The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 607: Eon and Wanton

Normal people did not know what was happening or why such ominous storm clouds covered the sector, but dread filled their hearts as explosions illuminated the sky and the ground beneath their feet trembled.

Luckily, the explosions and tremors that spread across the Silver Wave Sector did not last more than ten minutes, and soon everything returned to normal. At least for ordinary people since a massive upheaval was about to shock the rulers and masters of the Deus Behemoth Empire.

Back at the epicenter of those explosions stood Inquisitor Gigant and Inquisitor Amalia. Both were riddled with wounds and while not life-threatening, they were serious, making it hard for them to regulate their breathing.

However, Tazanʼs condition was much worse. The Ocean Lord of Ocean Wrath lay on the ground with a massive cavity in his chest, his right arm gone, and dark golden runes covering his body inside and out.

The fight would have been much easier if Inquisitor Gigant and Inquisitor Amalia fought with the intent to kill, but the Scarlet King commanded that they bring the Ocean Lord alive.

Even though that was dangerous, the words of the Scarlet King were nearly a divine decree by this point to the Scarlet Inquisition Force. It was already instilled in the minds of the Scarlet Inquisitors that as long as they followed the Scarlet Kingʼs word to the letter, everything would go according to plan. They did not need to think, only to act.

Eon Vulcano was currently on top of the sole volcano in Amazon, which was his personal cultivation ground. The immensely powerful high temperature and pure yang energy were exactly what Eon needed to improve his cultivation and training.

Although he was the emperor, the truth was that Eon spent most of his time training and focusing on his own problems. For most of the administrative matters and rulings, he left it in the hands of the Imperial Court. That was not odd as most emperors did the same.

An emperor did not need to micromanage the empire. They were chosen for their strength and their mission was to ensure the safety and order of the empire through their colossal might. And the empire pays them back with the most valuable and precious resources it can provide.

After handling the problems with the Umbra Clan and sending the decree that gave Cain his army and military authority, Eon went into deep cultivation. In his mind, no matter how many problems the Deus Behemoth Empire might face, as long as he was powerful enough to ensure its safety, everything would be fine with time.

Suddenly, Eon frowned as he opened his eyes only to see a bald and fat Deus Behemoth with sloth-like characteristics waving his hands at him.

”EON!”

The fat man did not dare to go close to the volcano, not due to fear of intruding into Eonʼs cultivation ground, but the fact that the temperature was simply too high for him. After all, he was only an Apotheosis Realm Master and not a very powerful one.

”Wanton?”

When Eon saw the man, he did not hesitate to break his cultivation stance and flew to him.

The man by the name of Wanton was no other than the Prime Minister of the Deus Behemoth Empire, and Eon Vulcanoʼs oldest friend. They met when they were very young and always supported each other.

Unlike Eon, Wanton did not come from a powerful background, and his cultivation talent was average, to say the least. Actually, if not for Eon granting him all sorts of supreme cultivation treasures, Wanton would have never become an Apotheosis Master.

However, while Wanton could not compare with Eon in terms of cultivation, he was considered to be one of the sharpest minds of the entire Deus Behemoth Empire. That, plus his hardworking nature, gained him the respect of Noble Families, the military, and commoners.

It was also due to this friend that Eon was able to relax and focus on his cultivation, only taking his role as the emperor at crucial points.

”Wanton, whatʼs happening? Is there a problem?”

Eonʼs eyes were sharp as he made that question. Since one of the Ten Great Bloodlines was practically crippled, the emperor knew there might be people who wanted to take advantage of the empireʼs weakness.

Wanton was having a hard time regulating his breathing as he ran to this place at full speed, but he managed to speak.

”Of course, we have a problem, you fool. I have tried to contact you for hours. The Scarlet Inquisition Force has uprooted Ocean Wrath. They destroyed their headquarters, ransacked their warehouse, and captured the upper echelon, including the Ocean Lord who turns out to be Sector Duke Tazan!”

Eon did not mind the way Wanton spoke to him. In public, they would fulfill their ceremonial roles, but in private, they interacted as they always had, as friends. Besides, his mind was currently in a state of utter shock after hearing such groundbreaking news.

”What!? It has only been six months, and heʼs already destroyed Ocean Wrath!”

Eon was truly shocked and found it hard to believe. Although he acknowledged Cain was a genius cultivator and a great schemer and investigator, uprooting the Tier 0 Dark Factions was too ambitious a goal.

Actually, Eon had expected Cain to fail, not because he had anything against the young man; on the contrary. If Cain failed, then he would be indebted to the empire, and Eon intended to have the young man repay that debt by enlisting in the Imperial Army as one of its Great Generals.

However, it seemed that Eon had underestimated Cainʼs military and investigative mind, and the young man might truly be on the path to success. After the initial shock, Eon turned to Wanton with an inquisitive gaze.

”Uprooting Ocean Wrath is great news. Whatʼs the problem?”

”Itʼs not just amazing news; itʼs incredible news. That young man has just performed a miraculous deed, and soon his fame and reputation will reach heights that not even Sector Dukes and military heroes could match.”
