Chapter 307: Astral Blood Beast
The surge of soul force marked the beginning, and all the Blood Champions adopted defensive stances around Shura before turning their gazes toward Cain. He drew a deep breath, and the next moment, his Ego Wave pierced into the blood-water, allowing him to mark every beast before nodding.
In unison, they charged into the Blood Sea, diving through the crimson liquid at astonishing speed as they made their way toward the center of the soul force.
Surin and the other Blood Champions immediately assumed defensive postures as they sensed the presence of hundreds of Wave Champion Beasts converging upon them. And they were not alone; there were even some King Beasts amidst their ranks.
"BOOMMMMM!"
However, before the Wave Beasts could draw too near, sonic cannons materialized and collided with them. All the Wave Champion Beasts were obliterated, and the cannons pushed back the King Beasts.
Shock appeared in the eyes of Surin and the Blood Champions as they saw the might of these cannons as they shattered the beasts despite their distance of hundreds of meters. They had witnessed Cain’s sonic cannon before, but it had undergone refinement. Though originally an Astral Rebirth technique, its mode of operation had changed.
They turned their attention to Cain and observed how he merely pointed his hand to unleash the blast. He had managed to wield a long-range attack with significant potency despite being an Astral Rebirth Cultivator. The reason was simple: the limitations were no longer a hindrance for someone with his mastery over the Four Basic Wave Arts.
Of course, long-range attacks were still weaker than what he could unleash in close combat. However, these techniques served well for crowd control, and he could harness the ambient Life Wave to employ them, saving his own Astral Wave.
"Do not squander time. It will be dangerous to confront King Beasts."
The Blood Champions heeded the advice and adopted solemn expressions. They would do their best not to become a hindrance.
Cain continued to unleash the sonic wave cannons, blasting the Wave Champion Beasts away and keeping the King Beasts at bay. It was a demanding but not overly difficult task, allowing the group to advance safely.
In the previous Ascendance of the Blood Moon, there had always been beasts that managed to approach within 100 meters of the group, inciting a close-distance battle, but today was different. No creature came anywhere near due to Cain’s power, and in less than six hours, they reached the epicenter of the burst.
