Chapter 2484: The strongest body in the three universes
Cain allowed himself a small smile as he watched Martin die.
Among the Royal Blutlinie, there existed countless strange and insidious abilities. The chances that someone possessed a technique capable of identifying a killer were far from small. Cain could not afford to openly antagonize the Immortal Nirvana Kingdom—not yet. Therefore, when it came to Martin’s death, the culprit would be Almor, a warrior of the Eternal Soul Kingdom.
It was a simple lie, easy to sell.
After all, if Cain had not intervened, that was exactly what would have happened.
He calmly observed the corpse for a few seconds longer, ensuring Martin’s life force had completely faded and that no karmic thread had formed between them. Only when he was certain did he move.
With a flick of his hand, he retrieved the heart from Almor’s grasp. Scarlet flames surged over it as he refined the Ancestor Drop contained within. At the same time, he devoured every remaining trace of vitality and spirit force from Martin’s corpse, stripping it down to its most fundamental essence. That stolen energy flowed through Cain’s body, tempering his flesh and accelerating the forging of the second Hollow Star within his brain.
A faint smile deepened on his lips as he felt his cultivation surge forward.
Yet he did not allow himself to become distracted.
The moment he completed his purpose with Martin, Cain placed his hand over Almor’s head. His eyes glowed as he carved through the shattered remains of the Royal Blutlinie’s mind, extracting every scrap of knowledge and insight that still lingered within. He took everything—memories of techniques, battle experience, strategic knowledge.
Most important of all was the information regarding the Limit Alpha Omega Overgods of the Eternal Soul Kingdom—and Shakra himself. Sooner or later, Cain would have to clash with the King of the Eternal Soul Kingdom. Understanding his enemies in advance was not caution. It was a necessity.
Cain analyzed the flood of information with cold precision. After a moment, he gave a small nod.
Then, without hesitation or mercy, he ripped out Almor’s heart and began refining the Ancestor Drop within it.
