The Chaos Dragon Prince

In the Atlas Realm, Sky Bless City.

Thousands of miles away from Cloudsea Holy Land was another high-tier Holy Land. They were their direct rivals, the Fire Star Holy Land.

Deep within the Fire Star Holy Land was an area nearly the same as Cloudsea's direct disciples' living quarters.

Inside one of the royal houses, two distinct young men cultivated within a fiery atmosphere.

The surrounding courtyard sizzled, and sparks of flames appeared on numerous trees and plants. However, strangely enough, nothing was burning to ashes.

One of the young men had very pale skin. But also, at several parts of his skin, was charred flesh. It made for any unusual combination. The presence of this pale skin man was completely terrifying. Most Divine Rulers would pale in comparison to him!

Even Cloudsea's direct disciples would fall to their knees by just being in his general area. Their skins would scorch and their protective Divine Aura would melt away.

This pale skin man had rightfully complete confidence plastering his face. As if no news in the world can disturb him. But suddenly, the confident man's slightly furrowed his brows.

He slowly muttered out loud, "Mn? To think Cloudsea really was hiding some great talents. That Ice fellow didn't stand a chance."

At the confident man's side was a direct disciple of the Fire Star Holy Land.

But despite being a Divine Ruler genius, the direct disciples were completely respectful and in reverence to the pale skin man.

The direct disciple held a slightly puzzled expression. "New great talents? Last I checked, those direct disciples were only at the Early Divine Ruler level. None of them have even reached the peak. Just who can actually kill the Ice being?"

"Unclear. The Ice fellow's soul was overpowered and suppressed by his enemy's energy principles. I couldn't even tell their cultivation base. All I can say for sure is that some changes may be on the horizon." The pale skin man casually spoke.

He certainly wouldn't underestimate a powerhouse that can kill a peak Mid Divine Ruler. That also means their Laws can prevent that peak Mid Divine Ruler from escaping through the Void!

Their Law comprehension is undoubtedly high. However, the pale skin man still held an undeniable amount of confidence towards whoever this mysterious foe is.

The direct disciple sorted through information in his mind until he suddenly recalled one strange piece of news. "The only famous new talent that joined Cloudsea recently were two Great Divine Sea warriors known as Lee and Xun. Their battle recoding ring showed them as superior to peak stage Divine Star warriors."

"Hoh? The Emperor Tier geniuses, huh?" The pale skin man softly snorted. "They are quite intriguing, but I highly doubt they're the one. Some geniuses can't even cultivate to the Divine Ruler realm within a hundred thousand years, much less those two not even in the Divine Star realm. This is not too big of an event, anyway. Whoever killed the Ice fellow will show up at the Blessed King's inheritance, and by that time, I'll act accordingly. We just need to continue our preparation for now."

"Right, Senior Martial brother." The direct disciple nodded. His faith in the pale skin man was unbreakable. But there was something that would've shocked the direct disciple to his core if he knew.

'The brief sensation from his soul...why does it feel so unfathomable?' The pale skin man could indeed admit that sensing the 'Ice Fellow' death made his soul quiver in suppression!

No matter how self-confident he is, a mysterious foe like this can't be ignored.

...

The Ancient Ice Wither World.

Within the jewel cave, Cain's team had just finished recovering. Their medicine was all saint quality. As long as anyone of them doesn't die or suffer a crippling injury to their cultivation, the medicine they have would be able to push them to a full recovery in no time.

Well rested and at full power, Cain's team set off again.

This time, Cain wasn't in such a huge rush to explore dangerous areas or get close to powerful beasts. He already achieved everything he needed because of the Ice Phoenix.

Still, for the sake of his other teammates, Cain patrolled around for other resources cavern.

He didn't dare set foot in the 2nd layer again, so Cain's team easily traveled all throughout the 1st layer region.

No trouble had disturbed Cain's team. In the 1st layer, besides Yulong, everyone could efficiently display their prowess. There wasn't even another peak Early Stage Divine Ruler like the Ice Golem.

Though, with less danger, there weren't as many resources cove Cain's team could find. They only managed to find a few other special resources.

After hours of carefully traveling, Cain decided there was no point in continuing further. He stopped at a secluded area and took out a teleportation array disk. "The only real treasure we'll get is in the 2nd layer. But with random Primal Soveirgn beasts and higher stages Divine Ruler, we'll only be walking into our deaths. Anyone else disagrees?"

"None over here. Just seeing you all fight got my Spiritual Sea stimulated. If I got into close-door training, I have a high chance of drawing upon inspirations." Yulong happily stated.

Neither Amber, Lan Rui, nor Lin Zui had any disagreements.

Cain then poured soul energy into the teleportation array disk. Dao energy principles rippled out.

Space and time were ripped apart. A red light shrouded Cain's team. This red light filled with space and time-breaking Dao energy principles broke into the Void Space and carried Cain's team at speeds far beyond light.

...

In what felt like only a few seconds at best, Cain's team suddenly felt the sensation of space stabilize. Their eyes opened to see Elder Xi meditating in midair just a few meters away from them.

Her figure seemed perfectly one with nature. The beauty of both Elder Xi's small garden world and her soul-pulling presence made for a breathtaking scene.

Even Cain felt a bit dazed, much less his other teammates.

In that moment, Elder Xi slowly opened her eyes. She smilingly nodded. "To come back with only a few scratches. Did you all have come across a good harvest?"

"Indeed, master. We all have gained quite a lot from this trip and I and Xun will be heading to close-door seclusion immediately." Cain respectfully reported.

"Mn. Go on. I am curious to see your new results." With that, Elder Xi closed her eyes.

Turning around to the others while Amber stood at her side, Cain told the girls, "I'm not sure how long this seclusion will take, but I will contact you both soon when it's over."

"Ah. It'll be a bit lonely, but I wish you two luck!" Yulong happily encouraged one.

While Lan Rui nodded with determination, "Mn. I also want to go into seclusion after this trip. I trust you will succeed."

With one last nod, Cain and Amber turn into streams of lights that tore off towards the skies.

Lan Rui, Yulong, and Lin Zui, whose been quiet all this time, similarly flew off into their own residence.

Silence returned to the small garden world.

Elder Xi briefly turned her head specifically in the direction where Cain and Amber flew off too. The strange premonition in her soul only grew stronger after this trip.

...

Cain was quite eager as he returned to his house's courtyard. Even Amber felt anticipation for the new qualitative transformation soon coming to Cain's cultivation.

Before doing anything, Cain cast Chaotic Concealment over the entire courtyard. His tone was quite serious as he said, "Just to be sure. I'd rather this fusion process be completely unknown at all costs."

"It'll be amusing to see even supreme Primal Soverigen grandmaster scratch their heads on how domineering your ice will be, just like your lightning." Amber giggled.

Clenching his palm, green Chaos lights surged and the Chaotic Emerald made its appearance. Only green lights filled with endless mysteries could be seen when Amber peered into the Chaotic Emerald.

While Cain's vision could directly pierce deep into the Chaotic Emerald. A small spark of blue shimmered within the green lights. The blue spark took on a vague outline. Even this vague outline would shock weaker cultivators to the core.

It was the shape of the Immeriorial Ice Phoenix!

Under normal times, the Immeriorial Ice Phoenix would exude unfathomable nobility and great arrogance. Disdaining the whole universe fits in line with its royal lineage.

However, within Chaos energy, the Ice Phoenix appeared listless. No semblance of consciousness was left. Its entire being was engulfed by the profound mysteries of Chaos energy. Nothing, not even an Immemorial creature from legendary times, can resist Chaos energy principles.

Cain calmed himself, focusing into his best condition. Soul energy poured into the Chaotic Emerald. Penetrating deep into the Ice Phoenix's blood essence, a terrifying freezing sensation whirled through Cain's entire body.

His hands radiated with icy lights. Specks of ice flashed across his body. A frosty mist slowly emerged out of Cain.

The freezing cold sensations were certainly potent, but not at a deadly level.

Since being stuffed into the Chaotic Emerald, Chaos energy had already purified every bit of the Ice Phoenix's destructive force.

Chaos energy practically had a will on its own. The principles within it made sure that it could perfectly fuse into Cain's and Amber's bodies.

Cain experienced cold before, but this freeze made him furrow his brows slightly. Maintaining focus, he turned to Amber and told her, "Get ready."

Amber promptly assimilated into a meditative state. Once she has done so, a stream of blue light whirled out of the Chaotic Emerald.

Cain precisely controlled the flow. The small portion of the Ice Phoenix's blood essence was absorbed straight into Amber's body.

A flash of blue shrouded Amber's body. She nearly jolted up. 'So cold!'

The coldness penetrated deep into her bones! But before anything major could happen, green lights bubbled out of Amber's bloodstream.

These green lights all exuded an unfathomable sensation. The princples of geniune Chaos energy!
