Beasts lunged toward him again, not giving him a moment to rest-their claws ready to pierce his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as waves of attacks came from all directions, Cain did not lose his calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even closed his eyes, taking a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claws were already upon him when he finally opened his eyes, sharpness emerging from them as he made his move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scarlet dragon’s body spun with overwhelming force, generating a centrifugal force that sent the Life Beasts flying away-all except for one, whom he grabbed by the left foot, absorbing its life force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain had already learned his lesson and devoured with overwhelming precision, just enough to regain his stamina and energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as the life influx was about to overwhelm him, he sent forth a blast of fire that blew up the Life Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shutting down the influx of life and energy was not easy, so Cain destroyed the source-that way, he solved the problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an ingenious take on the challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the life and energy taken from that Life Beast, Cain felt back at his peak and gazed at the end of the chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goal was to leave this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the amount of energy he had would not last more than ten seconds, and that would not be enough, but there were hundreds more of Life Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would have to fight the Life Beasts and consume the energy of some of them from time to time to avoid falling unconscious due to exhaustion as he pushed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would not be easy, but Cain was confident in his abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clenched his fists as he dashed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next clash erupted like a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Life Beasts, sensing his intent to escape, roared in unison and charged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain met them head-on, his scales shimmering with an inner fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A colossal beast resembling a horned rhinoceros barreled toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain sidestepped gracefully, his tail whipping around to trip the creature, sending it crashing to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaped onto its back, pressing his clawed hand against its hide to siphon just enough energy to stave off exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the influx could overwhelm him, he unleashed a concentrated burst of lightning, causing the beast to explode into fragments of energy that dissipated into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another beast, this one with the body of a lion and the wings of a bat, descended upon him from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain didn’t flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a swift motion, he spread his wings and shot upward, colliding with the creature in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact sent shockwaves throughout the chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grasping its throat, he absorbed a sliver of its vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast writhed in agony before he finished it off with a searing blast of flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every few seconds, as exhaustion threatened to take hold, Cain repeated this cycle-engaging a Life Beast, absorbing just enough energy, and then destroying it before the life influx became too much to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movements were precise and calculated, a dance of survival and dominance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Life Beasts were relentless, but Cain’s superior strength and fighting prowess kept him ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pack of wolf-like creatures with razor-sharp spines cornered him against a wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They lunged simultaneously, but Cain thrust his palms forward, releasing a shockwave that threw them back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the moment, he appeared behind one, draining its energy swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the others regrouped, he detonated the beast in his grasp, the explosion creating a barrier of force that knocked the rest off their feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battles wore on, each one pushing Cain’s limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, with every Life Beast defeated, he grew more adept at balancing the fine line between replenishing his energy and avoiding overload.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His strategy became an intricate rhythm: attack, absorb, destroy, advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This grueling process continued for nearly twenty days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chamber seemed endless, the horde of Life Beasts unceasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But finally, Cain saw a glimmer of light ahead-the exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a final surge of effort, he barreled through the last wave of creatures, leaving the hundreds of Life Beasts behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The draining force of the chamber faded, and he felt a weight lift from his spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain continued pushing forward, allowing himself a moment of relaxation as he surveyed the cavernous terrain of the Sky Devouring Grotto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bioluminescent fungi illuminated the path ahead, which cast a soft, eerie glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stalactites hung like ancient chandeliers from the ceiling, and the distant sound of dripping water echoed through the vast space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was thick with the scent of mineral-rich rocks and the faint hum of latent energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For nearly five hours, the journey was peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain relished the quiet, using the time to recuperate fully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But eventually, the serene path led him to a massive plain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed as he gazed upon ten thousand white humanoids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They seemed human but lacked eyes, ears, and noses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, their maws were enormous, stretching from one corner of their faces to the other, filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their appearance was unsettling, but what puzzled Cain most was that they all had their backs turned to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eye of Gluttony on the scarlet dragon’s forehead glowed as he analyzed the power of all ten thousand White Humanoids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his surprise, they were all at Level 18-meaning they were Sky Masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if they all attack me simultaneously, they would not be able to surpass my natural defenses,” Cain thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So what is the point of having this force face me?” That thought crossed his mind just as he was right on top of the White Humanoids, and then it happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scarlet dragon’s entire body trembled as an overwhelming force gripped him, sealing his movement and freezing him in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wings ceased their flapping; his limbs were immobilized as if encased in invisible chains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things did not end there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ten thousand White Humanoids all turned toward Cain simultaneously, their movements unnaturally synchronized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their maws opened wide, emitting a weird chant that resonated through the plain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound was a haunting melody of whispers and growls, echoing off the unseen boundaries of the space.\u003C\u002Fp>",1040,"2026-06-02T09:45:39.383Z",1,"novelbin.me","7bd1b81497ff5611dfe1bdfacab69b9b3898b4523de3c6a3c3c4039f6cee3847","the-epic-tale-of-chaos-vs-order-chapter-1265","the-epic-tale-of-chaos-vs-order-chapter-1263",2587,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-epic-tale-of-chaos-vs-order-cover.jpg"]
