The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1244

Chapter 1244: Level 26 Chapter 1244: Level 26 Cain stood before the colossal gate, his reflection distorted on its glossy, crimson surface.

He could feel the immense power radiating from it, a palpable energy that resonated with his blood.

Carefully, he reached out and touched it.

Immediately, a powerful voice echoed across the dimension.

“Congratulations on finishing the Molten Crucible.

Wait until the deadline is completed for the gate to the Sanguine Area to open.

The ranking will also be displayed at that time, and the reward will be granted.” Cain’s eyes narrowed as he heard the Demon King speak about a reward, desire igniting within his gaze.

For someone powerful enough to create this realm, even one of his trinkets would be a massive treasure for Cain.

However, he did not lose focus.

The Molten Crucible was already behind him, and he doubted that flying around the fourth level would improve his grade.

“Then what should I do?” Cain pondered how to spend the next few weeks.

He considered returning to the heart of the Molten Crucible to delve deeper into the Oniric Truth of Destruction, but after a moment, he shook his head.

He had already learned all the fourth level had to offer.

Suddenly, a sharp light appeared in his eyes as he focused on the massive gate, his attention drawn to the majestic and archaic runes that covered it.

Perceiving the principles and power behind these runes was much more challenging than it had been with the Oniric Truth of Destruction, but that made sense.

A significant reason his mastery over the Oniric Truth had risen so fast was thanks to his True Name, especially Reaper.

However, the difficulty did not deter Cain.

There was nothing else to do, so he gazed at the blood gate, letting everything else fade from his mind.

Days carried on, with more angels, dragons, and saintesses reaching the blood gate.

During that time, Cain did not move a single muscle.

His eyes were sharp and focused solely on the bloody runes.

Using the power of the Mark of Wisdom, he tuned his perception to them, striving to understand their secrets.

Finally, seventy days passed since the gate to the Molten Crucible had opened, reaching the deadline.

All those who didn’t manage to reach the blood gate were enveloped in an overwhelming force and teleported out.

In the next second, the voice of the Demon King appeared, spreading across all the parallel dimensions that composed the fourth level of the castle.

“Congratulations on finishing the Trial of Destruction, the Molten Crucible!

Now it is time for the ranking!” The eyes of saintesses, angels, and dragons glowed as they heard those words.

Flaming letters materialized in the air above the blood gate, forming the ranking.

Nineteen names appeared, causing shock among all present, as over seventy had entered the Molten Crucible, highlighting its difficulty.

They were ordered according to their grades, and those at the bottom couldn’t help but show complicated expressions.

They were all extremely talented-the peak of their organizations’ younger generation-yet they barely managed to complete the first of the Blood and Hunger Trials.

Such realization was a heavy blow to their egos and self-esteem.

However, no one was having a harder time than Helios.

“What!

Impossible!

How is this happening?” the Archangel shouted in anger and rage as he saw the ranking, his name in the third position.

“How could they be better than me?

I am a…” He stopped at the last second, not daring to utter the following words, but that did nothing to diminish the pure hatred and killing intent in his eyes as he focused on the names above him.

In second place was Meylin, the Sacred Saintess of the Three Moons.

As for the first place, that honor obviously belonged to Cain.

The scarlet dragon, who should have been thrilled to see his name at the top of the Molten Crucible’s ranking, showed no reaction.

His mind didn’t even register the flaming words as he was utterly lost in the bloody runes.

Suddenly, his entire body trembled, and a massive burst of energy and soul force emerged from within.

Deep inside Cain, his Dark Seed-a manifestation of his soul force-began to pulsate violently.

It radiated intense light, expanding and contracting like a star on the verge of a supernova.

Cracks appeared on its surface, and from within, an immense singularity emerged.

It was a swirling vortex of cosmic energy, an endless void speckled with glimmering stars.

As it formed, Cain’s energy pools-the event horizons of his being-expanded dramatically.

They twisted and intertwined, becoming a double helix that spiraled infinitely inward and outward, symbolizing the limitless potential within him.

Cain’s entire existence surged with newfound power.

His massive, gargantuan body grew even larger, reaching a mind-boggling seventy-five thousand meters.

His muscles grew denser, his scales thicker, and the lightning and fire that crackled across his form intensified with newfound might.

Waves of energy rippled outward from him, causing the very air to vibrate.

The ground beneath him trembled as his aura intensified, a gravitational force pulling at the surroundings.

As the transformation settled, Cain opened his eyes.

They shone with a brilliance that seemed to pierce reality itself.

He felt the boundless energy coursing through him, a harmonious blend of raw power and enlightened understanding.

The evolution of his soul force brought a myriad of wonders, and he could feel how his soul was one step closer to diving into the principles of the universe.

Cain took a deep breath, the air around him crackling with residual energy.

A wide smile played on his lips as he burst into laughter.

“Hahahahahaha, this gate is truly wondrous!” His reaction was understandable, as it was the perception, understanding, and assimilation of the Oniric Truth of Blood that nurtured his soul and gave him the final push, allowing him to break beyond Level 25 and become a Stellar Abyss Legend!

It took a few seconds for the excitement to calm down, and only then did Cain notice the flaming letters.

His smile widened even more as he realized he had succeeded.
