Chapter 789: Devouring willpowers (II)
In the end, the power of the Tower of Concepts reclaimed most of the black force field, but Cain displayed an ecstatic smile as he consumed 5% of it. The Scarlet King's ecstasy intensified as he observed the Sun Seed grow slightly larger and more powerful.
Enhancing his Sun Seed meant improving his Ego Wave since the Alter-Ego was the core of his Ego Eternal Path of Power. At this moment, any improvement was immensely important, as Cain needed to prepare himself for the Nine Heaven Ego Destruction Tribulation.
Before this lucky encounter, Cain thought the only way he could improve his chances of surviving the Nine Heavens Ego Destruction Tribulation was to enhance his soul force. However, that path was extremely complicated since continuing to strengthen his soul force before evolving his cultivation base was nearly impossible.
With a smile, Cain waited for the next force field to appear. This one was blue and significantly larger than the previous ones. Its power seemed to have reached the lower threshold of the Third Realm, being able to act beyond the energy aspect of existence, affecting matter.
The opponent's strength only excited Cain. The more power and energy that willpower carried, the more he could consume and grow stronger.
The blue force field soon surrounded the Sun Seed and unleashed an oceanic intent. Cain felt as if he had been dripped into the bottom of a massive ocean, crushed by darkness. The sensation of drowning attempted to break his concentration and plunge him into despair.
This Ego Wave's power was similar to Zarak's, yet much darker and evil. However, despite its power, it could not break Cain's will or focus, and he immediately pushed the Concept of Gluttony to its limit. The mighty blue force field could do nothing against the devouring force of the Sun Seed.
The blue willpower began to disappear inside the Sun Seed at a shocking speed.
Cain knew that time was of the essence. As the Sun Seed consumed the blue force field, he immediately focused on assimilating its energy. That way, he could devour more of the willpower before the Tower of Concepts could reclaim it.
After a few minutes, the blue force field was gone, as the Sun Seed had devoured all of it. While the Tower of Concepts managed to recover most of the willpower, since Cain was faster this time, he was able to consume nearly 8%. This was much more than what he obtained from the black force field, and since this one was stronger and had more energy, the benefits were also much more significant.
