The Chaos Dragon Prince-Chapter 595 Venturing Together
Just as Master Kong was about to disappear, another mental pulse rang through his mind. A mysterious voice that he couldn't identify their gender said, 'Master Kong. A mission for you? Capture the Spiritual Black Charm and Divine Mortal Lee.'
'Oh?' For all of Master Kong's arrogance, he instantly sobered up at this request.
He is a Holy King powerhouse that can rule numerous words. But a Divine Mortal needs to be treated with serious intentions. Master Kong didn't want to foolishly waste his life.
'Since it's from them, then they should know my current combat abilities. That kid had supposedly reached the Divine Star realm after the Starry Earth realm. If I go by cultivation bases...can he actually fight early Holy King masters? Hmm, well whatever. If that little shit can do it, I won't bother putting too much effort in. But if he's inferior, I'll see if I can milk this request for all of its worth.'
Greed sparkled in Master Kong's eyes. In the end, he's still a lofty Holy King master. He certainly isn't lacking any amount of confidence. For a junior like a Divine Mortal, even they would have their weakness.
Master Kong would be willing to try hard. Only if the rewards given are more than worth it.
...
The radiant clouds covering the massive Wintry Worlds all exuded the potent power of Dao Laws. It radiated a certain suppressive atmosphere.
Any weak group cultivators daring to fly so high would get crushed by the sheer suppression. Only those in the Divine Ruler realm and above can safely travel. f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂
The skies of Wintry World bustle with all kinds of cultivators. Some travel with their own bodies. Others on massive spirit ships. And others on divine beast mounts.
Traveling across a world hundred million thousands of miles long was an arduous task for even Holy King masters. These cultivators can't freely travel through the Void Space like Primal Soverigen grandmasters.
This isn't even mentioning the dangers of traveling the world. Anytime bandits, robbers, or violent sect members could ambush anyone. It was a lawless land. No strength would only mean one is just a target to be used by others.
At this time in the skies, one large divine bird tore the air in a mysterious way.
Every flap of its wind should cause great disturbances. Razor ship air was supposed to mince apart space. However, a faint layer of energy covers the bird's entire body.
None of its aura or energy leaked. It was practically invisible to other cultivators' Divine Senses.
On this bird were two peak geniuses of the generation. Both of them can seemingly suppress any law with a mere gaze of theirs.
Naturally, they were Cain and Lan Rui. The duo had just left a few hours ago for the life-vein root. Their mount had come from Elder Xi specifically.
Cain had no problem controlling the divine bird with a slave seal. Those Slave Law essence nearly reminded him of the days he had used his own slaves.
With a thought, Cain slowly guided the divine bird through the skies according to Lan Rui's directions.
Cain had a blissful smile curling his lips. He couldn't help but let loose a sigh of satisfaction. "This kind of flight truly is something. It feels so free..."
"Mn. There is a serene calm about it." Lan Rui slightly smiled.
Though all of her attention stayed focused on studying the life-vein root compass. A drip of her soul energy is already deeply linked to the compass, allowing her to accurately perceive the sensations of the life-vein root. All she needed to do was point out the twist and turns for Cain.
Feeling the wind whip past her hair, on an expedition to save her master's cultivation, Lan Rui couldn't deny a strange feeling swelling within her. It was very intriguing. She rarely would feel much other than a calm indifference. But this journey with Cain alone made ripples in her mind.
Lan Rui even did something she would rarely do. She took the time to initiate a conversation with Cain. "Martial brother, is this how it feels like? I can tell you must've gone on numerous adventures before coming to our Holy Land."
Cain nodded with a small smile. "Indeed. I have been to numerous places already. I even explored the lower realms. There are always new things to see in our ever-expanding universe."
"I see..." A curious expression crossed on Lan Rui's face. "I never really had a considerable interest in exploring out. But I suppose this could be counted as a form of training. It does wonder for one's state of mind."
"It gets better depending on where we end up at. We are basically studying everything around us to control the dao. Just walking out really is a great form of mental cultivation."
Cain's mood became much more relaxed the more he talked. The same could be said for Lan Rui. They would certainly train and cultivate on their own. And there was always that inexplicable link between cultivators that bonded their presence.
But exploring together provided a new flavor to their relationship. Their minds communed together while in a more fresh experience in the God Galaxy.
Cain also didn't have anything to worry about as he got closer to Lan Rui, or any other woman for that matter. The subtle approval from Amber made everything seamless.
The duo had traveled for some time now. Several hours have already passed.
And on the divine bird, the duo crossed over thousands of miles. Beast mount types aren't very powerful at all. Their Divine Laws are specifically weak in power potency.
But, what they lack in attacking power, it more than made up for it in tearing through the laws of space. The pure source energy from the bird's Divine Laws heavily manipulated the properties of space.
Even Holy Kings' top speeds would be inferior to top-tier beast mounts.
Deep into their trip, Cain suddenly asked, "Say, we didn't go into it that much before, but do you have any idea of famous Holy King masters I should watch out for? I'm assuming experts at their level left quite a profound mark in the area."
Lan Rui nodded. "As you know, Divine Rulers are just barely counted as low grades among the high class. They certainly command more respect, but unless they're Divine Decree Lords, they would only be minor lords of small domains. Talented Holy King masters are truly terrifying. We're speaking of talents among already great talents. Not a single one of them can be underestimated. Recalling off the top of my head, there is...one particularly cruel master."
Even Lan Rui's tone turned a bit grave. "She's known as an enchanting yet demonic menace among Holy Kings. Her name is Master Hua. Her speed is simply just too fast. It was said she can even reach up to speed the fraction of light! Master Hua may only be an early Holy King, but even late stage Holy Kings would be hard-pressed to catch up to her. Worse of all, she's a completely secluded cultivator. She has no allegiance to anyone but herself. Hence, she has a chilling reputation for killing and looting any Holy King master she can confidently kill. She also has little care about offending whatever background that Holy King master comes from."
"I see..." Cain seriously regarded a talented Holy King master far more than a Divine Decree Lord.
His fight with Elder Hao laid it out clearly. There was still a distinct difference between him and the Holy King realm.
The suppression force of higher-tier laws was just too much. It'll be impossible to kill any talented Holy King master in one move. He couldn't afford to be as domineering as before.
Lan Rui continues to speak after a brief moment of pause. "Another one I can recall is Master Kong. He's a talented Holy King who unfortunately has the principles equal to a bandit. He and his crew had destroyed and pillage quite a number of mid-grade Holy Lands. His Fire Laws are extremely ferocious. Some note that it can melt any energy attack thrown at him."
These demonic acts would truly put off a number of divine cultivators. Most really do have bottom lines and values taught to them. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m
But Cain truly wasn't put off by the vicious acts at all. These things were only natural in their world. His mind began to see actions more of things that exist in a void.
What Cain felt genuine curiosity about was seeing if he can match the depths of talented Holy King masters.
'Speaking off-' Cain's eyes slightly flickered. "Say, if talented Holy Kings are so powerful already, then what about Divine Decree Lord Holy Kings?"
"Absolute monsters." Lan Rui's reply was immediate. "At the very least, that what's the legends say. Every single one of them are invincible in the same minor boundary. And the very top-tier peak ones were reported to easily suppress those with a higher minor boundary. They also cultivate strange arts that give them a great edge in battle. Martial brother is heaven-defying, but...even I don't think we should meet those lords in battle."
