The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 564 Danger

At this point, Cain had finally spoken up, "That's pretty much it. Master told us that the sensation of the Great Dao was extremely difficult to perceive by even Heavenly Venerates, much less us juniors. But, if the sensation can be described in words, Master did state it's a boundless, infinite sensation. It's as close as we can get to perceive the concept of the Great Dao."

Flashes of inspiration coursed through everyone's minds with Cain's words.

Each of their Divine Senses poured into the line's rune markings carved along the wall. Numerous sensations swarmed their Spiritual Sea. Their abilities were promptly stretched to the limit.

For Jin Ya, Xu Tao, and Hu Wen, they felt as if they were looking at a fog. A mysterious fog that was nearly impossible to see into. But patches within the mysterious fog were specks of the same boundless sensation Cain had described.

They all utilized their soul energy to the limit, attempting to perceive as much of the small patches as they can.

For Lan Rui and Yulong, they had a slightly easier time perceiving the boundless rune markings. Though, it wasn't by a substantial margin. Their Spiritual Sea was still pushed to its very limits.

Amber and Cain were, of course, in a different league on their own.

While Amber was massively superior to the others, relying on her Quasi-grandmaster attainment in Spirit energy Laws to forcefully perceive the boundless Dao rune markings, she still was several large steps lower than Cain.

Cain did have the easiest time perceiving the boundless Dao rune markings. But, at least a full 90% of the sensation was still engulfed in the mysterious fog.

Even as Cain and Amber were utilizing their black lightning to push their Spiritual Sea above the limit, the boundless sensation of the Great Dao was far too elusive for their current minds.

Still, Cain and Amber made a tremendous success that other Divine Decree Lords could only dream of achieving.

At this time, Cain started to slowly walk. He didn't look where he was going. Everything relied on the sensations of his Spiritual Sea. Before he knew it, Cain had ended up close to a completely random wall.

He then intensely focused on this wall's line rune markings. His eyes brightly lit up. 'It's faint, but I can clearly detect that the highest sensation of the Great Dao is here!.'

Just being close to this wall made Cain feel completely refreshed. As if he didn't just participate in two intense battles.

Smiling widely, Cain told the other others, "Follow me, everyone. This is the highest sensation of the Great Dao. It'll be much faster here to broaden our perception abilities than on the other lines. Moreover, we can quickly end up at the Starry Platform from here. If we show up with limited spots left, it'll be all too late."

"Understood." Everyone on the team knew how critical it is to follow Cain, even if his feats are outlandish.

Xu Tao, Hu Wen, Jin Ya, Yulong, Lan Rui, and Amber all lined up beside Cain, respectively. They simultaneously focused their Divine Sense as they followed where Cain was directing them. It was an instant reaction. Each of them felt their minds and souls jerked.

Their Spiritual Sea was intensely stimulated!

Indeed, the highest Great Dao sensations couldn't be compared to what they previously perceived!

For everyone besides Cain and Amber, the misty fog of the Great Dao sensation didn't get easier to see through. But there were far more energy principles they could just barely study.

Even with barely studying could all other group members feel their Spiritual Sea gradually broaden.

Cain took one look behind him, making sure everyone was focused and in place. Once so, he began leading his group down the highest Great Dao sensation path.

He didn't dare to fly or even run. Every step he took was calculative, almost as if he was afraid of taking the slightest step off the path.

It may seem like an exaggeration, but the danger within the Starry Earth Realm couldn't be underestimated.

Though Cain implied they should rush because of the other Divine Decree Lords, he's also aware that those high geniuses would be even slower than him!

None of them have a Quasi-grandmaster attainment level. Nor two Absolute Perfection Supreme Divine Laws. Thus, their innate Spiritual Sea perception abilities are bound to be far slower.

Even peak Divine Ruler geniuses like Lord Chen and Lord Chao would struggle through the maze.

Cain could admit his Spiritual Sea was truly put to the test in this maze. His black lightning surged to its full capacity and yet it was still rough for him to peer into the highest Great Dao sensations.

He never stopped walking, but his pace was only slightly faster than a snail's crawl. The difficulty pushed his mental ability to the limits.

But Cain could still feel his perception abilities gradually increase. The thin separating him from the Divine Star realm was only becoming shorter.

Of course, Cain didn't waste his breakthrough. Once he reaches the starry platform would he undergoes a perfect breakthrough far beyond other genius standards.

Minutes slowly passed on Cain's trail. The whole group appeared serene as their Spiritual Sea was engrossed in the maze.

Still, zero danger jumped out at the group. The lack of danger didn't mean anyone let go of their tension.

Cain was the most focused on spotting any potential danger.

A few more minutes of walking and Cain's caution soon came true. He suddenly stopped, raising his hand to halt his group.

The others were puzzled, but nobody had questioned Cain.

Without any words, Cain flicked two of his fingers. Beams of lightning lights charged out. These two essence streams struck two specific parts of the wall and floor 100 meters in front of them.

'Chi!'

Loud booms burst from those two specific points. The lightning essence had torn off their covers. Not being covered by anything caused waves of insidious black gases to flow out of the broken tiles!

The black glasses were darker than the abyss, being able to see right through them. A horrid feeling ripples from the black glasses. Its energy principles quickly seeped into the atmosphere.

Venomous and poisonous, enough to tear apart mortal cities to ashes.

"Nng?"

Everyone in Cain's group, including Cain himself, felt gross by just sensing the black gasses. As if they had just encountered the most insidious poison known to man.

Even Divine bodies would crumble to dist with just one touch of the black gases!

Cain didn't hesitate in surging his various arts. Frosty lightning shrouded his fingertips. Within the essence was the image of Chaos chains.

Three brilliant streams of essence converged, its energy principles mincing at the atmosphere. A single light ray from the frosty lightning withheld overwhelming power. Insidious sensations couldn't suppress the essence streams. It was suppressed, completely frozen by the force of pure power!

Flicking the frosty lightning chain forward, the essence stream instantly tore into the black gases.

Chaos energy principles, along with two Absolute Divine Law principles, spread and cover the black gases within a few moments.

Large tremors spread through the black gases. Corrosion energy principles within the black gas may be enough to instantly annihilate millions of divine cultivators.

But corrosion couldn't triumph over pure strength!

With a faint impact, the black gases were vaporized into complete nothingness. The insidious sensation had instantly left.

Though, the wariness only increased in Cain's group hearts. Yulong slowly muttered, "Did everyone feel that? There was a mix of Dao energy principles, but every single one of them gave that same poisonous feeling. I can only imagine how terrible it would be to fall into a trap like that."

Mixing different Dao energy principles could evidently produce powerful effects. There wasn't even a need for a cultivator to master several Dao Laws. As long as they have the means to unleash an attack like that, the mixed Dao energy principles would grow and continually mutate.

Cain quietly sighed. "Thankfully, I destroyed it quickly and from afar. Come on. We'll be picking up the speed from here on out. But remember to be absolutely careful and don't hesitate to speak up."

"Understood." Everyone in the group nodded, understandably far tenser than before.

Cain slightly picked up the pace. He still didn't fly, but went a pace reasonably faster than before.

Even while following the highest Great Dao sensations, Cain made sure to specifically avoid every potential trap.

It didn't matter how non-threatening the power of the trap was. He didn't want to risk any adverse effects befalling his tea.

Traveling like this, Cain believed they would be far safer than other Divine Decree Lords who simply had to rely on their rudimentary level perception abilities.

However, all of that changed within a single moment.

They didn't even get to travel too far or for a long time. Cain had suddenly stopped, his Chaos Soul Sense prickling with tremendous danger!

His eyes rapidly enlarged. A sensation he hoped he wouldn't encounter had appeared. Like a nightmare from the deepest part of his mind, that terrifying charred creature had come!

Even before getting close, not only Cain, but everyone else in the group suddenly felt their souls intensely stirred from an approaching deathly threat!

"Hm?!" They all instantly surged their energies. This insidious aura made their skin crawl.

Nothing they felt before could compare. A creature on an entirely different plane of threat and power. It could tear through even divine cities!
