The Chaos Dragon Prince

All around the mountain range, more and more clamor arise. 

A small portion was about one Ancient Phoenix genius, while the majority came from the Huang Dragons. 

These Low and Mid-tier Holy Lands and Families were utterly helpless.

In previous Nightmare Realm events, though the possibility was slight, there was a chance for the Ancient Phoenix Holy Land to act ruthless and kill. Such as the case with their current genius leads.

But their kills were in the small minority. 

The actual amount of killing came from the Huang Dragons! 

It was befuddling to everyone. 

Sure, it may be possible for a greater genius to kill another challenger before they admit defeat.

But wasn't this happening far too often? 

It was as if this particular Huang Dragon holds some sort of superior advantage to all of them! 

And as words spread around this certain Huang Dragon, many started to hypothesize just who could this be.

And it wasn't long before realization struck the Low and Mid-tier Holy Lands. 

At the Iron Eagle Sect camp, the Elder who received the news of Miao Yu's death was hit with a sudden realization. 

His Spiritual Sea was continually analyzing the last scene of Miao Yu's shattered life crystals. 

Because of the interference from Heavenly energy, the news had an extended delay in getting translated.

Moreover, the last scenes in the life crystal were faintly blurry. 

However, an Divine Star expert's Spiritual Sea cognitive ability is at least thousands of times greater than a peak Mortal Realm cultivator. 

In just minutes, the Elder was able to clearly identify the exact detail of that Huang Dragon's face. 

A handsome face containing a coldly indifferent expression flashed within the Elder's mind. 

On the outside, the Elder seemingly had no reaction. But internally, he felt a slight quiver from his Soul's Core. 

Those abyss-like eyes could seemingly peer into the depth of any being's very Soul.

The Elder has seen plenty of genius in his time. And yet, there was something immediately particular about this Huang Dragon. 

Moreover, this Huang Dragon looked eerily familiar. 

Memories rapidly went by in the Elder's mind. Soon enough, he had an inkling of just who this Huang Dragon was. 

The Elder's eyes snapped open, glancing back over to the other Elders. 

He calmly spoke up, "I can just barely make out contents before Yu's death. But that face…it is indeed that boy who effortlessly slaughtered him. And if memory serves right, I have an inkling on who might this be."

The other Elders instantly perked up. 

The same kind of light flashed within their eyes as one of them slowly said, "That…it couldn't be the new bounds of rumors circulating around, right? I truly didn't believe at first but now…"

"Indeed. I didn't fully believe it for some time now, either. But…" The Divine Star Elder sighed, shaking his head. "It seems very likely that is the youth whose Martial Talent seemingly surpasses the Holy King Realm. Someone like this is in the Nightmare realm…"

As he spoke, the other Elders felt a cold chill sweep their bodies. 

And not just the Iron Eagle Sects' Elders, many other Holy forces felt a similar ominous sensation.

At this point, Cain's image wasn't as covered up when he first returned home. Because he's getting fully invested by the Imperial Family, it was a unanimous decision to gradually spread his prestige. 

And as of now, the Nightmare Realm opening can be counted as the Martial Talent that surpasses the Holy King Realm, first major outing. 

Something that was a horrifying realization for these smaller Holy Forces.

The only Holy Land not too affected by Cain's sudden emergence was the Ancient Phoenix Holy Lands. 

At the highest mountain terrain, two Ancient Phoenix Elders were carefully listening to the surrounding news.

These two Elders were a beautiful man and woman. They both were luminous bright fiery robes with Phoenix designs inscribed all over them. 

The Elder's expressions were merely dowsed in intrigue.

Curling his brows, the male Elder said, "So the Huang Dragons are making quite the impact, hm? Still, it is a bit noteworthy that one of them can so efficiently kill under all those restrictions."

The female Elder haughtily snorted. "Hmph. He is just really throwing his weight on such trivial forces in the end. No matter what method he's using, I highly doubt he can force any of our own. Let them have this short lapse of victory for now. It'll only make the inevitable much more prominent."

This was the boundless confidence of a high-tier, mid-order Holy Land. No matter the waves, their Martial Heart is as firm as an unmovable star. 

After all, how could just one Huang Dragon who isn't even in the Divine Path of cultivation ever make any real waves among the expansive God Galaxies?

It was a simple fool dream. 

… 

The Nightmare Realm. 

"Haah…" 

A slight breath of fatigue slipped from Cain's mouth. He revolved his Soul energy throughout his internal body, quickly vaporizing the invading chaotic Source Law essence. 

Moments later, Cain's eyes snapped open, his gaze inspecting the two portals in front of him. 

Evidently, he was nowhere near as composed hours ago. 

Without rest, Cain reached right up to the 29th round. His progress was intermixed with killing Law Phantoms and other challengers. 

The farther he progressed, the more troublesome the Law Phantoms developed.

Their strength and Spiritual awareness were reaching points where Cain needed to expand 100% of his full strength for the entire battle. 

After so many battles, even his massive reserves capacity can't keep up.

Cain inwardly analyzed, 'This upcoming round showcases 10 Law Phantoms. If I go in at full power, I will win. But I will need to leave. I will have no Soul energy left. Still, at round 30, I have no need to worry. I can come back.'

Cain made up his mind, his Martial Heart blazing with intense fighting spirit. 

As he put a foot through the portal, a sudden sensation streaked through Cain's mental psyche, prompting him to halt just for a moment.

But the very moment he stopped, the sensation vanished. 

Cain knitted his brows, feeling as if something strange was happening in the background. Almost as if something or someone was specifically watching him.

Although, just who could it be? 

Cain certainly had no idea since nobody here has the power to defy the rules of a Heavenly Venerate's quasi-mystic realm. 

Pushing his mind off from that, Cain continued in the portal.

The next moment, he teleports into a new round containing 10 Law Phantoms! 

The thick killing intent submerged Cain, drowning him in an ocean of powerful auras.

Each Law Phantom appeared the same but exuded waves of powerful Source Law's essence aura. 

Cain's battle instinct was already prepared before walking in the portal; he immediately reacted. 

Amplified Source Law essence gathered into his palms as he clasped them together, causing streams of Soul energy to spew and form into a firm barrier. The Law essence barrier contained a faint green Chaos hue.

At the same time, a large multitude of powerful Source Law essence attacks crashed onto Cain's barrier. 

From Law essence Swords, blades, hammers, spears, and spears, the Law Phantoms used their full strength at the very start.

With loud ear-piercing bangs, sounding like metals violently crashing against each other, the Law essence attacks burst into wisps of white lights. 

Even against 10 simultaneous full-power attacks, Cain's amplified barrier could just barely hold on!

Although, the Law essence barrier was already full of large, spider-web-like cracks. 

Cain paid no attention to the cracks. His left hand struck out, blasting out an amplified Law essence Sword towards one of the Law Phantoms. 

A streak of white and faint green sliced through the air. 

The unsuspecting Law Phantom could only feel the threat of looming death. 

But, it was unable to react. 

Cain's Law essence Sword tore right through its defenses, piercing itself deep into its head.

The Law Phantom immediately burst into wisps of lights. 

The same time that Law Phantom died, another wave of attacks crashed onto Cain's barrier once again. 

This time, Cain's barrier shattered to pieces while also destroying the waves of attacks.

Powerful shockwaves of colluding Source Law essence frantically whirled out. 

The other nine Law Phantom were forced to retreat some distance back. 

While Cain had to bore the full brunt of the Law essence shockwaves. 

Streams of chaotic Law essence drilled into his body, completely breaking through defenses. 

Cain stuffily coughed, a trail of blood leaking from his mouth. The chaotic Law essence was brutal. It sliced all throughout his internal body, to his organs, flesh, and bones.

After all, this was the combined essence of nine powerful Law Phantoms! Their attacks were 10x more powerful than what Cain faced before. 

Any normal humans placed under this condition would already be severely injured.

Thankfully, Cain has the innate defense of a true Dragon! 

He was injured in multiple places in his internal body. But just this alone wasn't nowhere near enough to affect the amount of strength he could display.

A cold light glinted Cain's eyes. He knew he couldn't pick off the Law Phantoms run by one. The situation would become far too severe by then. 

Within a moment, Cain formulated a plan.

Pouring a massive amount of amplified Source Law essence into his legs, Cain crouched before jumping high into the skies. 

He was like a missile tearing straight through the remnant Law essence shockwaves. 

Once high in the air, Cain poured out all of his power once again. This time, he used a significantly higher amount of his Soul energy reserves, causing more pronounced green Chaos light to shimmer out of his body.

A gorgeous Chaos aura shrouded around Cain. 

At that moment, Cain kept his palm flat downward as he blasted out a massive wave of pure amplified Law essence! 

The wave of Law essence crashed down like an oceanic tidal wave, rapidly filling the ground, soaring straight at the nine Law Phantoms.

Six of the Law Phantoms weren't able to react. They were drowned by the oceanic Law essence wave, instantly bursting into white lights. 

While three other Law Phantoms similarly jumped high into the air. 

'Haaah, with this, I only have 20% of Soul energy reserves left-hm?!' Cain couldn't continue thinking when a sense of crisis struck his mind. 

He only instinctively reacted, forming a Law essence barrier.

Cain was struck out of the air by a sneaky Law Phantom attack. His barrier shattered on impact, invading Law's essence recklessly tore through his internal body. 

As he roughly slammed onto the ground, Cain violently hacked up blood, feeling his organs painfully shift and several of his bones crack all over. 

Cain, however, didn't pay attention to his injuries.

He rebounded from the ground within a split moment, standing tall and firm as he waved his hand towards the air-born Law Phantom. 

A Law essence Sword sailed out at lightning speed, striking the air-born Law Phantom and instantly killing it.

At the same time, the last two Law Phantom frantically rushed Cain down. Their hands carried long Law essence blades as they precisely aimed at Cain's vital points. 

In response, Cain was eerily calmed. He waited until the Law Phantoms were only ten meters away from him. 

And it was finally then that he erupted with his full strength! 

He was using the last bit of his Soul energy reserved capacity!

With a roaring battle cry that sounded like the screech from a true Dragon, Cain blasted out a Law essence Chain from both his palms. 

The Law essence Chains took the Law Phantoms by surprise.

Not only the Chains were quick, but they also contained the highest concentrated piercing power! 

With an audible puff, the Law Phantoms were pierced through their heads, exploding into wisps of white lights.
