Chapter 400 First Duel

The Ming Family battle coliseum truly was vast. It could hold numerous battle arenas, each dozen of miles wide very easily. Moreover, the battle stages themselves were a few miles along.

This was certainly needed, considering Great Divine Sea warriors all have potent destructive force from their attacks.

At battle stage 4, a bigger crowd than usual was present. Tens of thousands of people showed up for what was supposed to be a highly entertaining show.

The crowd was already discussing just one-sided this battle will be.

On the left side large battle stage, looking as ordinary as ever, was Cain calmly standing. He stood upright with his head held higher than the stars even among all the jeers.

His mind already calculated how this battle will go down. As long as he doesn’t use everything in his arsenal, his cover won’t be blown.

But even then, Chao doubts he’ll need to try very hard for a mere Late Great Divine Sea expert. A small smile flashed on his lips that exuded a supreme air of confidence.

This kind of confidence wasn’t appreciated by the foe across from Cain.

Standing tall and proud as well was a sharp-looking man. He radiated danger by his very presence. It was as if he was a true sword waiting to be unsealed out of its scabbard.

Strapped to his back was an actual long sword that only amplified his dangerous, sharp presence. This man’s Divine Aura was incomparably firm and thick as the ocean.

No other Great Divine Sea warriors Cain faced before could match this.

If an Early Great Divine Sea were to even come close to this man’s aura, they would have a hard time controlling their breath.

This man was ranked 150 out of the whole battle arena, Luo Shi.

Luo Shi never bothers to waste words before the battle. But that small smile on Cain’s lips truly irked him. It was as if he believed this battle was already in his ballpark.

Luo Shi spoke in a quiet tone, but still had a mysterious presence to drill into anyone’s ears. “You…you seem quite confident.”

Chao’s smile didn’t change as he shrugged. “Why wouldn’t I be? Well, explaining further is useless. You all will soon understand clearly.”

That response only increased Luo Shi’s annoyances. Wordlessly, he slowly drew out the black color sword from his scabbard, his Divine Aura elevating by several degrees.

At this time, high above the general audience crowd, was a private section that was far more spacious and luxurious than any other part of the coliseum. To gain access at this point requires one to be a Zhou Family direct bloodline descendent.

Inside this section were Zhou Ping and Zhou Pei.

Zhou Ping sat with his same calm, confident expression while observing the battle stage.

Separated by a reasonable distance, Zhou Pei leveled a suspicious gaze at his brother. He directly asked, “Just what sort of trick are you playing at? If this kid truly has the prowess to eclipse an entire realm, that’s practically a future Divine Decree Lord in the making. If his prowess increases along with his cultivation, that would be the most terrifying outcome. But…just how can some random, no-name person achieve this? This kid would need not only natural talent but an abundance of other top-grade resources to perfect his cultivation. So really, just who is this kid?”

“Oh? Now you’re taking serious interest without your usual flare? Truly, no honestly. I’m a bit surprised at this.” Zhou Ping sarcastically said, an amused smile hanging off his lips.

“Hmph.” Zhou Pei snorted with disdain as the same pride filled his face. “Even you aren’t foolish enough to waste everyone’s time. And if these kids could truly succeed, the waves it will cause won’t be small at all.”

Zhou Ping lightly chuckled. He relaxed back in his seat, putting his hands behind his head without a care in the world. “Don’t you think I already consider that? But just watch. Everything will soon make sense.”

Knowing that he won’t get any more answers, Zhou Pei tossed his gaze towards the battle stage, doubts and suspicion still filling his face.

The surrounding audience was already restless even before the battle began.

When the excitement reached its peak, a referee high above the skies suddenly announced,

“Ready…Begin!”

Right at the beginning of the battle, without needing to worry about anything, a tremendous amount of energy erupted from Cain’s body. His smile wildly broadened as his battle intent roared like a crazy storm.

Using his full power wasn’t an option. But close to his full force was a simple task that barely drained him of energy.

His Chaos Spirit Force erupted to 80% of its full strength. Draconic Lightning essence burst out of Cain’s body and instantly converged into a glorious energy aura.

With a loud sound equivalent to a bomb exploding, Cain’s power frantically released throughout the entire battle arena!

The divine stone beneath Cain burst open, causing specks of stones to shoot up and into the wind. Spiderweb cracks split down the battle stage for dozens of meters.

Cain’s Divine Aura fused with 80% Chaos Spirit Force and Draconic Lightning essence engulfed every single person in the battle arena.

The dense amplification of his energy felt deeper in the ocean!

‘Th-this…’

The surrounding audience, people who wanted to watch a good show, all shut up.

Early Great Divine Sea warriors couldn’t speak at all from an unbearable pressure. Middle Great Divine Sea experts clutched down on their chest from tight suffocation. And even other Late Great Divine Sea experts could feel the sweat pour down their faces as their expressions locked up.

Even Zhou Pei stiffened in his seat completely. All arrogance and disdain vanished from his expression.

However, the one who experienced the worst of this Divine Aura pressure was Luo Shi. No disdain or arrogance clouded Luo Shi’s mind anymore.

The pressure on his body was unbelievable! It was as if a mountain was smashing right towards him.

How could some ordinary guy have this kind of power couldn’t be asked now. Luo Shi knew he had to pour his all into this battle!

His expression was ferocious as he violently gripped down on his Master Grade True Spirit Sword, activating his Divine Sword Art and madly revolving all energies out of his Inner World.

Luo Shi’s Divine Aura erupted to its very limit. Black Sword essence flickered out and converged around his blade.

But even this barely helped against Cain’s overwhelming Divine might.

Cain didn’t bring out a weapon or perform a Martial skill. With one step forward, he burst off the ground with a loud sonic boom.

That sonic boom rattled everyone’s eardrums. A frantic wave of powerful air pressure swamped the entire battle arena and even sliced chucks off the battle stage.

Cain was a bright stream of blue light as he flashed towards Luo Shi. His lightning-encased fist swung out.

Dense Divine Lightning Laws and Divine Qi fused together as they burst out of Cain’s fist. It swirled around the Luo Shi, entrapping him into a locked space!

Luo Shi’s expression was grimmer than the abyss. His Spiritual Sea only had a mere second to react.

With his only option to strike head-on, Luo Shi erupted with a Martial Skill.

“Sword Splicer!”

The black glow on his True Spirit Sword intensity as it swung out at blinding speeds. It left faint afterimages of trails that naked eyes wouldn’t be able to catch.

His full power strike smashed right into Cain’s overwhelming fist.

‘Bang!!’

Energy combusted into violent storms. The terrifying shock blew open small holes on the battle stage and small tearing in Space Laws sparsely appeared.

The energy collision force smashed onto Cain’s body without any effect. He barreled through like an unstoppable war god!

As for Luo Shi, his protective Divine Aura already shattered apart from the energy force. A numb sensation coursed through his sword-wielding arm.

He was forced heavy steps back as blood swelled in his mouth.

Just one fist can be this powerful?!

Luo Shi was now completely horrified. His Divine Sword Laws fused with Divine Qi dispersed near instantly! Even his Martial skill shattered apart like glass.

Even if his a 5thfall stage with 50 essence marks thickening his energy, it is all mere child’s play against Cain’s fist.

But this wasn’t the end for Luo Shi. The sensation of tremendous danger frantically pulsated within his soul. When looking up, his eyes widened to the point it nearly cracked open his eye sockets.

Luo Shi needed to deal with the violent invading energy force within his internal body and Inner World. He had zero ways to further defend against another attack!

Cain’s lightning-encased fist violently smashed Luo Shi’s chest, breaking apart every inch of his innate defenses.

Luo Shi miserably wailed as he was sent flying black like a rag doll. A mouthful of blood vomited from his mouth. The bones within his chest cracked open and several organs of his ruptured from the fist force and invading Draconic Lightning’s essence.

Pain assaulted every inch of Luo Shi’s senses. However, he didn’t helplessly smash to the floor.

While in mid-air, Luo Shi bit down on his tongue, burning a portion of his blood essence! The condensed crimson blood sprayed onto his body and sword, causing his strength forcibly rise.

Luo Shi forced past the aching pain, flipped over his body, and smashed his feet into the Divine Stone.

His True Spirit Sword raised to the skies as he uttered out in a frantic roar.

“Dragon Sword Spirals!!”

The black glow on the blade crazily surged. Luo Shi swung his blade out, generating a force that made the air tremble and small cracks in space appear.

Divine Sword Law essence burst into the atmosphere. Its black essence glow flew high into the sky and rapidly converged into a beautiful image.

Before everyone’s eyes, Divine Sword’s essence transformed into hundreds of meters long black dragons!

The glorious image of several Dragons covered the heavens. In these essence Dragons’ mouths were long black essence swords.

Each Dragon wielding sword pulsated a tremendous amount of power. All of Luo Shi’s Divine Sword Law power fused into each dragon!

“This Martial Skill! It’s basically 5 full power strikes at the same time! His Divine Law control has already reached this degree. What a wonderful art!”

“But-but look at Luo Shi…he needed to combust his blood essence already. This…”

“In only two strikes, he was forced to the edge. How horrifying…”
