Chapter 313: Ice Princess
Chapter 313: Ice Princess
At this time, on the battle stage, Cain stood among the rising cheers, and frantic emotions, silently without an outward change of emotions.
His gaze primarily focused on the unconscious Huang Lulong.
A pool of blood leaked from under Huang Lulong. His pupils were gone, and the sight of his caved-in chest was genuinely gruesome.
But he still had an unmistakable aura of life leaking out of him.
Naturally, Cain held back on his final attack less he wanted to utterly ruin his public image. No matter if he was the prince and protected by Shi Wei, randomly killing even a lower-ranking clansman, would induce more fear than hope.
The Huang Dragon Elders’ response towards the after battle was prompt.
A shadow Cain couldn’t possibly detect took Huang Lulong from his sight.
With Huang Lulong taken for medical treatment, Cain reflected back on his battle. His emotion was in an actual state of exciting upheaval.
He had never experienced such a fulfilling battle before!
Although the duel was short, Cain actually needed to use his full power at all times. Otherwise, he would have struggled a lot harder against a genius 1stfall Divine Origin expert.
The duel lasted for all several minutes.
For even a genius like Huang Lulong, he was running low on his energies reserves capacity in no time at all from continually using his full strength.
Cain estimated Huang Lulong to be at least a top-tier 1stfall Divine Origin expert or even close to the peak of this stage.
Huang Lulong’s foundation is considerably deep, far beyond any average 1stfall Divine Origin expert. This would also mean his energies reserves capacity hugely increased from an average expert.
And yet, he was struggling to match Cain’s onslaught of full-strength attacks.
In many eyes, this way of battling would be far too reckless.
If one couldn’t quickly defeat their opponents or at least majorly suppress them, they would fall into a dangerous position within several moves.
Cain, however, didn’t experience such disadvantages. Even after continuous full-power moves, his energies reserves capacity on all fronts is still at 90%!
Breakthrough after breakthrough, Cain’s foundation, whether it is his dantian or Spiritual Sea, continued to deepen.
This caused his attainment levels on the Heaven and Earth path, Source Law path, and Origin Spirit Law path to increase.
From this, all of his energies increased in their power density. His Spiritual Sea comprehension turned quicker and his energies reserves capacity massively expanded.
The results of his higher energies reserves capacity could be directly seen from his dantian’s Sky Sage Mist. It had increased to thousands of miles!
However, not all of these feats can be only attributed to Cain’s immense potential.
In fact, there was a massively crucial factor that allowed Cain to reach Divine Mortal level of prowess.
That is Nightmare Lord’s accumulated Heavenly energy.
Heavenly energy was a mix of Nightmare Lord’s Heavenly Venerate essence, Law Source essence, and thousands of years of 100% pure Heaven and Earth’s Divine Essence.
All of these aspects formulated into Nightmare Lord’s Dao Diagram, creating an ultimate resource that far surpassed even peak Heavenly Great World’s best cultivation havens.
Furthermore, Cain was able to have Heavenly energy perfectly fuse into his entire being.
It wasn’t just a simple matter of energy absorption in which most of the essence is filtered out to adjust to one’s bodily state.
But rather, Cain’s entire being fully fused with the sliver of the essence of a grand Heavenly Venerate!
Heavenly Venerate, a legendary figure who stands near the summit of the Divine Boundless Heaven, their prowess is utterly unfathomable.
The amplification Cain received towards his whole cultivation was at depths that not even Shi Wei could clearly inspect.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Cain had obtained a once-in-a-million lucky chance.
And this also extends to Kali and Amber in their own unique ways.
Cain’s lips curled in gradual anticipation. His eyes looked through the crowds, locking on to a specific spot.
‘Alright, sis. Let’s see how you can match me…’
….
A short moment quickly passed over.
The battle stage of Cain’s previous battle wasn’t emptied out. In fact, everyone still stayed and had great anticipation swirling within their fervent gazes.
The high of Cain’s battle couldn’t be washed over. And it poured into the proceeding royal descendent child coming on stage to fight.
As of now, expectations shot through the roof!
Groups, no matter the younger generation or seniority, was vigorously awaiting the princess’s performance.
“The sixth princess is always hanging around the seventh prince. She must be as equally special! I don’t know what to expect for this duel!”
“Supreme Ancestor closely nurtured the sixth princess as well. Her talent was already showcased to be unfathomable, so her prowess can be as well.”
“Could this be? Could we really see another Divine Mortal?!”
Two Divine Mortals in the same Holy Land force.
Just what kind of concept is that?
It is commonly spread knowledge that great Divine Mortal geniuses primarily hail from top-tier Heavenly Great Worlds.
But even then, it would be an extremely rare occurrence for a Heavenly Great World to have two Divine Mortals at the same time.
The rarity of just one Divine Mortal is at least a one in a million chance, practically asking for a miracle.
Two would be asking for an impossible miracle!
However, the Huang Dragons have such wild hopes.
How could they not have unreasonable expectations?
Cain’s performance was too awe-inspiring.
Somebody who is virtually always related to him must be equally special or at least just slightly lacking behind him.
Before Kali even fought, the excitement for her battle surpassed what was felt during Cain’s pre-battle.
The other royal descendants and Huang Zilong watched on with rapt attention, their mood completely serious this time.
Huang Laolong and Song Lin gazed downwards with complex emotions.
The other Huang Dragon Ancestors, the Dragon Emperor and the Dragon empress, hidden in various places in the skies, had similarly chaotic feelings storming their souls as they mentally prepared for the next match.
And soon enough, two figures appeared on the battle stage, causing the surrounding audience to chaotically erupt.
One of them was a young man who had a more effeminate appearance.
His presence was gentle, exuding the vibe of one who’s in tune with the beauty of nature.
Although, on this young man’s face, he dawned an uncharacteristic serious expression in contrast to his usual peaceful smile.
He was Huang Tan, a 1stfall Divine Origin expert on the exact same level as Huang Lulong.
And across from him was the most significant challenge he would ever experience in his lifetime.
A beautiful young woman who nearly represents a maiden of ice stood a mile across from him.
She stood tall with an overflowing sense of pride. Her eyes were a mix of an abyss-deep black and glowing crystal blue that spewed an ominous chill.
Her face really was as captivating as a snow-white angel, but her ice-cold expression would freeze any mortal person’s blood cold.
Luminous long blue hair flowed down to her waist like a sparkling waterfall.
This ice-maiden appearance caused a visible stir within the audience.
“Compared to the seventh prince, the sixth princess changed so much! Her gaze, even from over here, is making me shiver.”
“She looks just as confident as the seventh prince. Perhaps even more so! I almost feel sorry for Tan.”
“Tan is a genius on Lulong level and uses Grass Laws. But, I have a bad feeling for him….”
A sense of mystery and intrigue came from Cain. It made one want to learn more about that calm young man.
While a sense of enthrallment exuded from Kali’s natural aura.
It was as if wanting to follow behind her, obeying all of her orders, was a natural law in the world. Her icy gaze left no room for discussion, only absolute obedience.
Many were already impressed.
This seemed like a temperament a Divine Mortal genius should have!
On the battle stage, Huang Tan suppressed all of his crippling nerves, bowed his head, and said, “Sixth Princess. Please advise.”
Kali only gave a slight nod of acknowledgment before saying, “Ready, grandmother?”
Dead stifling silence filled the coliseum for a brief moment.
Tension rose to the starry skies.
Then, Shi Wei’s melodic voice echoed out for miles.
“Begin!”
Kali’s pupils instantly exploded with brilliant icy blue lights. Her whole aura erupted like a cold nuke!
‘Draconic Ice Aura!’
‘Soul Form!’
‘Bang!’
Ice essence discharged from Kali, rapidly infusing into the atmosphere to bring the temperature down to absolute zero.
Kali’s pupils became beautiful Dragon silts. A sparkling blue Ice energy aura shrouded her body, and her gorgeous Ice Draconic Wings tore out from her back.
Kali instantly released her full strength, her aura erupting to unfathomable levels! Her aura washed over the whole coliseum.
Peak Mortals cultivators were shivering.
1stfall Divine Origin experts needed to slightly revolve their Inner World, and even 2ndfall Divine Origin experts were breathing out frost breaths.
Massive shock exploded within the whole audience. In everyone’s minds, one single thought arouses.
Is this really Ice Laws from a Sky Sage?!?
Kali’s Law essence was even more shocking than Cain’s overwhelming Lightning Law essence!
‘Of course, of course!!’ Huang Tan was inwardly shrieking. He felt as if he was suddenly dropped into a vat of the most horrifying ice in the world, his body continually quivering like it was on the verge of collapsing.
Huang Tan expected the unexpected. But apparently, the sixth princess is just another freak of Martial cultivation!
A tremendous pressure completely suffocated Huang Tan. He felt utterly constricted, leaving him with no choice but to match Kali’s pace.
With a warring shout, Huang Tan erupted his Inner World!
‘Flowers of Divinity!’
He revolves his Flowers of Divinity art, surging both his Divine Qi and Divine Grass Source Law essence to its peak capacity.
Both his Divine Origin Marks and Grass Law Marks pulsated like rapidly beating hearts.
A beautiful green flower formed out of the top of his head as a green energy aura shrouded his body.
This was Huang Tan’s full power state. His powerful Divine aura swept out, violently clashing against Kali’s Ice aura.
But all in an instant, crystal blue sparks appeared and stayed in the air.
These crystal blue sparks were the result of Kali’s Ice aura completely suppressing Huang Tan’s Divine aura!
