Chapter 2468 A new Master of Chaos or Order in Paradise?
Cain remained in his dwelling, a broad grin spreading across his features as he stared at the glowing sphere hovering in front of him.
Innumerable patterns of symbols and inscriptions danced over its exterior, weaving through intricate designs packed with depths of hidden wisdom. The insights stored inside were so vast that anyone under the Third Realm might shatter their spirit if they stared too intently at the sphere under the torrent of data. Despite his exceptionally robust soul, Cain needed total focus to dissect it correctly. And the deeper his comprehension grew, the stronger the excitement pulsing in his chest.
"The Apollo Speed Technique is indeed extraordinary," Cain whispered. "A treasure pulled from the Ancestor Tomb."
This sphere served as the container for the Half-Step Fourth Realm Body Refinement Technique. Just one such container was known to exist, making it incredibly costly for that very reason.
In reality, Cain didn't fully possess it. When the conflict concluded, the technique would need returning to the Dark Blood Kingdom.
Yet he paid no mind to that detail.
By the war's end, numerous shifts could occur.
After hours of intense examination, he managed to sort the boundless information from the sphere into
a structured framework. Only then could he start the real cultivation.
"The method splits into two primary phases," Cain pondered inwardly. "The initial one involves crafting a Hollow Star."
As per the instructions, cultivators could employ any form of energy or force to form the Hollow Star in their physique. Still, the
more potent and distinctive the energy used, the superior the outcome's capabilities.
That's why the majority of fighters stuck solely to their Ancestor Power.
While pondering this need, a flood of options raced through Cain's thoughts. His base was anything but typical. The Flow, the Power of Chaos, the Ocean of the Blood Sun, along with his Royal Blutlinie's Ancestor Power, offered edges that scarcely any entity in Paradise could rival.
But he avoided hasty decisions.
Rather, he pressed on with examining the second phase.
"Once the Hollow Star takes shape, it gets ignited, turning into a Radiant Sun."
To ignite it, something had to be sealed within the Hollow Star. The mightier the enclosed item—and its growth potential—the fiercer the emerging Radiant Sun would be.
The records suggested top-tier treasures as ideal choices.
That said, the method didn't confine users strictly to treasures. Any robust enough item or core could serve.
Nevertheless, a caution appeared in the guidelines.
Straying too much from the traditional approach might cause imbalance... or total disaster.
A contemplative gleam flickered in Cain's gaze.
The whole procedure seemed oddly recognizable.
But he pushed aside the sensation and kept scanning the technique's full framework.
"It consists of three tiers altogether," he determined. "Each defined by kindling a fresh Radiant Sun."
The First Level would deliver velocity matching a Peak Alpha-Omega Overgod.
Given Cain's current physical prowess at that tier, the boost to his inherent pace wouldn't be huge.
However, the real worth of the first Radiant Sun lay not in its constant uplift.
It bestowed a burst of power.
Apollo's Speed.
For a short instant, his velocity would skyrocket, thrusting his motion past usual boundaries. The cost was harsh—the toll on his frame and energy stores would be tremendous.
Yet in fierce battles at high levels, mere seconds of superior swiftness could tip the scales between triumph and doom.
Cain's fists tightened just a bit.
Should he master the pinnacle of this art, his fighting strength would eclipse standard King-tier experts.
Even as elation built inside him, his face settled back to serenity.
"With this alone... I can't yet rival figures like the Dark
Blood King... or Shakra."
He grasped his standing precisely.
He held great power.
But the supreme heights of Paradise lay distant still.
Luckily, additional routes for advancement awaited him.
Cain shut his eyes, and at once a massive wave of insight emerged in his consciousness.
The Path of the Asura.
Having pulled the comprehension straight from Aerion's
soul and imprinted it onto his own, Cain already commanded full grasp of the core concepts. All that was left was hands-on merging.
"The regular Asura Form and the Fourth Realm variant share identical
roots," Cain assessed. "Both turn the heart into a drive, hastening the circulation of strength and energy across the form."
Still, the gap between them was vast.
"The basic Asura Form stays locked inside the body," he went on. "Whereas
the Path of the Asura shatters the divide between self and cosmos."
Cain halted here, a intricate look crossing his visage as he absorbed the full meaning.
"It lets the practitioner harmonize with the universe... and pull in stellar
forces right through their being."
This insight rendered his face grave.
After extended quiet reflection, Cain voiced his thoughts.
"The finest wielders of Asura Form I've witnessed are the Masked
Race from Origin Island. It's logical to think the art stems from them."
His gaze sharpened a touch.
"My former life likely examined their ways and refined
them."
Regarding the Path of the Asura, Cain swiftly pinpointed its essence.
"This isn't a standalone method," he decided. "It's an advancement. A blend of Asura Form with the stellar harmony or command from the Power of Chaos... or the Power of
Order."
Cain's hands gradually balled into fists.
Though alternative routes existed to attune with stellar mights, one fact stood sure for him.
The cleanest and steadiest paths arose from Chaos or Order.
And that truth bore weighty consequences.
If this art had surfaced in the Ancestor Tomb, its maker had doubtless been a lord of one of those two ultimate stellar forces.
This sparked a troubling query.
What sort of being had birthed the Blutlinie race?
For an instant, Cain's mind wandered from his immediate aims.
His core goal had ever been straightforward—to build power, endure, and at last seek a path to his actual origin.
But presently...
He sensed a different force.
A faint, yet insistent one.
A draw.
The Ancestor Tomb.
Whether it hid revelations on the Blutlinie's beginnings... or
on Paradise's profound makeup... remained unclear.
It might hold clarity.
Or just peril, slaughter, and ruin.
But certainty gripped one point. Paradise brimmed with enigmas. And Cain burned to unravel every one.
