The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 808: Hidden Calamity (III)

Some Astral Cultivators would face an even worse fate, as they would not die; their bodies carried on without the willpower to control them, transforming them into killing machines that would destroy everything around them and would continue to slaughter until there was nothing left.

That was the main reason Cain did not want to do this in a populated area, much less in Silver City. After all, if he went crazy, who could stop him?

Cain remained unmoving for several minutes. Yet, before the Ego Wave could dissipate, a dot of light emerged at the deepest part of his eyes, one that embodied pure willpower without any rational thought.

”¡AHHHHHHH!”

Along with that roar, Cainʼs Astral Rebirth Heart began to beat faster and faster, glowing with overwhelming power as it interacted with the Laws of the Astral Rebirth Path of Power.

All the Wave Beasts in Blade Mountain looked to the sky in awe and wonder. They saw how the stars began to shine with such intensity that they were visible even during the day. While the beasts were lost in their trance, invisible starlight streams descended, crossing hundreds of kilometers of earth and rock before reaching Cainʼs dissolved Ego Wave.

The second step of the Mind Tribulation was known as Starlight Infusion. It involved fusing the power of Astral Starlight, the energy that Astral Divine Ascension Cultivators used to reforge their bodies in the Star Sovereign Divine System.

Astral Starlight was commonly known to be a power only Divine Ascension Masters could channel. Yet, Cain had already proved that to be a mistake when he summoned it by triggering a 25 Revolution Refinement, and he was doing it again during the Mind Calamity.

More and more Astral Starlight began to fuse into the dissolved red force field. The more starlight that could be ingrained into the Ego Wave, the better, as it would improve the warriorsʼ power. Usually, it would take a few weeks, with geniuses taking over a month, but Cainʼs case was special.

The abnormal size of his Ego Wave meant that the amount of Astral Starlight he could engrave was much greater. More and more starlight fused into his willpower until finally, after nearly three months, nothing more could be contained.

After the starlight saturated the Ego Wave, the Rebirth Heart inside Cainʼs body pulsed with strength again. However, it was not just strength that it carried since it revealed a rhythm that began to resonate with the dissolved red force field.

The red force field began to tremble, and as if following the melody of Cainʼs heartbeat, it began to reassemble. It was a slow process, but after a few days, Cainʼs eyes began to glow with a sharper light until finally, he managed to regain his ability to think.

There was confusion in Cainʼs eyes, and he felt his mind extremely heavy as his willpower had yet to reform completely. Gazing at his Ego Wave and noticing the massive amount of starlight inside it, a sense of focus and direction appeared in his eyes, and he carried on with the last step of the Mind Tribulation.

Starlight Conduits Formation.

The goal of the Astral Starlight was not just to flood the Ego Wave. Cain needed to integrate the starlight into his willpower and forge the Starlight Mind Conduits. Pushing his focus to the absolute limit, Cain began to condense the Astral Starlight into channels designed to hold and direct the flow of the Astral Wave.

The Starlight Mind Conduits would allow Cain to contain and channel Astral Wave not just with his body but also his willpower, exponentially increasing his mental defense and his energy pool.

However, one could say that the most critical effect of the Mind Calamity was the help it would grant during the Divine Ascension Realm. Now that Cain had fused Astral Starlight into his willpower, he would develop a more intuitive connection with the Laws of the Star Sovereign Divine System, improving his talent and cultivation speed even further.

The Codex of Infinite Pathways described how to build robust and powerful Starlight Mind Conduits, so Cain did not lose time and flawlessly blended them with the Ego Wave while it was reconstructed.

The Starlight Conduits Formation took less time than the previous steps, and after a few days, Cain finished it and completed the reconstruction of his Ego Wave. As soon as he did that, a sense of immense hunger assailed him, not for food but for energy, as if his energy pool was drained and needed to be replenished.

The next second, Cain waved his hand, taking several supreme wave crystals and consuming their energy. A sharp light appeared in his eyes as he saw how the spider web that filled his Ego Wave began to fill with dark purple energy, and his reserves of Astral Wave began to rise higher and higher.

Even with the supreme wave crystals, it took several hours for Cain to fully restore his energy pool to the limit. He then sent his Ego Wave back into his brain, and in the next second, his body burst with an overwhelming amount of power.

The immense amount of Astral Wave flowing through his body was overwhelmingly high, and it began to nurture every muscle fiber and bone cell. Cainʼs body kept growing more powerful, and his strength, vitality, and speed rose to a higher level.

”RUMBLE!”

The gargantuan underground cave began to shatter due to the overwhelming power that Cain unleashed, and the shock waves emanating from his body sent the Battle Puppets flying away.

Cain could not help but smile as everything around him was shattering to pieces due to the intoxicating feeling of strength that flowed through his body.

”¡Hahahaha!”

Cain only laughed as he waved his hand, sending the Battle Puppets back into his space ring and leaving the underground cave. He appeared thousands of kilometers above the sky the next second, releasing waves upon waves of energy into the sky.

ʼSystem.ʼ

The Absolute Life Form System immediately understood Cainʼs request and began the analysis.
