The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1251

Chapter 1251: Blood Dragon Chapter 1251: Blood Dragon Back in the Sanguine Area, Cain stood amidst the dissipating energy, still processing what had occurred.

The battlefield was quiet now, with the remnants of the Blood Monsters nowhere to be seen.

He took a deep breath, a mixture of relief and curiosity filling his thoughts as enlightenment crossed his eyes.

“Their adaptations couldn’t keep up,” he realized.

“They overloaded their own systems.” Although it was only a hypothesis, and Cain couldn’t be sure he was right, his understanding of the Blood Monsters’ adaptive physiology was advanced enough to recognize that even creatures specifically designed to adapt had their limits.

No longer concerned with the fate of the Blood Monsters, a broad smile arose on Cain’s face as a sense of accomplishment washed over him.

Not only had he survived the trial, but he had also gained profound insights into the nature of adaptation and evolution.

His understanding of the Oniric Truth of Blood had reached new heights.

The scarlet dragon gazed forward toward the massive black gate in the distance.

Nothing seemed to hinder his path, but he was sure the challenges were far from over.

Instead of marching forward immediately, Cain adopted a meditative stance in the air, closing his eyes as he delved into his insights regarding the adaptive physiology of the Blood Monsters, analyzing them while the memories were still fresh in his mind and soul.

His eyes twitched from time to time as his understanding deepened, and a more profound sense of comprehension washed over his soul.

The scarlet dragon remained like that for an entire month before finally opening his eyes.

A wave of blood force expanded from his body, sending bloody gales in all directions as a broad smile appeared on his face.

Cain felt he had achieved a significant milestone but maintained his calm.

Before doing anything else, he flew forward, ready to face the next challenge of the Sanguine Area.

It didn’t take long for him to encounter it.

Less than an hour of flight from the black gate in the distance, Cain’s body trembled, and shock appeared in his eyes as he felt his energy freeze.

Confusion arose on his face at the sudden change, and his shock deepened when he realized he could no longer summon flames, lightning, or even his Innate Legendary Abilities.

They were somehow sealed.

The only thing he could rely on was his flesh and blood.

Cain looked around and quickly concluded that some sort of formation in the area was blocking his energy and soul abilities.

It was an impressive feat, but it wasn’t entirely surprising given what he had learned about the Demon King.  After a few moments, Cain’s eyes sharpened, and he continued moving forward.

The next clash would force him to rely solely on his flesh and blood.

Not even thirty seconds later, the adversary appeared.

Rising from the bloody ocean that covered the floor of the Sanguine Area, a massive seventy-five-thousand-meter-tall dragon emerged.

Its eyes radiated malice, and its overwhelming power washed over the area, creating a suffocating aura.  Cain’s eyes narrowed, and a solemn expression crossed his face as he took in the sight of the Blood Dragon.

It was exactly like him.

His expression grew even more somber as the Eye of Gluttony revealed that the creature’s physical composition was identical to his own, making it clear that this was not just a replica or reflection but a flawless doppelgänger.

“How?” Cain murmured.

To create such a perfect copy required more than just observation-it needed an analysis that reached the core of his physical makeup, something Cain didn’t recall happening.

However, his eyes widened as he remembered the first trial of the Sanguine Area, where he had allowed the Bloody Rain to flow through his body and back into the bloody sea.

A complicated smile appeared on Cain’s face as he realized the ingenuity of the trial, but he simply shook his head.

“A copy is always a copy.” Determination and killing intent filled Cain’s gaze as he dived toward the Blood Dragon, which immediately mirrored his movement, and soon, a colossal clash began.

The two massive dragons collided with a thunderous impact that shook the air around them.

Claws met claws, teeth gnashed against teeth, and tails whipped through the space with devastating force.

Cain swung his right claw toward the Blood Dragon’s neck, but his attack was met with an equally powerful counterstrike that sent shockwaves rippling outward.

Their movements were a mirror of each other, each anticipating the other’s attacks.

Cain unleashed a flurry of slashes, his claws cutting through the air with lethal precision.

The Blood Dragon mirrored his every move, their claws locking in a deadlock that sent sparks flying.

With a fierce roar, Cain lunged forward, attempting to bite down on the Blood Dragon’s shoulder.

The doppelgänger twisted its body just in time, snapping its jaws inches from Cain’s throat.

They grappled in mid-air, their massive bodies entwined as they struggled for dominance.

Wounds began to appear on both dragons.

Deep gashes marred Cain’s scales where the Blood Dragon’s claws had found their mark and crimson blood seeped from the wounds.

Similarly, the Blood Dragon bore the scars of their clash, its left wing torn and bleeding from a vicious bite Cain had managed to land.

They broke apart momentarily, circling each other warily.

Cain’s chest heaved as he eyed his opponent.

“Every move I make, it counters perfectly.” Without warning, they charged at each other again.

Their tails whipped around like massive whips, colliding with such force that the sound echoed like thunder.

Cain felt the sting of the impact as the Blood Dragon’s tail struck his side, but he retaliated with a powerful swipe of his own, catching the doppelgänger across the face and leaving a deep slash over its eye.

The battle intensified as they unleashed everything they had.

Cain tried to outmaneuver the Blood Dragon with sudden feints and unpredictable attacks, but the creature adapted quickly, matching his every tactic.

They slammed into each other with bone-crushing force, neither willing to yield.

As the fight wore on, exhaustion began to creep in.

Cain’s muscles burned, and his breaths came in heavy pants, but he refused to give in.

With a powerful upward strike, Cain drove his claw into the Blood Dragon’s chest, piercing its scales.

The doppelgänger roared in pain, and in that brief moment of vulnerability, Cain unleashed a barrage of strikes, each one fueled with all the power his body could unleash.

The Blood Dragon staggered back, unable to counter the sudden onslaught.

Wounds covered its body, and its movements became sluggish.
