Chapter 308: Rebirth
The Astral Blood Beast didn’t seem to care about the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar as its eyes focused on the youths. First, the best focused on Shura, causing the young woman to approach before shifting its gaze toward the rest of the group.
All the youths felt their bloodlines surge as the presence of the Blood Sea Lineage grew stronger, except for Cain, whose bloodline was different. After a moment, the Blood Astral Beast focused on Surin and seemed ready to make him advance, putting the youth next to Shura.
Upon seeing this, a horrible feeling of wrongness assaulted Cain, as if what was about to happen was something he could not tolerate. The red light in his eyes intensified, emanating burning rage from his soul.
For a brief moment, the Astral Blood Beast appeared to sense Cain’s will, but it seemed unfazed. However, at that point, the essence of the young man’s soul force was unleashed.
Suddenly, the eyes of the Astral Blood Beast sharpened as they locked onto Cain. At that moment, a flash of desire seemed to flicker within its gaze as if Cain’s soul held the key to its deepest goals and ambitions.
An unseen force immediately pushed back Surin while Cain was propelled towards the Astral Blood Beast. Just then, the First Pillar managed to cover the distance and reached the beast phantom. His eyes bore an intense focus as his sword cleaved through space, creating a path toward Cain.
The First Pillar’s attention was solely on Cain. While he would save the others if possible, he wouldn’t risk his life for them. Unfortunately, this very objective was something the Astral Blood Beast could not allow to be compromised.
"ROOOOOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRRRR!"
The beast’s roar caused the entire pressure of the Blood Sea to converge on the First Pillar. The Astral Blood Beast had concentrated all its power in this attack. Only Shura and Cain were protected from the ensuing destruction, but the other youths were no longer important to the beast.
The First Pillar’s eyes burned with determination as he pushed his body and cultivation far beyond the limits that Titans should be capable of. However, he couldn’t overcome the power of the entire Blood Sea. The Astral Blood Beast was resolute, unwilling to allow anyone to take Cain away.
Ultimately, the First Pillar could only grit his teeth. He swiftly sent the Blood Champions into his spatial ring and flashed out of the Blood Sea before the pressure could annihilate him.
As the First Pillar disappeared, the Astral Blood Beast turned its attention to the duo, its intent growing even more forceful.
