Chapter 1194

Chapter 1194: Old enemy (I) Chapter 1194: Old enemy (I) Cain couldn’t focus on the awe he was generating among the Ancient Dragons; he was too focused on the gamble he had just made.

The goal was simple: by directly devouring the monstrous creatures and funneling them into his stomach where they would be consumed by the Scarlet Reaper, could he replenish enough energy to maintain the scarlet flames that enveloped his gargantuan body-potent enough to repel the creatures and keep the Ancient Dragons safe?

It didn’t take long for the results to show, and the truth was more astonishing than Cain anticipated.

The energy he obtained from devouring the monsters didn’t just match his energy expenditure-it greatly surpassed it!

Immediately, the massive waves of scarlet fire surrounding Cain’s dragon body exploded with renewed intensity, incinerating the creatures that surged toward him.

Even more astonishing, Cain felt his energy reserves rising instead of depleting.

Cain was genuinely shocked, wondering what kind of energy these creatures carried that allowed him to gain so much from devouring them.

But now was not the time for answers-it was the time to consume, and consume he did, feeding off the seemingly endless swarm.

Eldrick and the rest of the Ancient Dragons couldn’t help but burst into booming laughter as they witnessed the surging waves of scarlet fire and how Cain seemed brimming with energy.

“Hahaha, Elder Laurifer is truly something else!” one of the Ancient Dragons shouted, and the rest nodded in agreement.

“Hahaha, of course!

I was the one who discovered him!

My eyes always find treasures!” Eldrick boasted, raising his head high in pride.

“You’re really good at pranks, Eldrick.

We all know that most of the so-called ‘treasures’ you’ve found were nothing but junk.

I still remember the ‘ancient fruit’ you sold me-it turned out to be just a weird apple,” Zalgrim, the massive lightning dragon, said mockingly, causing the laughter to grow even louder.

The camaraderie and humor on display made it hard to believe these dragons were on the verge of a ferocious battle just moments ago, preparing to face a horde of billions of enemies.

Cain heard the laughter and smiled slightly but didn’t respond.

He continued devouring, using the energy he gained to keep the monstrous swarm at bay while channeling the surplus energy into his black hole, ensuring that his body and soul remained at their peak.

Meylin, observing the dragons all this time, couldn’t help but smile as she watched Cain flawlessly resolve the crisis that had besieged the Tiamat Sect, even growing stronger in the process.

“No matter where you go, you always manage to make a scene, don’t you?” the Saintess of the Three Moons murmured to herself with a small smile before her eyes sharpened, refocusing on the violet forcefield around her.

Using the power of the Moon of Tomorrow, she continued disintegrating the monstrous insects, but a meaningful light appeared in her eyes.

She had significantly prepared for this journey, even using her divination skills to peer into previous voyages through the Primeval World, and she could say for certain that this was the first time such creatures had appeared.

‘The delay in the opening and these strange creatures… Could this be related to the Demon King’s prophecy?’ A solemn light appeared in Meylin’s eyes as she recalled the real reason she was here, her face reflecting a determined resolve.

She would not let history repeat itself.

Not far from the Moon Cult, the people of the Sun Church had ashen faces.

The angels were filled with disappointment.

They had wanted to witness the dragons struggle against the creatures, gaining twisted satisfaction from their desperation.

But Cain’s intervention had deprived them of that spectacle.

Helios, in particular, wasn’t pleased.

A cold glint appeared in his eyes as he stared at Cain.

To someone like Helios, most of those present were insignificant pawns, inconsequential in the grand scheme of his plans.

But the power and abilities Cain displayed were beginning to bother him.

He remained silent, continuing to unleash waves of scorching heat to keep the monstrous insects at bay, yet a dangerous light flickered in his gaze.

‘I’ve planned for this moment for hundreds of thousands of years.

I won’t allow a wild card like him to disrupt my game,’ Helios thought, contemplating his next move.

Hours passed, and the swarm of monsters continued to strike relentlessly, surging from all directions toward the angels, saintesses, and dragons-only to meet their demise.

With his immense power, Cain had no trouble handling the countless swarms, devouring them endlessly.

Yet, after consuming billions of the creatures, his eyes suddenly grew sharp.

Although Eldrick and the rest of the Ancient Dragons had relaxed somewhat, seeing that Cain’s plan was working, they hadn’t let down their guard.

When they noticed the change in Cain’s eyes, Eldrick voiced the concern they all shared.

“Cain, is everything alright?” Eldrick’s question cut through the minds of the dragons.

But before they could grow too worried, Cain’s telepathic voice reassured them.

“Yes, don’t worry.

I just detected a fluctuation in my black hole, but everything is under control,” Cain’s voice echoed in their minds, as it was impossible to speak while consuming thousands of monsters every second.

Hearing his words, the Ancient Dragons relaxed.

While the reaction of the black hole was not a small thing, it made sense, considering the sheer volume of energy Cain had been processing for hours now.

Satisfied, they returned to their tasks.

Yet, a meaningful light appeared in Cain’s eyes.

The explanation he gave to the Ancient Dragons wasn’t entirely false-his black hole had indeed trembled, but it wasn’t due to the energy flowing through him.

It was because of his True Name.

Cain continued devouring the monstrous swarm, but his mind was now focused on the tremor in his True Name, and he used his soul force to uncover its origin.

The True Name was the core of his existence, containing his primordial essence and destiny, so he could not allow anything to happen to it.
