Every tribe has that one mysterious level nobody has managed to reach since the Chaos Ascension King left the Chaos Chasm billions of years ago.
To the Obsidian Scale Chaos Tribe, it was the Undying Obsidian Furnace, which is said to possess the power to temper the body of the one who awakens it from the Undying Obsidian Body to the Undying Immortal Body.
The Void Vein Chaos Tribe had the legend of the Infinity Void Expanse, where the person who awakens it fights and kills beasts made purely of Void Essence, and the more they kill, the more Void Essence they absorb.
It was said that this method is the fastest way to rise from nothing to the top in void cultivation.
Both methods are ones both tribes have pursued whenever a new prodigy emerged within their tribe, yet they have never once managed to awaken either of them.
Yet, in a twist of fate, Kent appeared and, within a decade, awakened both. More shocking was that each time, he awakens this method flawlessly and easily, almost as if he had no resistance at all.
Who is to say he wouldn’t awaken the ones meant for the other techniques?

[A year and a half into the Void Vein Chaos Scripture cultivation]
Kent opened his eyes, causing the space around him to begin cracking. Soon, the void shattered around him, and waves of Void Essence poured out. However, as if he were a black hole, all the essence that emerged was absorbed into his body.
Before him, a series of messages was displayed.

Kent looked at the messages, and for a moment, he simply lifted his head and laughed.
In just a year and a half, he had formed three Void Cores and three Void Veins, connecting each Void Vein to its respective Void Core, giving him direct access to the void.
Right now, the only reason he would get tired in bat is if his body gave out after enduring too much stress. However, he was a body cultivator and, more importantly, a dragon.
Getting tired would be difficult by all standards. In fact, what hinders most powerhouses isn’t their bodies getting tired but rather their energy being exhausted.
However, Kent now had an almost infinite supply of energy within him. So long as the amount of energy he unleashed did not exceed the rate at which he regenerated it, he would never suffer from energy exhaustion.
But even if his expenditure is more than his absorption, he looked at the next technique he would be cultivating, and a smile formed on his face...
">
Kent didn’t waste much time and dived right into the next technique. He knew he still had time to spare, but the sooner he mastered all the techniques, the faster he would be able to return to his wives and loved ones.

When Kent opened his eyes, he found himself in the middle of a blood sea filled with millions, perhaps billions, of gigantic bones.
Skulls the size of mountains could be seen, while spines that pierced the clouds towered over the endless blood sea.
"And it gets weirder and weirder."
">
"No fighting this time, huh?" A smile formed on his face, and then, tapping into the cultivation method within the technique, Kent started devouring both the blood and the bones.
The colossal bones under his mand kept turning into streams of energy containing trillions of tiny runes before entering his body.
On the outside, Kent’s skin dissolved, revealing only his skeletal structure.
Jyoti Lata smiled when she saw this.
"I guess he decided to go ahead and cultivate the Red Bone Chaos Devouring Art next."
Her happiness caused the others to roll their eyes.
However, the next moment, her eyes widened, and so did everyone else’s.
"Are those Primordial Runes?" Parand asked, adding, "Surely, I must be seeing things... right?"
"No, you are seeing perfectly fine. Those are indeed Primordial Runes," Zdzislav answered. "The question here is, how can a Demigod absorb Primordial Runes and, more importantly, how is he not dead yet?"
"Zdzislav is right. Why is he still alive? Isn’t it the first cardinal rule that when cultivating the Red Bone Chaos Devouring Art, one must start from Divine Runes and work their way up? How can he start from the Primordial grade?"
Jyoti Lata had bee pale, but almost as if she had fallen in love, she blushed and answered,
"That is because he has invoked the infamous Endless Blood and Bone Sea. The First Ancestor once said that according to the Chaos Ascension King, when one invokes the Endless Blood and Bone Sea, they can absorb runes of any grade to temper their bones, so long as they can prehend that grade of rune."
"So then are you saying this kid’s prehension speed is great enough to prehend Primordial Runes?" Namarie asked, and this time, it was Fiannarel who answered.
"Well, my little brother could prehend Celestial-grade techniques to perfection by merely looking at them, so I think he is more than qualified to prehend Primordial Runes."
"So what does this mean?" Tumenk asked, wondering if everything that was happening was real or merely an illusion. He even suspected that Zdzislav had cast an illusion on them just to mess with them.
However, seeing everyone there, including Zdzislav, with constantly changing expressions, he knew this was the real deal, so he asked, knowing that every technique left behind by the Chaos Ascension King had different levels depending on one’s talent.
"The First Ancestor said that when it es to the first form of the Red Bone Chaos Devouring Art, there are seven levels of bone tempering. The first is the Golden Blood Demon Bones. The second is the Diamond Blood Demon Bones. The third is the Void Devouring Demon Bones.
That is where most people in my tribe stop before moving on to the second form of the technique.
However, some have managed to reach the Chaos Sovereign Bones, while I reached the Primordial Origin Bones. Beyond the fifth stage lies the Eternal Devouring Bones, which only those who have invoked the Blood River and Bone Grave can attain.
The First, Second, and Fourth Ancestors all reached that stage. However, for the final stage, only the Endless Blood and Bone Sea can help one achieve it, and that stage is known as the Chaos Ascension Emperor Bones.
If Kent has truly invoked it, then maybe we should all start packing our things because we will soon be leaving this world."
Jyoti Lata laughed, and Fiannarel laughed with her.
"Jyoti Lata is right. We are going home because my baby brother will be taking us with him."
