The Chaos Dragon Prince - Chapter 860: Small Alliance

860 Small Alliance Power and talent were something no one in this universe could ever look down upon, no matter if their cultivation bases were far lower.

Cain, Kali, and Luo Na at least had the decency to nod back. They’re not the type to slap smiling faces. While Xuegang lightly giggled. “Indeed. It’s good to see you too, Martial Sister Lian. We are all quite lucky to find great extra help. I wanted to be extra prepared. The horror stories of this inheritance leave even me with some trepidation.”

Monarch Lian’s eyes suddenly brighten. “Things here will be quite fierce. I’m sure we all know how dangerous this realm can be to even genuine Heavenly Venerates. But the rewards for everything will be plentiful. That’s why I want to propose an alliance between our group. To help each other out when things become far too deadly for us and to not attack each other. I’m sure that’s not asking to for too much, right?”

Her questions went out to both Xuegang’s and her own group. Everyone thought on it for a moment.

The benefits of this type of alliance were evident. Nobody there wants to completely rely on each other. They all have their own standard of pride to work through these immense challenges with their own two hands.

At the same time, there was also no need to clash heads with each other. And saving each other from dying was the least they could do since this wasn’t a real competition against each other.

Before anyone could speak, Monarch Lian took a look over at Cain’s group, directly saying to them, “Oh, and before we continue. I would like to introduce myself as Lian Yu. These are my supremes, Buo Shie, Xun Kun, and Dai Zhou. Once again, it is a pleasure.”

“Mn.” Buo Shie and Dai Zhou, the two men in the group calmly nodded.

While Xun Kun, the only other woman cheerfully waved. “Not every day you see Supreme Emperors getting suppressed by other non-emperors.”

“Mn.” Cain nodded. “Since you already know of us, then I’m glad we’ll be working together. I’m sure there won’t be any problem with having an alliance, right?”

Xuegang took a look over at her group and the others shook their heads.

Lian Yu did the same with her group with everyone in similar agreement. Since they all were on the same page, Xuegang gave a brilliant smile. She was glad it was going so smoothly without any tension her group had.

“It seems the alliance will be made. Similarly, I am glad we will be working somewhat with each other than against each other.”

As a more harmonious atmosphere came out of the two groups, the other groups only watched on in curiosity.

None of them cared all that much about a slight alliance between the two groups. They all had their own high and mighty self-confidence that believed such an alliance wouldn’t really change the end results in any way.

At this time, Cain spoke up with another question. “While we are on the subject, mind telling the kinds of danger we can expect from this realm?”

Lian Yu nodded and paused for a moment. When organizing her thoughts, she said, “The news about this, admittedly, gets a bit murky. Many try to sell this inheritance with various outrageous death traps to keep others from going in so they can one day claim everything for themselves. But the confirmed rumor of this inherence is the fact that each realm in this inheritance is an entire world filled to the brim with the most extreme power of a Dao Law. It goes apart with the Extremity Dao Concept this Demi-God had cultivated. Even the worlds left behind still contain a horrifying amount of strength that can catch even lower early Heavenly Venerates off guard.”

“I see…” Cain, Kali, and Luo Na’s eyes gleamed at the news.

Soon enough, the entire group began conversing with each other to share what knowledge they had about this inheritance.

As those two groups were talking, the other groups of great geniuses were quietly conversing with themselves.

At the Grand Celestial Sword group, the supreme emperors and empress cast several deep gazes at Cain, Kali, and Luo Na.

One of the Supreme Emperors couldn’t take it anymore, mentally asking his group, ‘Should we just act now? They have the potential to get more powerful within here. And I’m sure we can spin a story to quickly convince everyone here. The pay we’re getting for this is tremendously sky-high after all.’

The Supreme Monarch of the group took a moment to think. He genuinely contemplated getting everything done right here and now.

But in the end, he decided against it.

In a calm tone, he said, ‘There’s no use in fighting now. Those three are truly powerful on their own and most likely have the means to escape from here. It would be better to wait once far enough inside to convince the others and then strike.’

‘Mn. Understood.’ The other sword geniuses calmly agreed. They saw no other options but to succeed, failure was never even the slightest possible in their minds.

At the same time, Emperor Vast, Emperor Spear, and Empress Sword were all deep into their own thoughts.

Empress Sword’s mind was still a jumbled mess of mixed emotions. The memory of getting disrespected was still fresh on her mind. But at the same time, the memory of seeing the trio’s battle recording ring was imprinted in her soul.

A sword cultivator like her would always be determined on their path, unbreakable to take any other direction than forward. Being confused like this was a genuine problem for her divine will.

The Supreme Monarch of their group notices something off about Empress Sword. He calmly said to her, “Having trouble deciding whether to bow your head or simply continue on your path with the thought of being their enemy?”

Empress Sword faintly trembles. Her fingers scratched at her palm, her beautiful face twisting with several expressions.

She slowly sighed and said, “Indeed, senior brother. Tch, never before could another genius leave me so-”

“Enough.” The monarch suddenly cut off. His unwavering gaze, filled with an unbreakable determination pieced straight into Empress Sword’s soul.

“You and the others rarely face challenges and cling too hard to life. Even if those three are more powerful, so what? Even if had offended them, so what? Does your Divine Will want to apologize and bow to them? Or does it want to keep resisting to the very end, never truly submitting to even the highest of divine figures?”

“This…” A gleaming bright divine light sparkled out of Empress Swords’ eyes. Her mind worked at light speed, processing everything her senior brother said.

Indeed. To lower divine cultivators and other lower beings, not being able to submit or apologize could be seen as petty, stubborn, and a lack of drive to change.

But to high divine cultivators who condensed their Divine Wills to such a degree that it can faintly affect the world itself, why the hell should they ever care about bowing the head or submitting?

To push through the endless vast mount of the Great Dao, it was impossible to submit or lower the heads.

There needs to be a will, a drive that wants to transcend past all.

As these thoughts swirled around Empress Sword’s mind, she slowly became calmer. She nodded towards her experienced senior brother. “I thank senior brother for the guidance.”
