The Hidden Secret

Malachi Zadroga nearly choked on his own blood, his expression darkening. "Brother, I've already crippled you. Why persist in this stubbornness?"

Braydon Neal's countenance remained impassive as he raised his left hand, summoning eight imperial paths before him—or more accurately, eight chains of order. 

These chains evolved into a new power, their permutations exceeding 10,000 in an instant, boosting Braydon's aura by a staggering 10,000-fold. 

The onlookers gasped in astonishment.

"That's incredible!" Lyndal Cadogan remarked cautiously. "The amplification of combat strength surpasses 10,000 times!"

But this was merely the beginning. 

As the eight chains of order transformed into 40,000 variations, Braydon wielded the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams in his right hand—a symbol of profound divination. 

With 1024 hexagrams amplifying his battle strength by 10,000-fold, Braydon's total enhancement surged past 20,000 times.
