The Chaos Dragon Prince

Right at that moment, a faint pulsation of space essence energy rippled through space. The specific principles of space alerted everyone in the area. 

"What?!?" The crowd below straight crashed to their knees. 

Elders alike nearly had their jaws dropped to the ground. Even the supreme Heavenly Venerates' eyes widened to an absolute extreme. 

Cain, Kali, and Luo Na, cultivators that should be suppressed under the Heavenly Venerate realm, especially now that powerful Venerates were standing above them all, completely shrouded in this gray space essence. 

Everything about this should be completely impossible. Even the weakest of Venerate Dao principles will be able to completely suppress all lower cultivators to the point where they can't even think properly. 

Wanting to use any items when suppressed by a Heavenly Venerate is impossible. 

All of this means that the trio somehow managed to not only escape the grasping might of a Heavenly Venerate but also teleport without anyone's divine senses detecting them! 

So many questions ran through their minds. But now wasn't the time. 

Ancestor Jue clenched his fists when spotting the faint Dao runes swirling within the space essence. He instantly identified this space technique. 

"Damn it! Stop!" Ancestor Jue directed his Dao Palm to stop the trio from using the escaping technique. 

An unfathomable suction force blasted out of the Dao Palm, attempting to seal the region of space for miles. It was extremely quick, slightly faster than light speed. 

However, Cain made instant preparations. 

The very moment the Dao Palm unleashed its suction force, the talisman was already linked into a space-time tunnel. The space essence instantly teleported them into the void space, going through the space-time tunnel at speeds far faster than what Ancestor Jue could respond to in a split second. 

"No!" Ancestor Jue roared. His divine sense expanded out at light speed, stretching to cover thousands of miles in only a second. 

He was thorough in his search. But to his dismay, Cain, Kali, and Luo Na's faint auras were completely gone. 

A strange silence suddenly engulfed the entire world. 

Two Holy Kings and one Primal Sovereign faced off with Peak Perfection Heavenly Venerates. And instead of getting instantly captured, Cain, Kali, and Luo Na phased right through Venerate Dao principles, effortlessly escaping the supreme ancestors' wrath! 

Can this even just be called genius territory? 

To be able to face the might of the older generation unscathed, not a single heroic genius in history can ever say they had made that kind of tale! 

At that moment, before anything else happened, Ancestor Xian's voice boomed out for thousands of miles. "Cain, Kali, and Luo Na are sworn enemies of the Ancestral Star Region. Anyone who can hunt them down and capture them shall be rewarded with gifts of Heavenly Venerates!" 

'Venerate Gifts!' That forcibly shocked everyone out of their drunken stupor. 

People from lower sects' eyes shined with immense greed. 

The wealth of any Heavenly Venerate is unimaginable. They needed such wealth to even get into the Heavenly Venerate realm in the first place. Now faced with the chance to gain wealth from Heavenly Venerates of a master tier force, even those on the lower end of the Top Seven Sects were extremely tempted. 

Ancestor Jue, Ancestor Chen, Ancestor Kie, Master Dong, and Elder Suo only looked on with blank expressions. Nobody can possibly tell what any of them were thinking. 

Elder Suo internally sighs, simply wondering, 'What will happen to our Heaven with those three on the loose?' 

... 

In the next two days, chaos completely erupted across the Ancestral Star Region. Many, Primal Sovereigns and Heavenly Venerates alike were searching for the greatest criminals that completely disturbed the entire region. 

Cain, Kali, and Luo Na gained immense notoriety. They were now known as demons with insane amounts of power that needed to be brought in for good. 

It was noted that when trying to capture them, groups were advised since the trio managed to slaughter the three Supreme Monarchs of the main city. 

Truthfully, many were quite confident in at least seeking out the trio. There were numerous special kinds of cultivation arts used to track anyone down, even if they only had the tiniest of information to go off on. 

Even old Wisdom Path masters joined in on the hunt, hoping to gain the sweet rewards from the Lightning-Destruction Sect, Soul Spear, Space Fire, and the Boundless Sword Sect. 

But what many thought would be an intense search with the trio constantly on the run, proved to be a near futile effort to look for the trio! 

No matter what tracking art was used, no matter how unfathomable the Wisdom Path master was, everything ended in the same dead-end results. 

It truly was like Cain, Kali, and Luo Na had vanished from the entire face of the Heavens. 

Naturally, for the top three sects, that only increased their fervor in seeking out the trio. There was no point in continuing the feud with Lightning-Destruction since all they really wanted was the trio. 

Like this, the search for the trio increased in its intensity with each passing day. All of them were completely unaware of the very special guests their region would soon come. 

...

A day in a half passed by in a flash. 

The state of the outside was chaotic. But there were many moving events within the Lightning-Destruction Sect. 

During this chaos concerning Cain's group, nobody really paid that much attention to the Supreme Emperor geniuses. These geniuses who commanded the heavens seemingly faded into obscurity when now faced with geniuses who have the means to escape the clutches of Heavenly Venerates. 

Nobody could care even the slightest about the antics Hian, Guo, or Kuo were up to. 

It was at this time that Hian was somewhere far away from his faction area. He ventured deep into a realm containing nothing but a large wasteland. 

The source of essence energy and the Great Dao was thin compared to the outside world. The dull dreariness of the area would even eat away at the fortified minds of divine cultivators. Nobody but disciples who committed heinous deeds would be placed here. 

This realm was exactly where Hian ended up. 

Hian took a step through the void space, instantly appearing in front of a small cave. He strolled right inside the cave, walking until he eventually saw a lone figure silently cultivating up against the gray wall. 

This lone figure had seen better days. His skin was a bit paler than a healthy complexion, wrinkles appeared on random spots on his face, and a lethargic aura mixed with his regular divine aura. 

These years, stuck in this prison, did quite a number on the once majestic Emperor Guo. 

Guo slowly opened his eyes when Hian approached close. Faint confusion flashed on his face. His slight horse voice asked, "You...just what could be so possibly important that you needed to see me in person? Shouldn't you be worried like all the others about those three demons?" 

The courage within Guo's voice when he mentioned the trio was all but shattered. Not a single bone in his body ever wanted to go against them unless he had a way to completely remove them forever. 

In direct contrast to Guo's melancholy, Huo faintly smiled. "Hey, don't shoot me down just yet. Those connections you built up in Yan's family may just come in useful for all of us. Basically, long story short, Yan Kui is secretly helping those three escape directly to the Core Region unnoticed by everyone else."

"Hm?!" Guo suddenly sat up straight. His unfocused eyes cleared up, narrowing on to Hian for any sign of a lie. 

He slowly said, "Just where have you heard this? And why come to me instead of the elders?" 

"I got this from the boy named Lian who got this information from that girl Yui. She's been working for Lian all this time while posing as Yan Kui's close friend. As for why I came to you, well, obviously, you managed to successfully set up your spies in the Yan family long before those three came to cause chaos. And if I were to notify the elders, it's very likely those three would have first-hand knowledge of it and plan around it. If we want to eliminate those three for good, we'll need to strike hard and fast without any noise." Hian confidently spoke. He wasn't even considering the possibility of failure. 

The same could not be said for Guo. His mind swirled as he said, "Killing them...do you think that's even possible? If we were to fail and this somehow gets linked back to us...the consequences will be unimaginable."
