The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1008

Chapter 1008: Soul Devourer (II) Chapter 1008: Soul Devourer (II) The Soul Devourer Class’ ascension ritual was bloody and brutal, worthy of a demon king, and it would surely raise the anger of many people, making Cain infamous.

The Eye of Gluttony thrived with power and desire as if the Innate Ability urged him to take this path that would make him immensely powerful.

Cain’s eyes blazed with determination and a chilling resolve as the Power of Order erupted from his being.

His purpose in the Crimson World was singular: to grow strong and locate Beelze.

He cared not for friendships or the establishment of a grand organization, paths that were reserved for his family in Aether.

His only concern was to amass power, even if it meant enduring infamy.

“The people of the Trinity Kingdom might get angry, but I will use the power to help them repel the invasion so they will get over it.

And if not, it doesn’t matter.

I will have fulfilled my part of the deal, and what they want is no longer my problem.” Cain nodded to himself, his eyes devoid of empathy as he continued reading the information in the book.

Cain fully immersed himself in the knowledge of the Soul Devourer Legendary Cultivation Technique.

Councilman Irion would not let him take the book with him, so he needed to internalize all the information to be of use at a later time.

As Cain immersed himself in the knowledge, he also learned more about the Legends’ powers and ranks.

While the term Legend was used by most people to refer to all entities above Level 21, that term was too broad, and the Soul Devourer Cultivation Technique provided a detailed classification.

Once a cultivator completes the Event Horizon Formation and awakens their True Soul, they are known as Dark Seed Legends.

The term Dark Seed refers to the state of their True Soul, signifying the birth of a cosmic giant capable of swallowing a star, embodying a journey of insatiable hunger for power.

After the black hole that was the cultivator’s True Soul grows powerful enough, one could rise to become a Stellar Abyss Legend.

Your True Soul is massive enough to become a chasm in the heavens, swallowing moons and the light of the sky.

“By the description of the Stellar Abyss Legend and the powers it can unleash, that should be a realm that equals my true body’s full power.” A sharp light crossed Cain’s eyes as he reached this part.

Aether’s original cultivation civilization had no classification for his cultivation might as he had already broken all paradigms.

Yet, in the Crimson World, there were standards for his kind of power, and the Soul Devourer Legendary Cultivation Technique described an even higher stage!

“Void Eclipse Legend!” As he read that title, Cain could not help but adopt a solemn expression.

There was no detailed description of that state in the book, only a line.

The ultimate shadow, eclipsing all light and devouring the universe’s secrets.

Cain was sure the description was not mere words, and it hinted at the abilities those entities could unleash.

The last part made his heart race as he could not help but wonder what type of ability could be described as devouring the universe’s secrets.

Not allowing himself to get lost in the rhetoric, Cain regained his focus and estimated that most, if not all, the Legends in the Trinity Kingdom were Dark Seed Legends, as those above that level would not keep themselves in such a tiny place that would only drain their talent and potential.

Despite the unknown strength of the invading forces, Cain deduced that their need to weaken their enemy internally and seek external help indicated a power level similar to that of the Trinity Kingdom.

“To make a significant impact on the battlefield, I needed to attain the strength of a Peak Dark Seed Legend.” With everything clear, Cain continued internalizing the knowledge of the Soul Devourer Legendary Cultivation Techniques.

It was a sea of knowledge contained in a small book, and even the [A.I.

Chip Module] would have needed a lot of time to analyze it.

Luckily for Cain, he was able to fully internalize all that knowledge in just 24 days.

The other six did not go to waste as he went through the library learning Legendary spells and techniques that could be useful in the future.

Finally, thirty-one days passed, and the stone gates of the Trinity Kingdom’s Legendary Library opened, revealing the figure of Councilman Irion.

The man was not alone, as Duke Rellin was by his side.

Cain had learned all he needed, so he did not hesitate before walking toward the duo, clasping his hands and bowing toward Councilman Irion before turning toward his teacher, whose face looked somewhat pale.

“You will be marching toward Bravos as well, teacher?” It was not hard for Cain to see the source of the old man’s anxiety.

Duke Rellin might be a Sky Master Mage, but he was not good at fighting, and on a battlefield of the level that would arise in Bravos, his chances of survival were around 50%.

“All members of nobility must help defend the Trinity Kingdom.

They enjoy its glory and bear the responsibility of protecting it.” The one who responded to Cain’s question was not Rellin but Councilman Irion, his eyes sharp, making it clear this was a mandate that could not be refused.

Cain’s eyes narrowed as he heard that, and he knew he could not use his power to keep Rellin away from the battlefield, but that did not mean he could not help the old man.

“Teacher, I need a mage to help me during my battle, so you will stay by my side and cover me.” When Rellin heard that, a smile arose as the dread that assaulted him vanished.

Staying next to Cain would significantly increase his chances of survival.

Councilman Irion’s eyes narrowed as he heard that.

Technically, Cain had no authority to assign people to his side, but the old man chose not to bother over minor details and simply nodded.
