Chapter 534: Saga to the Hyperion Continent (II)
All the powerhouses gazing at the picture adopted solemn expressions. Although they did not deny Cain’s feats, many could be explained if he had hidden help. That train of thought would not be entirely wrong since Cain obtained assistance in the form of Blood Hand Skill during the Blade Mountain events.
However, nothing could assist you within a Natural Inheritance, and you could only depend on yourself. Clearly, the young man did not need the assistance of others to shine.
The image in the sky changed again, and this time, it showed Cain on top of a red ocean in the middle of two great armies, and above him, there was a figure covered in bloody fog.
"My Foster Son’s influence does not limit itself to small skirmishes as he was the core figure in the Blood Sea’s Civil War, a conflict with two Titans instigated by one of the mighty Dark Kings. Not only did Cain help the righteous side to win, but he protected the civilians, and his influence forced a True Titan to escape."
All the powerhouses stared at Cain with awe as they connected the dots. Cain’s background in the Godslayer Humankind Empire was not shallow, and there must be people at the True Titan level guarding him.
That information was enough to erase the notion that the young man needed to travel to another continent to improve his background since he was clearly very successful in his home.
Once again, the picture changed. This time, it showed a bloody figure chasing Cain as he went through a massive portal with a bleeding wound on the center of his chest.
"Unfortunately, no good deed goes unpunished. During his time in the capital, the Blood King ambushed my Foster Son. Despite the immense difference in their powers, Cain was able to escape, but not before having his Rebirth Heart crippled."
When people heard that, a flash of pity appeared in their eyes since you needed more than talent to achieve Cain’s power. It required immense hard work and numerous lucky chances, so the idea of losing everything and starting from zero was terrifying.
Of course, losing his cultivation had little to no impact on Cain since he could always strive in another path. However, that mental fortitude was thanks to his mastery of Order, or else even he would have had difficulty assimilating everything.
Lord Kabuto changed the image again, showing Cain standing proudly with sky-blue energy emerging from his lower abdomen and surrounded by shadowy figures.
"Of course, not even a crippled Sacred Organ could detain my Foster Son’s path, and he simply started from scratch with his Essence Evolution Path of Power, becoming the nightmare of the Dark Factions in the Kronos Continent that went by the name of Scarlet King.
