In Martial Cultivators' fights, one of the most critical factors is the Divine Laws and, later on, the Dao Laws of one's Inner World.
The power of Divine Laws and eventually Dao Laws are fundamental to any and all universes. After all, the Great Dao is the most essential factor that gives any and all universe life and energy. Through Laws could anyone surpass that of the entire universe.
No matter how much raw power anyone can gather, the power of Laws can be a critical factor in any fight.
Elder Heng and Hon may have lived for tens of thousands of years already, but they honestly never felt so enthralled from a junior. It was almost as if all other geniuses started to pale in comparison to Cain.
The suppression of Divine Laws was considerably, and sometimes, far more impressive than raw power.
If Cain and Delan were to fight based purely on Divine Law comprehension, Cain would not only win, but possibly outmatch Delan in every way.
And Delan's Divine Laws weren't ordinary at all. He was only a fine line away from achieving the Supreme Divine Law state!
The power that mighty Divine Rulers utilize and can suppress genuine worlds from the Divine Plane and Mortal realms were Supreme Divine Laws.
Such power took a massive step forward in comprehending the nomological truths within a Great Dao. It was something that all under the Divine Ruler realm can't possibly understand or match.
Even just slightly under the Supreme Divine Law state, Delan could practically remain unbeatable in terms of Divine Law comprehension alone.
Yet, even this unfathomable genius was easily and ruthlessly suppressed by Cain.
Above all, one must not forget Cain's base cultivation was only in the Great Divine Sea realm!
In this realm, his Spiritual Sea hasn't yet undergone increasing cultivation evolutions. But with just a Great Divine Sea Spiritual Sea, Cain could suppress all Divine Star geniuses.
This kind of future potential is utterly terrifying!
Elder Heng was full of smiles while Elder Hon's expression slowly turned gloomy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt this time, Amber, Jin Ya, Fan Fu, and Ren Bao had all of their attention on Cain.
An as-expected expression plastered Amber's face as she wryly smiled.
While Jin Ya, Fan Fu, and Ren Bao completely froze over in horror, shock, and pure awe. Seeing things in real time would always be superior to watching through an energy recording.
The feel of Cain's power, the way his energy contains many complex principles, the way he utterly crushes his opponent, it was all enthralling!
Before, Jin Ya, Fan Fu, and Ren Bao could say they held great respect for Cain and had a drive to one day match his cultivation.
Now, they gave up thoughts of comparing themselves to him. He simply was a freak that can't be counted in the same generation!
Jin Ya's thoughts went even further beyond her companions. As wholeheartedly devoted to Martial cultivation as she is, Cain appeared like the brightest shining stars filled with countless mysteries.
If she could one day learn from him, her cultivation will certainly see great improvements!
While others were in awe, Cain, who appeared calm on the surface, was actually in deep thought. Never for a second did he believe he would've lost that battle.
But there was something distinct he noticed about Delan's Demonic Laws.
The superiority of his Demonic Laws wasn't as simple as a greater range of power. But rather, a fundamental difference that gave it a superior edge over all other Divine Star warriors.
It was as if Delan's Divine Laws were the skies, while all others under him were barely anything more than mud covering the soil. The difference was so extreme that it was like a completely separate world.
Pondering on the battle, Cain had analyzed that his Lightning Laws could only cause Delan's Demonic Law to be suppressed because of its fusion with Draconic Lightning.
It was more accurate to say that what Cain utilizes isn't regular Laws but the mutated energy force of Dragon God's blood essence and Divine Lightning Laws. Through this, could his Draconic Lightning essence cause a fundamental suppression of Delan's Demonic Laws.
This news was intriguing to Cain. He didn't think that it would be so complex when wanting to face a Divine Ruler with a Great Divine Sea cultivation base. But if he didn't outright suppress Delan's Demonic Laws, Cain would've found it a bit hard to win, no matter how much he increased the density of his Inner World energies.
Suddenly, in the midst of everyone's thoughts, a Divine Aura blared out and swept through the entire battle arena.
A smile crossed Elder Hon's face while Elder Heng's expression darkened even more.
A young, elegant youth could be seen floating in the skies. His presence was seemingly unfathomable to all those weaker than him and faintly superior to Delan's transformed state.
As everyone put their attention on him, the youth calmly said, "Martial brother Lee, that fight was truly eye-opening. You're every bit of what the recording ring shows and even more so! It's an honor to you have you and Martial sister Xun in our sect."
The one who elegantly spoke and maintained a considerable, dominating presence even against the Holy King masters was indeed the half-step Divine Ruler genius Jiang Ling.
In that moment, Elder Hon becomes even further pleased with Jiang Ling's appearance while Elder Heng's mood worsens by the second.
'Of course, he must be around when it's concerning pressing matters. How regrettably, but there's nothing that can be done, for now...' Elder Hon's dark face cleared up in an instant as if his emotions had never wavered.
Perhaps if Jiang Ling didn't come, there would've been a chance for him to cause further trouble because of the death of a prime genius.
However, just like Du Hu, Jiang Ling prevented any further consequences from taking place.
It is not the fact that Cloudsea Holy Land doesn't take care of its own. From numerous stories and past events, it is widely known Cloudsea greatly protects its own.
In fact, it's a similar sentiment among other high-tier Holy Lands, Quasi-Heavenly Great Worlds, and full Heavenly Great Worlds.
These peak organizations stand at the very summit of the entire universe. Above millions, if not billions, of other powerful Martial cultivators and World Spirit Masters.
To these peak organizations, a loss of a genius is worth a costly amount, certainly above the lives they consider lower than themselves.
When trouble befalls a Holy Land genius, it was impossible for a Holy Land to not apply this invisible pressure.
However, this all falls flat when the opposer already has extremely high connections within the same Holy Land.
The title of a Divine Decree Lord isn't just for show. No matter whether Cain continued to kill off prime geniuses with their own unique family background or a Cloudsea Elder in the flesh, nobody will be able to openly touch Cain.
It was accurate to say that the massive faction Divine Decree Lord Wen Dao have, safely shields Cain and Amber from life-threatening, internal conflict.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven so, in Elder Hon's eyes and really Wen Dao's faction, this was merely a minor setback.
Success can rarely be achieved in one fell sweep. There was always a time for a more perfect plan. Elder Hon's slightly dark face instantly cleared up.
Before anything else, Elder Hon calmly greeted Jiang Ling and then nodded toward Elder Heng.
His tone was completely calm as he said, "Indeed, it's always an honor to gather immense talents. Since there is nothing else, I shall take my leave."
With a wave of his hand, Elder Hon casually broke apart space and vanished from sight through the Void Space.
A cold glint briefly flashed in Jiang Ling's eyes as he watched Elder Hon leave. He took great notice of his seemingly swift leave, but didn't try to pursue anything.
As for Elder Heng, she already put Elder Hon out of her mind for the moment. With a wave of her hand, she wrapped Cain and Amber with her unfathomable Aura and sent them up close to Jiang Ling.
Elder Heng brightly smiled at the duo and told them, "With this battle, there's no need for you two to stay in the main sect branch. The recording rings had already proven your immense talents. But now, not even the other Elders can protest from both of you coming straight in. Jiang Ling, take them to their residency."
"With pleasure." Jiang Ling nodded.
Just as everyone was about to go their separate ways, a loud, confident voice boomed from down below.
The bold youth daring to speak up was actually Jin Ya!
"Wait! Martial brother Lee, if it's possible, can we still exchange pointers once in a while? As I said before, it would be an honor to duel with you!"
Her expression was honest and her words were completely direct.
With how much higher status everyone has compared to them, Ren Bao and Fan Fu didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Yet Jin Ya stared straight into Cain's eyes without any hesitation or fear. They might not like her or like her style, but even Ren Bao and Fan Fu can respect her courage.
Elder Heng merely smiled with slight interest, and Jiang Ling also showcased zero change in expression.
Cain's eyes glinted as he gave Jin Ya a run-over. While at the same time, Amber finally showed a slight change in expression by curling her brows.
