? Lord Fire was in true joy as he refocused his senses. A wide smile began to curl his lips. ''Really, it shouldn''t have been that long since I enter! With this, I shou-''


    In that moment, Lord Firepletely froze. A prickling cold sensation made his blood freeze. Beads of cold sweat gathered and drip down his forehead.


    ''This-this...no...it can''t be?'' When Lord Fire slowly open his eyes, the colorpletely drained from hisplexion.


    A horrific sight had greeted him.


    At another open hole sat a smiling youth. This youth may have an ordinary appearance, but his presence was utterly unfathomable.


    Endless mysteries exuded from every move this youth made. He seemed to be on a higher ne of being! Just a casual nce told profound secrets. A blink of his canpletely destroy ordinary Early Divine Rulers.


    Lord Fire desperately hoped out of all people he wouldn''t meet this mystifying youth.


    Yet, here they were, locked in a room meant forpetition.


    Cain casually stood up, his smile never leaving his face and his gaze never leaving Lord Fire''s horrified mug.


    In a deathly calm tone, sounding as if it was an order from the heavens, Cain said, "So it seems that you are fortunate enough toe first. That''s quite considerable when seeing thepetition you''re up against. The experience must''ve beenpletely worthful. And now that you''re here...you can leave the Starry Earth Realm in its entirety."


    Only silence came from Lord Fire for a moment. His jaws slightly hung open, feeling honestly surprised at Cain''s words.


    A momentter, a sense of frustration and indignation swelled through his body! It even overpowers the overwhelming fear he''s feeling!


    "Leave in its entirety? Cloudsea Lee, are you suggesting I just give up my chance to the starry tform?! Do you honestly believe you can just make everything follow your will?!" Lord Fire spewed out his frustration.


    It was a reactive instinct. He may not be on Lord Chen or Lord Chao''s level talent, but he still a Divine Decree Lord surpassing other Divine Decree Lords!


    He still can be counted as an absolute genius of the younger generation. How could he be so willing to roll over for Cain?


    Although, even when standing his ground, Lord Fire couldn''t stop a prickling feeling from emerging from the depths of his mind. A creeping sensation began filling his soul that he desperately pushed down.


    As if an inevitable that was impossible to resist was about toe.


    Cain continued to speak in his calm tone. "Oh? So you don''t want to leave? Alright. I was being polite at first, but now, I''m telling you. Scram out of here now. Or, I will make you scram. If that were to happen, don''t me me for what''s going to happen next."


    "You-you..." What made Lord Fire feel a subtle sense of dread camepletely true.


    This Lee really wanted him to forfeit his position!


    With his Divine mind, Lord Fire saw the reasons within seconds. His teeth gritted, his palm violently clenched down, fingernails digging into skins.


    In all honesty, the fact that Cain was forcing him to leave through force was a far more horrid sensation than missing the starry tform. Never had Lord Fire felt so utterly humiliated by a genius in the same generation.


    A low sigh escaped Lord Fire''s lips. He slowly said, "You and I have no deep grievances with each other. Must you really go so far for your group? Do you really want to be an enemy with my Fire Stay Holy Land? Are you just going to be enemies with all other Divine Decree Lords'' backgrounds?"


    No hesitation was in Cain''s response. He even lightly chuckled. "Do I really need to care about background retaliation if you''re not a quasi or full Heavenly Great World? And for that other matter, you won''t be here to see how I handle other Divine Decree Lords."


    With that, Cain''s Divine Aurapletely erupted!


    The Chaos Spirit Force, Draconic Lightning Aura, Phonix Ice, and his soul form all released to a full 90% of their powers!


    An earth-shattering explosion sounded out. Violent airwaves whirled all throughout therge chamber. Distortion of space urred around Cain.


    Lights of luminous and terrifyingly powerful Draconic Lightning and Phonix Ice filled the whole world!


    The generated energy force of Cain''s power couldn''t crack apart the chamber''s grounds or walls, but everything still smashed upon Lord Fire''s body.


    Lord Fire''s eyespletely erged. His Supreme Fire Divine Laws surged with an intensity of hundreds of burning stars!


    But even with his Inner World stimted to its full force, the generated force of Cain''s numerous powers still smashed right through his protective Divine Aura.


    Ear-piercing screeches filled the area as huge parts of Lord Fire''s protective Divine Aura were crushed to smithereens.


    The remaining generated force hurled right upon Lord Fire''s body.


    A low groan leaked from Lord Fire. He coughed up a mouthful of blood as his body was sent smashing into the chamber''s wall.


    Such a generated force made him appear so pitiful. As if he was a mere mortal thrown away by a chaotic storm.


    With numerous bones cracked, organs ruptured and head-splitting pain, Lord Fire was equally fearful and immensely frustrated!


    Boundless energy rapidly surged throughout his body. The shine of his Fire Laws grew blinding to mortal eyes. The boundless energy provided boundless power that fuelled Lord Fire right back to his feet.


    "Hah!!" With a roaring shout from the depths of hell, Lord Fire had summoned his Dao Origin!


    A miniature, radiantly shining fiery ball had manifested in front of Lord Fire.


    This fiery ball existed on a far different level from anything Lord Fire had previously shown.


    Extreme heat and unfathomable power rippled from the fiery ball. Every ray from the fiery ball was melting the air and heavily distorting the powerful space Laws of this realm!


    Even the glorious shine of a sun star, bright enough to illumine a world and hot enough to melt divine iron into ashes, wasckingpared to the Sun Dao Origin.


    Lord Fire''s Sun Dao Origin would have enough power to make even geniuses like Lord Chao serious.


    But the very moment Lord Fire gathered his Sun Dao Origin, a faint green sh rippled meters in front of Lord Fire.


    Cain had instantaneously teleported! His hand thrust out. Draconic-Phonix essence revolved around his hand.


    The immensely powerful streams of lightning-ice essence formed into the ''Frost Lightning w!''


    The rippling energy principles from the Frost Lightning w overwhelmed everything and anything. Two Absolute Perfection Divine Laws fused with the universal powers of Chaos energy. Mixed all together, the forces evolved into a mutated power that even the heavens wanted to strike down!


    All Supreme Divine Law energy principles werepletely suppressed!


    All of this overwhelming might bore right down on Lord Fire.


    There wasn''t any time to react or revolve his cultivation art. Lord Fire pped down on his Sun Dao Origin, exerting its strength to its very limits!


    ''Bang!''


    Violent streaks of energy shockwaves smashed all throughout the atmosphere. Small splits in the ground started to crack open. Every streak of fiery Law light waspletely oppressed by lightning-ice lights!


    The Frost Lightning w stayed shing against the Sun Dao Origin. For every second it stayed locked, shockwaves continued to rampant and cracks on the Sun Dao Origin began to spread.


    Immense pain wracked all throughout Lord Fire''s body. The cracking of his Sun Dao Origin was the equivalent of tearing apart his body, Inner World, and soul at the same time.


    Blood continually leaked out of his skin, cracking as if he was a sculpture. This kind of pain was unbearable on his mind!


    With his life on the line, Lord Fire had no other option. A talisman had appeared within his other palm and he instantly crushed it.


    Faint fiery ck Law Lights instantly shrouded Lord Fire''s body. Even the faintest strand of the fiery ck Law Lights had easily blocked off Cain''s Frost Lightning w.


    Unable to proceed forward, all Cain could do was watch as the fiery ck Law lights mysteriously tear open the Void Space with utter ease.


    Shrouded inside, the fiery ck Law Lights flew into the Void Space, transporting Lord Fire out of the Starry Earth Realm.


    Cain was able to detect it moments before Lord Fire left. A simmering killing intent that wanted to chew Cain from the inside out.


    As the Void Space closed back up, Cain recalled his powers. He calmly smiled, not regretting his actions in the slightest. ''With one down, there''s still several more to go. Master will be able to easily deal with the fallout.''


    shing back to his original side, Cain assimted into a meditative state. His Divine Sense did a quick inspection of himself.


    Quirking his brows, a low sigh escaped his lips. ''So it really seems that mybination moves take much more energy even when considering my near endless amount of Inner World energy.''


    Indeed, from just unleashing the Frost Lightning w, Cain had used a clear 3% of his overall energy reserves.


    Such a small percentage seems negligible. But in all of Cain''s previous attacks, he can recount that even his strongest martial skills barely cost him any Inner World energy.


    His advantage was always being able to go full strength from the start and endlessly continue to overwhelm his foes.


    As of now, it seems the cost of attacks will exponentially increase with stronger martial skills.
