Third turn Mahayana realm, the true combat power of Cain Ashenvale should be comparable to a Sixth turn.

Ethan's mind processed swiftly, noticing a strange, mottled aura within Cain's Dantian.

Four distinct colors glowed—signifying mastery over the four elemental energies.

Yet the aura was uneven and chaotic, infused with spiritual energy, blood, and life essence mismatched within itself.

"This guy has a weird body," Ethan thought, powering his Heaven-piercing Mind Eyes to their absolute limit.

His vision pierced through Cain Ashenvale's form, revealing an unusual spinal structure.

Four radiant colors streamed from the spine, pulsing with majestic elemental energy combined with a sacred life essence.

This mottled four-color aura was the source of Cain's formidable power.

"Alicia, can you analyze Cain Ashenvale's body and that elemental energy?" Ethan used his mind to communicate with the system.

[Accessing Heaven-piercing Mind Eyes, target data collection complete.]

[Analyzing …]

[Analysis complete: Cain Ashenvale possesses the Four Spirit Holy Body.]

[Four Spirit Holy Body: One of the ten ancient holy bodies, ranked tenth.]

[Capable of absorbing and controlling ice, fire, light, and darkness freely.]

[Upon perfection, strength surges exponentially, capable of shaking the world.]

[Can manifest up to four clones, each with over 70% of original strength.]

Ethan's eyes flickered with surprise as he absorbed this revelation.

Ten ancient holy bodies existed—an imposing hierarchy in cultivation history.

But without strong cultivation foundation or perfection, such bodies meant little on their own.

Alicia's voice continued in his head.

[The cultivation pace of the Four Spirit Holy Body is slow.]

[But there is a forbidden secret method—absorbing a cultivator's life essence.]

[The physique and skills of the one being absorbed must match the elemental attributes of the Four Spirit Holy Body.]

Ethan's expression hardened with the weight of this knowledge.

Suddenly, it all made sense why Cain Ashenvale demanded Solara's bloodline flame.

Solara, the Divine Beast Phoenix, bathed in pure, blazing fire essence, her bloodline flame rivaling the original spiritual fire.

Cain's Four Spirit Holy Body could gain immense power by absorbing her essence directly.

Ethan glanced sideways at Seraphina.

She was fixated on Cain with the cold aloofness of a disciple from the Azure Origin Dao Sect—a perennial ice queen.

But Ethan saw through her mask—a dog licking the hand that might feed her future.

Cain most likely looked at Seraphina not for her heart, but for the Ice Spirit Soul Body she possessed.

Ethan sneered inwardly, savoring the thought of Seraphina's impending torment.

"Drown in your own dreams," Ethan whispered in disdain.

With a sharp exhale, he recalled his cultivation technique.

"Celestial Jade Physique Scripture!"

His mind surged through its levels methodically—first, second, third, early fourth, middle fourth, late fourth stage. The blood pills in his body trembled violently.

Crimson blood exploded outwards, covering his skin like a fiery torrent.

The blood and essence coalesced like fierce flames, full of teeth and claws, wild and untamed.

Boom!

Ethan's eyes sharpened to an extreme degree.

His aura exploded outward, compressing the air around him to the point it hummed with raw energy.

Cain Ashenvale, melting into the darkness nearby, suddenly tensed, a grave expression crossing his features.

Ethan had far exceeded all his expectations.

No longer could Cain look down on him.

"Ethan," the voice came from the shadows with a sneer, "you still have something to offer."

"I won't be bored anymore."

From the right side of Ethan, swirling ice energy crystallized into an elegant yet deadly ice blade.

Cain Ashenvale stepped into view, mere meters away.

"Can you catch this move?" he taunted, swinging the sharp ice blade toward Ethan's neck.

Ethan merely smiled disdainfully.

Without dodging, he thrust out one palm.

The deadly combination of blood and essence exploded forth.

The ice blade dissolved instantly under the assault.

His palm closed tightly, seizing Cain Ashenvale's wrist.

Cain's posture faltered in shock as the melting ice blade vanished before him.

He scowled deeply, his face darkening.

"Haha, interesting…but not enough!" he snarled.

"Get out of my way!"

A violent roar burst from Cain as spiritual energy surged, attempting to break Ethan's iron grip, but to no avail.

Ethan's palm was like a tiger's fang, biting his wrist mercilessly.

"Open!" Cain shouted fiercely.

Spiritual energy flooded his body, and a shimmering golden sword materialized in his other hand.

The long sword gleamed sharpened, engraved with ancient sigils with spiritual energy roaring across its blade.

Sword intent surged like a rising tide from Cain's core.

It wrapped a domain around Ethan, suffocating and crushing the air itself.

Yet despite the crushing sword intent, Ethan's blood and essence remained unyielding.

"Break!" Ethan muttered low and sharp.

Blood-colored steam erupted wildly like grasping octopus tentacles, tearing through Cain Ashenvale's sword intent domain like paper.

"How can this be?!" Cain's eyes widened in disbelief.

But he had no time to ponder.

He dove into focus and silently recited a sacred mantra.

"Heaven-level swordsmanship, piercing the clouds and seeing the moon."

The shattered sword domain reformed instantly, converging into the golden blade once more.

Cain swung his sword in a flurry—left swing, raised overhead, then downward slash.

Sword intent roared with fury, carving deep cracks into the surrounding space.

"If you don't release me," Cain hissed, "I will cut off one of your arms!"

The golden sword morphed into a sickle-shaped crescent, slashing toward Ethan's arm with deadly precision.

Heaven-tier spiritual martial arts combined with powerful spiritual swordsmanship.

If Ethan didn't let go, his arm would be cut in this strike.

Yet Ethan's other hand condensed scarlet blood into a massive, clawed hand that struck out, crushing the cutting sword energy.

Then his hand clamped down, gripping the golden sword like a beast seizing prey.

"Holy Land of Endless Mountains, Young Master of the Ashenvale Family?" Ethan snorted.

"You are nothing more than that!"

With that, his momentum exploded violently—like a majestic dragon descending from the heights of the mountain, roaring with overwhelming force.
