The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 218: Potent Auxiliary Effects

“Not even my tough body can resist it?” 

Cain pursed his lips in increasing amusement. Unknown to Amber’s knowledge, his mortal body is the descendent of True Royal Dragons.

Perhaps his lineage may not be the peak of all Dragon kind as there are higher realms, but they certainly stand at the summit compared to any other Human or Monster race.

Moreover, his Mortal body also has refinement from the incomparably tough Astral energy. Another essence that can tremendously boost anyone’s Mortal Body to high intensity. 

With these factors combined, Cain was highly doubtful.

His voice had a slightly teasing tone as he said, “I very much doubt this can affect my body. Besides, just what does this Spirit Art specifically do? Never heard of this type of ability on the Martial Side.”

As Amber quietly listened, she was gently caressing the Spirit Scroll. Now at the threshold stage, she experienced a far deeper connection by mere touches. Every slight touch produced an unforgettable Spiritual sensation that carved deep into her Mental Psyche.

Information that she couldn’t precisely understand before was now rapidly becoming clearer. She had even gone silent for a moment, contemplating both Cain’s question and this new increase of knowledge. 

Swirls of Spirit energy vaguely whipped around as the room filled into a relaxing silence. 

Naturally, Cain didn’t have any problem with such silence. By just basking in this atmosphere, he even felt his Spirit Sea slightly stimulate.

The moment didn’t last for too long, however. 

Amber’s eyes soon glossed with a bright spark of Spirit energy, her pupils briefly shining a brilliant green. At this time, the Spirit Essence of the Spirit Paralyzing Art became a bit more profound within her Mental Psyche.

“Ahh…very interesting indeed. This Art will directly paralyze or even fry your central nervous system! It’ll basically make anyone into a vegetable almost instantly.” Amber spoke in gradual realization, excitement blooming within her eyes.

The Spirit Paralyzing Art indeed is a wonderful technique. Its Spirit Essence directly focuses on the special auxiliary branch. 

Out of all Spirit Essences, this branch can directly help in and out of combat. 

Wanting to precisely mess with an internal’s body nervous system would seem like a challenging, near ridiculous task to Martial cultivators. But auxiliary Spirit Essence effectively dealt with this with complete ease.

Feeling a growing curiosity, Cain couldn’t help but ask, “Paralyzing the nervous system? Isn’t that almost, if not identical to the potency of Lightning? I know whenever any foes of my get directly struck by Lightning with weak defenses, they can’t move afterward.”

“Maybe because they’re either kick the bucket or you cripple them, crazy guy….” Amber wryly smiles. “But seriously, this Spirit Essence differs heavily from Lightning. No matter how much control you have over Lightning, it will always have a destructive force behind it, right? This is simply the basis of all types of Qi energies. As for this Spirit Essence, it contains zero destructive force. The Spirit energy will directly pierce right into the body, flowing into the veins as if it was a stream of water. And then…bam! The whole body will get completely paralyzed. At least in theory.”

“Is that right? Alright then. Let’s test this mystical effort for all its worth.” 

Cain couldn’t come up with any arguments for the destructive force of Lightning. Even his Lightning Draconic Arts directly informed him that this specialty of Lightning is among the highest of destructive force. 

This is why his training of this Art revolves around taming this destructive force and utilizing it to absolute perfection. 

Still, even when considering this, Cain wanted to personally experience just how potent Spirit energy really is.

If it could penetrate through all of his bodily defenses, this would be a very concerning issue to look into in the future. 

“Mn, alright. Ready up then.” Opening and raising her palm, Amber slowly closed her eyes.

Her Soul’s Core slowly linked to her Spirit Space, stimulating her Spirit Core. Gradually, Spirit energy spread through her internal body, engraving each of her body parts with its specific sensation. Then, the Spirit energy slowly traveled towards Amber’s open palm. 

This slow, snail-like pace was the best sensation Amber could ever hope for. She slowly harmonizes herself with revolving the Paralyzing Spirit Art, causing her comprehension of it to steadily increase.

Around 30 seconds passed until Cain spotted the swirls of Spirit energy gathered upon Amber’s open palm. 

In that moment, his attention stays rapt, his critical Spirit Sense picking up on even the slightest of Spirit Sensation.

Through this short moment, Cain wouldn’t be gain much advantages. However, he was genuinely impressed at just deep Amber’s Spirit perception is. 

Give it some time of hardcore Spirit refinement dedication; Cain could see her reaching the Perfection Layer very soon.

Unaware of Cain’s impressions, Amber had finally reached the end of forming the Paralyzing Spirit Art. 

The swirls of Spirit energy rapidly became more pronounced, converging upon her palm until five sharp lines of Spirit energy formed. 

A subtle yet potent Spirit Aura silently gushed. 

Any ordinary peak Profound Soul cultivator would feel a chilling, tingling sensation crawl upon their limbs. It would feel as if they were approaching something deathly dangerous.

Even Cain felt a slight goosebump feeling over finally witnessing this mystical Spirit Art. His expression remained neutral, but there was a vague glint sparkling in his eyes.

Amber faintly smiled. Silently she flicked her hand, sending the five lines of Spirit energy towards Cain. 

As they flew through the air, the lines of Spirit energy suddenly acted as if they had their own consciousness. 

The Spirit energy lines split off, each directly drilling towards one of Cain’s specific acupoint. 

And against both Cain and Amber’s expectations, an incredible scene occurs. 

Each Spirit energy line tore right into Cain’s acupoint, bypassing all of his defenses while also making zero noises!

In that moment, Cain was honestly shocked. Everything happened near instantaneously, so his Spirit Sense couldn’t get a precise grasp of the Spirit energy or the Spirit lines movement.

And he wouldn’t get the chance to understand. Not when he instantly felt a slightly painful tingling sensation course through his nervous system!

The pain wasn’t anything too alarming. But it was enough for Cain to feel like there were small bolts of Lightning attempting to tear his nervous system apart. 

While this effect seemed lackluster, Cain instantly judged this Spirit Art was extraordinary!

His Spirit Sense swept over his internal body, identifying the level of potency submerged within the Paralysing Spirit Art. 

As the Spirit Sensesation course through his mental psyche, Cain briefly put forth all of his focus into his perception.

Within seconds he identifies that if a half-step Innate Lord were to experience the Spirit Paralyzing Art, it would definitely fry their central nervous system to an absolute crisp! At the very least, effectively damaging it enough to the point where their bodies wouldn’t be able to move.

This kind of potency was no laughing matter. It has to be stated that Amber had only just reached the threshold Success stage of this Art. At higher stages, the Spirit Art will only grow much stronger.

Furthermore, the potency will amplify if Amber similarly manages to reach a new Class level of Spirit energy. 

But even at her lowest level, the Spirit Art’s potency was genuinely startling. 

Cain’s base bodily defense could even tank strikes from half-step Innate Lord without any support of his energies. Wanting to breach his defense requires prowess that is at peak Early Stage Innate Qi.

And yet, the Paralyzing Spirit Art effortlessly bypasses all restrictions. 

Still, with just summoning a small portion of Qi, Cain was able to instantly suppress the Paralyzing Spirit Art.

But the fact that this Art can magically go through bodily defenses was rightfully alarming. 

If just this Spirit Essence can achieve such a desired result, what about the other branches of Spirit Essence?

For that matter, what happens when a far superior World Spirit Master was to cast this Art? 

Cain instinctively shudders at this thought. If he’s not careful, then even if his prowess outstrips that World Spirit Masters, they could still pose a genuine potential threat.

Of course, this also holds true for Martial cultivators as they all have similar means to overcoming power differences brought by superior cultivation. 

But even so, Cain didn’t believe any Martial methods are as terrifying as instant defenses bypassing!

“So? How do you feel?” 

Amber asked with evident hopeful eyes. She attempted to gauge Cain’s reaction before, but he barely moved or even twitched! 

The most she saw was him narrowing his eyes and slightly twitching his lips. For a moment, Amber nearly believes that Cain’s mortal body is completely defended against Art. 

In this instance, she felt that this crazy guy’s prowess simply holds no limit! 

But contrary to her expectation, Cain wasn’t gloating or had a prideful look. His expression was focused as he said, “It…certainly worked as intended. This Art completely bypassed my defenses and made me feel just a tingly sensation. From my Spirit Sense, I judged that any half-step Innate Lord wouldn’t be able to put any fight against this Art. Anyone above can simply suppress it like me. This Art is indeed dangerous like you confidently proclaim.”

“Ahh?? Even my mighty boyfriend couldn’t display a heaven-defying might?” Amber playfully giggles, her smile widening in pure pride. 

In her eyes, she managed to achieve something that not even his sister could perform yet.

That is actually causing damage to Cain! 

Without any need for overwhelming destructive force, Amber managed to score far beyond Kali. Such a feeling was enlightening.

Ordinarily, Amber rarely, if ever, will feel a sense of rivalry from anyone. She felt things like rivals or intense feelings of the competition were simply too troublesome and tiring to have. It will only end up burning her energy when she believes there are much better things that can be done.

Her mindset allows for her to cultivate in peace, uncaring to many steps other cultivators or World Spirit Masters are ahead of her. 

But even when considering all of this, Amber couldn’t get rid of all competitive emotions.

Try as she might to ignore it, Amber couldn’t forget all of Kali’s provocations. 

When trying to provocate her, other people would have more subtly in their manners. Or wouldn’t be able to generate anything worthy enough for Amber to respond to.

However, with Kali, her provocations were of the worst kind. She was brutally straightforward and frank. No sense of empathy will ever pour into her actions when it isn’t concerning her brother. 

Not even Amber, with a patience of a saint, can dutifully ignore these brutally honest provocations forever. She ever felt faint pangs of wanting to directly confront Kali and shut her mouth up for good.

But doing so requires some sort of monstrous prowess she knows she’ll never be able to achieve in her lifetime. 

Never would she believe she had actually gained a way to finally directly affect the siblings by just following her passion.

Naturally, Amber couldn’t suppress her eager smile. She brightly spoke, saying, “Mn, mn. Hopefully, that stuffy girl isn’t too warped with training. I have a great gift for her!”

Seeing how pumped she is, Cain wryly smiles. Understanding the source of her eagerness, he had no intention of getting in the girl’s ways. He was mainly pleased that Amber was showcasing more active emotions. This way, her mesmerizing Vampire charm truly shined like a brilliant sun.
