The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 185 - Master Pristine

The ghost's conversations lasted for only a few moments. 

But within that very short time frame, Cain did spot a different kind of light glinting these ghosts' bright eyes.

Seeing this, he became thankful his slight gamble worked out. Truthfully, he could teleport out of here at any time and reach the final rewarding room. But, whoever this Master Pristine is instantly caught his interest.

Just from sensing this quality of Divine Energy did Cain feel a faint breakthrough sensation approaching. 

This Divine Energy didn't come from Heaven and Earth's Origin Energy.

The separate dimension blocked all contact with the main World. So this could only mean that this Master Pristine created all of this from his own Martial Perception!

To have such high attainment in Martial Perception evidently means this Master Pristine wasn't just a great genius in the Lower Realm. 

Perhaps he even became a great genius in the Divine Plane. Or he even went far beyond and reached the God Galaxies! 

Another legendary existence somehow was birthed on this high-ranking Mortal Planet. How could Cain not be interested in this?

All of this is why Cain depended on these ghosts to recognize his Chaos space tearing and his own Aura bearing a resemblance to the God Galaxies. 

He quickly assumed each of these ghosts were disciples of this Master Pristine, and they had most likely befallen some kind of accident. 

Their cultivation was high, most likely beyond anyone on this Mortal Planet. Yet, they've fallen into such a position. The secrets these ghosts hold could be immense and highly beneficial to them.

And to peer into these secrets, Cain was riding off the faint intimidation of his God Galaxy origins and mysterious power to easily tear space. 

Adding on to this was his unwavering confidence.

A good show of bravery is far more likely to make waves in the opposing party than a frightened mentality. 

Of course, if Cain wanted to trick his foes into lowering their guard, then showing fear would be far better.

But in this situation, the scales were tipped too far in the ghosts' scales. Any act of fear from him will only stimulate these ghosts to become even more aggressive.

Moreover, it wasn't like Cain was entirely faking his confidence. He for sure couldn't say that he didn't feel his tension considerably rise under this suppression. 

However, this wasn't Cain's first time in a life-or-death scenario.

The time with the black robe man will never be forgotten. That experience taught Cain numerous things. One of which is staying calm to correctly plan out his next moves while also effectively ticking up his enemy's mind.

And true to his thoughts, the ghostly figures slightly receded their Killing Intent. 

The leader ghost still kept his intent gaze as he said, "We don't know if your origins, but even if you were from here, it would be hard for you to know. Master Pristine is one of the original progenitors that paved the Martial Road for this desolate Planet's lifeforms. His Martial Perception is at a true godly level. As for this place, this is the true Sacred Ground Master Prsitine left behind for the true talent of this Mortal Planet. Ordinarily, you were supposed to undergo numerous trials until you gained blessings from all of us. But…I'm sure you can see the problem now."

As the trio listened in, Cain, Kali, and Amber's eyes glazed over in genuine, intrigued excitement. 

So this is one of the originals that gave birth to this Planet!  A legendary expert that far surpassed any other ancient powerhouse! 

He's what can be called a genuine Martial expert. His findings and discoveries on Martial Perception were all forcefully forged with very little to help.

Moreover, his age is simply unimaginable. Perhaps he could be thousands, tens of thousands, or even a hundred thousand years old! 

No matter his age, this was simply an unfathomable existence.

At this moment, Cain, Kali, and Amber felt a real surge of respect rise within them. 

Kali may be arrogant, Amber may lack any care in cultivation, and Cain may have different ideologies, but none of them could be indifferent or disrespect true ancient legends like this.

Powerhouses like Master Pristine are one of the reasons they could stand tall against Heaven and Earth and eventually grasps it under their palms. 

Each of them genuinely respected the original progenitors from the depth of their hearts.

The fact that Cain originally comes from the Modern World didn't dissuade him from profoundly caring about the ancients at all. 

After a brief moment of silence, Cain then asked, "Just what sort of Martial Talent is one supposed to have here? From what we can tell, the standard here far surpasses those in the Central Divine Region. And just what are the rewards?"

"Central Divine Region? That's what they're calling it now?" The leader ghost felt countless memories flash within his mind before he shook his head. 

In an indifferent tone, he explained, "If you're wondering, the talent needed here is extreme. One must be at high Divine-Step to even have the slightest chance of completing. Furthermore, only those whose skeletal age is under 20 can come. Meaning, we expect the limit cultivation standard of youths to be at most the Sky Ruler Realm."

"Mn? Sky Ruler Realm under 20?" If Amber could move, her head would be shaking in incredulous disbelief. 

In that moment, she felt numerous ghost's intent gazes square right onto her.

The pressure slightly tightened, and Amber nearly felt a minor headache. But, she pushed through, uncaring about gaining attention, and told the sibling duo, 

"You know, even you guys reaching Sky Ruler before 20 would make even me a bit shocked. Not even the greatest resources in the Central Divine Region can take such shortcuts. The people who do will usually waste their Martial Potential and become stranded. They're practically asking us to have Martial Perception that's like…practically at a godly level. Sounds challenging, right?"

Though she asked, there was actually complete confidence in Amber's tone. Only the miracle sibling duo could pull something like this off. 

And when Cain and Kali thought over her words, they found it made sense.

Profound Soul Realm is understanding the surface level of Qi Energy that is close to the mysteries of the World. This enlightened one's Martial Perception to the next level, making it possible to reach the Innate Lord Realm.

Just this Realm alone can take up to dozens of years for even the most extreme Martial Talents to cross over. 

Comprehension takes far larger precedent over simple Qi absorption. And naturally, this comes at a far slower, almost snail-like progress.

The Innate Lord Realm is the comprehension of the true mysteries of the World's essence. From this, one can peer into the countless mysteries of Law essence governing the World, governing the entire universe!

Even for extreme Martial Talents, it wouldn't be strange at all if they were to reach an impenetrable bottlecap at this Realm. 

And after this came the Sky Ruler Realm.

Here one experience various enlightening transformation, becoming partially a new being afterward. There truly isn't a single completely average person within the Sky Ruler Realm. 

They're someone thousands of others can't even afford to breathe wrong in their direction. 

Considering all of this, even if this was the Divine Plane or the God Galaxies, reaching Sky Ruler before 20 would be an immense task!

However, neither Cain nor Kali frets even a little bit about it. 

Their Martial Perception was insanely high, their Dragon Charms boosted their cultivation by at least dozens of times, and they have an abundance of resources they could 100% purify.

With all that they have, hell, Cain, and Kali had wild hopes to reach Sky Ruler at the end of these three months! 

If they could go from zero cultivation aptitude to a legendary Sky Ruler expert, just what kind of reactions would everyone give them?

Even if achieving this seems nearly impossible, Cain and Kali were determined enough to still charge right into this flame. They needed to, after all. No way could they let themselves be suppressed by anyone in their Royal Family anymore!

As Cain thought this over, he asked next, "With such rigorous requirements, I'm sure the rewards would be overly grand, right?" 

The ghosts figures didn't respond, falling silent in deep contemplation.

As the silence engulfed the room, Cain, Kali, and Amber could feel the tension subtly rise. Gradually, a thick layer of Killing Intent leaks from the ghost in an attempt of intimidation.

The leader ghost's eyes shined a vicious glint as he slowly said, "The rewards here are a divine class secret nobody but those we give our blessings to can know. And we can't let any accidents slip through us. So show us, just who are exactly are you."

All at that moment, the terrifying pressure nearly suffocated the trio. 

Just the slightest move, and they're dead! 

And finally, then, Cain decided it was time to leave. 

"It seems like no matter what, you're prepared to test us despite our far lower cultivation. If that's the case, we'll see it for ourselves." 

As Cain spoke, he already stimulated his Soul's Core, linking to his Chaos Energy.

The ghosts were confused, nearly thinking this kid had suddenly developed some brain problems. But, they didn't get the chance to even think about their next move. 

Not when potent energy that they couldn't identify, perceive or ever felt before filled the entire room! 

"What?!? The space?!?" 

The ghosts were all horrified. They felt the space in this room wholly shattered apart!

And in that moment, Chaos Energy erupted from Cain's body like a violent tempest! Chaos lights converged, instantly engulfing Cain, Kali, and Amber in a brilliant Chaos Aura.

The ghost was shocked silly but still wanted to stop whatever this process was. 

But no matter their reaction, no matter their far higher cultivation, no matter the Laws they perceived, it all was a step too late.

'Chii!' 

Space ripped apart under the Chaos light. 

Taking an invisible step, Cain teleported straight out of the room! He felt the shackles of space power were far stronger here, but it didn't mean much in the end.

While in his Chaos space tunnel, Cain pinpointed his Soul Sense towards where there was the thickest of Divine Energy. Along with the Divine Energy, he also perceived two other rich energy signatures.

These energy signatures gathered in a massive abundance, evidently being some sort of treasure. 

As Cain rapidly approached this area, his Soul Sense identified just what precisely these energy signatures were.

And in that moment, his blood started pumping in roaring excitement! Up head was everything he was actually hoping for! 

Just like he expected, his slight gamble worked perfectly.

At the same time, the ghost figures all stood rigid, completely like stature. Their eyes couldn't leave off where the trio had last stood. 

Silence, utter silence engulfed the entire room.

Their minds were unable to correctly comprehend was just happened. Even when spreading their Divine Senses out on instinct, nothing got any clearer. 

It wasn't until minutes later that one of the ghost figures blurted out, "Ju-just what the hell happened?!?"
