The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 421 Forming a faction (III)

”Excellent!”

The Scarlet King was pleased since this technique would allow him to gain access to Blood Energy again.

Blood Flame focused only on the generation of Blood Energy and did not temper his flesh and blood, which was perfect for the Scarlet King.

After all, the auxiliary body refinement techniques of the Essence Evolution Path would not affect him, as his body had already experienced more enhancement than any of those skills could provide. At least those beneath the Divine Ascension Rank.

After putting aside the Blood Flame Saint Technique, he went from one to the other as he analyzed them, and while they were all powerful and would allow him to express the power of his Laws, they were not mind-blowing. That was, at least, until his Ego Wave reached the last of the starry gems, and immediately, a sense of shock appeared in his eyes.

”Dark Blood God Phantom.”

That was the name of the Saint Technique, and as the Scarlet Kingʼs mind entered the realm of the starry gem, he saw a small man not even one and a half meters tall in front of a massive mountain range.

The man was an Atrox, and his body was covered in impressive armor. He waved his hand, making nineteen red spheres appear, and the next second, he infused his Essence Wave into them while harnessing the power of the Law of Darkness.

The energy in the spheres burst, generating the phantom of a dark demonic claw, but while it was majestic and carried a terrific aura, it lacked true power.

However, everything changed after the Atrox sent a torrent of Blood Energy into the phantom claw and galvanized it through the use of the Law of Bloow. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

The demonic claw grew larger and more monstrous as it became a true physical entity, no longer a mere illusion or amalgamation of energy.

The Atrox waved his hand, and the bestial claw followed, shattering the peak of the massive mountain, and that was only the beginning. The manʼs Essence Wave and Blood Energy burst as he sent even more into the spheres.

The spheres split into three groups, with two forming massive demonic bestial arms and the other a massive draconic head with sharp fangs. Following the Atroxʼs hand movements, the arms and head attacked the mountains, wreaking havoc on them.

Not only were they extremely powerful, but their speed and dexterity were something even Astral Wave King would find harder to match.

The Scarlet Kingʼs eyes narrowed as he saw the power to kill Late Wave Kings in the claws and maws. It was not over as the Atrox once again made his energy explode, as the power of the Law of Darkness and Law of Blood in the spell reached a new level.

The arms and head fused, forming the Dark Blood Phantom Godʼs upper body. Not only did this one move much faster, but it unleashed a dark domain that extended for dozens of kilometers, capable of devouring the blood of anyone inside too weak to endure its power.

In this form, the conjured beast had overwhelming physical power and dexterity. Still, it had even more weapons as the Atrox made his energy explode, channeling it all into the beast as this one opened its mouth.

”BOOOOMMMMM!”

A beam of dark red energy emerged, obliterating the mountain range with the power of a small nuclear weapon!

At this point, the illusion vanished, and the Scarlet Kingʼs consciousness left the starry gem. He could not hide his smile, which was full of thrill as the Dark Blood God Phantomʼs technique was terrific. Although it was incomplete, the third level was meant for Apotheosis Realm Masters!

”Truly Amazing. As expected from a skill that combines two Laws. Its power is phenomenal.” The Scarlet King immediately chose this technique as his main battle style.

Along with Blood Flame and Dark Blood God Phantom, the Scarlet King took a third Saint Technique named Shadow Swordsman. It harnessed the power of the Law of Shadows to move across the battlefield and unleash all sorts of mid and long-range strikes. While its brute power could not compare with Dark Blood God Phantom, it would be useful for maneuverability and as a secondary strike force.

Having taken care of that and with happiness in his heart, the Scarlet King took his eyes away from the starry gems and stared at the five Atrox.

”You can work for me. Give your blind and absolute obedience, and I will do my best to improve your battle power and talent. Or, you can die. Since I am in a good mood, if you choose the second path, I will make it painless.”

The ruthlessness and brutality of the Scarlet King left Old River and the others, bonafide killers, shocked. It was as if he honestly thought that killing them without pain was something they should be grateful for.

Ultimately, all five Atroxs had embraced the underworld and were no saints, so they immediately knelt and bowed.

”We will serve!”

Even Red Hawk, who had lost his right arm, shouted those words. No matter what he felt about this person, he did not want to die.

The Scarlet King was not surprised, and he nodded as he took the severed arm, approaching Red Hawk.

”Stand up.”

Red Hawk did as he was told, and the next second, he saw the man put his severed arm back in place before golden flames covered his body.

Surprise and awe appeared in the Atrox Wave King as he felt the severed arm begin to reconnect. After five minutes, the man returned to his throne, and the arm was back in place.

While there were still injuries, and Red Hawl would need a few weeks to fully recover, he was truly happy.

The stronger a cultivator becomes, the more powerful and precious their bodies are, and the harder it is to recover a missing limb. It is not odd for a missing limb to have a crushing effect on someoneʼs cultivation, stopping them from advancing further.
