Chapter 1437: One down (I) Chapter 1437: One down (I) The following days were an unending battle of endurance and skill.
At the zenith of each morning, when the sun reached its highest point, cultivators from the Gu Sect and the Golden Star Kingdom marched into the Golden Lake to secure positions marked by waves of spiritual energy.
Each day, without fail, the white radiance appeared, growing more potent with every sunrise.
The Golden Lake churned with relentless fury, its molten waves surging unpredictably.
Pillars of golden plasma erupted with terrifying force, rendering the lake more dangerous than ever.
Simply being near the surface was a gamble with death, and hovering above it offered little safety.
Yet, neither faction dared retreat.
Everyone was waiting for the Natural Inheritance to erge.
Even after a week of constant clashes, there was no sign of the treasure.
Tensions continued to rise as frustration brewed within both factions.
Neither side could do anything but wait and endure.
Cain stood amidst the chaos, his expression cold and focused.
A sharp beam of golden light shot toward him faster than the eye could track.
Even with the aid of The Flow, he barely managed to dodge, the laser grazing his cheek and leaving a searing burn.
The pain was sharp and distracting, but Cain didn’t have the luxury of dwelling on it.
Dozens of golden swords materialized in the air, surrounding him on all sides before dashing toward him in a coordinated assault.
Cain’s movents were fluid, almost ethereal, as he evaded the attacks.
Using The Flow, he dodged most of the swords and destroyed the rest with the Spear of Doom, its fiery energy cutting through the constructs like paper.
Yet, as he prepared to counterattack, a golden fist shot toward him from his blind spot, aiming to shatter his ribs.
Reacting instantly, Cain shifted his grip and struck the incoming fist with the butt of his spear.
The counter sent the golden assailant flying back, and Cain turned his gaze toward his attackers.
Willis and Markus.
The duo he had fought and defeated earlier had returned.
The scars of their previous injuries were gone, their power seemingly restored.
However, they were not alone this ti.
Standing beside them was another Anima, a woman nad Samira.
Her mastery over destructive lasers added a dangerous new elent to the battle.
The trio worked in perfect harmony, their combined efforts relentless.
Cain assessed the situation quickly.
Against two Late Divine Transcendent Masters, he could hold his own with the aid of The Flow.
But three?
That was pushing his limits.
While they couldn’t defeat him outright, their strategy was clear: two would suppress him while the third went after the Natural Inheritance when it erged.
For a fleeting mont, a thought crossed Cain’s mind.
‘If I used my full power, I could kill all three of them.’ The temptation lingered briefly before he dismissed it.
Revealing his trump cards now would only complicate matters.
Instead, he continued fighting, silently channeling the Sundering Concept into his spear and the Concept of Power into his body.
The resulting combination allowed him to destroy the golden swords and dodge the lasers with ruthless precision.
Willis lunged again, exploiting the distraction of Samira’s laser beams.
The golden man’s fist radiated imnse power; the full might of his Gold Star Power channeled into a single devastating blow aid directly at Cain’s chest.
A savage grin spread across Willis’s face, confident that this strike would land.
“BOOOOM!” The explosion shook the air, but Willis’s grin quickly turned to shock and pain.
His fist hadn’t reached Cain’s chest but instead collided with Cain’s elbow.
The impact sent a shockwave through Willis’s arm, fracturing several bones in his hand.
Cain wasted no ti capitalizing on the mont.
He swung the Spear of Doom toward Willis’ head with enough force to obliterate a mountain.
At the last second, Willis managed to raise his left arm in defense, but the strike still sent him hurtling through the air.
Cain’s sharp eyes locked onto Willis, prepared to chase him down and finish the man.
But before he could move, another barrage of laser beams and golden swords forced him to redirect his focus.
“Hmph,” Cain sneered as the golden light of The Flow coursed through his body.
With swift and precise movents, he neutralized the incoming attacks.
His instincts suddenly flared, drawing his attention downward.
“RUMBLE!” The Golden Lake trembled violently, its molten surface erupting with chaotic energy.
Massive waves surged outward, and golden plasma pillars shot into the sky, each one radiating enough destructive power to threaten even Late Divine Transcendent Masters.
Amid the chaos, a familiar sight appeared, bursts of white spiritual force surged through the Golden Lake, brighter and stronger than before.
Both factions froze, their attention locked onto the glowing flares.
This phenonon had occurred several tis over the past week, and though previous flares had proven to be false alarms, no one dared to ignore the possibility that this ti might be different.
For most cultivators, this was a mont to brace for action.
For Cain, it was an opportunity.
[Phenonon analysis indicates that the spiritual waves have not reached full stabilization.
The probability of a birth occurring is below 2.8%.] The robotic voice of the Absolute Life Form System echoed in Cain’s mind.
With that knowledge, Cain dismissed the spiritual flares entirely and turned his attention to the group from the Night Prince.
“It’s ti,” he muttered.
His golden eyes glowed with lethal intent as he gripped the Spear of Doom tightly.
Without hesitation, Cain dove toward Willis, his figure cutting through the air like a black arrow.
Caught off guard, Willis reacted too late.
Though he managed to raise his arm to block the spear, the sheer force of Cain’s attack sent him staggering back.
Before Willis could recover, a massive wave of molten plasma erupted from the Golden Lake, crashing down on him and Cain with devastating force.
Willis’s screams echoed as the searing heat engulfed him.
His Gold Star Power provided so protection, but even that wasn’t enough to fully shield him from the lake’s fury.
Cain, though better prepared, felt the intense heat pressing against his defenses as he was forced deeper into the raging lake.
