The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 1892: Awe. Wonder. Reverence

A portal opened within the Everlife Continent, and through it marched figures of immense power. The Sky Sovereign, Alacuard, Pation, Karter, Lacer, and thousands of elite cultivators of the Scarlet Path had finally returned. Their footsteps echoed with power, their presences burning with divine might. The surge of life force, soul strength, and energy that radiated from them made it clear—they had advanced immensely in the past few months.

Their campaign across the Endlesslight Continent had been nothing short of brutal. That continent was infamous for housing numerous underworld organizations, home to millions of wicked and depraved cultivators. The Scarlet Path didn’t inherently oppose demonic paths—after all, they themselves practiced arts involving soul devouring, life force refinement, and power extraction from defeated foes. However, they held absolute disdain and zero tolerance for those who harmed the innocent or preyed on mortal populations.

For those cultivators—who slaughtered civilians, abused mortals, or inflicted cruelty without purpose—their only fate was to become fuel. Their bodies and souls were cast into the Scarlet Leviathans, refined into essence, and offered to the Scarlet Throne to strengthen the warriors of the Path.

And the bloodshed hadn’t been limited to just the underworld factions or rogue Divine Cultivators. Even Prima Deities from Lord-Tier organizations had been caught in the purge. Although Cain had issued a warning after his victory in the Endlessdeath Continent—that any Lord-Tier Prima Deities who encountered the Scarlet Path again would be given no mercy—many had gambled on having more time. They intended to extract as much wealth as possible before departing.

Their greed became their downfall.

They were hunted down like dogs, their bodies and souls torn asunder, and their essence fed into the Scarlet Throne. Yet, not every Prima Deity from those Lord-Tier factions met such a fate.

Seven other Prima Deities stepped through the portal behind the main force. One of them was Auramyth, the strongest Prima Deity of the Endlesslight Continent. His reputation was revered, and his battle style was known for its terrifying physical and spiritual prowess.

But Auramyth’s expression was one of utter defeat as he glanced at the Sky Sovereign. Though he had not been targeted for extermination, since his view of the world and actions were not incompatible with the Scarlet Path, not all of his comrades within the Luminark Enclave were as fortunate. Many of them were marked for extermination.

Auramyth had attempted to reason with the Prima Deities of the Scarlet Path, hoping for a diplomatic compromise. But he quickly realized the futility of that approach.

These warriors did not speak for themselves—they carried the will of the Scarlet King. There would be no negotiations. No mercy. And definitely, no compromise.

Without a word, the Sky Sovereign launched an attack. The firmament trembled as their battle commenced.

Despite being at the Late Prima Deity Rank in the Warlock Path and possessing a Late Mind and Body as One, Auramyth was overpowered.

The Sky Sovereign, although technically at a lower cultivation stage—having only recently evolved his Inner World into an Inner Universe and still at Peak Divine Transcendent in the Astral Rebirth Path—deployed a shocking battle power.

Thanks to his refinement through the Scarlet Leviathan and his relentless pursuit of evolution, the Sky Sovereign had advanced his Essence Evolution Path to the Second-Order Neo-Demon Talent. His Ego Eternal Path had grown even stronger. Though his Alter Ego Path had not yet reached First Order, it wasn’t far off, and with the constant infusion of psychic and spiritual energy from the Scarlet Throne, he was capable of deploying a godlike Liberación Total.

Given those enhancements, the result of the battle was no surprise.

The Sky Sovereign overwhelmed Auramyth in a one-sided display of dominance. Eventually, Auramyth lowered his head in resignation, as Alacuard and the other high-ranking warriors of the Scarlet Path defeated the remaining wicked Prima Deities, sending their bodies and souls into the depths of the Scarlet Throne.

”Ahhh...” Auramyth sighed heavily. Not only had he lost, but he was brought to swear fealty to his new overlord.

”If only I had accepted his offer back at the shores of the Endlessdeath Continent...” That bitter thought echoed through his mind as he began to move forward, when suddenly, everything stopped.

A colossal shockwave of cosmic power burst across the sky. The sheer force nearly knocked several Divine Cultivators from the sky.

Immediately, everyone’s eyes sharpened as they turned to the source.

The shockwave had come from the sky above the Gu Sect.

Thankfully, the army had arrived close to that region. Without hesitation, the full force of the Scarlet Path surged forward, flying in formation toward the origin of the disturbance. It didn’t take long before they saw it.

And when they did, every single one of them froze in place.

Awe. Wonder. Reverence.

Those emotions flooded their hearts as their eyes beheld the majestic sight above the Gu Sect. Suspended in the sky was a heavenly form—a radiant, incomprehensible celestial body. It was the very embodiment of duality: growth and destruction, evolution and annihilation.

To gaze upon it was to witness a force that could raise existence to godhood—or obliterate it so thoroughly that even memory would fade.

As their eyes adjusted to the blinding brilliance, they realized the truth.

It wasn’t a celestial body.

It was a person.

His body was scorched black, flesh and muscle burned away, even the bones charred and cracked. It was a horrifying sight, even to Prima Deities who had seen millions of years of war and suffering. The sheer intensity of the power that had passed through this being was unimaginable.

And yet—despite the catastrophic injuries, that body still lived.

Before they could process their shock, a miracle occurred.

The same divine energy that had annihilated his form began restoring it—stronger, purer, fiercer than ever before. The restoration was so absolute, so impossibly rapid, that it defied all known logic.

The Prima Deities around exchanged glances. They could feel the Star Power emanating from him—an energy so refined, so divine, that it bent the laws of cultivation around it.

The Sky Sovereign stepped forward, eyes wide with solemn recognition.

”Rank 12... Astral Supremacy Star,” he whispered.

Those words, simple as they were, left all who heard them utterly speechless.
