The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 579 Defeating the Soul King

It was true that now that the natural energy had faded, Cain had grown weaker, but he was still an extremely powerful warrior with unique abilities and monstrous divine talent.

Three typhoons of oceanic power came from Cainʼs right while the Astral Cultivators of the Umbra Clan attacked with their shadow blades, accompanied by a massive dark spear sent by their Essence Cultivator.

Cain made a sharp move to the left, taking control of two of the typhoons and redirecting their power toward the remaining Astral Cultivators from the Umbra Clan. The duo was not able to block the attacks, taking them head-on.

Had the Astral Cultivators from the Umbra Clan been at their peak, they might have been able to survive, but they were badly wounded, so that blast was enough to push their bodies beyond their limits and stop their hearts.

Two more Apotheosis Masters perished, but it came at a price as Cain could only raise his arms, and push his Astral Wave to its peak to resist the impact from the last typhoon and shadow spear.

”BOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!”

Cain was encompassed in an explosion of shadows and oceanic pressure that made his bones tremble, and if that was not enough, the next second a broadsword came crashing down toward his head, intending to split open his skull.

The Flow had already shown Cain the attack from the Soul King, so he was able to take a step back and raise his arms, using them as a shield against the broadsword.

The strike left deep lacerations on Cainʼs arms that reached all the way to the bone, sending him flying away, but even as his body was hurtled without control, he was still able to summon Slaughter.

The Soul King had already chased after Cain, trying to take advantage of the attack and unleash an onslaught when he saw the blade appear and how, mid-flight, the young man was able to charge the Holy Weapon.

”Quantum Laceration!”

Cain waved Slaughter, sending two spatial rifts charged with a monstrous amount of Blood Energy toward the Soul King.

Despite the Soul Kingʼs killing zeal, he had suffered too much damage during this battle, so if he were to take those strikes directly, he might lose the ability to fight. That was why he stopped his chase and raised his broadsword, intending to neutralize the spatial rifts with his oceanic pressure.

However, just as the spatial rifts were about to reach the Soul King, they made a sharp turn, one moving to the right and another to the left, bypassing the Dark King and going after an Essence Cultivator of the Umbra Clan and another of the Kraken Clan.

The spatial rifts were too fast, and the Essence Cultivators had used all their power in their last attack, so they were not able to counter them. Once the Quantum Lacerations reached their side, they burst with a might that the duo was not able to endure.

”BOOOOMMMM!” ”BOOOOMMMM!”

The Soul Kingʼs eyes widened as he saw those explosions burst to pieces the Essence Cultivators, and there was a sense of utter shock, as the sharp turn of the spatial rifts could only mean that Cain had pushed one of the core Laws of the Crimson Void Cultivation Technique to the Law Integration Rank!

To reach the Law Integration Rank in a Law and allow your spells to gain spirituality was an incredible feat and something that shocked the Soul King to the core as he could not understand how the young man achieved such monstrous mastery over the Laws.

The shock made the already unstable state of mind of the Soul King tremble once again, breaking his focus. Immediately his willpower burst into effect, but that short weakness was fatal as Cain had vanished from his perception.

ʼWhere did he go!?ʼ

The Soul King shouted inside his mind and did not have to wait for the answer for long as he saw Cain rising from the ground right behind the last two members of the Kraken Clan. The two Essence Cultivators were not able to detect anything until Slaughter severed their heads.

Cain was truly exhausted at this point and was having a hard time regulating his breath, but there was no sense of weakness in his eyes as he turned to the Soul King. Right now, all the members of the Umbra Clan and Kraken Clan were dead, and only the two remained.

The Soul King could see the weakened state of Cain and how he had truly depleted himself, but just as the thought that he could win appeared in his mind, he saw how the warriors of the Solis Clan and Zanginis Clan were flashing out of the Astral Bloodline Chamber full of smiles and killing intent.

Of course, the warriors of the Solis Clan and Zanginis Clan were badly wounded due to the radiation poisoning, but the Soul King did not trick himself and knew he had little to no energy left and all his vital organs were wounded.

”Dammit!”

The Soul King shouted one last time before turning around and flying away with what little strength he had.

Zamuel and Lore soon exited the chamber and reached next to Cain. The duo glanced at the Godslayer Human and there was nothing but respect and pure awe in their eyes as they could not believe just how powerful and extraordinary this one had become.

However, they did not waste time and soon focused on the road as the Soul King was flashing away. They were weak and wounded but they could not allow the man to escape, even if the one inside the Astral Bloodline Realm was an incarnation.

”Do not move. Just wait here and heal.”

Before Zamuel, Lore, or anyone else could go after the Soul King, they heard Cainʼs voice as he closed his eyes. The warriors of the Solis Clan and Zanginis Clan did not know what Cain was trying to do, but while they wanted to kill the Soul King, none of them dared to even question the words of the young man.
