Chapter 1615: Fame
Over the following weeks and months, shocking news swept across the Everlife Continent, and all of it revolved around the same man—a figure who, just a few years ago, had crippled a Prima Deity and unleashed a Tier 9 Astral Supremacy Star in the middle of the continent.
The name of Cain Laurifer, which had finally started to fade into silence, suddenly resurfaced with even greater force—this time, carrying an even more astonishing legend.
According to countless reports, it all transpired within the Gu World during the infamous Gu Contest. The contest itself was no secret; after all, the Gu Sect forcibly gathered hundreds of millions of cultivators to participate in it. However, this time, the contest took an unprecedented and terrifying turn.
Eyewitnesses—hundreds of Divine Transcendence Masters—reported that Reverend Madness, the founder of the Gu Sect, had resurfaced in the middle of the competition. He was seen devouring cultivators alive using his Gu Insects, draining their life force to restore his former glory.
And he succeeded.
By consuming countless lives, Reverend Madness reforged his body and returned as a Prima Deity.
Yet just as he was about to annihilate every last living being in the Gu World, a single man appeared before him—Cain Laurifer.
Unlike his previous battle with Marlin, where he relied on schemes and misdirection, this time, Cain Laurifer faced the ancient monster in direct combat, relying on nothing else but his raw power.
In full view of all witnesses, Cain transformed into a colossus, a cosmic entity whose very hands could crush moons. What followed was a battle so cataclysmic that it shook the entire Gu World, reducing entire continents to obliteration.
And then… Cain Laurifer slew Reverend Madness.
At first, the scale of the feat seemed impossible. Many doubted it, dismissing it as exaggerated rumors. However, no matter how much the powerhouses of the Gu Sect interrogated the Divine Transcendence Masters, they all recounted the exact same tale.
