The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Although Cain considered taking third place barely acceptable, all the other challengers looked at him with shock and wonder.

The reason for the awe in the Deus Behemoths' eyes was that he did not use spells to propel his body and was actually moving slower than the others. Yet, space seemed to distort in his path, diminishing the actual distance he needed to cover.

While the challengers were astounded, the two Early Divine Ascension Masters from the Solis Clan in the sky were even more amazed. They were strong enough to see that Cain's cultivation was actually at the Late Wave Champion level, and he was using the Law of Space to move through the sky.

By the level of dominion over space, it was clear that Cain's mastery had already risen above the Medium Basic Understanding and must have reached the Deep Stage. Although for other Laws, a Deep Basic Understanding was shallow and would not catch the eyes of powerhouses like those four, things were different when it came to the highly complex and powerful Law of Space.

"Zuko, that boy, when did he begin to train in the Law of Space?"

Kabuto's voice was solemn, and when Lord Zanginis heard how his old friend spoke to him, he did not joke and responded thoughtfully.

"He has been in the Spatial Distortion Grotto for the last three weeks. Before that, he had never come into contact with the Law of Space."

"What? How is that possible!?"

The bulky middle-aged man from the Solis Clan, who had to stand up, could not help but shout those words. Although the Spatial Distortion Grotto was an excellent cultivation haven for the Law of Space, reaching the Deep Basic Understanding in just three weeks was too much.

It would be different if Cain had a powerful Lineage that helped the young man understand the power of the Law of Space, but that was clearly not the case. The Divine Ascension Master could feel the connection of Cain's bloodline to the Law of Shadow and Law of Darkness, but that was it.

Lord Zanginis only glanced at the Early Divine Ascension Master from the Solis Clan. He did not comment on this one's reaction since he was also startled to see just how much Cain had improved in such a short amount of time.

"His Essence Wave is extremely pure, which could explain his immense attunement to the cosmic forces, but it is still too much."

The other Early Divine Ascension Master, still sitting on the throne, spoke with confusion in her eyes.

Astral Wave improved the strength and vitality to the point of granting flesh and blood that could endure the fall of a meteorite, while Essence Wave evolved your perception and understanding of phenomena to a realm a mortal mind could not possibly understand.

However, Cain was just a Wave Champion, so no matter how pure his Essence Wave was, there had to be a limit. None of them knew that Cain's Essence Wave and Evolution Core were different from others, as they had undergone an 18 Revolution Refinement.

Lord Kabuto did not say a word after hearing the response from Lord Zanginis, but his eyes narrowed and clenched his fists. That simple motion made the golden spheres of fire grow chaotic, and the next second, they began to shoot fireballs toward the challengers rising into the sky.

The challengers were surprised to see the rain of giant fireballs marching toward them but could calm down as they felt the sphere did not contain the true attack power of a Divine Ascension Master, and it seemed their only goal was to delay them.

Kailon and Sulon narrowed their eyes as they took their weapons and flashed forward, doing their best to dodge the giant sphere of fire like everybody else. However, not only were the spheres fast, but they were also enormous, so avoiding them was a challenge.

Cain could use the Law of Space to fold the space between him and the spheres of fire, increasing it to gain more time to react. At the same time, he compressed space so a single step right or left could cover dozens of meters.

That was not the only thing that helped Cain since he had activated The Flow to predict the patterns of the spells. Just as he pushed his mind to its peak, he could not help but feel a sense of wonder as he started to see the vibration frequencies and atomic patterns in the spells.

It was both a new and old feeling since Cain never truly reached this level, but it was something he deployed during his battle against the Azure King. It seemed that his mastery over energy and improvement of his cultivation base had been helping him push The Flow to the next level.

Cain's eyes burst with red light as he could not help but smile and flashed faster and faster into the sky, easily dodging the sphere of fire.

'Just a little closer!'

He was approaching the level but had yet to achieve it and could not help but think that greater pressure might do the trick, so, unlike all the others, he did not slow down his speed and headed straight into the projectiles.

Lord Kabuto's eyes narrowed as he observed the behavior of the Godslayer Human, and a sharp light appeared in them as he clenched his fists with even more strength, making the fireballs move faster and redirecting them so they would concentrate on Cain.

Everyone saw how the fireballs began to move faster and seemed to turn toward the Godslayer Human's path, making many of them think that Lord Kabuto was not pleased to see a human doing so well in his tournament.

Lord Zanginis could not help but frown as he observed how Kabuto seemed to be targeting Cain, but he remained quiet as he was sure that the young man would manage to overcome the sudden pressure.
