The Chaos Dragon Prince

Cain's confidence continue to spill as he said, "You know what? This information perfectly fits with our plan. Nothing will change, anyway. We'll simply continue to cultivate until Cloudsea's entrance exam start and dominate for perfect results. I'm more than certain this will please that Wen Dao."

"Mnn...this is quite amusing, isn't it?" Amber suddenly giggled. "We're talking about facing eventually Divine Rulers like its nothing. The same kind of people who are on somewhat equal levels as your parents, the Dragon Emperor, and your ancestor. I bet it won't even be long until you can stand toe to toe with them."

Cain faintly smiled. "Huh, I suppose so. Sometimes, even I feel like too much of a cheat. But no matter what, our only option is to keep moving forward."

The time he spent in this world could only count up to a year or two at best.

In this amount of time, a heavenly-tier genius would only be able to reach the Sage Core realm at best. While even a King Tier genius would only reach the peak of the Mortal realm. And that's only considering if those geniuses have a high-realm level Holy Land background and powerful supporting Elders.

With the appropriate resources and high realm cultivation masters, it would be very easy for anyone, no matter their Martial Talent, cultivation to rapidly increase.

Cain and Amber had also received tremendous help from massive resources such as Heavenly Venerate Nightmare Lord, Huang Dragon Imperial Family's treasury, and Dao Core Traces.

But in the end, they could only massively strengthen their cultivation because of their immense Martial talent, including their high Spiritual Sea perception abilities, powerful bloodlines for quick external energy conversion, and extreme Inner World foundations that can fuse with more powerful energies.

It wasn't an exaggeration to put the duo on the same level or perhaps, even above Heavenly Great World Divine Mortal geniuses!

'Their cultivation is only at Divine Origin, but they're already planning to face Divine Ruler? How terrifying...' When Peng Fu heard his masters so causally speak about Divine Decree Lords, he couldn't suppress a shudder.

He was far more aware of the hundreds of years even extreme geniuses use just to reach the Divine Star realm. If his master could do it in such a short amount of time, it perhaps will be the most unprecedented event in the Divine Boundless Heaven's history!

At this time, Cain glanced back over to Peng Fu. His mind suddenly came upon an idea.

After a brief interaction, the two exchanged contact rings and Cain told him, "With my unique Law Marks, Wen Shao won't be able to sense you're under control. But still, it will be best to keep over cover secret. I'm sure you can find a viable excuse for your loss. After all, we are highly valuable to the Zhou Family and apparently, the Cloudsea Holy Lands, right?"

"Mn. Master and Mistress have no need to worry. Call upon me whenever you need me." Peng Fu dutifully nodded. His injuries at this point were healed enough that he could at least fly.

But before Peng Fu took off, he asked one last question as a thought emerged within his mind. "Ah, one more thing, master. Are you truly planning on taking Cloudsea's entrance exams?"

Cain puzzledly furrowed his brows. "Yes. Why? Is Wen Shao planning for even that as well?"

"Well, it's not so much what Wen Shao is planning, but rather on what Wen Dao wants to see from master. I'm sure he will allow you to directly skip over most of the process or just invite you straight from the Zhou Family. In exchange for this, I'm afraid he might pit you up against talented Inner-ranking disciples to see where you lie against superior talented students."

As Cain and Amber listened, they lightly scoffed at the end of Peng Fu's explanations.

Cain shrugged without any worry, saying, "I would be more suspicious if we didn't have to do anything for this Wen Dao. The greatest, and really, only value, is absolute strength, after all. Don't worry, any of these so-called superior talented geniuses are simply none-threats."

His bold words and confidence actually inspired hope within Peng Fu. Even if he wasn't enslaved, he would still believe that only Cain had the qualification to shamelessly boast like this.

Eagerly nodding, Peng Fu saluted at Cain, saying, "Then I wish master and mistress the best of luck. Like I said before, call upon me for anything needed."

Without wasting a moment longer, he turned around and took off into the distant horizon, becoming a streak of light within a few seconds.

Even without his full strength, the power a Divine Star can summon would still be immense.

Left alone, the duo traded a glance. Amber curiously tilted her head while putting a finger to her chin. "So...what now? It seems like this trap was more than just to get us, but for that Zhou Ling to also appease Wen Shao. That Dao Core Fragment cave seems to be the truth. Still, want to check it out?"

"Might as well at this point. If this group was so confident in going, obviously we can brave any potential danger inside." When Cain decided, Amber was already in silent agreement.

But before continuing on, Cain quickly looted everyone else corpses.

The resources from a Divine Star and several Extreme Great Divine Sea warriors weren't an immense sum to the current Cain and Amber. But it was at least enough for them to sustain their Inner World essence marks for quite some time.

When the loot was sorted out, the duo smoothly continue their trek towards the Fragmented Dao Core cave.

Cain could now fearlessly use Chaotic Teleportation without the looming threat of being followed.

....

The duo made great time. With several long distances teleportation flashes, they crossed the remaining hundred miles distance in only a few short hours.

Along the way, they detected the presence of some powerful Dao Vicious beasts. Most of which were in the Great Divine Sea realm, but there were some legitimate Divine Star monsters.

A very select few Divine Star Dao beasts Cain felt confident in killing. Others, he knew they would get crushed in a futile struggle.

Thankfully, through the power of Chaos energy, the duo traveled as if they were ghosts.

By the end of their destination, the duo smoothly appeared right in front of a seemingly ordinary cave. Their brows quirked as they quickly spread their Divine Sense through the cave.

Moments passed, but neither Cain nor Amber's expression eased up.

Amber had even started to tap her finger in slight annoyance. "Now don't tell me we were all tricked? I can't detect any form of energy here. And this cave isn't that massive compared to other caves."

Still staying silent, Cain decided to cast out his Chaos-fused senses.

The Chaos Sense moved at a quicker rate than his Divine Sense. It covered nearly the interior of the cave within only seconds, reaching over 200 miles.

With his Chaos Sense, Cain could now detect a distinct trail of energy buried deep within the cave.

This trail of energy was an oddity. Streams of other various sensations seemed to hide the trail of energy. No average Divine Star expert would be able to properly detect it, coming out as a haze of energy for them.

Only a highly advanced World Spirit Masters would be able to barely perceive the principles that covered the trail of energy.

Because Cain is highly acquainted with Spirit energy Laws, his Chaos sense could just barely perceive the identical Law sensations.

It seemed as if the trail of energy stayed hidden behind multiple Spirit energy formations!

These Spirit energy formations clearly carried the distinct sensations of Spirit Laws and even a small portion of some Martial Dao Laws.

Given how Amber couldn't properly react to the Spirit energy Law sensations, the level a World Spirit Master must be at for this is an extremely high level.

Cain fathoms that World Spirit Master would need to be at least at Perfection red-class or perhaps even Gold-class level.

His Chaos Sense could already detect Heavenly Venerate essence despite not having the appropriate level of Spiritual Sea perception abilities. Naturally, his Chaos Sense could also detect extremely powerful Spirit Laws beyond his Spiritual Sea perception ability.

As Cain's eyes slowly opened open, he crossed his arms in deep contemplation.

He told Amber, "There's no mistake. The Dao Core Fragments are indeed here. However, some Spirit Formations, a very high level, above even your red-class level, are hiding it. It either appears that Zhou Ling's scouts must also include several powerful World Spirit Masters. Or he, by chance, came upon some mysterious expert going into the cave and sent his scouts to check it out at great risks. Or perhaps he had some other methods. Whatever it is, this Zhou Ling left the whole story for all of us."

"Hoh? That's quite devious." Amber giggled without worry. "But of course, it doesn't matter to us. Although...the fact that some did set up Spirit Formations here is a bit worrying. Do you still want to continue?"

Cain confidently nodded. "Naturally, we should. When we get inside, my Chaotic Concealment can shield us if that expert does come back here. And if that expert tries to come inside, I'll teleport us thousands of miles away in an instant. The risks are relatively low, while the rewards are greatly high."

Holding Cain's hand, Amber waved her hand forward, prompting, "Then lead the way, dear."

A spark of green flashed within Cain's pupils. His Chaos sense locked right where they needed to be.
