The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 400 Essence Evolution Path of Power (II)

The Wave Warrior Rank was nearly identical in both the Astral Rebirth Path of Power and the Essence Evolution Path of Power, with both focusing on the development of meridians that emerged from the Sacred Organ and made a complete circuit, going through the organs, bones, muscles, and skin until reaching the exterior, then branching into a new set of meridians that connected the energy from the outside into the Sacred Organ.

Of course, to train the Essence Evolution Path of Power, the Scarlet King needed a cultivation technique. While he could take the one from Orphin, he had an even better one inside his heart as the Sonic Blade Fusion Technique bordered both Paths of Power.

It took Cain over three months to reach Level 3 of the Astral Rebirth Path of Power, but now, in just one week, he had already reached that level in the Essence Evolution Path of Power!

Of course, that overwhelming speed had to do with the fact that right now, he had a much more powerful lineage and that the resources were overwhelmingly better.

The Scarlet King smiled as he felt how the new meridians designed for Essence Wave had already emerged from his Evolution Core and spread into his organs, but it was at this point that a new element came into play.

As the amount of Essence Wave inside his body grew larger and purer, the Scarlet Kingʼs mind and soul were able to start harmonizing with the cosmic forces of the world, the Laws!

Powerful resources and great Lineage can only take you so far. Just like the Astral Rebirth Path of Power had Marrow Washing, the Essence Evolution Path of Power also had a component that played a crucial role in how far you could go.

For the Astral Rebirth Path of Power, the foundation was paramount, and that presented itself in the form of Marrow Washing in the Wave Warrior Rank and Blood Rebirth in the Wave Champion. However, for the Essence Evolution Path of Power, the defining factor in their path was perception, especially their perception of the Laws.

The Laws are the matrix of the world, the invisible network of cosmic forces that allowed the existence of reality, enabling fire to burn and ice to cool down. While Astral Rebirth Cultivators did not have to worry about them, they were the core of the Essence Evolution Path of Power.

Understanding the Laws not only allowed you to summon their power to enhance your battle might but also allowed the refinement of your Essence Wave and talent.

As one would expect for a Saint Cultivation Technique like the Sonic Blade Fusion Technique, it had insight into the Law of Sound. The Scarlet King could use it to refine his power and enhance his might, but while the insights in the cultivation technique were formidable and would grant great battle power, he had an even better option.

Three days after reaching the third level of the Essence Evolution Path of Power, the Scarlet Kingʼs body trembled as he reached the fourth level, but that was not the most impressive thing.

A smile appeared on the Scarlet Kingʼs face as he made a small cut on his palm. A sky-blue energy focused on the cut, and the next second, drops of blood emerged from it and rose into the air before morphing into all sorts of objects, including a sharp blade, only to return to his hand the next second and close the wounds. y Virtual Library Empire

Absolute and utter shock and terror appeared in the eyes of Orphin and the other two when they saw that, as they could not believe what they saw. A man at the fourth level of the Essence Evolution Path of Power was able to deploy control over the Law of Blood!

Orphin was the most shocked of all. Mastery over a Law contained the ranks of Basic Understanding and Law Fragmentation, with each divided into Low, Medium, Deep, and Extreme.

As a Wave King of the Essence Evolution Path of Power, he had a much better grasp of the Laws and could say with certainty that the Scarlet Kingʼs mastery over the Law of Blood surpassed the Low Basic Understanding.

As a reference, that was the same as an Astral Rebirth Cultivator with a marrow washing percentage of over 50%!

Although for the trio, the only explanation was that they were in front of an ancient monster, the truth was that the Law of Blood had already soaked the Scarlet Kingʼs soul sea after consuming the Astral Blood Beast Soul Core.

While the Scarlet King would have needed to focus and meditate for an extended period of time over the Law of Sound from the Sonic Blade Fusion Technique, he only needed to focus on the flow of his blood and the insight of the Law of Blood left behind by the Astral Blood Beastʼs soul force would do the rest.

Weeks went by as the Scarlet King continued developing his meridians, going through the Essence Evolution Path of Power levels and improving his mastery over the Law of Blood.

There was constant feedback between the quality of his Essence Wave and Law Mastery. The more powerful and purer his Essence Wave was, the greater his perception of the phenomena and Laws, and when those improved, they would refine his energy pool and help it grow stronger and purer.

Finally, three months after starting his training, the Scarlet Kingʼs body trembled, and a red light flooded the surroundings. This was not his Ego Wave but a phenomenon produced by his Law of Blood reaching the Extreme Basic Understanding!

Orphin and the other two Wave Kings saw the sudden reaction of the Law of Blood, and by the fact that they even felt their blood reacting and a metallic taste in the air, they understood just how high the monsterʼs evolution was. Hopelessness flooded their souls as they understood that leaving this place alive was nothing but a dream.
