Chapter 508: Assassination
Chapter 508: Assassination
“So? Your plans now? I’m sure you would want to continue training with me Martial Sister. So what about you?” Cain asked, genuinely curious.
Quickly taking a look between Cain and Jin Ya, some fantastical idea spawned in Ren Bao’s mind. These ideas came from subtle rumors passed around the sect. It even subconsciously affected his next moves.
But of course, Ren Bao didn’t let anything show on his face. He simply said, “I will take my own leave. After that fight, I feel as if I’m close to making a new step in my Laws. I wish you two the same amount of luck, Martial siblings.”
Ren Bao didn’t waste a second longer as he promptly left the scene. He trailed right over to the Wind Law Field.
Alone, Jin Ya gave Cain an odd glance. Visible confusion swirled in her eyes as she said, “You know, we spar many times in the past, but it was only through my training with you did Ren Bao actually seems to be improving. Not just his cultivation, I barely see him be this respectful to another. At least in our age range.”
Cain smiled and lightly chuckled. “His attitude change is him simply knowing the great disparity between me and him, despite how arrogant that sounds. Plus, I can tell that your own Law comprehension had greatly improved with me. It’s only natural people will benefit from you if you were to spar.”
“Mn. I see.” Jin Ya solemnly nodded. She seemed to take Cain’s causal words as actual advice. Though when considering the continuous feats Cain has, it wasn’t that odd to think he has a plethora of answers.
Jin Ya shook her mind of distracting thoughts and then settled into a meditative position. Her eyes closed as Divine Sense went into its maximum focus.
She breathed out, “I’m ready.”
Cain wordlessly nodded. As Draconic Lightning flickered in her eyes, a subtle feeling of excitement started to bloom from his soul.
…
The day quickly passed, and soon it was the dead of the night.
Truthfully, night and day don’t really matter to even cultivators in the Divine Origin realm. Sleep, or any other mortal essential, is replaced by simply absorbing the Divine Essence of the Heaven and Earth.
But even with this, Heaven and Earth’s Divine Essence can’t replenish a cultivator’s soul energy or the Spiritual Sea. Continuous use for long periods of time can cause strain on anyone’s soul’s core or the Spiritual Sea.
When one’s fully drained, the night would have fallen. And by this time, cultivators and World Spirit Masters would return to their abode to enter into a meditative rest.
p<anda> At this time, inside Cain’s royal house, the duo was in such a meditative rest.</anda>
However, after an unknown amount of time passed, Cain and Amber slowly open their eyes. They flashed each other a mysterious grin at the same time.
Not a single bit of warmth was in either of their eyes. Only a deathly cold chill that could freeze Divine Origin cultivators to their bones.
That kind of look meant only one thing.
Death was coming!
Amber casually leaned back as if their next moves weren’t a big deal at all. “So it’s finally time, huh? That Zi Yan really did go far and beyond. Not just Juo, we can potentially find out more of other Wen Shao’s subordinates.”
Indeed, the main reason for the duo’s confidence was all the intel provided by them through Zi Yan. They know accurately where Zi Yan lives and his exact schedule.
All that was left was to let the storm of their news die down and create a stable reputation within here.
Now that this was accomplished, it was the perfect time to strike!
Cain slowly stood up, coldly chuckling while stretching his bones. “Though it’s just only a one-stage boost, I feel much more powerful. Not just that, the Lightning Law Field is still greatly deepening my energy principles and Spiritual Sea foundation. My Chaos energy made great steps in comprehension and control because of this. If I were to fight them now, I can kill Du Hu and Delan at their full power with only half my strength and in just one or two moves.”
“And with that world-breaking Chaos energy, Juo won’t even know how he died.” Amber suddenly found it amusing. “Usually, these types of situations are only said to those far weaker than their foes. But here we are, plotting to kill a powerful World Spirit Master like he’s nothing more than a wild beast.”
Even Cain paused to realize just how wild their current achievements were and how much more insane their future achievements would be.
The disparity of absolute strength never really mattered to either of them. Their prowess simply grows too quickly.
However, to even top-ranking core geniuses, Supreme Elder direct disciples, and Divine Decree Lords, none of them can say they’re completely assured of themselves.
None of them can even say they can dominate a genius on the same level as them, much less cleanly kill them without any disturbances.
A task like assassinating a Gold World Spirit Master would seem impossible for even a Holy King.
Yet, common sense never applied to the duo.
Cain subconsciously gained a blossoming smile. “It really does feel good to always be in control, huh?”
Perhaps there will be a time when his prowess and special abilities won’t matter at all. But before that time come, Cain would do his all to prevent it, by taking the greatest advantage possible.
Nodding to Amber, Cain simply said, “This won’t take long.”
Amber closed her eyes with a satisfied grin, already expecting the prize.
Cain promptly stimulated his Chaotic Emerald, bringing out his Chaos Soul Sense. In an instant, his Chaos Soul Sense expanded out for hundreds of miles.
Numerous Divine Auras and other energy sensations swirled through Cain’s Spiritual Sea. Heaven and Earth’s Divine Essence, World Source Laws, geniuses’ Martial Divine Aura, and of course, the occasional World Spirit Master Aura.
Cain focused his Chaos Soul Sense onto one specific target several hundred miles away from him and above his current plane.
This target lived alone and rippled with powerful Spirit energy Law principles. His Spiritu Aura was completely superior. It could suppress half-step Divine Ruler easily and contend against the principles of a full-fledged Divine Ruler.
This person is the Gold World Spirit Master, Senior Master Juo!
At this time, Senior Master Juo was in a meditative state. A faint golden light flowed around his body. Spirit energy Law principles rippled the air as Senior Master Juo continued to comprehend his arts.
Seeing this through Chaos Soul Sense, killing intent blazed Cain’s eyes. In an instant, his Chaos energy surged, causing a faint green light to shroud his body.
Cain took an invisible step forward. That one step instantly teleported him through the Void Space completely undetected.
The various hidden energy detection runes throughout the genius living quarters couldn’t pick up on Cain’s movement at all.
Senior Master Juo’s well-protected house, enforced by numerous Spirit rune detection symbols and other means of protection, completely failed to stop and detect Chaos energy!
As the sensation of space twisted all around Cain, he instantly appeared right behind Senior Master Juo’s back.
He didn’t make a single sound as if he was an actual ghost!
Furthermore, his Divine Aura and natural presence didn’t ripple with any sensation. His Chaotic concealment made Cain invisible to any and all Divine Sense detection.
Senior Master Juo diligently meditated on his Spirit Arts without a care in the world. His face was serene as he appeared to be making great progress.
Never in a million years would he think that the end appeared right behind him.
Cain didn’t bother looking around Senior Master Juo’s room. He also didn’t dare to make up one step forward. Instead, he conjured up Chaos energy in his right palm and flicked it straight toward Senior Master Juo’s back.
If Cain were to use the Chaos Spirit Force or Chaos Chain, nobody would be able to perceive the energy principles behind it. However, the sheer power of both techniques could still create boundless pressure for whoever facing it.
However, this Chaos energy was soundless and couldn’t be sensed. It silently entered Senior Master Juo’s body without him ever realizing it.
In that moment, Senior Master Juo suddenly felt an ominous sensation from his soul.
His body jerked, feeling a strange premonition. A sensation that he should’ve felt a long time ago. One that directly correlates to his life!
However, the very moment he experienced the premonition, it was already far too late.
Senior Master Juo didn’t know what happened or how it happened. But in an instant, his whole entire vision went completely green. Nothing but green expanded before his sight.
Within the green, there were very faint images that he could see but couldn’t possibly make out.
At the same time, Senior Master Juo’s Spiritual Sea was in complete chaos! He couldn’t focus at all. His soul energy went out of control, which dropped all of his energies to the very bottom of the abyss.
Senior Master Juo felt as if he was thrown into an inescapable nightmare that controlled his mind.
In this state, he was at his absolute weakest!
For a brief second, Cain coldly smirked. This was the second Martial Skill he gained from breaching the 3rd layer of Chaos energy.
Chaos Illusion!
If the Chaos energy could penetrate straight into a person’s body, it will instantly latch onto their soul’s core and throw them into an illusionary trance.
Even if his foe were at their full power and fully alert, Chaos Illusion would still completely disrupt their balance for a few seconds.
In that type of battle, it could spell the end for Cain’s enemy. They would be able to force through the illusion with overwhelming strength. But the fact stands that their souls can’t avoid being affected.
And Senior Master Juo wasn’t aware at all of Cain’s presence or sneak attack! He was hit in his half-defenseless state, leading him to be completely vulnerable.
Cain didn’t waste a split-second more. His other hand channeled Chaos energy once again. Bright Chaos energy streamed from his left palm.
Energy principles one wouldn’t be able to ever understand rippled into the atmosphere. At the same time, Cain precisely controlled the Chaos energy streams to repress their overwhelming power pressure.
Under his control, the Chaos energy streams quickly manifested into several Chaos energy chains.
Cain swung down his hand as if he was unleashing the executioner blade. The Chaos Chains broke through space and instantly tore into Senior Master Juo’s body!
