The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1432

Chapter 1432: Golden Lake Chapter 1432: Golden Lake Cain was oblivious to the conversation between the tiny old man of the Nether Clan and the enraged Hell Clan member.

His focus remained entirely on the battlefield.

With deliberate precision, he extracted his spear from the chest of the Demonic Metallic Wolf, the weapon gleaming faintly with lingering Star Power.

Without hesitation, Cain sent the colossal corpse into his spatial ring.

The body of a Late Divine Transcendence Beast held immense value.

Cain himself had little personal need for it due to the Darkmist Force constantly nourishing his body.

However, its worth in trade or bartering with others could not be overstated.

“Five Divine Beasts…

a good catch,” Cain murmured, a small smirk forming on his lips as he reviewed the contents of his spatial ring.

His calm demeanor stood in stark contrast to the bloodbath they had just endured.

Unlike the others, whose ragged breathing and visible wounds betrayed their exhaustion, Cain was in pristine condition.

His energy still brimmed, radiating an aura of boundless stamina that set him apart from the group.

Arakos and the rest of the team eyed him warily.

Their expressions, once filled with disdain, were now laced with caution and a hint of unease.

They had all assumed Cain was merely a Middle Divine Transcendence Master, but his feats during the battle made it clear they had gravely underestimated him.

Their eyes also lingered on the majestic Spear of Doom still clutched in his grasp.

The greed in their gazes was barely concealed, a silent testament to the weapon’s allure.

Cain, attuned to their emotions through the Flow, could read their thoughts as easily as if they had spoken them aloud.

He was unsurprised by their reactions.

‘If it weren’t for the mission’s rule prohibiting infighting, they’d already be scheming to gang up on me for this spear,’ Cain thought, his smirk deepening.

Their behavior only confirmed what he already knew: there were no real allies in the Gu Sect.

It made the prospect of eliminating them all the more convenient.

Without uttering a word, Cain ascended into the sky, heading toward the Golden Lake.

His departure was swift and deliberate, leaving no room for idle chatter or lingering interactions.

Arakos and the others exchanged brief glances before following suit.

Though they traveled as a group, it was clear that no camaraderie existed between them.

The air was tense, and the unspoken acknowledgment of Cain’s strength served as a deterrent for further hostility.

The journey to the Golden Lake was marked by breathtaking phenomena and natural dangers.

The group encountered wondrous celestial anomalies, from spiraling vortices of Star Power to radiant auroras that painted the sky in vibrant hues.

Occasionally, Divine Beasts of lesser strength crossed their path but wisely avoided the group, sensing the overwhelming power emanating from them.

Despite the awe-inspiring sights, Cain’s focus remained unwavering.

His mind was a storm of calculations and observations, particularly regarding Arakos and Renan.

He paid close attention to the dynamics within the group, noting Arakos’ subtle positioning to protect Renan at all costs.

This behavior confirmed Cain’s earlier suspicions: Renan was a priority target for the other faction of the sect, and Arakos had likely been assigned to ensure her safety.

“This complicates things, but not enough to change my plans,” Cain thought, his golden eyes gleaming as he flew slightly apart from the group.

After four days of relentless travel, the radiant glow of the Golden Lake came into view.

Even from hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, its brilliance was blinding, casting a golden sheen over the horizon.

Cain narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharpening as he assessed the scene.

“BOOOOOOOM!” A deafening explosion echoed across the sky.

A wave of concentrated Star Power surged outward, striking the group with sharp, blade-like winds.

The team instinctively raised their defenses, encasing themselves in protective energy.

Even Arakos frowned, his aura flaring as he shielded Renan and the others.

Cain’s expression darkened.

The power behind the blast was undeniable-far exceeding the limits of a Late Divine Transcendence Master.

‘I thought Peak Divine Transcendence Masters were confined within the sect?’ he mused, his thoughts racing.

Whatever was happening at the Golden Lake, it was far from ordinary.

Without hesitation, Cain accelerated, leading the group closer to their destination.

Explosions rang out continuously as they approached, each one more powerful than the last.

The atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive, the sheer concentration of energy making it difficult to breathe.

After another ten minutes of flight, the Golden Lake finally came into full view.

The Golden Lake was a sight to behold.

Its size was incomprehensible, stretching so far that even with his enhanced vision, Cain couldn’t see its edges.

The liquid within wasn’t water but a molten golden substance, its surface constantly erupting into massive pillars of energy that pierced the sky.

Waves of the golden liquid rose and fell, each one capable of swallowing entire cities.

Cain’s awe quickly shifted to analysis.

His gaze moved from the lake to the battles raging above it.

The skies were a chaotic battlefield, filled with warriors from the Light Races of the Gu Sect and the Golden Star Kingdom.

Though they shared the same origin, their killing intent was palpable.

The Golden Star Kingdom’s hatred toward the Gu Sect’s Light Camp was infamous, as the kingdom deemed them heretics for coexisting with the Dark Races.

Cain’s attention was drawn to one particular battle, where two figures unleashed energy waves at the Peak Divine Transcendence Realm.

One was a Godslayer Human, his body radiating sharp Wind Star Power that sundered space with every movement.

His opponent was a member of the Deus Behemoth Race, transformed into a colossal golden dragon over five hundred thousand meters tall.

The dragon’s power stemmed from the Warlock Divine System, so his bloodline force was beyond monstrous.

Cain’s expression was solemn as he observed the devastating duel.

Each exchange between the two created shockwaves that rippled across the lake, causing its golden surface to churn violently.

However, what truly caught Cain’s attention was a massive tower stationed at the lake’s edge.

The structure radiated an overwhelming aura, its presence fueling the Godslayer Human with an unending torrent of energy.
