Duality of Shadows-Chapter 1007: Deadly Pressure
All forms of life, whether in the universes or the underworld, were plunged into a state of panic. The entire cosmos was bathed in an intense golden light, a glow that seemed to be the only source of existence amidst the void. It was overwhelming, grand, and carried an indescribable weight.

Mortals felt only instinctual fear—a primal warning to hide. Beasts and animals retreated to their dens, while more sensitive creatures trembled in pure terror. Yet the cultivators were the ones most affected.
The Qi within them reverberated in turmoil, as if warning of something terrible. It was as if their lives had been seized by the cruel claws of a relentless demon. There was nowhere to run or hide. The heavenly laws, which protected and judged all existence, were being torn from their natural functions, converging entirely upon a single entity.
**BUZZZ!**
Suddenly, a deep, resonant hum echoed across the cosmos. Amid the infinite gold, tiny white and black stars began to appear, flickering timidly. They seemed insignificant amidst the ocean of golden light, scattered like grains of sand.
But then...
Those stars pulsed more intensely, defying the golden dominance of the firmament. Each pulse was an affront—a silent duel that shook the essence of the world.
In the World of the Higher Heavens, the whale opened his eyes and snorted, a sound laden with brute force and determination.
He gestured with unshakable authority. The Yin and Yang tattoos on his fists gleamed intensely. The remnants of the heavenly laws were subdued and covered by his indomitable power and will.
At that moment, the queen, who had already mastered 95% of the heavenly laws, widened her eyes as she felt the remaining portion slip entirely from her grasp.
The whale smiled wickedly. "Come!"
His roar echoed across dimensions, and everything around him pulsed in response. Time and space themselves were pierced as a galaxy of celestial runes emerged around him.
The runes spun around him, radiating a primordial brilliance. Alm and Bruno watched with nostalgic eyes. The sight of the runes brought forth memories, reminding them of that very same moment in the past when they broke mortal shackles and reached the immortal realms.
From that point onward, there were no more tribulations of the heavenly laws—cultivators had to absorb the celestial runes directly into themselves to advance.
*BOOM!*
The entire cosmos trembled with a quake of unimaginable proportions. All forms of life, in every corner of existence, raised their eyes to the heavens. No matter where they were, everyone could feel a dazzling brilliance growing.
It wasn’t visible to the eyes but was a force that touched their very souls. The impact was overwhelming, causing hearts to race uncontrollably.
This was a birth.
A pure and grand creation, shaped by the awakened will of the heavens, emerged to fight. At that moment, the suffocating fear that gripped everyone dissipated. In its place, a sweeping wave of hope and euphoria took over.
The whale exhaled slowly. The energy flowing through his body was indescribable, an immortal force that transcended anything they had achieved before. They had once been fish confined to a small tank.
Now... he was like an incomparable cosmic dragon, free and sovereign over the entire universe.
[Heaven’s Will Mandate is complete!]
[All Celestial Miracles are available for use without restrictions.]
[NOTE: Using your powers will cause a disturbance in the heavenly laws, detectable by other entities. You can still exchange points to use miracles. When used this way, your powers become untraceable and do not affect karma or the laws of the world.]
[The entire cosmic library of complete or incomplete Daos is now accessible!]
[The Akashic records have been opened for consultation. You can connect to any form of life and read their past and current memories. It’s also possible to access any knowledge accumulated by one or multiple consciousnesses when seeking celestial knowledge.]
The whale read the messages and sighed. Now that message was entirely automated—there was no more manipulative Heaven’s Will. Everything was up to him now.
Having the ability to use miracles without restrictions was incredible, but as long as the queen was alive, doing so without exchanging points was too risky. However, that was no longer the immediate concern.
**RUMBLE!!**
The entire World of the Higher Heavens threatened to collapse. The golden light covered every inch so intensely that it could easily melt a divine cultivator with its radiance.
That place was the embryo of the universes, the most resilient region of all. For it to reach such a state meant that the entire underworld and the universes were suffering an indescribable upheaval.
High above the whale, a radiant woman spread her wings and stared at him coldly. She had almost managed to dominate everything, but he stole the remaining 5%, stopping her from completing her mastery.
But...
A dark smile curled on her lips. With her current dominance, the whale had nowhere to run. All she needed was to rip the rest from him.
"Oh? Finally reached the immortal realms? Too bad it’s too late. This ends now."
She mocked, while the whale stared back at her coldly, without a shred of fear. Upon entering this world, he had planned his first counterattack, but everything had turned upside down too quickly. Now, after the chaos, his initial plan became clear again.
The will and hope from all forms of life in the universes and the underworld seemed to flow into him. His current power was indescribable, and even he didn’t know its true limit.
The whale glared at her and muttered, "Is that so? The more confident you get, the more satisfying this becomes..."
The whale gestured, his eyes pulsing with a grayish light.
**BOOOM!!**
An apocalyptic sound echoed. All the golden light was invaded by webs of gray energy that spread across the queen’s power. They were poisonous and sinister, corroding what was once considered sacred.
Her eyes widened as a colossal shadow manifested in the world—a gigantic tree, symbolizing the beginning and the end of everything, rose majestically.
This was no longer just the Law of Chaos. It was a perfect combination of Yin and Yang, representing the Birth-Law, merged with the Origin-Law and the full potential of the Omega.
Even without complete knowledge of the Omega, the queen felt that power with deep fear. It wasn’t inferior to her—she could clearly sense a mortal pressure looming over her.
’How... how is this possible... he just broke through...’ she thought in disbelief.
The entire world plunged into a duel of powers. The golden light clashed with the gray branches of the manifestation, forming a perfect battle with neither side gaining the advantage.
The whale took a deep breath. The power of the Primordial Chaos Pillar still depended on their potential and energy, and the gap of an entire realm compared to the queen was massive. Even activating everything, they couldn’t fight at full strength for long.
Since all heavenly energies had been absorbed, the manifestation could no longer remain active indefinitely. But by activating it in the immortal realms, the previous time limit of five seconds had drastically increased—they could now hold it for three minutes with ease.
To make things worse, one of their main offensive powers, the elemental calamity, depended on points, and they only had enough for three uses.
Additionally, Eclipsing Divinity could only be unleashed at full power once. It relied on the Origin-Law of their allies; afterward, its strength would drop to less than 20% of the original.
In short, the queen’s feeling was accurate. Alm and Bruno also sensed it clearly.
Even though they had just entered the immortal realm, a full realm below the queen, they now possessed power equivalent to hers... perhaps even slightly superior.
But the queen could fight without restrictions for a long time. They, on the other hand, had many limitations. Still, an overwhelming desire to fight consumed him.
"Oh? I don’t handle losses well. You made me run for my life before. Now I want to beat you until you’re unrecognizable."
The whale spoke slowly, tightening his grip on his spear. Suddenly, the world’s laws plunged into absolute chaos with his movement. There wasn’t much to think about anymore—he had to test this power with his fists, or he was going to explode.
