The Chaos Dragon Prince

Cain had always felt skeptical of the Origin Ancestor story. But now, he could at least confirm that these Dao Core Traces indeed are a far higher form of resource.

His perceptive soul sense can precisely detect the immensely different sensations of the Dao Core Traces and the surrounding environment.

This gradual understanding caused Cain to fall into a trance. Under this trace, the outside world disappeared for him. The only thing that mattered was perceiving the high complex properties of the Divine portion of the Heavenly Dao.

While in this state, changes started to occur in his body.

Flickers of faint blue lights flashed out of Cain's body. These lights all contained a trace of Lightning Law's essence. And compared to what Cain regularly uses, these Lightning Law essences exuded a far richer and heavier sensation.

These were the feats Cain achieved from his comprehension and it was manifesting into a visible form. At far higher comprehension, the cultivation phenomena would only increase.

A few more hours passed slowly.

By this time, changes finally started to occur in Amber's body. Even though her Martial comprehension speed was a bit slower than Cain's, she still managed to reach a point where dark streaks of shadow essence flickered out of her body.

At this point, neither Cain nor Amber reached the level where they could grasp a tiny portion of the Dao Core Traces' energies and absorb them into their bodies.

The profoundness of Divine Essence and Divine Laws was far too massive, even for them.

But even so, Cain and Amber were making astonishing speeds that would utterly horrify other geniuses and ancient-level experts of the God Galaxies.

...

Within a forestry area of Wintry's grassy plains, a group of three suddenly flew out, surging forth at extreme speeds.

This group came from a powerful background. They all wore luxurious magical robes that had a unique family symbol inscribed on them.

Two in the group were the older stewards, and they formed a tight protection for the young, handsome man in the center.

A group like this was on the same level as Sky Bless's City Tian Family. Any other second-rate sect would give them a wide breadth. And even first-rate sects wouldn't casually offend them.

This group hails from Sky Bless's City Zhou Family.

Just like many others exploring Wintry's grass plains, this Zhou Family's great young genius was trying his luck for great fortuitous encounters.

Their current destination leads them right towards a seemingly ordinary cave.

The young man appeared eagerly excited when seeing this cave. He believed he was about to come across an incredible stash nobody else knows about.

His hopes were at an all-time high.

However, when they were merely a few miles from their target, the leading steward suddenly furrowed his brows.

'This...this can't be right?' The leading steward focused his Divine Sense on his peak state. But no matter how much more soul energy he poured out, nothing within his Divine detection changed.

The other steward wore a similar expression of bewilderment.

Even though their young master was greatly excited, the leading steward still had to say, "Young Master Li, something strange is going on. Forget even detecting the treasures. I'm failing to detect any other life auras. There's not even a single Dao beast patrolling around."

Zhou Li's eager expression instantly sobered up. He narrowed his eyes but didn't stop moving as he said, "The odds of someone else coming here should be very low. I don't believe not many know about this spot. And even if they did, the danger here would be enough to kill any other Divine Star groups. Even those Tian rats would be crushed trying to get the Dao Cores from here. Either way, let's get a full clearing of the situation."

Within moments, Zhou Li's group traversed dozens of miles. When nearing the target, their suspicions increased even more.

The cave that was supposed to be open was mysteriously covered up. By the decay of the rocks, the stewards could detect this man-made cover was made several days ago.

The leading steward flashed in front of the rocks, put his palm upon them, and interjected his Divine Sense throughout the entire cave. His Divine Sense reached every little inch of the cave, leaving nothing untouched. The leading steward could even perceive the dirt littering the ground.

However, even after doing a full search numerous times, the leading steward still couldn't perceive any Dao Core Traces.

Taking his hand off the rocks, the steward quietly sighed. "It appears we are unlucky, or this is the work of a beast or some other group, young master. My Divine Sense reached every corner of the cave, but still couldn't perceive even the slightest trace of energy. I would suggest for we rest here and wait until you can activate your compass. If this treasure already disappeared, I fear others might have already taken the soul relic."

Listening to this, Zhou Li was a bit unwilling. As a Divine Origin genius, he needs as much help as he can to increase his foundation for future realms.

But when comparing Dao Core Traces and the soul relic treasures, Zhou Li knew which was superior.

He sighed, relenting while saying, "I suppose you're right. I'd rather die than let anyone from the Tian get the soul relic. Alright, let's rest up here. I will have the compass ready very soon."

The stewards promptly got into position to protect their young master.

All the while, Zhou Li took out a small compass that had glistening metallic skin. It gleamed with a dazzling blue light and exuded a mysterious essence that not many Martial cultivators would be able to identify at first glance.

Zhou Li closed his eyes as he held the compass close to his chest, recuperating all of his Divine Qi.

....

Within the same cave and inside a closed-off cave room, Cain and Amber were still assimilated into a cultivation state.

The Dao Core Traces within their hands still shined brightly without losing a hint of their luster.

Days have passed and yet the duo only scratched the surface of absorbing the energies within the cores. However, what they could comprehend and then absorb brought about immense changes for both of them.

Powerful energy fluctuations vigorously released from the duo. Their Sacred Sage Qi and Law essence were as frantic as a hurricane, gushing out airwaves that smashed into the cave walls and caused meters deep holes within the ground.

Cain's and Amber's auras were no longer the same from a few days ago. Now, they both exuded Extreme Sacred Sage auras that were at the absolute zenith of the entire realm!

Within Cain's dantian, there were now 99 Qi Origin Marks and 99 Lightning Law essence Marks.

At 99 essence marks formed, it meant three things.

Firstly is that Cain's dantian space is now strengthened beyond all belief. It was tough, as a solid break, and wouldn't collapse so easily when concerning the next realm of energy.

Secondly, Cain's comprehension of both Heaven and Earth's Origin energy and Major Lightning Law essence has reached its absolute peak. His Spiritual Sea had continually evolved to the point where he stood at the very peak of Mortalhood. Anything concerning mortalhood is no longer a problem to comprehend.

And lastly, Cain could now draw forth 100% power from both Origin energy and Major Lightning Law essence!

With his heavily dense energy conversion, Cain's prowess was elevated by several large degrees.

Amber had also reached the same progress. While her combat prowess isn't anywhere near as high as Cain, she could still look down on any early fall Divine Origin cultivators with disdain.

The effects of a Dao Core Trace were far too potent. After all, these cores are filled with the richest Divine Qi and Divine Source Law essence.

For any Mortal, absorbing those energies was akin to a sponge soaking up water.

Truthfully, no other Sacred Sage genius should be able to comprehend these cores and then absorb them.

Only Cain and Amber could, with their freakish quasi-expert attainment levels.

A few minutes passed until Cain and Amber suddenly recalled their wild auras. In an instant, the overwhelming power they released vanished without a trace. Now they completely resembled ordinary people in both looks and auras.

The duo gradually opened their eyes and could feel the immense power coursing through their veins. Even their pupils glistened.

Cain's pupils gleamed with flashes of lightning while Amber's pupils were darker than the eternal abyss.

They both stood to their feet, feeling every possible joint of their crackled with pure power.

After fusing with 100% Sacred Sage Qi and Major Law essence, their mortal bodies similarly experienced great transformations.

"Ahhh..." Cain sighed with immense satisfaction. "Now, I feel like we can directly face any Middle Stage Great Divine Sea without any trouble. And perhaps even clash with a Late Stage. The peak of Mortalhood...just one step away from Divine Origin!"

"Mn. Even I can't help but feel eager about fully shedding away from Mortalhood. Plus, it also increases our chances to survive." Amber said, equally happy with their great results.

At this moment, the duo felt like they were only a step away from entering a new dimension of life. The only problem was that this step was separated by a massive chasm.

Still, Cain and Amber weren't in any rush now after making tremendous progress.

"Alright. Let's get out of here and see if we can make it to that Sky Bless City." Cain decided.

The duo then quickly put the Dao Core Traces in their hands and the other cores into Cain's spatial ring.

Taking a glance at Tian Ling coma induced form, Cain decided to simply trap him under a large boulder.

When putting him into a coma, Cain made sure his Qi would only leave Tian Ling within an inch of his life. And instead of outright killing him and alerting his troublesome background, Cain decided to let him slowly die on his own.

This way, they would have already far left the area by the time anyone comes.

Furthermore, Cain and Amber have already swapped their appearance just for that extra precaution.

With everything settled, the duo moved past their man-made cover and flew down towards the cave's entrance.

By the time they reached close, the duo had suddenly slowed down. Their Spirit Sense had detected a group of power merely 50 meters in front of the entrance.

This group only had around three people, but two of them far surpassed Cain's and Amber's prowess.
