"Ah-ah?! Just what kind of monster is fighting with Leader?! This Aura… it's too intense!"
"Just where are the other supreme Elders?!"
Within moments, the other captains and their squadrons arrived close to the battlefield.
But when they got within a dozen of meters, they all froze.
The Aura of suppressions radiating off this unknown person was too much for them! Just at the cusps of his Aura range, they all feel massive pressure like no others.
The Liang Tribe captains and their squadrons all began to tremble.
Has the day finally come?
Has doomsday arrived for their Tribe?!
As Cain could feel the fear around him, he finally decided to blast off!
The ground burst apart as he shot off like a speeding missile, leaving faint afterimages in his wake.
As he soared forward, he stimulated both his Astral Core and Spirit Essence sea, causing Astral Energy and blue Spirit Energy to interwoven throughout his internal body.
These completely different energies didn't clash to cause damage. Nor did they just combine to slightly boost his strength.
No, both Astral and Spirit Energy completely fused together!
At that moment, Cain's strength crazily increased by at least five degrees. His speed enhanced, practically turning into a trail of brilliant green light.
Facing this kind of immense prowess, Liang He bellowed out with his might!
Innate Qi exploded out of him, causing visible energies ripples to cut through the air.
The weakest form of Innate Qi is still a power close to the mysteries of the world. It is at a level that can affect reality at a far greater than what either Spirit, Nascent, or Profound Qi can ever achieve.
"Die!"
Liang He coated his spear in bright, powerful flames as he stimulated the flame essence within his Qi Origin Seed.
In his base state, Liang He's strength rose to his absolute peak!
Without any fear, he thrust his flaming spear forward, spewing out flames that scorched the air, colliding with Cain's two powerful fists once again!
'Bang!'
Turbulent clashes of powerful energies exploded through the air. The shockwaves were terrifying, blasting apart the environment for miles!
"Ahhh!!"
Miserable wails erupted all over as the captains and their squadrons were swept up by the powerful energy currents.
Numerous buildings collapsed, crushing the powerful Qi material stone to utter duet!
Under this powerful energy explosion, Liang He was sent flying like a bullet, blood shooting out him like a crimson stream.
His Earthen Spirit Spear, a weapon forged by powerful materials and a powerful World Spirit Master, directly split in half!
Both halves of the spear flew out into the wind, never to be seen again.
'Peng!'
As for Liang He, he brutally crashed right into a random pagoda, shattering the entire structure right on impact. Numerous of his bones broke, his organs ruptured as he vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Holy…have I truly gotten this stronger?"
Cain was a bit surprised. He knew he could contend with Innate Qi prowess but not to such an overwhelming degree like this.
But then again, Cain had his entire being refined by the Haven Pool. A Divine-Class resource that perfected his Spirit, Astral, and Qi foundation!
Naturally, his combat prowess took several leaps without him even needing to break through.
As Cain was lost in thought, Liang He's chilling voice exploded into the air.
"Soul Flame!"
'Bang!'
A massive release of energy blasted away the ruined pagoda, revealing Liang He's new form.
Now, Liang He had rivers of blood flowing down his entire body, his luxurious Qi robes sliced to utter bits. One can see spots of his ruined flesh, showcasing his bloodstained bones, making for a chilling sight.
But, despite his battle damage, Liang He still looked threatening because of the intense orange Fire Aura shrouding his entire body.
Liang He unleashed his Soul Form! And as his strength increased, a maddening look swirled in his eyes.
His smile turned crazed as he shouted, "If I'm going to die, you will come with me!!"
Without any hesitation, Liang He bit down on his tongue, burning his purest blood essence!
In that moment, Liang He's prowess exploded like a volcano, reaching heights he would never be able to normally reach.
"Hm? Combusting your blood essence, huh? Let's see it then." Under Liang He's blood-combusted Aura, Cain remained calm.
To burn one's blood essence allows any Martial Cultivator strength to rise by at least ten degrees! And depending on how pure one's bloodline is, burning blood essence can elevate combat strength by several times more!
The trade of this would be directly damaging your vitality and cultivation foundation.
If one's mortal body holds an abundance of power it wasn't meant to, the strain is experienced would be too immense. Their Qi Origin Seed would crack, causing one's cultivating to permanently stall or perhaps even significantly drop!
To make up for lost blood essence wasn't easy at all, and this move was only made in an actual life-or-death situation.
And Liang He was in such a situation now.
He didn't care what happened to him. The only thing that matters is to drag Cain to the underworld with him!
"Blazing Spear!"
Gripping his hands, Liang He summoned a spear made entirely out of pure Fire Energy.
As he displayed one of his most powerful Martial Skills, the ground sizzled beneath him, and the air torched to a crisp.
Loudly shouting, Liang He tossed the Blazing Spear towards Cain with all his strength!
The Blazing Spear soared at lightning speeds, far surpassing the limits of a half-step Innate Lord powerhouse. Perhaps, even a completed Early Stage Innate Lord expert would only be able to barely react to this speed and power.
After all, Liang He combusted all of his blood essences. If he were to live, he would barely be able to live for even a few more hours.
But in exchange, the prowess he can display would be absolutely monstrous!
Facing this all-out attack, Cain didn't do anything extra. His blood continues to boil under far greater pressure. He needed to directly fight!
If he did so, Cain felt like cultivation would experience a huge change.
Without any fear, Cain shot forward, his figure turning into a blur. Using nothing but his two fists, Cain struck the overwhelming Blazing Spear!
'Bang!'
With energy explosions erupting all over, Cain crushed the Blazing Spear into tiny wisps of flames!
The energy aftershocks rained down on Cain's body, but he forcefully withstood it. Closer and close, he sensed that his dantian was on the cusps of a natural battle breakthrough!
Seeing Cain destroy his Martial Skill so easily, Liang He finally lost it. He frantically punched his chest, overdrawing his blood essence to an extreme point.
After this, he wouldn't even live past two hours.
But Liang He didn't care in the slightest.
As his strength boosted once again, Liang He shot his hands to the skies, bellowing out, "Flowing Flaming Spear!"
Instantly, fiery Spear lights gushed from Liang He's palm, shooting high into the skies!
For dozens of meters, the whole sky was engulfed in a brilliant orange glow. Flame torched the atmosphere, creating a scene that looked almost hellish.
Within just a moment, hundreds of flaming spear lights filled the skies, converging right over Cain.
There was no avenue for Cain to escape from. He would need to take this attack head-on! This was essentially facing the attack of a powerful Early Stage Innate Lord!
Even the air rippling turned intense, causing visible fire lines to streak through the air.
Cain, however, didn't have any change of expression. Beckoning with his hand, he provocatively shouted, "Come on!"
And at his words, the fiery spear lights rained down at Cain like rain from the heavens.
Each fiery spear lights were as fast as any full-fledged Early Stage Innate Lord and emitted power eclipsing even talented Innate Lords!
Facing such an attack, Cain didn't unleash his Draconic Lightning Aura, Spiral Sword, or Soul Form. Instead, he stayed firm and tall, unwavering just like an indomitable sword.
When the fiery spear lights were merely just meters away from him, the energy pressure was at its highest.
And right then, Cain sensed a snapping noise burst from his dantian.
'Ka-Cha!'
In that moment, a shattering noise also occurred within his mental psyche, causing his Qi Seed to tremble and gush a terrifying wave of energy!
Because Cain's Martial Perception of Early Stage Profound Qi reached its absolute peak, he could feasibly breakthrough at any time.
But now, under the pressure of greater power laced with thick Killing Intent, Cain's Qi Seed compressed to its limit and perfectly shattered the Middle Stage barrier!
Cain had officially reached the Middle Stage Profound Soul Realm!
And in that very instance, his Qi Seed's breakthrough terrifying wave of energy clashed with the hundreds of fiery spear lights.
Then an unbelievable scene occurs.
'Ca, Ca, Ca, Ca!'
With just Cain's mere energy breakthrough, his Qi energy obliterated the fiery spear lights into tiny flaming wisps!
Despite Liang He's prowess being able to directly eclipse even a strong Early Stage Innate Lord, Cain's breakthrough strength, perfectly fused with his Astral, Spirit, and Chaos Spirit Force, far surpassed this.
As the fiery spear lights dispersed, Cain took an invisible step forward.
Under this step, space had no meaning to Cain. He instantly teleported right in front of Liang He.
Distance has no meaning under Chaos teleportation!
And Cain didn't give Liang He a chance to react, his fist shooting forward at unbelievable speed, piercing right through Liang He's heart!
Cain's fist shattered the protective Innate Lord Aura and tore through his Innate Lord chest, causing blood to shoot into the wind!
With his own fiendish grin, Cain clenched his hand, bursting Liang He's heart into a bloody mess.
Liang He's body trembles. Horror filled his face as the life faded from his blazing eyes.
A powerful, half-step Innate Lord who completely combusted his blood essence died under Cain's powerful hands within just a few moments.
With the deed done, Cain tore his hand out of his chest and tossed Liang He's corpse away like a broken rag doll.
Turning his attention over, Cain released his energy and began walking back over to Liang Tribe's grand hall.
As he walked over, he heard the frantic shouts of numerous Liang Tribe members.
"Ah-ah!! Le-leader!! He's dead! He's actually dead!!"
"And it was because of him! He-he doesn't even look he broke a sweat! Who is this demon?!?"
The Liang Tribe members collapsed to their knees.
Their Leader was their beacon of hope. Without him, their conquest just became hundreds of times more difficult! They even have the chance of completely falling off right here!
As Cain ignored the despairing shouts, he reached just a few meters from the building he jumped out of. When he approached, he felt the atmosphere turn incredibly chilling.
Looking up, Cain saw Kali and Amber peering down at him. The girls quickly jumped down, landing right before Cain.
Kali had a broad, satisfied grin plastering her face. While Amber was wryly smiling.
"I'm assuming you took care of all the supreme Elders, right?"
Cain asked while probing his senses just to make sure nothing accidental happened. He was secretly relieved to sense neither Kali nor Amber experienced any injuries.
In fact, Kali looked she barely broke a sweat, as if facing multiple enemies didn't challenge her at all.
As Cain was growing impressed with his inspection, Kali waved her hand, arrogantly scoffing as she said,
"Of course I did. None of them were even able to survive a few moves from me. My Draconinc Ice Energy is actually very suitable for multiple foes. As long they're not overtly stronger, my foes will have a true challenge breaking my Ice.. And as for those weaklings…heh, they were nice for a good workout."
