The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 800 Marching into the Astral Sea (I)

The Imperial Marshal showed a calm expression, and while he seemed dignified, there was no fear in his eyes. He had done nothing wrong; after all, the fact that he did not mobilize his troops was not a mistake since he never received the order.

Of course, it was his responsibility to watch over the safety of the northern Sectors, but after witnessing the punishment of the Alchemy-Sword King, the man was sure he would just be put back on duty.

Once Zander reached thirty meters from the Collapsing Light Emperor, he stopped, yet no power forced him to his knees, making the man think his punishment would be even lighter. Yet, when he looked at the podium, he saw two emotionless eyes that froze his soul.

”I...”

Before the Imperial Marshal could finish his sentence, a force took control of his body and began raising him into the air just to start compressing him the next second.

”AHHHHHH!”

Zander screamed in agony as his bones shattered, but there was nothing he could do, and the Scarlet Kingʼs hand just kept growing tighter.

The entire hall watched in horror as the massive man, a Titan, was compressed into a ball of bloody meat less than five centimeters in diameter. And if that was not enough, the Scarlet King brought the ball toward him, his mask open, showing his mouth that he used to consume the ball of meat!

Only silence reigned as the powerhouses saw that horrible sight. They had seen the Scarlet Kingʼs appreciation for those who sided with him, his mercy for the misguided who failed but had their heart in the right place, and his brutality toward those who thought they could shy away from their responsibilities.

He did not utter a word during the entire process, but that sight was engraved in the powerhousesʼ minds.

After that, the Scarlet King grabbed Shuraʼs hand and vanished from the hall. He had already fulfilled his purpose, and the Collapsing Light Emperor and Prime Minister Minxet could handle the rest of the sentences.

”General Iru Halon.”

Prime Minister Minxet did not lose time and followed along, uttering names. They needed to finish this to continue with their other responsibilities.

Cain and Shura appeared in a small bedroom, and the duo did not waste time as they began to enjoy their time together. It was important to unwind from time to time, and Cain had not rested a single moment since the fight with the Crown Prince.

It was only after two days that Cain finally left the chamber, leaving Shura resting in their bed with a smile. He teleported to a small underground chamber where Prime Minister Minxet, the Collapsing Light Emperor, and the First Collapsing Light Pillar were waiting for him.

The trio was not alone since there was also an old man with an aura full of decay around his body.

Cain immediately glanced at the old man and could feel the feeble life force of this one. That was shocking, considering he was a Peak Divine Ascension Master. It was not hard for Cain to see that the old man had used a technique that consumed vitality to enhance cultivation speed, and those were the side effects.

Although he reached the Peak Divine Ascension Realm, his life was already reaching its last stretch.

”I greet you, Scarlet King.”

The old man bowed to Cain before standing straight, silent.

”As you requested, my King. I found a Peak Divine Ascension Master ready to march into the Astral Sea without hesitation.”

Cain nodded as he heard Prime Minister Minxetʼs words and then turned to the old man.

”I will help you restore your life force and push your cultivation beyond the Divine Ascension Realm. However, for all your loved ones and people who know you, you would have died. Are you sure?”

”Haha, I will die regardless, so what do I have to lose? How could I pass up the chance to reach beyond the Divine Ascension Realm and see what lies in the Astral Sea?”

Cain could see the resolution in the old Peak Divine Ascension Masterʼs eyes and nodded. He then waved his hand, causing the Tier Zero Bio-Genetic Chamber to appear. Within it was a humanoid puppet resembling a mannequin due to its lack of discernible features.

”Jump into the chamber.”

The old Peak Divine Ascension Master was a little confused by the chamber but was confident that someone like the Scarlet King would not play games with an old man with one foot in the grave like him, so he jumped into the Tier Zero Bio-Genetic Chamber.

Cain did not waste time and began to work, mapping the genome of the old Peak Divine Ascension Master, and once he had everything, he began implanting a perfect replica in the humanoid puppet.

Prime Minister Minxet, the Collapsing Light Emperor, and the First Collapsing Light Pillar watched with awe as the puppet changed, and their eyes widened as they realized just how flawless of a copy it was. The only difference they could detect between the puppet and the old Peak Divine Ascension Master was their soul waves.

Although it seemed terrific, it was not complicated with Cainʼs current Genetic Coding abilities. After he finished, he took the puppet out of the chamber and handed it to Prime Minister Minxet.

”Put the Corpse Puppet in his cultivation abode. Make sure his family and friends think he just died during cultivation. I want everybody to believe this person perished after his life force faded, and no one must be looking for any sign of his presence.”

Prime Minister Minxetʼs eyes narrowed as he heard that. Although he was a little confused by everything happening here, he did not ask questions. If the Scarlet King wanted him to know, he would inform him; if not, he would just carry out his order without flaw or hesitation.

”Yes, my King.”

After storing the Corpse Puppet in his space ring, Prime Minister Minxet vanished from the underground room, leaving only the trio.
