The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1540

Chapter 1540: Spirit Tribulation Enhancement (II) Chapter 1540: Spirit Tribulation Enhancement (II) Not even three seconds had passed since the flame with thirty-one colors flooded the winged demonic snake when a sea of world energy surged into the Soul Dimension, pouring into it with unrestrained force.

Cain’s eyes sharpened as his entire focus locked onto Leviathan.

Unlike a typical Tribulation Enhancement, where one simply absorbs the world’s energy and allows the body to assimilate it, only having to worry about avoiding any form of stagnation, a Spirit Tribulation Enhancement requires a much more delicate and dangerous process.

The Tribulation Enhancer needed to fuse the energy into the very particles of spiritual and psychic force that formed the Alter-Ego.

If the process failed, the world energy would taint the spiritual and psychic forces, weakening their integrity.

This imbalance could cause a catastrophic collapse, shattering the Alter-Ego and, in the process, destroying the mind, ego, and memories of the cultivator.

In essence, you fail, you die.  Cain raised his hand, his mind shutting out everything else.

He devoted himself entirely to guiding the waves of world energy and merging them with Leviathan.

At first, the process seemed to work as intended.

The world energy was gradually fusing with the psychic forces shaping the Alter-Ego, a sight that brought a brief but genuine smile to Cain’s lips.

But that relief was short-lived.

The fusion was taking too long.

The untamed world energy was accumulating inside the Alter-Ego, surging wildly through Leviathan’s unstable form, making the situation even worse.

Without proper control, the energy was becoming chaotic, worsening the instability of the winged demonic serpent.

Cain’s brows furrowed as he struggled to accelerate the process, but he knew he was at a critical threshold.

The Sky Sovereign, watching from the sidelines, could not help but show confusion flashing in his ancient eyes.

Cain was methodical, often executing dangerous schemes with careful planning and strategy, but attempting to stabilize an Alter-Ego through a Spirit Tribulation Enhancement seemed rash and reckless.

There were many paths Cain could have taken in order to overcome this ordeal, yet he had chosen the most impulsive one that would cost him his life.

However, the Sky Sovereign’s thoughts were interrupted when something truly bizarre happened.

Just when it seemed like Leviathan would collapse, the world energy fused with its particles at an astonishing rate.

The previously chaotic energy, which had been on the verge of destabilizing Leviathan completely, fused into the Alter-Ego in seconds.

Not only that-every drop of incoming world energy immediately followed suit, fusing with the winged demonic snake without any form of resistance and at a simply shocking speed.

It was as if the one in charge was not a man but an all-powerful machine.

The Sky Sovereign stared in disbelief.

This was the second time he had witnessed Cain performing something that should have been impossible regarding Tribulation Enhancement.

The first time was during the battle against the woman, where he healed himself mid-fight using Tribulation Enhancement-the process carrying on its own without him giving it a second thought.

And now, it was happening again, but on an even grander scale.

The old phantom ran a hand through his spectral form and let out a groan of frustration.

There was no logical explanation.

Nothing in his vast knowledge of cultivation could justify what he had just seen.

But he knew better than to waste his time dwelling on mysteries he could not solve.

Cain was clearly full of secrets, and the Sky Sovereign doubted he would ever uncover them all.

Shaking his head, he returned his focus to the destruction of the Karmic Seal.

Cain, meanwhile, observed Leviathan’s condition with a complicated expression.

Ideally, he would have been able to perform the Spirit Tribulation Enhancement on his own.

But the truth was painfully clear-his skill level simply wasn’t high enough.

He had been forced to rely on the [Enhancement Module], draining a considerable amount of Spiritual Destiny Force.

It was a price he was willing to pay, but that didn’t mean he liked it.

For the past several years, Cain had accumulated a significant amount of SDF.

His rise in cultivation, the countless enemies he had slain, and the completion of the Sky Sovereign’s Tomb had all contributed to his reserves.

But it was not endless.

Cain had already been forced to spend a thousand SDF during the battle against the woman, and while his victory over a Third Realm life form had strengthened his destiny, he had just been forced to spend another two thousand SDF.

That left him with barely three hundred points in reserve.

The realization did not sit well with him.

Not only did it mean he would be unable to evolve any of his modules aside from the [A.I.

Chip Module] once his soul force reached the Divine Transcendence Realm, but it also meant he had no reserves for emergencies.

Running out of SDF at a critical moment could mean the difference between life and death.

“Future problem for the future me.” Cain sighed but shrugged off the thought.

Right now, his only concern was ensuring Leviathan’s recovery.

He put aside his worries about SDF depletion and focused on the healing of his Alter-Ego.

As the last traces of world energy fused into the winged demonic serpent, its size began to expand once more.

The once-feeble form strengthened, growing back to two hundred thousand meters.

Its instability faded significantly, though not entirely.

Cain observed the results with a neutral expression.

While he would have preferred the Spirit Tribulation Enhancement to fully restore Leviathan to its peak, this had only been a 31 Revolutions Refinement.

He couldn’t expect miracles.

Cain took a deep breath as he sent a command.

“System, scan the Alter-Ego and show me its condition.” Immediately, the System’s power surged through the Soul Dimension, focusing on Leviathan.

A mechanical voice echoed in Cain’s mind the next second.

[The Alter-Ego has healed, and its condition is no longer in danger of dispersing.

However, residual damage remains.

Continued use could trigger instability once more.

The Host is advised to seal the Alter-Ego and refrain from using its power until full recovery is achieved.]
