What was beyond this wall was everything Yulong needed. Her voice sounded eager as she said, "Guys, I think I found it. The end of the starry maze. It's beyond this wall. In fact..."
Anything Yulong has her mind set on, she'll pursue based on her gut reactions. Hesitation rarely will stall her mind. She knew that when action is needed, there wasn't any reason to ponder every single possibility.
Without waiting for anyone else reaction, Yulong leaped right toward the dead-end wall!
"He-wha?"
The others were initially bewildered, but instantly a moment later, their eyes went wide. No body smashing into a concrete wall sounded out.
Yulong wasn't stopped by the dead-end wall. It was as if there was nothing there in the first place. She directly phased right through the wall!
Stunned into silence, the others narrowed their eyes in suspicion. None of them instantly followed in Yulong's footsteps, each of them attempting to make sense of just what the hell had happened.
However, before they could, five streams of darkness essence spewed out from the dead-end wall.
These essences slowly slithered out, moving distinctively, as if they wanted to entice the others.
Xu Tao, Hu Wen, Jin Ya, Amber, and Lan Rui nearly jumped before immediately identifying the sensation of the darkness essence.
It contained the exact signature of Yulong's life aura!
The darkness essence even started to beckon the group forward. Even without her being there, Yulong's mannerism was perfectly replicated.
Subconsciously placing their trust in Yulong, the group had already unknowingly grasped the darkness tendrils.
The results were instant. They all were pulled directly into the dead-end wall!
"Ah!"
Xu Tao, Hu Wen, and even Lan Rui all let out surprised yelps. The whole group experienced the turbulent sensation of space twist and pulling around them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe very next moment, space returned to normal as the group was instantly teleported.
Before anyone of them had even opened their eyes, an overwhelming presence engulfed each and every one of them!
This was power, celestial power none of them could ever match up to! Numerous mortal continents would shatter to ashes, the sky would directly split into two halves, and the heavens themselves would want to incinerate this energy surpassing common sense.
All of it radiated from an otherworldly presence.
This person certainly stood at the very top of the world. A supreme emperor that could judge all those across the entire God Galaxy!
This kind of soul-stopping presence lasted for only a second. It soon reserved itself, as if it wanted its subjects to breathe and relax.
Xu Tao, Hu Wen, Jin Ya, and Amber all slowly open their eyes. They, along with Yulong, watched a bewildering sight.
A domineering youth, shrouded in blinding lightning-ice energy aura, had a glistening black sword thrust straight in another extreme genius.
This Divine Decree Lord radiated luminous purple lights beneath his feet. Every single principle from these purple lights should have exuded the extreme power of a Dao Origin.
This was the ultimate power containing the depths of a late stage Divine Ruler genius. Its oppressive might would be a mountain of pressure to any and lower stage Divine Rulers.
Even peak geniuses like Lord Chan and Lord Chen would need to treat the extreme power with some caution.
However, while under the lightning-ice youth's black sword, the Divine Decree Lord was completely suppressed!
His eyes spewed out a complicated mix of intense fear and endless hatred. Without any option, the Divine Decree Lord surged a mystical source of energy from the depths of his soul.
Black Law lights instantly teleported the lightning-ice youth away while also tearing open the Void Space.
"Cloudsea Lee!!"
With words containing boundless killing intent, insidious enough to reap the lives of numerous Divine Star cultivators, the black light hurled into the Void Space, instantly teleporting the Divine Decree Lord out of the Starr Earth Realm.
With the dust settled, the lightning-ice youth recalled his powers. Naturally, the only person who can dominate a Divine Decree Lord like a pathetic ant was Cain.
A pleased smile crossed Cain's lips. He quickly walked over to the bewildered group of Amber and his friends, joyfully saying, "So, you all had finally made it! With such a long wait, I'm glad all of you managed to come here intact."
For a moment, Amber's group wasn't able to formulate a response.
Yulong took a glance over the royal chamber and then at Lord Chen and Lord Chao, noting their slightly weary expressions against Cain.
She paused, her eyes lighting up like a star. "Ah! So you really went out of your way for us, huh? I can only imagine the number of hatred you collected over making these lords scramble away like ants."
As Yulong quickly understood Cain's actions, so did everyone else.
Everyone was keenly aware that there were no rules prohibiting competitors from fighting each other before the star platform activation. Everything was fair game.
However, what kind of Divine Decree Lord would waste their valuable strength in an attempt to suppress other Divine Decree Lords?
Even Lord Chen and Lord Chao didn't want to waste their time suppressing far weaker foes like Wen Shao. And it was a wonder if they could even force him on the verge of death and get him to teleport out.
Cain, however, could easily achieve such a feat with a flip of his hand.
Since the number of people that can enter the star platform is only 25, Xu Tao, Hu Wen, Jin Ya, Lan Rui, and Yulong were all highly grateful and in admiration of Cain.
While Amber casually nodded, as if she had expected no less. "I would have been more surprised if there were more Divine Decree Lords around. I bet this was just a simple stretch for you." She spoke with an amused smile.
While Yulong went over and directly clapped down on Cain's shoulder, her lips widely smiling. "Something so casual really helped us a lot! We can only make this up by doing our absolute best on the star platform."
"That only goes without saying." Jin Ya solemnly nodded. Along with Xu Tao, Hu Wen, and Lan Rui, they all expressed their thanks.
While Cain merely had a faint smile. He told them all, "Now there we're all here, let's focus up. The star platform is where our true goal lies. Everything else was just the appetizer..."
As Cain's group discussed among themselves, Lord Chen and Lord Chao's eyes glinted for a moment.
Lord Chen was the first to use a sound transmission. 'The amount of Lords he pushed out nearly numbers into the double-digits. Every single one of them comes from a decently powerful background. At the very least, some of them can be counted in the same breath as Cloudsea Holy Land.'
At this, his smile turned a bit malicious. 'I wonder...just how will Cloudsea be able to bear with multiple pressure.'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLord Chao's eyes flickered with thought. He didn't appear as optimistic about Cain's future trouble. 'Truthfully, I'm not sure much will come from this. There's no Divine Decree Lord here with even a background of a Quasi-Heavenly Great World. Without several Heavenly Venerate powerhouses, how could any sect make Cloudsea feel pressure? Plus...I had also heard worrying things about Cloudsea's Supreme Elder Xi...'
That caused Lord Chen to slightly freeze in place. Whatever maliciousness on his face completely dispersed.
He, along with Lord Chao, instead chose to focus on themselves, as potential problems for Cain seemed very light, to non-existent.
Although, in the depths of Lord Chao's mind, he couldn't help but think, 'If it was master, can he do something about them?'
...
Outside of the Starry Earth Realm.
At this time, a rising commotion was sweeping through the endless desert.
Black Law light flashes were tearing open the Void Space. From these black Law lights were pale faces of Divine Decree Lords.
Every Divine Decree Lord that had shown up blazed with an endless amount of hatred. The killing intent within their hearts was fully ignited, burning with an intense ferocity that could engulf the core of a sun!
One of these Divine Decree Lords had just been expelled from the Starry Earth Realm. He belonged to the Purple Radiance Holy Land, along with Lord Yue.
When this Divine Decree Lord appeared alongside his Supreme Elder protector and Lord Yue, his hands violently dug into his palm. His fingernails tear through his flesh, blood slowly dripped as he gnashed his teeth.
"That damn Cloudsea Lee! Does he really think this whole universe revolves around him?! Fuck!"
He nearly spat out blood from intense anger and shame. The humiliation of having to scram like a pathetic dog could never be washed away.
At this time, Lord Yue, with an equal amount of hatred, slowly spoke up. "Martial brother Tie, we need to calm ourselves. Giving into anger can't do anything now. But...with how much that damn Lee is inciting everyone's anger, I'm sure the Supreme Elders won't simply let this slide."
Lord Tie's eyes suddenly gained some vigor. He looked up at his Supreme Elder, expecting to see a faint trace of a volatile emotion.
However, all he got was a placid expression. Their Supreme Elder kept a tranquil gaze as he stared at a certain figure within the endless desert.
Lord Tie slightly hesitated, but still asked in the end, "Elder Xiao...that Cloudsea Lee is far too domineering. He ruined many chances to even participate on the starry platform. This won't just be left unturned, right?"
Elder Xiao didn't promptly reply. Glowing lights briefly sparked in his eyes. Taking a moment, he slowly said, "Wait, and you will see our current answer."
