The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 570 Less than forty days

Other than the thrill, there was also confusion in Cainʼs eyes as he turned to Anark. Although there was no description of the time needed for each level, he knew he had just completed a fifth of the steps required to enter the Foundation Stage of the Primordial Path. At this speed, he would finish before two months, which was way faster than the minimum two years Anark had declared.

The Primordial could see the confusion in Cainʼs eyes but, in the end, could only sigh.

”I am also stunned. I donʼt understand how you can be so talented, and it honestly doesnʼt make any sense, but it is a good thing, so I guess there is no need to overthink it.”

Although Cainʼs nature was not as easygoing as Anarkʼs, there was no need to look for the cause right now, especially since he had a deadline.

”Okay, since you have completed the Earth Attunement, it is time to start with the Water Synchronization,” After Anark uttered those words, the earth beneath Cainʼs feet vanished, replaced by a massive ocean that extended as far as the eye could see.

Cain did not hesitate before diving deep into the body of water, and once he was hundreds of meters deep, he let go of control of his body, allowing the currents to take the reins and guide him. Slowly, his heartbeat and breath began to synchronize with the currents, adapting to the oceanʼs calm and raging states.

Just like with the earth element, the separation between Cainʼs body and the water faded before the first day ended, and by the second day, he was already starting to display the effects of Water Synchronization, and the water essence began to flood into his body.

Soon, Cainʼs veins began to flow like water, developing a sense of fluidity and adaptability beyond the limits of a human body. Minutes before the ninth day ended, Cainʼs body had become one with the massive oceanic body, and he opened his eyes.

Anarkʼs eyes glowed as the body of water faded, and he gazed at the young man with utter amazement. Clearly, Cainʼs monstrous divine talent was not limited to the earth element, and he did not doubt the same would happen with fire and air.

”Letʼs move to the next one.”

Along with those words, a massive sphere of flames appeared before Cain. Its size was gargantuan, and the intensity of the fire was so high that just being near it made his skin burn. Yet, there was only serenity in his eyes as he calmly moved forward.

The closer he got to the massive sphere of flames, the more damage Cain took. It didnʼt take long for his skin to char and his hair to set ablaze, but even as he resembled a charred corpse, he continued moving forward. Soon, he reached the sphere of flames and, without hesitation, stepped inside.

Being near the fire had scorched Cainʼs skin, so being inside the fire should have set his insides ablaze, but that didnʼt happen. The moment Cain stepped into the ball of fire, the division between him and the flames faded, and he became one with it.

It didnʼt take long for the fire to not only cease harming Cainʼs body, but soon, its essence began to flood his insides. Under the amazed eyes of Anark, Cainʼs internal energy and vitality were invigorated, and his skin began to heal as his vitality was enhanced.

Cain reached the core of the fire and stood inside for eleven days before finally opening his eyes again. He moved his hands to the sides, and the massive sphere of fire split in half!

”Eleven days to achieve Fire Integration. The word ʼmonsterʼ is too soft for someone like you, boy.”

Anarkʼs words were full of admiration and awe as he once again was shocked by the simply overwhelming and impossibly high talent that Cain displayed.

Cain smiled but did not say anything as he was too engrossed in the state of his body. All the wounds he suffered from the battle against the Soul King were now gone, and he was in peak condition. Actually, he was even stronger than before, not just in his life foundation but in the intensity and power of his energy pools and Paths of Power, which had significantly benefited from this experience.

”Now, letʼs start with the last one of the Elemental Infusions.”

Anark had just spoken when a tornado capable of leveling a continent of the Old World manifested in the dimension. Its power was so immense that Cain felt the pressure of it trying to grab his body and make him revolve at hundreds of thousands of kilometers per hour.

Instead of resisting, Cain allowed the current to grab hold of his body, and he began to revolve around the massive tornado so fast that even Apotheosis Realm Masters would have a hard time keeping up with him.

The centrifugal force of the tornado generated overwhelming pressure on Cainʼs vital organs, and had it not been for his condition improved by the Fire Integration, he would have had a hard time remaining conscious.

Luckily for Cain, it only took a few hours for him to start to commune with the elemental force of the wind, and instead of being tossed around like a bag of paper, he began to move according to the gales as if he were part of them.

By the middle of the second day, Cain could not only mimic the movements of the wind, but its essence flooded into his body. There were no visible changes on the outside, but his agility and awareness improved exponentially.

At the start of the ninth day, the wind essence had already permeated every corner of Cainʼs body, and as he opened his eyes. He was able to stand at the highest point of the tornado, ignoring the power of the raging gales.

When Anark saw Cainʼs state, his eyes glowed, and the tornado vanished.

”Just nine days for Air Assimilation. You took less than forty days to finish the Elemental Infusion with all four elements. That should take years, even for the most talented Primordial. Boy, you are a monster!”
