Chapter 370: Meeting Back Up
Chapter 370: Meeting Back Up
Alarms bells pounded Cain’s mind and nearly gave him a headache. It felt annoying, but the message was instantly understood by Cain. And understanding it made his heart drop to the pits of his stomach.
That previous suffocating dread returned in full force. Cain stopped his healing process, flashed to his feet, and told the other Dragon youths, “We need to go now! That demon is somehow right on our trail!”
“Already?!” Lanwei and Yulong shot to their feet, their nerves tightly tensing.
Compared to Cain, they were only around 60% fully healed up. Their control over Qi energy is inferior to Cain, so it was only natural their healing process is slightly slower than they need to carefully direct healing energy throughout their internal body.
In this state, the Dark Dragon youths were genuinely anxious. They barely scraped by the jaws of death once. Can they really do it again?
Whether Lanwei or Yulong were fully aware of it or not, they both placed their hopes on Cain. They even hold their own opinions, hoping for Cain to create another miracle.
Cain, however, felt as much anxiety as the Dark Dragon youths.
Long-distance teleportation costs a tremendous sum of soul energy. Even with his immense energy reserves, Cain knew it was impossible for him to perform another long-distance travel in such a short amount of time.
The only option left now was to rely on their own abilities.
Cain gravely said, “We’ll need to stall for some time before I can use my previous ability again. In the meantime, let’s just fly as far as we can!”
Lanwei and Yulong silently nodded. There was no time to question how or why Cain has such immense Space Law mastery in any case. They simply needed to accept it in order to escape this perilous situation.
In agreement with each other, the Dragon youths tried flying into the skies. However, merely ten meters into the air, the island below them began to violently tremble.
A great vast amount of energy rolled out of the island and caused the surroundings to heat up to uncomfortable degrees for even Divine Origin experts.
Before the Dragon youths could question it, a massive pillar of flames suddenly burst through one of the spots on the island.
The orange flames flew higher than the Dragon youths until they covered a great portion of the skies.
Cain, Yulong, and Lanwei’s expressions turned gravely dark. This pillar of flames was directly blocking their way!
Furthermore, the power gushing from the flames couldn’t be ignored. Blindly facing it in their current conditions would only end up badly for them.
When understanding this, the Dragon youths flashed back to the ground. Their hands rapidly waved around as they formulated a Qi energy barrier of their combined might.
At the same time, the pillar of flames dropped, crashing straight down towards the Dragon youths.
With a loud bang, gleaming orange flames crazily spread out.
The pillar of flames couldn’t break through the Dragon youths’ combined might. But at the same time, Cain, Yulong, and Lanwei felt a massive sense of pressure. It felt as if they were trying to uphold a whole damn mountain!
The pillar of flames was seemingly unending. No matter how great the trio’s defenses were, the pillar of flames gushed down at a steady, consistent rate.
Within seconds, Lanwei and Yulong could already feel their recovered energy reserves rapidly dropping down. Cold dread sweeps them both.
“Ah! Cain!” Yulong desperately shouted. “We won’t be able to hold out for long!”
“Mn. We need to get out of here!” Lanwei hurriedly added.
Cain narrowed his eyes, realizing there really wasn’t any other option left. Even his own energy reserves dropped at an alarming rate under this pressure.
Cain simply gave a quiet sigh. His other hand waved out a stream of Draconic Lightning essence that once again engulfed the three of them. Invisible to the eyes were the faint glimmers of Chaos energy.
Taking an invisible step forward, Cain shattered through Space Laws and instantly teleported through the Void Space.
When the energy barrier vanished, the pillar of flames smashed into the ground. Within moments, the whole area for 50 miles became a sea of flames. And it didn’t stop at any limit, only growing at a terrifying rate.
At the same time, Cain had teleported hundreds of miles deep into this abandoned island.
Shooting out of the Void Space, he and the dark Dragon youths once again crash-landed on the ground.
This time, they quickly picked themselves up and cautiously obverse their surroundings. What they witnessed left each of them a bit stunned.
At this part of the island, nothing had that same abandoned style. Rather, the buildings, environment, and even the general air felt more thriving.
Everything appeared to be better preserved here. The buildings gleamed with a crystal glow. The ground was fully intact and the air felt genuinely divine to breathe in. It was as if a greater source of Divine energy kept things from reaching a ruined state.
Cain slowly muttered to himself, “This place is distinctly unique. Perhaps some sort of opportunity exists around here?”
While Cain trailed his gaze around, Yulong and Lanwei were staring directly at his back. Unknowingly, on their beautiful faces that always contained an unbreakable pride, there was genuine respect.
Yulong and Lanwei could count on one finger the number of youths they respect in their generations.
After all, both quite literally stand at the summit of the Heavens in terms of status.
But now, when gazing at Cain’s tall study break, they couldn’t help but feel a hint of reverence.
In both previous situations, they would’ve undoubtedly died if they faced it on their own. Yet Cain, the fable Divine Mortal, resolved both situations with abilities never before seen in another genius.
Yulong and Lanwei stood up straight and spoke in a deep tone, “Thank you, Huang Cain, for saving our lives.”
Yulong eagerly continued on, “We won’t ever forget this benevolence! You can take it as the word of a Dragon!”
“Indeed. Us Dark Dragons specifically are always straightforward and honest in our intentions. We will make sure to repay these heavy debts.” Lanwei added.
The strong must and are always greatly respected. It’s practically the unspoken rule all across the God Galaxies.
And as one of the most prideful and noble races in the Heavens, the Dark Dragons put strength at the highest pedestal.
The Dark Dragon’s sincerity was certainly understood by Cain. However, he wasn’t in the mood to build upon friendly relations now.
The danger he detected from his Chaos enhanced sense hasn’t decreased in the slightest. But Cain didn’t lose his calm.
He coolly said, “I really appreciate it. However, let’s focus on getting out of here. That Vaiser demon still hasn’t forgotten about us.”
At the very mention of that horrifying demon, Yulong and Lanwei completely froze up. A prickling sense of dread tingled throughout their entire body.
Yulong had slight disbelief in her tone as she said, “Vaiser demon…Vaiser demon! I read about them long ago, but all of our history books stated that they were all extinct. Are you sure what we’re facing really is a Primal Vaiser?”
“No mistaking it.” Cain solemnly nodded. “Previously, I had killed a Vaiser demon before. Afterward, I read from a text that told there are still some remaining Vasier demons polluting this realm. At this point, I no longer want the treasures, but rather to leave this place altogether.”
“That certainly is a great suggestion. But just how are we supposed to leave without falling into a trap or that demon again?” Lanwei warily asked.
Cain could feel the pressure building up. Yet, he forced himself to stay calm with the aid of soul energy.
The rate of his thoughts steadily increased. And just when Cain was about to come to a quick plan, the blood within his veins suddenly pulsated. A very familiar sensation coursed within his Spiritual Sea. It felt as if it was another part of his very being calling directly out to him.
Cain narrowed his eyes. He immediately identified this sensation as another Dragonkin close to him.
And not just any Dragonkin, it was his own sister!
“Come. I sensed somebody close that can really help us.” Cain hurriedly said.
Pinpointing the direction of Kali’s aura, Cain dashed off without a moment to lose. His figure flickered out of the Dark Dragon youths’ sights.
Lanwei and Yulong were briefly surprised before similarly feeling a slight tingling sensation in their veins. It instantly made them alert.
Without question, the Dark Dragon youths silently followed behind Cain.
The trio flew without any hindrance from traps. It was a bit jarring to go through, as the Dragon youths were expecting danger at every corner.
But since this was such an easy journey, the Dragon youths weren’t going to complain.
Soon enough, the trio crossed dozens of miles.
And by this point, three figures appeared within Cain’s vision. His eyes narrowed, instantly identifying the blue-haired maiden who exuded a frightening cold presence, calmly sitting in a cultivation position.
A small smile, but one full of genuine glee, curled on Cain’s lips.
