Chapter 431: Back In The Lake
Chapter 431: Back In The Lake
Zi Yan, Shi Cai, and Xei Mei all froze up at the same time. The tone Cain used sent horrifying shivers down each of their spines. Killing intent thickly laced within his tone made him seem more demonic than a demonic cultivation art!
The trio had a great premonition. That the entirety of Sky Bless City will experience a fundamental upheaval.
Perhaps not just the Divine Decree Lords within the Sky Bless City, but the entire ranking list will undergo a massive shift.
Even if Zi Yan, Shi Cai, and Xei Mei weren’t under control, they would still hold utter fear of Cain and Amber’s potential.
That kind of potential is exactly why their previous Divine Decree Lord got so paranoid in the first place.
Xei Mei timidly asked, “Uhm…master? I mean nothing by this, but with this message, Wen Shao will certainly become aware of both of you. He wants everything to go perfectly for the 5 Divine King inheritance soon. If he feels too much of a threat, he might just take drastic actions.”
Nothing about Wen Shao’s personality could truly alarm either Cain or Amber. But the Divine King’s inheritance instantly intrigued them.
Cain curiously asked, “Divine 5 Divine King inheritance? I don’t believe we ever heard of that.”
Shi Cai answered this time. “Ah, that’s not surprising, master. Only peak, or really, half-step Divine Rulers and stronger cultivators are qualified to simply know about the inheritance. We only know because of being Wen Shao’s subordinates. Basically, among inheritance legacy, the 5 Divine Kings are at a high-tier Divine level! The rarity of this kind of inheritance is basically a one-in-a-million. The last time this inheritance opened was over tens of, if not hundreds of thousands of years ago. Each time it opens, the rewards are plentiful that it’s enough to make Holy King masters go crazy with greed.”
“Oh?” Cain and Amber’s intrigue increases even more. The last inheritance they participated in was the Nightmare Lord inheritance.
During that time, they weren’t even told about the level of the inheritance. All that they really knew was that a genius managed to rise from the rewards there, eventually becoming a Divine Ruler.
On the surface, just becoming a Divine Ruler pales in comparison to rewards that can intensely stir a Holy King master.
Yet, when exploring deeper, the Nightmare Lord’s inheritance was immense in resources. It was enough to fully sport Cain’s Imperial Family for hundreds of thousands of years.
Although to even get to that tremendous stash, Cain needed to put his life on the line against a genuine Heavenly Venerate existence!
If not for his Chaotic emerald, Cain wouldn’t be standing here today. Thus, when hearing about an inheritance on a seemingly greater level than the Nightmare Lord, Cain and Amber felt a mix of adventure and great caution.
The possibility this inheritance can just be another ruse from some ancient existence could very well be possible.
Even Cain could say he may not be so lucky trying to fool a legendary existence that can kill him with a thought.
Still, the temptations certainly existed within them. Cain continues to ask, “You say only half-step Divine Ruler and stronger are qualified to know. Does this mean the true competitors are all high-level Divine Rulers and above?”
“Indeed master. Only Divine Decree Lord’s Divine Rulers can actually participate in this brutal competition. Most others are well-known Holy King masters. If master desire it, we can find out more about the inheritance. We only have this barely surface knowledge, but it won’t be too difficult to find out more.” Zi Yan explained.
Not willing to let an opportunity like this up, Cain gave the green light as he said, “Do just that then. And don’t forget to deliver our message to that demon duo, no matter what. If they ask, you can just say our prowess is the same on our battle recordings. Believe us, we have no reason to fear mere Late Divine Star cultivators.”
After experiencing the might of Cain and Amber, Zi Yan’s group got swept into Cain’s overwhelming momentum.
The trio dutifully nodded. Zi Yan, speaking for them all, said “We will deliver the message and investigate this matter, master. You can count on us.”
As he said he would, Cain traded contact rings with his new Dragon slaves.
Afterward, Zi Yan’s group quickly took off into the skies, making a direct beeline towards Cloudsea’s hidden world.
Once they were left all alone, Amber gave a quiet little sigh. “Another inheritance coming up soon, huh? I hope nothing crazy happens. But it seems like either trouble comes to you, or we head straight first into trouble.”
“All of Martial cultivation is simply trouble after trouble. I’m sure even you can appreciate the variety of this life.” Cain smirked as he spoke.
Rolling her eyes, Amber relented with a sigh. “Just the kind of answer I expected from you. Besides this inheritance, you’re practically asking for a life-or-death match upon our first step in that Holy Land. Hopefully, that demon duo accomplishes some dream they greatly pine for by the time we join in.”
At this point, Cain’s turned increasingly serious. “Well…truthfully, though I seemed greatly confident, I don’t really have much confidence in facing a Late Divine Star genius with upper-tier prowess. Much less facing Divine Decree Lords or Holy King for that matter. We need Great Divine Sea to make rapid progress and stay safe. So let’s hurry up and chance our luck in the Lake of Stars.” Cain decisively decided.
Grabbing Amber’s hand, Cain continued back to teleporting towards the Lake of Stars.
…
After a few minutes of flashing through the Void Space, the duo appeared right in front of the same, seemingly ordinary lake. Cain spread his Chaos sense inside the Lake of Stars, extending it to his very limits.
The first time he came here, his Chaos sense could only cover a maximum range of around 10 miles. Attempting to go further would only cause his Chaos sense to get blocked by some kind of invisible force.
Now, however, when extending his Chaos sense, Cain’s detection range far surpassed his previous limits!
To 20 miles, 30 miles, 40 miles…and then, 50 miles! 50 miles deep caused various energy sensations to permeate through Cain’s Spiritual Sea.
With 3rd layer Chaos energy, Cain had a much smoother time just barely identifying the different energy sensations.
Some were similar to high-quality weapon energies, high-qualities resources, and even potent sources of Law essence. But above all, the energy sensation that was the most distinct felt eerily similar to his Spiritual Sea!
Faint lights of Chaos energy gleamed within Cain’s pupils. He slowly strolled closer until he was at the very edge of the Lake of Stars, silently standing there, contemplating his next move.
“Hm? Did you already sense a treasure here? If I remember…you did say there was some sort of intriguing treasure down there, right?” Amber spoke as she got down into a cultivation state.
She already knows going together would only be a detriment to Cain. Better to stay watch on the outside for any possible mishaps.
Without turning back, Cain nodded, saying, “Indeed, there’s something fantastic for us down there. Something that I believe can truly help us reach the Great Divine Sea realm. This won’t take long.”
His body glowed green as Cain took an invisible step forward. He tore right into the separate space of the Lake of Stars.
Last time, the Lake of Star’s surrounding World Source Laws was enough to slightly stalled Chaotic Teleportation.
Not this time, however.
Cain smoothly tore through the Void Space with faint green flashes. He didn’t dare to stop for even a moment, lest he wants a tragedy to befall him.
Soon enough, Cain reached 50 miles deep in the Lake of Stars and stopped. His Chaos sense spread out, hyper-focusing on the previous, distinct energy sensation.
Without any interference over a long distance, his Spiritual Sea could make a better identity of the energy sensation.
Like he experienced the first time, its principles were immensely similar to that of a Spiritual Sea. It was as if a cultivator directly tore out a portion of their Spiritual Sea and implanted it within the Lake of Star.
Furthermore, because of his stronger Chaos energy, Cain could detect that this Spiritual Sea came from a superior cultivation base.
It was greater than the Great Divine Sea realm, Divine Star realm, and even the Divine Ruler realm!
Cain had ample enough experience simply being around each of this realm from other various, powerful cultivators or the use of Divine Ruler level artifacts.
His experiences helped him directly determine that this Spiritual Sea is simply superior to those previous realms in every way. Perhaps it came from a high-rank Holy King master!
Either way, Cain was determined to get to the end of this treasure. His body gleamed Chaos energy again as he tore through the Void Space, teleporting towards the Spiritual Sea sensations.
