The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 27 - Peak Breakthroughs

Kali stood still and patiently, waiting in bated anticipation for whatever her brother was attempting to do.

At this moment, she almost wished they did take their journey a step slower to gain more information from their grandfather.

But at the same time, she also saw it as a bad idea.

Compared to their grandmother, Kali wasn't all too sure if their grandfather could keep their secret lockdown.

As the Ancient Dragon Emperor, he still had numerous responsibilities despite having already stepped down from his Emperor position. While with Shi Wei, she had far more free reign in her duties.

Furthermore, Kali couldn't deny a sense of wonder in discovering things all on their own. It felt far more accomplishing than having everything plainly laid out before them.

As Kali rummaged on her thoughts, a few seconds already passed.

Throughout this small duration, Cain remained utterly still. His Dragon Charm was activated, but only a faint white Light shimmered from it. A far cry from how he could usually make it brightly react.

For a moment there, Kali believed it would take Cain a bit more time than usual to perform something stunning.

However, her thoughts immediately changed the very next second.

'Chi!'

In an abrupt instant, both Cain's Dragon Charm and the beast core shined an intense white Light!

Kali had to squint her eyes from the sheer intensity. Questions began to ring in her mind, so Kali inspected the beast core with her Soul Sense.

And immediately upon sensing it, Kali was left stunned. 'The core's energy, it's changing so fast?!'

There wasn't any mistake. From her Soul Sense, Kali could perceive that the berserk quality of the beast core's profound energy was rapidly changing at sonic speeds!

Cain didn't even notice Kali's reaction. He kept his focus in directing the sensation from his Dragon Charm into the beast core.

Soon enough, he shattered through what felt like an invisible barrier protecting the beast core.

And from there, the Dragon Charm worked its magic, purifying the beast core's profound energy to absolute perfection!

Then, after only a couple of seconds, Cain sensed he couldn't fill the beast core anymore.

Once he reached that threshold, he cut off his Dragon Charm, causing it to lose its bright shimmer. At the same time, the once orange beast core now has a permanent white Light aura engulfing it.

Focusing his gaze on the newly changed beast core, Cain was quite pleased with the result.

Now, the energy he sensed from the beast core was no longer muddy or imperfect. Instead, it was as pure as the energy flowing within the air.

A sense of elation swelled inside Cain. With this, he got yet another tremendous cheat that will let him and Kali quickly tear through this Mortal Planet!

Suddenly then, Cain was taken out of his thoughts when he felt Kali grasped his shoulder.

"This….this energy! So pure, as pure as the air! With this, we can safely cultivate the energy without worrying about our foundation. Just….how did you do it, brother?"

Kali couldn't even take her eyes off the beast core as she spoke words of praise. She honestly didn't know what to think. It was like Cain was a constant bag full of world-shattering surprises!

Kali was sure if this ability was known to the world, it would make even the most powerful of Divine Tier cultivators go green with greed.

"I'm not exactly sure how it happened. I'm just assuming that with the unfathomable blood essence of our Dragon Ancestors, it should be enough to purify something like this. And thankfully, it seems that I was right."

Cain offered the best explanation he could. But truthfully, even he wasn't sure what exactly was going on.

During this entire process, it was very vague, just barely noticeable, but Cain did feel his Chaotic Emerald slightly pulsate.

Even though it was only a slight pulsate, Cain took that moment to heart. And from it, he couldn't exactly tell if it was Chaos Energy or just purely the power from the Dragon Charm that purified the beast core.

After all, the Chaotic Emerald is directly connected to his soul, so it wouldn't be surprising if Chaos Energy was the underlying reason for this change.

Whatever the actual cause was, Cain made a mental note to experiment with this very soon.

"Hue~. Really brother, you just make everything sound so easy." Kali had a slightly wry smile.

At this point, she really needs to get used to seeing shocking things from her brother.

Shaking her head at just how rapidly Cain is changing, Kali had then morphed her expression to become a bit serious. She continued to say,

"But seriously, I don't think I need to say it. But still, only we can know about this ability. Even I dread to think what would happen if anyone were to know you can do this."

Cain seriously nodded at Kali's advice while also flashing the purified beast core into his spatial ring. He didn't need to be told twice about the violent greed almost every being in this merciless universe has.

Focusing his attention back around the tent, Cain then told Kali, "Alright, let's clear whatever else is out in this campsite. Afterward, let's just use the beast cores we get here to quicken our cultivation. Like you said, Kali, there's not much we can do in this realm. And we actually don't have that much time for leisure."

Initially, Kali was all for relying on themselves to advance through their cultivation. But with the many benefits of their Dragon Charm, she relented from that path and accepted their cultivation going immensely fast.

Moreover, three months truly isn't a long time for cultivation.

For most, this would just be an extended closed-door cultivation session that goes by in the blink of an eye.

With this in mind, Kali found it incredibly amusing how she and her dear brother will be shooting through the Mortal Tier of cultivation like it was nothing.

Although this way, she also knows they would be able to experience incredibly blood-pumping battles far sooner.

Shifting her mind back to the present, Kali and Cain began swiftly searching through the rest of the Liang Tribe's campsite.

….

Hours swept by like the wind, and a full day already passed.

At one specific area of the dark-shaded woods, a strange occurrence was warping the environment. The usually calm air of the woods was in now in a frantic stir.

Outside of one cave, pools of Spirit Qi were soaring straight inside it like a thunderous storm. If anyone were to stop by here, they would be utterly stunned by the bright blue light show Spirit Qi was showcasing.

And it wasn't like Spirit Qi itself could ever typically be seen.

Only when a genius cultivator is achieving a monumental breakthrough would Spirit Qi become visible in the air.

This would represent the high amount of Martial Talent that cultivators have, being able to showcase Spirit Qi's physical form just through their cultivation.

Furthermore, despite an overwhelming abundance of energy gathering here, no Tier 1 vicious beast dared to come.

The pressure emitting from the cave was immense to any Tier 1 vicious beast.

Just simply coming in the general vicinity would make any beast feel incredibly suffocated. They wouldn't be able to breathe, feeling like they were right near life-threatening danger.

Inside the cave, two figures sat in a lotus position, cultivating. In both of their hands, a bright white Light was shimmering like a burst of rising sunshine.

These two figures were the cause of such densely powerful Spirit Qi, and of course, they were Cain and Kali.

Compared to just a day ago, Cain and Kali's Spirit Qi had undergone a monumental transformation.

Now, they achieved a feat that would make God Galaxy cultivators utterly bewildered.

All in just a span of a day, Cain and Kali reached the peak of the Spirit Opening Realm! Now, they both were 10th level Spirit Opening masters.

Reaching the peak of a realm in just a mere day, even if it's the beginning realm of cultivation, was simply unimaginable.

Although, that wasn't to say Cain and Kali reached this level entirely on their own.

From the Liang Tribe's campsite, they gained an abundance of beast cores that helped tremendously increase their cultivation speed. And with Cain's purifying methods, they had nothing to worry about from absorbing an overabundance of beast core's profound energy.

Furthermore, both Cain and Kali's comprehension abilities are already top-notch. They essentially didn't need to take any time at all to actually comprehend the complicated properties of Spirit Qi.

At this moment, Cain was already done with stabilizing his breakthrough. Even though they both reached the same level, he had, of course, arrived here faster than Kali.

In fact, when combining his cultivation with the beast cores, it took him only several hours at most to reach the peak of the Spirit Opening realm.

Compared to that, Kali needed the whole day to reach peak level.

After cultivating all this time, Cain truly understood that there is a distinct difference between his and Kali's Martial Talent.

Because it's simply the beginning of their cultivation, their differences didn't seem like much. But Cain could fathom as they progressed, the differences will begin to spring up a lot more.

On the one hand, this told Cain that he genuinely has something even more special going for him. And on the other, he was a bit worried that this may affect Kali's prideful and competitive mind.

Cain could very obviously see that Kali was prideful just from the first time he had ever met her. Even when she had low cultivation, she simply exuded a natural proudful air, never wanting to keep her head down.

And this only got amplify as her Martial Talent evolve.

As for her competitive nature, it was more subtle to tell, but Cain saw through it from her words about never losing out to anyone on this Mortal Planet.

Moreover, she also wanted to compete with their other genius siblings sometime in the future.

At this moment, Cain could only mentally prepare himself if just in case Kali would ever want to directly compete with him because of his more special Martial Talent.

Taking his mind off slightly worrying subjects, Cain had finally perceived from his Qi Sense that Kali finished stabilizing her recent breakthrough.

Right then, Cain flung his eyes open, causing rays of dazzling blue rays of light to shout of them.
