There wasn’t a Dao Vicious beast waiting for him, but instead, some kind of horrifying creature.

The creature instantly imprinted into Cain’s mind.

It stood at a frightening height, looming over everything as if it would devour all that stood below it. Its face was a mix of something human-like but had features of the most savage beasts in the world.

Razor-sharp teeth protruded from its mouth, its eyes were beating blood-red, and its skin was tan with blood-red streaks all over its body.

The creature also had a suffocating natural presence. Not because it was too strong. But rather, it exuded a sickening deathly sensation.

Just being in its general vicinity felt as if death’s scythe was resting on your shoulders.

Cain couldn’t be more dumbfounded.

Just what kind of demonic creation is this?

And right that moment, the demonic creature fully regarded Cain’s presence.

The demonic creature’s face turned vicious, its mouth open to unleash an ear-piercing screech!

“Kee!!”

As the demonic creature screeched, its body emitted a chilling red essence glow.

The sickening sensation grew within Cain when that red essence came out. He honestly felt a puking sensation crawl up his throat.

Never before had Cain been so disgusted with another lifeform. It made him pause for a whole moment.

The demonic creature took hold of the split opportunity.

Its mouth split open, and like a fire hydrant, it unleashed a wave of the same chilling red essence.

The red essence went as wide as an oceanic wave while also discharging the power of an upper-tier Divine Origin 5thfall expert!

The space around Cain gradually tightened. With just his soul form, he had no way to doge.

But Cain didn’t want to waste time with whatever the hell this creature was.

Cain’s Chaos energy surged. A green aura shrouded his body as he took a mysterious step forward.

And with just a step, space shattered around Cain. He instantly teleported through the void space, completely avoiding the red essence wave and appearing meters before the demonic creature!

‘Draconic Lightning aura!’ ‘Chaos Spirit Force!’

Cain erupted with his most powerful techniques. His lightning energy aura formed as faint green lights of Chaos energy sparked within his pupils.

At the same time, Cain summoned a Master Grade True Spirit Spiral Sword.

Finally, after all this time, Cain upgraded from his golden spiritual sword. And with this new Master Grade weapon, his prowess surged beyond his previous peak!

The sinister demonic creature completely stilted for a moment. It couldn’t feasibly react to Cain’s sudden teleportation.

The rate of thoughts within its Spiritual Sea was already slower than an average human, to begin with. And now, faced with the unexpected, it couldn’t put up any extra defense.

The demonic creature could only raise its large horrifying claw on pure danger instincts.

Cain indifferently swung his spiral sword at light speed, clashing head-on with his absolute full power!

‘Bang!’

A loud explosion reverberated along with a terrifying qi energy shockwave.

The demonic creature flew at blinding speed from a resounding force. Pain wracked him as Cain’s invading energy wreaked utter havoc in its internal body.

At the same time, Cain felt as if he had just struck the most powerful metal. His arm went slightly numb, but he ignored the sensation.𝑂𝓥𝓛xt.𝗇𝓔t

Cain rushed in on the demonic creature, his Draconic Lightning energy brilliantly surging.

Streaks of Draconic lightning shot forward, attempting to bind the demonic creature.

Sailing mid-air, the demonic creature suddenly stopped its momentum. Its face turned even more terrifying as utterly savage killing intent morphed its expression!

The demonic creature planted its foot through the ground, smashing apart the earth with ease.

On its large demonic claws, strange patterns appeared and instantly gleamed a blinding crimson glow.

It promptly clasps its claw together, causing a violent pulse of energy to rumble the air. The resounding force of the creature’s claws’ clashes caused a massive blood-red skull to hurdle out.

Ear-piercing wails sounded out as the blood-red skull soared forth. It was like an attack from hell.

The anguish cries of the creature’s previous victims combined together for a sickening attack!

Cain furrowed his brows but didn’t stop his charge.

The tip of his spiral sword sparkled a small dazzling lightning dot. The lightning dot pulsated and unleashed an equally massive Draconinc Lightning Claw.

Even before clashing, the Draoncinc Lightning Claw’s aura suppressed the blood-red skull’s phantom wails.

Draconic lightning dominated the creature’s power; there wasn’t anything that could stop its unstoppable force!

With a staggering bang, the Draconic Lightning Claw tore through the blood-red skull, shredding it into particles of lights.

The Draconic Lightning unstoppable decent smashed upon the demonic creature in a violent lightning explosion.

The terrifying shockwaves split open the ground for dozens of meters, and any nearby buildings crumbled to dust.

A copious amount of blood spurted out of the demonic creature. A massive gash appeared around its chest area. Its disgusting organs and white bones were visible for all to see.

With Chaos energy, Cain took another step forward, teleporting right above where the demonic creature crashed into the ground.

The moment Cain appeared, the severely injured demonic creature suddenly opened its eyes to the point it tore its face!

A blinding, blood-red flash sparkled and engulfed Cain’s entire vision.

Cain completely froze. A force invaded directly into his soul’s space and tried to affect his soul’s core.

But such a move was the creature’s final downfall.

Within Cain’s Soul’s Core, the Chaotic Emerald violently pulsated, unleashing a green flashbang of Chaos energy!

The demonic creature’s opposing force was instantly wiped away.

Cain broke from his restraint, feeling a slight chill crawl down his back.

This creature can’t be allowed to live any longer!

Cain promptly swung his spiral sword through the demonic creature’s neck, tearing through its tough skin, flesh, and bones.

With one smooth stroke, Cain beheaded the creature, causing a geyser of blood to shoot out of its headless neck.

When sensing the creature’s lifeforce completely disappear, Cain finally took a light sigh. His brows tightened in extreme thoughts. He didn’t dare to recall his prowess as he quickly contemplated that last fight.

‘Just what the hell was that? I’m sure no other human or even a Dao beast creates such a killing intent. If I didn’t have a stronger mental state, I don’t doubt I would’ve froze up in fear.’

Cain could feel a single drop of cold sweat slowly trail down his brows.

That fight lasted mere minutes at most, and only a few moves were exchanged. But, throughout the whole duration, Cain needed to use his absolute full power. He nearly had to put all of his Martial Skills out.

Because if he had been just a slight second slower, that demonic creature could have possibly severely injured him!

And if it could make Cain feel a massive threat, he had no doubt it could easily wipe away any 5thfall or ordinary 6thfall genius.

This line of thought caused a sense of apprehension to arise.

Kali is still slightly weaker than him, but she would be able to hold her own before escaping.

Amber, however…Cain perish the thought of her running into a creature like this.

For a moment, Cain felt a desire to go out and find Amber right now. He jumped off the demonic creature, ready to leave this island.

But as he did so, his Spirit Sense pulsated. His Spiritual Sea alerted him to something with potent Divine essence not too far away from him.

Cain turned his gaze back over, staring at the treasure podium meters away. The feeling of temptation broke within him.

Cain stood still for a moment, going into quick contemplation. Soul energy rinsed into his Spiritual Sea to ease up his mental state and clear up his disordered thoughts.

In that moment, Cain recalled Amber’s quiet determination to come here. She certainly isn’t so weak that she would automatically need his help. Moreover, her intelligence is incredibly high to outwit a perilous situation.

Amber can definitely hold her own in the outer ridge. Although, if she were to go into the inner ridge, that would be a massive problem.

‘In any case, I’m the only freak here that can dominate powerful creatures like this. And since I’m here, might as well not let this treasure go to waste.’

Cain quickly made up his mind. He set his eyes on the treasure podium and took one step forward.

The moment his foot touched the ground, a potent cold sensation struck Cain’s Spiritual Sea. He paused, his mind finally back into slight disorder.

A voice had suddenly loudly reverberated within his Spiritual Sea.

The voice sounded ancient and slightly feeble. It was like an old man on his last, dying breath.

But even with that, an unfathomable presence gushed from the voice. It made it possible for anyone listening to ignore it.

Cain only heard one word from the voice. It said, ‘Risk….’

After hearing it once, the word risk started to slowly chant. The chanting never got louder or faster but stayed repeated at a consistent rate.

Should I go on? Should I leave?

Just what kind of risk would it be?

Can it be another life-threatening risk?

These thoughts buzzed within Cain’s mind. It heavily affected him to the point his resolve slightly faltered. It really did seem like a better idea to give up and go backward. A pathway that takes the least amount of unnecessary risks.

These thoughts were logical and the path to least resistance. And as Cain deeply thought about them, his eyes suddenly flashed a gleaming spark of Draconic Lightning energy! His previous wish-washy mood cleared away instantly.

Cain forcefully suppressed the turbulent mood brought by this odd cold sensation through sheer willpower.

He then coldly snorted, flapped his wings, and soared forward at blitzing speed!
