The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 383 From energy to matter

”Wood Law Teleportation! Dammit!”

The shock of Cainʼs power distracted the Azure King long enough for Krane to use his trump card, merging into one of the trees and teleporting using the vegetal life of the area.

Krane was no coward, but he understood that the only outcome of staying behind would be his death. So, he chose to flee and seek help, a wise decision that Cain would have completely supported.

Although the Azure King was annoyed, there was no fear in his eyes regarding the fact that the middle-aged man could reveal what had happened here, as if he knew that no information could escape his domain.

ʼIt will take time to find him. First, I will kill the boy, and then I will take care of the witnesses.ʼ

The Azure King managed to calm his mind as he charged his sword with Azure Lightning. Cainʼs willpower was surprising, but even an Ego Wave at the Third Realm was insufficient to bridge the gap between their powers.

Cainʼs Ego Wave was dozens of times stronger than before, but using it to enhance his Astral Wave would cause his body to explode from the excessive energy. Moreover, attacking by manipulating matter might be enough against an Apotheosis Realm Master but would not suffice against a Divine Ascension Cultivator.

”Azure Lightning Tempest!”

The Azure King summoned a storm of ethereal blue lightning bolts that struck from above, all aimed directly at Cainʼs barrier.

Cainʼs eyes remained empty as he seemed not to notice the barrage of azure lightning bolts. He continued to stare at the corpse in his hands as the red force field emanating from him grew stronger and stronger.

A frown formed on the Azure Kingʼs face as he saw how the red Ego Wave became increasingly powerful, constantly reinforcing the shield. His golden Ego Wave burst with power, enhancing the strength of his spells and the speed at which the bolts were fired.

”Crack!”

A large crack appeared in the shield protecting Cain, allowing a stream of azure lightning to reach him. While the shield immediately healed, the power of the lightning still scorched Cainʼs body.

Cainʼs mind did not seem to register the pain of his seared skin, but he was not the only one affected. The lightning also reached Azlanʼs corpse, which immediately vaporized.

As the boyʼs form transformed into ash and slipped from his hands, Cainʼs entire body began to tremble, and he immediately turned to the figure in the sky responsible for it. Immediately, his Ego Wave began to fuse with his Astral Wave, causing the latter to grow immensely powerful.

When the Azure King felt Cainʼs gaze upon him, a sense of dread assailed him. But as he saw the Ego Wave fuse into the Astral Wave, a mocking smile appeared on his face.

”Hmph, what is the point of all that talent if you are just a foolish child.”

The Azure King was ready to witness Cainʼs body explode, as it should not have been able to contain such an immense amount of energy. But then, something shocking happened.

The immense pillar of Ego Wave fully fused with the Astral Wave, but instead of coursing through Cainʼs body, it began to solidify on the outside, forming muscle fibers.

Transforming your Wave into something else was nothing impressive since any Wave Warrior could do it, but what Cain did was something completely different.

Cainʼs Ego Wave fused into his Astral Wave and began to solidify that energy, generating a qualitative change in its nature, something that the Azure King had never seen before.

Dread filled the Azure Kingʼs eyes as he saw the dark purple muscle fibers covering Cainʼs body, increasing his height to four meters and transforming him into a humanoid monster. The only part visible of Cain were his eyes, bursting with more and more red light. Explore stories at My Virtual Library Empire

”¡AHHHHHHH!”

Once the last layer of Astral Wave muscles had covered Cainʼs body, he unleashed a red sonic scream that spread for hundreds of kilometers. Ordinary people immediately fainted and fell to the ground, as did Wave Warriors and Wave Champions.

That sonic cry did not carry sound waves; instead, it was Cainʼs Ego Wave mutated into a sonic attack. Those with weak willpower simply fainted as their minds attempted to protect them.

However, the Wave Kings in the Azure Castle were not so fortunate, and all screamed in pain as they clutched their heads, feeling as if their skulls were being cracked open. Their willpower was strong enough to keep them conscious, but the clash left them severely wounded.

The Azure King felt his mind trembling and blood leaking from his ears. Thanks to his cultivation, it only took a moment to regain control, but when his focus returned, utter dread filled him as the dark purple monster was right in front of him!

Despite his appearance, the Azure King was an old monster that had lived for over a thousand years and had survived countless life-and-death scenarios. Yet, the golden light in his eyes quivered as he faced the red light in the monsterʼs eyes.

There was no rational thought in those eyes, only a sea of rage and murderous intent that kept growing stronger and determined the Azure King as its target!

The golden light in the Azure Kingʼs eyes finally stabilized as he clenched his teeth and tightened his grip on his sword. He flashed back at a shocking speed, creating distance between him and Cain before swinging his sword.

”Azure Rupture Shield!”

The Azure King condensed his energy into the sword, causing a rupture in the very fabric of space. These cuts formed a net in front of him that should hold against any attack, damaging anything that came into contact with it.

Using a defensive move against a seventeen-year-old felt humiliating, but the Azure King focused on his next move.

ʼThe shield will buy me some time to strike back with strength.ʼ

That thought was short-lived as the Azure King watched Cainʼs dark purple arm pierce through the net. There were deep cuts in the Astral Wave muscles, but they managed to resist before landing squarely into the chest of the Divine Ascension Cultivator!
