolutely worth it!” Mels said, lowering his head. “Just like how Lord Hades uses Divine Power to resurrect mortals, it might seem unworthy in the short term, but with a long-term perspective, Lord Hades’ gains will be immense.”

“Hmm! You make a good point. Regarding this matter, go ahead and bring me a detailed implementation plan,” Muria instructed.

“At your command!”

…Ten days later, Muria, who was perusing through the plans for a justice system that had come from the Muria Clan Land, suddenly heard a melodious and clear voice next to his ear,

“Master Muria!”

“Cassio? What is it?”

“Your father, Lord Ansalor, and your mother, Her Excellency Atris, are ready to head into the Void. Would you like to come and bid them farewell?”

“Of course I would!” Muria put down the plan book in his hand and stood up.

…

A seven-colored rainbow light tore through space, striking squarely in the courtyard of the Titan Clan Land residence where Muria had not lived for a long time. Then, dressed in a loose-fitting robe, Muria bathed in the seven-colored light and walked out.

“Where are my parents?” Muria, having appeared in the courtyard, turned his head to look at Cassio, who had condensed a body next to him.

“Master, please be patient. We need to teleport you one more time! Then you will be able to see your parents.”

“They’re outside the Void!” Muria raised an eyebrow; as his strength gradually increased, Cassio’s permissions had also been raised, allowing him to teleport Muria to any corner of the world at will.

“Yes!”

…

Outside the Erathia World Barrier, a vast Metal Continent was floating. On this continent, the Blazing Sky God Race, the Titan Tribe, and even the rarely seen in the Material World Primordial Giant Dragons were gathered. Some wore smiles, others had solemn expressions, as if welcoming a grand occasion that was soon to arrive.

At that moment, a rainbow streaked with seven-colored light shot up from the lower regions of the Material World and struck the Metal Continent. The formidable might did not attract much attention, for all beings here had already reached the pinnacle of the Material World!

The arrival of this light pillar drew the gaze of two existences: one, a breathtakingly beautiful girl with disheveled golden hair, and the other, an imposing Titan donning battle armor.

“Father! Mother!” Muria, freshly teleported by Cassio from below, landed on the Metal Continent. As his vision cleared, he immediately saw his parents approaching him.

“It seems you got the news rather quickly!” The Golden Dragon Mother raised an eyebrow upon seeing Muria’s arrival.

“You’re heading to the Void, and you didn’t even mention it to me?” Muria asked somewhat displeased.

“What’s there to say? Once we successfully break through the boundary between Legend and Epic, we can come back and share our story with you all the same!” The Golden Dragon Mother laughed it off, apparently unconcerned.

“Have the first batch who used the Sky Demon Secret Art returned from their legendary peak already?” Noting the confident tone of his mother, as if certain to become part of an epic, Muria asked with some confusion.

“Two from the Titan Tribe, two Blazing Sky God Descendants, and one Primordial Golden Dragon, making a total of five went to the Void. Apart from one Blazing Sky God Descendant, who lost contact in the Void, the others have all returned not long ago!”

Ansalor relayed this sensational news to Muria. Five legends using the Sky Demon Secret Art, with four succeeding in breaking through, such a success rate could essentially outshine the secret arts mastered by the Blazing Sky God Race and the Titan Tribe.

“What’s the story with the missing Blazing Sky God Descendant?” Muria asked, still puzzled.

“It’s unclear. Too many things might have happened within the Void, and you should have understood the principle of the Sky Demon Secret Art by now. Though it has a high success rate, it still carries certain risks!”

“To have problems even with the foundation of a legendary peak, that’s some seriously bad luck!”

Muria smacked his lips, speechless; he had already got a fair idea of the principle behind the Sky Demon Secret Art.

The Sky Demon Secret Art is simple in theory. No matter what world it is, there is an inherent desire for ascension, and a world’s ascension cannot do without the help of the intelligent civilizations it has nurtured. However, for a world to nurture a civilization capable of entering the Void, it is bound to face numerous hardships and trials.

The Sky Demon Secret Art involves choosing a world where the nurtured civilization has encountered issues. The practitioner seals all of their own powers, then enters into that world, reincarnating and obtaining a new life to secure a legitimate identity within the target world.

Then, it’s all about how the entity that used the secret art leverages their legendary foundation to rise as a leader of that world’s civilization, eliminating the civilization’s hidden dangers.
