The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1170

Chapter 1170: Reaper Touch’s evolution Chapter 1170: Reaper Touch’s evolution Cain was unaware of the tales being told about Robert or how the Lightning Knight’s fame had skyrocketed at his expense.

Even if he had known, he wouldn’t have cared in the slightest, as the opinion of the masses had never held any importance for him.

The truth was that his sudden weakened and chaotic life force during the battle had all been a calculated ploy.

It was designed to trick the South Coast Alliance, making Lord Zero’s survival story more credible.

After escaping Robert’s relentless pursuit, Cain sought refuge in a massive poisonous swamp.

The swamp was so toxic that even normal Legends avoided it due to its harmful gasses, making it a perfect place to lay low.

Though the poisonous gasses that covered everything would have troubled even normal Stellar Abyss Legends, they were of no concern for an Ancient Dragon as massive as Cain, whose vitality raged like an unstoppable force.

Cain adopted his colossal dragon form, his scales gleaming in the murky atmosphere.

With a wave of his massive claw, over fifty Sky Lords and seven Dark Seed Legends emerged from his shadows, all captives he had snatched during the battle in the city before Robert’s arrival.

These captives were near death, many on the verge of perishing due to the deep wounds they had received from the scarlet dragon.

Cain wasted no time, grabbing them all with his claws and tossing them into his gaping maw.

It didn’t matter if they were Sky Lords or Legends, men or women; they were all sent to his stomach, where a sea of scarlet flames awaited, ready to consume them.

A wide smile spread across Cain’s face as a surge of vitality, energy, and soul force flowed through his body and black hole, healing the damage he’d sustained in his previous fight.

His power was replenished, and he now had all the fuel he needed to further his cultivation and training.

Cain lay on the ground, his massive form sinking into the swamp, eyes closed for an entire day.

When he finally opened them, his body and soul were fully restored, his strength brimming.

More importantly, dozens of new spheres had formed inside his black hole, representing the abilities he had just assimilated from the Sky Lords and Legends.

The scarlet dragon focused, sifting through the memories of those he had devoured.

Though many of their abilities were impressive, none aligned well with his battle style or offered anything he didn’t already possess.

After a moment, he triggered the power of Scarlet Reaper, consuming all of their abilities and converting them into a massive amount of golden energy of origin.

A solemn expression crossed Cain’s face as he considered how to best use this newly gained energy.

Shadow Master had grown immensely powerful and useful after its evolution to the Void Eclipse Tier.

Still, Cain knew that the amount of golden energy of origin that Scarlet Reaper generated wouldn’t make much of a difference for such a high-tier ability.

Instead, he decided to focus on improving something else.

“The abilities I could enhance are Golden Eyes, Soul Combustion, Weight Manipulation, Illusion Master, Earthquake Blow, or Reaper Touch,” Cain muttered, analyzing his options.

He quickly discarded Golden Eyes; while useful for detection, he was on a killing mission, and what he needed now was more battle power.

In the end, the decision was clear.

Cain needed piercing and destructive force, and Reaper Touch was the ability that enhanced both aspects of his attacks, from his flames to his claws.

With a single thought, the massive amount of Golden Energy of Origin was funneled into the sphere representing Reaper Touch.

The sphere grew in size and trembled as it evolved, reaching the Stellar Abyss Tier!

A wide smile spread across Cain’s face as he felt the improvement.

His curiosity piqued, and he activated the ability, causing his claws to take on a dark, ominous glow.

Immediately, the ground beneath him crumbled into pieces, and the entire swamp began to disintegrate as the destructive energy flooded everything, even dispersing the toxic fog that hung in the air.

“Amazing!” Cain roared in excitement, his voice echoing through the swamp.

The power of Reaper Touch had always felt unique to him, and now, after reaching the Stellar Abyss Tier, its true potential was revealed.

A cold light flickered in Cain’s eyes as he became eager to test the ability further.

But first, he closed his eyes and focused.

“How are things on your end?” he sent the thought across countless kilometers, reaching the bearer of the Mark of Abaddon.

“Lord, everything went according to plan.

Everyone believes my story thanks to your performance in the city against Robert.

You can proceed with your next target without any problems.

According to my intel, he’s exactly where you want him,” Lord Zero’s voice echoed in Cain’s mind.

Cain’s smile widened as he gazed into the distance.

His body transformed into a shadow and vanished from the area, leaving behind nothing but a wasteland where once there had been a treacherous swamp.

— Far away, a decrepit man wearing a large black robe made his way toward a small hidden temple nestled within a mountain range.

The area was protected by numerous runes and traps designed to keep prying eyes away and to safeguard its secrets.

This man’s name was Norton, one of the strongest Stellar Abyss Legends of the South Coast.

However, he was also one of the oldest.

In fact, Norton’s natural lifespan had long since expired, and he should have died years ago.

But the temple he was heading to was no ordinary place-it held the secret to his extended life.

The temple, his greatest secret, allowed him to regain his life force in exchange for a specific type of sacrifice.

Norton had gone to great lengths to keep this knowledge hidden, even from members of his own clan.

They only knew he disappeared every few years, but they had no idea where he went or what he did.

Norton walked toward the temple, his eyes sharp as he glanced around, ensuring no one was following him.

No matter what, he could never allow anyone to discover the existence of this temple.
