The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1532

Chapter 1532: Back to the sender Chapter 1532: Back to the sender Cain’s willpower, soul, and body had come to terms with the finality of death.

Ironically, that acceptance brought him to a sublime state of quietude.

All the worries of the world-each future plan, every scheme, and the endless machinations he had juggled since taking up the mantle of the Scarlet King-simply faded.

For the first time in ages, his mind felt free.

There was neither burden nor regret, only an expansive serenity.

At this moment, Cain sensed a deeper connection to the universe than he ever had before.

The golden light in his eyes intensified, growing brighter and brighter.

For an instant, the barrier that separated him from the rest of existence vanished, granting him an inkling of profound oneness with everything.

At the cellular and even atomic level, it felt as if his being fell into perfect harmony with the cosmos.

Time seemed to slow down.

A surge of absolute enlightenment flickered through his consciousness, prompting him to close his eyes in silent awe.

His final thought at that moment was a simple yet profound realization.

‘Everything is connected.

The earth and the sky, the water in the oceans and the fire in the volcanoes, the fish and the bear-even that woman and me.

We are all part of a flow that began before time itself.’ That clarity crystallized in his mind like a guiding star.

As the revelation swept through him, Cain opened his eyes.

They blazed with a golden glow-brighter than a supernova.

In the next heartbeat, he raised his left hand, reaching out with his index and middle fingers toward the colossal incarnation of cosmic might descending upon him.

This beastly fusion of a bull and serpent, conjured by the enraged Third Realm woman, boasted a force capable of wiping out a small world.

Then, something unimaginable happened-something that defied every logical law of nature, something only describable as a miracle.

Rather than pulverizing his fingers on contact, the gargantuan bull-serpent hybrid’s energy began to flow into Cain’s body!

The woman froze in midair, completely stunned.

Her mind and soul reeled at the sight: the massive incarnation-larger than a moon-vanished into the young man’s slender frame.

This was her strongest technique, an ability she had mastered after millions of years of training.

Her willpower could not reconcile how it had been undone so effortlessly.

Yet, from Cain’s perspective, the danger was far from over.

The energy did not simply vanish; it now surged through his left arm.

Faint cracks appeared along his flesh, and radiant blue light seeped out, hinting that his body was on the brink of destruction.

The power threatening to blow him to pieces in less than a second still raged, but Cain did not succumb to fear or panic.

Instead, his gaze remained eerily calm, as though he were in the eye of a cosmic storm.

‘I have to act or this energy will destroy me immediately,’ he thought, though no outward sign of alarm crossed his face.

Carefully, he guided the foreign energy from his left arm toward his shoulder and then down into his stomach.

In that fleeting instant, he encountered no resistance from his cells.

For now, he was attuned to the frequency of the universe itself, permitting the energy to flow through him like a river.

Once it reached his abdomen, the energy underwent a revolution-it shed the remnants of its original master’s intent, transforming into pure, unrestricted cosmic force.

No longer was it the woman’s unstoppable spell.

Though still ferociously potent, it was far simpler for Cain to manipulate.

‘But I can’t keep so much power inside me for long-even purged of her will, it’s deadly,’ he realized.

So he directed the swirling cosmic surge from his stomach toward his right hand.

More cracks splintered across his flesh, illustrating how, even with his newfound enlightenment, this power bordered on what his frame could endure.

Each breath threatened to tear him apart.

Still, he bore with it, moving the current of energy until it pooled at his right index and middle fingers.

With painful slowness, he pointed that hand at the woman high in the sky, barely steady enough to aim.

“Die.” The single syllable left his lips without rancor, uttered more as a statement of fact than a curse.

At that very moment, all the energy he had absorbed ignited outward, triggering an explosion that shook the Everlife Continent once more.

This time, however, the caster was not a venerable Prima Deity of the Third Realm but a Soul Realm cultivator named Cain.

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!” The detonation obliterated Cain’s right hand and part of his forearm, yet he took no heed of the pain or the grisly dismemberment.

A cannon of blue energy soared into the sky, carrying the same destructive potency as the woman’s ultimate spell.

Its release sent the ocean beneath Cain’s feet into chaotic turmoil.

Space-time itself shuddered as the blast parted reality, leaving no force able to hinder its momentum.

At last, the woman snapped out of her daze.

Every instinct in her ancient mind screamed, not merely in alarm but in raw terror.

At the beginning of their battle, she had derided him as an ant unworthy of concern-yet now her survival hung by a thread.

In desperation, she unleashed the full might of her cultivation.

Energy flared around her, forming an immense sphere of churning water-a makeshift cocoon intended to cushion the blow.

But there was not enough time to perfect her defense.

In a fraction of a second, the blazing blue energy cannon, powerful enough to bring cataclysm to a small world, crashed into her position.

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!” A new explosion reverberated across the skies.

When that ultimate attack landed, it birthed an event of near-cataclysmic magnitude, shredding space and obliterating the stellar ocean she had summoned with such painstaking effort.

The cosmic waters, once swirling majestically, dissipated into nothingness under the overwhelming force.

For a moment, the entire region was blotted out in a brilliance so intense it was as though the heavens had opened to unleash a newborn star.

Shockwaves fanned outward, tearing through the environment.
