Chapter 2654: Back to the Red King (I)

Cain could not help but show a wide, radiant smile as he felt the strength coursing through his Apex Hybrid Body.

The sensation was exhilarating.

Although his Royal Blutlinie Body continued to be the strongest body he possessed, that advantage stemmed largely from its higher cultivation base and the opportunities it had encountered within Paradise.

When it came to pure potential, things were very different.

"In terms of potential, this body does not fall behind the one I forged using the life and blood of thousands of geniuses in Paradise."

The Scarlet King spoke those words with unconcealed excitement before taking a deep breath.

Immediately afterward, he allowed his consciousness to expand outward.

His will surged beyond the palace, beyond the Divine Kingdom, and then spread into the endless Void itself. His perception crossed vast distances before descending upon the landmass of the Crimson World.

In the cultivation system of the Crimson World, the greatest limitation upon a warrior’s growth was the quality of their True Name.

The stronger the True Name, the greater the heights one could reach without encountering bottlenecks.

Cain’s True Name had undergone a tremendous evolution after his Primordial Essence returned from Paradise. Since then, it had continued to grow stronger as he fought the Root, confronted the Curse Eaters, and repeatedly pushed himself beyond his limits in the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe.

Now that the evolved True Name had returned to the Crimson World.

There were no barriers left before him.

The only thing limiting his advancement was fuel.

Fortunately, fuel was precisely what this body excelled at obtaining.

The Neo-Angel lineage possessed a unique gift that allowed them to draw energy directly from the universe’s matrix. Combined with the monstrous adaptability of the Neo-Demon bloodline, the result was a vessel capable of absorbing unimaginable quantities of power.

Cain released his restraints.

The effect was immediate.

The Void trembled.

The landmass next to it shook.

Across the surrounding regions, currents of energy erupted from mountains, oceans, ley lines, and dimensions hidden within dimensions.

Countless streams of radiant power converged toward the Divine Kingdom.

At first, they resembled rivers.

Then they became oceans.

Finally, they transformed into a cosmic flood.

The void glowed as vast whirlpools of energy appeared above the kingdom.

The people in the neighboring kingdom stared in awe as heavenly currents descended from every direction and poured into the body of the Scarlet King.

The Divine Kingdom within Cain’s body began to expand.

Its foundations grew denser.

Its laws became stronger.

Its authority deepened.

At the same time, every cell of his Hybrid Body underwent refinement.

His flesh grew stronger.

His blood became purer.

His soul resonated more deeply with the universe around him.

The pressure radiating from him increased with every passing moment.

The eyes of every powerhouse in the realm turned toward the Scarlet King’s Divine Kingdom, and they could not hide the awe and dread that such might brought to their hearts.

The process continued without pause.

The energy pouring into Cain seemed endless.

Yet no matter how much power entered his body, it vanished like water falling into a bottomless abyss.

His Divine Kingdom absorbed everything.

His True Name refined everything.

His body transformed everything.

The growth was so astonishing that it made even veteran powerhouses question reality.

It was during this event that the Demon King arrived, and a wide smile appeared on his face as he saw the devouring power of the Scarlet King.

There was a deep bond between the two, and the Demon King knew that the stronger the Scarlet King became, the safer the Crimson World would be, so he waited patiently for Cain to finish eating.

The realm continued to shake as more and more waves of energy descended.

Within the eye of the storm, Cain slowly closed his eyes.

A smile filled with anticipation appeared on his face.

"If I can bring this body back to the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe and properly fuse it with my Primordial Body, then my energy, strength, endurance, and vitality will all break into the Fourth Realm."

The thrill burning in Cain’s heart only intensified as he contemplated the possibilities.

"Perhaps even my soul and willpower will take that final step as well."

As those thoughts crossed his mind, his heartbeat accelerated, causing the torrents of energy pouring into his body to grow even stronger.

A fierce light appeared in his eyes.

"That power would be enough to shatter Nito’s soul, even if he wields the Samsara Eye."

Every word carried immense killing intent, but also excitement.

The prospect of finally obtaining the strength needed to decisively end the war.

Still, it did not take long for Cain to calm himself and analyze the situation with a clear and rational mind.

"Of course, all of that depends on whether I can actually move this body into the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe."

A solemn expression appeared on his face.

Transporting a physical body across universes was an extraordinarily difficult task.

Although this body carried the purest and most powerful form of the Crimson Bloodline, greatly enhancing his affinity for the Flow, talent alone would not solve the problem.

Cain knew that Noah had once traveled through universes using the Flow and had even managed to bring Meylin along with him.

However, the key to that achievement had not been superior talent.

In terms of understanding the Flow, Cain and Noah were on similar levels.

"It was those eyes."

There was no way Cain could ever forget the Red King Eyes.

They were a treasure that stood on a level comparable to the power of the Samsara Lord himself. More importantly, they granted an incredibly precise and profound control over the Flow, allowing Noah to guide not only his soul but also a physical body through the currents connecting universes.

"I cannot replicate the Red King Eyes."

A meaningful light appeared in Cain’s eyes.

"But I can return to the place where they were born."

As memories surfaced in his mind, he recalled one of the most significant sagas of his time in the Crimson World, a Chapter of his journey that had changed the fate of countless lives.
