Master Cao simply couldn't believe it. His face swells in horror. All of this damage from one clash! And this was with his Holy Dao Origin State!
The horror was already enough to affect Master Cao's Martial Heart for a lifetime.
But the nightmare simply did not stop there.
A profound green flash tore apart space once again. Cain appeared right before Master Cao. From his pupils, a line of Chaos energy hurled out at light speeds!
Nothing could contain the speed of this attack. This was speed surpassing the fabrics of space and matching the velocity of light.
The only attack that can reach such a height was Cain's Chaos Illusion skill!
The Chaos Illusion line easily penetrated into Master Cao's head.
He, a Holy King Master, simply could not react. His state was already weakened from the previous attack.
And Chaotic Teleportation made Cain's attack instant. Cain simply didn't need to wait for even a second to gather more energy.
Master Cao was utterly helpless. His body froze completely. Mysterious sensations permeated his entire Spiritual Sea.
Everything had turned into a hypnotic green glow. Within this green glow were mysterious, yet ethereal figures. Figures that can warp your entire mind. Ethereal beings no life in the universe could ever ignore!
Master Cao's soul wanted to hurriedly overdraw on its energy to jolt him awake.
But it was too late.
The Dragon Swift Sword radiated its world-tearing might once again. Its overwhelming might fiercely rain down on the Silver Python Dao Origin with the intent of shredding it to pieces!
'Bang!'
With another violent tempest of energy shockwaves, Master Cao was heavily struck to the ground, his body spraying out seas of blood.
"Ah!"
Master Cao vomited endless streams of blood. The Silver Python Dao Origin protecting him was nearly shattered to complete pieces. Large chunks of its body were completely missing!
Master Cao's arm was utterly broken. So was his body in numerous places.
There wasn't any hesitation left in Master Cao. The power of his soul completely burns. Energy surged through his body. But as to not empower, but to activate a talisman within his soul.
Silverly lights radiated from Master Cao's body. A rising power of another Holy King master nearly descended into the world.
However, Cain coldly snorted. His eyes glinted with a Draconic streak.
"Phoenix-Dragon Flash!"
Cain's entire body seemingly transforms. All of his power condescends to an extreme singular point. A heaven-stopping phenomenon filled the entire skies.
"Ah-this!" Lan Rui's eyes couldn't stay close. She stared in complete wonder. Her vision did not betray her at all.
The phenomenon transforming Cain's body was unforgettable. It was both the majestic prestige of a True Dragon and the royal nobility of an Ice Phoenix!
Two forces perfectly fused together. It generated a power beyond the understanding of the common universe!
A bright, blinding blue flash shrouded everything. A bestial roar shook the island.
The Dragon-Phoenix moved at celestial speed and brought about and world-tearing might right upon Master Cao!
'Chi!'
Ear-shattering explosions rippled the atmosphere. Large tracks of space were continually destroyed. The energy storm that can ravage small planets spread throughout this section of the island.
After a few seconds, the overbearing storm dissipated.
Lan Rui blinked her eyes. She tentatively looked over. What awaited her was an impressive sight.
Only Cain stood alone in a 100-foot crater. Beneath his feet were only ashes.
A genuine Holy King master was slain by the hands of a Divine Star warrior!
If such news were to get out, even the Heavenly Great Worlds would feel a chill. It was lucky the fight was limited inside the sealed space of the Frost Islands. The outside world would get absolutely ravaged by their fight.
Lan Rui quietly sighed as she flew over to Cain. That fight was indeed domineering. But she did notice Cain slightly swaying with beads of sweat falling down his face.
She asked with concern, "Are you ok, martial brother? Do you need to take a slight breather?"
Cain was quick to sober up. He looked over, noticing that Lan Rui had already gotten close to his side.
There was nothing but calmness in his gaze. Though, seeing Lan Rui being so concerned for him and out of her normally calm mask was a treat.
Truth be told, Cain did feel considerably drained from having to kill a Holy King.
He once again needed to use nearly every ounce of his power in order to score a clean victory. Anything less would have ended up in failure.
The vast power of a Holy King was becoming clearer to Cain. The power of Holy Qi symbolizes the perfect state of Heaven and Earth's Divine Essence. While middle stages Supreme Divine Law holds a greater force of the Great Dao.
Both of these immense sources of power are perfectly mixed together, fusing to generate an unrivaled force.
Cain's Spiritual Sea was coming to a greater understanding of the principles of both Holy Qi and Supreme Divine Laws. He even began to realize that killing an ordinary Holy King is most likely his limit.
Attempting to kill a talented one would be slightly overextending himself without exposing his dragon heritage.
It felt a bit different. Even the most talented of Divine Rulers can be killed by him if he so pleases while in the Great Divine Sea realm.
Now Cain was meeting his limits. Exciting, yet also pressuring.
A small smile curled Cain's lips. He calmly shook his head at Lan Rui's concerns. "Just need a restoration pill and I'm ready to go. I'm sure we will meet more Holy King forces, so let's not take even the slightest moment to delay."
As he finished speaking, Cain tossed a saint-ranking restoration pill into his mouth. Energy quickly filled his body to the brim. The fatigued state was instantly cleared up.
Lan Rui gave one last look over before nodding. The life-vein root compass in hand, she pointed towards the open section in the endless gray mist. "Thankfully, it appears we really do not have to do over chest even if some time has passed. The route points in this direction. Let's go."
With a silent nod, Cain took the lead. Lights of their Law faintly illumined their bodies as they flew across.
Their bodies were still tense to jump into action at any second.
Beyond the first section of the island, the scenery did not change at all. It was still a vast stretch of island that seemingly had no end.
This time, there weren't any treasure chests to choose from. Only lush spring trees and bushes that dazzled with radiance.
Lan Rui expertly lead Cain down a single path. No trap or any potential vicious Dao Beast attempted to disturb their flight.
The duo nearly believed that there also wouldn't be any cultivator forces on this path.
But their hopes were soon dashed.
Cain and Lan Rui, to a lesser extent, perceived numerous powerful beings a few hundred of meters ahead of them.
Each and every one of these cultivation masters radiated Laws that can crush the air and tremble countless worlds. A single breath from them can make anyone weaker shiver to their knees.
This was a gathering of numerous Holy King masters! There wasn't a single half-step Holy King in the ranks.
Cain and Lan Rui briefly pause. Their eyes slightly narrowed. Clear danger was evident. But the path only leads down one road.
Cain cautiously asked, "I'm assuming our only way forward is through here?"
"Indeed it is, unfortunately. I suppose we should at least get close to know the situation. Those Holy Kings don't appear they will be moving anytime soon." Lan Rui suggested.
No disagreement came from Cain. The duo then proceeded to slowly trail over to the gathering of Holy Kings. Their divine eyesight soon spotted several majestic cultivation masters in the distance.
One side consisted of three masters who all exuded the extreme Laws of Fire. All around them was a world-ending heat. Even the ground they stood on sizzled from their natural presence.
Their robes as well emitted an eye-blinding fiery silver light. A glorious rune symbol of a silver sun glowered right at the side of their chests.
The other group consisted of three masters who all breathed the nobility of a superior bloodline tier. Beautiful silver feathers that dazzled with faint Laws could be seen growing out of the back of their hands.
Their robes as well consisted of silver lights. The rune symbol etched across took the form of a majestic, silver falcon.
The horrifying forces of two groups Holy King masters ravaged the atmosphere. Every strand of Law was highly suppressive. Even an ordinary early Holy King would crumble to their knees in the middle of such suppression.
The silver sun Holy Kings all wore intense expressions. Subtle killing intent radiated from their eyes.
The man in the middle of their group spoke with a domineering tone, "Are you three done yet? We're all here for the same thing, right? Why waste your time putting up a pointless struggle, that'll simply drag everyone down in the end?"
