Chapter 808: Hidden Calamity (III)
Some Astral Cultivators would face an even worse fate, as they would not die; their bodies carried on without the willpower to control them, transforming them into killing machines that would destroy everything around them and would continue to slaughter until there was nothing left.
That was the main reason Cain did not want to do this in a populated area, much less in Silver City. After all, if he went crazy, who could stop him?
Cain remained unmoving for several minutes. Yet, before the Ego Wave could dissipate, a dot of light emerged at the deepest part of his eyes, one that embodied pure willpower without any rational thought.
"¡AHHHHHHH!"
Along with that roar, Cain's Astral Rebirth Heart began to beat faster and faster, glowing with overwhelming power as it interacted with the Laws of the Astral Rebirth Path of Power.
All the Wave Beasts in Blade Mountain looked to the sky in awe and wonder. They saw how the stars began to shine with such intensity that they were visible even during the day. While the beasts were lost in their trance, invisible starlight streams descended, crossing hundreds of kilometers of earth and rock before reaching Cain's dissolved Ego Wave.
The second step of the Mind Tribulation was known as Starlight Infusion. It involved fusing the power of Astral Starlight, the energy that Astral Divine Ascension Cultivators used to reforge their bodies in the Star Sovereign Divine System.
Astral Starlight was commonly known to be a power only Divine Ascension Masters could channel. Yet, Cain had already proved that to be a mistake when he summoned it by triggering a 25 Revolution Refinement, and he was doing it again during the Mind Calamity.
More and more Astral Starlight began to fuse into the dissolved red force field. The more starlight that could be ingrained into the Ego Wave, the better, as it would improve the warriors' power. Usually, it would take a few weeks, with geniuses taking over a month, but Cain's case was special.
The abnormal size of his Ego Wave meant that the amount of Astral Starlight he could engrave was much greater. More and more starlight fused into his willpower until finally, after nearly three months, nothing more could be contained.
