Chapter 401: Smashed
Chapter 401: Smashed
The whole surrounding audience intently watched Cain. He appeared to have the advantage of not combusting his blood essence.
But with 5 full-power strikes beyond Luo Shi’s normal peak limits, can he really deal it?
The mere energy waves it exuded as far too powerful. If not for the Spirit barrier already cast down before the match even started, numerous Early Great Divine Sea warriors would already collapse under this pressure.
In the face of this strike, Cain’s expression was a mix of excitement and simmering rage. This power was certainly worthy of a 5thfall Great Divine Sea expert.
But at the same time, a mere human like this wasn’t worthy of using the image of a Dragon!
Cain’s Dragon pride hidden deep within his soul frantically emerged like a rising tide. He wanted to smash this pathetic human into bits!
A glow flashed within Cain’s hand as his Spiral Swod appeared.
Raising his Spiral Sword to the heavens, a beam of Draconic Lightning essence burst out of the tip. The Draconic Lightning essence flew higher than the black essence Dragons wielding sword, to the point it seemed like the whole sky was covered by lightning.
In that instant, the Draconic essence beam transformed into a massive Lightning Claw that extended over 300 meters long!
The power of Divine Lightning Laws suppressed the whole atmosphere. It utterly shredded the momentum of Luo Shi’s Dragon Sword Spirals.
Swinging his Spiral Sword down, the massive Lightning Claw crushed down straight at Luo Shi.
“Noo!!” Luo Shi’s eyes finally cracked open in horror.
He frantically punched his chest, spitting out more blood essence that sprayed on his True Spirit Sword to raise his Divine Sword Law power. The power it now exuded even made the peak Great Divine Sea watching feel pressure within their chests.
But no matter how much it increased, it was all useless!
Cain’s amplification from Chaos Spirit Force and Draconic Lightning Aura could not be stopped by a mere Late Great Divine Sea with peak stage prowess.
At the 3rdfall stage, he already surpassed Middle Great Divine Sea. And now, with 5thfall stage of cultivation and reaching the peak of the 2nd layer of Chaos energy, the density, thickness, and intensity of Cain’s Divine Qi and Divine Laws amplified by degrees beyond all common sense!
Even at just half his power, it was too overwhelming for Luo Shi.
‘Bang!!!’
With a thunderous boom, the Lightning Claw smashed the 5 Dragon wielding sword into smithereens.
Terrifying energy shock waves exploded out and smashed upon the Spirit barrier, causing it to brightly light up.
The Lightning Claw continued unhindered, mashing down on Luo Shi like an attack from the heavens.
The whole battle arena trembled violently. Cracks in space appeared, and parts of the stage fissured. It felt as if an intense earthquake shook the whole battle coliseum.
The light from the protecting Spirit barrier was far too intense, causing everyone to shut their eyes.
When the flash cleared away, all in the audience opened their eyes to an unforgettable scene.
A 300 feet crater was made within the battle stage. Inside the crater were only bits of fried flesh of what once remained of Luo Shi.
In only three strikes, a Great Divine Sea genius whose prowess neared Extreme Great Divine Sea was smashed into bits and pieces.
Horrifying silence stifled the atmosphere. The silence soon turned into terrified shock a moment later.
“He-he…he really is the real deal!! This genius…it has to be Emperor tier genius prowess!”
“Not only that, he utterly killed Luo Shi, even with his blood essence. He couldn’t escape at all…”
Not many took that much notice of Luo Shi’s death. Death was actually a common thing in the battle arena.
Everyone comes from the same faction background, meaning it was impossible for some higher power to take revenge on a slain foe.
What truly horrified everyone was Cain’s complete decimation of a Late Great Divine Sea warrior.
One must know that Great Divine Sea warriors are far trickier to kill than a Divine Origin warrior. The Divine Laws within their Inner World can act as both great striking power and traveling speed.
Through the sheer strength of Divine Laws, it’s completely possible for a Great Divine Sea warrior to distort space and, upon the distortion, treading away instantaneously. This ability has no combat strength. But it was perfect to escape perilous situations.
The only foolproof way to stop this was to simply overwhelm that Great Divine Sea warrior by a tremendous margin.
At this point, many wonder if they can even count Cain as simply a genius with Late Great Divine Sea prowess.
Everyone could clearly detect that near the end, Luo Shi’s power neared the Extreme Great Divine Sea. His thick energies caused many Peak Great Divine Sea to feel suffocated.
Yet, even with this, Luo Shi was flattened into meat paste. There was no other explanation other than that Cain’s true prowess lies at least around Peak Great Divine Sea.
That realization didn’t sit right with numerous other Peak Great Divine Sea cultivators.
One trio of Peak Stages specifically felt immensely disgruntled.
Guo Qing, Dai Jia, and Lin Ya all had completely bewildered expressions. Not long ago, they swagger about the duo, blatantly disdaining.
None of them truly believed he could pull it off. And even if he could fight with Great Divine Seas, the trio thought it would only be an ordinary Early Stage.
Not a Latte Stage genius who can equally match each of them!
Guo Qing subconsciously wiped the cold sweat dripping down his brows. His expression soon turned sour. “To think we were yammering on about forming connections with them. After this, even young master Pue will need to tread lightly around him. No wonder his confidence seemed as high as the heaven.”
Lin Ya gave a great big sigh while rapidly shaking her head. “Absolute freak. Just who is this guy? Where could he possibly come from? And why even chose our family? Haah…This really is a mess of a situation. If his cultivation increase more…wouldn’t it be possible for him to really challenge the top?”
“At this point, it’s very likely.” Dai Jia scratched his long hair in slight confusion. “I mean, when this gets out, what are the other young masters going to do? Suppress him? That’s impossible. In fact, the Family head might even give young master Ping more rewards for finding such an amazing talent. I think, from now on, we should limit our contact. Less, we become another stepping stone for him.”
Nobody wants to be a stepping stone for others. Especially when it comes at the cost of actually dying!
In the midst of Guo Qing’s chaotic thoughts, he suddenly muttered, “About this…there was a woman latching on his side, right? They both said they were going to fight. So I wonder if…”
At this time, over at the bloodline descendent area, Zhou Ping still relaxed comfortably in his seat with the same causal smile.
All the while, Zhou Pei couldn’t take his eyes off the battle stage. Just like Zhou Ping told him, everything suddenly made sense after the battle.
This wasn’t cheats, items, or some kind of trick. All that Cain used was pure internal power!
A cold feeling swept through Zhou Pei. For several years, he felt so comfortable in his ranking position. None of his other siblings were able to find any outrageous talent that can defy the heavens. Nor did any of his other siblings tremendously increase their base cultivation to an overwhelming point.
Everything had stayed in the same status quo without any sign of change.
But as of right now, with just one battle, it shook Zhou Pei to his very core!
Since Cain could have this kind of extreme prowess only with Divine Origin cultivation, then how much stronger will he be at the Great Divine Sea realm?
Not only his ranking, but even the top 4 other bloodline descendants’ rankings is also in potential jeopardy because of Cain.
All these thoughts quickly flashed through Zhou Pei’s mind. His eyes closed to process everything. A moment later, his expression cleared to a more reasonable calm.
He opened his mouth to only say, “I’m not sure what kind of dog shit luck you stepped in to have this kind of person under you, but even with this, don’t get complacent. Who knows? Anything can happen in the future.”
“That’s indeed true. However, I still have great faith in my allies’ abilities. And this isn’t even the end. Sir Lee’s wife, Miss Xun, still has to fight.” Zhou Ping causally shrugged.
Zhou Pei didn’t speak further, only coldly grunting in slight displeasure. His front may appear strong, but the storms swirling inside his mind weren’t small at all.
On the battle stage, Cain was completely calm about everything. Just relying on the amplified thickness and density provided by the Chaos Spirit Force and Draconic Lightning Aura really was enough to roll over his problems.
At this point, Cain started to truly wonder if the Draconic Lightning Art was merely just a 1st grade Divine Art. It seems far more potent than other 1st grades Divine Arts.
But at the same time, Cain knows his prowess can still be so much more.
Peak 2nd layer of Chaos energy crazily amplified his energy beyond all limits. And the 2nd level of the Draconic Lightning Art also caused a great boost for his Draconic Lightning essence.
If he were to increase his comprehension of Chaos energy, Draconic Lightning Arts, his soul, and his own bloodline, Cain didn’t doubt he could become a young walking god very quickly!
A fiery determination blazed within his mind. He was set off for another round of long cultivation.
But before he left, Cain spoke up to the rowdy audience. His voice was booming, clear, and powerful. It rattled weaker cultivators’ eardrums and slightly dazed the minds of others.
“To avoid any future confusion, I will say that my wife, Xun, has similar powers. She is more than prepared to face any Middle Great Divine Sea warrior.”
With his piece said, Cain flew out of the battle stage.
