Chapter 821 – The Primogenitor’s Struggle (1)

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

A new confrontation started. To this new world, this confrontation was undoubtedly worth paying attention to because it would determine the future direction and structure of this world.

Whether it was Jameson or Grissom, the two sides fighting were the most powerful people of this era. The current world is in a state of chaos. Other than the top powerhouses left behind from the previous era, only the two people before them were the most powerful. This strength was not only for the present but also for the future.

As time passed, people had every reason to believe that the strength of the two people before them would become even stronger, constantly breaking through the current level.

Then, the question came. Who was stronger between the two of them? Probably no one was clear about the answer yet. This world’s logic was sometimes complicated but quite simple at times.

Complicated because there is too much logic in this world, and people have too many thoughts. Sometimes, it was too difficult to convince a person. The simple reason was that it was very difficult to convince others, but it was easy to get rid of the person who spoke.

It was difficult to distinguish reasonings, but it’s not the case for physics. Thus, a life of reasoning began. But, under everyone’s gaze, the confrontation was about to begin.

Bang!

The rumbling sound spread, shrouding the entire area. It was deafening. It was like muffled thunder wanting to split the land apart forcefully. When the two Fifth Rank existences clashed, the violent and crazy power spread, shrouding the entire area.

How vast was this area? If one were to count it, it was already the size of several kingdoms. Under the suppression of the two auras, all living creatures, including humans, birds, and beasts, could not avoid it. Just the aftershocks could kill many people.

If it were the bloodline masters of the past, such a bloody scene would have been possible. This was because the bloodline masters of that era were generally unable to control their power in detail, and they were unable to make their power work. Therefore, every bit was not wasted.

Instead, they were all used in the fight, resulting in a terrifying impact. Once this kind of impact erupted, it would often affect the innocent, and all living creatures within a radius of thousands of miles might be affected.

It would be lucky if it were only property damage. The worse would be the loss of family members. It would be more fortunate if it were in the core area of the battle. Then, they could enjoy the outcome of the dead person being shattered and even skip the cremation process. That was because the person was gone directly.

This was due to the bloodline masters’ inability to control their powerful strength accurately. Not only did ordinary bloodline masters have this problem, but even those who stood at the top of the bloodline masters, such as the kings of the three great empires and Jameson, also had this problem.

However, it was all good now. This problem was peacefully resolved during the period when transcendents swept across the world. After all, the times had changed. Yet now, the transcendents were all taking one step at a time, slowly becoming stronger from the lower levels. Even Jameson was the same.

During this process, other aspects were fine, but the control of one’s strength would be improved to the highest degree. It was rare to see people being injured by accident, like in the past when a fight would kill countless people.

Nonetheless, just because there were fewer casualties didn’t mean that they weren’t terrifying anymore. In fact, due to their fine control over their strength, the strength that Jameson and Chris displayed at this moment was even more terrifying.

The sky changed, and all sorts of terrifying scenes appeared everywhere. The earth cracked like a natural disaster had descended and began to erupt simultaneously. There was an intense aura suppression in the void, opposing both parties.

“You’ve already advanced to the Fifth Rank?” Sensing the truth from Chris, Jameson’s face revealed a look of shock.

Chris had given him a pleasant surprise. In this era, most of the powerhouses in the world were at the Fourth Rank and waiting for someone to open up a path for them. Not only was there someone who could integrate the mage and knight’s system to create a brand new path, but they could also use this opportunity to advance to the Fifth Rank, reaching the same level as him. As a pioneer, Jameson knew very well how difficult it would be.

“I admire you even more…” He looked at Chris with a fiery expression.

Those who knew Jameson understood that this old man from the old era was an excellent researcher. He had even presided over many large-scale bloodline experiments in the old era. This was also why he was the first to open up a path. For a person like him, if he could see a pioneer before him, it would also be something that made him very happy.

However, his plan to provoke Chris was doomed to fail. Chris would not mind utilizing the King’s Assembly’s resources to help his research and cultivation. However, he couldn’t join the King’s Assembly and be controlled by others from then on.

After all, he was once a high and mighty primogenitor. He had his pride and wouldn’t submit to someone weaker than him.

This was different from Chen Heng. Although Chen Heng was powerful, he never cared about his pride for his benefit. He would never mind bowing to the weak as long as he could benefit from it.

But this was different for Chris and the others. Because of this, Chris could also express his submission to Chen Heng, but he would never do the same to Jameson.

“That’s a pity…”

Feeling Chris’ firm will, Jameson couldn’t help but sigh deeply, feeling a little regretful.

Their battle continued, and their auras spread, triggering a series of natural disasters. However, in the ensuing battle, their killing intent was not as intense as it seemed to outsiders.

This was very normal. Jameson and Chris had no deep enmity, and there was no need to kill each other. Furthermore, whether or not he could kill Chris was still unknown.

They were both Fifth Rank, and their strength was similar. It was still unknown if they could kill off the opposing party even if they went all out. However, it would be a huge blow to the King’s Assembly’s development if Jameson were injured.

Those who had submitted to the King’s Assembly and those who had been subdued due to Jameson’s strength would take the opportunity to plan and execute something.

After all, these people weren’t powerhouses nurtured by the King’s Assembly. Their sense of belonging to the King’s Assembly wasn’t very strong. They definitely wouldn’t mind betraying the King’s Assembly if there was a chance. They might even tear off a piece of meat from the King’s Assembly.

As for Chris?

Honestly speaking, he should be able to stall Jameson and kill him off here directly if he were to use all his strength.

After all, although Jameson was strong, Chris was still a reincarnated primogenitor. He had researched and cultivated for many years, and his strength had outgrown Jameson.

However, killing Jameson would not do him any good. After Jameson’s death, the King’s Assembly would fall into chaos, but it would not be useful to him.

Was he replacing Jameson as the leader of the King’s Assembly? That was possible, but it was too troublesome for Chris. Even if he succeeded, he would end up with a kingdom riddled with holes.

What benefits would he have for taking over the King’s Assembly? Moreover, even if he became the leader of the King’s Assembly, it wouldn’t be of many benefits to his strength. He might even need to waste too much of his strength and use it for other purposes. So it was not worth it.

Both sides did not have the intention of fighting to the death. Naturally, this would not be an actual battle of life and death. At the end of the battle, the situation began to develop in a strange direction.

“This is a Fifth Rank spell I invented. I named it Dark Night Sky Curtain.”

Jameson stretched out his hand. The spiritual energy in his mind connected with the outside world, instantly creating a dark sky curtain that covered an area.

Under this dark sky curtain, all the elemental particles seemed to be suppressed. There was also an inexplicable erosive force that seeped into the body from the outside world like ants gnawing at one’s body.

“Quite an impressive idea.”

Chris nodded. After feeling the effect of this spell, he also made his move.

As soon as he made his move, he waved the long sword in his hand, instantly cutting off everything. Even the dark sky curtain that covered the sky was cut off, revealing the scene after that.

“This is a unique combat skill that I have deduced. Therefore, I named it the Void Battle Blade. It requires the accumulation of magic power, life energy, and the coordination of mind and body to unleash its potential fully.”

Chris explained. Jameson was on the opposite side. His eyes lit up when he saw the skill that Chris had displayed. “What a genius idea. Is this a combat skill that only belongs to an Elemental Knight? It is indeed unique…”

Well, the two peak champions began to communicate as they fought. There was no atmosphere of life and death at all.

Pitifully below, around the two peak champions, the underlings of both sides were still staring at each other. One moment, they were looking at the sky changing color, and the next, they looked at the long saber piercing through the air. They were watching with fear and trepidation.

If they knew the true situation of this battle, they must have conflicting, complicated feelings in their mind.

The “battle” lasted for three days and three nights before it ended in a draw. Although there was no winner in this battle, they were satisfied when they left.

Jameson naturally returned with a full load. He had learned a lot from Chris. Chris was also surprised by many of Jameson’s ideas. He had many inspirations in his heart and was ready to go back and continue his research.

Now, he somewhat understood why Chen Heng wanted to create such a new world. In terms of strength, in the past, the bloodline era’s strength was stronger than the new era. Any random royal family could sweep away the current Mage Knight.

However, this strength was completely based on the bloodline. There was no novelty or change at all. How could it be as vibrant as it is now?

Without change, it meant that there was no innovation. Without innovation, it meant that there was no progress. And without progress, it meant that they were declining.

What would happen if they encountered a new world that was stronger and more progressive?

Chen Heng might have thought of these things, which was why he made these changes in this world. He forcefully interrupted the old era when the bloodline noble ruled over everything.

After returning to their respective territories, the results of this battle spread with time, and it was immediately spread to many forces.

It was only then that people learned that other than Jameson, the leader of the King’s Assembly, there was another person who had reached that level through his hard work.

Moreover, his genius-like integration of the mage and knight system had created a brand new class, the Elemental Knight, which caused a huge uproar. So many people were talking about it.

Some people thought that the mage and knight system integration and the creation of the Elemental Knight class was a genius-like creation by Chris that could bring new changes to the world.

However, some people thought this was Chris’s betrayal of the knights. He had betrayed the knight’s spirit and was no longer worthy of being the leader of the Knight System.

No matter how they discussed it, there was no doubt that Chris had already become famous through this incident. His reputation had spread far and wide and was known by many people.

Some of those with both the talent of a mage and the talent of a knight had their eyes lit up. They were already thinking about whether they should go and seek refuge with Chris and choose a brand new path.

There were quite many people in this world who had such thoughts. Because according to the current situation, the potential of the new class, the Elemental Knight, seemed much stronger than a single mage or knight.

Chris had combined the advantages of a mage and a knight. The cost was lower than that of a mage, and the combat strength was stronger than that of a knight. At the same time, because of the existence of life energy, the Elemental Knight could crush both the mages and knights in actual combat.

The combination of magic power and life energy was far stronger than a single system. The only bad thing was that the prerequisites for this class were too high. One had to have both mage and knight qualities to try, or it would not succeed.

But this was not difficult for the masses. Extraordinary talents seemed to be common. Many people had several different talents, but each had different qualities, so they would often choose the one with the best aptitude or the one they were most interested in developing.

As Chris’ reputation spread far and wide, many people came to seek refuge with him. This greatly expanded Chris’ forces and strength, becoming the third largest force after the Violet Empire and the King’s Assembly.

As for the Cardo Empire? This empire itself was independent of the mainstream. It was only quietly developing overseas, so it was naturally unimportant.

Time continued to pass. After the battle with Jameson, Chris devoted himself to research and learning, trying to make bigger breakthroughs.
