The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1262

Chapter 1262: Flies Chapter 1262: Flies Cain heard the Demon King’s voice echo inside his mind as he gazed at the Shadow Brain with awe and thrill.

Without hesitation, he sent forth his soul force into the majestic treasure.

As soon as the scarlet dragon’s spirit branded the artifact, it decomposed into streams of shadows that fused into his head, immediately flashing toward his brain where it generated a membrane.

A wild smile appeared on Cain’s face as he sensed the membrane’s formidable power.

He felt it could weaken spiritual attacks even from Void Eclipse life forms, and focusing on it might enhance his understanding of the Oniric Truth of Hatred.

A huge feeling of success washed over his heart as the white gate before him began to split apart, revealing a massive portal of thick green plasma.

Without a moment’s delay, Cain dashed forward.

His figure reached the portal and immediately vanished inside.

The sensation was like passing through the maw of a massive beast, causing his entire body to shiver.

But he pushed forward, undeterred.

After a few seconds, light returned to his eyes, and he found himself in the seventh level-the Sky Devouring Grotto.

“Welcome to the Sky Devouring Grotto!

You have three hundred and fifty one days to reach the end of the level.” The voice of the Demon King’s echoed across the dimension as Cain gazed the dimension.

An immense and terrifying void stretched out before him, filled with shifting shadows, thick fog, and echoing whispers.

The grotto was an enormous cavernous expanse, with countless tunnels branching in all directions like the veins of some ancient, slumbering titan.

The ground beneath his feet was blackened, as if scorched by ancient fires, and cracked with deep fissures from which dark mist seeped.

This mist represented the ceaseless hunger that permeated this domain, carrying an almost tangible aura of insatiable craving.

It radiated a sense of endless desire for power, energy, and life itself.

Massive, looming shapes emerged from the darkness-the fossilized remains of creatures that once roamed this abyss, now petrified and hollowed out, their energy devoured by the grotto itself.

Here and there, glowing pools of crimson energy glimmered faintly in the dark, remnants of life forces that had long since been consumed, left behind as if waiting to tempt those who passed by.

Above, the cavern ceiling seemed to fade into an endless, dark vortex swirling with streams of shadowy energy, creating a sense of impending consumption.

Ethereal tendrils occasionally reached down from the void, as if to pull intruders into their depths, feeding off any energy they could touch.

The walls of the tunnels pulsed subtly, as if the grotto was a living entity, aware of his presence.

Despite the foreboding and chilling aura of the entire dimension, Cain couldn’t help but smile.

The Eye of Gluttony on his forehead trembled, its scarlet glow piercing through the shadows as it scanned everything.

As he moved through the phenomena surrounding the grotto, the Eye of Gluttony perceived the presence of the Oniric Truth of Gluttony in each aspect of this realm.

It felt the insatiable hunger in the mist, the endless desire in the swirling vortex above, and the remnants of consumed life in the crimson pools.

Slowly, the third eye began to decipher the nature and principles of this profound truth.

It unraveled the complexities of the devouring energies, understanding how they consumed not just matter but essence itself.

Of course, the complexity of these phenomena was incredibly high, even higher than those in the previous levels.

But Cain’s True Name and Dragon Sinful Heart provided a massive boost to his perception.

His mind processed the intricate patterns and energies with remarkable clarity.  He showed a wide smile as he took a deep breath, embracing the aura of the Sky Devouring Grotto.

Rising into the air, he flashed forward.

The tunnels branched out endlessly, twisting and turning in a labyrinthine maze.

There were many paths he could take, and no clear indication of which was the right one.

Luckily, Cain only needed to focus on each path with the Eye of Gluttony.

It allowed him to detect the tunnels with the densest energy signatures, guiding him through the maze.

Everything was going smoothly until suddenly, Cain’s eyes narrowed as he heard a distant buzzing sound.

It grew louder with each passing moment.

Emerging from the shadows ahead was a horde unlike anything he had ever seen-a swarm of billions of flies marching toward him.

These were no ordinary insects.

Each fly was forged from pure devouring power, their bodies composed of swirling dark energy that flickered like black flames.

The swarm was a living tidal wave of darkness, surging through the tunnels and filling the cavern with an ominous drone.

Their eyes glowed with a ravenous light, and their wings beat so rapidly that they generated gusts of wind capable of slicing through stone.

The very air around them seemed to warp, consumed by their presence.

They left nothingness in their wake-a void where even light struggled to exist.

Cain’s eyes sharpened as he assessed the terrifying sight.

Instinctively, he unleashed his aura, a powerful force meant to repel any approaching threat.

But the flies did not stop.

They continued flying toward him, flooding the surroundings in a wave of darkness that blotted out all else.

Before those disgusting things could reach him, the scarlet dragon opened his maw and unleashed a torrent of fire and lightning toward the swarm.

The flames roared forth, intertwined with arcs of brilliant lightning-a devastating attack that could reduce mountains to ash.

However, as soon as the fire and lightning reached the swarm, the energies were absorbed.

The flies swallowed every ounce of the attack, their bodies flickering brighter for a moment before returning to their dark state.

Cain’s eyes widened as he realized that his elemental powers had been consumed, adding to the swarm’s strength.

The devouring force generated by the swarm of flies was immense, and they approached him with alarming speed.

Yet, Cain did not flee.

He hovered in the air, his wings beating steadily as he calmly awaited their arrival.

There was no fear in his eyes, only curiosity and determination.
