Chapter 199
"Strength."
The Dao patterns on his fist were pushed to their absolute limits, the radiant light almost solidifying into a physical entity, carrying supreme, terrifying force, he smashed his fist toward Adam.
"You really don’t learn, do you?" Adam shook his head.
After figuring out Soren’s weakness, Adam knew exactly how to deal with this seemingly invincible opponent.
It was indeed formidable that Soren could borrow the power of the top ten supreme Dao Laws, it was exceedingly difficult for ordinary people to resist, simply because of the sheer suppression.
However, against Adam, this was completely useless, because Adam possessed them too.
Soren’s innate advantage was utterly meaningless against him, furthermore, Adam could seamlessly combine the powers of his Dao Laws to complement each other, Soren could not, it was no exaggeration to say that Adam was the perfect counter to Soren.
Soren was sent flying backward once again.
Although he did not sustain major injuries, he looked entirely wretched.
That confident, detached aura that had radiated from his being was completely gone, his hair was a messy tangle, and his white clothes were covered in dust.
He looked like an entirely different person from the majestic Dao Body Holy Fetus of before.
"I win." Adam looked at Soren, who was about to charge forward again, and spoke slowly.
There was no point in continuing this fight, deciding a victor was enough, the most important thing now was soaking in the Reincarnation Pool.
"No! I refuse to accept this!" Soren had never lost in his entire life, he simply could not endure this humiliation.
"Then we’ll settle it after soaking in the Reincarnation Pool, stop wasting time." Adam frowned, slightly displeased.
If they truly had to fight to the death, Adam would not mind sending Soren to the afterlife right now, when he eventually paid a visit to the Nova Clan to demand answers, there would be a battle to the death anyway.
Soren’s fists clenched tightly, Adam’s words were so familiar, he had said something very similar himself just moments earlier.
"Fine, we will fight again after soaking in the pool." After speaking, Soren walked to the side with a deeply gloomy expression.
The spectating crowd widened their eyes, watching in utter disbelief.
"Is he admitting defeat?"
"No way! The Dao Body Holy Fetus actually lost!"
"Impossible, my eyes must be playing tricks on me, the Dao Body Holy Fetus should be invincible in this era!"
"Who exactly is that youth? Could he be the Innate Dao Body? Otherwise, how could he defeat the Dao Body Holy Fetus?"
"Impossible! My Nova Clan’s Dao Body Holy Fetus would never lose!"
Among the cultivators who had followed them up the mountain, quite a few were Dao Childs of the Nova Clan, none of them were willing to accept this reality.
Gabriel looked at Soren, and suddenly his previous indignation diminished significantly, since Soren had been defeated, even if Gabriel eventually beat him, there would still be another youth towering above them both.
Although Aeris still harbored the desire to devour Adam, he knew it was utterly impossible now.
Standing off to the side, John’s eyes flashed with intense excitement.
Perfect, this defeat would cast a shadow over Soren’s invincible Dao Heart and might even plant the seed of an inner demon, this would have a massive impact on his future cultivation, half of John’s goal had already been achieved, the remaining half would depend on luck.
"Are you still going to fight me for it?" Adam turned to the graceful Amber and asked slowly.
Amber looked at Adam, who seemed like a god descended to the mortal realm, and swallowed slightly.
Finally, she shook her head. "There is no need."
She had not even been confident against Soren, let alone Adam, although yielding before a battle was detrimental to maintaining a clear Dao Heart, was there not a saying that a wise man submits to circumstances? And another that a man does not stand under a collapsing wall? These were the truths of the ancestors, one had to heed them.
Soren’s footsteps faltered slightly, the look he shot Amber was filled with extreme displeasure.
"That’s good then." Adam nodded in satisfaction and took large strides toward the core Deity Reincarnation Pool.
Everyone watched his back, none of them had expected the situation to conclude this way, the core pool had been won by a youth who appeared completely out of nowhere.
"Amber, I..." Gabriel walked up, wanting to explain himself, but was immediately cut off.
"Enough, let’s hurry and start soaking too." Amber headed toward one of the second-tier Deity Reincarnation Pools.
Aeris and the others walked over one by one, leaving Gabriel standing there looking incredibly awkward.
There were six second-tier Reincarnation Pools in total, the five of them did not even need to fight over them, as for the one remaining pool, the other Dao Childs would compete for it.
That was out of their control, although second-tier pools were inferior, their efficacy was not actually far off, furthermore, the most important factor was one’s own comprehension ability, it was not unprecedented for someone in a second-tier pool to undergo more cycles of reincarnation than the person in the top-tier pool.
Adam arrived at the highest pool, roughly the size of a small pavilion, it radiated a mysterious and holy aura, without any hesitation, he stepped right in.
The golden pool water seemed to have no temperature at all, Adam could not tell if it was cold or hot, once his body was fully submerged, a mysterious golden mist slowly rose around him.
Adam began to feel increasingly drowsy, finally, unable to resist, he drifted into a deep sleep.
After he entered the dreamscape, the golden mist coalesced into a radiant protective barrier, completely enveloping the Reincarnation Pool.
This was its innate defense mechanism, designed to protect the person inside from any harm, people had tried attacking this barrier in the past, but even after using every method, they could not damage it in the slightest.
Soren and the others also entered their deep slumbers one by one, meanwhile, the remaining cultivators began fiercely competing for the last second-tier pool and the lower-tier ones.
While they were entirely unaware, three figures dressed in black cloaks were ascending the mountain.
