The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 853 Atrox Immortus Emperor

There was no natural border between the Kronos Continent and the Hyperion Continent, only a current of the Endless Sea that divided the two continents and stretched for thousands of kilometers.

This current was known as the Sea of End, and its sky-blue crystalline waters had turned black after centuries of bloodshed, energy radiation, killing intent, and resentment from the clashes between the Atrox Immortus Race and Deus Behemoth Race.

The Sea of End usually saw cruel and bloody fights, yet there was only silence today. To the south of the Sea of End stood ten figures, each unleashing a fantastic bloodline power and a cultivation base that placed them at the peak of the Divine Ascension Realm. These were none other than the Patriarchs of the Ten Great Bloodlines, led by Eon, the Emperor of the Deus Behemoth Empire.

To the north of the Sea of End was a group just as powerful as the Patriarchs of the Ten Great Bloodlines. They were known as the Ten Swords of the Atrox Immortus Empire, led by the Emperor of the Atrox Immortus Race, Ishmael.

The Emperor of the Atrox Immortus Race was nearly two and a half meters tall, with a lean yet muscular constitution. His body was covered in obsidian blade armor, typical of the Atrox Race, but this set was far from ordinary, as every blade seemed to embody the power of the Laws.

The only parts of the Emperorʼs body not covered by armor were his blue eyes, which showed a sense of determination and brutality that could make even the strongest hearts tremble.

The Patriarchs of the Ten Great Bloodlines and the Ten Swords were the maximum powerhouses of the Deus Behemoth Race and Atrox Immortus Race, respectively. Invading the enemy empire would not be a problem if one side could destroy the other. However, despite being a mere three thousand kilometers apart, neither side projected killing intent toward the other.

This was due to a phenomenon that had appeared in the sky above the Sea of End. It had emerged a day ago and sent shockwaves across the Kronos and Hyperion Continents.

Above the Sea of End was a gargantuan rainbow-colored portal. Not only was it extremely powerful, but most importantly, the Laws governing its existence were so advanced that none of the powerhouses from the Deus Behemoth Race or Atrox Immortus Race could comprehend them.

The only known fact was that an unknown force had connected a portal to their continent through the Endless Ocean, ignoring the chaotic state of the fabric of space. Such a feat required either immense power or extremely advanced technology.

Either way, whoever was behind this rainbow-colored portal was dangerous, and the question that flooded the minds of both sides was whether they were friend or foe.

As the rainbow portal began to tremble, the Patriarchs of the Ten Great Bloodlines and the Ten Swords raised their guard, their eyes sharpening as they focused on the emerging figures. The next second, two individuals appeared: one a member of the Abyssal Clan with impressive armor and the other an old man from the Nether Clan.

The Atrox Immortus Empire members smiled as they saw that the ones who emerged from the rainbow portal were the Dark Emperor and Prime Minister Razputin, leaders of the Inferno Daemon Empire.

Although the Atrox Immortus did not understand how the Inferno Daemon Empire had obtained this portal, they were delighted to see their allies in control of it.

On the other hand, the expressions of the Patriarchs of the Ten Great Bloodlines could not have been worse, especially for the Patriarchs of the Solis Clan and Zanginis Clan.

Kabuto and Zuko looked at each other, their eyes filled with worry and apprehension. Cain had returned to Gaia to help his family and friends face the invasion of the Inferno Daemon Empire, and the sight of the Dark Emperor and Prime Minister Razputin made them fear that something had gone terribly wrong.

However, before any side could utter a word or make a move, the Dark Emperor and Prime Minister Razputin stepped to the sides and adopted a solemn, respectful, and even submissive stance toward the figure appearing next.

The one who came was a young man with white hair, flaming golden eyes, a red robe, and an aura that seemed to rival the heavens and earth. His third eye glowed with power as majestic as that of the portal, and the power of the Law of Space seemed to bend to his will.

”Cain!”

Lord Kabuto could not help but shout as he saw Cain appear. While he was delighted to see the young man had grown so immensely powerful, he was confused as he saw the Dark Emperor and Prime Minister Razputin accompanying him.

Cain turned to the Patriarch of the Ten Great Bloodlinesʼ voice and focused on Lord Kabuto before clasping his hands and performing a deep bow.

”I have returned, father.”

After that, he turned toward Lord Zanginis and, still clasping his hands, made a slight bow.

”I am glad to see you well, Uncle.”

Even if Cain had grown immensely powerful, capable of subduing entire continents with his strength, he did not forget those who stood by his side when he was weak and young. Lord Kabuto and Lord Zanginis never abandoned him, even when they were forced to choose between him and the other Ten Great Bloodlines; they chose him without hesitation.

After performing that reverence toward Lord Kabuto and Lord Zanginis, Cain turned his eyes toward the Ten Swords of the Atrox Immortus Race. Despite their strength and thousands of years of battle, the Atrox Immortus could not help but tremble as they felt like space was pressuring them.

Without a word or a warning, and so fast that none of them could react, Cain appeared in front of the Ten Swords and moved like lightning as he grabbed the Atrox Immortus Emperor by the neck and flashed into the sky.

There was pure shock and awe in the eyes of the Atrox Immortus Emperor as the speed and strength of the young man were simply too high, managing to grab him before he could make a single move. He was an Essence Cultivator, and being close to an Astral Cultivation could mean the end, but he did not let fear, doubt, or despair crush his heart.

”¡AHHHHH!”

With that single roar of defiance, the Atrox Immortus Emperor conjured a tornado of golden lightning in his right hand. He blasted it straight into the young manʼs face without hesitation.

”BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!”

A massive explosion echoed across the sky as waves of incredibly destructive and sharp energy spread everywhere.

The Patriarchs of the Ten Great Bloodlines and the Ten Swords gazed at the sky with shock and apprehension. None dared to make a move out of fear that the other side would take advantage of that, and they waited in silence.

Clearly, the young man was immensely powerful, but he received a devastating blow straight to his face and was not using his Wave Cloak. Once the energy faded, they saw how Cain still had a firm grip on the Emperorʼs neck, yet half of his face was destroyed!

Cainʼs left eye, along with the flesh, muscles, and bones, were destroyed, leaving him a gory sight, yet the young man showed nothing as he stared at the Atrox Immortus Emperor.

”That was not very nice.”

As Cain uttered those words, a scene that left everybody in utter shock appeared. The bones, muscles, and flesh began to regrow at a shocking speed, and even the left eye returned. In less than ten seconds, that horrible wound faded as if nothing had ever happened.

The Atrox Immortus Emperor felt utter disbelief as he saw how his point-blank attack had done nothing. He then glanced at the Dark Emperor and Prime Minister Razputin, and a sense of contentment appeared in his eyes before determination emerged.

”Never surrender!”

The Atrox Immortus Emperor shouted those words as he grabbed Cainʼs right hand that held his neck, and then his entire body began to glow as he put his energy into overdrive, ready to self-destruct and take the young man with him. Even if the other side could survive, it would harm him and give his people a chance.

A sense of shock and awe appeared in Cainʼs eyes as he saw that the man was ready to self-destruct, showing not even a single shred of hesitation, ready to burn everything for what he believed was right.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Cainʼs face as he made his Astral Wave and Essence Wave explode, generating flawless Solar Tempest Essence before striking the Atrox Immortus Emperorʼs Evolution Core, not harming it but stopping the overload of this one.

It took immense effort and pushed himself to the absolute limit, but Cain managed to stop the self-destruction of the Atrox Immortus Emperor. He then let go of the manʼs neck and stared at the man with a wide smile.
