The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 548: Breath of Cosmos Chamber

The group continued moving for nearly three hours, but Cain found nothing. Just as Zamuel was about to suggest taking a random path, Cainʼs eyes narrowed.

”There!”

As soon as they heard those words, the warriors of the Zanginis Clan and Solis Clanʼs eyes burst with fighting will. Zamuel and Lore kept their focus, as there was no guarantee the path was right, but less than thirty minutes in, smiles appeared on their faces.

What the duo saw was a horde of monsters similar to the Filth Monster. However, unlike those near the Pool of Purity with filthy necrotic connective tissues holding their bones together, these were encompassed in a thick gray fog.

”Gas Monsters!” Zamuel shouted with a smile, knowing these creatures roamed the roads leading to one of the six chambers named Breath of Cosmos.

Although the Solis Clan and Zanginis Clan members were excited to realize they were on a path to one of the six chambers, they immediately adopted serious stances, sealing their pores and generating a membrane around their bodies using their energy. y Virtual Library Empire

Gas Monsters were not only stronger than Skeletal Monsters, but they unleashed a pungent airborne substance that could invade the bodies of living beings, destroying their lungs and poisoning them.

Cain did not hesitate before waving his hand, unleashing the nine Spheres of Space and forming the Blood Nexus Domain, filling the ground with blood and covering the air with Blood Energy. Zamuel and Lore guided the group to form a battle formation inside the domain as they faced the incoming horde.

The Gas Monsters marched toward the living warriors, full of killing intent, and with them came a gray miasma that poisoned the air. Luckily, as soon as they entered the domain, the pressure generated by the Law of Space repelled the miasma.

The warriors from the Solis Clan and Zanginis Clan smiled as they saw that the Blood Nexus Domain managed to repel the strongest tool of the Gas Monsters. Without wasting time, they attacked with all they had.

Cain kept the domain in place as he flashed toward a group of Gas Monsters that was making its way toward one of the Essence Cultivators from the Solis Clan. He appeared before them and waved Slaughter, generating a rift in space and unleashing an explosion of Blood Energy.

ʼAwesome!ʼ

That thought appeared in Cainʼs mind as he felt how fast his Essence Wave coursed through his body and how powerful his spells were now that a completely purified force fueled them.

The higher the purity of the fuel, the more power it would release upon ignition. This thermodynamic truth was just as valid for spells and skills.

Although thrilled by the speed and power of his spells, Cain remained focused. After bursting those Gas Monsters to pieces, he vanished only to appear on the ceiling of the Blood Nexus Domain and destroy the incoming monsters.

The group took nearly an hour to take care of this horde of Gas Monsters. Once they were done, they searched inside their skulls and dug out the gems before Cain made all those broken pieces of bones covered in poisonous fog disappear.

The warriors from the Solis Clan and Zanginis Clan were all curious about what Cain would do with them, but everyone had their secrets, so they did not bother the Godslayer Human with questions and just moved forward.

Ten minutes later, a crossroad appeared, but Cain could guide them to the right path, and it didnʼt take long for them to find another horde of Gas Monsters. Like before, the group relied on Cainʼs Blood Nexus Domain to neutralize their miasma abilities before taking them down.

After nearly ten hours of fighting and killing dozens of thousands of Gas Monsters, the group saw a nebulous light at the end of a tunnel. The next moment, they found themselves in a massive chamber hundreds of kilometers wide and long.

The walls were covered in a strange substance that glowed with nebulous light like a starry sky, and in the middle of the chamber was a massive bifurcation. The Breath of Cosmos Chamber was visually stunning, but what truly mattered for the Solis Clan and Zanginis Clan warriors was the starry, nervous gas that flooded the chamber.

The name of the gaseous substance that covered the Breath of Cosmos Chamber was Essence Astral Air. It was able to reinvigorate warriors and improve the oxygen in their blood and tissues, helping them recover from all wounds and filling them with energy. However, their main goal was to flood the Evolution Core, where they would assimilate into the Essence Star.

Since that was the case, it was no wonder that the Essence Cultivators from the Zanginis Clan and Solis Clan would be the happiest.

Zamuel and Lore were about to distribute the guarding positions when their eyes narrowed. Cain noticed the look in the duoʼs eyes and immediately noticed the reason as he turned to the side.

The trio looked to a different path from the one they used to reach this place, and the next second, a group of ten beautiful women with cold energy covering their bodies emerged from there.

Cainʼs eyes narrowed as he saw the warriors from the Artik Clan emerge. He did not look down on them just because they were all women. For one, the Artik Bloodline only manifested in women, and each of the ten that arrived was a warrior capable of leveling cities with their bare hands.

Tension presented itself as the leader of the Artik Clan stared at Zamuel and Lore. Each of them was just as powerful as her, so if a battle arose, it would be a problem.

She was extremely beautiful, with shining blue hair and a cold aura. Her eyes were crystal blue, matching the robe covering her figure, and did not distract from her crystal wings.

”The amount of Essence Astral Air is more than enough for all of us. I donʼt see a reason why we should not share.”

Zamuel and Lore looked at each other for a moment before turning toward Cain. Even though both led their groups during the battles, it was Cain who led them to the chambers, and he was also the one with the highest authority granted by the Patriarchs of both clans.

ʼSun Avatar, how should we proceed? Although we could defeat Amara and the rest of the women of the Artik Clan, it would not be an easy fight, and there is indeed more than enough Essence Air for all of us.ʼ

Cain stared at the woman for a moment before nodding to the duo. There was no reason to fight when there was no benefit and only downsides.

”We agree to share the chamber with you, Amara.”

Zamuel nodded to Amara as the warriors from the Solis Clan and Zanginis Clan went to the right side of the Breath of Cosmos Chamber.

Amaraʼs eyes narrowed as she noticed how Zamuel and Lore behaved around Cain. She had heard about the Godslayer Humanʼs prowess and knew this one was powerful, but it took more than just brute power to make mighty and proud warriors like those two follow him.

ʼInterestingʼ

The woman stared at Cain for a moment before guiding the members of the Artik Clan to the right side of the chamber.

Zamuel and Lore assigned two members each from the Solis Clan and Zanginis Clan to guard the Breath of Cosmos Chamber entrances while the rest of the group went to train. Those selected to guard were Astral Cultivators, as Essence Cultivators would solely focus on their cultivation.

Cain had ascended to the chamber ceiling as he closed his eyes. He took control of the energy in his surroundings using his Ego Wave and couldnʼt help but frown as he felt the immense density and weight of the Essence Astral Air. His willpower was strong enough to raise a building from the ground, but it took all its power to send a single stream of the nebulous starry energy into his body.

He immediately felt his body weighted down as he took control of the streams of nebulous starry fog coursing through his flesh and blood, filling it with vigor before coalescing into his Evolution Core.

The Essence Star was constantly revolving with ferocious power as it eagerly devoured energy, and the fate of the stream of Essence Astral Air was no different. Despite its size being not much greater than an egg, the devouring power of the Essence Star was enough to drain an entire river in minutes, but the small stream of nebulous starry energy seemed like it would take a long time.

Cain did not lose focus as he continued bringing streams of Essence Astral Air through his body and into his Evolution Core. It took nearly a day for him to fill the space inside his Evolution Core, and he felt his body weigh tons but was able to maintain control thanks to his robust foundation.
