Chapter 870
The seal buried deep in Ashton’s soul was the only thing holding him back. Without it, he would already have broken through and stepped into the divine realm.
Power coursed through him now, wild and relentless. His whole body thrummed with violent energy, eager for a fight that would push him to the limit.
Ashton drew a deep breath. A flicker of dragon shadow flashed behind him as he burst forward and closed the distance with Cassian in an instant. Under the gaze of his draconic vision, Cassian’s movements were laid bare, and his speed seemed to falter.
“Triple Lightning Strike!” Ashton let out a thunderous roar.
Lightning and flame coiled violently around his arm as he drove a domineering punch straight toward Cassian’s face.
Cassian’s expression darkened with fury at the sight of a mere semi–divine realm expert daring to challenge him.
“If you’re that eager to die, I’ll grant your wish.”
He had no intention of dodging. Instead, his pride drove him to meet Ashton head–on and crush him.
“Starbreaker Strike!”
A cold light flashed in Cassian’s eyes as he gathered power into his palm. White flames intertwined around his hand before he thrust his palm forward to meet Ashton’s attack.
In the next instant, fist and palm collided like two meteors crashing together. Shockwaves tore across the arena as sonic booms thundered through the air. The ground cracked beneath them, and the entire arena shuddered under the impact.
Still, the result stunned everyone watching.
As the smoke and sparks cleared, Ashton and Cassian both staggered back several steps. Neither had gained the upper hand. Ashton was only in the semi–divine realm, yet he had just matched a true divine realm expert.
The crowd erupted in boos, but Ashton’s supporters drowned them out with cheers. They pumped their fists and shouted his
name.
Cassian’s expression hardened instantly. This wasn’t the outcome he wanted. He wanted a decisive victory and to crush Ashton completely. Only such overwhelming dominance would be worthy of his status as the Lowery family’s appointed heir.
Anger flickered in his eyes as he felt the lingering pain in his palm. Cassian fixed Ashton with a frigid stare.
“Congratulations,” he said coldly. “You’ve finally made me angry.”
“You’re still as annoying as ever. Save the trash talk for after I defeat you,” Ashton shot back.
He had no interest in trading words. His battle intent burned high as he pushed his speed to the limit and surged forward again, rising like a violent gale as he closed on Cassian.
“Sixfold Carnage Fist–Sextuple Burst!” he roared.
Veins bulged along Ashton’s arms as he focused all his power into a single point. Blood streamed from the corners of his eyes while his gaze remained locked on Cassian. At the same time, his ocular technique disrupted the flow of Cassian’s power.
A thunderous dragon’s roar echoed through the air. The Sixfold Carnage Fist drove straight toward Cassian’s heart.
“Hellwarden Fist!”
