Chapter 1790: Devouring a Divine Kingdom
The Lord of the Void couldn’t help but cast an admiring glance toward Cain, his eyes flickering with awe and curiosity. Binding the minds of Void Eclipse Legends was typically trivial for a Prima Deity. However, such binding carried inherent flaws, most notably a weakening of spiritual resilience, suppression of ambition, and severe impairment in their capability to attune to Oniric Truths. Such cultivators often became permanently trapped within the Soul Realm, unable to ascend higher.
Yet, what Cain accomplished was of an entirely different magnitude. Rather than brute force domination, he expertly rewrote the fundamental fabric of their minds and emotions, instilling an absolute sense of loyalty without erasing their free will. Their egos, ambitions, and dreams were left intact, preserving their potential for cultivation.
Under Cain’s subtle mastery, these Legends still retained the possibility of ascending to the Third Realm—assuming, of course, their inherent talent, determination, and fortune proved sufficient.
"Allow me," the Lord of the Void said calmly. With those simple words, his vast and intricate spatial power flooded throughout the Blood Queen’s Divine Kingdom. Instantly, every single vampire vanished from sight.
Cain’s eyes sharpened, perceiving the sudden influx of countless beings into his own Divine Kingdom. The complexity and efficiency of the Lord of the Void’s spatial manipulation left him momentarily stunned.
"What kind of Dream has he cultivated to attain such an extraordinary spatial domain?" However, Cain quickly suppressed this question for now, acknowledging the mystery with only a meaningful glance toward the ArchDeity.
The Neo-Demon gave a respectful nod, silently expressing his gratitude, before focusing once more on his task. Solemn determination surged within him again, and crimson flames erupted around him, signifying the intensity of his intent.
The next moment, an enormous, imposing gate appeared in the sky. Its scale was staggering, so colossal that its shadow blanketed the entire Divine Kingdom beneath. With a deep rumble echoing throughout the void, the massive gate slowly swung open, unleashing an insatiable, devouring force that distorted space-time itself.
Its target: the Blood Queen’s Divine Kingdom.
"RUMBLE!!!"
The once-majestic realm began to shudder violently. In mere seconds, vast portions broke away, spiraling helplessly upward toward the monstrous gate, rapidly consumed by the voracious hunger of the Scarlet Throne.
Cain had primarily used the Crimson World’s Scarlet Throne to devour life forms, but its capacity extended far beyond that. It could assimilate anything physical, and a Divine Kingdom, despite its intricate spiritual components, remained fundamentally a tangible construct crafted from Origin Power. Thus, it was utterly susceptible to the Throne’s devouring essence.
"What do you think you’re doing!?"
A voice boomed across the chaos—deep, ancient, and seething with barely contained fury. It belonged to none other than the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth, who had watched silently thus far. He had restrained himself when Cain altered the vampires’ minds, for they held no real significance to him.
However, devouring the entirety of Lilith’s Divine Kingdom was crossing a line. He had intended either to absorb its immense Origin Power himself or bestow it upon another loyal servant, solidifying his influence. Yet, Cain seemed determined to leave him nothing.
"I have shown you considerable restraint, boy," the Ancestor’s voice thundered, heavy with solemnity and threat. "If you continue down this path, the enmity between us will know no bounds."
Cain heard the warning clearly, but it only caused his lips to curl into a slight smile. From the moment he first challenged Lilith, he had already marked the Ancestor as a future adversary—someone who must eventually be destroyed.
Cain never left dangerous threats alive. He intended to grow stronger, endlessly stronger, until even beings as ancient and formidable as the Ancestor would crumble beneath his feet. Thus, threats and hatred, no matter how vast or ancient, held no sway over his resolve.
Undeterred, Cain’s Scarlet Throne continued devouring, dismantling the Divine Kingdom piece by colossal piece, rapidly consuming it until nothing but chaotic emptiness remained. Each piece assimilated by the Scarlet Throne vastly increased its store of Origin Power. Cain smiled broadly as he sensed the tremendous energy now ready for his use, a nearly massive reservoir awaiting his command.
Of course, along with this reward, Cain also felt the intense gaze of the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth stabbing into his back like daggers, clearly communicating the boundless enmity he had earned. Yet, this hostility was anticipated, and Cain paid it little attention.
"Hmph!"
The Lord of the Void sneered dismissively, covering both Cain and Meylin in a blanket of his spatial energy. The trio immediately vanished from the Ancestor’s domain, effortlessly teleporting away from the hostile region of chaos.
Thanks to the incredible power of the Lord of the Void, it took only moments before they reappeared within the safety and comfort of Cain’s own Divine Kingdom. Once safely home, the ArchDeity turned toward Cain, genuine admiration clear in his ancient, glowing eyes.
"Well done, young man," the Lord of the Void praised sincerely. "You have demonstrated your willpower and cunning far beyond even my highest expectations."
His voice radiated pure exhilaration, reflecting the deep satisfaction he felt at having finally delivered such a meaningful blow against his old enemy. This act of retribution was more than mere revenge—it was the alleviation of a burden that had lingered on his heart and soul for millions of years. This newfound clarity was invaluable not just for his peace of mind but also for his cultivation, removing distractions and allowing smoother progression toward further breakthroughs.
Cain nodded respectfully toward the Lord of the Void. "I will contact you when it is time for the next step," he promised firmly.
Satisfied, the Lord of the Void returned the gesture and departed quietly, vanishing into the endless expanse of chaos beyond.
Left alone with Meylin, Cain’s gaze shifted toward the vibrant expanse of his rapidly growing Divine Kingdom. His eyes burned with ambition and anticipation as he opened his mouth, allowing the overwhelming ocean of Origin Power amassed by the Scarlet Throne to flood into the kingdom.
