Chapter 1519: Preparations for the ultimate fight (III) Chapter 1519: Preparations for the ultimate fight (III) Cain’s eyes narrowed as he heard the Sky Sovereign’s ntion of igniting one’s Alter-Ego for power.
He turned to look at Leviathan, the demonic winged snake that had co into existence after enduring countless tribulations, both ntal and physical, with a conflicted expression.
Consuming one’s life force or even soul force was a possibility Cain had resorted to multiple tis during the Dark Sky War, and he had many ways to fix the damage, yet burning his will itself was an entirely different matter.
After all, the Alter-Ego represented the embodint of his mories, personality, and ego.
One could argue it was an even more quintessential aspect of him than his soul force.
Yet, in the face of impending death, there was no thod too extre if it offered even the slimst chance of survival.
Still, as Cain weighed the idea, a sharp light flickered in his eyes.
He turned his focus to the Sky Sovereign’s phantom form floating in his Soul Dinsion.
“If I burn my Alter-Ego,” Cain asked in a asured tone, “wouldn’t that an leaving my Soul Dinsion empty-opening the door for anyone to possess my body?” The Sky Sovereign’s gaze narrowed at the question.
After a mont of silence, the ghostly figure offered a small smile.
“That’s correct.
If you truly burned your Alter-Ego to its limit, possession would beco child’s play for soone like .
That is, assuming whoever placed this golden halo around doesn’t decide to kill first.” There was no feigned ignorance in his voice; he openly confird Cain’s suspicions.
While the Sky Sovereign appeared cooperative for now-bound by their shared predicant-he certainly had motives of his own.
Cain sighed but did not seem particularly shaken by the phantom’s candor.
They had known each other for less than a week, so it was foolish to expect unwavering loyalty or trust.
The Sky Sovereign was assisting him only because circumstances forced his hand; that the ancient being still harbored other ambitions was almost inevitable.
“Go on,” Cain said briskly, “teach the thod.” The Sky Sovereign watched him for a few seconds, expecting a threat or a warning.
However, Cain acted as if the potential for betrayal was a triviality he could address later.
Seeing this, the phantom shook his head and extended a tiny stream of soul force, laden with the knowledge of this extre technique.
Cain accepted the information and spent a few breaths analyzing it.
Although powerful, the thod was not overly complicated, and with his advanced ntal faculties, he absorbed it fairly quickly.
After integrating the knowledge of Will Sublimation, Cain shot a questioning look at the Sky Sovereign, wondering if there were other techniques or secret arts the ancient being might share.
The phantom rely shook his head.
It was impossible to know whether he was telling the truth, but Cain did not press the issue.
Instead, he waved his hand, causing three items to materialize within his Soul Dinsion: the Fiery Cape, the Fiery Crown, and a mysterious coffin originally retrieved from the Shadow Labyrinth.
Cain had already used the [A.I.
Chip Module] to scan the artifacts and found nothing overtly suspicious.
However, knowing that they were once the property of soone who had been at the Third Realm, he realized his System’s scans might not be foolproof.
“Anything I should know before I fuse with these?” he asked, fixing his gaze on the Sky Sovereign.
The Sky Sovereign seed slightly surprised to see that Cain had managed to claim the tomb’s most significant treasures.
Still, the phantom quickly rallied and raised his left hand, conjuring three glowing seals.
Each seal flew toward one of the artifacts, rging with them.
At once, the items began to tremble, and a telltale crack rang through the air.
“They each contained hidden sealing runes,” the Sky Sovereign explained.
“I would have been able to seal the body and energy of anyone that used them, making possession much easier.
Now that those runes are gone, you can safely use these items.” Cain acknowledged with a nod, then turned his attention to the coffin.
Even now, he was still oblivious to its use and nature. “So, what exactly is this coffin?” he asked.
The Sky Sovereign paused, appearing sowhat perplexed.
“I never fully understood its nature, but I discovered it possessed a peculiar effect.
Once inside, you’ll be bombarded by phenona involving shadows and space-ti-extrely beneficial for the Shooting Star Dragon Cultivation Technique.
Although fire is the technique’s primary Law, it also integrates supplentary Laws like Space-Ti and Shadows.
Using the coffin can rapidly hone those aspects.” Despite his willingness to explain, the Sky Sovereign’s voice carried a hint of confusion, suggesting even he wasn’t entirely sure of the coffin’s origins.
Cain tilted his head in mild surprise; the coffin’s capabilities sounded intriguing, though he decided it was not an imdiate priority.
His mastery of Space-Ti Laws was already high, and while his practice of the Shadow Law had lagged sowhat, he’d assimilated the mories and insights of a Peak Divine Transcendence Anima who specialized in that domain not too long ago.
Adding to that, he had fed the man’s Inner World into his World Tree Sapling, thus accelerating his assimilation of those Laws.
“It will be useful,” Cain observed, “but not right away.
I can make quicker progress with my current knowledge base.” With that resolved, Cain floated in midair, adopting a ditative posture.
He took a deep breath, inhaling a stream of Soul Enlightennt Mist from within the Second Layer.
This luminous fog cleared his mind, allowing him to enter a state of absolute ntal clarity.
His thoughts crystallized, and he began prioritizing his objectives.
First, he needed to refine his cultivation through the Shooting Star Dragon Cultivation Technique to unify Astral Origin and Essence Origin into a singular force before the impending battle.
Second was to evolve his Genetic Coding and Tribulation Enhancent abilities since they would play a crucial role in the future clash.
After that, Cain searched for other thods that could improve his strength in a short ti, but the only one that appeared to his mind was the Indestructible Herculean Technique.
