The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1560

Chapter 1560: Back to full power!
A ragged breath escaped Cain’s lips, but other than that subtle sign of exertion, no wounds marred his body. He had decimated the entire battalion easily, relying solely on his Essence Evolution Path of Power—the only path currently at his disposal.

As he surveyed his surroundings, taking in the tens of thousands of unconscious or comatose cultivators, his eyes grew cold. With a single wave of his hand, all those defeated fighters were drawn into his Luminous Phoenix Heart.

The result was swift and merciless. Their bodies were incinerated almost instantly, while their Gu Insects were transferred into the Star Sealing Cage rune on Cain’s forearm. Almost immediately, waves of vitality surged through his own flesh and blood, concentrating on the Rebirth Heart in his chest. This influx of life energy rapidly mended any physical and spiritual damage remaining from his prior clash with Marlin.

Finally, as the last body was consumed, a sudden change rippled through Cain’s form.

“Thump!”

A deep heartbeat resounded, raw power radiating from his Rebirth Heart—the core of his Astral Rebirth Path of Power.

“Thump! Thump!”

A second, a third…and then more, each mighty beat echoing like a primeval bell, heralding the rebirth of something immense. The tenth and final pulse thundered through Cain’s body, and in that moment, the seal placed by the Absolute Life Form System—a protective measure while his Rebirth Heart recovered—shattered.

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!”

A burst of power exploded from Cain’s being, channeling a torrent of Star Power and Astral Origin through his veins—energies so intense they could have rivaled the scorching core of the Gu World’s sun.

“Hahahahahahah!”

A booming laughter escaped him, reverberating across the silent sky. After two months of relentless fighting—consuming the life force of millions—his Astral Rebirth Path of Power was fully restored at last.

Almost immediately, Cain circulated his Essence Origin, merging it with his newly rejuvenated Astral Origin. The two forces intertwined flawlessly, producing a milky-white energy that acted as a catalyst for Laws and physical might. This Unified Origin Energy emanated outward, causing the very air around him to hum with power.

In response, the Shooting Star Dragon Cultivation Technique awakened in full force. A gigantic, otherworldly dragon materialized briefly behind Cain, its form composed of fire, shadow, and elemental embers. Only with the Essence Evolution and Astral Rebirth Paths activated in tandem could the technique reveal its true potential.

Brimming with curiosity—an attribute that had often driven him to explore the limitless boundaries of cultivation—Cain issued a mental command:

“System, scan me!”

A familiar, mechanical voice echoed in his mind, listing out streams of data.

A radiant smile lit Cain’s features as he took in the enhanced physical attributes and the massive boost to his Soul Force, now that both of his Sacred Organs—the Rebirth Heart and the Evolution Core—were functioning at peak condition.

“I’m just one step away from reaching the Middle Divine Transformation in the Essence Evolution Path,” he murmured, eyes gleaming with ambition. “That breakthrough would propel my Soul Force to the threshold of Divine Transcend.”

Excitement coursed through him. His gaze then landed on the golden orb embedded in his right forearm—the embryonic Gu Insect he had contained earlier. It would not be long, he believed, before he had complete control over it, ensuring he possessed a personal Gu Insect aligned entirely to his will.

Galvanized by the resurgence of power, Cain shifted his focus to the distant silhouette of the Frozen Peak, the stronghold of Core Elder Karun. Without hesitating, he launched himself forward, aura flaring openly like a blazing beacon in the sky.

Inside Cain’s soul dimension, a certain spectator stirred. The Sky Sovereign, whose consciousness resided there, observed Cain’s movements through a window that allowed him to monitor external events.

“Boy, what are you doing?” the Sky Sovereign’s deep voice resonated in Cain’s mind, tinged with apprehension.

He watched with rising concern as Cain accelerated straight toward Core Elder Karun’s headquarters. The original plan had been a methodical approach. But now, Cain appeared ready to confront them head-on.

A slow grin spread across Cain’s face as his eyes gleamed with fierce intent.

“Isn’t it obvious?” he replied telepathically. “I’m going to fight Core Elder Karun and everyone else inside that fortress. I’m certain there are multiple Peak Divine Transcend Essence Evolution Masters in there. Their Evolution Cores are exactly what I need to nurture my World Tree Sapling and evolve my Inner World.”

As he spoke, Cain accelerated, his form blurring with speed.

“But it’s too dangerous,” the Sky Sovereign warned. Despite his own vast knowledge, he was alarmed by how bold Cain was being.

Cain’s mental response came instantly, full of might and determination. “So what if it’s dangerous? I have a body that fewer than a hundred people in this entire realm can even harm. My Astral Rebirth and Essence Evolution Paths are finally working in unison again. What’s the point of all this power if I just play it safe?”
