The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 1879: Entropic Supernova Star

Cain opened his eyes. Instantly, his entire body trembled, overtaken by a sensation of dread so powerful, so utterly profound, that he had never felt its equal before. His fists clenched involuntarily as he vividly recalled those terrifying crimson eyes and the unspeakable sense of doom radiating from them.

What truly magnified this dread was Cain’s certainty about who owned those eyes. Without a doubt, this was the entity responsible for sending the mutated Depravitas of Dark Sky into his home world of Aether. And Cain was certain Aether had not been their only target.

Countless worlds had likely suffered the same fate, victims of invasion and subjugation. Until now, the ultimate fate of these worlds had remained a mystery—but the thousands of captive planets orbiting that colossal super Empyrean World revealed the horrible truth.

Facing such a being—a being powerful enough to pluck worlds directly from the World Forge and mutate primordial laws of the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe made Cain’s heart tremble in genuine fear. How could one stand against something that defied reality itself?

For a brief moment, doubt flickered through his eyes, dark and consuming. But it lasted only an instant. Immediately afterward, waves of scarlet flame surged forth, burning away every trace of hesitation. All that remained in Cain’s soul was unshakable determination and relentless conviction.

”Consume. Assimilate. Evolve,” Cain whispered fiercely, his aura erupting in a brilliant flash as extraordinarily dense and pure Star Power radiated from his body.

”Rank 12 Depravita Astral Supremacy Star—Entropic Supernova Star.”

The recent event had taken over his mind, but now Cain could fully digest and comprehend the profound knowledge and nature of the star he had bonded with. He took a slow, steady breath, stabilizing his mind.𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

”It possesses two core powers,” he muttered, extending his palm forward.

Instantly, radiant Star Power surged forth from his body, coalescing into a brilliant, pure-white flame above his hand. Cain observed the flame closely, marveling at its mesmerizing intensity.

”The first is Collapsing Rebirth Star Power. In its active state, it dramatically enhances my physical capabilities and enables me to enhance my Astral Rebirth Techniques. Passively, it continually flows through my flesh, blood, and soul, enhancing my vitality, maximizing my potential, and consuming any evolutionary stagnation or dead ends I might encounter.”

As soon as he spoke, the pure white flames swept over Cain, burning away the dried blood that had previously seeped from his eyes, ears, and nose. The flames then penetrated deeper, embedding themselves within every cell of his body, rotating ceaselessly and revitalizing him from within.

Next, Cain took another deep breath, channeling the second power bestowed by the Entropic Supernova Star. An invisible psychic force manifested in his palm, intangible yet incredibly potent. With a flick of his wrist, Cain aimed this force at a distant island and unleashed it without hesitation.

The psychic energy surged forward at nearly instantaneous speed, silently reaching its target. Rather than causing an explosion or physical destruction, the island simply began to fade away, disintegrating before Cain’s eyes. He narrowed his gaze, peering down to the deepest quantum level, observing how the fundamental forces binding the island’s atoms dissolved. Piece by piece, atom by atom, the island vanished, leaving behind only emptiness.

”Entropy Force,” Cain murmured solemnly, understanding the terrifying simplicity of its effect. No complex skill or intricate technique accompanied it, yet these two powers alone elevated the Entropic Supernova Star into a league far beyond any other Astral Supremacy Star he had ever encountered.

”True power lies in simplicity,” Cain whispered thoughtfully, a small, confident smile forming on his lips.

Exhaling deeply, he assumed a meditative pose in the air. Immediately afterward, Cain activated the Rebirth Throne’s extraordinary power, causing a radiant surge of psychic and spiritual energy to flow through his entire being.

He had burned an immense amount of willpower and soul force just to ascend the cosmic ladder and successfully claim the Entropic Supernova Star. Under ordinary circumstances, such profound spiritual wounds would require decades or even centuries to heal fully unless one utilized a supreme restorative power like a high-level Revolution Flame. However, the ArchDeity-level Scarlet Throne was more than sufficient to rapidly mend any damage inflicted upon his spirit or mind.

Days turned into weeks as Cain remained suspended in the air, entirely immersed in recovery. Gradually, his spiritual strength and psychic prowess regained their former peak, becoming even purer and stronger than before. But Cain did not merely rest during this time. Instead, he harnessed the Entropic Supernova Star’s immense power to evolve his Supremacy Stars, preparing his body for an even greater transformation.

At the Divine Transcendence Rank, cultivators of the Astral Rebirth Path harnessed the power of their Astral Supremacy Star to form Supremacy Stars within their own bodies. Each of these Supremacy Stars contained approximately 0.1% of the cosmic force from their source star. A total of eighty-one Supremacy Stars could be forged, granting the cultivator at the peak of the Soul Realm access to 8.1% of the full Astral Supremacy Star’s extraordinary power. However, this represented only raw power and potential.

Once a cultivator evolved beyond into the Third Realm, those Supremacy Stars served as foundations for creating a gravitational singularity formation within their bodies, enabling the complete internal sealing and fusion of the Astral Supremacy Star itself.

One by one, the eighty-one Supremacy Stars within Cain began to shift and evolve, mirroring the unique energies and characteristics of the Entropic Supernova Star. This painstaking transformation lasted two entire months, yet Cain endured patiently.

Finally, after countless cycles of refinement and evolution, Cain’s entire being exploded with a surge of extraordinary power. His soul force and psychic energy soared, while immense waves of Star Power poured outward, making the sky itself shudder violently.

Cain opened his three eyes simultaneously, each blazing fiercely like scarlet supernovas. He smiled softly, feeling the boundless strength coursing through him.

”I have reached the absolute peak of the Soul Realm in the Astral Path. My next step is to fully seal the Entropic Supernova Star within my own soul.”

Yet he understood the inherent risk of such a daring step.

”Before I can proceed, I must saturate my physical form with overwhelming vitality and boundless energy. Otherwise, I run the risk of my body shattering from within due to the sheer force of the Astral Supremacy Star.”

Cain exhaled deeply, his expression turning contemplative.

Evolving further on the Astral Path would undoubtedly prove even more challenging than forming his Inner Universe had been. After all, this time, he lacked a supreme treasure like the Well of Endless Stars to aid him.
