The Chaos Dragon Prince

"Though the objective remains on him, we can't ignore the others. Just how many great worlds will come to the gathering?" Soaring Sword suddenly asked.

"All the heavy hitters. Besides my own great world, crimson thunder, divine faith, monster emperor, and the dark dragons will all come. Everything shaping up to be quite an interesting event." Nether King stated.

Many geniuses will come, but only a few will be truly successful. Even the majestic Heavenly Venerates couldn't properly predict how this Martial Heavenly Gathering will go down.

Though, they all were determined to prepare the damndest for all possibilities.

...

The days went by quickly for the entire God Galaxy. To low realms, middle realms, high realms, Central Starfield and Great Worlds, all were making rapid preparations for the Martial Heavenly Gathering.

The event was on such short notice that many had to scramble for their best forces of the younger generation.

The peak talents are indeed coming to this event. But it didn't mean other geniuses wouldn't come. It was a prime opportunity for all, even if one comes just for the experience.

There really wasn't any last-minute cultivation geniuses could do at this moment.

Even Cain could only refine his foundation to perfection. He trained with the Divine Astral Art for a small amount of time. But nothing substantial to actually use in combat.

Cain didn't overtly worry about this. The time for that will come soon. He poured all of his focus into winning the Martial Heavenly Gathering.

In his calm training, Cain did wonder if the Dao Spring Peach realm was always related to the gathering. Or if this event was just special.

Just a single Dao Spring Peach was an invaluable resource throughout the God Galaxy. Cain didn't think it can just be an annual event.

The information Azure Thunder gave him didn't directly answer this question.

When Cain asked Azure Thunder, she didn't spare her words.

Azure Thunder had directly told him in a brief conversation, "Your deduction is right. Many undercurrents are swirling in the background. The great worlds are pushing to promote the younger generation. Thus, the Dao Spring Peach realm is both used to weed out the true, extreme talents and provide immense opportunities for them. The direct prime descendants of peak Heavenly Venerates from the Quasi and full great worlds are exempt from this qualifying round. But they can participate if they so please." 𝐛𝗲𝗱𝐧𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦

Cain was honestly a bit put off by this answer. Several times were these Heavenly Venerates mentioning something foreboding for the future. But stressing over grand matters wouldn't get him anywhere.

He simply had to focus on his current goal.

Days soothed by and before he and Zexi knew it, the time has finally come.

...

Numerous realms through the Central Starfield. It was near the very peak of the massive galaxy.

There was a massive planet. A world that seemingly extended on for millions of miles!

Such a size was beyond all comprehension. And it was here that the Dao lights were the most intense.

At this time, within the central region of this massive planet. Making past numerous cities and all kinds of other regions, one would be greeted by a beautiful flower plateau.

Each rose, flower, tree or any other plant there exuded glimmering Dao runes.

The sky gleamed with multi-color Dao lights, creating a far stronger environment than the already amplified Central Starfield.

A monumental meeting was nearly starting on this flower plateau. A huge swarm of divine cultivators and terrifying grandmasters had shown up.

These were Holy Lands and families that came from all over the God Galaxy. Some are far more powerful than others. And a select few that stood supremely above all other sects.

This was the starting ground for the Martial Heavenly Gathering!

The excitement was palatable. The atmosphere made the young geniuses' blood boil over.

It was at this time, a bit secluded from everyone else, space had torn open over a random flower peak.

Three figures had stepped out. One of them exuding an immortal presence. Having Dao power standing above the universe.

While the other two were of the younger generations. One of them is a direct disciple tier of talent.

While the other was simply unfathomable. His mysterious presence could not be detected by ordinary Holy King masters.

Of course, these three were Azure Thunder, Cain, and Zexi.

Upon arrival, Zexi and Cain shot their gazes throughout the crowd. Faint apprehension swirled on Zexi's face. She quietly muttered to herself, "So-so many people are here...this has to be far over hundreds of thousands!"

Indeed, the size of the flower plateau could just fit that many. Many sect groups had shown up. But this place wasn't jampacked in the slightest.

Cain calmly took in the overwhelming numbers of geniuses. His Chaos Soul Sense picked out who was special and who was more than average.

"Such a big lineup means a real interesting mix of powers. I can tell those who come from the high realms and this Starfield is no slouch."

"Haah~" Zexi sighed. "Of course, you're not nervous at all. I bet you already have your eyes sight on some targets, huh?"

Cain casually smiled. "These guys are only a bit interesting. The real show has yet to come."

As they talked, nobody paid attention to the duo. All because Azure Thunder concealed their presence so as to not deal with any unnecessary noise.

All three of them weren't the ones to overly show off just because.

Cain was simply waiting for the Great World's talents to come. But out of his expectations, his bloodline began to intensely stir!

'Wha?' He jolted as if lightning had struck through his soul. His Divine Sense locked onto a specific flower peak that had one unfathomable Heavenly Venerate and a masked maiden.

It was impossible to tell this maiden's appearance. But Cain instantly knew who this was. His soul would always yearn for her presence, treating it as a comforting warmth.

"Senior Thunder, can you take me to them? There's someone I need to see." Cain quickly told Azure ThundeR while pointing to the masked maiden.

Azure Thunder curled her brows but didn't question it. "Alright."

She waved her hand, engulfing the duo, and took an immortal step through space. They reappeared right next to the masked maiden's group.

"Huh?" The Heavenly Venerate was fiercely jolted. He tensed for a single moment, but quickly identify who had appeared.

Immense respect flashed in his eyes. He instantly cusped his fist, saying, "Ah, it's Venerate Azure Thunder. It's an honor to speak with you."

They may be in the same realm. But between him and Azure Thunder, the difference was larger than night and day!

An existence like Azure Thunder truly did need to be treated as an honor among Heavenly Venerates. "Mn. Well met, Venerate Deep Sword. I have actually come here for..."

Azure Thunder spoke, but the masked maiden had suddenly shouted in pure joy.

"Brother!"

Kali felt as if she was on cloud nine! She practically teleported into Cain's arms, tightly clutching her arms around his neck.

"It's so good to see you again...so good..." She murmurs in great relief and pure joy.

Cain also couldn't keep a serene smile from blossoming on his lips. He gently caressed Kali's lush hair, saying, "We're back and not going to be separated this time."

"This..." Venerate Deep Sword was taken aback. Looking between Cain and Kali, the connections began to instantly form.

And it came to its head when Kali took off her mask, revealing that beautiful face of hers. That face that could swoon souls with just that blissful smile curling her lips.
