The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1697: Blood Hounds Ambush (3)

The Forbidden Storm Domain was one of the main domains used by the Paragon of Elements. It took the core of a storm and handed him the authority to command it however he wished.

Kaden had used it in the past in chaotic battles where just the right dose of chaos was needed.

In most such battles, the odds stacked against him were high, but not so overwhelming that he would be forced to unleash any of his trump cards.

The Paragon was someone many wished to defeat, and one sure way to do that was to figure out his trump cards.

For someone who could kill Celestials even as a demigod, it meant he possessed powerful trump cards that allowed him to accomplish such feats and walk away unscathed. He had faced countless harrowing battles and emerged victorious.

So his trump cards were what many sought after.

But they failed to realize that within a forbidden domain, anything could be woven into existence.

Kaden’s control over the elements was something he had cultivated during the Eighth Era, and as such, once caught within his domain, the last thing anyone should expect was an easy way out.

Unfortunately for these Blood Hounds, they were trapped inside the Forbidden Storm Domain, harnessed and reinforced by the Lightning Source Diagram.

With the power to harness and even imitate heavenly tribulation lightning, what else couldn’t Kaden do?

So he did what he did best. He tapped into his mastery of the domain, lightning, and the Lightning Source Diagram, then unleashed the Storm Howler.

The moment he did, the weather inside the Forbidden Storm Domain changed. The clouds turned darker, and the lightning grew even more chaotic.

But the true horror came when a massive wolf emerged from the clouds. The moment it appeared, a terrifying pressure descended upon the three Celestials.

Seeing this, an idea—well, two ideas—popped into Kaden’s head.

[Don’t, Master.]

Icon, having sensed Kaden’s intentions, cautioned, knowing Kaden’s hunger to see how far he could push his limits would not be satisfied today.

Why?

Because while he would much rather be sleeping on Ember’s chest and sipping several glasses of Mai Tai Cocktail, he had to be here. Luckily, his main body had already done its job—even if that job involved having sex with a Pseudo-Primordial Flame Goddess.

But Kaden could sense that he could now use Celestial Qi, and so, seeing the three Celestial-level Blood Hounds already being suppressed by the storm howler, he smirked and channeled some of that Celestial Qi into the Storm Howler.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The three Blood Hounds crashed into the ground, leaving behind massive craters.

“No way.”

Even though he had expected it, Kaden was left dumbfounded when it actually happened. Then a grin spread across his face, and Icon knew he was about to become the Paragon.

“Ah, what a good day to see what the Forbidden Storm Domain, lightning, Celestial Qi, the Lightning Source Diagram, and the Gravity Law can do when merged.”

[And you wonder why the heavens hate you.]

If not for the fact that Icon was in her system form, she would have sneered. What Kaden was about to do was supposed to be impossible for someone at his level.

Demigods weren’t meant to have control over their domains as he did. In fact, most gods only reached the Universal God stage before they could fully comprehend their domains, much less command and manipulate them.

But Kaden could use his domain as naturally as moving his limbs. Naturally, that was far beyond normal, so understanding why the heavens hated him now made much more sense.

Regardless, he loved to experiment, so watching the three Blood Hounds crash into the ground, he smiled and tapped into his Gravity Law.

But before he channeled his law into the storm, he looked up at the Lightning Source Diagram, and a terrible idea popped into his mind.

Icon read his thoughts and knew that what Kaden was about to do was pure madness.

[Well, he is the Paragon after all.]

Kaden’s grin widened. Instead of tapping into the Law of Gravity, he summoned the Heavens Engine and merged it with the Lightning Source Diagram.

BUZZZZZZ

The moment he did, chaos ensued, plunging everything into turmoil. The Blood Hounds felt the heavens fall upon their shoulders. Then, as if they weren’t carrying enough already, their defeat came in the form of a howl.

The Storm Howler howled, and at once, the pressure bearing down on them increased so drastically that by the time they crashed into the ground and shattered every bone in their bodies, their consciousness had already slipped away.

“Oh, come back, please.”

Kaden smirked as he watched the Celestial Souls try to flee. They couldn’t get far because the moment they attempted to escape, Kaden summoned a bow and unleashed three arrows formed from the Soul Fury Forbidden Flame.

They were helpless against it, and more importantly, they failed to realize that the domain also suppressed souls.

“Who knew killing Celestials would be so simple?”

Kaden grinned, knowing Icon would be rolling her eyes right now if she were in her tangible form. Only he would say something so ridiculous.

If killing Celestials were that easy, nobody would have bothered training for millions of years. The fact that he could kill Celestials as if they were chickens only highlighted his monstrous nature.

But there was one flaw in Kaden.

He lacked his own Dao.

Right now, one of his trump cards relied on harnessing the True Blood & Flame Forbidden Dao that Rhazor had awakened.

They might be the same person, but Kaden could only harness thirty percent of that Dao. If he used it now, then he wouldn’t be able to use it effectively later.

Only the stars knew he would be facing an even more terrible opponent later.

But that was fine since he had no plans to use it now.

He had just discovered a new way to manipulate his domain and laws.

It had worked on three Celestials, and as someone who always wished to overdo everything, Kaden looked around the battlefield and grinned.

“Ah, what a good day to be alive.”

He moved, and the Forbidden Storm Domain moved with him.
