"Wrong! Try again!"

"HA!"

"Wrong! One more time!"

"HAA!"

"Good! That's your third one. Now do it again!"

"HAA!!"

In a wide open yard of a three- story stone house, two guys could be seen. One was Raven who's arms are crossed while the other was Kyle who's repeatedly being asked to perform a horizontal strike with his Greatsword. 

Kyle face was covered with perspiration and his jaws are clenched. He could feel his arms screaming bloody murder due to this painful training yet he didn't utter a single word. He gritted his teeth and did what his Teacher told him even though his arms felt like they will fall off. 

This is what he get for having a weird preference for a weapon. Who told him to choose a greatsword as a weapon anyway? 

Raven of course didn't care about his weapon choice, he has ways to make Kyle an absolute expert despite his choices. But still, Kyle is still too green. His basics were horrible and his foundations are unstable - at least in Raven's eyes they were. If this continues, Kyle wouldn't be able to go far so in order to achieve their aim, back to basics he goes. 

Kyle performed another set of proper horizontal slash through the guidance of Raven before his body gave up. He fell forward like a sack of potatoes and went unconscious due to exhaustion. Raven flicked his finger and Kyle shot towards a barrel full of medicinal fluids. As the medicine did its magic, Raven activated an array for Kyle to use later on and disappeared from the stone house. 

He reappeared later a his house, precisely at his own yard. Right now he was alone since Luna already decided to take the smelting trial prepared for her, the rest of the team also took their leave and are now on their way to their own lucky chances.

Of course, even though Raven already reached the pinnacle of this realm, that doesn't mean that there's no room for improvement anymore. In fact, he still has a long way to go. Stepping to the peak of this world is just the start. 

He sat down and sank into a deep meditative state, wanting to temper and diversify his understandings about his Destruction Laws. 

It didn't take long before Raven immersed himself from his law cultivation, eventually being unable to extricate himself from the wonderful sensation of being lost to the sea of wonders of his own Laws.

This is the result of the various arts that he received from his recent travels outside. Due to the inspirations that he received from the [True Destruction Manual] that he got from Astrid, he was able to formulate and add more insights about his own Laws.

Each Law has at least 5 fields of study. For Destruction Laws, they are: Breaking, Shattering, Pulverizing, Disintegration, and Annihilation. Currently, he's at least 80% through from study of Breaking. 

The terror of Destruction Laws - specifically for those who understood the Breaking Concept, is the ability to negate any kind of attack heading towards them by breaking them, while at the same time, their attacks are extremely tyrannical in nature and could reduce any kind of defense into shambles. 

Every creation eventually meets their destruction. It's only a matter of when. 

However, moving from one field of study to another is a different matter altogether. There are times that one's previous ideas and understanding will clash, causing a major bottleneck which sometimes prevents a cultivator from moving forward for the rest of their lives. There are ways to mitigate this but right now, Raven had no need for them since he hadn't encountered a such a problem just yet. 

Raven's currently attuned to nature, at this state his comprehension and deduction skills are at maximum drive. Even without him doing anything, his mere breathing causes the surrounding space to tremble at his presence, cracks were silently appearing around him as if just his breath alone was strong enough to rupture space. 

From this point of view, it was evident that he didn't go all out against Vit'hum. Speaking of battling, there's something unexpected happened. 

The Archaic Thousand Arms Hammer is now gone.

Well, not really gone. To be more precise, it transformed into something completely unexpected for Raven. 

The Archaic Thousand Arms Hammer dissolved and became a part of his Knightly Armament. It is now the golden wheel of arms floating behind Raven whenever he summons his Knightly Armament.

The transformation occurred due to the crown's interference. 

Back when he defeated Carl, the guardian of the 50th pocket dimension, Inos and Astrid showed up giving him new techniques and insights. And because he just cleared another checkpoint, he received rewards from the crown itself. 

It transformed the hammer and fused the Archaic Thousand Armed Deity to his own Knightly Armament. Now, with just a thought of his, he could materialized hundreds of Golden Arms to strike at his opponent.

But this created some problems. Astrid gave him the [True Destruction Manual] and [Grand Hammer Stances], but due to the sudden change, the latter technique became useless to him. 

This shouldn't have been a problem since even with the changes with his weapon, it won't be a problem for Raven to use his previous techniques to gain inspiration, but to his surprise the crown actually gave him a compensation.

He received a technique called: [God Slaying Palm], a tyrannical technique with overbearing requirements to practice. 

According to the creator of this technique, one of the requirements to practice this is to have at least a physique of an Immortal Champion. Without that, it is not advisable to practice this since the sheer force required to cast it would destroy one's flesh and bones.

Immortal Champion's Physique is something that one needs to establish in order to step to the Champion Realm. 

As one deepens their understanding with Laws, diagrams representing their understanding will eventually be condensed to their Energy and Energy Network, for Raven it is his Chaos Force and Chaos Force Core. Eventually, these Law Diagrams will be embedded to one's very own flesh, dissolving to their bloodstreams, nourishing their bodies and slowly but surely, transforming their physique into something stronger. 

They refer to this as Champion's Physique. 

Earning a champion's physique means that one officially shed their mortal coils. From that point onwards, they are no longer mortals. This means that anything that is considered harmful for mortals will no longer work on them. 

A Champion's Physique is their first step towards true Ascension. 

Of course, not everyone's born equal. Depending on one's aptitude, one's Champion's Physique might differ in grade compare to others. The lowest grade for Champion's Physique is Golden rank, followed by Platinum, Saint, Immortal, Perfected Immortal, Deity, and Perfected Deity rank Champion's Physique is the highest grade. 

To practice [God Slaying Palm], one has to have - at least, an Immortal Champion's Physique. Even by the Divine Realm's standard, this is hard to achieve. 

But with such a high requirement, it's safe to assume that the might of [God Slaying Palm] shouldn't be questioned. Though Raven's somewhat skeptical if this technique could really slay gods, he had seen gods dies before so it's not far fetched, plus this technique came from the Ancestral Divine Crown. That alone should ne enough to convince him. 

Possessing an Immortal Champion's Physique means that his physical body will extremely tough. At this stage, his body alone is stronger and tougher compared to most weapons available, which ultimately leads another point. 

Since the hammer is gone, and his goal is to get an Immortal Physique, he might as well abandon all thoughts of wielding a weapon. 

With an Immortal Champion's Physique, every inch of his body could be used as a weapon. Even a strand of his hair could be transformed into a high grade whip treasure through a skilled smith's hands. With that in mind, what's the use of weapons then? 

Plus, with the aid of the golden wheel of arms, he's not really losing out by not having weapons. A single golden hand containing the might of Destruction Laws and tyrannical brute force is already terrifying enough, not to mention a thousand of them. 

In the end, Raven's still Raven. A mere Immortal Champion's Physique is nothing but trash to him. His ambitions are high, even without him doing anything, with the foundations he built to himself, getting an Immortal Champion's Physique is only natural. But he's aiming for something higher. 

If he truly wanted to lord over the Divine Realm and return to his rightful throne, he has to aim higher. Before even trying to fight Abyssal opponents, his first goal is to establish himself in the Divine Realm. Such a thing would only be possible by attaining perfection on each step he takes. 

[A/N: It's ma birthday! Ew. I got older again. Ew. Lol. Anyway, I'll be shameless once more and ask you to give me presents!

Well you don't have to if you don't want to, I'm not forcing anyone. 

I'll probably receive your generosity next month through my paycheck, just as well, I'll have money for the holidays. Lol. 

Anyhoo, I can feel my stomach churning and my fat face blushing profusely from this amount of shamelessness. I'll stop now.

Thank's for your support as always, Enjoy!]
