The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 616 A Great Return

Cain smiled without remorse at the Holy King master's furious display. He cared little about this man's relation to the first Holy King master he killed. The only thing that mattered was that he and Lan Rui had lived.

A quiet sigh escaped Lan Rui's lips. She mentally transmitted, 'So the retaliation was this fierce? A master and a formation most likely equalling to master power...'

She documented this scene in her mind. The Frost Syndicate is a cruel and tyrannical power. But even such a place has those with powerful bonds between them. Taking revenge is only par for the course.

'I would have no trouble facing both. But who knows what other trick they have? They must've planned quite well for us. What a shame for it to all be useless.' Cain was much more indifferent.

'With how organized they are, martial brother, do you believe they could have possible connections with demoness Hua and the other powerful one who targeted you? Besides them, no one else knew we came out here.' Lan Rui suddenly asked.

Cain paused at the suggestion. It certainly wasn't out of the realm of possibility. But at the same time, it was far too unlikely. He told, 'To even talk to powerful Holy King masters like those two, the cost would be sky high. Something that I doubt a mere Frost Syndicate possibly has. Don't fret. I'm sure we can at least gain some insight into this situation when we returned home.'

'Mn...I suppose you're right.' Lan Rui spoke, though, slight concern was still in her tone.

Cain simply smiled at her more calculative nature.

Tightening his hold around Lan Rui, Cain continually teleported through the skies. Their destination was right back towards the Cloudsea Holy Land.

...

A day has swiftly passed. The state of Cloudsea Holy Land was peaceful.

Young geniuses further on their Dao path. While regular to high elders continually regulated the state of affairs. Not many, barely anyone at all knew of a monumental change occurring to one of Cloudsea's Supreme Elders.

At this time, inside the direct disciples' neutral cultivation ground, sat the extreme geniuses of this generation.

A maiden who exuded terrifying ice with just a breath. And a seemingly ordinary young man with a presence that could not be understood by any Holy King masters.

Cain and Lan Rui sat in a cultivation state next to each other, awaiting tremendous news. The news that related to the life matters of Elder Xi.

Truthfully, Cain did not need to be here. He had already accomplished his part of the job. Even Lan Rui had insisted on this being unnecessary.

However, Cain was persistent. He could clearly sense Lan Rui's surging mood. Her state of mind simply could not stay calm. Her Divine Will was wracked with anxiety.

Thus, with a friend in need, Cain decided to stay for emotional support.

There was an unspeakable link between him and Lan Rui. The events of the Frost Islands were carved deep into their souls. Neither of them could forget it.

Lan Rui, even with her cold mask, felt genuinely at ease with Cain beside her. Though it was hard for her to openly admit it. She instead sat close to Cain, showing no discomfort at the close distance.

Initially, Cain believed there wasn't a need for words. Lan Rui had appeared content with staying silent. But cracks started to slip through. The slight shiver of her body gave it all away.

Cain merely needed a glance to tell her mind. Without warning, he began to casually strike up a conversation. "I can sense that you made some slight advancement with your Ice Laws. How long has it been? A couple of days at most, right? Your perception abilities are growing by the day."

"Ah-" Lan Rui's eyes gleamed a bit.

Any cultivators would have a great interest in discussing the dao. Some more than others. Lan Rui certainly fell into the devoted cultivator path.

She could temporarily suppress her worries and say, "It's only because of martial brother. Every fight that I studied was valuable insight. Even as it was all so confusing, my horizons broadened by just being able to experience Holy King level Laws. On my own, I would simply have zero chance to study their Law principles so closely. From today, I'm sure I can reach a small breakthrough."

"Is that right?" Cain casually smiled. "For a bit now, I felt a small wall with my Ice Laws. How about this? We can increase the amount we test our Ice Laws against each other. Now that we're done with all close-door cultivation, I'm sure we can make something work."

Lan Rui paused for a moment. A budding sensation of warmth flowed within her chest. It was simply training together. Yet, the private moments alone, simply discussing pointers on the Dao, spoke to her soul.

A blooming smile. One that radiated divine lights, illuminating Lan Rui's divine looks graced her lips. "I would...really appreciate that, martial brother. I do rather enjoy our private training."

An almost strange sensation bundled within Lan Rui's chest. Her words almost sound suggestive. Especially when considering Cain is in a relationship with Amber.

But none of that could plague Lan Rui's mind. Or rather, she simply focused on the efficiency of their training than her more eccentric thoughts.

The discussion of the Laws of the universe truly did bring out the most lively part of Cain and Lan Rui's personalities.

Their words had even held a certain amount of their Law principles. As if they were using the forces of the universe itself to communicate with each other.

Time quickly tickled.

Before the duo even knew it, a change had rippled across the cultivation ground.

Two unfathomable presence. Auras that can make galaxies shiver to their cores. Breath of the Great Daos descended into the atmosphere!

"Hm?!" Lan Rui instantly arouses to her feet. Her eyes brightly glisten. Anticipation could not keep off her face.

This was really it. The moment she waited for several years now. Her Divine Sense obviously can't perceive the principles of a Primal Soverigen grandmaster. But at the very least, she could feel the suffocating sensation of an all-powerful presence!

One of them stayed as ever terrifying. No lower Laws could possibly stand before it.

While the other Breath of the Great Dao exuded a vigorous sensation of galaxy-tearing power! It was far inferior to the first presence. But nonetheless, this Breath of the Great Dao wasn't feeble, weak, or shriveled in the slightest.

"She really..." Lan Rui's lips slightly quiver. A great sense of joy blossomed through her.

Cain had also taken a stand at this time. His Chaos Soul Sense could more accurately detect the Breath of The Great Daos.

He simply had a calm smirk. One of them was the ever-terrifying Elder Xi. While the other vigorous presence, the one carrying a force to tear the skies asunder, was Elder Ma!

Space had quietly torn apart. Two black lines ripped open the space. Out came two immortal women from the high heavens.

Neither of them exuded the slightest bit of power. Yet, natural rays of faint divine light glisten from their very being. Their gazes controlled everything. All under a slight look from their eyes would crash to their knees, their souls shivering.

These were Primal Soverigen grandmasters. Legendary powerhouses none can disrespect.

Cain and Lan Rui had seen their masters numerous times. Yet, at this moment, gazing into the brilliant divine lights emitting from their bodies, the duo nearly fell into a trance.

Elder Xi and Elder Ma faintly smiled. A single step brought them through space and in front of the duo.
