Chapter 423: Baptism
Chapter 423: Baptism
Martial cultivators with higher level Laws are actually a bit of a rarity across the God Galaxies. After all, only a very select portion of the endless population is geniuses that can stand far above the masses.
Thus, the people who can actually comprehend higher-level Laws, such as Time Laws, are all a terrifying force to be reckoned with.
Given the proven legends, Peng Fu couldn’t help but worry about his masters. At this moment, he just needed one more facet of information.
He asked calmly asked another question, “That really does sound promising for Lord Wen Shao. But won’t there also be other Divine Decree Lords at the inheritance? Some even have a higher cultivation base? I’m almost certain those Lords will also go for the high-ranking inheritances. If so, just how will Lord Wen Shao manage?”
The demon youths seriously considered Peng Fu’s questions. They themselves felt a pang of curiosity over such possibilities.
Demon Tao spoke up to say, “You know…I think both of our Divine Decree Lords aren’t putting their full attention to the other Lords. But I had heard some chilling rumors. Divine Decree Lord Fire claimed that he actually found a top-class Saint-rank Fire Source to fuse with his Inner World. If that really is true, his combat prowess would take an exaggerated leap forward.”
“I’ve also heard that Lord Tang managed to find a quasi-Saint rank cultivation manual. Something even more rarer than a 3rd-grade Divine cultivation art is in that genius’s hands…I have zero doubts that her prowess won’t be anything to scoff at.” Demon Yan added his own information.
No matter how high and invincible their own Divine Decree Lord seems, there are quite literally hundreds of more exactly like Lord Wen Shao. Hell, the demon duo is even aware of Divine Decree Lords who are simply superior to their Lord Wen Shao.
The competition among Divine Decree Lord doesn’t happen all that often. Geniuses at these peak levels mainly focus on themselves and drawing out natural inspiration from the Heaven for breakthroughs.
However, when they do fight, it’s always a brutal competition where there’s only a slim chance of survival.
Peng Fu got increasingly curious as he asked, “Has there been no rumors circulating about Lord Wen Shao or even Lord Wen Dao? Oddly enough, word of mouth is somewhat important between Divine Decree Lords. At the very least, it tells the other Lords they’re not such a susceptible target.”
Within moments of thinking, Demon Yan laid his hand flat with a blank expression. “Your guess is as good as ours. All we know is that Lord Wen Shao is solidifying his Inner World to perfection. Perfecting his current Martial Skills, grasping greater control over his weapon, and even touching upon a new powerful Martial Skill. I’m not sure how much more progress he can make in such a short amount of time. But I have high hopes Lord Wen Shao will pull through somehow. Even while being lower on the ranking, nobody can count a Divine Decree Lord’s chances out.”
“I see…” Peng Fu slowly nodded. He then turned around, saying, “Well, if there’s nothing else, I need to leave now. I still have some hidden injuries to take care of.”
“Go on then.” Demon Yan and Tao waved Peng Fu off.
Leaving the royal house and taking to the skies, Peng Fu knew he had to brace himself to deliver some troubling news.
…
Back in the Dao Fragmented Core cave, miles deep within past all Spirit Formations barriers. If one could somehow arrive at this point, they would be greeted to a magical sight.
Rainbow lights continually flickered all around the cave room. Each glowing flash seemed brighter than the sun itself. It overshadowed the other Dao Fragmented Cores embedded into the alls.
The cause for these rainbow lights came from two moderately sized but massively condensed clouds.
Both clouds were strangely pitch black and yet they can still produce shimmering lights like a neon light show.
These black clouds floated respectively over Cain and Amber’s heads.
Between the duo, an invisible barrier separated them, shielding them from any disturbance from the outside world.
One can even say that these black clouds formed separate dimensions for the duo. Dimensions that not even a Heavenly Venerate can see through!
Such an occurrence would mortify the entire God Galaxy.
Cain and Amber were currently undergoing an incredibly rare process that only a handful of people in history were able to achieve.
That is, breaking through to the 9thfall stage, the absolute zenith, and perfection of the Divine Origin realm!
From 8thfall to reaching close to 9thfall was a simple process. Even with only a small portion of essence from the Dao Core Fragments, it provided the duo enough to form the rest of their Inner World essence marks.
No Martial perception barrier impeded their Spiritual Sea because of the duo’s high attainment levels.
Furthermore, because of the Chaos energy fused into their bloodlines and the black lightning within them, fusing the portion of essence into their internal body and Inner World went at literal light speeds.
As of now, Cain and Amber were the cusps at forming their 99th essence marks.
With complete control, Cain was only a few steps away from fulling manifesting his 99th essence marks into reality.
His Spiritual Sea tremendously broadened, his intelligence vastly increased, and he felt far closer to Divine Source Laws and Divine Qi principles than anything he experienced while in the 8thfall stage.
Just when Cain was near completion, the black Origin cloud above him suddenly wildly pulsated.
In an instant, a stream of rainbow essence poured out from the cloud and directly into Cain’s head.
This rainbow essence exuded a soul-stopping presence. It didn’t seem like it was part of the mortal universe, but rather something above it entirely.
Even grand Primal Sovereign experts would bend the knee in the face of this boundless presence.
This rainbow essence came from a direct source. The energy essence and Law essence of a Heavenly Great Dao!
Throughout the Divine Origin realm, cultivators would only experience tiny traces of a Great Dao.
These Dao traces, as tiny as they appeared to be, contained a tremendous amount of potent essence. This potent essence inevitably causes strains on both one’s Inner World and Spiritual Sea.
Only one with high enough attainment in the source paths and a powerful Inner World foundation can survive the onslaught of Great Dao essence, fortifying their entire beings for future fall stages.
When a cultivator can no longer surpass a Divine Origin bottleneck, this was their final Martial talent limit. They would have no choice but to break through into the Great Divine Sea realm in order to withstand the overwhelming essence of a Dao Core Fragment.
For Cain and Amber?
Not only had they gained an early start with a Dao Core Fragment comprehension but they can also experience the 9th fall stage baptism!
After the Divine Origin stage, it would become all but impossible to expand one’s Inner World by a massive margin.
Due to the requirements of reaching the Great Divine Sea realm, which includes breaking into the center of the Inner World and reforming it, it puts an unbreachable standard on the space stability and size of an Inner World.
Once one reaches the Holy King realm, their Inner World has the possibility to expand. But just reaching this legendary realm already requires an Inner World with a monstrous foundation and an immense boundary space size.
The Qi and Laws a Holy King master can absorb would be even more potent than the Qi and Laws of a planet within the Divine Plane!
While not a God Galaxy planet, a Holy King can be considered equal to the essence of a world. Their Inner World foundations would need to be tremendous because of the previous realms to contain such a power.
Thus, the higher the fall stage in the Divine Origin realm is as close as enough to estimating a cultivator’s future.
Out of all fall stages, the 9thfall stage is evidently the most critically life-changing.
The rainbow baptism of a Great Dao surpassed anything a Divine Origin cultivator could ever experience.
Cain was in complete awe as Heavenly Great Dao’s essence continually flowed into his Spiritual Sea and then throughout his internal body.
His mind felt it all.
The Dao, the Heaven and Earth, the Laws of Lightning, the Laws of Chaos, the Laws of Space, and even the Laws of slavery!
All of these energy sensations mixed within Cain’s Spiritual Sea like a melting point.
With so many sensations running through him, it would be obvious to believe any mind would become befuddled.
However, no matter how potent one energy sensation was, Cain never felt the slightest bit confused. His soul energy smoothly enraptured each energy sensation as his mind deeply study upon them.
At the same time, the borders of his Spiritual Sea cracked open and burst. It began to expand at lightning speeds!
Flickers of mysterious black lightning continually appeared as the Spiritual Sea expanded beyond all limits.
While his Spiritual Sea experienced rapid bouts of evolutions, Cain’s internal body was undergoing the same process. His Inner World specifically underwent a massive transformation.
The clear skies of the Inner World had now transitioned from a brilliant rainbow into an endless and dazzling blue lightning storm.
Powerful Law essence discharged from the dazzling lightning sky, fusing into both the space of the Inner World and into the essence Marks.
As of now, 198 colorful lines of essence decorated Cain’s Inner World.
99 of them were Divine Qi Marks while the other 99 were Lightning Law Marks!
Both sets of essence mark frantically pulsated as Heavenly Great Dao’s essence continually poured into them.
In turn, the essence marks released waves of essence that impacted the borders of Cain’s Inner World, breaking past its limits, expanding, and also solidifying its space structure.
Black Lightning, just like within Cain’s Spiritual Sea, also occasionally flashed throughout the Inner World. Each flash produces its own essence that strengthens his Inner World in all aspects.
The 9thfall stage baptism continued to fundamentally change Cain and Amber’s cultivation, and soon enough, the duo was reaching its end.
