The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 265 : 99%

ʼThey are truly an unfathomable power.ʼ

Although the Essence Evolution Path of Power lacked the force to transform your body at a molecular level, the power someone could attain through the use of the Laws was incredible.

Cain felt really tempted by them, but he did not waste time on useless thoughts and focused on the task at hand. Before deciding how to allocate his time over the next month, he sent his Ego Wave into the starry gem to see just how strong Void State was.

Like with his other Saint Technique, when Cain sent his willpower into the starry gem, his mind was transformed into an illusion. However, this time there was not just a person but a small city with a road full of people.

The setting confused Cain, but he was able to find the man that engraved the technique into the starry gem. He was two and a half meters tall with a muscular body, long white hair, and pale skin that seemed never to have touched sunlight.

Despite that striking appearance, the man could walk by the side of the road, not calling the attention of anyone who did not stand directly in front of him. That was a flawless display of Void Breath, but the next part truly drew Cainʼs interest.

The manʼs eyes began to glow with silver light as he unleashed his Ego Wave, covering himself with it before taking a deep breath and completely shutting down his vital signs. Next, he began to walk among the crowd.

Since the road was so full of people and the manʼs body was so massive, not bumping into someone was near impossible. He did not even make an effort to avoid it, but that was where the shocking part came.

Even after bumping into his massive body, the people could not see him! The man stood before them, but they frantically looked around, trying to find the person they clashed with.

Cainʼs eyes widened, and he understood that the fourth level of Void State required more than just superb body and energy control. You needed a mastery over Free Ego that even he found hard to attain.

Void State did not have a requirement over your cultivation base, but the difficulty was greater than any of Cainʼs techniques, including Blood Hand.

After meddling among the crow, the man walked forward, and even after unleashing his Astral Wave, he was still invisible to everybody around him.

Cain could not take his eyes off the man, and he noticed how this one walked to a small group two hundred meters ahead. His eyes widened when he focused on the group since it was a Wave King surrounded by an entourage of Peak Wave Champions!

The Astral Wave that the tall man with white hair unleashed made it clear to Cain that this one was a Peak Wave Champion, yet it seemed he was ready to assassinate a Wave King in plain daylight while nearly a dozen people surrounded this one.

No one would believe that an assassination would be possible under those circumstances. Still, Cain saw clearly how the manʼs presence vanished to an even higher degree, and now the people that got in touch with him were also covered by his cloaking aura.

Just as he was less than two meters from the Wave King, the man made his Astral Wave explode before concentrating everything on his index finger and attacking.

The Wave Kingʼs eyes widened as his instincts reacted, but it was too late since the manʼs finger had already pierced the back of its head, right on the soft spot where the skull connected with the spine.

After the man finished the job, he took his finger from the Wave King, letting the body fall to the ground while the cloaking aura still lay on it.

All that the entourage of Peak Wave Champions saw was that the Wave King suddenly vanished. They even trampled over the body of their leader while looking for this one since they could not see it.

Cain could not hide the shock and awe he felt in his heart since that level of assassination technique was divine. It was not just Void State, but the man was able to hide every trace of killing intent and kept a cold mind the entire time.

”That is the essence of the Void State. Your presence becomes so weak that peopleʼs senses are unable to detect you, tricking their minds into believing you donʼt exist.”

A cold voice appeared behind Cain, and he turned around, seeing that the giant man had also managed to trick his senses. The next second the illusion ended, and he got access to all the knowledge on how to practice and master Void State.

Cain opened his eyes, and there was admiration as he remembered the white-haired man.

”He seemed to be in his mid-twenties and had already mastered Void State to its absolute peak. What a monster!”

Even if he did not have to protect Shura from a horde of assassins, Cain would have definitely made the mastery of Void State a priority.

”Four weeks from now, Shura will leave to undergo her Four Trials of Purity. No one will be dumb enough to go after her inside the Blood Sea, with the Blood Duke looking after her, so I donʼt need to worry.

I will divide my time between Blood Handʼs Fourth Level, Blood Refinement Artʼs Third Level, Void Stateʼs Fourth Level, and my Sonic Blade Fusion Cultivation Technique.”

Cain put his body and mind in a state of Embryonic Breathing to enhance his cultivation and reduce his need to sleep. After that, he ignored everything else and made sure the system only interrupted him if it was a message from the Blood Duke.

While Cain used every second he had to train, a massive festival encompassed the entire Blood Sea. From the young to the old, everybody had fun as the Blood Maiden and Blood Champions walked around the city and island, saluting people and improving their mood.

It was a truly joyful time, but everything had to come to an end, and after four weeks, it was time for the Blood Maidens to start the Four Trials of Purity, starting with the Purity of Body.

There were two dragon-like Wave Champions Beasts outside of Blood City, each holding several youths on their backs.

Thousands of people had come to see the Blood Maidens leave, and dozens of powerhouses were in the sky looking at both groups.

Everything was ready for their trip, or at least almost everything. Unlike the Blood Maiden from the Purist Path, Shura only had nine Blood Champions behind her since the last one had yet to arrive, delaying her departure.

The Blood Maiden from the Purist Path was a young woman with long black hair, blue eyes, a beautiful face, and a petite body full of vitality and energy. She focused on Shura and the Blood Champions before showing a friendly smile.

”Sister Shura, is there any problem with your Blood Champions?”

Although the young woman smiled, Shura could see the mockery in her eyes.

”Hmph, Ametria, I do not need your help. Since you are ready, then leave.”

Shuraʼ felt a great fury against Ametria, but the one she was outraged against was no other than Cain, who had yet to arrive.

”I donʼt want people to think I am taking advantage of your situation. I will wait with you.”

Ametria delaying her departure made things even more embarrassing for Shura, and she knew it.

The argument did not limit only to the Blood Maidens. There were two people high in the sky whose strengths allowed them to stand above everybody else.

One of them was the Blood Duke, and the other was an old man with bloody eyes, long white hair, a short body, and wrinkles all over his face. Despite the seemingly weak appearance of the second, his strength was high enough to crush mountains with a movement of his hands.

”Your judgment is flawed. An outsider can not be trusted.”

The High Blood Elder spoke toward the Blood Duke, and there was a disapproving light in his eyes.

The Blood Duke stared back at the old man, and while he showed nothing on his face, he was furious on the inside.

ʼThis damm brat!ʼ

He had made many concessions to Cain, but that did not mean he would allow a Wave Warrior to act as this one pleased and ignore his words. A message was sent two hours ago, informing Cain about the departure, but this one was nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly, the Blood Duke and the High Blood Elder looked toward the Blood Island as they felt a presence approaching their location at supersonic speed.

Cain finally appearing did not erase the Blood Dukeʼs rage since this one was arriving two hours late, but as he focused on the young manʼs body, a large smile appeared on his face, and all the anger was gone.

On the contrary, the High Blood Elder, who had shown no interest in Cain before, focused on the young man with cold eyes.

The reason for the reaction of both supreme powerhouses was that they could feel Cainʼs marrow-washing percentage, and it was over 99%!
