The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1418

Chapter 1418: New bloodline Chapter 1418: New bloodline “Time up!” The Samsara Lord’s voice reverberated across the devastated dimension, bringing the brutal exchange between the Scarlet King and the Supreme Neo-Demon to an abrupt halt.

Neither warrior was given a chance to continue; their momentum and power were forcibly arrested.

In a heartbeat, they found themselves teleported thousands of meters apart.

Clouds of swirling dust still hovered in the air, and rivers of lava continued to flow in shattered rivulets, silent witnesses to the ferocity just unleashed.

The Supreme Neo-Demon’s eyes glowed with a lethal shine, full of pent-up killing intent and frustration at being forcibly separated from his half-finished strike.

Yet whatever force had initially granted him the purple motes of wisdom was now withdrawing them back into the dimension.

The scattered purple lights dissipated one by one, receding from his body.

Within seconds, his imposing form disintegrated into wisps of energy, merging seamlessly with the battered landscape until he vanished completely.

Only after seeing the Supreme Neo-Demon disappear did the Scarlet King allow the strain to catch up with him.

His battle-scarred body, wracked with injuries, finally gave out.

He collapsed to the ground, unconsciousness seizing him before he even realized he was falling.

Blood caked his lips, dust clung to every scrap of his battered armor, and embers still fluttered around him like wandering fireflies.

It took nearly half an hour for Cain to regain consciousness.

When he stirred, he found himself lying where he had fallen, in the middle of the vast, hellish plane that bore testament to their epic confrontation.

Cautiously, he propped himself upright, wincing at the dull ache in his bones and muscles.

Then he took in the destruction around him: scorched earth, collapsed mountains, lingering columns of smoke.

A trace of confusion crossed his face as he beheld the vast emptiness.

“How do I leave this place?” he muttered quietly, aware that the Samsara Trial must have ended yet unsure how to return to wherever he came from.

No sooner had that thought taken shape in his mind than the clouds in the sky began to warp and shift, condensing to form the visage of an extraordinarily handsome man with three glowing eyes.

Each eye burned with a nearly boundless wisdom.

“Hahaha, you finally woke up,” the booming voice announced with amusement.

“I must say, boy, that was a terrific battle.

I can count on one hand the number of people who have faced Invictus one-on-one and survived to tell the tale-much less fought him to a draw.” The Scarlet King’s eyes widened slightly.

This was no recorded echo.

The tone and presence indicated the genuine consciousness of the Samsara Lord, projecting across some immeasurable distance-perhaps from an entirely different universe.

Despite the shock, Cain held his composure, instinctively adopting a respectful stance.

He clasped his hands together and performed a bow.

“I humbly greet the Samsara Lord,” he said.

Then straightening, he wore a self-effacing expression, recalling how close he had come to defeat.

“I don’t know if calling it a draw would be correct.

I had already spent all my strength by the time you intervened.” The colossal face in the sky nodded softly.

“Selling yourself short is never good, but neither is overconfidence,” the Samsara Lord remarked.

“You did very well, boy-not only surviving but also fighting the full five minutes, matching Invictus blow for blow.

That is beyond impressive.” For a moment, his brilliant gaze seemed to scrutinize Cain from head to toe.

In particular, the Samsara Lord’s focus centered on the Space-Time Eye.

Eventually, the Samsara Lord spoke again.

“You already have access to the Second Layer of the Samsara Arsenal.

Yet your performance in that extraordinary battle deserves an immediate Gift, and I have the perfect one in mind.” A spark of excitement lit up the Scarlet King’s face.

He felt intense gratitude, overshadowed by curiosity about what form this boon might take.

Fortunately, he did not have to wonder long.

The Samsara Lord’s eyes flashed with solemn intent, and high above Cain, a single drop of sky-blue blood materialized.

Immediately, Cain’s entire being reacted to the overwhelming bloodline power emanating from that solitary droplet.

Before he could fully comprehend its nature, it shot toward him, merging with his Rebirth Heart in the span of a heartbeat.

A burning sensation tore through Cain’s body.

The foreign bloodline fused with his Primordial Sun Bloodline, locking into place with flawless synergy-an outcome that should have taken years, if not decades, of painstaking refinement.

Yet the Samsara Lord’s power transcended distance and difficulty, accomplishing the feat in an instant.

Awe, disbelief, and excitement warred in Cain’s mind, but soon they were replaced by a wave of pure thrill.

He sensed his Space-Time Eye radiate with newfound strength while an astonishing clarity about the Laws of Space-Time flooded into his thoughts.

For him, it was akin to years of cultivation insights gained in mere minutes.

When the transformation stabilized, the Samsara Lord’s disembodied face in the sky regarded him with a satisfied mien.

“I granted you a Tier Zero Gift from the Second Layer of the Samsara Arsenal,” the Samsara Lord said, “the Royal Space-Time Bloodline from the Supernova Race.

It has caused your eye to evolve into the Royal Space-Time Supernova Eye.” Cain, still reeling from the metamorphosis, executed a profound bow.

He could not entirely mask the wild exhilaration coursing through him.

The synergy he felt-between his existing energies, newly integrated bloodline, and the evolution of his ocular powers-was beyond his wildest anticipations.

Refusing to let the moment pass without deeper understanding, Cain silently shouted within himself, “System, scan me!” [Scanning Vessel… Name: Cain Laurifer Race: Godslayer Humankind / Primordial Path of Power: Astral Rebirth (Peak Divine Ascension) / Essence Evolution (Late Divine Ascension) / Ego Eternal (Late Fourth Realm) Lineage: Primordial Sun Bloodline / Royal Space-Time Supernova Wave Talent: Third Order Neo-Demon … Stats: Strength: 13.5–>17.4 (25.6) Agility: 9.6–> 14.1 (21.5) Vitality: 23.5–> 41.5 (59.0) Astral Origin: 17.8 –> 23.4 (32.4) Essence Origin: 19.4–> 20.1 (30.3) Soul Force: 21.4 –> 25.1 Ego Wave: 180.3 –> 182.1 … Astral Supremacy Star: Blazing Celestial (Rank 6) … Law Mastery: Law of Space (Middle Law Embodiment) Law of Time (Middle Law Embodiment) Earth Law (Low Law Embodiment) Water Law (Low Law Embodiment) Fire Law (Low Law Embodiment) Wind Law (Low Law Embodiment) … Note: Wave Virus inside the Vessel enhanced Wave Talent by 0%.
