The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1602

Chapter 1602: Swarm eternal
“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!”

Reverend Madness surged into the sky, his body wreathed in darkness, casting eternal shadows across the battlefield as he plunged toward Cain. His trident shimmered ominously, overflowing with dreadful power so immense that the entire continent suffered catastrophic earthquakes.

Cain felt an overwhelming sense of impending doom, his instincts screaming danger. The power emanating from Reverend Madness’s weapon was so colossal that it sealed the space around him, making it impossible to dodge or retreat.

Furthermore, after absorbing and merging with the ten Gu Monsters, Reverend Madness had acquired resistance against Cain’s psychic forces, rendering any counterattack futile.

The trident had not even reached him yet, but Cain already felt his skin burning from the immense pressure and destructive force radiating from it. Yet, despite being trapped in such a perilous situation, Cain’s eyes remained calm and tranquil.

In the face of certain doom, Cain released the Shooting Star Dragon Halberd, allowing it to fade into nothingness. He closed his eyes gently, taking a deep, tranquil breath.

Surprised and confused by Cain’s sudden abandonment of defense, Reverend Madness hesitated momentarily yet quickly dismissed any doubts.

“Your tricks will not deceive me!” roared Reverend Madness as his trident surged forward, aimed precisely toward Cain’s heart with unstoppable ferocity. At this decisive moment, Reverend Madness was utterly certain of victory, certain that this was the final blow that would end the young genius.

Yet, just as the trident neared Cain’s chest, his eyes opened once more, glowing with an unprecedented divine golden brilliance. That golden radiance carried an unfathomable majesty, captivating Reverend Madness and leaving the ancient creature astonished.

Before Reverend Madness could grasp the profound essence behind that golden glow, Cain calmly reached forward with his right hand. Under the horrified gaze of the ancient deity, Cain’s middle and index fingers made contact with the very tip of the deadly trident, the epicenter of all its accumulated might.

Such an action seemed nothing short of insanity, as simply touching such immense destructive force would typically obliterate a Prima Deity’s hand, possibly even annihilating the entire arm. Yet, inexplicably, nothing of that sort occurred.

Instead, the boundless energy—the kinetic force, momentum, spiritual essence, and destructive might contained within the trident—began to flow seamlessly and naturally from Reverend Madness’s weapon directly into Cain’s right arm. The sheer fluidity of energy transfer was astonishing, flawless, beyond any technique ever witnessed.

“Impossible… How?” Reverend Madness murmured in sheer disbelief, his eyes wide with horror.

Cain calmly replied with absolute confidence and tranquility, “The Flow: Redirection.”

At its fundamental level, Redirection allowed its wielder to absorb and re-channel energy-based attacks. Cain had often used it before, converting enemy spells into raw destructive power to strike back at foes. Yet now, after reaching Mind and Body as One, his mastery of this profound skill had evolved far beyond merely redirecting spiritual or magical forces; it extended seamlessly even to the kinetic and physical attacks of Prima Deities.

Cain’s entire body glowed vividly as small cracks formed along his right arm, rapidly expanding across his shoulder and into his torso. The overwhelming surge of absorbed energy rushed through his veins, gathering inside his abdomen. Despite the pain, Cain maintained impeccable control, channeling all that cataclysmic power into his right arm.

In that instant, Cain’s voice resonated with a commanding and solemn authority, as if the universe itself issued a divine decree.

“Die.”

His palm thrust forward, striking Reverend Madness’s chest and unleashing the concentrated, redirected power directly into the ancient monster’s body.

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!”

A dazzling explosion erupted, instantly dispelling the pervasive darkness that had enveloped the entire continent. The cataclysmic blast tore apart Reverend Madness’s torso, exposing his internal organs in a grotesque spectacle before hurling him violently downwards. His mangled body plummeted like a meteor, crashing into the distant landscape and disappearing deep within the shattered earth.

The Gu Cultivators observing the battle from afar stood frozen, completely overwhelmed by awe and disbelief. Witnessing Cain turn the ultimate attack of Reverend Madness into his own power was incomprehensible—such divine might surpassed all logic, defying everything they knew about cultivation.

Joy replaced their shock as the cultivators slowly realized what Cain’s victory meant. Should Reverend Madness win, they would all have been consumed without hesitation.

Cain himself allowed a small smile to form on his lips, relishing the sweet taste of triumph. Reverend Madness had proven far stronger than a typical Prima Deity, yet now he lay broken beneath him, wounded beyond recovery—or so Cain initially believed.

Just as a sense of relief began to settle upon the battlefield, a voice thundered from the heavens themselves, resonating throughout the continent, shocking Cain and every observer.

“Hmph! You disgusting monkey, do you truly believe you’ve defeated me!?”

Cain’s eyes sharpened instantly, staring upwards. Reverend Madness’s presence emanated from the world itself. Clearly, when it came to survival, Reverend Madness was unparalleled.

“I am Reverend Madness, founder of the Gu Sect, an Archdeity that stood unrivaled for half a billion years, a true World King who has witnessed the rise and fall of countless realms!” the ancient monster shouted, his voice trembling with barely contained fury and unyielding arrogance.

“You’ve merely stepped into the Mind and Body as One, barely scratching the surface. I’ve long reached its peak! Now, witness the true depth of my power!”

Cain sensed danger immediately, his instincts warning him vividly. His golden eyes narrowed as he readied himself, anticipating the next attack.

“Swarm eternal, unyielding—death feeds my endless rebirth!”

Those words echoed with chilling finality, and suddenly, billions upon billions of monstrous Gu insects burst forth from the void, cascading downwards, converging on the crater where Reverend Madness had crashed. The sight of this oceanic swarm of monstrous insects, each radiating nightmarish energy, was enough to darken the hearts of even the bravest cultivators.

More and more of those nightmarish inspect faded inside the crater, and in seconds, the entire content began to tremble with shocking and terrifying cataclysmic ferocity, and then it happened.
