Chapter 118: Playing By Their Own Rules
Before Cain let his thoughts run wild, he calmed himself. Beyond Amber’s beauty, he also felt a sense of deep gratitude.
Just by the sweat pouring down her brows and clothes, he could tell she’s been fighting full power. Furthermore, Cain had also clearly sensed it was Amber’s blood energy that rapidly accelerated his natural regeneration.
Admittedly, Amber was far more helpful than Kali. Though Cain wasn’t foolish to admit this out loud.
Thinking of this, Cain gave Amber his most genuine smile. His tone had the utmost gratitude as he simply said, “Thank you for, well, basically saving my life.”
“Ah-ah well, you know….” Amber’s blush slightly increased.
A faint rumbling sensation coursed within her bloodstreams when looking at Cain now. And it only gradually amplifies with each passing second.
It was at this moment, Amber realized feelings are far more complicated and tiring than she ever thought!
Neither her calm nor laziness were here. It was just the rapid beat of heart pounding in her chest.
To think all of her feelings dramatically shifted in one night. And, amazingly enough, she wasn’t regretting any part of it.
Still, Amber knows it was no time for any of this. Their situation was still unknown, possibly on the border of looming danger.
Suppressing all emotions swirling in her heart, she said, “Don’t mention it. I mean, after all, you had our backs all this time. I’m just returning the favor.”
Seeing how she gradually shifted her expression was impressive.
But Cain and Kali could see through it. Their Spirit Sense was naturally sensitive to change of emotions relating to them. Moreover, it was just obvious to tell with basic social cues.
Cain and Kali’s lack of experiences didn’t make them dense at all. It’s more so, they had a critical mind to judge situations like this.
Amusement flared up in both of them. But in the end, neither Cain nor Kali pursued Amber with this. Their current situation is less than desirable.
Cain turned his gave over to the entirety of the hidden chamber, his Spirit Senses probing out.
After a quiet moment, he asked, “Just….where are we? What exactly happened while I was out?”
“Huu~. A whole lot of trouble that is. Apparently, this room has the ability to construct energy into lifeforms that wanted to kill us. After taking them out, nothing else happened so far.” Amber explained.
Hearing this, Cain decided to link with his Chaos Energy. Nothing unusual was picked up by his Spirit Sense, so this was his next best option.
In an instant, his Chaos Enhanced Sense spread out, engulfing the entirety of the chamber and beyond it within just a second.
Immediately, Cain’s brows shot up.
This Qi Energy surpassed the limits of Mortality! It was undoubtedly some form of Divine Energy.
Unlike either Kali or Amber, Cain didn’t need to rely on vague sensation. He could vividly recall the energy from God Galaxy and directly compared it to their current atmosphere.
Chaos Energy is a power that stands at the absolute summit. Its mystical abilities were slowly unraveling to Cain, and one of them was near perfected Senses.
Cain couldn’t possibly tell what level of Divine Energy this is. But he could tell the Divine Energy led down a specific trail, converging towards a single point.
Contemplating this Divine Energy took a mere few moments for Cain.
In the middle of a Demonic Area, far away from any form of civilization, could mean several things. But Cain’s mind quickly latched on to one conclusion.
He said out loud, “If I’m not mistaken….then this has to be that so-called Sword Sage Legacy. With my Soul, I can directly identify the energy here is above any Mortal. It’s what the Tan guy mentioned; this is the power of someone who reached a Godly realm.”
Given all they experienced so far, Kali and Amber had no other choice but to believe this.
How else could they explain energy birthing from nowhere and granting instant cultivation? The power that only Gods can wield seemed far-fetched on paper but made total sense now.
“So….if that’s true ….then we must’ve gotten tested. And since I killed them all, doesn’t this mean we’ve just passed?” Amber sounded slightly tired.
This test alone drained her a lot. She made killing the life’s sentences look incredibly easy, but it required her utmost focus. Something she rather not do continually.
“If we pass, I’m actually dreading what’s next. It seems things will be scaled off from your cultivation, Amber. And who knows? This legacy could increase the difficulty to utter impossibility.”
Kali wasn’t ashamed to admit her lack of courage in facing this. Unknowingly, she got comfortable enough to share some deep feelings in Amber’s presence.
In response to the girl’s worries, Cain stood without fear, stretching out the kinks in joints as if he had just got a goodnight’s rest.
Then, turning over to the girls, he smiled, “And who says we have to do things by the book? Didn’t you see me perform the impossible already?”
Kali and Amber paused. Their bodies shook as their eyes lit up in realization.
Indeed, with a cheat like Cain, would they ever need to play by the rules? This was the guy who successfully beat back a Sky Ruler powerhouse!
Ordinary or even God Galaxy logic can’t apply here.
Amber only sighed, gaining a wry smile. Not thinking is much more relaxing than trying to understand Cain’s mysteries.
While Kali felt excitement pump her blood veins. The things they could achieve even in God Galaxy will make for oh-so-fun times.
As the girls hopped to their feet, Cain linked to his Chaotic Emerald.
“Fuck the challenges, let’s head straight to the end. We’ve been suppressed enough by outside forces. Time to take the initiative. My Soul grew powerful enough to make this Supreme Elder’s legacy utterly obsolete.” An overflow of confidence oozed out of Cain.
At the same time, Kali and Amber grasp Cain’s shoulder, bracing themselves for space distortion.
Then, Cain closed his eyes, entirely focusing up.
His Chaos Enhanced Sense pinpointed the exact room where the Divine Energy was mixed in with other equally powerful energies. In this room, there was also the presence of rich Qi energy!
With the destination in mind, Cain released his Chaos Energy, shrouding them all in a green glow. Around the trio, the air trembled, and thin cracks suddenly started to appear from nowhere.
These were visibly space cracks made from complete distortion of space.
In this separate dimension, space was far stronger than what permeated the whole of the Heaven Sky Planet.
However, no matter how strong space is in here, Chaos Energy tore right through it.
‘Chi!’
The trio vanished in a green trail of light, disappearing directly towards an invisible crack in space.
….
As Cain tore through space, he was intrigued by the various different sensations.
Distorting space in the Heaven Sky Planet was akin to tearing pieces of paper.
Distorting space in the Sword Sage legacy was like smashing through numerous glass windows.
Everything was still effortless. But Cain could perceive the different sensation’s meanings.
If one is that powerful in the Divine Realm of cultivation, can they possibly enhance space through just their energy? Or do they cultivate a specific manual for it?
Cain wasn’t sure, but he did make a note to in the future study upon the power of space distortions. Perhaps he could even power up his already extremely powerful Chaos teleportation.
All thoughts for the far future.
After only a few moments of space distortion, Cain had finally sensed they had arrived at the last room. A pulsate of Chaos Energy tore open a space crack, releasing a blinding green flash in the room.
Out from the flash, Cain, Kali, and Amber safely arrived.
As they landed on the ground and their visions cleared up, the trio probed around with their Spirit Sense.
The first moment they did so, Cain, Kali, and Amber froze up. They froze not from danger but an incredible sensation of powerful energy!
“This….holy. I never felt energy be so sharp! Really, not bad.” Already, Kali was incredibly impressed.
This energy felt like there was a blade just inches away from her neck, ready to claim her life at any time. The level of danger only fueled her drive to explore this place. Undoubtedly the treasures here will be great.
“You know….this feels familiar….” Amber fell into slight contemplation. Various memories shifted in her mind until coming to one conclusion. “Ah, that’s right. This has to be Sword Energy. The sensation is extremely similar to when I saw those Jade Sword Palace disciples fight. A surprisingly less troublesome group of people if you just leave them alone.”
“You were watching fights? It had to be some mandatory event, right?” Cain accused.
“Would it be anything else for me? Basically, some cocky geniuses of ours did this whole big event with the Jade Sword Palace because of his cultivation method or something. Unfortunately, I was dragged along to watch as some representative.”
“I see….” Cain had a genuine interest in that tale. Sounded like something he could use to his advantage.
But before he could ask more, his eyes curiously glanced around their scenery.
It was a roughly spacious room about hundreds of square feet wide. Things here were designed in a vault-like place.
Numerous golden stone boxes littered the area, multi-color Crystal Beads were clamped up into large groups and magnificently designed weapons hung on the walls.
But the biggest attraction, the one that got Cain, Kali, and Amber’s attention, was at the far back end of the wall.
There the Sword Energy was the richest, and a shiny, magnetic radiance emitted from there.
