The Chaos Dragon Prince

Simply saying that Yan Kui had a shift in emotion seemed so minor. But this Yan Kui was anything but minor. She can calmly face the supreme Heavenly Venerates of their sect without so much breaking a sweat. 

There was times Emperor Hian could directly recall Yan Kui directly facing both him and Guo without a care in the world. 

Yan Kui, a supreme genius losing their confidence and seriously contemplating something certainly meant something critical was sure to occur. 

'Alright. I will call back.' Hian swiftly ended the call. 

He then picked up another contact ring, flowing his soul energy inside to connect with a person most other Emperor Grandmasters wouldn't spare a passing glance. 

'Ah! Emperor Hian! Is there anything you need me to do?' The one speaking was King Lang. 

The same King Lang who appeared to be fraught with terror when Cain's group showcased their prowess. 

Hian directly got the point. 'Has there been any news from the Soul Core Region? You are certain that Empress Soaring Roc is from there, correct?' 

'Yes, emperor. My sources directly line Empress Soaring Roc to Xuegang of the Heavenly Space Ripple sect. And as for any recent news...well, I checked in earlier today and there wasn't anything. Why? Has something occurred with Cain and the other ones?' King Lang curiously asked.

'No. Nothing yet. But I have a good feeling something immense is about to occur. And when it does happen, I want you to give me the direct news about of any changes not available to the public.' Hian directly ordered. 

With King Lang promptly agreeing, the call ended. 

Hian was now alone with his thoughts. For the past five years, he threw himself into hardcore cultivation. 

The humiliating defeat by the hands of Cain never left his soul. It was tremendously difficult to recover his lost blood essence and repair the damage to his Inner World. Costing him a tremendous sum that went directly out of his own personal resources. 

To say that Hian felt resentment would be an understatement. 

In the brutal competition for the Great Dao, where resources are limited and the arrogance is high, geniuses ending their feuds in death battles were quite common. 

If both parties just never take that step forward to build the relationship after having their fight, only a sense of cold would remain between each other. 

Hian knew he would never be able to directly kill Cain or either Kali or Luo Na in his life. But he certainly wouldn't mind if other forces could do it. 

The sheer thought of their lives ending brought a small smile to his lips. 

...

Numerous miles away from the Inner Ridge. Pass through a realm separating the borders. 

When crossing through this realm, an entirely new world would be presented to anyone. A world brighter than the Inner Ridge, filled with the extravagant hope of being bathed in the warm essence of the Great Dao. 

The sensation of feeling the Great Dao was extremely intense, dozens of times greater than the best spot of the Inner Ridge. 

A mere simple inhale can grant any mortal the ability to cultivate while cleansing their impure bodies. 

It was nearly impossible to tell how long this region extends. Even saying it is the size of a great star would be an understatement. 

This extravagant area was the very Soul Core Region. The strongest region within the Soul God World!

Today was just like any other day in the Soul Core Region. The highest geniuses of the Heaven were taking care of their businesses. Elders alike were carefully guiding the new heaven-defying talents of this generation. Nothing looked to be out of the sort. 

Within the most powerful city of the Soul Core Region, there were four grand estates, each of them taking up the size of divine continents. 

Radiant lights of the Great Dao beautifully swirled out of each estate. Every glimmering shine spoke to anyone's soul, not a single person would be able to resist an enrapturing beauty as if they were peering into the lights of God. 

These four grand estates were the Grand Four Sects of the Soul God World, Divine Frost Time, Supreme Soul Void, Heavenly Space Ripple, and the Grand Celestial Sword sect. 

These behemoths of powerhouses would rarely, if ever experience any massive turmoil. 

It was at this time, within the Divine Frost Time sect, an ordinary meeting between the supreme figures was occurring in a grand chamber. 

Every supreme cultivator here was all existence standing above the entire divine world. The simplest breath out of them can freeze the stars, encasing them in unbreakable ice no matter how high in space they are. 

A blink of their eyes can instantly decide the life and death of thousands of other powerful Heavenly Venerates. 

These were the Perfection Heavenly Venerate supremes of the sect. 

Sitting at the front helm of the table was the Heavenly Venerate who exuded the most powerful sensation of the Venerate Dao. 

He would be the greatest figure there. If not for another person silently sitting in a corner completely secluded from everyone else. 

Strangely enough, this person, compared to the domineering Heavenly Venerates, barely held a presence. He didn't even seem to be a part of this world, practically teetering on the edge of invisibility. 

No presence or Dao aura came from this man. And yet, this figure's very being would instantly force mortal cultivators, divine cultivators, Primal Sovereigns, and even Perfection Heavenly Venerates to this very man. 

This was not just some supreme figure. No. But an actual God who was gracing himself into the divine world. 

As per usual, the Heavenly Venerates were discussing the progress of their disciples. 

The leader at the front of the table held a glowing smile when saying, "By this time, or maybe a little bit more, Junior Pao should be returning with the best results. No matter how much the sword cultivators claim to be able to pierce throughout Frost Time, Junior Pao already demonstrated suppressing that Tang Xiang is a simple task." 

"Haha!! When the inheritance, it's practically in Junior Pao's hands already!" Another Supreme Elder confidently bolstered. 

The feeling of elation was quite high for these Heavenly Venerates. Despite being in fierce competition, they already believed this generation would be their supreme rise.

However, right at this moment, the Heavenly Venerate suddenly froze. Their expressions went wide-eyed, feeling an unfathomable force suppressing their entire beings! 

"Ah!" The Demi-God sitting alone eyes suddenly flung open, the aura of his faint Godly Dao rippling out to suppress an entire Galaxy. 

The air gained ice crystals chuck, space continually froze over, expanding to what it seems like it was going to cover the entire divine world. 

"An-ancestor..." The other Heavenly Venerates could only beg out a trembling voice. 

The immense difference between any Heavenly Venerate and a Demi-God was nightmarish. A difference of just a half-step can grant anyone such a tremendous leap of Dao Power. 

At that moment, the ice suddenly stopped before vanishing into tiny particles. 

The Demi-God managed to recall his surging Dao aura but the deathly cold expression remained on his face. Staring into the Demi-God's face will definitely kill any Primal Sovereign expert, leaving them as nothing more than shattered ice. 

The Demi-God didn't even look at the Heavenly Venerates. His voice shattered space as he said, "Junior Pao and his entire team have been killed! The violent demon who dares to commit such a vile crime will be judged!" 

'Chi!' 

A radiant icy blue flash glimmered straight out of the Demi-God's body. The ice flash expanded out at light speed, engulfing the entire Divine Frost Time Sect and even stretching out into the main city. 

"Killed?!?" The Heavenly Venerates completely shook as if an earthquake streaked through their bodies. 

The icy flash from the Demi-God carried his unfathomable wave of killing intent. But the Heavenly Venerates also felt an instant surge of their own world-shattering killing intent. 

Their highest geniuses were actually dared to be killed! 

"Death is the only outcome for that vile demon!" 

The Heavenly Venerates simultaneously roared, sparks of their Dao auras still shimmering within the ice flash.

At this time, in the main city, there was a moment of peace. 

But right in the next moment, bright brilliant flashes exploded out of three Grand Sects, blasting up high into the heavens as a godly beacon of lights! 

"Ahh?!?" 

Many across the entire city unleashed horrified screeches as an unfathomable force suppressed them all to their knees. 

Lower beings like them could kneel within these flashes. 

Even Heavenly Venerates had to directly kneel down with their heads smashing to their floor.
