It’s been eleven years since Kent began cultivating in the Chaos Chasm, within the territory of the Red Bone Chaos Tribe.
So far, he had formed two cores for each of his affinities—the Blood Core, Chaos Heart, Evil Core, Flame Core, Ice Core, and Lightning Core.
Aside from that, he had also tempered his body to such an extent that, after years of relentless hard work, he was now parable to a Supreme Lord walking the body tempering path.
He had already attained the First Demon Body in the Nine Demon Body Tempering Art. However, that wasn’t good enough for Kent.
After achieving such a breakthrough—one that would have taken many years under normal circumstances—he immediately moved on to cultivate the Second Demon Body.
His plan was to cultivate up to the Third Demon Body, since he could already tell that attempting it in his own universe would consume all his wealth.
The treasures required to cultivate the Second Demon Body alone were simply too numerous and precious to prehend.
So he intended to take full advantage of the opportunity he had been given and cultivate three Demon Bodies before the fifty years were up.
Then again, if only he knew what was ing.
Kent was well aware that as long as the fifty years hadn’t ended, he would never lack cultivation treasures. So he devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation, repeatedly shocking the leaders and people of the Red Bone Chaos Tribe.
Aside from the twelve leaders, the tribe had roughly forty thousand members, with even the weakest being three teenagers, each at the Supreme Monarch stage.
If Kent were to meet them, he would probably call them his juniors. Yet a single punch from any one of them would be enough to shatter every bone in his body.
Amazingly, every one of them paid close attention to Kent, whom their leaders had already announced would be representing their tribe in the uping Chaos Ascension King Trial.
Because of this, they all regarded him as someone of great importance to their tribe.
The Chaos Ascension King Trial is open to anyone from the Demigod stage onward to participate.
This also meant that the trial was different for every participant, by adapting to their cultivation level. So, despite Kent being only an Immortal Monarch, they knew it was only a matter of time before he reached the Demigod stage.

[12 Years into Cultivation]
On the twelve year since he had begun cultivating, the first person from another tribe arrived, having followed the signs that had appeared over the years while Kent cultivated within the Red Bone Chaos Tribe.
The first sign appeared when he formed his second Chaos Heart. Everyone felt a power so vast and untamed spread throughout the Chaos Chasm.
At first, it was attributed to someone making a breakthrough in the Chaos Chasm.
However, the moment the auras of Ice, Flame, Lightning, Evil, and his other affinities began spreading across the world, they realized something extraordinary was happening within their realm.
The Tribe Leader of the Void Vein Chaos Tribe, Borislav, arrived after traveling several light-years to reach the Red Bone Chaos Tribe.
The Chaos Chasm might be a single world with only seven tribes, each containing fewer than one hundred thousand people, but it was unimaginably vast. Traveling from one tribe to another could take several million light-years.
However, since even the weakest inhabitant of this world was a Demigod, Borislav arrived in less than five minutes. The only thing that took time was tracking the source of the unusual energy fluctuations.
"I never expected the Red Bone Chaos Tribe to have produced such a prodigy in recent years. It makes me wonder when it happened and why I haven’t heard of it sooner," Borislav said, his voice echoing directly into the minds of the twelve leaders of the Red Bone Chaos Tribe.
Jyoti Lata smiled when she heard him. She rose from her throne before appearing beside her.
"I thought you and your people wanted nothing to do with us ever again. Did I hear wrong, or has your shamelessness simply given you thicker skin?" Jyoti Lata replied, maintaining her smile.
While she possessed a more proportionate height pared to the rest of her tribe, who possessed towering heights standing between eight and eleven feet tall, with crimson-white bones naturally visible beneath translucent skin, two large curved horns, red glowing veins carrying liquid Chaos Essence, and golden-red eyes with slit pupils—the Tribe Leader of the Void Vein Chaos Tribe had a much leaner appearance.
He had pale gray skin that shimmered beneath the twin suns overhead, long silver-black hair, and black sclera surrounding deep purple irises.
Four metallic Chaos Rings floated behind his back, and, most notably, his thin, elegant physique stood in stark contrast to the towering builds of the Red Bone Chaos Tribe.
Instead of horns, two crystalline Chaos antennae extended from his temples.
"You can’t blame me for that when it was your tribe’s fault to begin with. One hundred thousand years ago, a member of your tribe killed someone from mine, so blame your inability to keep your people under control," Borislav laughed before turning his gaze toward the area where Kent was cultivating.
Like Jyoti Lata, he was also a True Eternal, a being who had already surpassed the Primordial Realm.
"He doesn’t look like one of yours, Jyoti Lata."
"That’s because he isn’t. He came from the Infinity Universe."
Borislav furrowed his brows.
"Now that is interesting. The last time someone came from there was... what, ten billion years ago?"
"Thirteen and a half billion years ago, and that person is now an Eternal like us. So you can imagine my joy when he appeared in my tribe," Jyoti Lata said with a laugh, taking the opportunity to brag a little.
For as long as she could remember, no one from the Infinity Universe had ever arrived within her tribe. In fact, she had performed countless rituals over the years, yet none had yielded results.
So, finally receiving one of her own made her genuinely happy.
"He arrived sixteen years ago, and you can already see the progress he has made."
Borislav nodded.
"Not only does he possess the physique of a Supreme Lord, but he also has more than one Chaos Heart. On top of that, he’s close to attaining the Second Demon Body."
He turned to look at Jyoti Lata.
"This kid is a body tempering prodigy."
Jyoti Lata laughed.
"Indeed. It took me thirteen thousand years to attain the Second Demon Body, yet he’s about to acplish it in less than twenty years. It makes me wonder if he’s the one we’ve all been waiting for."
"You don’t mean..."
Borislav looked at Kent once more, this time examining him much more carefully. When he sensed the other aura surrounding Kent, his eyes widened.
"This... Is he related to the Chaos Ascension King?"
"He said no, but I still have my doubts. Regardless, he has agreed to represent my tribe in the uping Chaos Ascension King Trial. So if he truly is the one destined to grant us our freedom, then a few years from now, he’ll prove it to us."
"Even if he isn’t, I’d still put my money on a monster like him."
Jyoti Lata smiled faintly.
"Oh? Are you planning on snatching him away from me?"
Borislav smirked.
"Don’t be ridiculous, Jyoti Lata. At the end of the day, if he passes the trial, all seven of us will gain our freedom. So if anything, I’d rather help him achieve that."
’Of course you would. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have baited you suckers into ing here,’ Jyoti Lata laughed inwardly, turning slightly to her left, looking into the distance.
