The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

A sharp light appeared in the eyes of Lord Kabuto as he observed the extreme density of Cain's energy pool, which was already partially crystalized, signaling the impressive foundation of the young man.

Immediately, the old man once again flooded the room with highly pure Life Wave, removing the sunlight energy, as Cain would only need pure Life Wave to perform his breakthrough in the Essence Evolution Path.

After three days, Cain opened his eyes again, and an unwavering light appeared in them as he intensified the density of space to an even more powerful degree, setting ablaze every single iota of Blood Energy (Essence) inside his body.

More and more pressure was applied to the Essence Wave inside Cain's Evolution Core as he kept increasing the quantity of his energy pool. The Essence Wave wanted to expand but could not, and its mass kept growing.

Lord Kabuto watched in awe as the entire room was soaked in a red fog, and space began to distort. Cain's evolution to the Wave King Rank triggered a reaction from the primary Laws of the Crimson Void Cultivation Technique. By the phenomenon's intensity, it was clear that the foundation of the young man in the Essence Evolution Path was no weaker than the Astral Rebirth Path.

"¡BOOM!"

After ten hours, a boom echoed from inside Cain's body, more precisely from inside his Evolution Core, as the cyclone of Essence Wave collapsed, leaving only a sky-blue core the size of a chicken's egg.

'His Essence Star is so big!' Lord Kabuto thought to himself, amazed as he perceived the size of the Essence Star inside Cain's Evolution Core.

Essence Star was the name of the unique structure that an Essence Cultivator would generate inside their Evolution Core after evolving to the Wave King Rank.

The process was similar to the transformation that a star would experience upon its collapse and rebirth as a dwarf star or neutron star. The mass remained the same, but the volume would decrease, generating a massive burst in gravitational force.

The Essence Wave inside the Evolution Core would experience a similar process as it became an Essence Star.

Usually, when a person broke through to the Wave King Rank, their essence star would be the size of an apple seed, and only divine geniuses would obtain an Essence Star the size of a small chestnut, yet Cain's was nearly three times larger.

"¡BOOM!"

Soon, a second explosion echoed inside Cain's body. The Essence Star generated a vortex that devoured the energy in the surroundings like a ravenous beast. Soon, Cain's Evolution Core was flooded with Essence Wave again, and so were his meridians, while the Essence Star slowly began to grow.

Cain finally took a moment to relax as he felt the energy of his Essence Wave and smiled as his Essence Star devoured the surrounding energy continuously without him having to do anything. From now on, his cultivation speed and energy regeneration will be exponentially faster.

'System, scan me.'

Cain eagerly commanded the Absolute Life Form System to scan him.

Note: Wave Virus inside the Vessel enhanced Wave Talent by 28.1%.]

Cain was delighted with his current stats. His Wave Talent had evolved again, which would greatly aid his cultivation, but it remained at Tier 9 despite improvements brought by the Wave Virus. It made sense, as there were no records of a Tier 10 Wave Talent, and Cain might be the first in Aether to achieve it.

Even without reinforcement, his physical body was as strong as someone at the limit of the Wave King Rank, and his Astral Blood Saturation had already reached 40%. Just a bit more, and he would be able to use the Astral Blood Ability, igniting his blood cells to enhance his physical offensive and defensive capabilities exponentially.

Regarding his Essence Evolution Path, he smiled upon seeing his Law of Blood evolve to Deep Law Fragmentation. While his Law of Space remained at Basic Understanding, he sensed he was close to the next stage. This step could take weeks or months, but he was prepared.

"How do you feel?" Lord Kabuto inquired with curiosity, unable to gauge the extent of Cain's growth.

"I am great. Everything went smoothly, but I will remain in meditation for the next week to stabilize my cultivation base and perform the next level of my body refinement technique."

"Oh, about that. We have several Astral Path body refinement techniques you could use. Don't you want to change it?" Lord Kabuto offered.

Cain appreciated Lord Kabuto's words but softly shook his head. "I have the Biometal Herculean Technique of the Blood Sea. It's easy for me to train, and the next level will give me a body as strong as a Platinum Artifact."

"Oh, the Blood Sea. I have heard of them. Since the technique will give such massive improvement to your body, then indeed, it will be better if you stick with it.

Since I have nothing else to do, I will leave you. You are now my Foster Son and the Sun Avatar of the Solis Clan, so I will commence the ceremony. Don't worry, keep training, and I will call you when everything is ready."

Cain showed a small smile as he clasped his hand and performed a bow to Lord Kabuto. "I will be ready when you call me, Foster Father."

"Great, great!" Lord Kabuto smiled, pleased with Cain's attitude, and left the young man alone as he exited the room.

Cain knew that turmoil might spread across the Solis Clan but wasn't worried. He waved his hand, summoning a massive cauldron and filling it with Platinum Level Metals before starting a flame to melt them. As he waited, he calmly circulated his Astral Wave and Essence Wave through his meridians, adjusting them to their new power and potency.
