The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 561: The power of dual cultivation (II)

Just like the Soul King, Cainʼs eyes were full of calm and coldness as he uttered those words, and his eyes glowed with a red light that made them resemble suns capable of sundering all darkness.

The Soul King and Cain locked eyes, each filled with killing intent, as they calmly walked toward each other, seemingly impervious to the dozens of explosions happening every second around them.

The Godslayer Human and Dark King were unleashing all the power in their bodies and souls, and only now would the true battle start.

”BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!”

Once Cain and the Soul King were precisely one hundred meters away from each other, they disappeared, only to reappear the next second in the middle of the battlefield, with Slaughter clashing against the broadsword.

Waves of Blood Energy and powerful oceanic force spread everywhere, forming a tornado, with Cain and the Soul King in the center.

The explosion was overwhelming, to the point that the shockwaves pushed those around them away. The only way to describe its power was at the Divine Ranks!

Cain clenched his teeth as he resisted the immense pressure behind the broadsword, feeling the bones in his arms tremble, but he did not pull back. Luckily for him, the Sun Armor improved his already impressive defensive powers, and the Radiance of Strength pushed him even higher.

The Soul King was also using the full power of his battle vessel. While he surpassed Cain in terms of strength, waves of sharp energy emanated from Slaughter, generating cuts on his arms that could overcome his armor and exoskeleton.

”¡AHHHHHH!”

”¡AHHHHHH!”

Cain and the Soul King roared as they pushed their bodies to the limits before being blasted in opposite directions, crashing into the walls with so much strength that they made holes in them. However, before a second could pass, the duo had flashed back into the fray and continued clashing again.

The Soul King raised his broadsword and waved it down at Cainʼs incoming figure, the crushing oceanic pressure behind the attack overwhelmingly high, capable of leveling an entire city.

Cain saw the power of the attack but showed no fear in his eyes. Just as it was about to reach him, his Blood Wings waved as the power of the Space Law burst, distorting space.

”BOOOOOMMMMM!”

The Soul King saw the explosion that his broadsword unleashed upon touching the ground, but there was no smile on his face as Cain had managed to vanish before he could connect his attack. It didnʼt take him long to find the young man, as he only had to turn to the side to see Cain waving Slaughter toward him.

Using the Law of Space, Cain managed to distort space, and by combining the power of Blood Wings and Asura Form, he moved so fast that it seemed that it resembled teleportation, something near impossible to achieve when space was flooded with destructive energy.

Even though Slaughter carried so much power that it could sever in half the head of an Early Divine Beast, the Soul King did not lose his calm as he released his grip over the broadsword. Without the weapon, the Soul Kingʼs hands moved fast enough to appear in front of his head. Before Slaughter could land, the broadsword teleported into his grip, allowing him to use the weapon as a shield.

”BOOOOOMMMMMMM!”

A massive explosion echoed once Cainʼs Slaughter clashed with the broadsword, discharging the Quantum Laceration charged in it, pushing the Soul King with immense power against one of the walls.

The Soul King pucked a mouthful of blood, but the weapon fulfilled its purpose as a shield, protecting the man from serious injury.

Cainʼs eyes were sharp, as the martial skill of the Soul King was nothing but majestic, greater than any of the enemies he had faced before, even the Blood King. In that previous attack, he had used all his power, combining the might of his Law Mastery and physical might.

However, the Soul King still managed to defend himself and sustain very few injuries, whereas anyone else would have at least suffered a severe wound.

The might of his enemy only made Cainʼs killing intent burst as he flashed forward with all his power.

The Soul King had regained control over his body, and as he saw Cain flashing toward him, the soul force in his eyes exploded. Soon, the surroundings began to change as his Astral Wave infused space, generating an oceanic domain around him.

Once again, the Soul King managed to use one of the unique abilities of the Kraken Lineage, Ocean Domain, with a proficiency that surpassed all the clanʼs geniuses.

Cain could feel the pressure of that domain and knew his speed would be restricted, but he did not slow down and flashed forward, pushing his Blood Wings and Spatial Phase to the limit, hacking with Slaughter at full speed.

The Soul King showed the same killing intent as Cain, and once again, he waved his broadsword, unleashing all its power.

---

”¡BOOM!” ”¡BOOM!” ”¡BOOM!”

Explosions of Blood Energy and oceanic force echoed across the battlefield as Cain and the Soul King clashed dozens of times every second, the blade and broadsword moving at a shocking speed.

The duo did not restrict their movements and occupied the entire route. The warriors from the Solis Clan, Zanginis Clan, Umbra Clan, and Kraken Clan could only move away as the duo approached them or else risk becoming collateral damage to their fight.

Not even Zamuel, Lore, Talon, or Robert could endure being next to the duo as they were unleashing the power of Early Divine Ascension Masters.

”Quantum Laceration!”

”Oceanic Dash!”

A blast of Blood Energy reinforced by the power of space clashed with a wave of oceanic energy as the blade and broadsword collided. Cain and the Soul King had already clashed for over ten minutes, and their bodies were riddled with wounds. The Godslayer Humanʼs bones had all sorts of microfractures, while deep lacerations appeared in the battle vessel.

Cain could not use Radiance of Life to heal himself, as he needed to focus all the might of his Ego Wave on Radiance of Strength to match the Soul Kingʼs strength. His power was immense, but his energy pool was diminishing at a staggering rate, and he would not be able to carry on for too long.

Luckily, he was not the only one in a race against time, as the Soul King also had a limited amount of time before his battle power diminished immensely. The reason was that Norkuoʼs life force was growing increasingly weak.

It wasnʼt just the attacks that were diminishing Norkuoʼs life force. The main reason was that to improve Norkuoʼs strength and achieve a perfect battle vessel, the Soul King sacrificed the old manʼs life force.

Despite their bloody appearance and wounds, Cain and the Soul King were still full of killing intent, and their eyes glowed as they prepared to break the stalemate and land a decisive blow.

”BOOOOOOMMM!”

A new explosion echoed as the Soul King waved his broadsword down, clashing with Cainʼs raising Slaughter. However, as the weapons collided, trying to overcome each other, the Soul Kingʼs battle vessel trembled and puked a mouthful of blood as the strength behind his grip diminished significantly.

Cainʼs eyes burst with red light as fortune seemed to favor him, and he put even more strength behind Slaughter as he raised the weapon, pushing the broadsword up with so much strength that it escaped the Soul Kingʼs grip.

The Soul Kingʼs arms were in the air, and he had lost the broadsword. Even if the weapon could return to him, his hands were up, leaving him unprotected.

Cainʼs eyes burst with killing intent as he waved Slaughter down with all his strength, intending to sever the Soul King in half. However, just as Cainʼs blade was about to touch the battle vessel, a smile appeared on the Soul Kingʼs face, and he vanished.

Pure shock appeared on Cainʼs face as he saw the power of the Law of Space envelop the Soul King and teleport him. A feat like that would require the power of Law Integration, and even then, it would be complicated.

However, Cain did not have time to wonder about the might of such ability as he perceived the Soul King appearing above him, right beside the broadsword. His eyes widened with enlightenment as he came to understand that the broadsword could not only teleport to its master but could also teleport its master toward it.

The Soul Kingʼs smile only grew as he saw Cainʼs surprise. He had hidden this ability for the right time, and that was now. With Slaughter on the ground, Cain could not raise the weapon before his broadsword descended.

”Ocean Divine Fall!”

The broadsword descended with momentum and pressure that could crumble mountains to dust and level everything for dozens of thousands of meters, and all that power fell on Cainʼs body.

”BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!”
