The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

The moment Cain walked into the grotto, his eyes immediately grew sharp, and he released his Ego Wave, as there was nothing but darkness. It was as if the moment he crossed the cavern's edge, he had been transported into an entirely new dimension.

It wasn't just his eyes; Cain felt his connection to the outside world severed, and there was no way to communicate.

His Ego Wave allowed him to focus on the surroundings, revealing that he was in a dark cave without any sign of life. The most important part, however, was the strange state of space inside.

Although weak, there were minor spatial fluctuations as he moved forward. They were not dangerous but caused slight shifts in distance or perspective, leading to mild disorientation or dizziness. Luckily for him, his mind was strong enough to overcome those feelings.

Of course, Cain hadn't come here to resist the disturbance. After the disorientation became strong enough to affect his senses and prevent him from moving in a straight line, he stopped and closed his eyes.

Cain's mind focused on the state of space around him, trying to bring order to its chaotic state. His mind worked faster and faster as he sensed the hundreds of variations and changes.

An average human would never be able to do anything but falter before such power.

Inside Cain's abdomen, an organ full of energy carried elemental aspects of existence, aiding his perception of the world's phenomena.

Minute by minute, Cain's mind gained perspective as he understood the principles of such strange power. On the third day, Cain opened his eyes, and as he stepped forward, all the sensations of distortion faded.

Cain's mind was able to bring order to the disturbance, allowing him to walk in a straight line.

It was incredibly minor, but Cain had developed an understanding of space's esoteric and ever-expanding power!

Cain continued moving forward. The cavern had only one path, but the distortion in space was growing so strong that he felt there were hundreds and was forced to stop at a point as he did not know if he was standing on the ground or the ceiling.

The distortion was so strong that it forced Cain to sit, as the sense of disorientation was too much for him to stand. His Ego Wave helped his mind achieve focus, ignoring the sense of nausea as he perceived the strange phenomena.

Once again, Cain sought to achieve a sense of order, but after an hour, he gave up. The distortion was so significant that there was no order to attain. Ultimately, thinking beyond three-dimensional space was the only way to make headway in this distortion.

It was already common knowledge that there were all sorts of strange and hidden dimensions ordinary people could not access, such as the hidden realms.

Once Cain's mind let go of the notion that space was only what you saw with your eyes, he pushed his comprehension of space to the next level, slowly gaining an understanding of the distortion that threatened to cripple his senses.

Every day, Cain's comprehension of the Law of Space grew deeper, making giant leaps as he figured out how to navigate the distortion. He did not move a muscle for nearly two weeks before finally standing up and taking a firm step forward.

A sense of clarity appeared in his eyes as he extended his hand, and the next second, Slaughter appeared in it. With every step Cain took, streams of sharp blood energy emerged from his weapon, but that was not all, as every swing pushed the power of space to the next level.

Cain was taking the chance to train in the Crimson Void Cultivation Technique. His proficiency in the technique increased more and more until, suddenly, his eyes glowed with enlightenment.

At that second, Cain made his Essence Wave and Blood Energy explode, channeling all of it into Slaughter as he swung the weapon down, generating a small spatial rift that unleashed waves of blood energy, destroying everything in front of him.

"Quantum Laceration!"

Cain showed a radiant smile on his face as he saw that strike.

The Crimson Void Saint Cultivation Technique had five levels. The first one was the Foundation Stage, signifying a small understanding of the forces of blood and space, yet you were still far from accessing the skills of the technique.

However, once you deepen the connection with blood and spatial energies, integrating them into your attacks and being able to trigger the offensive skills, it means that you reach the Consolidation Stage.

Cain had no bloodline or unique treasure that improved his understanding of the Law of Space, so reaching this level in less than three weeks was simply mind-blowing!

Still, he was not satisfied and continued walking forward, striking Slaughter repeatedly as he used the power of Spatial Distortion to temper his mind and senses.

After nearly five hundred steps, Cain's instincts screamed. There was nothing around him, but without hesitation, he stepped aside just in time to see the spot where he was standing burst with spatial energy.

It was as if space had folded onto itself, unleashing a devastating force.

Without hesitation, Cain took several steps back and only then relaxed.

'No wonder Lord Zanginis and Desmond said this place was dangerous. Although I would have survived without a problem thanks to the strength of my body and Astral Wave, that blast could have destroyed the body of a normal Essence Wave Champion.'

After a moment, Cain decided to turn around and head to the exit. Those spatial collapses were dangerous, not to mention his three weeks were over, and he needed to leave this place. Luckily, the way back was much faster since it was no different than walking through a forest.

Cain had just taken a step outside the caverns, and before his eyes could even adjust to the light, a hand grabbed his shoulder and flashed into the sky at an overwhelming speed.
