The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 565: Primordial Race (I)

There was shock, confusion, and disbelief in the Soul Kingʼs eyes as he could not understand what he just saw.

Cain Laurifer was by far the greatest talent of Aether, and even in a death end, this one should have chosen to go down fighting, and it did not make sense he would simply kill himself. Yet, that was exactly what happened.

Although everything told the Soul King that Cain would die in a matter of seconds, his eyes remained sharp since the boy seemed to be incapable of staying dead. He was ready to command Robert to push into the cyclone and blow himself to pieces, hoping that the explosion would reach the young man.

However, as soon as Cain entered the Mind Destroyer Cyclone, it went berserk, and the energy within it exploded, causing its size to grow and encompass the entire chamber.

”Pull back!”

The Soul King shouted as he observed the strange behavior of the Mind Destroyer Cyclone, moving back with Robert and Talon to avoid having their minds shattered by the power of the phenomenon.

The trio was fast enough to move several thousand meters back into the route, avoiding the power of the Mind Destroyer Cyclone. The next second, Talon emerged from the shadow of Robert and glanced at the Soul King, waiting for instructions.

Although the leader of the Umbra Clanʼs younger generation was surprised by the reaction of the Mind Destroyer Cyclone, there was no doubt in his mind that Cain was dead, as it was impossible to survive the power of that phenomenon.

The Soul Kingʼs knowledge led him to the same conclusion as Talon, and he knew that Cain should have perished, but he couldnʼt help but clench his teeth as he wanted to personally ensure that the young man had perished.

In the end, the Soul King took a deep breath as focus returned to his eyes, and he suppressed the chaotic emotions.

”Letʼs go. We still have to ensure the demise of the Solis Clan and Zanginis Clan members.”

Talon showed a sharp expression as he nodded. No one who knew about the relationship between the Umbra Clan and the Soul King could survive.

After one final glance at the Mind Destroyer Cyclone pushing against the edge of the chamber, the Soul King, Talon, and Robert made their way back to the Gray Road. Their plan was simple: return to the Astral Bloodline Chamber and ensure every Solis Clan and Zanginis Clan memberʼs death.

Cainʼs eyes were closed, and an expression of pain was on his face before he suddenly woke up. His eyes reflected the mental pain, but luckily, it was subsiding, and he was slowly regaining his focus.

It took Cain nearly a minute before his mind finally recovered from the pain, and he immediately assessed the state of his body. He was still badly wounded, but his vitality and Radiance of Life had stabilized his condition.

Only after making sure his body was fine did Cain observe the surroundings. Immediately, he frowned as there was nothing but darkness, and it seemed he was floating in an empty void.

ʼThe last thing I remember was flashing into the Mind Destroyer Cyclone, blacking out, and waking up here. Since I did not die, I assume this was where the mysterious entity wanted me to arrive, but what is this place?ʼ

”Good, you have woken up.”

Just as Cain was wondering what was happening, he heard a voice coming from the darkness. It was ancient, firm yet peaceful, and full of majesty not even the emperor of the Deus Behemoth Empire could compare.

Just the voice was impressive, but the next second, a sense of absolute shock assaulted Cainʼs mind and heart. Two eyes materialized in the darkness, and they were so massive that he could not see them whole, much less the rest of the face of this entity.

The eyes were full of sky-blue lightning, and the power in them made Cain feel he was in the presence of the most majestic force he had ever seen in his entire life. Not even the beam of light that sundered the dark army in the Dream World could compare with those eyes.

Luckily for Cain, as a Master of Order, his emotions were soon under control, and he overcame the shock of seeing such a creature.

The entityʼs eyes narrowed as he saw the speed at which Cain was able to overcome the shock, and a light full of respect appeared in them.

”Impressive, you can endure gazing into my will despite being a simple Physical Realm Life Form. However, your nature as a Reincarnator might have something to do with it. Still, it is an impressive feat, so well done, boy.”

Cain had just overcome the shock of seeing those imposing eyes, only to be stunned again by the fact that the creature seemed to know about his identity as a Reincarnator.

ʼWhat is happening, Apex?ʼ

No one should be able to deduce Cainʼs nature as a Reincarnator, at least not without inspecting his soul. However, Apex should be able to take care of any foreign entity that could try to intercept his soul sea.

ʼI do not know what is happening or who this entity is, but I can assure you no one has come into contact with your soul sea.ʼ

Apex might not help Cain with threats from the outside world like the Soul King, but he had always paid extreme attention to the young manʼs soul sea and ensured nothing disturbed it.

Cain frowned as he heard Apexʼs words. If the entity had not interacted with his soul sea, how could it know one of his greatest secrets?

Luckily for Cain, the entity noticed the confusion in his eyes and began to speak.

”You have been using my liver to purify your Astral Wave, the air in my lungs to refine your Essence Wave, the acids of my stomach to enhance your flesh and blood, and the bloodline radiation of my heart to improve your body refinement art. During those times, I was able to interact with your body and feel your Primordial Essence.”
