The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 807 Vicious Trap

?

The group only walked a few steps. And they soon stopped in front of a majestic tree. 

No, calling it a mere tree would be far too simple. 

Cain, Kali, and Luo Na knew they were looking at a golden tree, but the entire atmosphere surrounding this golden tree transcended everything. 

It was utterly ethereal, practically otherworldy, existing in a different plane compared to all other existences across the entire universe. 

On this golden tree contained several unique words. Every letter beautifully carved on the golden tree rippled an intense sensation. 

Something more intense than the overwhelming power of any Great Dao across the nine heavens! 

There wouldn't be a single person who could ignore the universal sensation from this golden tree. Even Heavenly Venerates would instantly crumble to their knees in utter reverence.

Even Cain, Kali, and Luo Na couldn't resist gaining a dazed look in their eyes. Their souls were instinctively drawn forward. They were like moths to a flame. 

Without any regard for anything else, they were attracted to the golden tree. They wanted to dive right in, seeing all it had to offer, seeing into a world far above their own! 

Even though the Yuo duo had witnessed it one time before, simply seeing it again pulled them into a far deeper daze than Cain's group. 

Yuo Shie's lips quiver. She slowly murmured with an absolute look of reverence flowing through her eyes. "This right here is the Golden Tree Of Demi-Gods. Nobody knows for sure, but somehow, this tree was infused with the complete essence of a Half-step True Divinity, a Demi-God. The Lighting Destruction sect and our grandfather sealed this place only for the most worthy to study here." 

Cain, Kali, and Luo Na were greatly shaken up. Their minds could not stay calm. 

In their homeland, barely anything at all was said about the realm above Heavenly Venerates. The lower masses knew absolutely nothing. Even Quasi-Heavenly Great Worlds were clueless. 

While the peak Heavenly Great Worlds only regards True Divinity as this legendary fable their ancestors had achieved. The mystery of True Divinity only made the trio that more curious about it. 

And now, standing right before them was the unfathomable martial essence of a Demi-God! 

There barely was any Great Dao or other essence energy flowing through these golden words. But even this tiny portion was immense. 

Cain, Kali, and Luo Na's massive perception abilities were slightly stumped. They genuinely needed to slowly study these golden words to just grasp their most basic principles. 

And there was no need for them to even think about the power disparity. A mere speck of dust from a Demi-God can erase their entire existence. 

At this time, Cain slowly murmured, "Is there really no traceable origin of this tree? Why would a Demi-God go out of their way to plant something so great in the Outer Ridge?" 

Yuo Shie helplessly sighed. "Your guess is as good as ours. Even the massive Lightning Destruction Sect has the faintest of clue about this tree. All we can say for sure is that this Demi-God had also influenced the secret realm that leads up to this area." 

"Is that so?" Luo Na curiously spoke up. "Even the highest Venerate realm isn't as intense as this one..." 

Even saying it, Luo Na felt it was an underestimate. She could accurately recall the peak secret realms from the Heavenly Great Worlds. 

And even when ignoring the Golden Tree Of Demi-Gods, everything about this realm absolutely dwarfs her homeland's secret realms. 

All of this reinforced this thought in the trio's minds. Higher realms of cultivation were still something otherworldly. Something that mere combat prowess probably won't be able to transcend unless they also evolve from their current bodies. 

With these thoughts in mind, the group took slow steps forward. 

They walked in a slight trance. Not even realizing that their bodies were coming closer to the golden light. 

However, when Cain took a step on a specific spot, his soul instantly erupted all on its own! 

The Chaotic Emerald glimmered within his soul nucleus. An unfathomable stream of Chaos light swirled his soul and invisibly extended to Kali and Luo Na's souls! 

'Hm?!' They all froze. Their eyes widened in utter disbelief. 

Thankfully, the Yuo duo were entranced by the golden tree so neither of them noticed their strangeness. 

Cain, Kali, and Luo Na instantly regained their calm. But their minds were reeling. 

Cain and Kali were especially shocked. They always knew Chaos energy principles were unfathomable. 

But now it showcased abilities that can resist the passive effects of the essence of a Demi-God? 

This certainly wasn't that Chaos energy principles held greater power at all. 

No, in terms of the fundamental structure of Dao Law principles, Chaos energy principles still exist in a higher fundamental realm! 

Meaning, without the actual power of a Demi-God, any passive effects will not be able to affect their souls. 

Luo Na blinked, mentally transmitting, 'That was...mysterious. Something instantly attempted to invade our souls. But a source of power from Cain protected us, right?' 

Cain solemnly replied, 'That's right. And it wasn't just because of my mystical power. If our entire being weren't so much more amplified than even ordinary late stage grandmaster, no matter how mysterious my principles were, we would've still lacked the foundation to resist.' 

'Heh.' Kali coldly chuckled. 'This is seriously vicious! I can bet even Heavenly Venerate's souls wouldn't grasp Dao Law principles at a fundamentally higher level than a damn Demi-God. This is basically an unavoidable trap!'

'And it doesn't just stop there.' Cain wearily sighed. 'My special detection sensed that was trying to invade us was the principle of a soul-binding art! And worst of all, the sensations of these principles...it seems eerily similar to a Celestial Fey!' 

Kali and Luo Na visibly trembled. Not a single time had Kali ever doubted Cain's words. She has blind faith in his overwhelming abilities. 

While Luo Na tacitly never asked more about Cain's powers nor does she try to dig deeper. She patiently waited for that level of trust. 

Even so, hearing that this entire realm could be a trap from a possibly Celestial Fey was terrifying enough! 

The Chaos Soul Sense was truly hard at work. Identifying the principles of a soul binding art was easy enough. 

But Cain inevitably encounters more trouble when trying to track down the origin of this person. Simply relying on such little martial essence and the fact there barely was any soul or blood essence left within made it an extremely difficult task. 

Cain hoped it was just a race similar to a Celestial Fey. But he had a feeling with his luck of enemies, it really was most likely his hated enemy. 

Sighing more, Cain continue to say, 'In any case, I did manage to suppress any lingering principles within our soul. Thank the heavens there was no real power behind this strike. Otherwise, we would've ended up like those Yuo duo now. I can clearly detect it now. Both of them are completely under the bind of this Demi-God.' 

Both Luo Na and Kali felt a tremble course through their souls. A terrifying idea began to emerge. 

Luo Na was the one to say, 'If that's so...then could those envoys and Monarch Celestial Flame also be under this influence? For them to know about this secret realm, they surely must've been tempted as well...' 

'Peak stage grandmasters under binds?' A shudder was in Kali's tone. 'I don't even want to think about it.'
