Chapter 381: Five At Once
Chapter 381: Five At Once
Recalling his fire star orb, the leader steward’s Divine Sense covered the whole area for hundreds of miles. When failing to perceive any more threats, he nodded towards the others, prompting them to fly over.
At this time, Cain and Amber wanted to assimilate into a cultivation state. Their Spiritual Sea was close to a breakthrough sensation for their Martial Comprehension.
Just from merely watching a Divine Star expert killing intent and released power did the duo experience advancement to their Spiritual Sea.
This was the power of intuition. Their quasi-expert level attainment in both the Heaven and Earth and Source Laws displayed its might, allowing the duo to develop their own Martial comprehension by just watching.
However, instead of taking this opportunity now, the duo suppressed the breakthrough sensation. They didn’t forget just why they were following this group.
Cain and Amber patiently waited and watched as Tian Ling’s group flew into the ordinary cave.
From here on out, the risk will be elevated. They no longer could rely on the cover of the forest to hide their appearance. Even as Chaotic Concealment will protect them from any detection, the slightest misstep can still cost them their very lives.
It was a genuine, worrying fear that caused both Cain and Amber to falter for only half a second. But they instantly suppressed this fear.
Their Martial Hearts were tempered enough to where danger like this can barely affect their mental state.
When the Tian group reached the very edge of Cain’s detection, Cain signaled to Amber and then they both flew out of the forestry area at swift speeds.
Thankfully, the group didn’t travel too fast. For some reason or another, their speed considerably slowed down a few miles in.
Rushing into the cave, Cain noticed it was actually brightly light and incredibly spacious. It felt more like a large cavern than a typical normal cave.
The duo didn’t get a chance to admire the scenery for long when they suddenly powerful tremors shook the whole cave.
Wild energy fluctuations swept past the duo like a wild hurricane. Even though these energy fluctuations barely had any of their original force, they still caused Cain and Amber to feel breathless.
Amber nearly summoned her dantian energies just to resist the remnant forces. But Cain clamped on her shoulder, transmitting to her, ‘We have to bear with this for now. Even as they’re battling, I don’t doubt we can escape any Divine Star’s Divine Sense.’
Amber tightly knitted her brows and closed her eyes. She had no choice but to force through the remnant energy fluctuations through sheer willpower.
The only aid she could use was just a tiny portion of her soul’s energy. Calming herself, Amber slowly open her eyes, determination filling her face.
Cain also had to steel his nerves to force through the energy fluctuations. His Dragon body and other innate defenses barely gave him any support in this situation.
The duo didn’t dare to be rash. They slowly walked further into the cave, making sure they kept a consistent distance from Tian Ling’s group.
All they needed to do was simply walk, but just this act alone was genuinely agonizing. The suffocating sensation of tightening their chest and gripping their throats nearly made them pass out at several points.
Truthfully, if Cain and Amber didn’t have a base powerful foundation consisting of their dantian, Spirit Space and Astral Core, they would’ve crashed to the ground, completely immobilized.
Any other average genius could’ve possibly died in Cain’s situation.
Still, no matter how challenging it was to walk, neither Cain nor Amber gave up or even stopped walking.
Without these Dao Cores, their cultivation will be far too slow to survive. And just who knows how lucky they will need to stumble upon another fortuitous encounter or have the perfect opportunity to silently follow behind a powerful group?
This trudging walk only lasted for around several minutes at best. But to Cain and Amber, it felt like a half-day had already passed. Their faces and clothes were thoroughly drenched with sweat. The joints in their bodies were practically screeching in pain under this immense pressure.
Cain felt especially amazed by this walk. His expectations of Divine Star experts were already high, but this just made them all seem like some higher beings.
Compared to them, he really is nothing more than an ant. It was equally a discouraging thought but also a thought that fueled the drive within his Martial Heart.
The day when he can achieve such power won’t be long. As a Divine Mortal, Cain was immensely confident to break all common sense of cultivation to forge his own legendary path.
With a new drive, Cain turned even calmer against the immense pressure.
Right when the duo thought this walk would last even more hours, the wild energy fluctuations suddenly stopped.
Tian Ling’s group had also stopped walking.
Cain didn’t miss this moment. He grasps Amber’s hand and teleported. They landed 300 meters behind the Tian group.
The duo blinked their eyes to see they ended up right in front of a large entrance hole. Within the hole was a cave room, and Tian Ling’s group stood inside.
In front of Tian Ling’s group were their glorious treasures.
Several bright and small crystal orbs were embedded into the back wall. These orbs all exuded a potent sensation of both Heaven and Earth’s Divine Essence and Source Laws. They contained a richness, even purer than the air outside.
For Martial cultivators, they felt extremely refreshed under the mere air these crystal cores produce.
Tian Ling’s face was shrouded in utmost glee when faced with these crystal cores. He eagerly said, “To think there would be so much troublesome beasts blocking our way. But it was all worth it. Alright, let’s-”
Before Tian Ling could finish his sentence, a faint green flash lit up the entire cave room.
Tian Ling and the stewards felt a mix of confusion. They tensed for battle, but for some reason, none of them could detect just who was daring to come here.
However, before the faint green flash could even clear away, five sources of tremendous power gushed into the atmosphere!
The energy released from the power sources was enough to briefly freeze space and then shatter large portions of it within a single moment.
Bigger black lines of space tearing than what the Divine Star experts could ever achieve appeared all around the cave room. The ground and surrounding cave walls could barely withstand the energy. The fluctuations caused numerous spots on the ground and walls to burst out into large, meters deep craters.
The material of this cave was studier than that of the outside. Even the Divine Star experts had immense trouble cratering inches deep holes in the environment.
Yet, just the energy fluctuations of the power source so easily caused massive destruction.
Everyone in Tian Ling’s group felt every inch of their entire bodies go absolutely cold. A gripping fear rattled their souls and cold sweat drenched their clothes.
They all knew exactly the type of power source this was.
‘A Divine Ruler talisman?!?’
Tian Ling and the stewards were utterly bewildered. Just who is using these talismans and who the hell could even get their hands on such monstrously powerful tools?!
These questions were doomed to remain shrouded in mysteries.
Tian Ling and the stewards wanted to desperately resist the power of a Divine Ruler talisman. However, the Law power within the talisman had already locked on to each of them, causing the surrounding space to lockdown. Their movements were nearly completely restricted.
This was the separation from Divine Star to Divine Ruler. No matter how powerful a Divine Star expert is, the higher Law power of a Divine Ruler couldn’t be beaten!
‘Hou~!!’
A resounding Dragon roar shook the entire cave room. The might of a Dragon’s presence smashed upon Tian Ling’s group, effortlessly shattering their protective Divine auras, treasure armors, and other innate defenses.
Tian Ling spat mouthfuls of blood and collapsed to his knees. He nearly fainted just from the roars. The only reason he could hold on was that nearly all the talisman’s power focused on the five stewards.
Compared to Tian Ling, the five stewards were in a miserable state. The soul pressure from the talisman suppressed their soul’s core, cracking their Spiritual Seas and slowing the rate of their thoughts down. Blood pooled out of their noises and the situation within their internal bodies was chaotic.
Within this split moment, five majestic purple Dragons rush out of the faint green flash. The purple Dragons all uttered keening roars as they reached the five stewards’ heads.
Without any chance to struggle, the purple Dragons tore into the neck of the five stewards and savagely ripped their heads right off their bodies!
Fountains of horrifying blood streams erupted into the air, smashing into the ceiling of the cave room, dying the whole scenery in a chilling sight. The stewards’ corpses crashed to the grounds, spurts of blood sparsely gushing from their decapitated necks.
At the same time, the purple Dragons dispersed into particles of light, causing the heads within their mouths to also vanish into nothingness.
Five high and mighty Divine Star experts were killed in such a simplistic yet brutal fashion. The gap of power between each cultivation realm wasn’t something to take lightly at all.
