The Chaos Dragon Prince

Seeing how calm the duo were, especially Cain's causal smile, Du Hu refocused her intent pressure specifically on Cain.

A subtle killing intent attempted to prick in and assault Cain's mind. His eyebrows curled while his eyes gleamed in a chilling, cold light.

Something like this, especially from a Late Stage Divine Star expert, could certainly seriously disturb a cultivator's thoughts and confidence. It would be a powerful mental attack if a cultivator's Divine Will wasn't firm as the one projecting the killing intent.

A cultivator's fortitude plays an immensely huge part in all aspects of cultivation. Whether its regular cultivation or battle, the state of a Divine Will can be a strong turning point.

For a crazily determined person like Cain, any killing intent he ever experienced was like a light breeze that only tickled the skin.

Though Cain didn't doubt if it was a genius on a similar level to Du Hu, they would inevitably fall into her trap.

Evidently, Du Hu has more mastery over her soul than the ordinary cultivator. The subtle pressure of her soul would even be enough to smash apart a Divine Origin cultivator's Will to utter pieces.

Unfortunately, no matter the minor attainments Du Hu had managed to scourge up, it couldn't possibly match his own Divine Art of the soul!

With her little failed attempt, Du Hu's brows subconsciously narrowed. She could feel the tension building and could just tell things were about to become dangerous.

Cain's confidence surged as he boldly said, "That's no problem with me. I prefer to settle everything sooner rather than later."

Du Hu crossed her arms, coldly snorting, "I hope you don't come to regret this decision."

The arrogance and confidence etched in her bones were fully released. Nothing would be able to dissuade her from this practical death battle. Her own Divine Will wouldn't allow her to do so.

But Du Hu did her Demon Tao's sent a concern sound transmission to her.

'Remember, don't underestimate Lee for even a second. I'm not sure, but I have reason to believe he may have even intentionally left my group's lives for information or another reason. If you have to kill, don't hesitate! Lord Wen Shao can handle the aftermath.'

'Got it.' Du Hu replied in a seemingly even tone. In the back of her mind, it felt a bit ludicrous that she, a Late Stage Divine Star expert, needs to treat an Early Stage, Great Divine sea cultivator, with so much caution.

But with all those battle ring recordings of Cain, there was no other option but to do so. Moreover, Du Hu couldn't suppress this strange sensation swirling deep within her soul.

In that moment, among the rising tide of the crowd and the Cloudsea's geniuses rising killing intent, Cain only heard Zhou Ling transmit a message to him.

'Sir Lee...are you absolutely sure this is okay? In the end, Du Hu is still a Middle Stage genius with upper-tier Late Stage prowess! You couldn't have broken through to Great Divine Sea not too long ago, right? This maybe-'

'Stop worrying. By this point, Amber still hasn't said anything because she has complete faith in me. Just sit back and watch.'

Goaded by Cain's words, Zhou Ling did look over to see how Amber remained completely calm.

A bored gleam was evident within her eyes as she gave the Cloudsea's geniuses a look over. She appeared with such bored confidence that looked as if she could face Du Hu herself.

Of course, Amber wouldn't bother expanding this much energy on this tense-filled situation. But if she had to, Amber would have no problem striking down annoyances in her way.

It was at this point that Zhou Ping recalled how he should stop applying common sense to this marvelous duo. Whenever they do anything, they would succeed despite the overwhelming odds.

The longer he thought about it, the more Zhou Ping's confidence surged.

In direct contrast, Zhou Ling couldn't stop a sinking sensation deep within his gut.

If Du Hu can win, his status, whether in Cloudsea's eyes or the Zhou Family, will tremendously increase. Losing, then his life will only become increasingly suffocated than it already is.

All of his hopes had to be placed upon the seemingly invincible might of Holy Land geniuses.

Although, while Du Hu and Demon Tao showcased a confident front, neither of them could suppress tension from wracking their bodies.

....

The Zhou manor's battle arena 1 was currently jampacked. Tens of thousands of Zhou Family people, whether they were the younger generation or the older generation, a large portion of the entire estate gathered here.

Recording rings were out and attentions were at an all-time here. After all, it's not every day one gets to witness a battle between a Holy Land genius and an Emperor Tier genius.

Moreover, it was a duel between a Great Divine Sea cultivator and a Divine Star expert!

The marvelous duo Lee and Xun's reputation has been thoroughly spread around the entire Zhou Family at this point. It was rarer to find a Zhou member who at least didn't hear of their names. With this duel, their fame will monstrously increase once again.

Surprisingly enough, though many allied with Du Hu on a pure fundamental reason, nobody dared to look down on Cain. Even with his far lower cultivation level, Cain was still painted in a generally positive light.

"Never would've guessed I would be alive to see an Inner Ranking disciple of a Holy Land fight! From what rumors told, Cloudsea Hu apparently never lost a day in her life. Even against other Late Stage Divine Star geniuses!"

"I've heard her alone could suppress Late Stages within a snap. Just what can Lee pull out at this point to counter that?"

"Whatever it is, this will be an interesting show!"

At this time, on the battle stage, two young people, both seemingly full of confidence, stood 500 feet apart from each other.

One side was the beautiful as a fairy, Du Hu.

While the other was the unassuming-looking Cain.

Neither side had anything to say to the other. All that needed to be said had already occurred during their first meeting.

Between both sides swirled unending killing intent.

Du Hu because she knows that this Lee guy was a genuine threat to all of Lord Wen Shao's faction.

While Cain simply wanted to clear away an annoyance, that's becoming too much of a thorn in his and Amber's side.

When the anticipating soaring through the battle arena reached its very peak, a booming voice announced the match.

"Begin!"

A radiant spark of green mixed with luminous blue lightning swirled within Cain's eyes. The Chaos Spirit Force, his Soul Form, and Draconic Lightning Aura erupted to near its limit!

Majestic Draconic Lightning boomed all around Cain like a thunderous storm. Each rippling sound of thunder smashed upon even Early Stage Divine Star cultivator's eardrums like a titanic boom.

If not for the Spirit barrier protecting, the sonic booms would've made weaker cultivators deaf!

"Th-this Lightning Law! It's so fierce!"

The audience was in pure awe. Even when Divine Star cultivators poured their Divine Sense into Cain's Lightning Laws principles, it was just a confusing and complex mess of energy sensations.

Such a phenomenon could only be possible if Cain's Divine Lightning Laws's comprehension far surpassed that of their Spiritual Sea's perception abilities!

On stage, Du Hu's expression turned completely grave. Her Divine Aura intensify, and the source of her Laws rippled through the air. Icy blue lights began to flash around her, distorting small sections of space.

Her hands went through rapid signs as boundless Ice Law essence surged out of her body. Terrifying streaks of cold engulf the atmosphere. A faint layer of frost started to cover the battle stage.

The Ice Law essence morphed into three phantom icy sword lights. Under Du Hu's control, the icy sword lights blasted forth with speeds invisible to many Divine Star cultivators' eyes.

These icy sword lights flew just slightly faster than lighting! Du Hu's expert Law control could make any casual attacks from her can erupt with great speed and power.

By just sensing the sensation of the icy sword's lights power, many Middle Stage Divine Star Elders felt slightly helpless. They would need to put forth all of their Inner World power and cultivation arts just to barely defend. Even then, the Elders weren't sure if they can escape even with a light injury.

Du Hu's late-stage comprehension of Divine Ice Law's essence is majestically displayed across the field.

'Oh? So that's it?' A small sneer hung of Cain's lips.

His finger flickered out three tiny streams of Draconic Lightning essence. Just these streams tore through the void with an overwhelming momentum!

It wasn't just a similar speed and power. The Draconic Lightning essence was simply dozens of times denser and thicker than Du Hu's icy sword lights!

'Bang!'

With a faint sound, both the Draconic Lightning essence and icy sword lights exploded into tiny ripples of Law energy.

Instantly afterward, the tiny ripples of Lightning Laws completely engulfed the Ice particles, directly dispersing them into nothingness.

"Lee really is as strong as Late Stage?!"

Even if it was just a causal attack on both sides, the sheer overwhelming difference already signified Cain's amazing prowess. He really is no less than a prime Holy Land genius!

In that moment, Du Hu's brows fiercely twisted. Her hands clenched as the previous sinking sensations only grew stronger at a rapid pace.

She wanted to truly summon her Inner World energy, but at that moment, her body suddenly froze. From both fear and pressure!

The presence of overwhelming Lightning Laws suddenly engulfed the entire stage.

With unending energy filling his body from his Great Divine Sea, Cain speedily waved his hand, to the point it became a blur in many eyes.

From his rapid motions, a massive wave of Draconic Lightning essence burst forth like a tidal wave.

The air trembled around the wave of Draconic Lightning essence. Its overwhelming size poured straight at Du Hu's small figure.
