Chapter 429: Three Finally Fell
Chapter 429: Three Finally Fell
‘Damnit! Damnit! What shit luck!’ Zi Yan couldn’t help but lament his fate.
At this point, he still didn’t even see what powerful freak was unleashing this unrelenting assault. All he had was the assurance that this was a Divine Origin cultivator and most likely that freakish genius ‘Lee.’
Lack of knowing who was even suppressing him so ruthlessly only made the feeling of looming death that more suffocating. As a Divine Star genius, he was completely unwilling to simply be put down like a dead dog!
An insane glint suddenly crossed Zi Yan’s eyes. In an instant, Zi Yan fiercely stabbed his Quasi-Saint sword deep into the ground. Even with his weakened prowess, the ground still imploded beneath this booming force, destroying everything around Zi Yan.
But no matter the destruction, the Quasi-Saint sword had stayed completely embedded into the ground.
A black mist suddenly streamed out of the Quasi-Saint sword. The Law runs on Zi Yan’s demonic arm violently squirmed. As Zi Yan’s demonic energy and Sword Law essence fused together, it poured into the ground, flowing right through the Quasi-Saint sword.
At that moment, if one were to look hard enough, one would be able to witness small specks of blue lights rising from the ground and into Zi Yan’s body!
‘Hm?’ At this time, Cain quirked his brows, a slightly more serious look crossing his face. His eyes narrowed as his vision penetrated through Zi Yan’s generated mist, observing the odd phenomena he whipped. Nothing in his action showed any weariness or desperate struggle.
Compared to Zi Yan, Cain only needed a second to regain his bearing. Using lightning domain wave did cause his energy reserves to directly drop by 15%. It was especially surprising considering nearly all of other Cain’s moves barely drained his energy reserves.
Still, with only this much, Cain had no problem suppressing peak power of a Middle Divine Star expert. And now it appears he drove Zi Yan to a crazed limit.
Cain detected that Zi Yan’s power did begin to rapidly rise within only a moment. But at the same time, his life aura was becoming greatly unstable.
His attempt to draw power directly from the Divine Essence of the Heaven and Earth certainly is a power move. The natural environment is practically an infinite supply of powerful energy.
However, it was impossible for a Divine Star expert’s body to withstand the chaotic principles within the Divine Essence.
After all, when calmly cultivating, any cultivator would filter out the chaotic properties within Divine Essence so that their Inner World would remain stable.
No matter how powerful the chaotic properties are, without sufficient Spiritual Sea comprehension and the appropriate Divine body, it would be impossible to do anything that wasn’t unharmful.
If Zi Yan continue, there would be no doubt that this will severely harm his future cultivation growth.
A thought streaked through Cain’s mind. While he couldn’t put any actual care into his enemy, it didn’t mean he couldn’t find better uses for them. With a plan in mind, a devious grin crossed his face.
In a split moment, Cain’s eyes flashed with a sparkle of green, his Chaos soul sense marking Zi Yan’s aura.
With an invisible step forward, Cain tore right through Void Space, teleporting directly behind Zi Yan!
By the time Cain appeared, the shock waves finally cleared out. The grayish mist had intensified, but Cain’s Chaos-enhanced vision had zero trouble seeing through it.
Zi Yan’s body suddenly quivered. He couldn’t turn around, nor could he fully comprehend it. But his soul wildly pulsated in waking fear. Immense danger was right upon him and yet Zi Yan’s Spiritual Sea just couldn’t keep with instantaneous movement.
Without giving Zi Yan a second to think, Cain swung his fist straight at Zi Yan’s chest, a miniature Draconinc Lightning Claw forming around his palm.
The miniature Draconinc Lightning Claw shredded the sword mist into tiny particles. Lightning couldn’t be stopped as it then dispersed all the growing power from the Heaven and Earth!
That attack alone made Zi Yan’s body painfully shudder. With his art finally dispersed, a great black lash spread across Zi Yan’s internal body.
His defenses nearly collapsed altogether. Weak and helpless, nothing could stop the Draconic Lightning Claw’s brutal path.
‘Chi!’
The Draconic lightning claw brutally tore through Zi Yan’s divine body. It punctured straight through his lung and tore out the right side of his chest.
Blood wildly sprayed as Zi Yan’s body spasmed. Draconic Lightning’s essence suppressed the entirety of his internal body.
He could no longer summon any more Inner World power. His life aura quickly slipped away but an injury like this wasn’t enough to kill him.
If Cain wanted to, he could simply overload Zi Yan’s internal body with Draconic Lightning essence and burst his body apart.
However, Cain had a different plan for this minion.
“Wh-why…just kill…me…” Zi Yan struggled to speak. Each breath he took spewed more blood from his mouth.
The amount of pain he was enduring was utterly agonizing, made worse by the rampaging lightning essence within his internal body.
Cain didn’t respond to him. His other palm landed upon Zi Yan’s head, a more grayish glow shrouding around it.
Slave Law Mark essence poured through Cain’s palm and into Zi Yan’s head. Just like with Peng Fu, Cain smoothly controlled the Slave Law essence towards Zi Yan’s soul’s core.
Small specks of his soul energy split off to also disperse the remaining chaotic Divine Essence within Zi Yan’s internal body. His cultivation will certainly be slower in the future, but at least he would still be able to advance.
It might seem like Cain was doing much for a foe he was just trying to kill. But Cain realizes there were better alternatives than simply killing.
After gaining control of Peng Fu, Cain had actually found the value of enslaving minions like this. At the very least, he won’t be in the dark about plans.
Furthermore, people like this could have their uses in other situations. Especially if he or Amber needed certain Inner World resources, they don’t have the time to gather.
In just a moment, Zi Yan’s weakened soul’s core was engulfed and fused with Cain’s Slave Law essence.
Only a few seconds passed until Zi Yan’s eyes turned vacant to a similar state as Peng Fu’s. He is now only filled with utter devotion towards Cain.
Smiling to himself, Cain pulled away his hands, letting Zi Yan’s body slump to the ground.
Cain then tossed a True Spirit healing pill into Zi Yan’s mouth, combusting with just a thought from him.
The light started to rapidly return to Zi Yan’s eyes. He quickly assimilated into a cultivation state, revolving the healing energy to revert his injuries.
At this moment, a powerful pulse of Spirit energy ranged Cain’s Divine Sense, and a dazzling red glow streaked within his vision.
He turned over to see that both Shi Cai and Xie Mei were now entrapped in endless red Spirit energy webs.
“D-Damn…what is this…” “I-I can’t break free….” Shi Cai and Xie Mei groaned in agony.
The duo didn’t even make any attempt to struggle out of the Spirit webs. Cain’s previous powerful attacks had done significant damage to them. Invading Chaos energy force smashed parts of their internal world and directly suppressed 80% of their Inner World power!
Under this state, the duo was more weakened than Peng Fu. Amber had zero trouble trapping them like helpless chickens.
On the sidelines, Amber sat in a cultivation state. Her expression was calm as she had a hand extended out, each fingertip of her spewing out several red Spirit energy webs.
When Cain finally noticed her, Amber’s lips curled into a smirk. She jested to him, “Sorry Cain. You’ll have to excuse my more anti-climactic way of fighting. Though it’s not like you really left them in any condition to fight after those attacks. Seriously, you’re just growing too powerful.”
“The more powerful I am, the better we can survive.” Cain casually shrugged as he walked over to the held captives.
Standing in front of once almighty Divine Star experts, Cain casually swept his gaze over them, as if he was only appraising a pair of mortal workers.
Such a look left Shi Cai and Xei Mei feeling extremely complex. But within that split moment, they suddenly realized what Amber said. Their expressions twisted even more, but they only managed to breathe out.
“You-you…Cai-”
Before they could finish, Cain slapped his palm upon their heads. Slave Law Mark essence directly flowed into their heads, through their internal bodies, and into their soul’s core space.
Small beads of sweat dripped down Cain’s forehead as he reached their souls.
Doing two at once was a considerable task for Cain. The drain on his soul energy went down at a noticeable rate by his standards.
However, for a great genius, their energy reserves may not be able to tank this kind of drainage of soul energy.
Because his own overall prowess is far superior and with the unbeatable application of Chaos energy, Cain had a smooth time fusing Slave Law Mark’s essence into their soul’s core.
At this time, Shi Cai and Xei Mei’s eyes were wide in complete, utter horror. They knew exactly what Cain was attempting, yet they were so utterly helpless to stop it.
They had one last free thought.
Lord Wen Sha had provoked unbeatable demonic geniuses!
As this thought slipped away, Shi Cai and Xei Mei’s bodies suddenly stiffened up. Their once clear eyes turned vacant, with only complete devotion to Cain.
Seeing that the results were a success, Cain smiled in satisfaction, pulled his hands away, and nodded at Amber.
Three Divine Star geniuses had fallen right into their hands.
