The Chaos Dragon Prince-Chapter 547 Ancient Withered Ice World
As Cain strengthen his determination, he suddenly heard Amber's joyful voice. "I can't tell at all what happened to you. But I know your Chaos energy reached a new realm, right? This is excellence!"
Her smile was bright as she walked over. All in her mind was the fact that Cain's greater strength will only ensure their future success. Plus, she genuinely loved it when witnessing Cain achieve higher goals.
Cain calmly looked over at Amber. His thoughts were sorted out as he said, "Indeed. I've reached the border of 4th layer Chaos energy. My prowess will grow even more now. And naturally, it's time for us to go out for some experience. I can't sit right in peace. I can just feel that at any time, something horrible will come to us."
"And you want us to be extra-prepared." Amber quietly sighed. "I understand. For me, I quite enjoy our quiet, slow days. But, it's impossible to do this forever, you're right. So? Do you think we're ready for that ice world? Master says everything we need is nearly set up. Just a few more days of waiting."
Cain nodded. He was brimming with confidence while saying, "Indeed, it's time. Our weapon comprehension greatly increased after these months, along with our art. Our cultivation bases are still the same, but our prowess took tremendous leaps forwards. After this trip, we'll no longer hide up anymore."
...
A few more days passed.
Cain's group's preparation for the Ancient Wither Ice World was done. In the first place, with Primal Soverigen grandmasters routing the trip, preparations was done in instant.
All the relevant information was gathered and the teleportation array was set up. As for the disciples going, once everyone was done with last-minute preparation, they were all ready to go.
At this time, inside Elder Xi's garden world, Cain, Amber, Yulong, Lin Zui, and Lan Rui had gathered at one spot. Underneath their feat was a massive teleportation array expanding a radius of several meters.
Intricate complex Dao Runes were carved in every inch of the array circle. 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂
The principles exuding out were at a standard Cain and Amber could just faintly detect. Yulong and the others couldn't detect anything from the teleportation array at all.
As their trip was near, a range of emotions spread across everyone's faces.
Lin Zui had slight concerns but kept to himself. Lan Rui stayed completely calm, her eyes glinting with terrifyingly cold traces of ice.
Amber had an indifferent expression as if there was no danger that will come to them.
Yulong was the only one visibly eager and filled with anticipation.
While Cain kept his eyes glued on the map in his hands that spewed out an energy projection.
The energy projection showcased a beautiful world covered in snow and frosty ice. Areas were split off into sections, detailing the dangers they would be sure to encounter.
Yulong's eyes sparkled while staring at the map. She cheerfully said, "I'm still surprised at how detailed this map is and how much danger this world has. Just the 1st layer has so much trouble for us. This is going to be exciting!"
"Really so similar...even with the threat of death, not a single bit of hesitation." Amber casually commented.
In response, Yulong eagerly nodded. "Of course! Thrills are beneficial for all cultivators! Without thrills, our cultivation will just wither away."
"Mn. Before my direct disciples' days, I had to venture plenty of times to reach my current level." Lan Rui decided to add in.
With a calm bearing and a confident tone, Cain said, "As long as we stick together, we should get by relatively unscathed. I enjoyed the thrill, but I also don't want us to foolishly lose our lives."
"Right. Right. So? It's still the same route as before?" Yulong asked.
Looking over the map one more time, Cain put it into his spatial ring, already having the energy projection imprinted into his Spiritual Sea.
He then said, "Indeed. There's should be no altercation. But we still need to be prepared for the unexpected. If there isn't anything else, we should be ready to go, master."
In that moment, soundless without any ripples in space, Elder Xi appeared at the edges of the teleportation array.
She only uttered one phrase to the youths. "Remember, do not be too cautious. But also do not be overly risky."
After she spoke, her foot lightly tapped the teleportation array.
Beautiful red lights illuminated the teleportation array. Dao essence energy engulfed the youths without any resistance.
Before Elder Xi's eyes, the direct disciples vanished into thin air.
....
At this time, the sensations of space twist and pulled all around the direct disciples. They traveled through numerous realms and worlds in an instant.
The next moment, the direct disciples suddenly felt a tremendous decrease in temperature.
The absolute freezing cold penetrates deep into their bones! Each of them couldn't repress a cold shiver.
On instinct, the direct disciples gathered just a small portion of Inner World energy to simply resist the cold. Heat soon returned to their bodies.
Feeling calmer, the direct disciples slowly opened their eyes. Their vision was soon met with a magnificent, frozen wonderland.
Everyone's eyesight could cover up to a range of a few miles if they focused.
For as long as the direct disciples could see, everything was just enormous snowy and frosty ice mountain peaks. There wasn't a single region that wasn't covered in snow or ice.
The pure snow and shimmering ice created a magical scenery, even for the heights Cain's group stand at.
Small snowflakes continually pelted the whole word, adding to its visually stunning properties.
Yulong quietly sighed, her breathing completely cold and slightly misty. "So cold! Even with my Inner World, I can still feel the cold. I didn't think an ancient world would be this magical."
Before anyone else said anything, Cain narrowed his sights on a specific path and began walking. He said without looking back, "We can slowly walk to gain our bearing and talk. Let's not waste too much time."
He and Amber stayed at the front of the pack as they walked. It was automatic as if they were natural-born leaders. f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶
By the duo's demonstrations months ago, it was clear even then that they both far surpassed anyone of the direct disciples.
Months later, just how far did their already terrifying strength grow?
Neither Lin Zui, Lan Rui, nor Yulong would dare to question them in leadership. After all, the main aspect of adventures would be combat prowess.
No matter how many strategies one has played out, it will fall in the face of absolute strength. Hence, everyone else obediently followed behind
Cain and Amber's lead.
As they walked, Lan Rui picked up the previous conversation. "I, as well, have never been to an Ancient World. But from what master taught and several other books, these places are highly similar to mystic realms. Great resources littered every inch of this place. Some of which can tempt cultivation masters like our Supreme Elders."
"Is that so?" Amber unexpectedly perked up. Her foots calmly trudged through the luminous white snow without worry as she asked, "I wasn't able to find out from master since she simply didn't say anything about it. Nor I could find much from the books I read. But I've been wondering, are Ancient Worlds also made from high cultivation masters? This explains why mystic realms have so much great resources since they're left behind by the original masters."
"Ah, this is where their differences began. Some Ancient Worlds were indeed created by ancient, unfathomable experts. While others were naturally created from the Heaven and Earth after an exceedingly long time. These types of environments are far more dangerous compared to self-created worlds. But at the same time, the resources will be at a higher standard since they have hundreds of thousands of years to ferment." Lan Rui explained.
As the girls engaged in discussions, none of them dared to be even just slightly negligent. Their Divine Senses were on full alert.
The first layer Cain's group was currently in ranged over several hundred thousand miles wide.
On the surface, it would be hard to tell. Nothing but endless snow and icy frost would confuse the senses.
But with a map from Primal Soverigen grandmasters, Cain could safely lead his group through the trudge.
Hundreds of thousands of miles may seem like a lot if one was still a mortal cultivator. But to even a Divine Origin cultivator, thousands of miles can be crossed in only a few minutes. Their Inner World energy can already weaken space laws by a slight bit. Much less Divine Rulers with Supreme Divine Laws that utilize the True Great Dao.
However, the exploration wasn't about going as fast as possible. But for Cain to find his appropriate ice beast spirit.
Time quickly flew by. For a while now, nothing jumped out at Cain's group. They all were beginning to believe their luck was pretty high for today.
That is, until several Divine Ruler's Auras suddenly disrupted their Divine Senses!
No words were needed. Cain, Amber, Yulong, Lan Rui, and Lin Zui stopped on a dime.
A flash of blue light radiated from a charm on Yulong's wrist. The blue light converged into a faint aura that perfectly shrouded her body.
At the same time, the others welcomed their sudden ambushers.
Surrounding them from every corner were several humanoid creatures.
These creatures were completely blue with specks of ice shining at several parts of their body. No pupils could be seen from their piercingly blue eyes. Their vacant stares were almost unnerving. It was as if none of them had any consciousness, only knowing how to kill. Such terrifying killing intent could kill peak-stage Divine Star experts from a far distance.
However, despite how intimidating they appeared, no one in Cain's group was nervous. Every ice creature radiated pure power equal to an Early Divine Ruler, but only the most ordinary ones.
Lin Zui creased his brows. "These creatures...they should be some advanced form of Demonic Dao Spirit. Their entire body has the Great Dao fused into them, making it harder to detect them unless your cultivation is high enough."
"Mn. Since they decided to appear, let's not waste time." Cain sounded confident, as ever.
But the moment he finished talking, the Ice Spirits suddenly stirred.
Icy mist frantically whirled out of Ice Spirits' bodies. The Ice mist continually spewed essence energy that shrouded the area for miles. Ice Law energy principles overwhelmed the entire world.
Each icy mist flowing from the Ice Spirits' bodies converged into a singular form!
Cracks in space shatter. Frozen patches of air instantly form. The icy mist infused together formed an enormous ice hurricane hundreds of feet long!
Combined together, the power of the ice hurricane dramatically increased. Every ice energy principle neared close to the peak of Early Stage Divine Ruler!
This overwhelming momentum imposingly swirled around Cain, Amber, Yulong, Lan Rui, and Lin Zui.
