The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 768
Chapter 768: Abyssal Frost Falchion (II) Chapter 768: Abyssal Frost Falchion (II) After receiving a nod from the Scarlet King, the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar sent the treasures he had toward the Samsara Flame without hesitation, including the Soul Flag and, finally, the corpse of the Chimera King.
Cain focused on the amount of Fortune obtained from the corpse of the Chimera King, as he wanted to know the difference between giving a treasure with a soul and one without to the Samsara Flame.
Compared to the Unbreakable King that the Collapsing Lightning Duke sacrificed to the Samsara Flame, the Chimera King produced half the Fortune.
That meant that a sacrifice without a soul was 50% less valuable.
Luckily for the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, the sacrifice of the Soul Flag generated a massive amount of Fortune, showing just how much the Samsara Flame liked to consume evil things.
After all the sacrifices, the amount of Fortune that the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar obtained was slightly less than what the Collapsing Lightning Duke received his first time.
Next came the most meaningful part, as the Fortune was divided into two streams.
One contained around 65% of the Fortune and transformed into a sword that gleamed with an otherworldly light.
Its surface was etched with intricate runes that pulsed with a soft, eerie glow.
At the center of the sword was a prominent clock-like symbol containing a dark gray star that irradiated an immense amount of energy.
The blade was adorned with elaborate details, swirling patterns, and embedded gems or orbs that seemed to hold celestial bodies, emanating an eerie and cold aura.
The pupil in Cain’s Space-Time Eye narrowed as he focused on the sword.
He could see that the nature of the white aura it unleashed was connected to the power of time, more specifically, the ability to freeze the particles that form matter in the main plane of existence, essentially freezing time.
However, before Cain or the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar could understand the sword’s nature, what remained of the Fortune transformed into two beams.
The one containing 99% of the Merit flashed toward the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, while Cain obtained the other.
Immediately, a wave of pain coursed through every nerve of the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, and he felt it nowhere else more clearly than on his hand as a rune began to form.
He clenched his teeth and endured until all of the Merit had transformed into a pentagram-like rune on the back of his hand.
Cain’s eyes narrowed as he saw that no voice came from the Samsara Flame.
However, as he focused on the rune in the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar’s hand, he saw that it was not fully completed yet.
It was close but still lacked a bit. That made sense, considering the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar obtained less Fortune than the Collapsing Lightning Duke.
Yet, his Gift consumed more of the bright purple energy, leaving less for Merit.
“You are still a little short of completing the Tier I Rebirth Mark, but do not worry; you can obtain more Merit by fighting in the Death Forest.
Engrave your Ego Wave in your Gift.” The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar was a little disappointed that his Rebirth Mark was not complete, but he could feel it did not need much more.
Without wasting time, he turned toward the eerie sword floating in the sky and sent in his Ego Wave.
As soon as the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar’s white force field touched the sword, it consumed it, making his face grow pale.
However, the next second, the sword flashed toward him, reaching into his grip.
The trio heard a voice from the Samsara Flame explaining the nature of that ominous sword.
“Congratulations on obtaining the Tier I Gift, the Abyssal Frost Falchion.
It is a revered Natural Inheritance embodying the unyielding essence of ice and its connection with time.
Crafted from a singular core of a dying Ice Star that an Abyssal Time Lord once used to replace his own heart.
Follow new episodes on the "N0vel1st.c0m".
It flawlessly fuses the powers from the Ice Star and the entity’s demonic soul.” The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar was shocked for a moment due to the majesty of the voice, yet soon his focus returned to the sword that seemed to blend with his arm.
As he focused on it, a new wave of shock appeared in his eyes as he looked at the Scarlet King and the Collapsing Lightning Duke.
“There is a set of runes inside the Abyssal Frost Falchion.
They will help me draw the sword’s unique abilities, and that is not all since it seems I can meditate on them to obtain power over Ice Star Power and Time Star Power!” Cain’s eyes widened as he heard that, and soon, a meaningful light appeared in them.
The fact that both the Gravity Fall Armor and Abyssal Frost Falchion had those runic sets engraved inside them meant that high-level Natural Inheritances contained those sorts of powers, offering more than just a weapon but a cultivation path.
“That is good.
Okay, let’s get out.” The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar’s eyes were full of thrill as his entire focus was on the sword, yet the moment he heard Cain’s voice, it was like nothing more mattered, and he followed the young man.
The trio did not take long to move close to the Death Forest.
“Hone your abilities by facing the Soul Automatons.
They are powerful, but as long as you pull back, they will not chase.
Killing those who pose a challenge will grant you Merit.
Although obtaining Merit like that is much slower than through sacrifices, it should help you, James, complete your Tier I Rebirth Mark in the coming month.” The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar nodded with a smile as he was eager to test the strength of the Abyssal Frost Falchion, but a solemn expression appeared in the Collapsing Lightning Duke.
