Chapter 139: Overwhelming

In the very instance the referee Elder called the match, Cain immediately made his move. His goal was utter suppression and overkill. He'll control this battle to the entirety of his own pace!

Cain's Soul Energy frantically gushed out, immediately linking to his Chaos Energy! 

'Bang!' 

The air ferociously howled! 

Energy frantically discharged out of Cain like a volcanic eruption, sweeping throughout the whole Martial Arena. His Aura struck everyone's face like a wild hurricane!

"This power!! Somehow, it's even stronger than yesterday!!" 

Everyone in the audience nearly jumped out of their seats. However, most students suddenly felt tightly weighed down.

As Energy flowed through the air, a heavy suppression crashed upon all of the weaker students. Within just a moment, eyes were widening to an extreme degree. 

Just how much Cain was suppressing yesterday?

This power almost seemed too exaggerated! 

"Shit, shit!" 

Edison spat out his frustrations. He wanted to attack first with all that he had. When coming to this duel, he was passively circulating his Profound Qi to strike all at one moment.

But Cain was just faster! His speed of circulation appeared to be near instantaneous! 

Edison wanted to immediately intercept this rise of power; however, when one foot lifted off the ground, he abruptly froze.

The pressure on him suddenly multiplied by dozens of times! It was like his whole body got abruptly thrust to the depths of a heavily dense ocean. 

At this time, a faint green glow sparkled from Cain's pupils.

Chaos Spirit Force-open!

'Hu~!' 

In this instance, Cain spared no expense, erupting with one of his strongest moves. His Aura explosively rises at the speed of light, engulfing the whole Arena in the power of the Chaos Force!

Ear piercing whistling sounds reverberated through the entire area. 

The air itself seemed to tremble around Cain's vicinity as if it couldn't hold his power.

Simultaneously, a beautiful yet faint layer of green Energy shrouded Cain's body. This green Energy looked different from any type of Qi Energy, like it was a mystical league of unknown power.

The audience was stunned into silence. Their Soul's Core intensely quivered, and some felt their breathing shortened. 

Up in the skies, Protector Elder Luang and Discipline Lord Alisha similarly stared with bugged-out eyes.

"This-could it be an Energy amplification Art?! Is his comprehension that high to perceive something like that??" Alisha was mainly muttering to herself. 

But when hearing this Protector Elder Luang felt his whole body shivered.

Both Elders wanted to think clearly about this. However, they wouldn't get the chance to do so. 

At this time, Cain had finally made his move! His figure blurred into a faint trail of green light, leaving behind faint afterimages in his wake.

The distance fifty feet was nothing. Cain reached over within just a second! 

In the most direct way possible, Cain shot a simple fist straight towards Edison's face. 

"What?!?" 

Even though it was a simple attack, the power behind it was gargantuan! Edison felt like his movement were sealed away. 

Cain's pressure covered all around him akin to an Energy Cage. The only option now was to forcefully tank this attack! 

"Hah!!"

Edison stubbornly bellowed out, revolving all of his Profound Qi to his absolute limit, then thrusting a fist of his own towards Cain's. 

This was it. A full-power strike of Profound Qi Energy! 

Such power that can largely threaten even other Early Stage Profound Soul geniuses was nothing in Cain's eyes.

'Bang!' 

"Arrg!" 

Bones cracking and a miserable wail boomed into everyone's eardrums.

There was no way intense shockwave or Energy collision. Just blood spraying everywhere as Edison soared backward. His body looked like a withered leaf getting swayed by a violent tempest.

From his right arm and hand, blood profusely leaked out. His protective Profound Aura was nothing but fragile glass, allowing Cain's invading Energy to wreak utter havoc inside his arm.

Almost instantly, the flesh covering his right arm tore open, his tendons ruptured, and several of his bones cracked open. 

"Sss~! This…." 

Students couldn't help but suck in a cold breath over this dominance. 

One move, and Edison is already so heavily injured! Now, this battle was turning utterly freakish. 

Was Profound Qi really that weak in front of Cain? 

Or is Edison just too weak for Cain?

But nobody had a chance to rummage on their thoughts. Not when a vigorously powerful Energy similarly erupted straight out of Edison. 

"Dmannit!! Haah!!" 

At this moment, Edison forcefully stopped his momentum, slamming his feet on the stone stage, completely releasing his Soul Form!

Brilliant orange flames quickly coverage around Edison's entire body. Waves of Fire Energy exploded like a dam, nearly melting the Qi stone right under him. 

As his prowess surged, Edison flashed a long broad glowing orange sword into his left hand.

When this orange sword appeared, Edison's prowess directly doubled! It climbed to extraordinary heights that he wouldn't be achieved under regular times. 

But the tremendous pressure of Cain was forcing out every slight drop of his potential! 

"Ah! Isn't that the Brilliance Sword?! In just a move, he's bringing out his strongest trump card??"

"But does he have any other option? Senior Brother Cain basically destroyed his entire arm in a single strike!" 

The students were fervently discussing Edison's combat weapons.

Nobody even decided to comment on the fact that he had just unleashed his Soul Form! 

A Soul Form shouldn't be anything to ignore. It's when Profound Qi directly stimulates the hidden depths of one's Soul's Core, unleashing their slumbering latent power!

From the Spirit Opening Realm to the Nascent Opening Realm, the Soul's Core is passively strengthened with each according breakthrough. 

Even if one doesn't directly cultivate their Soul's Core, the Heaven and Earth Origin Energy released from both forms of Qi was enough to passively enhance it. 

This then accumulates to the point where the Heaven and Earth Origin Energy from Profound Qi fully unleashes the true potential of a Soul's Core! 

When a Soul Form is unleashed, this could directly tip the scales of battle.

Under normal circumstances, these students would be in awe. But Cain's prowess was simply too overwhelming, causing everyone to just pay attention to Edison's combat Weapon. 

All students know that the Brilliance Sword is an Early Grade Earthen Weapon!

When using this weapon, the Energy consumption would be enormous. But the strength granted more than makes up for it. 

Unlike higher realms, Profound Soul cultivators are given a much lower pool of Energy reserves to access.

Any Earthen Grade weapon requires tremendous Energy to be successfully used once one is proficient enough to control the weapon's Energy contained inside it. 

Using the Brilliance Sword seems like a risky move to do. But Edison truly has no other option. 

Flaming Sword lights shot into the skies as Edison's prowess dramatically increased. He was virtually inches away from shooting right towards Cain.

But the very moment he had the thought to move, a sudden immense sense of danger burst right behind him! 

"Mn?!?"

Edison's pupils heavily contracted. The Cain dozens of feet before him was nothing but a simple afterimage!

Just how the hell is he so fast?! It was like he had the speed of actual Lightning! 

'Zzzt!' 

Suddenly, the thunderous boom of Lightning blasted right into his ears. Edison only had the split moment to swivel around, swinging his Brilliance Sword out. 

Flaming Sword Lights converged, clashing directly against a thunderous Lightning-covered fist!

Once again, there wasn't any form of violent collision of an Energy storm. 

With a dull, ringing metallic noise, Cain's Lightning fist shattered Edison's Flaming Sword Light, crashing right onto his blade. The resulting force shot Edison back like a speeding bullet.

Edison gritted his teeth, forcefully resisting the brutal sensation of Draconic Lightning Energy tearing through his internal body. 

Suppressing all manner of pain, Edison's eyes burst with a vicious light!

"Haahh!! Everything in this strike!!" 

Edison forcefully stopped his spiraling momentum, once again slamming his feet into the Martial Stage. His Flaming Soul Form suddenly intensifies, burning over like billowing molten lava. 

Edison raised his Brilliance Sword to the high heavens, surging every single bit of strength from his Qi Seed! 

"Severing Slash!" 

Instantly, a Flaming Sword Light burst out of the Brilliance Sword, extending high into the skies.

Under widening eyes, the Sword Light reached a great thirty feet high, filling the entire skies in a luminous orange Energy glow! 

"This-this is a First Grade Earthen Martial Skill!"

"Last time Edison used this move, he quite literally crushed his opponent like a crumbling rock! Even all peak Early Stage geniuses need to treat this attack with their life! Could this finally get Senior Brother Cain serious?"

At least, all students believed they would finally see some kind of Martial Skill from Cain to match this attack. 

But right then, an incredible scene that stunned everyone to their cores occurred.

Facing Edison's Martial Skill, Cain flashed the Spiral Sword into his left hand, immediately covering it in golden Sword Lights! 

As his Aura amazingly increased even more, Cain simply slashed down his blade.

Ten golden Sword Light soared out, emitting a blinding glow that completely overshadowed the Flaming Sword Lights. 

At the same time, Edison couldn't possibly care about the increase of Cain's prowess.

He swung his Brillance Sword out, sending his thirty-foot long Flaming Sword Light straight at Cain's attack. 

When both Sword Light met each other, the expected outcome didn't occur.

'Chiii~!!' 

Energy ripped apart like fragile paper as Cain's ten golden Sword Light shredded right through Edison's Severing Flash! 

The thirty-foot-long Flaming Sword Light that wielded power equal to peak Early Stage was simply vaporized into tiny wisps of Flames.

As a blinding golden glow filled Edison's entire vision, all he could do was ruefully smile. Even though he was fully prepared since the start, it all was futile against Cain's overwhelming prowess.

Getting beaten so easily….his Martial Heart directly cracked. 

'Bang!' 

Cain's ten golden Sword Light crashed onto Edison, immediately knocking him unconscious and flying off the Martial Stage.

As Edison crashed to the ground, Cain quickly flashed his Spiral Sword back into his spatial ring. 

At the same time, a brief stunning silence enveloped the entire Martial Arena.
