The Chaos Dragon Prince

At another manor deep within Cloudsea Holy Land. Inside, a Supreme Elder was currently with his own direct disciple.

Elder Gao calmly stood in front of a kneeling Lin Zui. A placid expression crossed Elder Gao’s face. His tone was calm, despite saying, “This time around, your mission will be a critical one. It’s not life-threatening or anything too dangerous. But you absolutely need to closely observe Lee and Xun. Note their full strength and weakness. Take every critical note that you can.”

“Master.” Lin Zui slowly looked up. A trace of worry glinted in his eyes. “Are-are we actually going to plot behind those two?”

His only thoughts towards the duo were of reverence and slight fear. Those two just seem to have absolutely zero weakness. He didn’t even want to imagine how grossly powerful they would be in later realms.

Plotting against such immense talent only seemed like a road to no end.

Elder Gao could tell Lin Zui’s thoughts with a  single glance. In the same calm tone, he said, “You believe because of our slight ties with Wen Shao that we’ll do him a favor, right? While I can’t deny Lee and Xun have the potential to become massive threats. But at the same time, they are under the tutelage of Elder Xi, one of our most loyal Elders. Even if their heart isn’t with Cloudsea, they will still hold Elder Xi at a high value. But, this also doesn’t mean we’ll completely ignore them. As I said, they are highly potential threats. If one day a falling out happens, we would have no chance to resist if their cultivation is too high. Nobody can ever be too cautious in our society.”

Pausing for a moment, Elder Gao suddenly narrowed his eyes, his entire bearing turning intense. “Another critical thing you must study is Lee’s relationship with Luo Ran. It’s impossible to do anything to meddle in. But if the opportunity does arise, you should not let them become too close.”

“Yes, master.” Lin Zui replied while attempting to calm his nerves. In all honesty, he rather maintains a stable acquaintance with the duo than forcibly make ties.

But since his master ordered it, he could only oblige. Although, even Lin Zui couldn’t help but wonder how Cain, even with his immense talent and prowess, made deep ties with three fairy-like women who all have their own monstrous talents.

Even for Lin Zui, that seems like a fantasy.

…

Several days quickly passed.

Inside Cain’s courtyard.

Streaks of luminous green lights flashed all across. Every sparkle of green light would pull Divine Origin cultivators’ souls into an endless illusion.

These green lights exuded unfathomable energy principles that even a mighty Heavenly Venerate existence would be unable to detect or perceive.

These unfathomable green lights came from an ordinary-looking youth.

Cain calmly sat in a meditative position while rays of green Chaos lights drizzled out of his body. His Dragon rune marking violently pulsated as flashes of black lightning streaked out of it.

At this moment, Cain’s Spiritual Sea tremendously surpassed his standard limits. He was enlightened to a new dimension of comprehension.

All of Cain’s focus was on breaking through to the 4th layer of the Ancient Chaos Manual!

Chaos energy overwhelmed Cain’s Spiritual Sea. Within the sea of green Chaos lights, boundless words that could shatter stars had appeared.

Cain even strained his Inner Soul Space to perceive these Chaos Words. As of now, the Chaos Words had differ from last time.

It now stated, ‘Above All Is Chaos.’

Every word contained an hidden vast meaning despite its short simplicity.

Cain perceived it as another understanding of the fundamental working of the entire universe.

Chaos energy simply isn’t any average Heaven and Earth energy or a Dao Source. It came far beyond everything, something primordial to its very core.

Why can’t Heavenly Venerate detect Chaos energy?

Because their Spiritual Sea is far too underdeveloped!

Heavenly Venerates’ existences can certainly equal to the entire universe. However, that’s still a fine line away from completely controlling or surpassing the universe.

Even then, Cain fathoms that if there is a realm above Heavenly Venerate, even those godly beings would be unable to perceive Chaos energy.

Cain could only say it’s a conception at this point. But he’s considerably assured that Chaos energy gave birth to many other Great Daos and possibly, held a great part in forming the Heaven and Earth.

These secrets were still far beyond Cain’s current capabilities. However, the mere fact he can plant this conception in his mind broadens his Spiritual Sea.

He wasn’t sure how long he was perceiving Chaos Words. Time seemed to lose all meaning. As if he was in another dimension entirely.

But finally, after an unknown amount of time, Cain’s sensed a new found power within Chaos energy!

His entire Spiritual Sea violently trembles. The Chaos Words glowed brighter than they ever had before. The green shine illuminated brighter than ten thousand suns.

If placed on the outside world, the radiant green shine could rip void space stars apart!

A tremendous pressure engulfed Cain’s mind. His head felt as if it was being slowly pulled apart by rusty nails. Such pain would’ve already rendered Primal Soveirgen masters insane.

Even Cain had to ferociously grit his teeth and gather all of his soul energy just to maintain focus!

The mental pressure was the highest he had ever experienced before.

This was the last barrier to the 4th layer. Failing to overcome this could potentially damage his Spiritual Sea and soul for absolutely nothing.

Cain knew success was his only option!

Under this extreme state, Cain split his soul energy to penetrate into his Ancient Chaos Manual and Chaotic Emerald.

His understanding of Chaos energy principles rapidly increased by the second despite the immense pressure. Thus, it allowed Cain’s soul energy to gain greater control over the Chaotic Emerald and perceive more of the Ancient Chaos Manual.

Steadily, without losing focus for a split-second, Cain gradually inched towards a new layer of Chaos power. On the outside, his body glowed up in Chaos lights. The radiant shine wasn’t very bright. But was still enough to cover a whole range of 100 meters.

“Oh?” Amber watched in wonder.

Her Divine Sense couldn’t detect or perceive anything. Her bloodline, Inner World, soul, and Inner Spirit Space have all been refined by Chaos energy in some capacity.

Hence, Amber didn’t feel oppressed being in the presence of rising Chaos power.

However, her hand had still clenched down in stress. It was a subconscious action as a stirring in her soul messed with her mind.

‘I remember when he broke through the 3rd layer…I had less innate Chaos energy from sucking his blood and it felt like I couldn’t breathe. Now, with more from his blood, not only is it hard to breathe, but it’s almost as if a legendary creature is here to wipe out this entire Holy Land!’

A trace of honest fear touched Amber’s eyes. She really couldn’t control her sensations. The innate suppression of Chaos energy was far too terrifying!

These energy principles go far beyond standard suppressions. It draws from a force that seems to surpass the universe in its entirety!

But when this sensation nearly covered Amber’s soul, it promptly vanished. The terrifying disperse along with the Chaos glow shrouding Cain’s body.

Amber let out a small breath she didn’t even know she was holding. Shaking her head, her lips curled into a wry smile. ‘Always such a crazed freak.’

At this time, Cain’s body visibly trembles at a high intensity. Millions of glass shards shattered within his Spiritual Sea. His soul energy rapidly spread further into the Chaotic Emerald and the Ancient Chaos Manual.

Cain had officially touched the borders of 4th layer of Chaos energy! The control he can exude and the power he can summon had immensely increased!

The trembling of Cain’s body suddenly stopped. Newfound information fused into his Spiritual Sea. His Aura became incomparably peaceful. Not a single hint of oppressive leaked out.

But at the same time, his presence turned unfathomably mysterious. He was a mist of energy principles no one being would be able to understand.

After a few seconds of silence and Cain’s eyes slowly open. His pupils still retained their soul-pulling black glow.

But, there was just a very faint tint of green at his pupil’s edges that is completely missable.

Even Amber, who paid attention to the minute detail of Cain’s appearance, couldn’t notice it.

Cain slowly stood up. Every movement of his body was now filled with this inexplicable trace of unfathomable power.

With just a small flick of Chaos energy, Cain was sure he could completely eradicate hundreds of half-step Divine Rulers!

Such power would leave most geniuses drunk with bliss.

And yet, Cain’s expression was dazed in slight confusion. ‘The 4th layer…it’s only the borders of it, but it’s far surpassed anything from the 3rd layer. And to think, I achieved it after only months of calmly cultivating…this is too weird…’

Cain’s philosophy of attaining great strength wasn’t any different from other Divine Cultivators. One would need talent, resources, guidance, hard work, and experience!

Chaos energy had always been fused into his soul, so Cain had no accurate judgment of his talent. Similarly, there are no resources or accurate guidance for Chaos energy.

Meaning, all Cain had to rely on his hard work and experience.

Cain knows he works hard for countless hours each day. But what about his experiences?

No matter how prideful Cain is, he’s also aware that his life experiences are lacking compared to even the direct disciples. He hasn’t encountered a true setback where the danger seems nigh impossible to overcome.

The only thing close would be his experience in the Sea Collision Realm. But afterward, Cain’s aware he had barely struggled to reach his current point.

With the immense power of Chaos energy, it would make sense if reaching a higher layer would be harder than ascending to the heavens.

However, never once had this occurred for Cain. Such ease could only leave Cain weary.

The number of unfathomable powerhouses across the God Galaxy is nearly countless. Any ancient old monster from a previous era could easily plot behind Cain’s life as if he was just a puppet.

To be nothing more than a puppet left a disgusting feeling in Cain’s mouth.

Absolutely no way he will let some old fossil take control of his life!

‘Since I can progress so much from things going so well, how much will I progress under constant threats? So much simplicity will eventually make me too lax. By then, I won’t be able to regret it! It’s time to finally take the center stage of this God Galaxy.’
