Chapter 532: Emerging from secluded cultivation
"It is my pleasure to be of assistance."
The Soul King showed a radiant smile as he performed a slight bow toward the Void King.
"Proceed as you see fit. I don't care about the cost, but we must kill that boy. He has already grown too much."
Once that was settled, the Void King turned to the Blood King, and his eyes began to glow as the starlight in them burst with overwhelming gravitational power.
"¡BOOM!"
Before the Blood King could react, a shocking gravitational force coalesced around his body, sending him crashing into the ground and breaking the chair in which he was seated.
The Blood King immediately tried to fight back, but just as he raised his head a few centimeters off the ground, the Void King appeared beside him and thrust his head back down.
"CRACK!"
The sound of breaking bones echoed across the room, and it seemed that the Void King was ready to shatter the skull of the Blood King.
"If it weren't for the fact we are at war, I would kill you here and now for lying to me. You are lucky, but there will not be a second time, as I will shatter every atom in your body the next time you fail me."
As soon as the voice of the Void King faded, so did the gravitational force. The Void King did not even bother to glance at the Blood King and left the room.
The Soul King and Shadow King stared at the Blood King with disdain and pity before leaving as well.
The Blood King slowly stood up the next second, and rage and fury appeared on his face.
"It's all the fault of that boy. It's all his fault!"

Cain was inside an empty cauldron in the throne room of Lord Kabuto, and the Life Wave constantly flooding the room flowed into his Evolution Core, where the Essence Star devoured it.
Despite the wanton consumption of the sky-blue star in Cain's Evolution Core, there was enough energy in the room for him to supply Rebirth Heart, flooding his veins and morphing the cellular structure of his blood cells. The Sacred Organ also devoured sunlight energy, improving Cain's constitution.
After five days, he opened his eyes, and the full might of his Essence Wave and Astral Wave burst out of his body.
Bloodthirsty Runes made with the blood of the Draco Lightning Frog covered his arms and legs as Blood Wings emerged from his back. Then his Blazing Core began to thrive, filling his body with the power of sunlight energy, improving his striking power and speed, as well as the hardness of his already immensely powerful physique.
The tons of Platinum Level Metals that had flooded the cauldron were already inside Cain's flesh and blood, having pushed the Biometal Herculean Technique to the Platinum Heart level and gaining a body as strong as the armor that Apotheosis Realm Masters use to protect their bodies.
Although Cain no longer trained the Blood Seal Art Cultivation Technique, he did not discard the Bloodthirsty Seal since they could improve his striking power, not to mention that it would require very little strength as his Blood Chamber was more than enough to supply all the Blood Energy he needed for his Biometal Herculean Technique, Bloodthirsty Seal, and Blood Wings.
After pushing his physical power to the limit, Cain took out Slaughter, and the blade burst with Essence Wave as the power of the Law of Blood and Law of Space coalesced around it, just as Bloodthirsty Runes covered it.

Cain took a deep breath as he waved his blade, generating indentations in space that would burst with blood energy the next second. He had just performed an attack that could cut in half an Apotheosis Master before taking a step forward and appearing at the other end of the room.
He did not move extremely fast but instead used an ability of the Crimson Void Cultivation Technique known as Spatial Phase.
The skill allowed Cain to shift his position in space, which is commonly used to put distance between an Essence Cultivator and his enemies. Yet, a dual cultivator like Cain could use it to get closer to the enemy and take full advantage of his body's power.
After that, Cain waved his blade again, but this time, no attack came. Or at least not where his blade struck.
"¡BOOM!"
An arc of blood energy struck the wall on the other end of the room, nearly one hundred meters away from Cain's location. That was also a Crimson Void technique called Warp Strike that allowed Cain to teleport energy strikes to unexpected locations, striking enemies from multiple directions and unpredictable angles.
Cain couldn't help but smile as he saw the power of that strike. He clenched his grip over Slaughter as he reached the fourth level of the Crimson Void Cultivation Technique.
The Crimson Void Cultivation Technique had five levels, which were in order: Foundation Stage, Consolidation Stage, Blood Master Stage, Voidblood Nexus Stage, and Divine Voidblood Stage. Reaching the fourth level meant Cain's mastery over the technique was just as high as that of a Peak Apotheosis Master.
Not only would his attacks have more power, but he should finally be able to use the cultivation technique's signature domain skill.
Just as Cain was about to take out the Spatial Orb he obtained from Lord Zanginis, a message arrived through his [A.I. Chip Module].
"Boy, are you ready? We should not delay the ceremony anymore if we want you to enter the Astral Bloodline Realm."
Cain's eyes widened as he heard that, and he focused on the date, realizing there were already just three days until the opening of the Astral Bloodline Realm. He had lost himself in his cultivation and forgotten about the passage of time.
"I am heading out."
Cain took a moment to seal his Astral Wave and use the red mask that had fused into his flesh to hide his Astral Rebirth Path of Power. He could still use the sunlight energy to infuse his attacks and perform the range of skills granted by his Solis Lineage, but using Essence Wave as the fuel would diminish their raw strength.
"It is fine. Even if I only use my Essence Evolution Path of Power, I should be able to deploy battle power at the upper stages of the Apotheosis Realm."
