The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1598

Chapter 1598: Path of Conquest: Endless Dominion!
Cain did not notice the awe and worship filling the eyes of the cultivators surrounding him. At this moment, he was completely immersed in a state of pure bliss, experiencing a profound and monumental transformation.

It felt as though infinite chains, invisible yet heavy, which had limited his perception and understanding of reality, had suddenly shattered. The universe revealed itself to him in unprecedented clarity, showing him its purest form, unmarred by illusion.

“It’s almost as if a veil has been lifted. So this is how it feels to become a Third Realm lifeform, to finally stand equal to the Laws of reality,” Cain murmured softly, his eyes glowing brilliantly with newfound enlightenment.

However wondrous the feeling was, Cain maintained his sharp focus. Clarity returned swiftly to his eyes, and he immediately turned his gaze back toward Reverend Madness, his resolve unwavering. Without another word, Cain extended his right hand, and instantly, the Shooting Star Dragon Halberd manifested in a blaze of cosmic power, radiating a fearsome aura.

Reverend Madness’ expression grew intense and sharp as he tightened his grip around his trident of darkness. The full might of his cultivation and the depth of his ancient willpower burst forth, violently shaking the sky and earth alike.

“RUMBLE!!!”

The cultivators present stood frozen in terror and amazement as the mountain range trembled beneath their feet. It quickly became apparent that the tremors were not confined to their battlefield.

Instead, earthquakes spread rapidly outward, cracking open vast stretches of land and shattering the continent. Within moments, the cultivators could even sense an unsettling shift across the entire planet. The Gu World itself seemed to quake in submission before the tremendous power being unleashed by these two supreme beings.

Though Reverend Madness maintained an outwardly composed demeanor, internally he felt genuine astonishment. He could hardly believe what he was witnessing—a cultivator who had yet to reach one hundred years of age had ascended to the Third Realm and through the most arduous path imaginable. Even by the standards of an ancient entity like himself, who had survived for nearly half a billion years, Cain Laurifer had become a true Monster.

Yet, despite the oppressive power Cain displayed, Reverend Madness quickly identified a crucial weakness. Cain had only just ascended; it was unlikely he possessed full control or mastery of his newfound strength. The old deity’s eyes narrowed thoughtfully.

“Forging the Concept Core and knowing how to properly channel its power into combat abilities are two entirely different matters,” Reverend Madness thought, trying to reassure himself. “I must take advantage of his inexperience and end him now.”

Yet, even as this strategy crossed Reverend Madness’ mind, Cain calmly took a deep breath. In an instant, the young man’s powerful Ego Wave surged outward, manifesting into trillions of brilliant scarlet sigils. These sigils spread with astonishing speed, blanketing the entire continent in a massive domain of absolute power and authority.

Cain’s voice thundered clearly and decisively, resonating with unmatched authority.

“Path of Conquest: Endless Dominion!”

A profound shift occurred as these words echoed through the shattered mountains and fractured plains. Within Cain’s domain, energy, matter, and even the fundamental Laws themselves trembled, succumbing to his will without resistance.

Streams of power surged into Cain’s body at astonishing speed, fueling his existence with an overwhelming surge of strength and boundless energy. It was as if the entire world had acknowledged his dominion, bowing obediently to his overwhelming presence.

Yet the terrifying capability of this technique went even further. Its true might did not merely amplify Cain’s own strength; it also allowed him absolute control over the environment, cutting off others’ connections to the energy and Laws of the universe.

Instantly, the Divine Transcendence Masters present felt their cultivation bases plunge dramatically. Losing access to the Laws and energies they depended upon, their strength plummeted by more than seventy-five percent. Even a Prima Deity like Reverend Madness, whose cultivation base allowed resistance to such suppression, immediately sensed his strength diminish by at least fifteen percent merely from standing within Cain’s domain.

Reverend Madness’ eyes widened with genuine shock, disbelief spreading visibly across his face.

“Impossible!” he growled, utterly unable to accept what was unfolding. He could not comprehend how a newly ascended cultivator could wield such sophisticated and high-level abilities.

Yet what Reverend Madness did not realize was that Cain had not forged his own Concept Core through ordinary means. That task had fallen entirely upon the Absolute Life Form System. Not only did it perfectly fuse these Concepts, but it also created unique and powerful abilities, embedding them deeply within Cain’s soul, ready to burst forth the very instant Cain broke through.

Of course, Cain had no intention of standing still to explain any of this. He merely looked ahead with fierce eyes, filled now with undisguised killing intent. Taking a single step forward, he warped the very fabric of space-time beneath his feet, instantly appearing directly before Reverend Madness.

Holding the Shooting Star Dragon Halberd high above his head, Cain unleashed a devastating strike accompanied by a roar that shook the heavens themselves.

“Path of Conquest: Devourer’s Sovereign Flame!”

Scarlet flames erupted violently from the halberd, blazing brighter and hotter than the core of the Gu World’s sun. Reverend Madness could barely react, swiftly tilting his head to narrowly dodge a direct blow to his skull.

Yet the strike still landed squarely upon his chest, slicing effortlessly through armor and flesh alike before igniting a tremendous explosion of scarlet flames. The colossal blast hurled Reverend Madness backward across the sky, sending him hurtling thousands of kilometers away, leaving a trail of burning cosmic flames in his wake.

Lucius, Zorcer, and the other Gu Sect cultivators watched the scene unfold in stunned disbelief. Reverend Madness, a being they had viewed as a living nightmare and thought utterly undefeatable, had been decisively repelled with a single strike by Cain.

However, their astonishment quickly turned to horror as Cain slowly turned his intense gaze toward them. Fear gripped every heart present as they recalled the fraught history between Cain Laurifer and their sect. All knew Cain had entered the Gu World to exact revenge, to kill those who had wronged him. Now, weakened and suppressed within his domain, none of them stood a chance against him. They were nothing more than helpless prey awaiting judgment.
