The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 700 Waiting

Wanting to regularly fly through this layer wouldn't bring him any benefits. Only draining his Inner World energy for potentially much more bigger fights.

Chaos energy surged through Cain's soul. An invisible step forward teleported him through the void space, Chaos energy principles completely phasing through the Dao law suction force!

Cain believed it would be just as simple as the first layer. However, seconds into his teleportation, an intense pull drained at his soul energy.

He had an abundance of soul energy to use at any given time. Chaotic teleportation could barely drain away a percent even after continuous use.

But, using Chaotic teleportation in this layer pulled a considerable to his soul. A clear 5% was used instantly!

Cain briefly paused. He crossed dozens of miles already. But there was no he could ignore the noticeable drainage of soul energy.

It wasn't as if the suction force turned lighter the farther he went in. A greater suction force was already straining Cain's body by just standing here.

Cain had to take a moment on to proceed from here. 'Hmm...there could be a possibility of a beast being here to test us. That'll be an even greater drain on all of us. Probably too cruel to even the great world geniuses. I do like to fight, but no point in testing myself in unfavorable conditions.'

With a plan of action, Cain slowed himself down and remained extra cautious within this layer. One teleportation only brought him a couple of miles forward.

The drain to his soul was less, but still there.

At the same time, Cain had to focus his Chaos Soul Sense on what route would be the least draining to him and carefully teleport him through the void space. All of this was in order to not recklessly spend soul energy over phasing through the black holes of laws.

Depleting his soul energy might as well be Cain crippling himself. He would be able to fight. Albeit very clumsily.

The soul is the bridge that allows Cain to control his Inner World and the mystical law force of the universe. Without it, he would only be overexerting his soul nucleus and wasting extra energy from his Inner World.

This new teleportation process was far slower than what Cain used to. But being this precise with his Chaos energy provided him with new ideas on how to manipulate its principles.

New topics about the laws of Chaos faintly emerged in his Spiritual Sea. He wouldn't be able to break any new ground. But, after all this time, Cain was reaching a new boundary of Chaos energy laws.

Minutes into his precise travel, Cain suddenly paused once again. His Chaos Soul Sense could still expand out far and wide within this layer.

He began to detect the presence of the other extreme geniuses rushing into this 2nd layer. Although, not a single one of them would dare go fast within here. They all needed to take the slow and methodical route.

One group of presence made Cain raise a brow. They were superior to many others, evidently being on great world geniuses' level.

Typically, one would expect for them to be as far as apart as possible. And yet, three of these presences were close together.

'Working together?' Cain was a bit curious but didn't bother further.

His Chaotic teleportation activated and tore him through the void space. The speed was slow for Cain, yet also terrifyingly quick from an outsider's perspective.

In mere minutes, he had already reached the end borders for the 2nd layer.

The black hole laws suction force was the most terrifying here. Its intensity allowed it to be fair to all challengers.

But at the same time, if not careful, a Divine Ruler can get easily sucked without any resistance.

Cain was faintly worried about his girls. They all were greatly talented, enhanced by intertwining their bloodlines with him. However, this was still a difficulty challenging to even Heavenly Great World geniuses.

Cain wished he could help, but this was all a solo test. Everything depended on one's own talent and abilities. He could only pray for their good luck.

An invisible step forward brought Cain right through the final black holes of the 2nd layer. The drain on his soul energy was terrifying.

A clean 40% drained in a single instant!

However, it was all worth it in the end. Cain phased right through the 2nd layer.

When he blinked his eyes open, everything was tranquil. There was no suppressive atmosphere. Or terrifying black holes of laws.

The garden world was the epitome of serenity. Any divine mind could easily relax, allowing themselves to be immersed in its faint Dao principles.

Cain quickly assimilated into a meditative state and began ingesting soul recovery pills. All of his fatigue and loss of energy began to rapidly recover.

This brief downtime reminded Cain of the competition back in the Atlas realm's special inheritance. During that time, he was able to easily suppress the Divine Decree Lords to allow spots for his girls and friends.

It was an enthralling sensation to continually suppress Divine Decree Lords.

That couldn't happen here, however.

Cain knew he couldn't instantly crush any great world genius. Furthermore, even the ones he can instantly crush have troublesome backgrounds.

The time hasn't yet come where he could run with free rein.

It was a small worry as Cain wondered if his girls would pass the 1st or 2nd layer. But, like before, all he could really do is believe in their talents and hope for good luck.

Out of them all, Cain at least was assured he never had to worry about Kali.

His thoughts were soon proven right.

Around twenty minutes passed. Cain was already back to his full capacity. When his eyes open, his Divine Sense detected an unfathomable presence rushing right towards him.

Icy divine lights filled the sky. They instantly tore through space, stopping short at Cain's side.

A divine woman emerged out of the icy divine lights. Kali smirked with her arm crossed as she proudly nodded at Cain. "As expected of us supreme geniuses. Not even those mere great worlds can compare. We're not only first, but so far ahead of everyone!"

"Is that right?" Cain smiled as he stood. He was glad that Kali wasn't hurt, even though he knew it was only a faint possibility of that occurring. "We may be ahead, but don't get too big of ahead now. Test and direct combat are different. I'm assuming combat will be involved in some way during this test."

Kali's battle-hungry grin nearly split her face. "And I can't wait. That pompous ass dragon really needs to be taught a lesson. Along with that crazy lightning girl. So much excitement, huh?"

"Mn. Oh, and by the way. Did you happen to see, or at least, sensed the others during your travels?" Cain's tone turned serious here.

An equally serious expression crossed Kali's face. She slowly said, "That damn 2nd layer is tricky to get through, but nothing is impossible. After taking so long on it, I did detect Amber, Yulong, and Zexi's faint bloodlines. And that's because your blood essence is deeply intertwined within them. Given they're there, those other two should be close to them. So, they have a chance of coming in. Have faith, brother. I've seen many of those high tier, peak tier, and even quasi-great world geniuses forced to leave after almost being swallowed by the black holes."

"Mn. I suppose faith is all that I can really have at this moment. But I don't want to worry myself. Since we have the time, let's catch up a bit."

As Cain spoke, Kali was more than happy to engage. The sibling duo really haven't had the time to peacefully talk with each other.
