The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 1655: A friend in enemy lines

Cain could not suppress the wide smile that spread across his face as he admired the stable portal shimmering before him. By skillfully employing the Sundering Concept, he had torn space-time itself, creating a breach between two points very far away from each other.

Of course, if it was only a breach, only someone like Cain could traverse it as anyone else would be lost inside.

That is where the Laws of Space-Time came, weaving together the threads of reality to maintain the passageway. Even Cain himself felt a sense of amazement at the magnitude of power he had achieved.

Absorbing Sorcerer’s Inner Universe and soul dramatically enhanced his comprehension of all Laws, elevating them to an incredibly high level. Furthermore, the evolution of the World Tree had pushed the capabilities of his Royal Space-Time Supernova Eye far beyond his earlier limits.

He took a deep breath, excitement and determination radiating from him. “Let’s go!” Cain roared decisively, refusing to lose the momentum he had created.

Without hesitation, he marched forward, stepping boldly through the portal. Cain was fully aware of his role—he was the leader, the strongest, and the spearhead of the entire Gu Sect. If he wanted these people who barely knew him to follow him into the war, he needed to be the first one to cross.

Pation, Lancer, and Karter exchanged meaningful glances, nodding solemnly to each other. Their fists clenched tightly, eyes burning with newfound purpose and killing intent as they followed Cain through the portal.

Loyalty was hardly something born overnight, especially in their ruthless world, yet they clearly recognized Cain as their path to unprecedented heights. Through him, they could break free from the chains restricting their advancement for countless years.

Immediately after the three powerful Third Realm Masters stepped forward, the assembled Divine Cultivators surged forward eagerly. Their eyes shone vividly with greed and ambition. Each one already envisioned claiming valuable treasures in the Ouroboros System’s reward menu, hungry to earn points by slaying the enemy.

In less than ten minutes, the massive army that had hovered imposingly above the Gu Sect stood now less than five thousand kilometers from the heart of the Golden Star Kingdom’s capital city. Such a distance meant little for Divine Transcendent Masters, and it was virtually nonexistent for beings at the Prima Deity level.

Cain’s gaze narrowed sharply, eyes igniting fiercely with red flames as he carefully studied the formidable capital city stretched out before him. It was genuinely gargantuan, with immense fortified walls encircling its entire perimeter.

Intricately carved runic formations and powerful magic matrices decorated these defensive walls, their complexity and strength enough to instill caution and even fear into the hearts of powerful Prima Deities.

Within the city’s formidable perimeter, more massive walls subdivided the sprawling metropolis into several distinct sections, each protected and meticulously fortified. Countless structures filled the city’s expansive territory, ranging from residential buildings and markets to massive towers topped with crown-shaped constructs serving as potent energy nexuses.

At the city’s very center stood an imposing castle, the epicenter of the Golden Star Kingdom’s power. Cain could sense clearly the breathtaking formations and energy matrices built into its core. It felt powerful enough to withstand even the full might of a Prima Deity’s attack and remain standing.

A sharp, cold glint appeared in Cain’s eyes as he tightened his grip on the Shooting Star Dragon Halberd. “Even from here, my weapon could reach those walls instantly—perhaps even breach them in a single strike.”

As if sensing his dangerous intent, the city defenses activated simultaneously. An immense barrier emerged, enveloping the entire city instantly. Concurrently, the towers and the central castle began channeling massive streams of energy, visibly surging with intense fluctuations, clearly signaling readiness to unleash their offensive might.

Behind Cain, Pation, Lancer, and Karter adopted grave expressions, sensing the oppressive might emanating from the city’s defenses. Although individually they matched even the Golden Star Kingdom’s ruler in sheer power, attacking the enemy’s headquarters directly increased the difficulty significantly.

If they charged recklessly, the thousands of Divine Cultivators under their command could be obliterated before the battle had truly begun.

Cain, sensing their uncertainty, calmly addressed them, his voice steady and authoritative. “Stay here and wait for my signal.”

Without waiting for their acknowledgment, Cain marched forward alone, his expression devoid of fear or hesitation. Every formation and defensive matrix within the city instantly locked onto him, vibrating ominously with monstrous power. Yet Cain’s expression never wavered, reflecting nothing but confidence.

His eyes glowed brightly with a majestic golden hue, sharpening his perception until he could effortlessly track every subtle fluctuation within the city’s complex energy flows. This granted him an unmatched ability to react instantly, negating even the slightest threat the city might attempt.

Simultaneously, Cain’s senses detected a familiar presence hidden within the city’s innermost circle. A subtle smile emerged on his lips. “Good, very good,” he murmured softly. “In less than a year, he’s already secured a position within their core.”

This presence belonged unmistakably to a Royal Scarlet Leviathan—which could only belong to the Sky Sovereign, currently disguised within the Golden Star Kingdom as the Night Prince.

Through the psychic bond linking the Scarlet Leviathan with Cain’s own Lord of Conquest Leviathan, Cain swiftly sent out a command: “Report.”

Immediately, an overwhelming surge of detailed information poured into Cain’s consciousness.

Cain could vividly see, hear, and feel every detail the Sky Sovereign had gathered within the city. However, he could not directly perceive the Sky Sovereign’s thoughts. There was always the chance the Sky Sovereign had discovered something valuable not immediately apparent from the sensory information alone.

Cain quickly processed the immense influx of data, his eyes narrowing sharply as he identified several strategic locations, focusing intently upon one specific energy tower in the outer district. However, before he could fully complete his analysis, a massive surge of golden brilliance exploded from the central castle, instantly capturing his attention.

Two figures rose majestically from the castle’s core, enveloped in a dazzling aura of golden radiance that made the very sun seem dim in comparison. The sheer presence of these two beings was staggering, their power palpable even at such a vast distance.
