The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1526

Chapter 1526: Rebirth by fire Chapter 1526: Rebirth by fire Cain continued driving the Shooting Star Dragon Halberd deeper into the woman’s torso.

He could feel every tremor in his body as he burned his life force and soul, pushing them far beyond their natural limits.

Despite the Third Realm woman’s energy being largely disrupted, her flesh was still as tough as a Peak Divine Transcendence suit of armor.

Yet he refused to relent.

With each heartbeat, Cain siphoned every last spark of vitality he had left, funneling it into his arms, shoulders, and core.

He practically used his own life as a lever, exchanging his vitality for every fraction of an inch that the halberd’s blade advanced.

His determination shone in his bloodshot eyes; there was no pulling back.  Despite the grievous wounds and the ethereal swords hindering her energy flow, the woman was far from helpless.

A surge of power coursed through her veins, granting her right arm enough mobility to swing in Cain’s direction.

She aimed to strike him off balance-if her blow landed, it would send him flying.

All his efforts, all the pain, all the sacrifice would be for nothing.

He had no free arms with which to defend himself-his hands were locked around the Shooting Star Dragon Halberd, and his legs were buried in the ground to give his body stability.

Yet, in that split second of desperation, Cain found a primal solution.

“Ahhh!” A shriek of pain split the air as the woman’s extended hand was intercepted-not by a weapon, but by Cain’s teeth.

He twisted his neck and bit down with all the ferocity he could muster, sinking his teeth into her flesh.

The raw force of her blow still crushed several bones in his jaw, sending lightning bolts of agony through his skull, but it also granted him another anchor point.

Now his entire body was locked in place-arms around the halberd’s shaft, legs dug into the scorched earth, and teeth embedded in the woman’s hand.

Against all logic, this grotesque maneuver stabilized his position even more, allowing him to push the Shooting Star Dragon Halberd deeper into her chest until its tip finally grazed her heart!

“You repulsive beast!

Begone!” Her voice trembled with a mixture of rage and panic.

Never had she imagined a Soul Realm cultivator could press her to this brink of vulnerability.

In her desperation, the woman flared her life force, unleashing a violent surge of energy.

The sudden onslaught shattered the nine ethereal swords that had been restraining her, setting her free.

That same force slammed into Cain like a cataclysmic wave, blasting him off her body.

His form skidded and rolled across the fractured earth like a ragdoll thrown by a giant’s hand, leaving a trail of dust and blood in his wake.

At once, she snapped up into the sky.

Her aura flared with unearthly brilliance, cosmic power flowing through her veins at full capacity.

The wound in her chest sealed at an alarming rate, regenerating flesh and mending severed muscle.

Yet, as her body knit itself back together, she felt a tiny, sharp sting in her heart.

Even though the visible external wound had vanished, there remained a minuscule slice within her heart-no more than a millimeter in length, but real enough to send jolts of pain through her every time her heart beat.

She had seen Cain as a gnat she could crush at her leisure.

Now, that gnat had drawn actual blood from her heart and left her with a deep and festering rage.

Her eyes flickered downward, targeting Cain once more.

He lay amid the rubble, his bones shattered in multiple places.

She could sense his life force and soul force flickering like a guttering candle, on the verge of extinguishing completely.

“Hmph.

A firefly,” she muttered.

The corners of her mouth curled in disdain.

In her eyes, this was how such a pitiful mortal ought to end-broken and bleeding, gasping at the threshold of death.

Still, her pride had taken enough of a blow for one day.

She would not risk another nasty surprise by moving in too close.

Hovering midair, she took a slow, deliberate breath, resuming that lofty composure she prided herself on.

Lifting her hand, she prepared to unleash a final, conclusive blow.

But something made her pause.

Below her, Cain’s body trembled violently.

Alarm seized her mind, compelling her to ascend even higher, putting more distance between them.

“This is impossible,” she hissed.

“He should be drained of soul force and life force.

There’s no way he can even stand.” Objectively, she was correct.

Cain’s vital energies should have been decimated by now, burned away.

His arms, legs, and even his jaw were all suffering severe trauma.

Yet at that moment, a swirl of multi-hued flames-thirty-one colors in total-erupted around him like a spinning halo, illuminating the charred battlefield.

The moment those flames appeared, Cain’s battered figure jerked upright.

A torrent of world energy spiraled in from every direction, funneling into his body.  “Impossible…” the woman whispered, a tremor slipping into her usually calm voice.

She knew how Tribulation Enhancement functioned.

She had witnessed it at high levels of cultivation and was well aware that it demanded an environment of absolute focus and relative safety.

One did not simply do it on a battlefield while broken and exhausted.

Yet here Cain was, battered nearly to death yet suddenly soaking in the swirling ocean of world energy, steadily mending fractured bones and restoring threads of life force.

In mere moments, she felt the atmosphere change-like a vortex had opened, pulling essence from the surroundings and channeling it directly into Cain’s cells.

He rose from the ground, cracks along his arms and torso gradually fusing, blood crusting over and then flaking off to reveal newly healed flesh.

Even his previously shattered face began to regain shape.  “How?

How is he able to do such things!?” The woman could not believe it, and she practically shouted, her voice resonating with bafflement and lingering fury.

“None of this should be possible for a mere Soul Realm… I don’t care what kind of monstrous talent he has; this is beyond reason!” Indeed, Cain did not control this phenomenon with conscious effort.

Instead, it was the Absolute Life Form System, which was the one in control.  CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Redsunworld Check the images in the comments
