Chapter 567 Enemy On A Narrow Road
Chapter 567 Enemy On A Narrow Road
Shaking his head, Cain had finally stood up when his Inner World was back at its peak. His Chaos Soul Sense already mapped out the perfect route for him.
Previously, Cain wanted to go slow to allow his group to gain the most benefit from the highest Great Dao sensation.
But now, he wanted to rush right through and safely secure a spot. Only this way could he ensure everyone from his group can participate in the Starry Earth Platform.
Lightning ice shrouded Cain's body. The rules of the Starry Earth realm weakened under the influence of his overwhelming energy principles.
His body flew off at breakneck speeds, leaving several afterimages in his wake. Space heavily distorted around Cain's speed. He could actually attain such velocity despite the stronger Space Laws inhabiting this realm.
Not even the peak Divine Rulers could weaken space Laws as much as Cain's
Cain's own Law energy principles could even faintly, just very faintly, withstand the faint presence of a Heavenly Venerate expert.
Nobody but Cain would be able to see such a display. However, if known to the outside world, a huge storm would certainly be raised.
The twisty starry maze is a place meant to keep anyone trapped within forever. Facts have been recorded in the past of other Late Stage or sometimes even Peak Stage Divine Rulers failing to see the exit of the Starry maze.
Without sufficient comprehension, the starry maze is impossible to navigate.
Hence Cain's relative ease when he tore through the starry maze. Even at his speed, he made sure to avoid every trap close to or around him.
The destruction spear still left a lingering fear in him. He had zero intentions of acting too confident and leading himself to a dead-end.
Cain wasn't all that sure how long he had traveled. Seconds, minutes, and hours all felt the same to him.
Time seemed to have entered a dimension within this maze.
At times, Cain had even felt like he was simply going in an endless circle.
A seemingly infinite loop would be enough to grind on other Divine Ruler's state of mind. But Cain's mind kept calmly focused, unbreakable and unchanging. His perseverance pushed him to incredible heights.
When it seemed like numerous days and nights had passed, Cain finally saw a change of scenery. His route in the starry maze led him to avoid every path that had a dead-end wall or a trap.
His Chaos Soul Sense hasn't led him astray. But, at this moment, at the end of Cain's sight, was a very same, dead-end wall.
Cain briefly pauses. The highest Great Dao sensations all pointed to this dead-end wall.
No other traps were around or on this final path. Yet Cain was a bit skeptical. He had confidence in his perception abilities, but not to the point where he sees himself as an invincible god.
This could very well be a devious trick by the starry maze. A trick that can lead him to an untimely end if he's not careful.
Cain pondered his options. 'In the end, if it is a death trap, I will just need to expand a great amount of soul energy to escape. Might as well give it a try.'
His courage finally gathered back up. He flew forward at swift speeds, only stopping when he was inches away from the wall.
A thought had streaked into Cain's mind. Chaos energy shrouded his palm. He then placed his Chaos-coated palm on the wall, his Chaos energy principles rippling through it.
In only a few moments, Cain creased his brows. Black lightning glowed out of his pupils.
Through heightening his Spiritual Sea to its maximum, Cain could directly perceive something startling.
This wall was the only part of the whole starry maze completely hollow!
Every other wall, the ground, and even the ceiling had Great Dao principles permeating through it. Mixed within was the insidious energy of the starry maze's deadly traps.
Even weak Spiritual Seas could at least discern the Great Dao sensation rippling throughout the entire place. Yet this dead-end wall lacked everything, as if it was a wall that shouldn't exist.
Cain was slightly startled. His Chaos Soul Sense couldn't perceive this hollow sensation from just meters away. It was only when he interjected his Chaos energy principles and utilized his black lightning to its full capacity that could he detect the hollowness.
If not for his overwhelming advantage, Cain reckons he would've needed to waste a considerable amount of time discerning the truth.
Pulling his hand back, Cain faintly smiles. 'With the truth, the Heavenly Venerate existence probably expects for all challengers to discover how to get through the wall without risking death traps. Only a shame that I can directly skip right over this.'
Cain didn't have any hesitation about breaking the rules. With an invisible step, he teleported through the Void Space, going right past the hollowed wall!
Blinking his eyes the next moment, Cain was soon greeted by a wondrous spectacle.
Where he stood was a large royal chamber shaped in a circular fashion. Carved out the walls of the chamber were twenty-five identical holes. Intricate Dao Runes littered all across the royal chamber. Every shine sparkling from the runes exuded the mesmerizing sensation of the Great Dao.
But this royal chamber seemed tame compared to the sight in the skies.
Miles high in the skies was a massive, golden-colored platform with star runes engraved all across it.
Everything about the golden platform seemed utterly unfathomable. It couldn't possibly exist in the mortal world, Divine Plane, or the God Galaxies. As if it came from a higher dimension unspeakable to even Divine cultivators.
It wouldn't be strange to feel a natural sense of submission against this starry platform. Kneeling down and worshipping the starry platform like a true god.
Even Cain gave a deep stare at the starry platform. His eyes light up brighter than the sun from the heavens.
He quietly sighed. 'The Starry Earth Platform...this feels even more profound than what I feel from Elder Xi's garden world.'
Even his grand Chaos Soul Sense with perception abilities high enough to perceive Great Dao sensation still felt mystified by the starry platform.
Indeed, for a plane that has a direct connection to the Starry Heaven Skies, it simply can't be comprehended unless one is at least in the Heavenly Venerate realm. Or their Spiritual Sea is equal to the Heavenly Venerate realm.
Cain looked back to the ground, studying the circular royal chamber. This place actually had quite the space for dozens of people to gather.
If one were to fight, there would be plenty enough space to do so.
A devious thought soon began to emerge in Cain's mind. A hint of a smile touched his lips. 'There are no rules preventing challengers from fighting each other until the platform activates. Most would be very hesitant, considering their prowess are equal or troublesome to each other. But for me...heh.'
Cain felt confident about Amber and his other friends. However, besides Amber, he honestly couldn't tell if anyone of them would be able to outpace the Divine Decree Lords.
He could effortlessly suppress even peak Divine Ruler Decree Lords. But Cain also knows this didn't mean that any one of them was weak or less talented.
On the contrary. These Divine Decree Lords represent the highest talent of the entire God Galaxy!
Even the lowest ranking Divine Decree Lord has a chance to become a Late Stage Primal Sovereign grandmaster. While the top ten are destined to reach far in the Heavenly Venerate realm!
When comparing the fact that only a million in one has the chance to become mere Divine Rulers, any Divine Decree Lord talent is mind-boggling.
Peak Core disciples from high-tier Holy Lands can't ever compare.
Hence, Cain knows that only Amber has a clear shot at surpassing many Divine Decree Lords in terms of comprehension abilities. While his other friends would lag far behind.
Since Cain promised to let each of them through, he obviously wasn't going to renegade on it.
Thus, Cain sat down in a meditative position, resting his body for action.
In the starry maze, there wasn't a clear time limit. Records stated that it wouldn't be strange for Divine Decree Lords to be stuck for weeks or even months.
Time quickly slipped by.
Cain stayed patient, unmoving, like a statue of calmness. From long hours to a day, and then several days.
A considerable amount of time went by before Cain even knew it.
A week and a half came and went.
It was finally during this lengthy process that Cain detected a life aura.
One of the holes in the world suddenly radiated a glorious fiery light, shining with such heat it could melt divine steel to ashes. An extreme presence rippled into the atmosphere. Heat above heat smashed into the area!
The Fire Light dissipated a moment later, revealing a familiar person.
Cain nearly chuckled out loud. 'Enemies indeed meet on a narrow road.'
The one who appeared wasn't Lord Chen or Lord Chao, but Lord Fire!
The late-stage Divine Ruler genius Cain had thoroughly embarrassed with a flick of his finger. But that shame of defeat wasn't anywhere to be seen on Lord Fire's current jubilant expression.
