The Chaos Dragon Prince - Chapter 878: Demi-God Test
“Ugh..” Low groans distracted Luo Na’s attention. She snapped around to see Cain and Kali slowly sitting up.
Both of them were considerably pale. A near-head-shattering headache was dominating the dragon duo’s minds.
Cain felt the greater head pain as he truly pushed his soul nucleus to the absolute limit. If his soul cultivation wasn’t at the Divine Ruler realm, the strenuous force he continued to put on his soul would’ve caused it to completely burst apart!
Thankfully, there was no lasting internal injury to the dragon duo. With their powerful regenerative bloodlines, Cain and Kali could already feel strength flowing back through their bodies.
They assimilated into a cultivation state to quicken their recovery rate.
Luo Na internally breathed a sigh of relief. If something truly were to happen to the dragon duo, she would be at a total loss.
A moment of silence passed through the throne realm. The trio could finally take a breather after all that intense action.
But just in the midst of their silence, a faint glittering light sparkled on top of the highest throne chair.
Everything seemingly froze at that moment. An unfathomable sensation, something so divine, beyond all mind comprehension, engulfed the atmosphere.
“Hm?!” Cain, Kali, and Luo Na’s eyes completely widened. They shot their gazes straight onto the highest throne chair.
There, they all saw a mystical sight. What appeared to be a human-like being was hovering above the throne chair.
This being was pure white, nearly translucent with no physical traits of a human. Even like this, the spirit being commanded not just the world, but nearly the entire heaven.
Anything he said would be taken as law. Anything he does will cause the galaxy itself to tremble. All lower beings were nothing more than specks of dust compared to him.
Even Heavenly Venerates would need to kneel!
This white spirit looked down at the trio with genuine surprise flashing on his face. His voice was soothing to listen to as he said, “This is quite the surprise. For more than one to come and for two to be only half-step Holy Kings and one half-step Primal Sovereign.”
His voice caused the trio to go into a faint trance. None of them fully noticed that this white spirit lingered its profound gaze on Cain for more time than it really should have.
But just a moment later, when the trio snapped out of their daze, they could only see the same faint curious expression on the white spirit’s face.
“If I have to assume, then you are the Extremity Demi-God, right?” Cain calmly asked.
The faint pressure of an being surpassing Heavenly Venerate was overwhelming to be sure. But principles exuding from his Chaotic Emerald allowed him to quickly calm down.
It was a guess in Cain’s mind. But it seems these principles truly weren’t just limited to suppressing the heavens.
“Indeed I am. And I would suggest to properly heal away your injuries. As your next time may be just be the last thing you’ll ever see.” The white spirit cautiously warned.
A treatment from a Demi-God, even with just this small bit was already enough to stir the trio.
The trio knows full well that if this white spirit wanted to, it could most likely force them to take the next test as they are now. Thankfully, it seems their unusual talents scored them some saving grace.
Cain, Kali, and Luo Na instantly brought out saint-tier healing pills, ingested them, and focused back into a cultivation state.
Healing essence energy swirled through their bodies, quickly bringing the trio all back up to their peak.
Time quickly passed, and a few hours already slipped by.
By this time, Cain, Kali, and Luo Na already gained back their rosy complexions. Their health was at 100%, brimmed with a vibrant energy to face any challenge the world had to throw at them.
The reason they took extra time in healing was to stabilize their souls and to comprehend the new insights they gained after using their souls to an extreme.
Cain and Kali experienced greater insights. Their Spiritual Seas were nearly there. They could see only a thin line separating them from finally grasping the elementary stage of the Extremity Dao principles!
Only one step was missing before they could take that final plunge.
Cain and Kali knew they couldn’t force it. Dao breakthroughs could only come when it’s natural.
Thus, at the same time, Cain, Kali, and Luo Na flung their eyes open, divine lights rippling out of their pupils.
Calmly standing up, they stared directly into the white spirit’s indifferent face.
Cain had zero fear or hesitation when asking, “So? What will be our final test?”
The white spirit faintly nodded. A snap of his hand twists the rules and laws of this mini realm.
A pulse of unfathomable power radiated. Out of the power came three mystical Dao portals.
“Your final test is to face a Half-step Heavenly Venerate Dao phantom that is based on my talent. I can somewhat tell without the suppression of the world, you three are roughly equal to half-step Heavenly Venerates. Quite an amazing feat to achieve no matter the Era you are in. Now then, go on, let me see if your talent can bring you to even greater heights.”
The white spirit’s voice had a faint trace of eagerness. Perhaps what he’s been looking for has finally come.
There was no more need for words. Cain, Kali, and Luo Na traded glances with each other before calmly nodding.
In an instant, the trio soared to their respective Dao portals as trails of divine light, entering them without an ounce of hesitation.
…
Space twisted for Cain. The teleportation was instant and opening his eyes, Cain found himself in a wasteland of a field.
No sign of life was around for miles. There wasn’t any luxurious explosion of divine lights or anything really befitting for a divine cultivator.
All of it was strange as even a weak divine cultivator will naturally exude divine lights. This just comes from the fact their Dao power will always be grand or extravagant in some way. For everything to be completely dead signified an extreme master of Dao control.
Cain could only look around the wasteland for a couple of seconds. He paused midway, his eyes blinking at a mystical sight suddenly appearing hundreds of meters before him.
The person before him barely looked like a phantom. There was practically no difference between him and a human besides a few brighter white spots on his skin.
The man silently stood, his bearing like that of the entire sky itself. Everything around was under his absolute control.
His gaze could pierce through the fabrics of space and time itself. Not a single soul would be able to escape his judgment. All would fall prey to a divinity no lower divine person could understand. .
Not just his presence was immense. Cain had also sensed that this white robe man was exuding tremendous pressure not just on martial essence, but also on the astral body and divine soul!
A triple-three way pressure!
This alone would put any other genius nearly on the level of any supreme genius.
Cain didn’t have any words. Staring at a talent who was going to reach True Divinity was a sight in itself.
Right when he was going to move or even react, the white robe man’s eyes slightly widened.
There was no rippling pulsation of terrifying power. Space didn’t loudly shatter or a great divine flash engulfed the entire world.
And yet, the white robe man made a move that suppressed everything.
The white robe man took a simple step forward. But this step instantly teleported straight through space!
He was inches before Cain, a majestic saint sword glistening within his palm.
The saint sword faintly gleamed. Horrifying surges of Dao power flowed through the blade. Nothing will be able to stop the crushing wave of power flowing out of the saint sword.
With a simple slash, the saint sword sliced towards Cain, exuding an momentum to slash through an entire solar system!
‘Shit!’ Cain cursed, genuinely surprised at the instant movement and immense amount of power.
This wasn’t Dao power he could underestimate in the slightest. While the Dao principles exuding from the saint sword weren’t causing a heaven-shattering change throughout the atmosphere, the Dao principles still radiated power far above any of the Supreme Emperors of the Lightning-Destruction sect!
