The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1487

Chapter 1487: Good news and bad news Chapter 1487: Good news and bad news A burning curiosity flared in Cain’s mind, prompting him to assess just how much stronger he had become.

Unable to contain his eagerness, he commanded the Absolute Life Form System to provide an updated status report.

A few moments later, the system’s cold, metallic voice echoed within his consciousness.

[Scanning Vessel…

Note: Wave Virus within the Vessel has boosted energy assimilation and cultivation speed by 31.0%.

Natural energy and celestial force have augmented the Vessel’s physical attributes, including Astral Wave and Essence Wave (values in parentheses).

Nightmare energy enhances the Vessel’s Ego Wave (values in parentheses).

This reflects only energy reserves, not the Alter-Ego’s power.] Cain’s eyes widened as he took in the surge in his physical stats.

The constant influx of Tier 9 Astral Supremacy Star radiation had indeed pushed his body’s parameters forward-further than he had anticipated.

Meanwhile, his newly formed bond with the Tier 7 Solar Pulse Star had worked wonders for his soul force and perception, particularly Fire Star Power.

As he let himself dwell briefly on these achievements, Cain cast a sidelong glance at Elrick and the others.

They stood a short distance away, watching him with impatience and, in some cases, thinly veiled discontent.

Their frustration was almost tangible; clearly, they felt they had waited long enough for him to lead them onward.

Cain nearly let out a laugh at their expressions, but instead, he merely shook his head in mild amusement before returning his attention to the labyrinth of energy pathways spread out before him.

His perception of Fire Star Power had grown even stronger, so finding the correct route onward would likely be simpler than before.

Indeed, within less than a minute, Cain’s eyes glimmered with an assured light.

He focused on the second path from the left-a corridor whose flame patterns and energy flow looked subtly but distinctly more stable than the others.

“Let’s go,” Cain said, leaving no room for debate.

Without another word, he strode into that corridor.

Elrick and the rest exchanged tense glances but followed nonetheless.

They knew they had little choice: without Cain’s ability to navigate the tomb’s fiery mazes, they would be hopelessly lost.

Once again, they found themselves surrounded by walls of dancing fire, jagged flames that crackled erratically.

The ground itself radiated scorching heat.

Their boots sizzled with every step, and it took constant effort for most of them to fight off the tomb’s oppressive radiation.

Fortunately, their trek did not last long before a massive obsidian gate came into view.

Its dark, glossy surface was etched with ancient symbols and radiated an eerie heat.

With a small push-accompanied by a heavy grinding sound-it swung open, granting them passage into a new section of the tomb.

Cain narrowed his eyes, attempting to parse the dimly lit environment that awaited them.

This portion of the tomb featured obsidian floors and a ceiling covered in magma veins.

Gargantuan pillars rose at intervals, their bases fused into the stone floor and their tops vanishing into the distant ceiling.

He noticed how each pillar was similarly streaked with molten rock, creating a vivid contrast between the black obsidian and the glowing veins of red-orange magma.

However, the darkness beyond the first few hundred meters was impenetrably thick.

Neither Cain’s enhanced eyesight, his Ego Wave, nor the system could breach it.

The blackness seemed to swallow any attempt to see or sense further, making it nearly impossible to discern what lay deeper within.

While Cain focused on the ominous dark, Elrick and the others found themselves battling a fresh wave of unbearable heat.

Intense radiation pressed on their bodies like an invisible weight.

Each breath felt scorching as if they were inhaling fiery embers.

To remain on their feet, they had to channel even more of their energy pool to resist the tomb’s toxic environment.  The group collectively turned their gazes on Cain-wordlessly demanding he figure out the next move.

None of them wanted to remain in this stifling zone for longer than necessary.  Cain frowned in response.

Unlike the previous areas, there was no clear path forward, no obvious corridor that might lead deeper into the tomb.

Every direction looked identical: obsidian ground, ceiling, gigantic pillars, and magma-flowing veins.

Even the radiation seemed evenly spread.

“This is worse than the Shadow Labyrinth,” Cain muttered, recalling the prior part of the tomb in which narrow walkways and illusions had created a deadly maze.

“At least there, we had a direction to move in.” His frown deepened as he scanned left and right.

“I won’t be able to figure out a path without more information.” He turned to face Elrick, Auron, Mary, and the others.

By now, their features were etched with apprehension, and sweat poured down their faces from the relentless heat.

“Let’s move,” Cain said.

“Do not separate.

If we split up in this darkness, we might never see each other again.” Fear flickered in their eyes at his warning.

If anyone got lost, finding their way back would be nearly impossible.

One wrong turn and they could end up wandering in circles until exhaustion or the tomb’s dangers claimed their lives.

So they formed up around Cain, each person carefully spacing themselves so as not to interfere with one another’s defensive spells or personal auras.

Together, they began to march deeper into the darkness.

Cain did not rush; his main goal was to spot anything that might serve as a clue to the tomb’s architecture.

He tested each step before fully placing his weight, wary of hidden traps or abrupt drops into magma-filled caverns.

Minutes stretched into half an hour.

Cain’s frustration grew with each step, his mind constantly searching for any subtle difference that could guide them.

At last, a spark of insight flickered in Cain’s eyes.

He had finally noticed that one feature that changed: the veins of magma.

Their patterns changed slightly as they walked.

“They’re like roots,” Cain said aloud, stopping abruptly.

“Which means we just need to track them back to wherever they originate.” This was a breakthrough.

Unfortunately, the good news was soon accompanied of bad ones.  “RUMBLE!!!” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Redsunworld Check the comments for images 17/28 Chapter: 21 weekly + 4 for golden ranking (+50) + 3 for power stone ranking (+400)
