Chapter 1590: How to deal with Reverend Madness
A flash of light coursed through the sky of the Gu World before splitting into hundreds of copies, each scattering in different directions. All of them radiated the same aura, making it nearly impossible, even for a Soul Realm Master, to distinguish the real one from the illusions.
One of these figures slipped into the ocean, its presence vanishing entirely. There was no trace left behind, not even the faintest ripple of its existence, for the individual’s flesh and blood had seamlessly merged with the surrounding water.
Though his approach might have seemed excessive, Cain dared not be careless when dealing with a monster that had managed to survive for half a billion years.
He descended deeper and deeper until he reached the ocean floor. As he landed on the soft sediment, the full might of his Ego Wave spread out from his mind, scanning the vicinity so thoroughly that even the smallest specks of dust hundreds of kilometers away registered in his consciousness. Only when he was absolutely certain that he was both alone and unfollowed did Cain allow himself a moment of respite. Yet, as he relaxed, a heavy frown surfaced on his face.
“Ahhhhh. Why does misfortune follow me wherever I go?” he murmured with a sigh, a complicated smile tugging at his lips.
There had been dozens—perhaps even hundreds—of Gu Contests in the history of the Gu Sect, but it was only this one, the very one he had meddled with, that an Archdeity planned to exploit for rebirth. Even if Cain wished to flee, there was no way to escape, as the Crystal Wall of the Gu World was no ordinary barrier. It not only stopped outsiders from entering but also locked everyone inside until only one Gu Insect remained.
Fortunately for Cain, his willpower had once again condensed into a form of mental power capable of calming his emotions and clearing his mind, allowing him to overcome all the frustration. After a few seconds, the focus returned to his eyes.
Taking a steadying breath, Cain manifested his consciousness inside the Soul Dimension. A small smile tugged at his lips as he gazed upon the colossal, winged demonic snake moving across the dimension with a strength that could eclipse stars. It overflowed with power and majesty, having clearly grown more formidable since its hibernation.
“Leviathan has become much stronger than it was before. I suppose I’ve reached the limit of what I can achieve at Mind Over Soul and will not grow stronger until I take the next step in the Ego Eternal Path of Power,” Cain murmured.
Despite the ordeal he had endured, the only true silver lining was the healing and advancement of his Alter-Ego. Yet if he could not discover a way to handle Reverend Madness, all of these gains would ultimately be in vain as he would die and be devoured by that ancient monster.
