Chapter 1210 - What Made You So Bold! II
Forefather Julius looked at the glimmering figure of Daolord Osmont behind his hooded veil that covered everything, even his aura.
Three other Daolords were nearby along with three Lesser Primordial Beasts that came with 3 Tainted Ones, and with all them surrounding a single enemy...one might even think the roles of predator and prey were switched!
This was because Daolord had cooly sat in a meditative position after releasing domineering words- as if Primordial Beasts were not coming for him, as if Forefather Julius himself was not above him preparing for an attack that had at its basis the Daos of Extinction and Annihilation, as well as the laws of fire and death.
This was a combination that after millions of years, Forefather Julius felt was the one with the most possibility to form into a Nomological Edict, even if it was a Minor one.
But it had never become a possibility as he continued to search for what was missing, and the more he was able to utilize it and watch the extinction and annihilation of others as their Origins and Souls burnt to cinders...he felt like he could come ever closer to this Edict!
So he followed the commands given as he brought Daolord Osmont into a Space even he detested- a space filled with a type of essence that denied all existences except the Primordial Beasts and those under their protection.
A space that was no larger than a Universe, but its uniqueness was nothing to scoff at.
'The Edge of Reality…'
…!
The Edge of Reality! Another term was also known as Pandemonium! All of these were names that Forefather Julius and others that had come to know for a unique area filled with the Dark and repulsive essence that weighed on one like the shackles of countless Universes- the Essence that they unconsciously knew as Pandemonium as it wasn't one existences like them could traverse!
Its effects were more than just shackling beings as they felt the weight of innumerable Universes on them, with any Daolord brought into such a place being cut off to any atmospheric essence as only Pandemonium was around them. One's mana was drained constantly as their life-force would soon follow after they lost their protections, death being all but certain for those not under the protection of the Primordial Beasts.
This was because only Primordial Beasts could freely traverse The Edge of Reality- only they could traverse Pandemonium as it was them who had begun Devouring the current reality to give way for such a detestable environment to appear.
The more Cosmos they devoured, the more they gained the authority to nibble and devour at The Edge of Reality as Pandemonium spread!
This current space of Pandemonium they were in...was only a small portion that was brought over and spat out by a powerful Primordial Beast, and it was hidden in the folds of space near the Primordial Empire as very few were even allowed to know of it.
A Grand Primordial Beast more often than not occupied this space, and the one who oversaw this Pandemonium was sent to wipe out Halcyon of the House of Havenbreaker- Julius's mission being to work with the Tainted Ones and the Lesser Primordial Beast to erase a single Daolord Osmont.
A single Daolord...that was now situated in a meditative position as countless rays of light began to emanate from him!
As if he wasn't the prey in this whole situation!

Noah's mind was utterly calm as when surrounded by this many enemies, the first thing he did was cast [Endless Rays of Time] over a dozen times, changing the position of these rays to be releasing out with him at the very center- his body becoming illuminated as he covered any area around him with these rays!
One had to recall the ridiculous capability of this skill to understand the shocking reality that was about to play out.
[Endless Rays of Time](5/5) :: An area of effect ability that utilizes the Dao essence of Chronos, Reincarnation, Space-time, and Vitality, along with the laws of Life and Death to bring to fruition scorching rays that tear apart time itself wherever they cross. Enemies hit by the Rays of Time experience Body and Soul Degradation, Instantaneous Necrosis, -100,000% Movement and Attack Speed, and -100,000% Reduction to Physical, Daos, and Laws Resistance. Once the ability activates, it continues to rain down the rays of time until it is deactivated.
Once cast, it continues on until deactivated. The only thing that it required of the caster was to have the mana to back up its continuous casting!
Noah cast such an ability multiple times as he felt like he was surrounded by a circular deathly silver light that covered all of his sides, any enemies that wished to even come near him having to first go through these Rays of Time.
Any attacks that were sent towards him...also had to survive the endless rays of time before they could reach him!
It was a truly stupendous skill that when utilized correctly- it could essentially make Noah invincible to enemies of the same level for as long as they couldn't defend against the ravages of time...they would all but perish.
If there was a being stronger than him, or someone that had an ability similar to this that combined multiple daos and Laws- then they could defend!
If it was someone with Nomological Edicts- then they could defend!
But any others…
"Perish. You shall all perish."
RUUMBLE!
His voice was vibrant as it spread out with the countless rays that now illuminated Daolords, Tainted Ones, and Primordial Beasts alike.
"What made you all bold enough to think you could hold me or even threaten my life?!"
BZZZT!
The endless rays of time released gloriously as they shone over the existences nearby, their expressions drastically changing as within the circular protective layer of deathly light, Noah raised his hand as he waved it over the dark mass of essence all around him.
"Was it this...Pandemonium that made you all so bold?"
…!
Apart from the shock of Noah's brazen attack, alarm rose on their faces as he said such words casually, none of them knowing the tools Noah had on his hands as he had already discerned the environment around him with [Eyes of Truth] and [Understanding]!
The reality that would be enough to make one's skin crawl was vividly present before his eyes.
[Pandemonium] :: A cluster of essence born from the destroyed portion of Reality. Any existences apart from the Primordial Beasts and those under their influence are afflicted with a myriad of status effects. All Mana and Health Regeneration is nullified, Mana reserves are reduced by 50%, Health reserves are reduced by 60%, Movement, Cast, and Attack Speed are reduced by 100,000%...
A terrifying truth that would be enough to destroy any Daolord revealed itself to Noah!
But he...was no common Daolord!
