The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 758: Fire Tribulation (V)

Shock, awe, terror, and admiration appeared in the eyes of all the powerhouses that witnessed the glorious golden sun in the sky. The power within it was simply formidable, and its nature seemed to embody the quintessence of the Law of Fire, generating forces that even those who follow the Essence Evolution Path of Power could not understand.

Some of the powerhouses felt the power of a thousand nuclear explosions happening simultaneously inside that golden sun. In contrast, others remember the first time they felt the warmth of the sunlight on their faces. It was a simple transcendental experience.

Cain felt the golden sunʼs might clearer than everybody else, as its intent was focused on him. It was an incredible form of power, and the mystery of the Law of Fire seemed to be present in every ember of fire that constituted it.

The power of the golden sun was monstrous, yet it did not make Cain feel threatened, and the reason was simple: it was not attacking him.

Cain immediately understood the last phase of the Fire Tribulation. The golden sun was the purest form of the Law of Fire that Aether could unleash, and it challenged him to go inside and face its power.

The golden sun would not attack him, and if he refused to move forward, the Fire Tribulation would come to an end.

Cain had already gained immense benefits from the last three phases. His mastery over the Law of Fire reached an incredible might, with his body and energy experiencing a thorough purifying and tempering and his Essence Star going through many cycles of destruction and reconstruction. And if he went into that golden sun, nothing assured him he would come out alive.

A bursting red light appeared in Cainʼs eyes as he pushed his Law of Fireʼs mastery and Primordial Pathʼs Fire Integration to the limit before flashing toward the golden sun and piercing it the next second.

The Collapsing Lightning Duke, First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, and all the other powerhouses saw how Cain went into that massive golden sun that they would not even dare to get close to. Although many were shocked and could not see the Scarlet Kingʼs body, since the Fire Tribulationʼs power remained in place, he was still alive.

Hours passed, and the powerhouses could do nothing but wait as they gazed at the golden sun. In the fifth hour, their eyes narrowed as they saw how the golden sun was shrinking. It was only a few centimeters, which was insignificant for its massive size, but it proved that something was happening inside.

As the hours passed, the rate at which the golden sun shrank down grew faster and faster. By the twenty-ninth hour, there was nothing left of the golden sun, all its power seemingly having been absorbed by the young man in the sky.

Cainʼs face was absolutely serene, and there was not a single sign of damage or wounds on his body. All the injuries he had received faded after absorbing the power of the golden sun. The moment he opened his eyes, his power flooded the area, and his pupils now glowed with a golden flame.

Cain glanced at his body and felt the millions of tiny runes engraved in his flesh and bones. He then gazed at the scorched ground by the power of the Fire Tribulation, and as he waved his hand, the power of the Fire Law was reignited.

However, this time, there was no more destruction; instead, a vibrant life force permeated the earth. While the fire was a force of destruction in its most basic state, it was also a power capable of granting life.

A wide smile appeared on Cainʼs face as he saw his current control over the Law of Fire, and a sharp light appeared in his eyes as he felt a change in his constitution.

ʼSystem.ʼ

The Absolute Life Form System immediately understood Cainʼs request and began the analysis.

Please grant a name to the new Lineage.]

Cainʼs eyes widened as he realized that completing all the phases of the Fire Tribulation allowed him to evolve his Lineage.

The power of the Law of Fire runes engraved in him generated a change that reached all the way to his genome, which was not really surprising. While the easiest way to obtain a Lineage was through a bloodline, that was not the only way, and that was especially true for those who followed the Essence Evolution Path of Power and engraved the power of the Laws into their bodies.

A Lineage is, in essence, a unique constitution, and imbuing the power of the Laws into your flesh and blood could generate such an effect. Since it was not a new bloodline, his Solis Bloodline remained his main bloodline, and the Fire Law synergized with this one, granting Cain a new Lineage that had the best of both powers.

A smile appeared on Cainʼs face as he named his new Lineage.
