The Chaos Dragon Prince

The pleasure of breaching a new realm of power always made Cain immensely satisfied.

The way he looked at the world heavily changed. Brighter lights of energy principles could be seen if Cain were to concentrate his Divine Sense.

He could better obverse the flow of the atmosphere’s energy principles. It almost appeared as if these energy principles were on a separate line from each other, but also tightly interlinked.

Through fundamental suppression alone, Cain could most likely deal with Peak Divine Star experts without even needing his Chaos Spirit Force, only his Draconic Lightning Aura.

All of this greatly improved prowess should’ve alleviated a good number of Cain’s concerns.

However, for a reason that piled on more of his concern, Cain couldn’t get rid of a nagging feeling from deep within his soul.

His whole journey so far has been relatively smooth. He would rarely encounter setbacks. And even when he does, it’ll turn into a huge opportunity for him to massively grow.

Cain honestly can’t buy in that he was born with this extraordinary luck that allowed him to reach this path.

If he always had great luck, then he shouldn’t have even been born in a world in which he had zero interest. Nor should the original soul of his current body have been born as a Martial cripple with no future.

Everything had all changed when Cain had chanced upon the Chaotic Emerald. A mysterious object that nobody else in his previous homeworld could find but him.

The higher Cain’s cultivation increased, the more thoughts he had about fate and destiny. It wouldn’t be a surprise to him if some extremely high cultivation master was or still is manipulating strings of events.

Even in the Divine Origin realm, cultivators would have the premonition ability from their souls. This ability will alert any cultivator to mortal danger that greatly threatens their lives.

If just at the Divine Origin realm could cultivator gain a sixth sense about incoming danger, who to say that ability wouldn’t mutate and evolve at far higher realms?

One wouldn’t need to be a soul cultivator. The premonition ability will naturally evolve through the increase of the cultivation base.

Cain can’t help the feeling that at any time, his life could be absolutely ruined by a powerhouse. Or he’s just some pawn in the greater scheme of things.

As a person with his own set of principles and pride, Cain absolutely couldn’t accept being a chess piece to anyone.

He wants to be always in control of his life!

Determination briefly flashed on Cain’s face. His eyes surged like an inferno volcano. ‘No matter if the Chaotic Emerald was pure luck or some sort of plan, I won’t let anyone have their way. With everything this world has to offer, I will gain every advantage and surpass all those peak-level masters! I won’t just be a Divine Mortal or some legendary genius. I will be the one to form new Great Daos that everyone can only look up to. My Great Daos will be known for all of eternity!’

It was subtle, very subtle. But at that moment, a massive amount of hidden tension drained from Cain’s body.

His face appeared far more relaxed. An invisible burden on his shoulder that had always chained him down largely cracked open.

Then, abruptly, Cain detected a huge change in Amber.

Her Spirit Aura was intensely amplified. Very powerful Spirit energy Law principles Cain couldn’t understand nearly overwhelmed his Spiritual Sea.

As he studied Amber’s great change, Cain nodded with a proud smile.

After a few seconds of increasing her momentum, Amber suddenly opened her palm. A ball of red Spirit energy gathered and instantly distorted the immediate space around her.

Airwaves split apart and a smaller section of space compared to Cain’s completely cracked open! Its potent Spirit energy principles had reached a level near the same as Cain’s!

Both in terms of complexity and density could Amber causally suppress Red World Spirit Master at far higher layers than her own!

Waving her hand, Amber dispersed the Spirit energy ball. She then slowly stood up while opening her eyes.

A smile blossomed on her face. Without speaking, the Dragon rune marking formed at the center of her forehead once again.

Flashes of black lightning swirled out of her eyes and she already opened her palm. In a calm tone, she said, “So this is one of the main reasons why we can reach new heights so quickly, right?”

The same grin flashed on Cain’s face. His soul energy drilled into his bloodstream, stimulating a mysterious source of energy deep within it.

The Dragon rune marking appeared on his forehead as Cain similarly surged black lightning on his palm.

Despite it being a source of energy, the black lightning actually didn’t ripple with extreme energy principles. It couldn’t suppress or overpower others.

However, it still exuded an unfathomable charm. Anyone would fall into an inevitable trance when looking into the black lightning. As if they were staring into something more ancient than time itself. As if it could lead back to the origin of all beginnings.

Cain slowly said, “When I finally absorbed the sea core, the black lightning stimulated and I could finally perceive it. My attainment level in both the Heaven and Earth path and the Source Law path has now reached the quasi-attainment level because of it. Moreover, just by being in the general vicinity of its principles, your own set of black lightning stimulated to this degree…I’m not entirely sure why or how. But, I can say that our Divine Ascension is probably something Heavenly Venerate would know about. This black lightning increased my perception abilities to an overwhelming degree.”

Amber gently sighed. “As much I want to know more about this lightning, I know that’s a terrible move. Unless we find more info in some text or find a trustworthy Heavenly Venerate, we should keep this under wraps.”

Only a fool would go around exposing their secrets to higher-ups.

It wasn’t that Divine Cultivators were innately untrustworthy or that the duo were paranoid. But that temptation of greed is something that no Divine Cultivator can escape from.

Cain and Amber could say for sure that they are also criminals of greed. This simply comes from their natural desires being amplified by cultivation.

With the strength to achieve all of their hopes and dreams, who wouldn’t want to achieve more of that strength?

Divine Cultivators who are far more experienced, living for thousands of years, know precisely how to achieve what they want no matter the methods.

Cain and Amber rather be on the safe side of caution than being too late to regret their actions.

As Cain nodded in agreement to Amber’s point, Amber looked over at his hand. She pointed out, saying, “But for now, since you have an ability that can tremendously increase your perception and the fact that your attainment level increased, shouldn’t it be time to absorb that Ice Spirit Core into your soul? I’ll admit, I am a bit curious to see how much more craze you will be after this.”

Eagerness flashed across Cain’s face. He didn’t even need Amber to remind him why he did all of this.

Undercurrents in the shadow or not, Cain put all of their thoughts to the back of his mind. It was time for him to finally gain his second Dao Law!

Soul energy surged through Cain to quell his excitement and tension. He then assimilated into a meditative state, pushing his focus to its fullest degree.

His spatial ring ignited and a small, blue icy core appeared on his palm.

Ripples of Ice Law energy principles exuded from the icy core. Cold temperatures suddenly drenched the atmosphere. It expanded at a light-speed pace.

Amber had even breathed a small patch of cold air for a moment. She surged soul energy to heat up her body while analyzing the icy core.

Her Divine eyesight couldn’t see anything particular from the surface. Only lights of ice essence energy flashed around the courtyard.

If she were to focus on her Spiritual Sea, she would have the chance to discover something unusual with the icy core. However, that wasn’t her problem to solve.

When Cain peered into the icy core, he noticed an immediate difference.

Faint rune markings covered all over the icy core. Each of these rune markings was bursting with the same potent ice energy principles.

Staring into the icy core hard enough, Cain almost believed he witnessed faint figures sitting within each rune marking.

Previously, with only a master attainment level, it would be impossible for Cain to detect these rune markings with merely his eyesight.

This would also mean cultivation masters like Elder Heng, a grand Holy King, wouldn’t be able to see anything special about the icy core.

Cain doubted cultivators with an Ice Law affinity would be able to see into its rune markings.

Seeing the icy core rune markings actually provided a benefit for Cain. Before attempting to fuse it into his Inner Soul Space, he can comprehend various complex energy principles of the icy core.

His Divine Sense interjected into the icy core and his Spiritual Sea promptly experienced an overwhelming sensation of mysterious Ice Law energy principles.

These Ice energy principles weren’t so simple, however. Ripples of misty frost exuded from the energy principles, rapidly spreading through Cain’s Spiritual Sea.

If a talent like Xu Tao were to experience the same process, he would need to cut off his connection to the icy core immediately.

His perception abilities wouldn’t be enough to quickly take control of the ice energy principles. Nor would his Spiritual Sea foundation be sturdy enough to withstand the density of the misty frost.

His Spiritual Sea would completely freeze over!

A frozen Spiritual Sea was equal to a cultivator turning into a complete idiot. Their minds would be destroyed, not being able to forever function like an intelligent being ever again.

Cain, for only a moment, curled his brows. The frosty mist made his entire being feel slightly uncomfortable. More of a nagging itch from his head down to his toes.𝞸𝓥𝐿xt.𝗇𝓔t

But in an instant, Chaos energy surged into his Spiritual Sea and quickly drilled into every inch of the frosty mist.

Nothing can withstand the force of Chaos energy. Its principles easily overpowered the frosty mist’s density and suppressed its complexity.

What all of this did was merely withhold the destructive force from ruining Cain’s Spiritual Sea. The rest will depend on his natural ability.

In that moment, Cain smirked. His soul energy stimulated his bloodstream, surging out his mysterious, black lightning!

The black lightning instantly appeared in Cain’s Spiritual Sea. Beyond every comprehension session Cain experienced before, his perception abilities broke past all limits. His mind broadened to an unfathomable level.

Without hesitation, Cain’s soul energy gradually drilled into the ice energy principles.
