“Your luck really is terrible, Dulong. He didn’t even look like he was paying attention when choosing you.” Huang Jaolong offered some condolences.
Her sentiments were shared with the other royal descendants.
“Haaah…since it is so, then I can only try my best. At least we are only exchanging one move. Surely it won’t be too bad.” Huang Dulong spoke as if to convince himself.
This mystic realm competition really was unique compared to the past.
Nobody here is stupid enough to underestimate the current prowess of Divine Mortals. They all witnessed Cain and Kali at the mere Sky Sage realm effortlessly crushing a 1sftfall Divine Origin geniuses who were nearing peak 1stfall prowess.
Now that they both reached the Sacred Sage realm, just how powerful are they now?
Even the sliver of their natural aura exuded an unfathomable depth the royal descendants couldn’t see through with their Divine Senses.
The outcome would be more than evident if Cain and Kali were to fight anyone of them. It is known that a Divine Mortal combat prowess never falls, only increasing to exponential levels.
So it would just be another humiliating stomp if this competition was a real duel.
The matter seemed straightforward to resolve if they were to just handpick the royal descendants.
But the Elder Huang Dragons didn’t want the royal descendants to just go under the radar.
They all know how eye-opening it is to truly experience a higher mountain in direct combat than watching from afar. It broadened their horizons and even allowed them to draw natural inspirations in their cultivation.
Thus, the competition is still being held, but Cain’s group will have the freedom to choose any challenger with the condition of only exchanging one move.
The Elder Huang Dragons had high expectations that a single overwhelming move could help broaden the royal descendants’ minds and perhaps even directly help with their cultivation.
Understanding this, Huang Dulong tightened his expression and leaped onto the battle stage.
Complete silence stifled the atmosphere.
Both Huang Dulong and even Cain felt a sludge of memories emerge as they stared into each other faces.
The once cultivation waste was now standing in a higher position than Huang Dulong. The one who was an ant to him could now truly look down on him. Above all, he could only accept all insults coming to him.
Huang Dulong suddenly took a deep breath. He could only suppress these maddening thoughts.
Cain, on the other hand, was actually seeing his older brother closely for the first time.
For a moment, a prickling sensation of fear attempted to emerge from the depths of his soul. Particularly nasty memories tried to cloud Cain’s mental state.
Evidently, this previous body held zero goodwill towards Huang Dulong.
In this situation, it would be understandable if Cain felt any justifiable anger towards him.
But, Cain simply focused his mind, silently destroying these little fearful emotions from his soul.
What was done in the past stays in the past.
Cain didn’t care what Huang Dulong did to the previous body. He only cared if Huang Dulong had the potential to become a useful ally, just like Xun.
Any little help can be a great resource if he ever wants to achieve his true freedom goal in the far future.
Admist the stifling silence, Cain lightly smiled.
Such a smile caused Huang Dulong to feel slight shivers.
And at this moment, Shi Wei’s melodic voice sounded out. “Begin!”
‘Draconic Fire Aura!’
‘Soul Form!’
With a massive bang like a volcano erupting, Huang Dulong unleashed 100% of his strength!
A fire energy aura shrouded his body as his appearance changed.
Fire Draconic Wings tore out from his back, and at his hands, the fire energy aura shifted into the appearance of Draconic Claws.
Huang Dulong’s Divine aura discharged like a whirlwind. Specks of red hot fire slew around, creating a scene akin to beautiful fireworks.
Huang Dulong then quickly raised his hand, surging both Divine Qi and Fire Law Marks towards the center of his palm.
He revolved his energies to the absolute limit, nearly to the point where cracks split his hand. All of his strength was used, causing his reserves capacity to drop to the depths of the abyss.
In a moment, he rapidly formed a massive fire Draconic energy Claw from his palm!
‘Draconic Fire Claw!’
The massive fire Draconinc Claw blasted right towards Cain with an unstoppable momentum!
𝓞𝔳𝑙xt.𝒸𝞸𝓶
This was a level of prowess from a 3rdFall Divine Origin genius. His trike had even surpassed the standard of 3rdFall and reached into 4thFall!
Visible lights of red fire streaks were literally melting the air into particle dust. The fire Draocninc Claw speed was utterly terrifying.
In the face of such an overwhelming strike, Cain casually raised his hand. At the same time, the Chaos Spirit Force erupted, his Soul Form activated, and his Draocninc Lightning Arts revolved at full force.
As his appearance transformed, Cain’s aura powerfully erupted, suppressing the overwhelming momentum of Huang Dulong’s genius Divine aura.
Then, punching out his fist, Cain unleashed an equally massive Draconinc Lightning Claw!
Cain’s Draconic Lightning Claw sailed even faster than the Draconic Fire Claw, blitzing at speeds nearly naked to the royal descendants’ eyes.
‘Chiii~!’
With a loud tearing noise, the Draconic Lightning Claw directly overpowered the Draconic Fire Claw, tearing it to shreds.
The Draconic Lightning Claw continues unhindered towards Huang Dulong.
Huang Dulong’s pupils shrink to pin needle sizes. He didn’t think, instinctively reacting as he slammed his fire claws onto the battle stage.
A surge of fire spread beneath him and then rose into several pillars of flame. It was like a curtain of flames erected to protect Huang Dulong.
This was a defensive Art of Huang Dulong. It was equally as powerful as his offensive Martial Skill.
But, such defenses meant nothing against Cain’s full power.
The Draconic Lightning Claw clashed into the pillars of fire, instantly vaporizing each of them into tiny particles of fire lights.
Continuing unhindered like a war beast, the Draconic Lightning Claw exploded right onto Huang Dulong’s bewildered face.
‘Bang!’
Lightning streaked out like a whirlwind with fresh crimson blood mixed within.
At the same time, Huang Dulong emitted a miserable cry as he flew back near the speed of sound.
The royal descendants couldn’t even correctly react.
Just a moment later, they all heard a loud crash of flesh violently smacking a wall.
Turning around, the royal descendants slightly widen their eyes.
Huang Dulong had crashed into one of the pillars and slumped to the ground like a broken rag-doll.
His soul form had already dispersed. Blood continually pooled down from his mouth, nearly drenching his Dragon robes. His body sparsely twitched as flashes of lightning occasionally sparkled.
The royal descendants couldn’t take their eyes off such a scene.
A genius who can fight above one small boundary, who used all of his strength, couldn’t withstand a single move!
This was the true prowess of a Divine Mortal!
And even for the royal descendants, it was simple for them to understand. There are separations of the power of Divine Qi and Divine Source Laws.
In the Divine Origin Realm, the possible standard one can utilize Divine Qi, and Divine Source Laws is at most 10%. But 10% was only for the absolute peak of the Divine Origin Realm.
Huang Dulong was at the 3rdfall Stage, meaning he could only utilize around 3% of Divine Qi power. While the amount of power he could grasp from Divine Source Laws depended on his comprehension, which was also at 3%.
On paper, 3% didn’t seem like much at all. But when compared to Sacred Sage Qi and Major Law essence, the difference was like Heaven and Earth.
3% of Divine energies is at least thousands of times greater than even peak Sacred Sage Qi and Major Law essence!
Adding on to this, when Huang Dulong used every ounce of his energy in his internal body, from his Soul’s Core, Inner World, and Law Marks, it amplified his prowess by 5 times, allowing him to achieve the prowess of an ordinary 4thfall Divine Origin expert.
Yet, even with all of his energy amplification, Cain’s amplified prowess was far too overwhelming.
The royal descendants could roughly estimate that Cain is at least overall twenty times stronger than Huang Dulong!
And it must be remembered that Cain is only at Early Stage Sacred Sage realm. As of now, his prowess may be no less than a Great Divine Sea warrior who broke through from a 5thfall Divine Origin cultivation.
Or perhaps he can even match a 6thfall Divine Origin genius!
Either way, the royal descendants realized the kind of chasm separating them and Cain.
They all felt incredibly odd.
Instead of their previous wariness and fear, they felt weirdly calm when knowing just how much unsurpassable difference there is. Almost like they were gradually realizing how broad Martial cultivation truly is.
But before anything significant could develop, Kali leaped onto the battle stage, laughing wildly with disdain as she said, “Hehehe! Seems like you finally understand. But Cain held back a bit too much. Let me show you the real fear of a Divine Mortal!”
Arrogance mixed in with savagery swirled out of Kali’s tone like a storm. She was different from Cain.
He, for some reason, can let go of past resentment.
But Kali knows there’s no way in hell she will let everything just go under the rug!
Her pride blazed in icy fury as she emitted a mighty battle cry. Her soul form activated, and her Ice Draconic aura shrouded her body.
Kali’s aura surged in an overwhelming momentum, turning the atmosphere into a freezing chill.
“Kali, you–!”
The royal descendants were all fraught with shock, their bodies painfully shivering nonstop.
The cold atmosphere released frost energy that penetrated through their defenses and emitted chaotic Ice Law essence throughout their internal body.
Even Huang Zilong, a 5thfall Divine Origin genius with prowess equal to 6thfall, couldn’t resist it.
Without warning, they all erupted their Inner World, surging their Divine auras to ward off the frost energy. They simultaneously suppressed the Ice essence rampaging throughout their internal body.
Kali’s smile only turns crueler when seeing them resist.
She pointed her finger towards Huang Jaolong and coldly spoke, “I suggest for you all to clear away. Jaolong! Take just one of my moves!”
