The Chaos Dragon Prince - Chapter 907: Offering

“What?! What fairy ta-” Another Council Elder raised her voice.

But before she could finish, the elder sitting at the head of the table, having an unpleasant old, wrinkly appearance that made him seem like an inch away from death, flicked his fingers at light speeds!

This ancient elder held a Perfect Stage Heavenly Venerate cultivation, his Dao lights were dozens of times faster than what Elder Hong could possibly shoot out.

The light-speed Dao lights certainly flew far beyond what the other Council Elders could react to.

‘Chi!’

A dazzling flash gleamed over the entire room.

Within the flash, Cain’s calm voice rippled out.

“They are not lying. You cannot capture us even if you are a Perfect Heavenly Venerate.”

“What?!?” The Council Elders shook in their seats. All gazes narrowed onto Cain’s group now ten meters to their right.

None of them sensed any pulsation of Law power, and yet Cain managed to dodge a Perfection Heavenly Venerate surprise attack.

It didn’t even seem like it could just fall under a fairytale, something like this should be impossible!

Unbeknownst to all, Cain was actually running a bit on fumes. He had his Chaotic Emerald slightly overexerting beyond its limit.

His Chaos Soul Sense, combined with God Tribulation Lightning can even detect a Perfect Stage Heavenly Venerate hidden intent to attack. But to continuously use Chaos Energy to react at Venerates speed while carrying his group took a tremendous tool even on Cain’s massive essence energy reserves.

Thankfully, his gambit paid off. The Council Elders were completely dumbfounded by just this small display.

While the ancient elder slowly shook his head. He raised his hand to silence all the noise, simply saying, “We cannot deal with this now. There’s a much more critical issue to attend to right now.”

His tone caused the other Council Elder Venerates to focus. The crushing threat of Great Marvel City never felt so suffocating as it does now.

The supreme elder from that went out to meet Marvely City’s envoys spoke up, his tone surprisingly calm despite everything he suffered through. “We are only desperate straits now. Talents that can one day surpass Primal Sovereigns are becoming less and less. Junior Lee and Kui only have two other talents that can possibly match them. And even then, they are a bit lacking in some areas. My words may sound unpleasant, but we need to start making sacrifices less we all want to be eternal slaves to the city.”

The Council Elders furrowed their brows. Some opened their mouth to speak, but once thinking harder about it, froze and closed their mouths.

Saying anything in this moment was difficult. Resources were limited, the youth they could send were limited, and soon enough they would be forced into a state where everything they needed was dependent on Great Marvel City.

These Council Elders truly believed they were sinners of the world. But even they resisted just being nothing more than slaves with no option to improve their lives.

The ancient elder released a deep sigh admitting the suffocating silence. He began to say, “Our best bet now is to rely on the talents of our oldest families. At least in that short duration, we can rampant up our…experiments and increase the intensity of our training. Additionally-”

Before the ancient elder could finish, the door to this chamber suddenly opened.

Four Peak Stages Primal Sovereign auras washed over the entire chamber, intense Dao principles far beyond the common geniuses were mixed within the auras.

Naturally, these Dao auras were nothing to everyone in the chamber. But the Council Elders still narrowed their eyes as four Peak Primal Sovreign experts, each of them with a considerably older appearance than others across the younger generations frantically stepped inside.

Two men and two women courageously enter the meeting of unfathomable Heavenly Venerates.

The gazes of the Heavenly Venerates alone caused them all to shiver, making them feel lesser than the ants in the dirt.

Even with this feeling, the Primal Sovereigns instantly kneel down without having any intention to leave the room.

“The four heroes of the Bao Family? What do you think you’re doing?”

“Surely you four aren’t thinking of anything outrageous, right?”

“Now is not time to be outrageous, but to know what and who to sacrifice!”

The various Council Elders shouted at the four Bao Family talents. The swirling pressure turned even worse; the Bao Family talents gritted their teeth to force through the pain of bones cracking.

A single hand from the ancient elder instantly silences everyone. His actions exuded a natural momentum no lower being could possibly resist.

Cain, Kali, and Luo Na felt a tremor in their souls whenever this ancient elder made an action. His Dao principles seemingly held this majestic force of control, swaying everything to his needs.

A hidden cold sweat trails down Cain’s back. Without Chaos Energy, he truly would be helpless when faced with this unfathomable person.

The ancient elder stared directly at the Bao Family’s talents. His cold gaze saw deep into their soul, and his voice rippled through their minds as he said, “If I were to assume correctly, you four want to be offered this time?”

“Yes, Supreme Elder!” One of the Bao men, who exuded the densest Dao aura instantly spoke. The pressure was eating away at his mind, yet his voice did not waver even once. “We are more than aware of our city’s state. Our talent may be high in this city, but it’s merely decently good when placed within Great Marvel City. We only humbly request that in our leave, Supreme Elders can take in our children and directly train every aspect of their cultivation. We believe they truly have the talent to change this entire city situation!”

“Furthermore, we know it may be impossible, but we also hope that just one Eldes can keep an eye on the other descendent of the family. Even if it means they have to go into the focus camps.” One of the Bao women also spoke in a calm, unwavering tone.

“Those children…they are only at five and six, but their talent is undeniable…” The Council Elders began to murmur among themselves.

Even the ancient elder fell deep into thought.

Early-age starting talent is a bit of a risk. In an intense Dao environment, with many resources available, talents changing throughout the years is likely more often than not.

Sometimes, talent that seemed so bright when they were younger stalls as they grow up. The only way to raise talent is through artificial means and forcefully raising talent will always be worse than natural talent.

It’s why the Council Elders are hesitant to agree with the Bao Family, in the case they pour all their resources into talents that may not be up to standards. And every ounce of resources tremendously counts massively in the pitiful state of their city.

Jiang Lee and Lan Kui were silently gripping their fists, a multitude of emotions flashing within their eyes.

While Cain, Kali, and Luo Na were a bit bewildered at the sheer talent disparity throughout the Heavens.

These Bao Family talents are all King Stage Grandmasters. But in this city, they were just considered good enough, while this Great Marvel City considered King Stage Grandmasters as merely good.

They had to wonder just how much more powerful the peak-level talents are.

For that matter, just what are the levels of the highest talents within the Grand Four Sect and the higher Heavens?

The hurdler only grew the farther they progressed through their cultivation. Pressure to improve was increasing, but the trio never once wavered.

When a few seconds passed, the ancient elder sighed again. A decision was made, causing the other Council Eldes to quickly go silent.

“We will accept your proposal. Perhaps luck and risk can bring us a way out of this situation. In any case, your four need to finish any last-minute preparation. The envoys are waiting by the end of this day.”

“Understood!” The Bao Family talents stood up with clear eyes. They deeply bowed and left the chambers without an ounce of hesitation.

Death is a high possibility for all of them. None of them will ever be able to see the smiles on their children’s faces.

However, for the future of their children and the entire city, drastic measures need to be taken to see even a sliver of change.

With the Bao Family talents leave, numerous Council Elders sink down into their chairs, deeply sighing as if they grew older in one moment.
