The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 278 - Terrible News

"Ahh!!" 

Miao Yu simply couldn't admit defeat, he had to focus, or he would die for sure! 

Miao Yu erupted with his full strength, clasping his hands together to raise a Law essence Wall. 

The moment his aura surged, Cain's Law essence Sword crashed upon Miao Yu. 

The Law essence Wall completely exploded, bursting out chaotically powerful storms of essence shockwaves.

Miao Yu miserably coughed, blood spurting from his mouth and body as he was sent flying like a broken ragdoll.

His defenses completely collapsed, his internal body was continually ravaged by the Law essence shockwaves. 

In only one attack, he was on the verge of near-death!

Admits all the fear, immense pain, and confusion, Miao Yu couldn't get his thoughts off from Cain. 

Just where the hell did a genius like him come from?! 

At this time, Cain obviously wasn't going to let of his advantage. 

Smashing his foot into the ground, Cain blasted off like a rocket! 

Cain's speed was superior to Miao Yu's flying momentum. He near instantaneously appeared right above his soaring body. 

Without giving Miao Yu a chance to react, Cain formed a Law essence blade and cleanly swiped towards his neck. 

The Law essence blade was akin to the grim reaper scythe. 

All Miao Yu could feel was a searing pain cleanly tearing through his flesh like hot butter. 

The Law essence blade slashed through his skin, flesh, and bones until Miao Yu's head was completely severed.

Blood spewed like a geyser from Miao Yu's headless corpse. 

Miao Yu's decapitated head was filled with utter fear as it crashed to the ground with a sickening crunch, rolling as blood splattered out it.

Cain smoothly landed without any lapse of focus. His indifferent gaze swept over Miao Yu's corpse only once before looking to the skies. 

So what if they had no enmity? 

This was a true kill or be killed world.

Cain rarely cared about having a moral compass in his previous world. And now, in this world, he knew part of his Martial nature. 

As long as he can survive to achieve the peak of the Martial Path and the Spiritual Path. 

As long he can be with his darling Amber, his cold sister Kali and his loving grandmother. 

As long as he can achieve true freedom with them, then he will be completely satisfied. 

That isn't to say Cain will turn utterly ice-cold like his sister. He knows from Earth the value of interpersonal relationships. 

But still, his willingness to engage in ruthless murder was engraved in Soul's Core.

For a moment, Cain nearly felt a flash of inspiration stir in his Soul's Core. However, before he got inspected, it quickly went away. 

Then distracting his thoughts, three energy signatures appeared before him.

Holding both his hands out, Cain had received three different rewards. 

One was a bright orange sack containing 50 crystal Sun beads. And another was a golden-colored sack containing 50 crystal Law cores.

An enormous sum of resources that far surpasses all previous rounds combined! 

Cain recognized just this alone can monstrously speed up his cultivation time by month or months even.

However, these two were not the most valuable reward. 

The best reward came in the form of an pure white orb. 

The bright white orb slowly floated down, nearing just a few feet from Cain's face.

Specks of light shimmered out. A faint mystical glow shrouded the entirety of the white orb. 

Waves of a mystical aura exuded out of the orb, discharging sensations that could enrapture the mind.

Cain's face brightly lit up. His lips slowly curled into a smile, his eyes slightly flashing in surprise. 

This mystical white orb wasn't completely mysterious to him. It was exuding a familiar sensation he had once previously trained with. 

That's right, this was Miao Yu's Soul's Core! 

Only a pure Soul's Core could release such a profound aura that can entrance any mental psyche.

This was what Cain really wanted when coming to the Nightmare realm. The chance to absorb another genius Soul's Core! 

More than anything, Cain knew of the immense benefit of comprehending previous geniuses' accumulations. It's how he was able to grow massively in just the span of one month. 

Cain didn't even need to do anything special. Miao Yu's Soul's Core smoothly flowed right into the center of Cain's forehead.

In moments, the Soul's Core fused into Cain's mental psyche, instantly releasing all of its accumulated Soul energy. 

Cain closed his eyes, his expression lighting up in gradual bliss.

This Soul energy sensation was superior to what Shi Wei made her experience. 

During that time, he could only inspect that Soul's Core with his Soul Sense.

Now, the Soul's Core fused into his entire being, allowing Cain to relish every part of its mystical sensation. 

Miao Yu's Soul energy rapidly increased Cain's mental psyche's comprehension. It engraved into the deepest of it and also the deepest of his Soul's Core. 

All of Miao Yu's years and years of Spiritual Sea accumulation from reaching the Divine Origin Realm smoothly fused into Cain.

Seconds slipped by, soon enough, Cain felt an instinctive stirring from his Soul's Core. 

Sensations that felt a mix of foreign and familiarity swirled in Cain's mind. 

In that moment, he could finally feel it.

These instinctive sensations were the feelings of his Origin attainment path levels rising! 

When around 10 seconds passed, Cain slowly opened his eyes. 

He slowly said to himself, "Just from this Soul's Core, I can already identify the sensations of attainment paths. Although…grandmother wasn't kidding at all. I basically fused with years of Spiritual Sea accumulation, and yet my Heaven and Earth Path and Source Law Path only raised a few notches."

The best ability he received is undoubtedly being able to identify his Origin attainment path. 

When wanting to precisely known, Cain's Soul will automatically be stirred, relaying all the information into his mind.

Of course, if Cain wanted to reach this point on his own, even for him, it would have taken years. 

Evidently, the benefits of a Soul's Core were far too immense to ignore.

After absorbing Miao Yu's Soul's Core, Cain was soon presented with only two Heavenly energies portals this time. 

There wasn't any other challenger to face now, only rewards and other Law Phantoms. 

Cain instantly set his eyes on the Law Phantoms, a burning fighting spirit blazing within his abyss-like pupils. 

… 

The outside of the Nightmare Realm. 

Hours had already swiftly passed.

As all forces waited for their young geniuses to return, an eager anticipation stifled the atmosphere. 

Many geniuses, in recent times and in the past, have returned from the Nightmare Realm as virtually an evolved person.

One of the greatest legends known here would be Great Sovereign Wu Yu's unfathomable rise. 

She reached the Primal Sovereign Realm at an astoundingly young age and had powerful combat prowess even among other geniuses. 

In today's age, anyone, even some Heavenly Venerate, refers to her title as only a Great Sovereign.

Such a legendary figure was actually once an ordinary genius before entering the Nightmare Realm. 

In her time, she hailed from an average Holy Lord forces that wouldn't be worth mentioning to even Divine Rulers.

After the Nightmare Realm, Great Sovereign Wu Yu and her Holy Land's status was able to make significant waves even in Heavenly Great Worlds! 

Many Holy Lands within the Thunderous Collision Realm want to recreate this great legend. 

But of course, cases like Great Sovereign Wu Yu are very rare to occur. 

Still, there have been numerous other cases where average geniuses being able to reach the Divine Ruler after the Nightmare Realm. 

Hope was at its highest here. 

At one of the numerous occupied mountain terrain camps, tall, broadly imposing men were stationed. They all wore luxurious brown robes that symbols of a Divine Eagle designed all across them.

Each all exuded naturally strong presences only befitting of Extreme Great Divine Sea experts. There was even one ordinary Divine Star expert mixed within their group. 

These three were the Elders of the Iron Eagle Sect. And like many, the Elders were eagerly awaiting the good news from their geniuses. 

One of the Elder was discussing, "Both Cui and Bai alone can make great note worth feats from here. Their attainment paths are not shabby at all. But still, young Miao Yu is amazingly surprising. I dare say he's one of the best geniuses seen in our Sect out of the last dozens of years."

"Indeed. I have high hopes Miao Yu can even lead our Holy Lands out of just being a Low Tier Holy Land! He and Zin can pave a new wave for all of us." Another Elder happily chimed in.

This was the life of these God Galaxie's Holy Lands. 

Placing a significant amount of importance on the young so one day their status can transform. 

To achieve better glory, reputation, resources, and among other essential needs, this was nearly all God Galaxies' inhabits paths in life. 

At that moment, the Divine Star Elder was in similarly good spirits. 

However, the next moment, his smiling expression froze. 

Flashes of traumatizing memories instantly swirled his mind.

As all memories hit him at once, the Elder's face paled beyond belief! He quickly ignited his spatial ring, fearing the absolute worst. 

And upon seeing shattered life crystals appear on his palm, the Elder's pupils dimmed, ranges of chaotic emotions twisting his expression apart.

He couldn't suppress the smoldering feelings within his Martial Heart. 

"Damnit!!" The Divine Star Elder furiously cursed, his body shaking in rage and yet having no intentions to leave his spot.

"Eh?! Wh-what happened?!" 

The other Elders instantly stood at attention. A terrible foreboding feeling began to surge within them. 

And confirming the terrible news, the Divine Star Elder explained, "It is Miao Yu…he was killed by a Huang Dragon!" 

"A Huang Dragon?!?" 

The other Elders froze in place, they similarly feeling all color drained from their faces.

If it was another Low or Mid-tier Holy Land, they can most certainly seek great trouble with them. If it even was a peak Mid-Tier Holy Land, a second-rate force, they can at least try and seek out compensation. 

But the Huang Dragon Holy Family? 

There simply wasn't anything they could do! 

Seeking justice against Divine Ruler experts? 

This was simply asking for death! 

Even the weakest Huang Dragon's Divine Ruler expert can easily deal with their whole force.

The Iron Eagle Sect could only sallow the rage, sallow the humiliation, sallow the despair. It was all out of their power at this point. 

But it wasn't just the Iron Eagle Sect that suddenly experienced despairing news. 

"Ah! Damn it!! Huo'er was killed! Just why it has to be from the Huang Dragons…"

"Those Ancient Phoenxises…hmph! Seems like they're becoming more daring with every year." 

"I can't believe it! Since when the Huang Dragons birthed such a ruthless genius?"
