Chapter 448 Lightning Engulfing Ice
Du Hu’s pupils heavily contracted. She already felt faintly suppressed by their initial exchange. Her Ice essence felt as if it was trying to slice through Divine steel. But at least she could still breathe.
Now, Du Hu felt crushingly pressured!
The very moment Cain erupted with strength, boundless energy surged out from Du Hu’s Inner World. Her warring shout was drowned out by the raging thunder as unleashed every ounce of her Inner World power!
There was no other choice. The pressure Cain was releasing suppressed to the point of affecting her movement.
As a blue, icy aura shrouded her body, Du Hu could just moderately resist Cain’s Law pressure.
Wanting to sigh a bit, Du Hu felt that she could calmly deal with the situation. However, a flash of intense blue reflected in her vision. Such intensity nearly blinded her vision.
Du Hu’s body reacted on instinct. Ice Law runes sparked upon her legs and a misty ice stream covered the lower half of her body. Inner World power surged as she activated her movement skill.
Space distorted as frost energy drilled all around in the air. Du Hu flashed backward over hundreds of meters in a split second. She practically teleported into the eyes of other cultivators.
However, despite how fast she moved, a crackling boom rattled her eardrums. Draconic Lightning essence smashed apart where Du Hu once stood, bursting out the Divine stones sporadically in the air.
The aftermaths of the Law essence rippled towards Du Hu at a surprising seed. Faint impact sounds blared out as Du Hu’s protective Divine Aura rippled like stones smashing against the ocean.
Du Hu’s eyes even narrowed upon observing that there were small cracks in her icy protective aura!
‘He’s really this powerful?!’ Du Hu felt a creeping horror but had no time to contemplate anything.
She wanted to retreat back even further but soon realized that the Draconic Lightning essence wave was hot on her tail and only gaining speed.
The longer the Draconic Lightning essence wave soared, the intenser its Law pressure became. Such pressure began to constrict the surrounding space, inevitably catching up to where Du Hu flew off to.
Feeling the space faintly tighten around her and her movement beginning to slow, Du Hu knew she wouldn’t be able to simply fly in the air and avoid the essence wave.
An icy light glinted in Du Hu’s eyes. Her hand loudly clasped together as she instantly manifested her Ice star orb into reality.
The instant the Ice star orb appeared, Du Hu’s prowess climbed towards its peak! All cultivators’ star orb has the automatic benefits of heightening a cultivator’s powers beyond their ordinary limit.
A star orb itself comes from a cultivator’s Dao Source Core, meaning any Divine Star warrior is grasping a small portion of a Great Dao’s strength!
Specks of space started to freeze over from a sudden and intense release of frost energy. Even from outside the Spiritual Barrier, many audience members shivered to their cores.
Cain merely curled his brows in amusement at the Ice Star orb. For some reason, it felt far stronger than any other Divine Star warrior he faced. And it wasn’t even because of Du Hu’s superior cultivation level. No, her Ice Star orb felt denser, more complex on a fundamental level of principles!
The Ice star orb violently pulsated. Ice Law essence burst from the Ice star orb, rapidly shooting high into the skies within a split second, forming into an Ice wall hundreds of feet tall!
In that instant, the massive Draconic Lightning essence chaotically smashed upon the titanic Ice wall.
‘Bang!’
Powerful energy shock waves stormed throughout the battle stage. Cracks lifted up the divine stone of the battle stage and small specks of space broke apart.
Du Hu had to hurriedly raise her protective Divine Aura to the limit to resit the shock waves. But only a second after, to her utter horror, her body trembled as a headache assaulted her mind.
Looking up, Du Hu nearly froze up completely.
Draconic Lightning essence instantly overwhelmed her Ice Law essence. Spider web cracks spread upon the Ice wall before it completely crumbled into tiny essence particles!
At the same time, the remnants of Draconic Lightning essence nearly dispersed. But there was still a small stream of Draconic Lightning essence that drilled towards Du Hu’s throat like a poisonous snake.
Even just this small amount of essence gave Du Hu a tremendous sense of threat. The power within this Lightning Law was complex, dense, thick, and endlessly powered by Cain’s Great Divine Sea!
What made matters worse was the headache Du Hu was currently suffering. That Ice Wall was a part of her defensive cultivation art. Cain so easily breaking it forcefully cut off her soul link to the art which not only disturbs her soul’s core but also messed with her Spiritual Sea.
But there simply wasn’t any time to gather her bearings. Du Hu gritted her teeth as she forcefully summoned Inner Wolrd’s energy throughout her whole body. The headache worsen and a small drip of blood flowed from her nose.
But it was all worth it to escape from Cain’s vicious attack!
In an instant, Du Hu’s Ice star orb brightly glowed. The surrounding Space Laws slightly weakened due to the power glistening power of the Ice Star orb.
Through the weakened Space Laws, Du Hu’s speed surpassed that of her previous speed, that a lightning strike! She flew to the skies in a trail of icy light.
High in the skies, Du Hu stared at Cain’s lone form with terrifying, killing intent. Her head was throbbing and a faint sense of deliriousness nearly confused her five senses.
Attack after attack, Du Hu came to a sharp decision.
This boy truly needs to die today! He absolutely can’t be allowed to become stronger than he already is!
Above all, a more terrifying feeling gripped Du Hu’s soul. Before today, she never had to worry about her life, being a prime Holy Land genius.𝗈𝑣𝗅xt.𝗇𝓔t
But face with Cain’s unstoppable might, she really felt that she might die without even getting a chance to admit defeat!
Raising her hand high, Ice Law essence streamed out from the center of Du Hu’s palm, quickly converging into the beautiful image of a giant ice moon.
The phantom ice moon glistened with radiant streaks of moonlight. It covered the skies like a real moon, painting a fantastical picture of absolute allure.
Du Hu’s Ice Laws powered to its absolute extreme. The comprehension of her Divine Level Laws reached near perfection, holding many complex energy principles within it, being able to manifest beautiful phantom objects like the very moon.
Many in the surrounding audience, even the Early Stage Divine Star experts, fell into a trance as they gazed above the massive ice moon. It was as if their souls fell into an endless illusion.
“So beautiful…” Many couldn’t take their eyes off for a second as they muttered like mindless drones.
“Try breaking this! Ice Ash Moon!” As Du Hu crazily shouted, her Ice Ash Moon fully manifested into reality.
Not only did the Ice Ash Moon contain immensely condense Ice Law essence, but it can also directly put one’s soul into a slight illusion!
Cain found it a bit interesting. But just that, only a bit interesting. There was only the faintest of soul principles within the Ice Ash Moon. Against Cain’s absurdly powerful soul, there wasn’t even a chance of contention.
Gripping his fist and bending his knees, Cain shot towards the skies with speeds surpassing that of Du Hu!
Through just exerting the power of his Laws, his Divine Aura had the natural effect of weakening the surrounding Space Laws. He didn’t even need Chaos energy to break space and increase his speed at this point.
Cain flashed within ten feet of Du Hu in only a split second. His Lightning encased swung fight with ferocious momentum. Streaks of blue lightning started to outshine the shimmering glow of the Ice Ash Moon.
‘He-he not affected?!’ Du Hu felt as if she was going crazy. Not a single other Late Stage Divine Star genius can resist the full soul pressure of her Ice Ash Moon!
At a special location in the audience, Demon Tao’s face was equally grave. He knew full well that even with his superior cultivation, he couldn’t causally ignore Ice Ash Moon. He would need his full Inner World power to just resist the soul pressure!
Not expecting such sudden speed, Du Hu’s chest painfully tightened as she slightly jumped back. Her Ice Ash Moon is supposed to create a small field domain that entraps a foe and unleashes unending Ice essence upon them.
But because of this unexpected movement, Du Hu had no choice but to detonate all of her condensed Ice Law essence. She hurriedly swung down the Ice Ash moon towards Cain’s fist.
Lightning fist to pure Ice Law essence smashed against each other!
‘Ka-Cha!’
This time, instead of wild energy shock waves, Cain’s Lightning encased fist directly smashed apart the Ice Ash moon into utter bits!
“What?!?”
Not just Du Hu, but the surrounding audience were also horrified to their very cores.
Without the use of a Spirit weapon or his cultivation art, Cain’s Divine body smashed apart a Divine Grade cultivation skill! A skill that could easily level countries, mountains, or possible continents was nothing against Cain’s lightning-encased fist!
Demon Tao was shocked beyond all senses at this point. Since when a human can cultivate such a rigorous Divine body?!
Everyone knows that while a Divine body is truly tough, it would only seem invincible against mortals. When faced with other cultivators on the same level, a Divine body’s innate defenses won’t play that much help.
Even Cain felt a little amount of shock at his staggering power. But instantly afterward, his lips curled in a deadly smile.
