since the flame with thirty-one colors flooded the winged demonic snake when a sea of world energy surged into the Soul Dimension, pouring into it with unrestrained force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain’s eyes sharpened as his entire focus locked onto Leviathan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike a typical Tribulation Enhancement, where one simply absorbs the world’s energy and allows the body to assimilate it, only having to worry about avoiding any form of stagnation, a Spirit Tribulation Enhancement requires a much more delicate and dangerous process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tribulation Enhancer needed to fuse the energy into the very particles of spiritual and psychic force that formed the Alter-Ego.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the process failed, the world energy would taint the spiritual and psychic forces, weakening their integrity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This imbalance could cause a catastrophic collapse, shattering the Alter-Ego and, in the process, destroying the mind, ego, and memories of the cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In essence, you fail, you die.  Cain raised his hand, his mind shutting out everything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He devoted himself entirely to guiding the waves of world energy and merging them with Leviathan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, the process seemed to work as intended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world energy was gradually fusing with the psychic forces shaping the Alter-Ego, a sight that brought a brief but genuine smile to Cain’s lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that relief was short-lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fusion was taking too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The untamed world energy was accumulating inside the Alter-Ego, surging wildly through Leviathan’s unstable form, making the situation even worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without proper control, the energy was becoming chaotic, worsening the instability of the winged demonic serpent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain’s brows furrowed as he struggled to accelerate the process, but he knew he was at a critical threshold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sky Sovereign, watching from the sidelines, could not help but show confusion flashing in his ancient eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain was methodical, often executing dangerous schemes with careful planning and strategy, but attempting to stabilize an Alter-Ego through a Spirit Tribulation Enhancement seemed rash and reckless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many paths Cain could have taken in order to overcome this ordeal, yet he had chosen the most impulsive one that would cost him his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Sky Sovereign’s thoughts were interrupted when something truly bizarre happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when it seemed like Leviathan would collapse, the world energy fused with its particles at an astonishing rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previously chaotic energy, which had been on the verge of destabilizing Leviathan completely, fused into the Alter-Ego in seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that-every drop of incoming world energy immediately followed suit, fusing with the winged demonic snake without any form of resistance and at a simply shocking speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if the one in charge was not a man but an all-powerful machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sky Sovereign stared in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the second time he had witnessed Cain performing something that should have been impossible regarding Tribulation Enhancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first time was during the battle against the woman, where he healed himself mid-fight using Tribulation Enhancement-the process carrying on its own without him giving it a second thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, it was happening again, but on an even grander scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old phantom ran a hand through his spectral form and let out a groan of frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no logical explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing in his vast knowledge of cultivation could justify what he had just seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knew better than to waste his time dwelling on mysteries he could not solve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain was clearly full of secrets, and the Sky Sovereign doubted he would ever uncover them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, he returned his focus to the destruction of the Karmic Seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain, meanwhile, observed Leviathan’s condition with a complicated expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ideally, he would have been able to perform the Spirit Tribulation Enhancement on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the truth was painfully clear-his skill level simply wasn’t high enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been forced to rely on the [Enhancement Module], draining a considerable amount of Spiritual Destiny Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a price he was willing to pay, but that didn’t mean he liked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the past several years, Cain had accumulated a significant amount of SDF.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His rise in cultivation, the countless enemies he had slain, and the completion of the Sky Sovereign’s Tomb had all contributed to his reserves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was not endless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain had already been forced to spend a thousand SDF during the battle against the woman, and while his victory over a Third Realm life form had strengthened his destiny, he had just been forced to spend another two thousand SDF.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That left him with barely three hundred points in reserve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The realization did not sit well with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did it mean he would be unable to evolve any of his modules aside from the [A.I.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chip Module] once his soul force reached the Divine Transcendence Realm, but it also meant he had no reserves for emergencies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Running out of SDF at a critical moment could mean the difference between life and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Future problem for the future me.” Cain sighed but shrugged off the thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, his only concern was ensuring Leviathan’s recovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put aside his worries about SDF depletion and focused on the healing of his Alter-Ego.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the last traces of world energy fused into the winged demonic serpent, its size began to expand once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once-feeble form strengthened, growing back to two hundred thousand meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its instability faded significantly, though not entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain observed the results with a neutral expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he would have preferred the Spirit Tribulation Enhancement to fully restore Leviathan to its peak, this had only been a 31 Revolutions Refinement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t expect miracles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain took a deep breath as he sent a command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“System, scan the Alter-Ego and show me its condition.” Immediately, the System’s power surged through the Soul Dimension, focusing on Leviathan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mechanical voice echoed in Cain’s mind the next second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Alter-Ego has healed, and its condition is no longer in danger of dispersing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, residual damage remains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continued use could trigger instability once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Host is advised to seal the Alter-Ego and refrain from using its power until full recovery is achieved.]\u003C\u002Fp>",1032,"2026-06-02T09:45:46.162Z",1,"novelbin.me","0543f76db841178dc4429a657ab0b6f09be11a6841fe14b5806e9966275b6a1d","the-epic-tale-of-chaos-vs-order-chapter-1541","the-epic-tale-of-chaos-vs-order-chapter-1539",2587,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-epic-tale-of-chaos-vs-order-cover.jpg"]
