Chapter 433: Escape
Chapter 433: Escape
Cain’s body abruptly disappeared, teleporting in an entirely new direction. His direction tore him hundreds of miles towards the right side of the Lake of Stars.
Such an abrupt shift in movement would be hard to follow for even a Divine Ruler master. Their level of Spiritual Sea couldn’t possibly begin to comprehend instantaneous shifts.
The creature, even for its all strangeness and high prowess, was no different. Its detection range couldn’t dream of catching Cain.
However, the creature wasn’t perturbed in the slightest. For a very brief moment, the creature came to a screeching stop. Random parts of its body began to twitch without seemingly any order or pattern. During this strange process, one can see energy ripples tearing through the water.
These ripples quite literally cracked apart space, being entirely superior to mere shock waves from energy attacks. Indeed, these ripples were pulsation of the creature manipulating the World Source Laws around it!
Half a moment later, the creature’s charred body took a sharp shift around to its right side, as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
With one movement, the creature disappeared, propelling itself forward through World Source Laws.
That one move allowed the creature to instantaneously catch up to Cain’s position!
However, when the creature reappeared out of the Void Space, an immediate sense of tremendous danger rattled its very soul!
The hallowed creature couldn’t properly display emotions, but its body still recoil in sudden horror.
In that moment, faint flickers of gray lights spewed from the creature’s hollowed eye sockets. For the first time it had burst from the ground, the creature finally decided to utilize the power fused within its ruined body.
The creature’s body began to shift, attempting to hurry far away from this apparent death trap.
But when beginning to shift the surrounding Laws, an unbelievable pressure completely engulfed the creature’s entire body!
In an instant, its movement turned incredibly sluggish, to a snail-like crawl.
Under this state, it was simply impossible for the creature to tear through the Void Space.
At the same time, Cain stood a few meters in front of the creature, his body frozen like a statue. He evidently couldn’t resist the pressure just with his base cultivation.
But His attention wasn’t even on the pressure nor the creature at this moment.
Down below took all of Cain’s focus.
A faint glow, one that would be tricky to see with untrained eyes, just barely glistened for Cain’s vision.
With Chaos energy flowing into his eyes, Cain searched through the misty darkness and witness a strange gleaming marking covering a part of the ocean floor.
The gleaming marking was drawn in a circular pattern, almost like a transmission array. Various art and runes that Cain couldn’t possibly understand were carved along the circular markings.
Unending power billowed out of the gleaming marking, creating a formless pressure that engulfed everything for several miles.
In this brief split moment, Cain Chaos sense attempted to perceive the sensations within the markings.
Upon doing so, Cain’s expression twisted in pain.
The circular rune briefly glowed a bright, divine light. Though it only lasted for a second, any Great Divine Sea cultivator would have their visions blinded by the intense light!
In a sense, Cain could be counted lucky that his eyes closed from a sudden invasion of pain. Although, such pain was nearly unbearable for him.
A headache started to quickly emerge, one that pounded Cain’s head to a distracting degree. It felt as if someone very powerful was smashing numerous stones upon his head.
Cain couldn’t even see, sense, or hear what struck him. The attack came instantaneously the very moment his Chaos sense simply brushed against the center of the rune marking.
Whatever this power has surpassed all manners of reason and logic. Only a high realm Spiritual Sea could even attempt to make sense of this.
Above all, this mysterious power felt directly superior to any Martial Dao Law Cain had ever sensed before!
Cain had to instantly recall his Chaos sense just to keep his Spiritual Sea from breaking apart. Promptly afterward, he tried to summon soul energy to revolve his Chaos energy to the absolute limit.
But the pressure covering him and the creature suddenly intensified!
“This-!” Cain and the hallowed creature’s soul screeched for them to get as far away as possible from here.
It was finally at this moment that both existences who barely panics at all finally became horrified. For a complete single second, the power pressure completely froze every part of their entire being.
Neither of them could utilize their Spiritual Sea at all. Because of it, neither of them could operate any thoughts to move any speck of energy within their bodies!
A blinding green flash covered the whole area. The rune markings intensely quivered before bursting out streaks of gleaming streaks of lights.
The streaks of lights transformed, morphing into terrifying energy chains that each overflow with unbearable killing intent. These energy chains continued to soar forth with unbelievable speed!
Such speeds were utterly incomprehensible to Cain’s Spiritual Sea. They might as well be invisible to him as they soared at seeming light speeds!
‘Chi!’
Flesh and blood rippled through the Lake of Stars. Bits of pieces coming from both regular flesh and charred flesh, the blood a mix of both grayish-red and pitch-black red.
Cain and the hallowed creature’s eyes nearly bugged out of their sockets. Several energy chains easily penetrated right through innate defenses like it was nothing but fragile glass. Their bodies were pierced into without a hint of resistance.
The hallowed creature specifically had energy chains piercing right through his body like it was swiss cheese.
Just having woken up quite literally minutes ago, of course, its defenses were at their absolute lowest. Against a decently powerful attack, it had zero chances to resist.
Whereas Cain had managed to just barely stop the energy chains from completely shredding through his body. The pain was absolute hell, but it was better than getting pierced through like the hallowed creature.
Truthfully, Cain felt a mixture of horror and confusion. This had to be the worst injury he experienced since coming to the God Galaxy!
Even more so, Cain detected that the energy chains were slowly but surely draining his life essence away!
Immobilize by the unfathomable power pressure, if he stayed like this, then it won’t be long until his life was completely snuffed out.
This had to be the pressuring moment Cain had ever experienced, by far. Just a single slip up and his life will be forfeited forever.
But at the same time, Cain expected him and the hallowed creature to simply explode into blood mist upon first contact with the energy trails.
Considering the power pressure can suppress their entire beings, it would make sense if they died within a single instant.
Yet here they were, only trapped like mere rats.
‘At least…that thing will be trapped like a rat.’ Determination sparked within Cain’s eyes.
Now that the split second of freezing passed, Cain could just barely utilize his Spiritual Sea. The process was agonizing slow compared to his usual speed, but he still managed to scourge up Chaos energy.
Even while in the ocean, Cain could feel cold sweat drenching his body. Ugly stress veins emerged upon him as he desperately utilizes his soul energy to grasp Chaos energy.
One must not forget that Cain was doing this process while still under the hellish pain of the energy chains. Even like this, he could still retain a degree of intent focus. His Divine Will wouldn’t allow him to simply roll over and die without a struggle!
This type of Divine Will could be considered unprecedented. For sure, even a Holy King Divine Will would have greatly crumbled in this situation.
Within a few seconds, glimmers of Chaos energy flashed around Cain’s body. Vibrations started to appear from thin air. The more Chaos energy that emerged, the more intense these vibrations stirred.
The Chaos energy was directly colliding right against the invincible power pressure!
The vibrations began to turn into large cracks like damaged glass. Before long, these cracks completely shattered apart, loudly breaking open as if thousands of shards of glass were combusted all at once!
Something that even the far more powerful hallowed creature was helpless against started to crumble apart against the mysterious principles of Chaos energy.
In this moment, Cain, with only a small portion of control over his body, bit down on his tongue, spurting blood essence that dribbled down his chin and fused into his body.
If Cain was still a human, he would be worried about even utilizing a small portion of his condensed blood essence. His cultivation speed would take a severe drop and his future potential would dim at the permanent loss of blood essence.
But with a Dragon body that has a Divine-ranking bloodline, Cain’s blood essence would naturally grow back all on its own! Provided he only uses a small amount of blood essence, no long-lasting consequences would affect Cain’s cultivation.
Furthermore, the effect of Cain’s blood essence is immensely boosted by the various special energies within his bloodlines, such as Chaos energy and the black lighting. These energy sources also made it extremely easy for his blood essence to regenerate.
The fusion of blood essence had instantly aroused Cain’s Chaos energy to its very peak prowess!
‘Ka-Cha!’
Space loudly shattered right in front of Cain. The Void Space had completely opened under the peak power of Chaos energy.
Even though the power pressure likely surpassed even the Holy King realm, it still couldn’t contain the full force of Chaos energy!
Cain’s body flashed a blinding green as he broke through his restraints, streaking straight into the open Void Space.
He completely disappeared from the Lake of Stars.
The hallowed creature couldn’t detect Cain’s aura even hundreds of miles around him.
Left all alone, the hallowed creature stayed immobilized for a few seconds. Its life essence was depleting faster than Cain’s.
But just when it seemed like the creature would assuredly die from the trap, its body suddenly twitched.
It’s burnt to a crisp hand slowly moved towards a single energy chain…
