The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

The Scarlet King was resting in the middle of the Silent Forest. It had been three weeks since his fight with Death Tide, and a small starry gem was in his hand. Inside it was the Saint Cultivation Technique that went by the name of Deathweaver.

He extended his hand, and an ominous dark force appeared as he placed it against a tree. This tree began to wither, and its life force flooded into the Scarlet King's body.

"System?"

The Absolute Life Form System immediately responded to the question in the Scarlet King's mind.

[Law of Death's Mastery: Low Basic Understanding]

As he saw that message, a complicated expression appeared on the Scarlet King's face.

Deathweaver was a powerful cultivation technique focused on mastering the Law of Death, which intrigued the Scarlet King. However, there was a problem. The technique's peak was the entrance to the Apotheosis Realm and did not offer insight into the Law of Death beyond the Basic Understanding Realm.

Actually, Death Tide had already reached the peak of the technique, and there was nothing more he could gain from it, forcing him to look for another cultivation technique. In that sense, the Sonic Blade Fusion Cultivation Technique was much better since it guided the Scarlet King's cultivation all the way to the peak of the Apotheosis Realm.

"Although reaching Basic Understanding in three weeks is not bad, clearly my talent in the Law of Death cannot compare with that of the Law of Blood and Law of Darkness."

Ultimately, the Scarlet King decided not to focus on the Deathweaver Cultivation Technique. Once he mastered the most basic spell of Death Touch, which could help him restore his vitality in case of danger, he stored the starry gem in his space ring.

After handling that, the Scarlet King waved his hand, taking six massive giant carcasses from his space rings. All of them still had beating hearts, as he had used the Law of Blood to prevent the blood vitality from fading.

"It is time."

The Scarlet King had not just been training in the Deathweaver Cultivation Technique over the last three weeks. He constantly battled powerful Grand King Beasts, using their blood to improve the power of his Blood Flame. Now, it was finally time to take the next step.

His body began to tremble as tendrils of Essence Wave pierced into the bodies of the Grand King Beast's corpses, ferociously devouring the blood from their bodies, sending all of it into the Blood Flame.

The Blood Flame inside the Scarlet King had reached the peak of the Wave Champion Level two weeks ago. Usually, it would have remained at that level until the cultivation base of the Scarlet King attained at least the Peak Wave Champion Rank. However, thanks to his higher mastery over the Law of Blood, it was able to surpass that blockade and push forward.

After consuming every last drop of blood from those gargantuan Grand King Beasts, a pillar of Blood Energy emerged from the Scarlet King's body, rising hundreds of meters into the sky, flooding the air with a metallic taste.

Once it was over, the Scarlet King opened his eyes, and a small smile appeared as he felt the bursting Blood Energy running through his meridians.

"System, scan me."

A wide smile appeared on the Scarlet King's face as he managed to attain an energy pool of the Wave King level while still being a Wave Champion. The Wave King's Blood Flame would significantly increase his stamina and durability during a battle.

The Scarlet King was highly pleased with his improvement as he had advanced dramatically during the last year. While there was still a long way to go until the Wave King Ranks, he had grown rapidly thanks to his abundant resources and talent.

However, besides his cultivation base, the Scarlet King also focused on his Tribulation Enhancement Profession and had made great strides in creating a 16 Revolution Flame. He was sure that if he consulted with Astrid, he would overcome the details that kept him from advancing to the next level.

The Scarlet King was ready to return to Evernight to consult with the woman when suddenly his computer ring began to glow.

[Leader. I have great news regarding the special mission. Should we meet?"]

The Scarlet King's eyes widened as he heard the message from Dark Mask, and he immediately commanded this one to gather in the warehouse they used as a secret meeting location. Although the information could be shared through the computer ring, the Scarlet King did not trust the network of this device enough to speak about those matters.

In a couple of hours, the Scarlet King and Dark Mask were inside the hollow mountain, and the latter performed a deep bow before sharing the information.

"Leader, the higher-ups from Silent World have contacted me. There is an incursion on the way as they plan to attack one of the main strongholds of the Blood Path."

The Scarlet King nodded but showed little interest, as he did not care about power distribution in the underworld. Dark Mask knew that, so there must be another reason why the man summoned him.

"The incursion is to steal resources, but I heard they are also after a teleportation formation that connects to the Hyperion Continent, home of the Deus Bahamut Race."
