Chapter 363: Three Against One
Chapter 363: Three Against One
At this moment, Liao Wu’s carefree smile blossoms as he held a small cosmo sack. A potent amount of essence rippled out of the sack and into Liao Wu’s Divine Sense.
Liao Wu’s glee couldn’t be contained. He spoke without turning back, “I can detect four Middle-tier crystals within here! Our luck really is turning around here. And you two were overly worried about this place.”
Huo Lei and Lian wryly smiled.
Huo Lei shrugged, saying, “If we didn’t have high combat prowess, we would be corpses for coming here. Still, these gains really are great. I hope our luck doesn’t end here and something truly troublesome stops us.”
“Even if something does come, we can handle it.” Liao Wu chuckled with confidence. “Alright, let’s get on-”
Before he could finish, a voice colder than ice loudly reverberated from the ruined walls.
“Four Middle-tier crystals? Those are quite nice. Good thing I came here quickly.”
Cain’s footsteps and voice ranged out as he dispersed his Chaotic Concealment. He slowly walked forward, letting Mid-Stage Sacred Sage aura wash over the whole area.
“Hm?!” The Phoenix disciples instantly swung around. Upon seeing who was walking up to them, their bodies tensed while their eyes filled with vigilance.
That handsome face was recognizable from miles away.
This boy may only be a Mid-Stage Sacred Sage cultivator but neither Liao Wu nor the Huo siblings dared to look underestimate him.
After all, this is the legendary Divine Mortal who could easily make short work of geniuses with 4thfall stage prowess!
The chasm of power Divine Qi holds between the 3rdfall and 4thfall stage was at least a hundred-time difference. And yet, this Divine Mortal treated prowess equal to the 4thfall stage as nothing but child’s play without even using his full powers.
If recalling that wasn’t shocking enough, the Phoenix disciples felt even warier at Cain’s cultivation level. ‘He already broke through?’
The disciples couldn’t tell if Cain had reached Mid Sacred Sage prior to the Sea realm opening or while within it. Even more aggravating was that only his Mortal aura could be identified. It was impossible to tell the level of his dantian foundation.
Many thoughts spawned within the Phoenix disciples’ minds.
Liao Wu took the decisively lead only a moment later. He fearlessly stepped forward, smirking without seemingly a care in the world, directly asking, “So if it isn’t the Huang Dragon’s seventh prince Divine Mortal? I doubt you came to greet us for a friendly chat. So? You saw something that you liked?”
When Liao Wu finished speaking, he and the Huo siblings’ Divine aura subtly leaked out.
The Huo siblings were simply following Liao Wu’s lead. They had reservations about opposing a Divine Mortal, but the confidence Liao Wu displayed gave them an inexplainable backbone.
Liao Wu, on the other hand, seemingly showed zero hesitation in facing off against a Divine Mortal. A faint fiery glow alights within his pupils as if his fighting spirit was ignited.
Cain paid zero attention to the increase of Divine aura. In the back of his mind, no matter how much he toys with these disciples, Sect Master Qiao Tu wouldn’t dare to find trouble with him.
Thus, he simply nodded and said, “So we can do this peacefully. Just hand over that cosmo sack and we all can be on our merry way.”
Cain said all of this as if it were the most natural thing in the world. His momentum made it seem like this was the only option.
“Peacefully hand it over?” Huo Lei and Lian’s complexion gradually turned darker. Even Liao Wu got rid of his carefree smirk, intently narrowing his eyes on Cain with the utmost focus.
Huo Lei spoke with slight caution. “Even as a Divine Mortal, don’t you think you shouldn’t go too far, seventh prince?” Her stance made it clear none would back down.
The Phoenix disciples Divine auras had even superimposed on top of each other, creating a greater invisible pressure.
Cain suddenly smiled under greater pressure. He cracked his knuckles while slowly saying, “Good. None of you disappoint. I’m in need of some good practice.”
In that moment, Cain erupted all of his strongest techniques!
Draconic Lightning Aura, Soul Form, and Chaos Spirit Force!
The ground shook with an ear-shattering bang. A blinding flash of lightning shrouded Cain for only a moment. The flash then cleared away, revealing Cain in his transformed glory.
His energy is amplified by several hundreds of degrees, gaining power that eclipses straight into the Divine realm of cultivation. That power gushed through Cain’s aura.
His overwhelming aura engulfed the surroundings and the Phoenix disciples in a frantic aura hurricane!
Liao Wu and the Huo siblings didn’t hesitate at all. The moment Cain released his prowess, they too erupted the strength within their Inner World, revolved their cultivation arts, and whipped out their True Spirit Swords!
Brilliant flaming lights burst out of the disciples’ bodies before rapidly forming into their crimson fire energy auras.
Liao Wu and the Huo siblings’ Divine auras were at the peak of their whole prowess. None of them dared to hold back when initially perceiving a massive sense of danger.
However, even at this level of power, their Divine auras couldn’t suppress Cain’s.
Rather, Cain’s aura directly matched their combined might! He even felt slightly superior.
Visible sparks of light rays flashed from thin air. In the initial aura collision, nobody could gain an upper hand.
Such a thought slightly horrified the Phoenix disciples.
Before the disciples could even think of their next move, Cain’s eyes sparkled a faint green glow.
Cain took an invisible step forward, his body flashing a faint green as Space Laws collapsed all around him. He teleported right through the Void Space and appeared a foot behind Liao Wu!
Within Cain’s hands was his spiral sword. He thrust it forward, aiming right at Liao Wu’s back at lightning-like speeds.
Liao Wu couldn’t react at all toward sudden teleportation. However, his Phoenix robes suddenly lit up with gleaming purple Spirit energy.
By this time, the spiral sword reached Liao Wu’s back.
‘Ka-Cha!’
The spiral sword smashed apart the gleaming purple Spirit energy, instantly breaking it into light particles!
Purple Spirit energy had enough power to challenge most Divine Origin experts. It was empowered by a small portion of Spirit Law essence and Spirit Law Marks.
Yet, such a defensive treasure was effortlessly destroyed by Cain. Although, it did weaken Cain’s attack by over half.
The remaining energy force traveled in a ray of sword light, tearing through Liao Wu’s protective Divine aura and instantly wreaking havoc within his internal body.
The sudden pain did cause Liao Wu to react. He jumped forward at great speeds, leaping over a thousand meters while surging energy from his Inner World to suppress Cain’s invading sword light.
Cold sweat dripped down Liao Wu’s brows as he flew.
Without this defensive treasure, he would’ve gotten severely injured with just a strike!
Just what kind of horrifying striking power was this?!
At the same time Liao Wu flew, the Huo siblings instantly reacted. They threw caution into the wind, thrusting their True Spirit Swords straight at Cain’s face. Their Inner World poured nearly all of their prowess into this simple attack, using up a considerable portion of their energy reserves.
Space tightened around Cain. His body felt restricted by the Huo siblings’ combined attack.
But this couldn’t alarm Cain. He whipped open his mouth and unleashed a horrifying Dragon roar.
‘Soul Pressure!’
‘Houu~!’
The majesty of a true Draconic might completely engulf the Huo siblings.
Huo Lei and Lian abruptly froze. Their soul’s cover quiver as a burst of fear rush through them. The predator might of a grand true Dragon firmly implanted inside their very beings!
Even their Ancient Phoenix bloodline couldn’t resist the glory of a true Dragon.
From hundreds of meters away, Liao Wu similarly froze right in his step. He wasn’t spared from the domineering might of Cain’s Draconic soul pressure.
It didn’t matter all that each of them was far stronger than Cain’s previous opponents. In terms of soul strength, they’re all far inferior to Cain!
Additionally, his Dragon God bloodline was already pure and had been enhanced by the immense power of Chaos energy.
How could anyone, much less mere Divine Origin geniuses possibly resist this soul pressure?
In this split moment, Cain blasted off towards the skies, tearing right through the ceilings in one single leap. He only flew hundreds of meters above to make sure he can cause as much destructive damage as possible.
Raising his Spiral Sword high, Cain pumped the blade with the energies within his dantian, causing the blade’s Spirit insignia symbols to rapidly pulsate. His prowess soared slightly beyond his ordinary limits.
Flashes of gleaming Draconic Lightning continually discharged from the Spiral Sword.
At the same time, Liao Wu, Huo Lei, and Lian forced down this unbearable soul pressure. They all surged nearly all of their soul energies to break through their restraints.
When they could finally feel themselves, the Phoenix disciples simultaneously bit right down on their tongue, combusting a small portion of their blood essence.
The blood essence sprayed onto their True Spirit Swords, instantly raising their prowess beyond their ordinary limits.
And the immense increase of energy jolted their consciousness awake, completely forcing down the fear from their souls.
The instant they were awake, Huo Lei and Lian shrouded their swords in crimson Phoenix flames, and swiped them up while shouting a mighty battle cry, “Phoenix Break!”
A crimson flaming essence in the shape of a Phoenix rushed from the tip of their blades.
The essence Phoenixes flew at breakneck speeds, instantly charring the whole entire ceiling into ash! Waves of indomitable power gushed out, and a slightly noble presence engulfed the area.
It was almost like a small portion of a noble Phoenix arrived.
At the same time the Huo siblings unleashed their attacks, Liao Wu similarly raised his Ture Spirit Sword at Cain.
And unnoticed by all was a purple talisman in his left hand.
