The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 551: Fight inside the Void Fire Cauldron (I)

Cainʼs eyes glowed with golden light as he used The Flow to look for new energy fluctuations. The group kept moving for several hours, but none grew impatient since they all had faith in Cainʼs abilities. If he had not directed them to a path, it was because all those they had seen were dead ends.

After nearly nine hours of travel, Cainʼs eyes narrowed as he noticed one of the paths had energy fluctuations and guided the warriors of the Solis Clan and Zanginis Clan in.

At first, the warriors were happy as they were sure they had found a path to a new chamber, but it did not take long for them to frown as they saw no monsters on their path, which were usually signs of a chamber in the proximity.

Zamuel and Lore were ready to go through their records to figure out whether they were on a good path when suddenly Cain shouted.

”Pull back!”

Cain made his energy explode as he took out Slaughter and sent two massive bursts of blood energy to the flanks of the duo. Just as Zamuel and Lore were about to ask about Cainʼs actions, their eyes widened when they saw the walls beginning to tremble.

Zamuel and Lore did not hesitate to pull back just as Cain said, and as they did, the wall began to move with shocking speed and momentum, trying to crush the duo. Luckily for them, the bursts of Blood Energy managed to delay the walls for a fraction of a second, giving them enough time.

However, that was just the start since the walls around the rest of the warriors of the Zanginis Clan and Solis Clan also began to tremble. Although the group was surprised, they were all experienced cultivators and recognized the phenomenon, so they used all their power and skills to retreat.

Cain continued sending bursts of blood energy and was not alone since Zamuel, Lore, and all the others also unleashed explosions against the walls to delay them as they moved back. They were using all their power, but slowly, the walls were catching up to them.

Luckily, after ten minutes and pulling back over five hundred kilometers, the walls stopped trembling, and the group could relax. They were all tired as they were forced to use their energy to hinder the wallsʼ crushing power.

However, other than exhaustion, there was also excitement in their faces, particularly in those who followed the Astral Rebirth Path of Power.

The Crushing Walls were the sign they were nearing the Void Fire Cauldron. It is one of the Six Chambers, and just like the Breath of Cosmos Chamber was designed for Essence Evolution Cultivators, this one provided immense help to those who follow the Astral Rebirth Path of Power.

Although no monsters were guarding the path to the Void Fire Cauldron, reaching it was much more troublesome as the strength of those walls was much greater than any horde of Filth Monsters or Gas Monsters, and they were nearly impossible to detect their movements.

Once again, the members of the Zanginis Clan and Solis Clan turned toward Cain with awe and surprise as he could predict the motion of the Crushing Walls before anyone else.

Cain was able to detect the movement thanks to The Flow, but that was the limit of his abilities, and at most, his attacks could slow them. They would have to figure out a path through the Crushing Walls if they wanted to reach the Void Fire Cauldron.

Zamuel and Lore had prepared for this, and both waved their hands as they took objects from their space rings. The warrior from the Solis Clan took a small sphere of what seemed to be silver glue, while the man from the Zanginis Clan took a set of small metallic pillars.

”Everybody get ready. The Crushing Walls react to the presence of living beings, and the more there are, the stronger their power, so we must move as fast as possible.”

Zamuelʼs voice made everybody adopt a solemn expression as they made their energy pool burst with everything they had and activated their fastest spells. Then the man put the orb of silver glue on the ground, and this one moved on its own, covering the walls for thousands of kilometers forward.

”¡BOOOOOOOM!”

In the next second, all of the warriors from the Solis Clan and Zanginis Clan burst forward, generating an explosive echo as they advanced at an overwhelming speed. Immediately, the Crushing Walls reacted to their presence, but the silver glue stopped their movements, delaying them.

”THRRRRR!”

The twenty warriors had advanced less than eight hundred kilometers when the sound of tearing echoed, and they saw how the silver glue began to rip under the power of the

Crushing Walls. At this point, Lore sent forward the silver pillars, and they not only grew in size but became a spider web that connected through every single wall, resisting the power of the Crushing Walls and keeping the passage open.

Although the metallic web pillars were incredibly durable and could bear overwhelming pressure, they did not last long. They soon began to break, making the warriors from the Zanginis Clan and Solis Clan grow tense and push their energy to the limit.

Cainʼs speed was not his forte, but thanks to his mastery over the Law of Space, he was able to move faster than most of the warriors. Just as the Crushing Walls were about to catch them, they saw a light at the end of the tunnel and pushed forward, only to witness a massive sea of what seemed to be boiling bronze liquid.

Everybody smiled as they had managed to reach the Void Fire Cauldron, and in front of them was the Void Fire, an extremely powerful liquid that could be used to temper the flesh and blood, helping any type of body refinement technique and especially useful for Astral Rebirth Cultivators, even more for those that use yang and scorching energy like the Solis Clan.

However, the group immediately adopted a solemn expression as they saw that there were already people here, and not just one group but warriors of two of the ten Great Bloodlines.

Cainʼs eyes narrowed as he stared at people with a barbaric appearance and dark fur and also those that seemed to have magma running across their veins from the Vulcano Clan.

ʼHow troublesome.ʼ

Void Fire was even scarcer than the Essence Astral Air, and the people of the Ursa Clan and Vulcano Clan had already occupied the entire chamber, so it was clear they would not be too keen on allowing two more groups to appear and displace them.

As Cain expected, the warriors from the two clans stopped training as they emerged from the river of boiling liquid bronze and approached the group composed of the Zanginis Clan and Solis Clan. Although the people of the Ursa and Vulcano Clans were imposing, Zamuel and Lore showed no fear as they stood straight and gazed at the leaders of the groups.

”Zamuel, Lore.”

The one who spoke first was a man from the Vulcano Clan. He was very tall with dark hair and ash skin, and by his facial features, he resembled Eon, the emperor of the Deus Behemoth Empire.

”Gordon, Sima.”

Zamuel responded to the man from the Vulcano Clan and also saluted the woman from the Ursa Clan.

Gordon and Sima stared at the group. Their instincts told them these warriors had grown very powerful over these short few months, meaning they had already gone through a chamber and managed to reach this one.

The Vulcano Clan and Ursa Clan did not have any form of animosity but were not good friends either and only acted as one now as they faced the combined might of the Solis and Zanginis Clan.

Gordon and Sima glanced at each other before the woman spoke imposingly.

”We are willing to let those that follow the Astral Rebirth Path of Power into the Void Fire with us, but the others will have to wait until we finish.”

Zamuel and Lore glanced at each other as they heard that. Although the Void Fire would be helpful for the Essence Cultivators, its true power was for Astral Cultivators.

Although the Void Fire would have been diluted by the time the Essence Cultivators from the Solis Clan and Zagninis Clan would use it, it should be enough for them so they could wait.

However, before the duo could even deliberate, Cain took a step forward and gazed at the duo with coldness.

”No deal. All of us will use the Void Fire.”

Cain could not allow the Void Fire to dilute as he needed to use its full power to train his body if he wanted the chance to push his Astral Cultivation to the Middle Wave King now instead of five months later.

Although he could have tried a diplomatic approach, the pressure of the Kraken Clan made him throw away useless words and get straight to the point as he faced Gordon and Sima.
