The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 801: Marching into the Astral Sea (II)

After Prime Minister Minxet left, Cain turned his attention to the Collapsing Lightning Emperor.

”This will take several days. You should return to the surface. Minxet will handle the political and logistic aspects of the empire, but you need to be visible and continue to improve your power. It would be wise to start collecting treasures so you can generate a new Tier I Rebirth Mark.”

The Collapsing Lightning Emperorʼs eyes sharpened at the mention of the Rebirth Mark. He had already reforged his Flesh Calamity, but there was still the Bone Calamity to address. According to the Scarlet Kingʼs wisdom and insight, a Hidden Calamity would be unlocked after going through the two True Calamities.

Now that he was the Emperor, his reach was immensely high, and the Collapsing Lightning Emperor was confident that obtaining evil treasures from across the entire Gaia Continent would not be too complicated.

”I will, my King.”

The Collapsing Lightning Emperor bowed towards Cain before exchanging a meaningful glance with the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar and leaving the room.

Cain then focused on the Tier Zero Bio-Genetic Chamber, diligently working. He acted on the old Peak Divine Ascension Masterʼs genome, fixing genetic flaws generated due to feeble life force.

The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar remained focused on the old man, unable to hide his awe as he saw how the feeble vitality and life force began to grow stronger. In just a few hours, the old Peak Divine Ascension Master transformed from a frail old man on the brink of death to an elder with many years ahead.

The old Peak Divine Ascension Master was just as shocked as the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, feeling the vitality coursing through his veins. Yet, things were far from over as a force lifted him from the Tier Zero Bio-Genetic Chamber and wrapped him in a red cocoon.

”I managed to restore some of your life force and vitality, giving you another two hundred years of lifespan, but that is too feeble for your body and Sacred Organs to endure the pressure of a cultivation breakthrough.”

Cain conjured a 22 Revolution Flame the next moment. Although most of his time inside the [Samsara Arsenal Module]ʼs First Layer was focused on Genetic Coding, he also made some advancements in Tribulation Enhancement.

He released it inside the red cocoon, allowing it to flood the old Peak Divine Ascension Masterʼs body inside and out, triggering a response from the worldʼs energy. His eyes sharpened as he pushed his willpower to the limit.

While Cain could create a 22 Revolution Flame, his success percentage for a 22 Revolution Refinement was less than 100%, so he needed to push himself to the limit unless he wanted to spend a fortune in Destiny Force.

It would have been easier just doing a 21 Revolution Refinement, but that would not have been enough to push the old Peak Divine Ascension Masterʼs foundation to the breakthrough point.

”Focus on circulating the energy across your body as fast as possible, and do not let it stagnate. Assimilate as much as you can as fast as you can.”

The old Peak Divine Ascension Master saw the seriousness in the Scarlet Kingʼs eyes, and his eyes burst with flaming willpower as he prepared to push himself beyond his limits, clinging to this lucky chance with all his strength.

Soon, waves upon waves of world energy flooded the room, all charging into the old Peak Divine Ascension Master, making him feel he would explode at any moment.

Thanks to Cainʼs powerful Ego Wave and the old Peak Divine Ascension Masterʼs willpower, the 22 Revolution Refinement carried on without flaw.

The old Peak Divine Ascension Master marveled at the power coursing through his body, feeling the purity and intensity of his Astral Wave stronger than ever. A wide smile full of delight appeared on his face as he felt the power needed to break beyond the Divine Ascension Realm, opening a path to the stars.

”Go back into the Tier Zero Bio-Genetic Chamber.”

The voice of the Scarlet King snapped the old Peak Divine Ascension Master out of his daze. He did not dare refuse, owing everything to the man, not to mention if he did not comply, the old man was sure he would never see the light of day again.

After the old Peak Divine Ascension Master re-entered the chamber, Cain turned to the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, and the man did the same.

Cainʼs eyes glowed with red light as he continued his work. There was an absolute focus on his face as he analyzed the First Collapsing Lightning Pillarʼs genome, ensuring a perfect copy down to the most minute detail before turning his gaze to the old Peak Divine Ascension Master.

It had already been three weeks since the rise of the Collapsing Lightning Emperor, and the Silver City was full of vitality, with many powerful individuals still present. They were all going about their daily lives when, suddenly, the world began to tremble.

”RUMBLE!”

All powerhouses turned to the sky as they felt an immense power emerging from it, seemingly targeting someone inside the Silver City. This was not an unknown event, as those powerhouses that had lived for thousands of years had seen it many times before.

A human warrior had broken beyond the Divine Ascension Realm!

It did not take long for a beam of light to descend from the sky, and soon, everybody saw a valiant young figure rising into the sky.

”The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar!”

One of the powerhouses could not contain his shock as he shouted, seeing that the person inside the beam of light that was being sent into the Astral Sea was none other than the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar.

Their shock was caused by the fact that the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar was simply too young. Even though he had reached the Peak Divine Ascension Realm, he should have honed his abilities for a bit more time in the safety of Aether, just like all other powerhouses did before their ascension.

Many were confused by this choice, but there was no way to dispute that it was indeed the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar. Not only was his appearance the same, but his aura and energy field were identical.
