One-Eyed Monster

The appearance of backlash was indeed a headache for the Soul Devourer for a while.

But as a battle-hardened individual, he didn’t lose his composure due to this brief anomaly.

He is a king among Soul Devourers, stronger even than the Soul Devourer Master, who excels because he can control those Soul Devourers, and the Devouring Power is limited to the internal realm of the Soul Devourers. However, his Devouring Power is far wider in scope.

Even against the Kayne Royal Family, the pioneers of the professional world, he can still devour.

Though this devouring process is not yet complete, until now the entire devouring is just in the initial stage.

He greatly admires the resistance of the Kayne Royal Family; even after being suppressed for so long, they haven’t given up resisting.

During these years of suppression, he sensed the strong will of the Kayne Royal Family, felt their extraordinary patience, and perceived their infinite wisdom.

Resolute resistance comes from the unyielding defiance of King Kayne. Patience derives from the sporadic nature of the resistance throughout the process, suggesting the king is not recklessly resisting but strategically resisting, demonstrating his cunning. In every aspect, it’s evident King Kayne is unlike those reckless ones who, driven only by instinct, perform futile struggles and ultimately cannot defeat the powerful Soul Devourer, being devoured instead.

King Kayne’s resistance resembles a journey of exploration, maintaining his independence and continually searching for opportunities to counterattack, progressing step by step.

This strong sense of logic allows King Kayne to discover patterns; the power of the strong will manifest unwittingly. Each strong individual possesses an indomitable spirit, and in critical moments they erupt with astounding power that helps them overcome hardships, leading to rebirth.

No matter how feeble their state appears, they will always make crucial decisions at pivotal moments, never abandoning themselves, persevering with unwavering determination.

The Soul Devourer knows that it won’t be long before King Kayne stands on equal footing with him.

Simplistically speaking, backlash is merely a contest between two energies. Given King Kayne’s current state, he will soon fully master this skill and launch a fierce counterattack.

The Soul Devourer is acutely aware of this; he is the king of devouring and will not take this lightly. When two consciousnesses with control over energy clash within one body, the original consciousness of the body has a certain advantage. However, being a king, he naturally knows how to leverage strengths while mitigating weaknesses, and knows how to make the opponent uncomfortable.

The Soul Devourer is already prepared for battle; at this moment, he is completely focused, having moved past earlier sentimentality and reflection.

Ultimately, this concerns his existence; success or failure will determine his fate.

Success might allow him to linger for a while, though surviving means facing the repulsive Kuyi Tulan. But regardless, survival means hope.

Yet if he utterly fails this time, only disappearance awaits him; beings like him cannot even reach the Eternal Tranquility Realm.

With this in mind, the Soul Devourer became more cautious.

He faces the Kayne royal family, ancient adventurers with class.

The Kayne royal family can be said to have pioneered the entire adventurer community; they achieved royal status because their strength is formidable enough. Their power is so immense that everyone wishes to follow them, powerful enough to withstand everything.

The Kayne royal family are pioneers; they are the first awakened people on this continent, the earliest to awaken the spirits here.

Their family legacy carries the unique abilities of the creators through generations, no matter how harsh the era. The spirit of resilience from the Kayne royal family always captivates each generation.

Everyone knows the story of Kayne, which is passed down throughout the Kayne Empire, an empire named after their family.

Without some skill, one wouldn’t become the royal family of this empire, a place of origin for adventurers, where their legacy is most illustrious.

In contrast to Kayne, other empires, whether Mantai or Wensi, depend on unique physiques and various species within their borders to sustain them.

In comparison, adventurers in these empires possess only rudimentary knowledge, akin to children.

These facts are unquestionable. If Mantai People didn’t have robust physiques, they couldn’t tame so many beasts nor compete for territory in lands populated by Mountain Monsters and Dwarves. Similarly, if Vero People didn’t possess scheming personalities, they wouldn’t survive in the domains of the ingenious Tree Spirits and Water Spirits.

The ancestors of Kayne were once among Mantai People and Vero People, but they were expelled due to failing to meet the physique requirements of their kin.

For survival, they discovered many new powers.

And it’s precisely these new powers that allowed them to survive.

And establish the vast Kayne Empire.

Exploration is the greatest hallmark of the Kayne Empire.

This is also the key reason for the growth and development of this nation.

Without exploration, Kayne’s ancestors wouldn’t have cultivated edible vegetation in barren lands, nor would they have found fertile soil, nor constructed a vast system of adventurers.

Exploration is the most precious treasure of the Kayne Royal Family.

Nobody can clearly define what profession the Kayne Royal Family belongs to. Most royal family members excel in Physique Technique, but they are not Fighters. They are skilled in Hunter’s techniques, yet difficult to classify as Hunters. Similarly, their mastery of Natural Force reaches high levels, but no one perceives them as Wizards. Astonishingly, they always use vast knowledge to explain the complex Alchemy Equation, making it impossible to determine if they are Alchemists or Scholars.

The Kayne Royal Family possesses the characteristics of various adventurers with class, knowing a little about each. Although they may not excel in every area, their expertise is also not at a novice level.

Every member of the Kayne Royal Family loses freedom from birth.

Their time must be dedicated to all kinds of books, intensive training, and numerous trials.

Because only then can they become a qualified royal family member, giving hope to safeguard their people.

From a young age, Kayne royal family members endure various forms of honing; all special training aims to enable them to explore in their unique ways.

Because only in this way can they become qualified leaders.

The ancestors of Kayne consistently advise their descendants with a saying: if they feel entitled to sit on this throne, they must continually explore the unknown.

Because only then, can they overcome their fear of the unknown.
