Chapter 545: Months After
Chapter 545: Months After
Time smoothly passed on. It was an oddly tranquil period of time for Cloudsea Holy Land.
With no current distractions or huge events, disciples alike could fully immerse themselves in their cultivation.
Several months soon passed in a blink of an eye.
On this day, deep within Cloudsea, inside a relatively ordinary courtyard. Two ordinary-looking youths were currently breaching a new level.
Cain stood silently, a single finger of his pointed to the skies. His eyes fully sparkled with black lightning. The Dragon rune marking shimmered at the center of his forehead. An invisible presence filtered out of his body. For dozens of meters around him, a strange atmosphere stirred the air and natural World Souce Laws.
Cain took a small breath. Upon doing so, the sky suddenly trembled!
A blinding flash of blue shrouded the entirety of the courtyard. Rumbling thunders that can shake mortal countries reverberated throughout the area.
In that moment, the sky parted apart. Brilliant electricity overwhelmed the clouds.
A furious lightning strike soared straight down toward Cain! The density and complexity of this lightning strike energy principle were immense!
Half-step Divine Ruler geniuses like Sun Wei would crash to their knees from an invisible suppression. The lightning strike contained the overwhelming might of a Divine Ruler!
Yet Cain stayed completely calm. He only took one glance at the furious lightning strike. His one finger jabbed forward.
Just this simple movement alone broke the sound barrier!
The force of the finger cracked apart space and left numerous afterimages. Without any protection, Cain’s finger clashed directly against the Divine Ruler Lightning strike!
No powerful explosion or ear-breaking sound reverberated, however. Not even a single shockwave overturn the world.
The Divine Ruler Lightning strike had actually stayed completely still right upon Cain’s finger!
Even before the lightning strike came close, Cain’s Divine Sense had already penetrated deep into it. He had instantly grasped its energy principles within mere seconds. His soul energy gained a good amount of control right then.
When the lightning strike came into contact, his soul energy completely took it over!
Indeed, Supreme Divine Laws, a portion of essence from the True Great Dao, can now be easily controlled by Cain.
Of course, this lightning strike only came from an Early Stage Divine Ruler prowess. And Early Stage Divine Rulers can merely control a small portion of Supreme Divine Laws.
But even so, Cain’s Divine Lightning Law comprehension reached a grand boundary.
His finger flicked, dispersing the lightning strike. He then sighed with bliss. “Perfection of Divine Lightning Laws! Didn’t even need to fully use my Core Fragment to reach it. At the Supreme Divine Law level, just how much will my prowess jump?”
In the middle of Cain’s elation, he suddenly detected a tremendous sum of Spirit energy power radiating from Amber.
He gazed over, anticipation filling his eyes as he watched red Spirit energy spiral out of Amber’s body.
Complete focus was Amber’s only emotion. Her Spirit energy had long since reached its peak because of continuous mediation on the Source of Spirit Art.
With utter ease, Amber gathered every ounce of her Spirit energy into a singular point within her Spirit Space. The singular point of Spirit energy tremendously condensed, reaching a point where it overloaded.
A loud bang shook Amber’s entire being. The singular point of Spirit energy completely imploded into the tiniest and purest grain of Spirit energy!
Her Spirit Space was fiercely rattled. Blood trickled from Amber’s nose as sweat poured down her face.
But even in this state, her mind stayed focused. Her soul sense perceived both the purest Spirit energy grains and connected to the Spiritual Dimension.
With Amber’s perception abilities, she had an incomparably smooth time comprehending the purest Spirit energy grains.
Her rapid comprehension had then allowed her to perceive Golden Spirit energy inside the Spiritual Dimension!
Crossing the gap between Red Class and Golden Class was an immense hurdle most World Spirit Masters can only dream of achieving.
Their Spirit Space foundation needs to be filled with exceedingly dense Spirit energy principles to withstand the Spirit Energy eruption. And a World Spirit Master’s Spiritual Sea needs to be high enough to perceive the properties of the purest Spirit energy grain to then perceive Golden Spirit energy.
p<anda> Amber had effortlessly achieved these critical steps through her Quasi-grandmaster attainment and the Source of Spirit Art.</anda>
The Source of Spirit Art condensed her red Spirit energy principles at a rapid rate while her Quasi-grandmaster attainment already gave her the ability to perceive the True Spirit Dao.
Crossing the gap to Golden Class was a matter of accumulation. And because of the environment that allowed to her freely cultivate without prying eyes, Amber’s Spirit energy soared by leaps and bounds!
Soul energy penetrated Golden Spirit energy in the Spiritual Dimension. Nothing was a confusing mist in Amber’s Spiritual Sea. She smoothly absorbed a stream of Golden Spirit energy into her Spirit Space.
When just a single drip of Golden Spirit energy had entered, a tremendous change occurred.
A luminous flash covered the entirety of her Spirit Space. Golden Spirit energy principles engulfed the entire region, bringing about rapid transformations.
The Spirit Space’s structure rapidly enhances. Similar to an Inner World, it became increasingly sturdy to withstand the power density of Golden Spirit energy.
On the outside, Cain calmly watched on. The red lights swirling from Amber’s body soon turned into beautiful golden lights.
Minutes later, an immensely powerful surge of Spirit energy burst from Amber and engulfed the atmosphere!
The Dao of Spirit energy. It came in many different forms and could encompass numerous concepts at the same time.
Every World Spirit Master would have a breakthrough unique to them.
From her pure subconscious, a thought birthed from Amber’s soul. ‘My Golden Gates is to seal and to slaughter.’
This single thought fiercely shook Amber’s mind. Her path of Spirit energy mainly contained principles of both Spirit Webs and the Slaughtering Spirit Art.
Instead of conflicting with each other, black lightning surged from Amber’s cells, entered into her Spirit Space, and fused into every particle of Golden Spirit energy. Thus preventing any friction between the two conflicting energy principles.
With the friction cleansing of black lightning, Amber’s Golden Spirit energy formation turned incredibly fast.
Her Spirit Aura similarly rose to extraordinary levels!
Cain proudly nodded as he studied the rising Spirit Aura. ‘This alone can pressure ordinary Early Divine Rulers! She’s becoming just as much of a nut as me without even realizing it.’
Before the vigorous Spirit Aura could expand anymore, it had suddenly receded into Amber’s body. The golden Spirit energy lights had also vanished.
Her presence wasn’t overbearing, but there was an unmistakable pressure that would leave weaker cultivators pressed for air.
Amber slowly open her eyes. A spark of radiant golden lights filled the courtyard for only a split moment.
Standing up, Amber’s smile was soul-strikingly beautiful. “You reached lightning perfection while I reached the Golden Class level. Ah, what’s taking other decades only requires us mere months.”
She suddenly shook her head. “Seriously, I sometimes think we’re too crazed.”
Cain let out a hearty chuckle. “Hey now, our cultivation bases are still at the Late Stage. We still have some room for improvement.”
At this, Amber’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Speaking of improvement, isn’t it about time we go to Elder Xi? I’m quite curious to see how much further your ice laws can develop.”
A surge of excitement swelled through Cain. These past months were primarily focused on refining the cultivation base and increasing his combat prowess.
Divine Ruler prowess is a step in the right direction. But beyond the surface, Divine Ruler prowess really isn’t much across the vast God Galaxy.
Even ordinary peak Divine Rulers would be enough to suppress the duo.
After months of dedicated cultivation, Cain knows their prowess has taken a great leap. At the very least, they are able to suppress the direct disciples with far less power.
Cain was sure that with an Ice Spirit, his whole entire cultivation will receive a tremendous upgrade.
He slowly got up and nodded at Amber. “Indeed. It’s time. Sitting around here is making my battle senses a bit dull. I almost miss the Zhou Family. It was entertaining to continually dominate that field.”
“With how easy those battles were, one would think it’ll get tiring. Though you are a crazed cultivation nut.” Amber shook her head with a wry smile.
Lightly chuckling, Cain promptly contacted Elder Xi. He only needed a few words to convince her to come over.
Despite Elder Xi’s cold and domineering demeanor, she was actually incredibly patient with Cain and Amber. She was strict, but can still showcase a very caring side.
It somewhat reminded Cain of his unfathomable grandmother.
In the midst of Cain’s thought, a powerful pulse rippled through the space. The duo calmed themselves in the face of the Breath of the Great Dao.
Like a ghost, Elder Xi appeared from thin air, arriving meters before the duo. A small smile curled her lips as she swept her gaze over. Satisfaction slowly rose on her face.
“Ah, your progress is quite smooth. To reach the peak of the Late Stage in mere months is something none of our direct disciples can claim.”
“It’s all because of master teaching.” Cain humbly spoke while he and Amber bowed.
Respect for Elder Xi stemmed from their souls. Not just because of her unfathomable cultivation, but also because her teachings greatly helped them with perceiving Source Laws and other aspects of cultivation.
They became more knowledgeable on specific resources to nurture their Inner World and how to analyze the world around them on a deeper level. With Cain and Amber’s perception abilities, they lapped up everything taught like sponges.
Elder Xi slowly clasped her palms forward. She asked, “So? What is it that you children want? Truthfully, I’m a bit surprised. Both of you are quite reserved for asking for favors.”
Cain calmly said, “We wouldn’t impose or overstepped our boundaries, master. But this time, I’ll have a little thick skin for this favor. Firstly…”
As he finished speaking, Cain opened his palm. The temperature suddenly dropped to freezing levels. Misty frost slowly whirled from Cain’s palm.
Ice Law Lights flourished. Streams of Ice Law essence converged from the center of Cain’s palm, merging into a small icy ball.
Cracks in space formed around the icy ball. Particles of ice froze most of the air around the icy ball. No half-step Divine Ruler would be able to get close without becoming ice stature themselves.
Elder Xi’s eyes slightly widened. She studied the icy ball, making a correct analysis in mere seconds. “Peak Stage Divine Ice Laws! With your Quasi-grandmaster attainment, this Law alone is far higher than any half-step Divine Rulers. It’s not as potent as the lightning you utilize, but nonetheless genius prowess.”
A slight feeling of anticipation tickled Elder Xi’s mind. She knew it was time for her direct disciples to experience an adventure.
