Chapter 587: Time For Evaluation
Chapter 587: Time For Evaluation
“Understood, master.” Cain and Amber seriously nodded.
Confidence wouldn’t matter at all if they become corpses in the ground. Even Cain was prepared to showcase Chaotic Teleportation if it meant saving Amber’s or his life.
Still, risks and potential dangers were impossible to dissuade Cain’s mind. His eagerness ran sky-high as he asked, “Since you said it, master, when can I undergo an evaluation to leave for a journey?”
This, of course, wasn’t any ordinary evaluation. A Divine Star against a Holy King. Many would completely disdain the person for even making such an outrageous statement.
Even past ancient figures would heavily doubt the possibility of a great genius challenging a Holy King master.
But Elder Xi knew far better than to underestimate Cain. She paused for several moments before saying, “We will evaluate now. No point in waiting any longer. But due note that only the other Supreme Elders will know about this duel. Your traction is good. But too much of it can cause a disaster for you. Also, there is a chance the ancestor will be observing the duel.”
“The ancestor?!” Cain and Amber completely froze. Their eyes open wide to an extreme. Not even they can casually disregard this matter.
After all, this was a Heavenly Venerate legendary existence! The duo already has a deep impression of this unfathomable realm. Their first meeting with such an existence consisted of Heavenly Venerate Nightmare’s remanent soul.
That terrifying ancient existence nearly succeeded in taking over Cain’s body and coming back into the era. It was only through the miracles of the Chaotic Emerald that could Cain reverse the situation.
The only other Heavenly Venerate interaction they had was with the soul master Heavenly Venerate.
The God Galaxy currently lacks major soul cultivation arts. Near everyone’s attainment is far too poor. Especially in the current era. Even previous eras struggled with soul arts.
But none of that had applied to Heavenly Venerate soul. His Divine Soul art is equal to top-grade Divine Cultivation manuals.
And the ritual formation he had directly increased Cain’s and Amber’s soul cultivation until they had an Inner Soul World!
This was the means of a Heavenly Venerate existence. Beings who are completely out of the logic of rules and laws.
Hence, Cain and Amber were genuinely excited to hear a Heavenly Venerate was coming out of seclusion.
Though, a moment later, a slight feeling of helplessness crawled through Amber. Her smile turned wry. “Well, only you should get excited about this. I’m nowhere near the level to meet a Heavenly Venerate in person.”
“Hm?” Cain suddenly creased his brows. It was a thought he didn’t like to think about. But it is indeed true that Amber’s Martial talent is far inferior to his.
Truthfully, it was amazing enough she could become a direct disciple of an absolute perfection Primal Soveirgen grandmaster. Many in her position would only have an ordinary grandmaster at best.
Still, this didn’t mean Cain wouldn’t try for Amber. He looked Elder Xi straight in the eyes, unblinkingly, not caring the slightest about the Breath of the Great Dao as he asked, “Master, is there any way for Amber to meet with the ancestor as well? She is a gold-class World Spirit Master as well.”
“You asked, as I expected it.” Elder Xi gently sighed. She internally praised Cain’s courage. But the reality was often blunt.
“It’s not as if I don’t want both of you meet to the ancestor. But, everything will be up to the will of the ancestor. If she doesn’t want to meet someone, there’s nothing anyone can say. That’s why you must treasure this opportunity if the ancestor does indeed, in fact, want to see you, Lee.”
Cain held his tongue over what he truly wanted to say. Arguing any further would be pointless. The best he could hope for is recreating the memories he had if he meets with the ancestor.
Thus, he only nodded and said, “Understood, master.”
“Good. Alright, let’s get going now. Xun, you can go back home now. We’ll be going to an area only reserved for special occasions.”
Once Elder Xi finished explaining, Amber calmly nodded. Her gaze matched with Cain’s for a brief moment.
A beautiful smile soon curled her cherry-red lips. “Try not to go overboard. The shock could be life-threatening.”
“I make no promises.” Cain smiled right back.
With their last parting words, Amber took off into the skies and out of the small garden world.<novelnext> pan(da-n0vel.c)om</novelnext>
Elder Xi had then causally waved her hand. Black lights engulfed her and Cain as the Void Space was broken open. She flew into the open Void Space, instantly traveling a great distance.
The short travel only lasted for a few moments.
Opening his eyes, Cain’s vision was greeted by a considerably wide stone platform.
Unique runic inscriptions were engraved all across the stone platform. Each of these runes rippled with the extreme power of Supreme Divine Laws.
The pressure would be suffocating to anyone with weaker cultivation. Their minds wouldn’t be able to withstand the sensations of the Law runes. While the natural pressure would shred at their protective divine auras.
This was several degrees higher than the other battle stage within Cloudsea.
Cain’s mind made instant guesses. Furrowing his brows, he soon asked, “Master, is this a place specifically for Holy King master to duel in? Meaning, even the Elder master takes it the front stage?”
Elder Xi lightly smiled. “No matter how tight a sect is, no matter how powerful a sect is, how could anything ever be perfectly peaceful? Even among us grandmasters, there are clear dislikes and likes between each other. But if we were to settle our differences, the resulting shockwaves are far too disastrous. Even a Heavenly Venerate can’t completely contain the damage of numerous grandmasters’ fights. We need to settle our differences by other means. As for Holy Kings masters, every one of these elders is encouraged to duel here to settle differences. The shockwaves of their battles are stopped by reinforcements from us and our ancestor. The gulf between Divine Ruler and Holy King is immeasurably massive. A single wisp of their Law power can flatten continents with utter ease.”
A spark of intrigue flashed through Cain. He knew that Elder Xi wasn’t merely talking about mortal size continents.
No, these were martial cultivator continents. Where even in the lower realm, one continent can extend out tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of miles!
Their sizes are equal to small planets. Some were even bigger than the average planet.
Holy King masters being able to flatten such areas means their destructive force can genuinely crush mortal planets into complete dust! eevl.
The power to destroy a planet. Cain never would have guessed he would reach this realm of power so quickly.
Ideas spring into his mind as he asked, “From what I studied about the Holy King realm, these masters have their Law power and Inner World tremendously enhanced by Holy Qi, right? And Holy Qi is the absolute perfection form of Heaven and Earth Divine energy, right?”
“You can say it’s that. But if we want to get technical, Holy Qi is the last step before attaining the essence of the True Great Dao. Both Supreme Divine Laws and Holy Qi are the last foundation to set up if one wants to reach the Primal Sovereign realm. But yes, below the essence of the True Great Dao, Holy Qi and Supreme Divine Laws are the peaks.” Elder Xi calmly explained.
“I see…” Cain’s eyes flickered as he listened. He looked around with a slightly puzzled expression. “Master? Where is my opponent?”
“Right here.” Elder Xi nudged her head up to the skies.
Cain narrowed his gaze. His Divine Sense instantly perceived a powerful source of Divine Laws tearing through the sky.
A streak of light tore through the clouds. Vibrations of intense Supreme Divine Laws rippled from the light streak. Black line cracks slowly tear through the air wherever the light flew.
The forces of the universe had trouble withholding the oppressive might of this light.
The light streak flew at celestial speed. It touched down on the stone platform within seconds. No noise was made as a frightening, middle-aged man appeared.
His presence would be utterly suffocating. He didn’t have any need to retain his Holy Aura. This was the power that could truly split the seas into two and smash apart every cloud in the skies.
His gaze alone could pierce through the souls of any Divine Rulers. Even a half-step Holy King would bow down to a master of this stature.
A Holy King master was presented before Cain and Elder Xi. Even the core disciples would feel blessed to be granted an opportunity to meet.
This great elder didn’t put on any airs against Cain. He politely cupped his fists, saying, “Greetings young master. I am Elder Hao, your duel for today.”
“Good day, Elder Hao.” Cain cupped his fists right back.
They were two masters treating each other on the same level.
