BXBX NOVEL Chapter 552 Against Another Spirit
As the Chaotic Emerald tore through the Ice Phoenix\'s skull, lights of Chaos energy continually revolved around it.
The mysterious energy principles of Chaos energy negated the Ice Phoenix\'s innate defenses. While the sheer density of the Chaotic Emerald itself was more than enough to break the Ice Phoenix\'s powerful skin.
Even Cain was a bit shocked at how effortlessly the Chaotic Emerald tore through the beast\'s skin.
Indeed, if he could show the Chaotic Emerald in regular battle, the jewel itself would be a powerful weapon to simply smash apart fleshly bodies!
Blue skin, icy blood, flesh, and bones splattered out of the Ice Phoenix\'s skull. Nothing could stop Chaos energy in the Ice Phoenix\'s current state.
The massive body of the Ice Phoenix suddenly jerked. Pain attempted to jolt the beast awake. But Chaos Illusion overrode the pain.
The Chaotic Emerald penetrated deep into the Ice Phoenix\'s brain. Once situated there, a magnetic force suddenly rippled out of the Chaotic Emerald.
The icy blood essence throughout the Ice Phoenix\'s body started to rapidly flowed towards the Chaotic Emerald!
From the 1st layer to the 3rd layer, the Chaos Skills Cain had gained were all related to combat. He never once got one purely for cultivation.
That is until the 4th layer.
The 4th layer special skill was Chaotic Storage! 70% of Chaos energy control allowed Cain to directly utilize the Chaotic Emerald itself.
With it, he could stimulate the Chaotic Emerald\'s magnetic force, pulling any kind of essence energy to store directly into it.
He could then pull out this essence energy for any kind of purpose!
With all the heaven-shattering ability of Chaos energy, Cain wasn\'t surprised by this one.
Cain could only make vague assumptions as of now. But, the idea that many essence energies had evolved from Chaos energy was beginning to take shape in his mind.
Chaos energy is certainly one of the foundational energies of the universe. Whether or not it mutated other essence energies is not entirely clear.
But, what is clear is that Chaos energy is at a higher level than nearly all other energy forces. Since it is a fact, it\'s only natural that Chaos energy can not only suppress but also control lower levels of essence energy.
The Ice Phoenix\'s blood essence, despite it being Primal Soverigen grandmaster level, is still only Ice Dao energy principles. It couldn\'t resist the magnetic pull of Chaos energy in the slightest.
The Chaotic Emerald worked at light speed. After only a second, 99% of the Ice Phoenix\'s remaining blood essence was stored in the Chaotic Emerald.
The Ice Phoenix\'s tremendous body violently jerked at this point. Chaos Illusion started to clear away.
But it was far too late.
The last bit of its blood essence was already stored in the Chaotic Emerald. Without any speck of blood in its massive body, the Ice Phoenix\'s life force rapidly withered away.
Throughout its entire time, the Ice Phoenix didn\'t even know how it died.
Cain tore his hands out of the Ice Phoenix and quickly stashed away the Chaotic Emerald. His body slightly swayed afterward. He truly needed to push Chaos energy to the absolute limits!
Utilizing Chaos energy against a force like the Ice Phoenix was far more taxing than he expected.
His Divine Sense swept over his body and Cain concluded, \'A full 50% of my soul energy reserves are gone. Thankfully, I can still fight at full power, but I should be a bit careful. It\'ll be over if I met another powerful being and all of my soul reserves get dried up.\'
At this time, when the Ice Phoenix\'s life aura completely dissipated, Lan Rui, Yulong, and Lin Zui held varying reactions.
Relief, utter joy, and admiration boomed in Lan Rui\'s and Yulong\'s eyes. While Lin Zui held genuine fear.
Yulong muttered out loud, "Dead! A Primal Soveirgen grandmaster beast actually died under Lee\'s hands! Even if the Supreme Elders were to hear about this, they would never believe it!"
No words could come from Lan Rui\'s mouth. The shock was just too much. Even as a sneak kill, this feat should be completely impossible. Yet, Cain overcame everything with seemingly great ease.
Amber was the only calm one among them. She slowly said, "Don\'t think too highly of this. He would\'ve got annihilated with just a mere breath from that beast. It\'s only that he utilized an Illusion Art that went effectively well with our powerful souls. Furthermore, Master gave us an item that can pierce through grandmasters and unleash a magnetic force for storage. This was basically master\'s doing technically."
"Still!" Yulong\'s expression didn\'t dim at all. "The mere fact that Lee can cultivate these skills to put a drop on the Ice Phoenix is too amazing! What should we-"
It was impossible for Yulong to finish her sentence. A certain pulse of Divine Aura rippled through the atmosphere.
At this time, Cain\'s pupils completely contracted to pin needle size. Genuine danger alerted from his soul!
Chaos energy faintly shrouded his body. He took an invisible step forward, instantly teleporting right in front of Amber and the others. His palms waved out at sound-breaking speed.
Draconic Lightning spewed out and instantly formed an impenetrable barrier around his team. Nearly all of Cain\'s powers had poured into the Draconic Lightning barrier.
Every trickle of lightning rippled with energy principles that minced apart the atmosphere.
But at the same time, overwhelming Ice essence energy principles smashed against Cain\'s Law atmosphere.
Brilliant sparks filled the air. Lightning and Ice essence minced against each other, cracking apart space into tiny dots.
"Hmph."
A cold snort, one filled with unending power, twisted the airwaves.
Only Cain and Amber could spot a long streak of Ice essence energy tearing through the space.
Such speed was completely beyond Lan Rui\'s and Lin Zui\'s capabilities!
The streak of Ice essence energy sunken right into the bloody open hole of the Ice Phoenix\'s skull.
Ice essence energy instantaneously spread through the Ice Phoenix\'s corpse. Its tremendous body was soon completely covered in crystalline ice. Large cracks rippled through the ice. Before everyone\'s eyes, the Ice Phoenix\'s corpse was cracked apart into thousands of tiny pieces!
"This..."
Everyone, including Cain and Amber, became tense. The power disturbing their Divine Sense wasn\'t anywhere near close to the grandmasters\' Vicious Beasts.
However, among the Divine Ruler realm, it was far stronger than the Peak Early Stage Ice Golem!
Lin Zui\'s eyes widened. Horror was in his tone. "Middle Stage Divine Ruler!"
A mere difference of one minor boundary stage was everything. If this was the mortal realm or earlier Divine cultivation, a minor boundary stage wouldn\'t be a tremendous disparity where the foe couldn\'t fight back at all.
But at the Divine Ruler realm and proceeding boundary stages, the prowess disparity becomes far too much!
After all, every minor boundary stage increase means that the powerhouse has greater control over the True Great Dao! The better the control, the more power one can exude.
Just a Middle Stage Divine Ruler would exude far more power with their Supreme Divine Laws and Dao Origins. If one can directly enhance their Supreme Divine Law comprehension, their prowess will take tremendous leaps forwards once again.
Against a Middle Stage Divine Ruler that now locked onto them, everyone was reasonably tense.
Amber transmitted to Cain, \'Couldn\'t your Chaos Sense detect whoever this was from miles away? And we can just make a clean getaway too, right?\'
\'It\'s not simple now. This creature\'s hiding ability is exceptional. It must\'ve come while I had all of my senses focused on the Ice Phoenix. I had no time to spread my concentration, allowing this beast to sneak up on us. As for teleporting out of here, while I don\'t fear a Mid Stage, making an escape also isn\'t simple. Three people who aren\'t in the Divine Ruler realm are fine. But the burden of Lin Zui and Lan Rui puts a heavier strain on my soul. Think of it like I\'m carrying large boulders instead of bricks now. And now, I don\'t want to waste soul energy. If we can\'t run away fast enough, I doubt this creature would just let us go, given it tried to sneak attack us. Let\'s just survey the situation.\'
Cain and Amber stayed reasonably calm. They watched as a familiar figure revealed itself just hundreds of meters apart from them. This figure made the duo slightly startled.
A strange person appeared before Cain\'s team.
The creature appeared humanoid, but its skin was completely blue with patches of ice shining at random places. Its eyes as well were completely vacant. Only a faint glow of Ice Laws shimmered within them.
This look was completely the same as the creature Cain and Amber encountered on their mission with Jin Ya!
Not just the duo, but the others had also identified the creature.
Lan Rui muttered, "A Nether Yin Spirit? Master told me these beings are very reclusive and rarely ever take the initiative to come out. Does it really want to attack us?"
Nobody in Cain\'s team made any sudden movements. A Mid Divine Ruler being could only possibly be dealt with by Cain and Amber in any case.
Lin Zui, Lan Rui, and Yulong know better than to make any useless moves.
The Nether Yin Spirit narrowed its eyes at Cain. "I\'m not sure how dodged the last attack or how you\'re defending against my atmosphere, but it\'s over now. Just obediently come over here!"
A luminous Ice glow shrouded the Nether Yin Spirit\'s entire body. The ground rumbled, airwaves became turbulent, and space violently shook.
The creature\'s Divine Aura rose to its pinnacle! Specks of air started to freeze at a greater rate. Nothing could escape the spread of Ice.
Even Cain\'s Law atmosphere felt faintly suppressed!
Everyone on Cain\'s team became even tenser. Cain judged, "Not just a Mid Divine Ruler, but at the peak stage!"
The temperature around them rapidly turned painfully cold. Coldness seeped through their protective Divine Auras, attempting to travel through their internal bodies.
Black Lightning faintly sparkled in Cain\'s eyes. His Spiritual Sea detected that the principles from this coldness would attempt to invade their Spiritual Sea!
Cain\'s expression was completely focused. A surge of terrifying killing intent suddenly burst from his eyes.
