Infinite Evolution System Made Me Too OP! - Chapter 191

Chapter 191: Drug Lord
Chapter 191

……

Time continued to elude those of the Heaven Exploding Cave Abode and Crimson Palace as another 10 years flew by like a fleeting shadow.

Not many things changed within the Heaven Exploding Sect during this period of time, as members rose in ranks and members fell in ranks.

On the other hand, the ‘Master’s Wives’ and ‘Disciple’s’ were very active in the progression of the sect.

They not only passed on the teachings of the Crimson Devil Lord but also gave their own take and perspectives on various topics.

With them working together in conjunction with the Mirror Mirage’s assigned to teaching duty, many improvements were made concerning the knowledge and power of the members of the Heaven Exploding Sect.

This enabled the higher bracket of strength in the sect to improve past the Early Adamantine Rank into the Middle Adamantine Rank. Which also permitted the lower and middle power brackets to extend into the Late Platinum and Early Adamantine Ranks!

This just left the Trial and Outer Disciples, all of whom were spread across the Copper Rank to Middle Platinum Ranks.

Although their strength was not significant, it was still enough to warrant their contribution in any wars, which was quite substantial when one included the fact that there were countless quadrillions of them.

Even so, the contributions made by the various members of the sect when attributed to the ceaseless warfare only amounted to roughly 65% of the total death rate.

Excluding the loophole deaths made by Azmodeus’s split skill, which accounted for 100% of the deaths, 25% was due to the efforts of the murder yandere’s. Who, even when they had the option to take on a new subsidiary force, they still decided to raze the Squares to the ground, leaving them in states of being endlessly ablaze.

Azmodeus blamed himself for their murderous tendencies. But in the end, everything they did only made him prouder of how far they had come from the girls who originally found it hard to take a single human life…

At least, he assumed what he felt was pride…

He didn’t quite know anymore, but something was telling him that he guided the girls down the right path—a dark and deadly path. But still one that would allow them to understand exactly what was required for one to live in a world like the one they were born into.

A world that permitted no leniency when it came to those who got in your way of survival…

This way of thinking, along with acting upon such thoughts, led to Azmodeus keeping himself alive for over a thousand years—cultivating, progressing, learning, applying, adapting, and, above all, evolving.

The path of Infinite Evolution was a long one—one that required a cultivator to make many tough decisions.

But in the end, everything went toward a single goal… That goal being to survive.

To survive and strive, evolve, strive some more, survive some more, evolve even further…

It was a never-ending cycle, one that held no pause button until the day you died. But for Azmodeus, one who had lived countless lifetimes in the Boundless Void, it might as well have been routine.

It was something that came as the natural cause for exponentially improving power increases.

It was through applying the principles in this way of life that Azmodeus persisted in his cultivation. He aimed to achieve the Peak Comet’s Passage Realm before the hundred-year mark he set for himself arrived. (1000 years cave abode time.)

…

30 years later.

A few things of note had changed over the last three decades. With the most distinctive one being that the Heaven Exploding Sect successfully conquered everything that the Crimson Emperor set for the 100-year milestone.

It was with this achievement that all of the soldiers who worked the hardest and accomplished the most in the Crimson Battalion were awarded territories of their own.

These ‘Territories’ were, of course, the Square’s, with some of the generals with more renown being allotted upward of 1000–2000 Squares.

One might think this was quite an exaggerated number. But with more than 100 million squares under the Crimson Emperor’s rule, such a feat was quite easy to accomplish.

It was through the awarding of Squares that Azmodeus not only cemented his position as a true monarch but also permitted the utilization of a strict hierarchy.

It was a social structure in which the strong would strive while the weak would serve as mere stepping stones.

This was the way of the world, and there was no point in altering something that wasn’t broken to begin with.

Of course, Azmodeus would never allow his subjects and sect members to be restricted from improving their positions through effort, grit, and talent.

With this in mind, harsh punishments were set in place for anyone who wished to prevent others from reaching new heights out of jealousy or envy.

The ones who enforced these laws were none other than the Core Female Members of the Heaven Exploding Cave Abode, as well as their direct subordinates, the ‘Blood-Borne Syndicate’.

The Blood-Borne Syndicate was a disciplinary faction created by Yang Hua, You Mei, and the rest over 15 years ago.

Its purpose was to simply uphold order within the Heaven Exploding Sect. And with that job description, they were authorized to use any and all means necessary to make sure the Crimson Emperor’s rules remained unquestioned.

So far, this disciplinary committee of sorts has garnered quite the reputation as the most tyrannical faction to ever come to be. But it wasn’t like Yang Hua or the rest cared about a title given to them by the weak and cowardly, so life continued as per usual—linear and constantly changing.

With the passing of time, another 5 years flew by in the blink of an eye.

It was during this period of time that Azmodeus attempted to jump from the Late Comet’s Passage Realm to the Peak Comet’s Passage Realm.

There was no telling how he managed to improve his cultivation by so much within a short few dozen years, but it could likely be attributed to the fact that he consumed pills like they were going out style.

Add that to the fact that he overdosed on Physical Refinement Potions and Low-Rank Star Stones, and you had yourself a Drug Lord!
