The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 1210: Immortal Sap Chapter 1210: Immortal Sap Cain descended into the depths of the Immortal Forest, his scarlet wings folding as he landed on the moss-covered ground.

The air was thick with a mix of life and decay, putting him immediately on guard.

His sharp eyes scanned the surroundings with intensity, and the Eye of Gluttony was activated to perceive hidden dangers.

Ancient trees loomed around him, their bark dark and twisted with the taint of Depravita Essence.

Yet Cain knew that as long as these trees had not developed spirituality, they posed no threat to him.

Some trees appeared almost humanoid, their knots resembling bestial faces frozen in silent screams or whispers.

The atmosphere was dense with energy, and Cain could feel the subtle vibrations of life, though it felt more like a stagnant pool than a thriving force.

Cain’s senses were finely attuned to any sign of the Immortal Trees described in the Tiamat Sect’s records.

According to those accounts, the trees bearing the Immortal Sap had shimmering gold and bark leaves that radiated a soft, inner light-a stark contrast to the shadowed and corrupted vegetation that now populated the forest.

Suddenly, Cain’s eyes grew sharp, though he gave no outward sign of alarm.

He continued walking forward, seemingly unfazed, until he caught a glimpse of a soft, dark golden glow filtering through the dense foliage.

It was not exactly as the records described, but it was close enough.

“Let’s see what’s there,” the scarlet dragon murmured to himself, anticipation flickering in his voice.

But as Cain stepped forward, the ground beneath him quivered ever so slightly.

Before he could react, dozens of branches shot toward him with lightning speed, their tips sharpened like spears.

They moved with uncanny coordination, attempting to encircle and impale him.

For a brief moment, it seemed that one of the mutated Sentient Trees had caught him by surprise.

The branches closed in from all sides, leaving no apparent escape.

However, just as the branches were about to strike, Cain’s form blurred.

He transformed into shadows in the blink of an eye, melding seamlessly with the darkness between the trees.

The branches collided where he had stood, splintering from the force of their own attack.

Reappearing in the sky, Cain’s eyes were cold and calculating.

“Interesting,” the scarlet dragon mused aloud, his voice echoing softly through the still air.

“Unlike the others infected by Depravita Essence, you display a hint of cunning, not attacking on sight.” It was clear to Cain that the Sentient Tree was not driven by the mindless frenzy he had observed in the Stone Golems and the mutated Pteranodons.

The fact that it had set an ambush indicated a level of intelligence and awareness.

The tree gave no response.

Instead, it recoiled its branches before launching them toward the scarlet dragon again, with even greater speed and precision.

The air whistled as the wooden spears sliced through it, converging on Cain from multiple angles.

Cain moved effortlessly, dodging the attacks without a hint of concern.

“Depravita Essence may corrupt but mostly enhances what is already present.

Follow new episodes on the ””.

Since you are a tree-a being of peace and harmony-there are no feral instincts to corrupt.

Interesting.” He wasn’t expecting a conversation; the scarlet dragon was simply speaking his thoughts aloud, intrigued by the tree’s unique behavior.

The mutated Sentient Tree persisted, its assaults growing more frenzied.

The ground trembled as roots burst forth, attempting to ensnare Cain’s limbs, while branches rained down like a storm of blades from above.

Cain’s eyes narrowed his expression hardening.

“I’ve had enough.” Gathering his energy, Cain’s aura intensified, making the air around him grow heavy with pressure.

He raised a clawed hand, dark energy swirling around it-the unmistakable manifestation of Reaper Touch.

Simultaneously, he channeled the raw power of Earthquake Blow into his limbs.

With a swift, decisive motion, Cain dashed toward the massive Sentient Tree, slamming his claw into its trunk.

The combined forces of Reaper Touch and Earthquake Blow unleashed a devastating attack.

A shockwave of dark energy rippled outward from the point of impact, fracturing the tree’s trunk into a spiderweb of deep fissures.  The tree shuddered violently as the corrosive power of Reaper Touch eroded its very essence.

The shockwave traveled upward, splintering the branches and reducing them to dust.

Leaves withered and crumbled to ash as the destructive force consumed the entire tree.

A cacophony of creaking wood and snapping branches filled the air as the tree collapsed inward, reduced to piles of decayed timber and dust.

Cain surveyed the aftermath, a slight frown appearing on his face.

“I meant to break it, not shatter it entirely.

There is nothing left to consume.” Without dwelling on the loss, Cain proceeded toward the source of the dark golden glow he had seen earlier.

As he approached, the oppressive atmosphere seemed to lift slightly.

Before him stood an awe-inspiring sight-a majestic tree towering above the rest.

There were signs of corruption in the tree, like every part of the forest, but Cain’s Eye of Gluttony detected no trace of spirituality within it.

That was a relief; destroying the Immortal Tree was not something he wanted to do.

He approached the tree, extending a claw.

Gently, he traced along the bark until he found a small fissure-a natural opening through which the Immortal Sap flowed.

With great care, Cain widened the fissure to allow the sap to collect.

A viscous liquid began to seep out, his soul force guiding it toward him as he gathered the precious substance.

However, as the sap pooled before him, Cain’s eyes narrowed.

Instead of the bright, luminous gold described in the Tiamat Sect’s records, the sap was a dark golden hue, almost amber.

“As expected, the Depravita Essence has also altered the Immortal Sap.” A meaningful light appeared in Cain’s eyes as he focused on the sap, sensing its immense vitality despite the corruption.

Trusting his instincts, he consumed a small amount of the sap.

Immediately, a surge of overwhelming energy coursed through his body.

It was as if every cell within him ignited with newfound strength.

His scales briefly glowed, and he felt his vitality soar.

His muscles tightened with power, and his senses sharpened beyond their normal limits.

A wide smile spread across Cain’s face.

“Excellent,” he whispered, his voice filled with awe.

“The Depravita Essence did not weaken it.

On the contrary, it made it even more powerful.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Redsunworld Schedule: 19/14 (+7) Previous week: 711 power stones Power stone ranking: +600: 7 plus chapters a week +800: 10 plus chapters a week +1000: 12 plus chapters a week Discord channel: Check the images in the comments.
