The Chaos Dragon Prince

Xu Tao and Hu Wen took a deep breath at the same time. Soul energy coursed through their very beings. It was enough to quell some of their nerves, but a bundle of them still remained.

Xu Tao was the one to say, “If you desire to record, we won’t stop you. Just don’t blame us for what’s going to happen.”

“Excellent.” Cain waved his hand and flicked out a recording ring.

Faint swirls of lightning covered the ring as it then ascended high into the skies.

Promptly afterward, Cain gave the young Lightning Lords a casual look over. He could see and practically feel their fiery, fighting spirit.

Although, this wouldn’t be able to change their fate.

Cain spread his palm and confidently boasted, “Both of you can either come together or separately. It won’t matter.”

The Chaos Spirit Force, Draconic Lightning Aura, and the power of his Soul Form opened up to a full 80%!

A gargantuan explosion of Draconic Lightning chaotically swirled out of Cain’s body. Electricity sizzled through the atmosphere, mincing apart the air and heavily distorting space.

Bright lightning flashes covered the earth like a judgment from the heavens.

Xu Tao and Hu Wen’s eyes widened to the extreme. Stinging pain started to sizzle their eyes. Subconsciously, they poured out more Inner World energy as they felt a genuine threat to their lives.

Their Divine Auras just barely stabilized their balance, but a faint trembling stirred in their souls. It felt as if some kind of force was subtly suppressing their entire beings.

Xu Tao and Hu Wen forced themselves to ignore that force and heightened their bodies to full focus.

At this time, their Divine eyes witnessed a breathtaking sight.

All surrounding lightning strikes were drowned out. Large distortion of space sparsely appeared and some small sections of the area cracked open to the Void Space. The ground started to tremble while terrifying large cracks split it open.

All other lightning strikes didn’t matter. The majestic might, the overwhelming presence of Draconic Lightning had completely engulfed the heavenly-grade lightning field!

Within the storm of electricity, Cain’s figure could faintly be seen. His palm slowly opened and a single finger flickered.

Two small streaks of blue lightning bolts flashed out of his fingers. The Draconic Lightning bolts intensely rippled. Its energy principles cracked apart Space Laws, heightening their speeds to terrifying levels.

The Draconic Lightning bolts locked straight onto Xu Tao and Hu Wen. It roared at them with the same ferocity of a mighty Dragon!

Xu Tao and Hu Wen’s pupils widen to an extreme.

“Shit!”

Divine Lightning Laws powerfully erupted from Xu Tao and Hu Wen as they frantically cursed.

Upon the very start of the duel, they instantly activated their cultivation arts. Their Divine Auras intensely surged with vigorous lightning energy principles.

Flickers of lightning lights flowed out of their bodies and attempted to converge into a Lightning Barrier.

Compared to Xu Tao’s normal color blue lightning, Hu Wen’s surged out as a brilliant golden color. The golden lightning had even rippled with slightly more intense energy principles and contained another source of power fueling its essence energy.

However, the Lightning barrier couldn’t be properly formed. The faint image of their Lightning Barrier continuously trembled, as if it was on the verge of breaking apart from an overwhelming force. Deep within the barriers, its energy principles pulsated, being on the fence of collapsing apart.

Both Xu Tao and Hu Wen felt a small rise of horror. They had poured out nearly 90% of their Inner World power just to resist Cain’s fundamental Law suppression.

But even with this, their Divine Lightning Laws could barely hold on!

At this time, the Draconic Lightning bolts smashed upon the Lightning barriers.

Blinding streaks of electricity flickered. The Lightning barriers could barely resist for a second. Soon enough, Xu Tao and Hu Wen felt despair as they saw spider-web-like cracks spread across their lightning barriers.

A second later, the Draconic Lightning bolts combusted! The resulting explosion force shattered the barrier completely and heavily smashed against Hu Wen and Xu Tao’s protective Divine Aura!

“Ah!”

Xu Tao and Hu Wen fiercely clenched their teeth, erupting with all of their Inner World powers as they forcefully resist the explosion force.

Though a large portion was absorbed by their lightning barriers, the remaining energy force cracked apart their protective Divine Aura and faintly suppressed their Laws, weakening their defense.

The duo had to hurriedly retreat hundreds of meters away. Xu Tao felt a painful tremor within his arms and his chest heavily heaved. Hu Wen actually had a faint trail of blood running down her chin. She had to utilize over half of her power just to suppress Cain’s invading Draconinc Lightning essence.

Out of the two, Hu Wen specifically felt tremendously pressured. The taste of her blood was disgusting. Breathing became immensely difficult to do. And her mind nearly became disorientated from Cain’s complex lightning energy principles.

She instantly judged this would be a challenge like no other. A genius like Cain cannot be predicted whatsoever.

Hu Wen had zero shame in transmitting to Xu Tao, ‘Even if we were to fight together, I severely doubt we can even last a few minutes. Better to be suppressed one-on-one than completely embarrassed together!’

Without waiting for Xu Tao’s reply, Hu Wen revolved her movement arts to their very limits. The same Golden Lightning from before surged around her legs until it completely became nothing but swirling electricity.

Afterward, Hu Wen flashed backward. Space Laws weakened from her flight. In one leap, she crossed over 20 miles.

Cain didn’t pay attention to her. He could’ve stopped if he so desired, but didn’t want to make this duo lose too much face. There wasn’t any past disagreement between them, just a simple duel between geniuses.

While Cain was calm, Xu Tao had to hold his tongue from cursing.

The Lightning pressure wasn’t any better for him!

His mind had also judged this would be the most grueling fight he had ever experienced. The tremor in his arms had to be the most threatening attack he experienced in a long while.

Perhaps together with Hu Wen, there would’ve been a better fighting chance.

But at the same time, Xu Tao couldn’t deny that getting suppressed at the same time would be largely more embarrassing.

Resisting the Lightning Law suppression, Xu Tao madly shouted. All the power within his Inner World surged at this very moment. His palm opened and a two-meter-long war hammer appeared.

Spirit insignia runes covered the war hammer all over. Every rune pulsated with violent trickles of electricity and rippled an aura surpassing all Divine Star experts.

This was Xu Tao’s Quasi-Saint ranked weapon, Thunder Hammer!

Thunder Hammer in hand, Xu Tao’s Divine Aura broke past its limits. His Divine Qi and Lightning energy principles tremendously increased. Its density would be enough to suffocate ordinary peak-stage Divine Star experts.

,m However, no matter how much his Divine Aura increased, Xu Tao still felt immense pressure to the point breathing was still a challenge itself.

Cain was indifferent to the new development. He lazily waved his hand and cast out Draconinc Lightning essence.

The Draconic Lightning essence surged to the skies and then broke out into numerous small bolts of electricity. Every bolt of electricity pulsated with at least 80% of Cain’s current power!

The Lightning energy principles weren’t anything like what Xu Tao or Hu Wen experienced before. These were Lightning energy principles that were birth from the mutated force of Divine Lightning Law source and Dragon god blood essence!

Xu Tao’s pupils contracted. His movement nearly turned sluggish, and it became tremendously harder to focus.

The pressure was too great. The energy principles far surpassed the standards of half-step Divine Rulers…no, not just half-step Divine Rulers.

Xu Tao felt that this odd pressure could possibly match genuine Supreme Divine Laws!

In this instant, Cain didn’t give Xu Tao time to think. His hand flicks down, sending the overwhelming wave of Draconic Lightning bolts straight at Hu Tao.

Every Draconinc Lightning bolt locked down the region around Xu Tao. The Lightning pressure caused space to be tightly strained.

Xu Tao instantly judged to break away, he would need to expand an immense amount of energy and power. By that time, the Draconic Lightning bolt would already strike him.

His options were very limited. He could only go all out!

“Fences Of Thunder!” Xu Tao crazily roared, his pupils crackling with intense electricity.

He raised his Thunder Hammer high while revolving his cultivation art, interjecting the Quasi-Saint weapon with boundless energy.

The Spirit insignia runes on the Thunder Hammer violently pulsated. Lightning streaked out of every rune. Every stream of Lightning rapidly converged together, manifesting into numerous small circularly lightning portals.

These Lightning portals gushed an intense suction force. All surrounding Heaven and Earth’s Divine Essence and Lightning Law source essence were forcefully sucked into these portals.

With every second passing, these lightning portals had actually grown stronger!

Their Lightning energy principles grew denser than what Xu Tao had initially cast them out as.

The ability of Fences Of Thunder was to suck in any and all forms of energy. Through suction would Xu Tao be spared from devastating attacks.

Furthermore, when the Lightning portals become overloaded, they could unleash tremendous beams of attacks.

Xu Tao’s face became pale. Controlling and unleashing all of these lightning portals placed an immense strain on his soul energy, Spiritual Sea and Inner World.

If any other half-step Divine Ruler were to face this attack, they would be utterly helpless.

However, Cain didn’t change his attack.

The Draconic Lightning bolts went unhindered, soaring straight into each lightning portal!

Blinding flashes of lightning overtook the area.

From miles away, Hu Wen was forced to shut her eyes and minimize her Divine Sense just from the overwhelming clash. It was far too much for her to take in.

At the start, Xu Tao was somewhat confident about the Lightning portals could resist the Draconic Lightning bolts. The bolts of energy were getting converted into pure energy that fueled the portals.

However, not even a few seconds later, the Lightning portals began to fiercely tremble. Deep within it, the energy principles from the Draconic Lightning bolts caused an immense Law suppression.

If the Draconic Lightning bolts were just two or three, there would’ve been a chance at survival. However, with a seemingly unending stream of Draconic Lightning bolts, it simply wasn’t possible for the Lightning portals to resist for any substantial amount of time.

Xu Tao instantly judged it was going to be terrible for him. He didn’t hesitate in cutting off his soul link to the portals and then forming a sturdy lightning shield.

At the same time, the Lightning portals gained numerous, large running cracks. They all stilted, going seemingly dead.

Then, the next moment, an overwhelming force of Draconic Lightning combusted from each Lightning portal!

‘Bang!’

Explosions that sounded like hell on earth reverberated for miles. Everything, from the scenery to the atmosphere, was engulfed by the overwhelming force of Draconic Lightning.

From afar, Hu Wen felt a cold chill crawl up her spine. Placed in the center of that lightning explosion, there would only be a slim chance of her defending. She couldn’t even think how could Hu Tao properly defend.

And not out of her expectations, Hu Wen heard Xu Tao miserably wailing. Even among the deafening explosions, her Divine hearing focused specifically on Xu Tao’s position.

She looked over at a sight that shook her to the core.

Trails of blood spurted into the air. The blood died on the ground of the mountain terrain in a chilling crimson rain.

In the middle of the crimson rain was Xu Tao. His robes were tattered, and blood poured out of numerous spots on his body and dripped down his lips.

Even in all the harrowing adventures she had experienced with Xu Tao, Hu Wen never saw such a horrifying state from Xu Tao until today.𝒐𝔳𝒍xt.𝔠𝑶𝕞
