Chapter 529 The End Of The Challenge
The streams of Draconic Lightning soared with an unstoppable momentum. No weaker cultivator has even the slightest chance of escaping its grasp!
Sun Wei, Jin Bo, Tao Ju, and the other three half-step Divine Rulers definitely roared. Law essence energy surged out of their bodies. Flashes of luminous Law lights filled the air, creating a large spectacle for the audience to feast their eyes on.
The half-step Divine Ruler’s energy principles desperately tried to resist Cain’s Draconic Lightning.
However, without even having to clash, their half-step Divine Ruler’s Law essence energy violently trembles before rapidly dissipating into nothingness.
Without any trouble or suspense, the streams of Draconic Lightning tightly coiled around the half-step Divine Ruler disciples.
Draconic Lightning essence energy had then sunk into their bodies and rippled out energy principles that completely suppressed their Inner World. It was no longer possible for them to gather any energy!
Sun Wei, Jin Bo, Tao Ju, and the other three half-step Divine Rulers looked on completely terrified.
This wasn’t the fact that Cain struck first. But his energy principles are simply at a far superior level to where he could easily make half-step Divine Rulers completely helpless!
Whatever remaining pride that Sun Wei, Jin Bo, Tao Ju, or the other half-step Divine Rulers had was completely smashed to utter bits and pieces.
Unknown to everyone, Cain secretly controlled his energy principles to concentrate square on the six disciples he suppressed, allowing the atmosphere to return to normal.
Not just the sky platform, but the whole area went into suffocating silence.
Jin Ya, Xu Tao, and Hu Wen all bewilderedly blinked their eyes. Not even they expected such dominance from Cain.
But before the silence could settle in for everyone to think about, a vigorous pulse of Spirit Aura burst from Amber’s body.
In her palm was a ball of red Spirit energy. The Spirit Energy Law principles rippling from the ball spread out at light speed, completely engulfing the atmosphere!
Space loudly shattered apart. Small black holes of the Void Space appeared all around the Spirit energy ball.
Just like Cain, the mere release of her Spirit energy could completely shatter apart the world’s natural Space Laws!
“Her too?!?”
The challenger disciples and the audience cried out in utter shock.
Everyone could subconsciously accept Cain’s ridiculous feats because he continually showed extreme Martial prowess in the past.
But Amber?
She rarely made public appearances or really fight that much. Many simply believed her true talents lay in Spirit Arts, which, of course, is still a great status to have.
It was just that not many truly believed that Amber was potentially dangerous with her pure power.
But at this moment, everyone’s thoughts couldn’t be farther from the truth!
Amber had simply kept herself so well hidden from the public eye!
The remaining challenger disciples not suppressed by Cain were still bewildered.
Jiang Ling was one of the remaining disciples. When he tried summoning his Inner World power, he detected that 70% of his Inner World was suppressed!
Furthermore, his Spiritual Sea found it hard to focus. The confusing mist of Amber’s Spirit energy principles threw his mind into chaos.
Jiang Ling quietly sighed. His emotions were mixed as he thought, ‘Was it really a good idea to bring them in? Should we have worked together with Wen Shao to kill them off? I guess it’s too late to regret now…’
At this time, one of the remaining half-step Divine Rulers clenched his jaw. He had to use a great amount of strength just to say, “You-you really hide yourself this much, huh? Do you-“
“Spare the words with me. I’m finishing this now.” Amber cleanly interrupted the disciples.
Her bloodline power surged, amplifying the density and complexity of her Spirit energy principles.
The red spirit energy ball brightly flashed. Threads of Spirit Webs burst out of the energy ball and soared straight to six other challenger disciples.
The remaining six were four half-step Divine Rulers and two peak-stage Divine Star experts, one of them being Jiang Ling.
With the amplified abilities of Amber’s bloodline, her Spirit energy principles suppressed the targeted six to the point where even summoning 10% of their Inner World powers was a tremendous challenge!
The six disciples still tried in a desperate attempt to surge their Law essence energy to resist Amber. But just like with Cain, their Law essence energy violently trembles before completely dispersing into nothingness.
The Spirit Webs tightly coiled around the six disciples. Spirit energy drilled into their internal body, unleashing Spirit energy principles that completely suppressed their Inner World.
They all became just as helpless as Cain’s victims!
Only a moment of silence covered the area. Instantly afterward, it wasn’t sure who, but an experienced, peak-stage Holy King master had shouted out, “Summoning energy to simply shatter apart space. Energy principles that greatly surpass their realms. Complexity that can even make me feel a mist in my Spiritual Sea. Theirs no doubt about it. They both have Quasi-grandmaster attainment levels! Lee’s is in the Source Law Path while Xun’s is evidently the Spirit energy Path!”
That Holy King master announcement sent waves throughout the entire surrounding audience!
“Qua-Quasi grandmaster?! I’ve heard only those in the Central Starfield, Quasi or just full Heavenly Great Worlds can reach this mysterious level!”
“Martial brother Lee wasn’t kidding at all. If he has this kind of power, he can maybe contend with a Divine Ruler!”
Being able to contend with a Divine Ruler without being a Divine Ruler made many feel cold chills.
Some vehemently denied it, though their tone waver a bit.
“Impossible. Neither Lee nor Xun have grasped Supreme Divine Laws nor formed their Dao Origins. They can’t overcome this with pure energy principles alone.”
“The only way I see it is through a Quasi-Saint weapon that can allow them to exchange some moves with a Divine Ruler. But even then, it will still be impossible to defeat a Divine Ruler without being a Divine Ruler!”
Discussions had heated up. But the consensus was that Cain and Amber were invincible below the Divine Ruler realm!
𝑜𝑽𝐿xt.𝔠𝐎𝓂
However, actually facing a Divine Ruler, even an ordinary one, would be too much of a disparity even they can’t overcome.
Of course, these were just assumptions based on the power the duo currently showed.
At this time, on the sky platform, Cain and Amber causally tossed their gazes over at the five golden cores.
Cain spread his left hand open and unleashed three strings of Draconic Lightning. The Draconic Lightning quickly soared forward, tearing through the atmosphere the golden cores had set up around itself.
Two Spirit Webs reached the golden cores at the same time.
Draconic Lightning coiled around three golden cores while the Spirit Web coiled around two golden cores.
For a brief moment, Cain and Amber experienced a wave of misty Dao energy principles in their Spiritual Sea. It nearly disrupted their controls.
But, in their heightened state with black lightning and stimulating power, Cain and Amber were able to instantly comprehend a larger, yet still small portion of the Dao energy principles.
Through this, they forcefully made a pathway for their essence energy to travel forward and back.
The duo clenched their palms, causing the golden cores to yank back. In Cain’s palm were three golden cores. While Amber gained two golden cores.
The duo managed to obtain the golden cores even while suppressing the twelve other challenger disciples!
Xu Tao, Hu Wen, and Jin Ya released a collective sigh. Hu Wen gained a wry smile. “Sometimes, I wonder if the word limit is even in their vocabulary. Heh, no wonder he apologized to us.”
Besides her, Jin Ya solemnly nodded. “Martial siblings are amazing. But this was a great experience to have in person. For me, this was enough.”
Shaking his head, Xu Tao sighed. “At the very least, we weren’t used as stepping stones like those guys. It would be too much to be nothing but helpless ants.”
Cain quietly chuckled while Amber had an indifferent expression when hearing the others. They simultaneously dispersed their essence energies that were holding the twelve other disciples.
Nobody could tell what their exact thoughts were. Their emotions were a jumbled mess.
Before anything else could happen, a figure had silently approved above the sky platform.
All of a sudden, the chaotic storm of noise from the surrounding audience went dead silent.
The figure was of a calm, beautiful woman. Her appearance reached near perfection. There wasn’t a single fault on her skin or body. With one look, men and women would instantly fall in love.
However, simply looking at this woman would prove as a challenge as difficult as ascending into the heavens.
The natural presence of this woman made the Holy King Elders halt their breathing. Divine Ruler Elders experienced a violent tremble in their Spiritual Seas. And all the other disciples were on the verge of going into a comma.
This all occurred for only a split second.
When the noise had stopped, so did that terrifying presence recedes into the woman’s body.
But though her presence was recalled, this woman still floated like a goddess among all powerful beings. Her very existence felt as if she came from another dimension. Appearing in the world like this was like a gift from the heavens.
In that moment, Cain suddenly felt a stirring from his soul’s nucleus. The Chaotic Emerald violently pulsated! Chaos energy streamed through his entire being, awakening him from this mysterious trance.
Cain subconsciously looked up. He was the only one to gaze at this goddess of a woman without falling into a trance.
Even Amber stalled for a moment.
For the briefest of seconds, Cain and this goddess of a woman matched gazes.
Cain’s eyes open wide in complete surprise. ‘The breath of a Great Dao! Her very presence stands near the top of the whole universe. Even the faintest principle from her can control the atmosphere. This a Primal Sovereign grandmaster!’
Only because of the Chaotic Emerald could Cain match gazes and even sense this Supreme Elder’s breath of the Great Dao. Without this, he would be completely helpless against her.
The Supreme Elder squinted her eyes. Her lips curled into the faintest hint of a smile.
She opened her mouth to speak, but right then, two presences, also exuding the breath of the Great Dao had appeared and one of them said, “Elder Xi. As per the rules of the competition, we all have a fair chance at selecting our disciples.”
The other breath of the Great Dao said, “Indeed. With all due respect, Elder Xi, we are only going by the rules of our ancestors.”
Supreme Elder Xi merely snorted. Her small breath vibrated the space itself. The power behind it actually caused two handsome, middle-aged men to be revealed to everyone.
Supreme Elder Xi clasped her hand behind her back and spoke with a hint of a domineering tone. “Elder Qie, Elder Que. I trust you are aware of what you’re doing?”
The Holy King Elders suddenly broke from their trance. Their pupils shrunk to the extreme. “Three Supreme Elders! One of the actually being Supreme Elder Xi while the others are Elder Qi and Que! These three are hard to see at any other time, but now have come at the same time!”
Elders and disciples alike were all stirring in rising anticipation. Even by simply feeling the breath of the Great Dao every single person felt their minds broadened.
This would be an event inscribed in Clodusea’s history books!
The seventeen challenger disciples all looked up in absolute wonder. The absolute disparity greatly stirred their Divine Wills.
If they can obtain such power as Primal Soverigen grandmasters, just how amazing that would be?
