Chapter 707 The Aftermath

The three lords were truly exhausted of all of their energies this time. Blood couldn't stop leaking from their bodies. Their Inner Worlds were drained and chaotic essence stormed through their internal bodies.

None of them could twitch a single finger at this moment.

At the same time, Cain was shakily swaying in the sky. His injuries were slightly less severe than the three lords. But his body was still dyed with crimson blood.

Many of his organs ruptured and bones were completely shattered to dust. The invading essence swirling in his internal body could barely be suppressed.

It was a miracle that Cain could still fly, albeit barely, in this kind of state.

And Lord Zhihao, Hai, Nether Devil, Cain wasn't alone at this moment.

Four extreme geniuses had withstood the violent tempest of shockwaves, witnessing the last attack exchanged.

Horror faintly flashed on three of the geniuses' faces. While only one of them held immense concern.

Those three stood at the very peak of the universe. They've seen many showcases of power. Yet nothing could really phase them all that much.

But there was nothing that could truly describe the stormy emotions swirling in their souls as they stared at the grueling scene.

Three peak Divine Decree Lords lay bloodied and motionless in a crater.

While Cain stood above them all, clearly the victor.

"This...this..." Yin Hao, Death Long, and Gu Jian were shocked speechless.

Not a single one of them could ever dare that they can not only defeat three peak Divine Decree Lords all on their own in a fight. But also injure them so badly to the point that none of them could move!

These three peak Divine Decree Lords had no choice but to admit it. The Divine Mortal Huang Cain was more than just terrifying. This power was absolutely monstrous!

They believed it even though they haven't witnessed the entire fight.

The only one who didn't care about the power of Cain was Kali. She didn't wait, instantly flashing by Cain's side to pick him up.

Kali didn't trust anyone of these Divine Decree Lords. Who knows they may try to strike when Cain was at his weakest.

Rays of icy divine sword lights swirled around her body. Her law principles both froze space to weaken its constricting law principles. And the ability of the sword slashed through space at extreme speed.

She soon vanished from everyone's sight in only half a second.

Neither Lord Hao, Lord Jian, nor Death Long attempted to stop her. They took one long look at where Kali flew off two.

Slowly, they then turned their attention toward the battered lords still lying within their craters.

All of them were in horrible states. But to the lords' credit, each of them was now beginning to twitch their fingers, at least. The regenerative abilities of their bloodlines were still powerful enough to slowly heal them from tremendous injuries.

Lord Jian murmured out loud, "Should we help or..."

Lord Hao's response was instant. She shrugged, saying, "Not my problem whether they live or die. And their vitality seems greatly stubborn anyway. This was only a chance meeting. Farewell."

Crimson lightning swirled her body as she rapidly took off into the skies. Many matters were on her mind. She needed some time to stew about what she had just witnessed.

"Hmph." Death Long didn't even bother with words, only coldly snorting. He too soon soared off in his own direction.

Only Guo Jian stayed behind. His eyes flashed down to the fallen Divine Decree Lords. Evident intrigue and curiosity rippling from his gaze.

...

Kali flew off for several hundreds of miles. She only stopped when finding some random, lone cave to rest in.

Rays of her sharp, icy divine laws protected the entrance.

Once safe inside, she fed Cain even more Saint tier healing pills.

The effect of powerful healing pills and Cain's own regenerative bloodlines was doing wonders. He had already recovered from his most severe of injuries, feeling better enough to move his body with minimal pain.

He lightly sighed as he leaned against the cave wall. The adrenaline of battle was completely gone. Now his mind was focusing on the deep and complicated matters he learned from that grueling fight.

At the same time, Kali breathed a tremendous sigh of relief at Cain's relaxed state.

She narrowed her eyes, promptly questioning, "Just what the hell is going on? I know that you would inevitably fight some peak geniuses, but why gang up on you? Surely, these geniuses have more pride than that?"

It was simply a case of divine cultivators' pride. Even the most average of divine cultivators found it distasteful to gang up on a person in a fight, especially if they are in the same realm.

Mere words couldn't rile up geniuses that badly. Kali had already guessed something was afoul here.

Cain calmed himself with a deep breath. His tone was far more serious, contrasting his usual, confident one. "I couldn't get the full story. But there are some schemes going on between the Heavenly Great Worlds. Their ambitions are growing even more than before. Zhihao, Hai, and Nether Devil were in a plan to either kill me, kidnap me, or convince me to genuinely join their forces. They claim it was to put a stop to the other great worlds trying to reign supreme amongst the God Galaxy. But, I don't even have to be a three-year-old child to understand there's truth and lies within their words."

Kali curled her brows. A disdainful smile flashed on her face. "Those Venerates really thought those three were enough to take you down? You need at least all direct disciples and lords in the entire universe to even make you completely exhausted!"

At this point, her tone did get a bit more serious. "Still, whatever's going on, I don't like it at all. Considering they waited until this gathering to state their intention to you, I don't doubt they have more tricks up their sleeves."

"And that's not even the worst part." A memory flashed through Cain's mind. "That Lord Hai...he's not just a part of the Soaring Immortal great world. But is actually from an alien race I had fought with not too long ago. I had detected it from the Dao principles of their bloodlines. He is a part of the Celestial Fey race."

"Really?" Kali's eyes open wide. Naturally, she instantly believed Cain's words, no question asked. And the implications only made a growing concern stir in her soul.

Cain gravely nodded. "Not too long ago, as I mentioned, I faced another Celestial Fey genius when I was gathering a Venerate tier resource. Oddly enough, that Fey and this Fey both at least have some relations to the Astral Demons."

Kali stewed on her thoughts. Nothing good came from thinking about the Fey. She slowly said, "I read about them numerous times. And surprisingly enough, our oldest ancestor mentioned them in passing with great disdain. All sources claim they are a hateful alien race with freakish power and talent. They simply want to conquer, destroying anyone who isn't from their race."

The only thing that managed to concern Cain was the fact that this domineering race had set their sights on the God Galaxy.

His brows quirked when asking, "Just the leading ancestor? Did grandmother really say nothing about it?"

"I would've remembered if she did." Kali nodded. "Grandmother always tells me anything I ask. But I never thought to bring this topic up, thus she never said anything about it. At least, that's what I think her reasons were. But in any case, we can't let this be a secret, right? I mean, no matter how exaggerated the hate is towards the Fey, they all are a legitimate danger to us."
