Chapter 302: Instincts
Minutes later, Cain was finally done stabilizing his breakthrough.
He slowly opened his eyes, revealing his abyss-like pupils that seemingly crackled with bright lightning. As he came to reality, he was in quiet awe.
The power coursing through every fiber of his being was mind-shattering. Cain felt powerful, truly powerful to degrees he couldn't possibly predict.
With just flexing his palm, Cain literally felt as his joints were exploding with great energy!
Excitement wildly surged!
Cain's grin briefly broadened to a maddening length. His blood was roaring to find a great enemy to dominate!
But before Cain became too drunk with power, he released soul energy to forcefully suppress his emotions.
His gaze snapped over to Kali and Amber, only to see they both were at the cusp of their breakthrough.
Heavenly energy continuously flowed into them as their auras wildly surged.
At this moment, Shi Wei suddenly called out to Cain, explaining, "Both little Kali and Amber are in the final process of fusing with Sky Sage Qi. I estimate they should be done shortly."
Cain nodded while slowly standing up. As he assimilated back into reality, a strange yet familiar sensation was swirling within Cain's Spiritual Sea.
It held a vague feeling of foreignness, but as seconds trickled by, it became increasingly familiar to him, just like an intuitive sensation.
'Hm?' Cain knitted his brows in slight puzzlement. He promptly stimulated his Soul's Core, sweeping his soul sense over himself.
Instantly, Cain detected a significant change within his Soul's Core.
Information that wasn't directly explained to him in words but was still relayed to him engraved itself in Cain's Spiritual Sea.
His eyes brightly lit up over this information, excitement bubbling through him like a volcano!
'Ah! Great! This is great! My Heaven and Earth attainment path greatly increased! Now, I am a quasi-expert with Threshold success. Just how much has my combat prowess increased now?'
Throughout Cain's excitement and question, he still swept his soul sense out into the environment.
It was an instantaneous sensation.
The Heaven and Earth environment felt several degrees less mysterious to him.
If he were to comprehend Sky Sage Qi right now, he would be able to rapidly grasp its complex energies' properties. Furthermore, the rate of converting it into dense Qi energy would be noticeably quicker.
It all stemmed from this more excellent intuition sensation.
Now, some knowledge about Origin energy that was previously mysteriously to him would be revealed in front of his mind.
Cain reported his success to Shi Wei in an eager tone. "Grandmother, I had great improvement in my foundation. Now, I am at the quasi-expert level of my Heaven and Earth path!"
"Oh really now?" Shi Wei curiously curled her brows for a moment before a realizing glint sparkled in her eyes. "Ah, I see. It may be only a small portion of his Martial comprehension, but it was nonetheless enough to push you past this final barrier. Years ago, Nightmare Lord was indeed a great genius, even recognized by the Heavenly Great Worlds. His perception abilities and combat prowess were outstanding. As for you, all of those Soul's Core was bound to push you past your limit sooner or later. This Heavenly energy provided a great shortcut."
A hint intrigued plagued Cain's tone as he then asked, "Just what was Nightmare Lord's attainment level, grandmother? Does it make such a huge difference even at that high level?"
Shi Wei replied, "It's a bit more complicated than that, little Cain. There are numerous means that play a factor in Heavenly Venerate's fights. However, attainment level does indeed make up a critical factor in battle. More often than not, great geniuses with higher attainment paths are far more likely to win most of their battles."
As she spoke about this subject, another topic relating to this streaked her mind. "Speaking off combat prowess, unfortunately, I have not made any substantial progress with the Chaotic Emerald, little Cain. It is just as a mystery to Nightmare Lord as it is to me."
"Oh, that, we can't really do anything about that grandmother, right?" Cain casually shrugged, treating it very lightly.
At this point, he still hasn't made any progress on comprehending Chaos energy or that Ancient Manual book. He hasn't even seen the appearance of the Chaos Words again.
But Cain's aware the stronger he becomes, the more secrets will be revealed.
In direct contrast, Shi Wei didn't hold the same causal attitude.
She solemnly said, "The most I had searched about it is the fact that Chaos energy is indeed equal or perhaps higher than Heavenly Venerates. For our world, it is safe to continually use."
A contemplative look dawned on Cain's face.
Shi Wei's words made him realize the slight possibility of Chaos energy getting revealed to the whole world. Or, at the very least, it will be recognized that Cain is cultivating some form of powerful energy surpassing Heavenly Venerates!
The danger was clearly evident.
However, Cain had no intentions of ever discarding Chaos energy. The benefits he can gain are enormous, going up to a level that will defy the common sense in the world.
His main combat prowess relies on Chaos energy; naturally, he couldn't get rid of it.
When the situation presented itself, Cain felt assured about experimenting on just the maximum limit his Chaos energy could extend to.
For now, Cain quickly assimilates back into a cultivation state, awaiting the girls' breakthrough.
….
Time quickly passed, and soon enough, two incredibly powerful Sky Sage auras surged throughout the space.
Kali and Amber's quivered as Sky Sage Qi sparsely gushed out of their bodies.
Once again, Shi Wei cast pondering gazes on both Kali and Amber. She felt a little more surprise over them, inwardly thinking, 'Little Cain has that Chaotic Emerald that is close to the mystical realm. But, these girls…is it because they have a small portion of that energy flowing through their veins? Or has Heavenly energy tremendously transformed them beyond my expectations? Either way, things will somehow change even more.'
Cain had already awoken from his cultivation state, standing upright while eagerly awaiting for the girls to finish stabilizing.
Inspecting them with his eyes and Spirit Sense, Cain could admit their beauty was enchantingly elevated.
Kali exuded a stifling beauty, one that makes it seem hard to approach. Her face, even when her eyes closed, carried a natural ice-cold expression and a hint of superiority.
While Amber's calming grace could pull you into her momentum. She was the picture example of a sleeping angel that exudes a natural magnetic charm. Her gorgeous face nearly seemed perfect, almost doll-like.
Cain thought to himself for a moment, recalling a phrase that would fit them quite well, the so-called kingdom toppling beauties.
But at this point, Cain was barely moved by beauty.
This Divine Boundless Heaven quite literally has an endless number about them.
What truly made these beauties distinct were the natural charms and auras that they forged throughout their life.
And on this point, Cain could safely say that the ice-cold Kali and calming Amber are distinctly unique to him.
While warped in his thoughts, Amber's eyes suddenly started to tremble. Her gorgeous crimson pupil slowly revealed itself, showcasing a hypnotic swirl of black Shadow Law essence within the depths of her pupils.
At the same time, Kali woke up. But she was completely different from Amber.
Kali's eyes snapped wide open in an instant. Her icy expression twisted into utter fervent excitement.
As if it was her natural instinct, she locked her fervent gaze right onto Cain.
The siblings' locked eyes, an immediate stifling atmosphere brewing between them.
Then, without any words or indication, Kali attacked!
A faint blue glow shrouded Kali's body as her aura surged on her instinct.
She whipped quickly forward, nearly turning into a trail of light. Her small delicate fist crashed towards Cain with a suffocating momentum!
A formless air pressure exuded from her fist, causing Cain's Dragon robes to rustle even before she got close.
As Kali's crushing fist whipped towards him, Cain could undoubtedly sense the power behind it was incredible!
Just a causal fist even made him knit his brows. But, a slight, confident smirk tugged Cain's lips.
'Then let's play for a bit.' Cain clenched his palm, forming a fist that crackled with explosive power.
He swung his fist, striking out at speeds that completely matched Kali's soaring momentum.
A faint green glow nearly made his strike seem like a light of green.
'Bang!'
Fist against fist, a screeching metal sound echoed out in the white space. Shockwaves akin to two explosions crazily surged out from their clash.
Amber had already woken up, her eyes squinting as the shockwaves swayed her long crimson hair and Dragon robes.
She could roll her eyes as she slowly stood up, not even realizing the shockwaves couldn't affect her at all.
At the same time, a clear shine brightens within Shi Wei's eyes.
Cain and Kali stood in a struggling deadlock. At some point, their small smirks broadened into maddening battle-hungry smiles!
They both were growing more crazed at the seconds. Neither were sure why but they felt as if a primal instinct deep within their souls was itching to break free!
They needed to fight and dominate all opposition. They needed to run wild and rampant, crushing all beneath their mere auras!
Dangerous dark lights flashed within the Dragon siblings' eyes.
But before anything could erupt, Amber quietly sighed while wavering her hand.
A stream of cool Spirit energy surged like a refreshing breeze that washed over Cain and Kali.
Without any property defenses, the spirit energy easily penetrated into Cain and Kali's bodies.
The Spirit energy had a magical effect. It seamlessly infused into various parts of their internal body, causing their roaring, pumping blood to quickly fall into a slower tempo.
Cain and Kali blinked their eyes, curling their brows in a mix of puzzlement and slight amazement.
They were keenly aware of the wonders of Spirit energy. But never had they experienced something quite like this.
Amber, at this time, was ruefully smiling.. 'My, those two just seems to get rowdier with each breakthrough.'
