Waves of horrifying power continually flowed out of these dark shade holes, completely overshadowing the current peak power of Emperor Hian.
Emperor Hian began to feel even more sluggish underneath the absorption force of the dark shade holes. Strands of his own rapidly diminishing essence energy were getting forcefully sucked away into these dark shade holes!
If this were to continue, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Fuck it!" Emperor Hian spared no expense, instantly combusting a small portion of his blood essence!
Just like with Emperor Guo, Hian has the means to recover the blood essence.
At that moment, an ominous scarlet glow engulfed Emperor Hian's entire body and his fused Dao Phantom.
His long black hair wildly scattered in the wind, chaotic and recklessly like a demon-killing god from the depths of hell!
'Extreme Annihilation!'
His own Saint Martial skill surged at its full force, causing Emperor Hian's body to gleam a world-engulfing lightning-destruction essence!
His War Saint Lance smashed down to annihilate all life in existence. Everything would be smashed apart into tiny specks of space dust!
"Come!" Cain gladly welcomed the overwhelming strike.
He could not use any other martial skill with the Essence of the Void out. But he did not need any other martial skill.
By this point, 70% of the lightning-destruction Dao runes were sucked into the dark shade holes.
In that same moment, the dark shade holes soared and perfectly fused into Cain's Deep Sword and the Dragon-Phoenix Origin phantom's claws!
The fusion caused Cain's body and the Dragon-Phoenix Origin phantom to gleam with endless divine lights that almost completely overshadowed all other Dao laws within the martial arena.
Two unfathomable divine strikes amplified by the dark shade holes brutally smashed down at Emperor Hian's Extreme Annihilation!
'Bang!!'
A heaven-shattering explosion, even slightly more intense than the previous duel shook everything to its core.
The blinding divine light rippled with wild shockwaves that stormed across everything. n0veluSb.c0m
Half-step Heavenly Venerates and full-fledge Heavenly Venerates were shocked to see small cracks splitting on the Dao barrier surrounding the martial stage.
This was a Dao barrier fortified by an actual Heavenly Venerate!
Seconds later, and the blinding divine light cleared away along with the shockwaves.
What was revealed to everyone now made everyone in Emperor Hian's faction go pale white.
Floating high above the world with a grand momentum to suppress to the heavens even with beautiful blue blood staining his body was the young dragon god Cain!
His current appearance robbed the breaths of not just half-step Heavenly Venerates, but even the full-fledged Heavenly Venerates.
The terrifying long gash sprayed across his chest only added to his enigmatic appearance, being able to treat such a horrific wound with ease and still retaining an oppressive might.
Compared to how majestic Cain was, on the martial stage below him, was a sight for sore eyes.
A hundred-deep meter crater was carved out on the martial stage. And within the crater, was the battered and beaten Emperor Hian who lost every single one of his previous godly prestige.
The gashes across his body were truly putrid. His flesh was either burnt to a crisp or completely slashed off his body. Numerous of his organs were ruptured, his bones were smashed to bits and his handsome face was nearly a mangled mess of flesh.
He could barely twitch a finger, just like what happened with Emperor Guo.
Truthfully, it was amazing that Emperor Hian was still alive with such heavy injuries. The vitality of his Inner World and enhanced bloodline greatly helps in keeping him alive.
The audience's eyes continually flashed from the broken Emperor Hian and the majestic Cain.
It was at this moment that it started to dawn on many across the entire Dao Coliseum.
"Say...hasn't it only been a year? Just a single year since the Heaven-Blessing Overlords entered the Cosmic Death Realm. In just a year that got so powerful!?"
"This cultivation speed is harrowing!"
A half-step Heavenly Venerate genuinely spoke with fear edging in his tone. "It's like there can never be any imperfection in their foundations."
"Just how are they doing it?" A Great Elder Venerate curiously murmured. "Is their God bloodline just that special? Or are they using a peak Saint Tier Skill? Or something else?"
The Lightning-Destruction sect members were simply left scratching their heads. No one could make heads or tails of anything.
How could they?
It was immensely difficult for even Heavenly Venerates to properly detect the force of God Tribulation Lightning essence, especially when it's fused with various other sources of immensely powerful law principles.
And Chaos energy principles were a cheat that no being here can even think about understanding.
At this time, Cain indifferently watched as Emperor Hian was whisked away by a medical elder.
Just like that, he entered a realm where even these supreme geniuses really could be crushed by him.
It was a small step. But something of which that made Cain that more confident in finding God Sovereign Yao's inheritance and one day crushing the Heavenly God sect.
With an invisible step forward, Cain teleported back to where Kali and Luo Na were watching the fight.
He smiled at the girls, opening his mouth to speak.
But Kali beat him to the punch. "Big and loud as ever. But our prestige is cemented after this. A shame that Luo Na can't have this grand, epic battle with an apex genius within here."
There was Empress Kui. However, since they all were on the same side, none of them saw the point in souring their relationship with her.
Still, Cain nodded at Luo Na, saying, "You should still go up and crush some Emperor Grandmaster in one move. It'll prove that you're somewhere around our level and it should make news to that roc girl."
"Indeed. Then, I won't waste any time." Luo Na nodded without any trouble.
She took a divine step through the void space.
At that moment, faint mystical hums, so angelic, so soothing that they could swoon the hearts of devils began slithering into everyone's ears.
"Hm?" Many spiked up from their seats. Thoughts about Cain and Kali stalled.
Everyone began to remember there was still that once unfathomable Holy King that stuck close to the dragon duo.
Luo Na's appearance brightens the entire world. Rays of beautifully, majestic divine lights faintly flickered out of her pupil.
She didn't just seem like a goddess, but even without surging her law powers, her presence was still greater than a majestic empress of the heavens.
Luo Na spoke in a calm yet determined voice. "Are there any Emperor Grandmaster that wish to face me?"
The whole audience fell into a suffocating silence. This kind of declaration would've caused outrageous shouts to fly out and stirred up the frustration of prideful disciples.
A half-step Primal Sovereign cultivation base should still be nothing in these geniuses' eyes.
But now, not a single person dared to foolishly speak their mouth or look down on Luo Na.
Her current presence already told she's on an unfathomable level far superior to many others in the same generation.
"Damn! Is nobody going to go up?"
"Who should even go up? From what I know, the last time she fought, she exuded a stronger feeling on the soul than the other two."
The three faction members were scratching their heads about who to send out.
They can't just not participate in the evaluation meeting. Even if nobody wanted to go out, one of the Great Elder Venerates would call someone out if there was no response to the challenge. That was the most they could do.
If somebody wants to immediately forfeit upon the start of the match, that was completely possible.
