The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Dark Mask could not hide his shock as he stared at Death Tide. He believed that the leader of Death Ocean had perished at the hands of the masked monster, but that was not the case.

The Scarlet King stared at Death Tide and softly nodded as he felt the power of the man. Unlike what everybody else thought, their battle had actually ended in a draw. Still, instead of escaping after the Scarlet King's energy pool was depleted, Death Tide remained steady and requested to become part of his group.

Although the Scarlet King was surprised, he could see the value of someone so cunning and wise as Death Tide among his troops. Of course, there were also dangers, but he was confident in his ability to handle the man.

After leaving an Ego Mark inside Death Tide's brain, the Scarlet King improved the man's bloodline before performing a 15 Revolution Refinement on his flesh and blood. The upgrade in talent was the reason there were already signs of Death Tide nearing the Water Tribulation.

"As requested, Leader, I have gathered all the wealth from Death Ocean, the City of Karon, and the Karon Family. I use all of it to obtain resources full of vitality and energy."

Death Tide handed a space ring to the Scarlet King, and he smiled. With the treasure in it, he would not have to spend days hunting Grand King Beasts and other animals to obtain energy and vitality for his Saint Revolution Flames.

After looking at the duo, the Scarlet King's eyes grew solemn.

"I will be leaving soon and don't know when I will return. You two will remain in control of Dark Hand and improve its power. I expect that by the time I see you again, it has become the strongest Tier 1 Dark Faction in the entire Uranus Sector."

Complicated expressions appeared in the duo's eyes when they heard those words. Both were aware of the Scarlet King's search for intercontinental teleportation formation. They suspected this one would leave Kronos, but his departure came sooner than expected.

Having basked in his might and talent, Dark Mask and Death Tide could not help but feel lost on how to proceed.

"I can perform a 17 Revolution Refinement on your flesh and bodies, but the chances of success are only 75%. That means that there is a very good chance either or even both could die during the process."

As they heard that offer, a solemn light appeared in Death Tide and Dark Mask's eyes. They knew the immense improvement a 15 Revolution Refinement had done to their foundation and talent. If they went through the 17 Revolution Refinement, there was no doubt in their minds that the path to the peak of the Apotheosis Realm would open for them.

Still, it was not an easy decision as the chance of a horrible death was 25%!

Determination appeared in the eyes of Dark Mask and Death Tide as they took a step forward. More than once, they had put their lives in immense danger only to survive, but now they would do it to gain the power to touch the divine. That was a goal worthy of the risk.

The Scarlet King nodded as he saw the duo's resolve, and he was sure he would leave the force he created in the Kronos Continent in good hands. He waved his hand, taking out an impressive Refinement Cauldron that glowed with silver light.

His previous Refinement Cauldron had exploded due to the immense power of the Saint Revolution Flames. Still, this one was of Platinum Grade, much more resilient than the Gold Grade one he had used before, and should withstand the power of the Refinement Revolutions.

"Death Tide."

Unit immediately nodded as he jumped into the Refinement Cauldron and saw a 17 Revolution Flame by his side. Soon after, the lid of the cauldron was closed, and the flames were unleashed, all coalescing around his body.

"¡BOOOOMMMM!"

A burst echoed across the warehouse as a shocking amount of world energy began to flood the Refinement Cauldron and merge into Unit's body.

The Wind Tribulation Apotheosis Master's eyes widened as he felt the power of the world energy filling his body, and he immediately used every ounce of his willpower to make it course through his flesh and blood.

Bursting red light appeared in the Scarlet King's eyes as he pushed his mind to the absolute peak, using every ounce of strength and skill at his disposal to ensure the Enhancement was completed and prevent Unit's body from exploding like a balloon full of blood.

As the Scarlet King continued with the Enhancement, he could not help but be happy that he did not choose to go with the 18 Revolution Flame. Creating one was not difficult, but the amount of energy such a flame could bring would reduce his chance of success to less than thirty percent.

It took immense effort and hard work, but the Scarlet King managed to perform the Saint Tribulation Refinement on Unit.

The lid of the Refinement Cauldron soon opened, and Death Tide emerged the next second. There was a look of shock and awe in his eyes as he stared at his body and felt the upgrade granted by the 17 Revolution Refinement.@@novelbin@@

Unit's focus shifted to the state of his Evolution Core, and he saw how its energy had grown extremely pure, but that was not all. The metamorphosis brought by the Wind Tribulation had been drastically improved.

'With my current state, surpassing the Water Tribulation will be no problem at all!'

Death Tide found it hard to calm down after realizing the immense improvement in his cultivation. He clasped his hands and performed a deep bow toward the Scarlet King.

The Scarlet King nodded toward Death Tide and turned to Dark Mask, who was looking at him with eyes full of resolution. He rested for a few hours, allowing his mind to recover to its peak before carrying on with the Tribulation Enhancement.
