The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 633: The Nine Heavens Ego Destruction Tribulation

Cain couldnʼt help but clench his fists upon seeing that incredible feat. Although he had managed to maintain his soul force a rank above his cultivation base during his time as a Wave Warrior and Wave Champion, he had yet to achieve that feat as a Wave King.

Although he was an Apotheosis Master, technically, the Apotheosis Realm was just the Extreme Wave King Rank, and the next major cultivation level was Divine Ascension.

Cainʼs soul force had improved drastically over the past years, but he was still at the peak of the Apotheosis Realm, and he did not believe it to be possible to rise beyond it without first pushing his Ego Wave to the Third Realm.

Just as Cain wondered about the purpose of showing him a copy of himself rising its soul force to the Divine Ascension Realm, a thunderous burst echoed, and he saw a storm of multicolored flames arising above the figure.

Cain looked at the storm and immediately discovered this one was the Ego Destruction Tribulation, but it was different from the ones that assailed him when he emerged from the Astral Bloodline Realm.

The multicolored storm that formed above the copy was just 9 kilometers wide, meaning the weakest level of tribulation that someone could experience upon advancing to the Third Realm. While that would allow your Ego Wave to reach the Mind Over Matter, your talent and potential in the Ego Eternal Path of Power would be mediocre, to say the least.

When your Ego Wave evolved to the Third Realm, it was no longer all about quantity but also about quality. The size of your Ego Wave would relate to your willpower, but the quality of this one would be connected to the powers of your Alter-Ego and your mastery over Concepts.

Someone who survived a 9X1 Ego Destruction Tribulation would attain the Third Realm of the Ego Eternal Path of Power. Still, his Ego Wave would always lag behind his primary Path of Power, and his Alter-Ego would offer little to no improvement over his body and spells.

However, the next second, a new storm formed above the previous one, and this was 18 kilometers wide!

”Layers!”

Cainʼs eyes widened as he saw the second storm twice as large, and just as he expected, a third one manifested, and this one was 27 kilometers wide. Instead of simply growing in size as it normally did, this Ego Destruction Tribulation grew in layers.

The first layer to form was a 9X1 Ego Destruction Tribulation, the second a 9x2 Ego Destruction Tribulation, and the third a 9x3 Ego Destruction Tribulation.

It did not take long before a new storm emerged above the last one, and this one was 36 kilometers in length, embodying the power of a 9x4 Ego Destruction Tribulation. The process continued until a 72-kilometer-wide multicolored storm appeared before a final 81-kilometer layer emerged.

”If you push your soul force to the Divine Ascension Realm before the Third Realm, then you will face The Nine Heavens Ego Destruction Tribulations.”

Cainʼs eyes glowed with enlightenment as he heard the old manʼs words echo across the dimension. It became clear to him now the reason why the copy improved its soul force beyond the limits of the Apotheosis Realm before facing the Ego Destruction Tribulation.

”¡BOOM!”

Immediately, Cainʼs attention was drawn back to the illusion as the Nine Layers Ego Destruction Tribulation began to assail the copy. Each layer fell with overwhelming power full of soul-destructive power, but the figure endured them as if they were nothing.

Cain adopted a solemn expression as he was sure he would not have such an easy time when facing The Nine Heavens Ego Destruction Tribulation but did not lose focus as he knew the next part would be the crucial one.

After overcoming The Nine Heavens Ego Destruction Tribulation, the copy opened its eyes, and these glowed with a red burning light before his Astral Wave and Essence Wave exploded with power, evolving beyond the peak of the Apotheosis Realm.

Absolute concentration appeared in Cainʼs eyes as he saw that the copy had evolved its cultivation base and prepared to take the next step, fusing its soul into his Sacred Organs in order to become a Divine Ascension Master.

This was the most important part, as Cain understood only one soul existed, and you needed to fuse this one into the Sacred Organ to become a Divine Ascension Master. Therefore, you could not become a Divine Ascension Master in both Paths of Power, and one would forever be stuck at the Wave King Rank.

At this point, the eyes of the copy burst with red flames, and the power of the Ego Wave reached an unprotected level before all of it emerged from Cainʼs body and began to coalesce above his head in the form of an infinitesimal thin blade.

”Soul Severing Will!”

Once again, the old manʼs voice echoed, and Cain saw how his Ego Waveʼs blade flashed down his body. It did not damage the flesh but managed to sever his soul in two!

Splitting your soul in half is not only an act that requires divine powers, but it is also a feat nearly impossible to perform without leaving oneself in a state of utter coma. The soul and your ego form your core essence, the fundamental part of your existence.

Cain had severed the connection of the Soul King with a small fragment of the manʼs soul, which put this one into a profound coma. Things would have been much worse had the Void King and Shadow King not interfered.

Cainʼs eyes widened with a sense of utter shock and awe as he witnessed this. Any life form that divided their souls in half would immediately be left in an endless coma in the best scenario or perish outright, yet the copy of him managed to survive.

It took a moment, but Cain understood why this copy could endure such a procedure and not perish.
