The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order Chapter 956 956: Surpassing the Ego Destruction Tribulation

Cain's eyes began to glow with more and more power as he gazed at the layers of fire whose intent focused on him, ready to test his willpower and Ego with abominable force. If he survived, he was sure his willpower would rise to a whole new level, allowing his mind to beco one of the core aspects of his battle power again, raising his strength beyond his body and Laws.

'The intent of each layer seems the sa as what the Codex of Infinite Pathways describes as the Nine Heavens Ego Destruction Tribulation. It is their overall power that has risen exponentially,' Cain was able to decipher the intent behind the layers, giving him so confidence. While this new tribulation's power was shocking, it still seed to fulfill a similar function.

The nine layers of fire that covered the Atlas Continent remained peaceful and steady, waiting for Cain to be ready as if so sort of reward for him taking care of the aliens that threatened to engulf the world. However, now that he was ready, its full power ca into action, generating pressure that expanded throughout the entire continent.

It was clear to the Scarlet King that even if he was the savior of the world, the Nine Heavens Ego Destruction Tribulation would unleash its full power, and if he were too weak, he would die.

Cain adopted a ditative formation in the air, his eyes cold and focused as he gazed at the flickering, ethereal flas of various colors beginning to fall from the sky, resembling a gentle, celestial rain of fire.

First Layer: The Flickering Fla.

The warriors of the Sacred Races saw how the 9-kiloter-wide storm of fire began to descend. It was beautiful but also extrely dangerous, as proved by the fact it caused space-ti to suffer severe distortions, and the energy to burst in and out of reality.

Just the effect on the environnt was enough to cause dread in the hearts of the warriors of the Sacred Races, but it's true power ca in the effect it had on their minds and souls. The mont they focused on the flas, waves of horrible doubts and fear began to arise from the deepest corners of their psyches.

It was so intense that most of the warriors were forced to imdiately look away, out of fear those doubts would break their minds. However, there were still so who managed to keep focus, their eyes sharp as they took in the power, using it to sharpen their minds.

The Collapsing Lightning Emperor's eyes burst with more and more willpower as he gazed at the flickering layers of flas. It was very hard, but he was able to keep his eyes on it, using it to enhance his mind. Of course, the man knew he was only receiving a collateral burst of power, and the true might of the flas were dozens of tis more terrifying.

Cain's eyes never left the layer of flickering flas that descended with imnse might. This was a ntal tribulation; he did not need to fight it with spells or punches, only endure and overco it.

Finally, the layer of nine kiloters of flickering flas fell onto Cain's body, surrounding him from all directions as it flooded into his mind. Imdiately, the eyes of the Scarlet King showed minor doubts and fears, and distractions began to arise.

Even though they were minor insecurities and distractions, that did not an by any asure that the danger of the First Layer was low. All those small things might not break you. Yet, they would deviate you from the right path, pushing you to stagnation or procrastination, allowing days to pass by focusing on the unimportant as your life force and vitality faded.

Cain's face contorted as that wave of voices echoed inside his mind and soul. It was as if millions of people were shouting in his ear all at the sa ti, each forcing him to pay attention, but his focus was unwavering as he remained alert.

The red light in the Scarlet King's eyes grew stronger as he confronted and extinguished these minor doubts, solidifying the foundation of his willpower. More and more flas flooded inside his brain, but his eyes were sharp, recognizing and dismissing minor distractions and insecurities, not allowing even the smallest one to remain.

After ten minutes, every flicker of flas had vanished inside Cain's brain. Since he had overco the power in the First Layer, its power was now part of him.

Cain was able to rest for a few monts, allowing his mind to stabilize before the next layer of flas descended. The second layer resembled eerie shadows as if the darkness of the world had been set ablaze and were going to be used to challenge his mind.

Second Layer: The Lingering Shadows.

If it were a normal Nine Heavens Ego Destruction Tribulation, it would have been 18 kiloters wide, but this was no normal tribulation, and the size of the layers of shadowy flas descending upon Cain was 81 kiloters wide!

As the layer of shadowy flas fell, the environnt was shrouded in a twilight haze, filled with haunting whispers and echoes of past regrets and unresolved issues. The power was so imnse that most of the warriors of the Sacred Races were forced to pull back, and even most of those enduring the power of the Flickering Flas could not help but avert their eyes.

The only warriors of the Sacred Races that were able to keep their eyes firm in the face of that onslaught of regret were the Collapsing Lightning Emperor and Zero Mint. The duo clenched their fists and teeth as they faced the strength of the flas, but resisted, using everything they had to endure.

The reason why those two were pushing themselves so hard was because they understood the role they would play in the future. Their minds and souls needed to be strong enough to endure that agonizing burden and crushing responsibilities.
