The Chaos Dragon Prince

Dark holes from the shattered-apart open space briefly appeared and spewed out chilling waves of the void space. They only lasted a moment before quickly repairing themselves. 

The color of the sky quite literally darkens beneath the blazing divine lights of the chaotic clashes. Everything around them looked to be a scenery ripped straight out of total doomsday. 

‘Damn!’ 

Xuegang was actually forced to rapidly raise her Dao powers to set up a barrier even while she was a good hundred meters away from the martial exchange. 

She was truly in breathless wonder. Seeing the power of these unfathomable geniuses broadened her horizons more than ever. 

‘Shit!’ 

Close to the raging shockwaves, Song Shen and Yang Yimu were actually forced to take a few heavy steps back. Their protective Dao auras were continually shaking, nearly on the verge of gaining cracks. 

With cold snorts, the duo flowed out of their Dao power to remain stable. 

Only Zhen Meng on their side could stay completely stable without having to raise her Dao power even more.

On the other side, Luo Na only had to take a light step back, her expression completely at ease. 

Kali forcefully planted her feet to stay firm through the icy ground Cain similarly didn’t move, but he did feel a slight tension within his palm. 

Within seconds, the shockwaves rapidly dispersed along with blinding divine lights. 

There was only a large abyss now separating from where Cain’s group and Zhen Meng’s group stood. 

The only reason the earth survived beneath these groups was because of their law principles fusing into the ground during the chaotic shockwaves. 

There was only a brief lull of silence that dominated the world. 

A moment later Cain’s group took a divine step through space. They reappeared on the side where Zhen Meng’s group, getting just meters before them. 

Kali swept her gaze through these unfathomable youths. Her lips curled into a faint, mocking smile. “Well? Tell us. Are you done with your evaluation? Are we worthy enough to stand as equals with all of you?” 

She spoke without care and all the crass. Some high and mighty profound background could not cause any ripples in her mind.

“You…” Zhen Meng, Song Shen, and Yang Yimu attempted to speak. But quite weren’t sure what to say at this moment. 

It still came as quite a shock to see their powerful Saint Tier martial skill so easily canceled out by those with far lower cultivation bases than them. 

At this point, before it could get awkward, Xuegang had shown up. She clapped and praised with a jubilant tone, “Amazing! Truly amazing. I do believe we together will have a tremendous shot at reaching the end of this inheritance. Now then, let’s get going. We don’t want to be late for when the inheritance opens.” 

“Right.” Song Shen, Yang Yimu, and Zhen Meng slightly nodded, still feeling a bit stiff after everything that had just transpired. 

It would certainly be a moment that they’ll never forget and helps reshape what the trio truly thinks about Cain’s group. 

Cain, Kali, and Luo Na didn’t care about the others’ chaotic thoughts. They finally turned their attention to the divine crystal lizard at Xuegang’s side. 

The same crystal lizard that exuded a resource sensation rather than a living organism.

Cain directly asked, “Might I ask what specific type of Dao beast is this? Never saw something like this before.” 

With a small smile, Xuegang gently petted the crystal lizard’s large head. Her hands seemingly had this magical effect.  𝑶𝑽𝓁xt.𝗇𝓔t

The crystal lizard shuddered and nudged its head deeper into Xuegang’s palm. 

As she did this, Xuegang said, “Ah, this is one of the special Dao beasts bred by our sect. This one special ability is to locate source essences that are considered extremely rare to detect on one’s own. This one’s soul and its entire body are permanently fused with marks of resource sources so it will be able to detect numerous resource trails of the heaven and earth.” 

“I see…” Cain spoke as he, Kali, and Luo Na were genuinely interested. 

They didn’t think that a Dao beast could be used in such a clever way. Especially having the ability to fuse essence energy marks into a beast’s soul was surprising to the tri. 

But in this Heaven, they must remember the power of the soul wasn’t limited at all. The Grand Four Sects would of course have the means to produce such a special creature. 

It was at this time that Xuegang stimulated the crystal lizard with her warm soul energy. 

The crystal lizard jumped, sensations of essence rippling out of its body as it nodded. Without another word, the crystal lizard began to fly down a certain trail at a swift speed. 

It would actually prefer to crawl on the ground. But most of the area for hundreds of miles was destroyed thanks to the previous clash. 

No more words needed to be shared. Xuegang’s group and Cain’s group directly follow behind the crystal lizard. 

The flight was silent for a few moments. Though, it didn’t take long before Xuegang got close to Cain. 

She, unlike her group members had already put her best foot forward for a better relationship with Cain’s group. 

There wasn’t any awkwardness or tension when she got close. She naturally chose Cain to talk with as Kali seems far too chaotic to get a good grasp on and Luo Na hasn’t spoken yet. 

Xuegang decided to ask, “Well? Martial brother, I have to ask, how are you liking the Inner Ridge? I can at least tell that you all are not from around here, correct?” 

“Wait…” Song Shen curled his brows, suddenly speaking. 

He and the others got closer to listen with Song Shen continuing to say, “Is it really your first time coming here? It would make sense why there hasn’t been any news of you three until recently.”

Cain shared a look between Kali and Luo Na. They all had the same uncaring gaze in their eyes. 

It wouldn’t do good to say that they were from another Heaven. But simply omitting a bit of the truth was also good. 

Thus, Cain shrugged, saying, “Our mentor is one who likes to travel around. We came from a faraway place, so of course, nobody will have any information on us.” 

‘A mentor?’ That piqued everyone’s interest. 

For such horrifying talents, they all wondered just what kind of mentor they had. 

Was the mentor the same horrifying talent? 

Do they also possess combat prowess that can break common sense? 

Unknowingly, everyone began to feel slightly more trepidation towards Cain’s group. 

Xuegang didn’t let it show on her face as she calmly smiled. “Is that right? Then, I am glad our fate aligned so that we met each other.” 

Since Xuegang started it, she took it upon herself to continue to talk while following behind the crystal lizard. 

The ones who mainly talked were Xuegang and surprisingly Song Shen at some points.

Cain didn’t mind at all and indulged himself in learning more about Xuegang while also speaking on various Dao topics. 

The mood became more amicable as time flew on. There would be times when Yang Yimu, Zhen Meng, and Kali would chip into the conversation. 

Only Luo Na stayed completely silent for the entire flight. At the very least, the awkward tension from the start slowly cleared away. 

Minutes quickly flew by. 

Before Cain and the others knew it, the crystal lizard suddenly landed on the snowy ground. 

“Oh?”

Landing right beside the Dao beast, everyone narrowed their gazes at a unique sight hundreds of meters away from them.
