Chapter 470: Duel Against A Sickly Youth
Chapter 470: Duel Against A Sickly Youth
There was a moment of silence before Cain’s opponent came down. Silent anticipation coursed through everyone within the battle arena.
For Ren Bao, Fan Fu, and Jin Ya, this would be their first time witnessing a prime Holy Land genius in battle. They all had seen Cain and Amber’s recording ring plenty of times before.
But actual in real life experience will be far superior. Each of these geniuses wanted to see the kind of disparity there is between them and these Holy Land geniuses.
Amber honestly couldn’t believe it herself. But she truly couldn’t suppress a slight shiver creeping through her body. She nearly let out a wry smile. It seems that Cain’s influence over her was greater than she thought.
Although, Amber was just slightly more intrigued just to see how Cain will utterly dominate his foe.
Cain himself stayed serenely calm. He already faced half-step Divine Ruler Du Hu before. Another foe on a similar wavelength shouldn’t be too troublesome.
Up in the skies. Elder Heng never bothered to look at Elder Hon, almost treating him like air. But she still spoke out loud, saying, “Really, given your timely arrival. I wonder just who did you pick? Someone you have extremely high faith in, to an impossible degree, I presume.”
Elder Hon calmly smiled. “Ah, you will see for yourself. Here he comes now.”
Immediately, when Elder Hon stopped talking, the sky turned slightly dark. The youths on the ground narrowed their eyes at a rapidly approaching black light.
At this moment, everyone could feel a powerful Divine Aura rippling from the skies.
The aura sensations already made Jin Ya, Fan Fu, and Ren Bao freeze. This was far superior to anything a Divine Star expert can exude. The superior Laws fused in this Divine Aura could already make Jin Ya’s group feel utterly inferior.
Amber slightly narrowed her eyes. Whatever this aura was, it already can easily match Du Hu when she began gathering Inner World power.
Sensing the same level of power as well only fueled Cain’s excitement. He eagerly watched on as the sea of clouds started to split open.
A black light tore out from the split open sea of clouds and it rapidly soar straight down toward the battle arenas.
Upon landing without a sound being made, the black light revealed itself to be a slightly strange-looking youth.
The youth’s body was a bit tall and on the verge of being lanky. He didn’t have the same vigorous vitality as many other Divine cultivators have. In fact, he even looked a bit sickly. His image was actually a bit haunting.
An eerie pale face adorned with a slightly weird smile was enough to send shivers down the weaker cultivator’s spines.
The pale face youth respectfully cupped his fists as he said, “So I’m really sparring with Martial brother Lee! It is an honor.”
For a brief moment, Cain narrowed his eyes. His Chaos sense detected something extremely particular that made his intrigue for this fight go up a bit.
‘Only Late Stage Divine Star and yet…his life aura? It feels far too strange. Almost contaminated? As if he directly fuse with something no other Divine cultivator would dare to try. How interesting.’
Up in the skies, the Holy King masters curiously gazed down at the battle stage.
Elder Heng didn’t even glance back as she plainly said, “So, this is it? That kid Delan? Recalling right, he practices such unorthodox methods, but his strength is undoubtedly high among our Divine Star geniuses. Do you really think that this will work?”
As if he was completely innocent, without a clue in the world, Elder Heng calmly replied. “I have no such clue what are you trying to imply, Elder Heng? This is a simple fair match in which both parties agreed to.”
Not missing a beat, Elder Heng didn’t reply to Elder Hon’s rubbish. Her voice blared out as he declared.
“Begin!”
The instant Elder Heng declared the match, a sudden change shocked nearly everyone present.
An eerie black light illuminated Delan’s eyes, producing glows of darkness that could drown out the sun. One look could make hundreds of mortals instantly blind.
Boundless energy frantically burst out of his Inner World. Streams of this sickly black essence rushed from Delan’s body and soared high into the skies.
All in an instant, Delan’s presence underwent a dramatic shift!
His Divine Laws rippled into the atmosphere, slicing small sections of space with spots of the same black essence.
A foul, violent, almost repugnant aura swept through the battle arena. Such potent Divine Aura filled with foul Divine Laws completely washed over everyone.
“Hm?!”
Not only Cain, but Jin Ya, Ren Bao, Fan Fu, and even Amber were shocked at this immense power surge.
Delan’s Divine Laws’ density and complexity instantly shot through the roof. It rose to the point where both Cain and Amber felt an uncomfortable sensation in their souls.
Jin Ya, Ren Bao, and Fan Fu were worse off. They experienced a terrifying chill gripping their souls.
‘Late Stage? No, peak Stage!’
In less than an instant of a second, Cain made a decision. He could tell this battle needed to be treated far more seriously than others.
Delan’s prowess didn’t stall, but continued to rise. If not careful, this guy can be more troublesome than it’s worth. Cain knows he needs to make this swift!
The Chaos Spirit Force, Draconic Lightning Aura, and the power of his Soul Form violently erupted like exploding volcanos.
Thunderous booms of lightning that could shatter eardrums blared through the battle arena.
Ren Bao, Jin Ya, Fan Fu, and even Amber felt their heartbeat speed up from an greater pressure from Cain.
In his transform state, Cain valiantly stood as a terrifying god of lightning. Compared to his battle with Du Hu, his Draconic Lightning appeared significantly darker.
The darker profundity made both Holy King’s master’s eyes light up.
Cain didn’t waste even a split second. The moment he unleashed all of his powers, the stage trembled beneath him as Cain burst forth like a murderous beast.
Specks of stones flew in the turbulent airwaves and the Laws of Space slightly loosened under Cain’s raging power pressure.
With just a single step, Cain instantly crossed 200 meters, flashing right in front of Delan’s eerie black essence form.
All Cain relied on at this moment was pure overwhelming force. His hands formed into a deadly claw as he viciously struck out toward Delan’s head.
Each of his movements continued to produce earth-shattering booms. One would even be able to faintly hear the sound of small glass shards shattering. Space itself was having trouble retaining Cain’s power.
After reaching 2nd layer of the Draconic Lightning Art, Cain’s prowess dramatically shot up. Now, using it in battle, the difference was clearly evident.
If Du Hu were to face this kind of immense attack, her protective Divine Aura would’ve burst open just from the powerful winds released from Cain’s movement!
However, Delan wasn’t on the same level as Du Hu. They simply couldn’t be compared at all.
Delan’s Inner World energy revolved as his Spiritual Sea could just barely react. His own hands also formed into claws, but he roared out at the same time.
? “Chains of Demon!”
Unleashing a martial skill, Delan’s Demonic Law essence intensifies around his hands. Chains instantly swirled around his claw-like hands as he fearlessly thrust them toward Cain’s lightning claw hands!
‘Bang!’
A crushing impact, one that sounded like nukes exploding, rattled the battle stage.
The energy collision was overwhelming. Flashes of lightning lights and black lights fought for complete dominance. It was a clash for whose raw power was higher and higher Law principles complexity.
Just this strike alone nearly took Jin Ya, Fan Fu, and Ren Bao’s breath away.
But only a mere second later, a change began to occur.
The black lights started to dim near instantaneously. All raging Demonic essence rapidly flickered from the atmosphere.
Overpowering the Demonic essence were near blinding blue lights. Draconic Lightning essence reigned supreme and overwhelmed everything.
In an instant, a bright flash of Draconic Lightning completely overwhelmed everyone’s vision!
In this first exchange, Cain’s Draconic Lightning completely suppressed the Demonic Law essence.
Cain’s lightning-claw-like hands effortlessly shattered Delan’s protective Divine Aura and violently struck his body.
Delan was sent flying like a withered leaf in the wind. Faint traces of blood could be seen spewing from his body. But oddly enough, not a single groan could be heard from Delan.
Typically, Cain would use this time to pursue his foe. But his brows furrowed as he felt a crushing weight tying down on his hands.
Glancing down, he was a bit shocked to see black essence chains curled around his palms. These essence chains burrowed deep into the battle stage in an attempt to keep Cain stalled in place.
Cain could even detect the Space Laws around him just slightly locking up in order to secure his binding.
Naturally, a level of this attack couldn’t bother Cain at all. He would be able to and was about to break out with overwhelming strength.
However, he still needed to take a second to do so.
And in this span of a short second, Delan had already recovered. His hands were completely bloodied and scarred to the point his skin ripped off, revealing the horrifying sight of his flesh.
Draconic Lightning’s essence rampaged through his internal body in an attempt to suppress his Inner World. The pain was frightening. Delan couldn’t completely ignore it, and others in his position would barely have the ability to stand.
And yet, Delan still stood tall.
Despite how much he felt, the pain and suppression couldn’t disrupt Delan’s mind. His eyes flashed with utter insanity as the power within his bloodline completely erupted!
A pillar of Demonic Law essence burst from Delan’s back. The stream of Demonic Law instantly converged together and transform.
His Demonic Law essence took a horrific form. A form of a massive demon avatar over 20 feet tall!
The demon avatar had six creepy arms with strange rune markings carved all along them, a terrifying face that can shatter souls apart, and a chilling body that was engraved with the same mysterious Law runes.
It was like the power of a demon god began to quickly manifest into reality. The power of a godly demon felt like it could faintly match the power of the majestic thunder god.
And the most horrifying part that everyone arena could sense was Delan’s Divine Aura only continued to rapidly grow in a second.
