The Chaos Dragon Prince

"How disrespectful! To not only directly address the Saint Heros, but to also not bow in his presence when giving your demons a path of salvation? There really are more of you demons that lacked any proper etiquette!" Elder Qin coldly spat out to the masked trio. He stood right back up, his gaze overflowing with disdain as he peered down at not two Holy King cultivators and a Primal Soverigen, but three pathetic ants not knowing the immensity of the heavens. He would have already rid the trio with a thought if not for Saint Hero Kong's presence. The only one calm about the situation was Saint Hero Kong. His smile caused the sky to shine as he raised a hand to stop anything unexpected from happening. When he moved, all the others had to listen. In his same soothing tone, Saint Hero Kong said, "Calm down. I actually appreciate those eager and courageous to seek out new opportunities. And indeed, I can be called important to the Duke Palace. I am the 10th Saint Hero of the Duke's Palace, Saint Hero Kong. One of many who are trying to lead us cultivators to be better, to lead us all down a good life." His natural charms had a hypnotic effect on everyone else. It felt simple to believe in his words. Even Elde Qin nodded with pride at Saint Hero Kong. At times like this, Cain would be inclined to not give a damn about some righteous spiel. But he had a goal in mind, furthermore, hearing talks like this made him more exasperated than arrogant elders and geniuses. "What bullshit. Better people? Good lives? All just sayings to keep the mind down one direction, but using buttery words and a nice tone makes people ignore it." Eyes continue to widen at Cain's blatant disrespect. Saint Hero Kong took it in stride, speaking up before anyone else could say anything. "Is it not nice to have a community? Are we not more than vicious Dao beasts savagely killing each other with no regard for anything else? We must not forget our human connections no matter how high our cultivation becomes." "Hahah!" Kali's wild laugh cut into the conversation. "I never gave a shit about any of that. Anyone who gets in my will be killed without mercy! And it works pretty well for me so far." "You..." Saint Hero Kong's expression slightly faltered, his smile straining with his brows furrowing at Kali's more wild way of talking. Elder Qin and the Council Elders almost just had enough of the masked trio's great disrespect. But Cain struck while the iron was hit, instantly picking up on where Saint Hero Kong trailed off from. He bluntly said, "Look. I don't like to waste time. We will do that church trial in exchange that you ensure us an important spot in the Duke's Palace." Silence. Complete and utter silence filled the entire world with Cain's outlandish words. The Heavenly Venerates' eyes widened to an unfathomable degree with such an outrageous request. Joining the Duke's Palace? Not a single person across Basilisk City would dare to even dream about it! Much less them, the Council Elders were more than aware the talent requirement was extremely strict. Even genius Primal Sovereigns under King Grandmasters in Master Tier sects can only become an average disciple in one of the Duke's Palace branch sects.

The Saint Heroes exist on a completely different tier. The ancient Elders know that all of them are comparable to the top-tier talents at the center of the Soul Core Region. Just how can this masked trio dare to ask for the same spot when knowing all of this?

Elder Qin and Saint Hero Kong were utterly dumbfounded. Their next actions were certainly not going to be pretty. However, before anyone could do anything, Cain took a step forward. Chaos energy instantly brought him and the girls through space, teleporting to be at the same height as Saint Hero Kong. "You-" Saint Hero Kong slightly jumped, surprised that he couldn't detect any essence energy flowing out of Cain from his movement. But just moving was the first step.

'Chi!' Radiant divine lights expanding across the entire sky created a majestic spectacle all Heavenly Venerates became completely slack jaw over. Rippling law principles spewed across the atmosphere, directly clashing against Saint Hero Kong's Dao aura. These law principles weren't swallowed by his Venerate Dao aura. Instead, Saint Hero Kong felt genuine resistance in spreading his Dao aura, as if he truly met a wall he couldn't force past! Waves of unfathomable auras filled the entire Basilisk City. Two Holy King auras and just one Primal Sovereign aura exuded an intense law force weaker Early Stage Heavenly Venerate felt extreme pressure by. 'This...' All looked on in increasing awe. The three black masked trio underwent a divine transformation. One of the women glistened with hypnotic white Dao lights while the other woman's body had glittering ice Dao lights sparkling around. The only man in the group had sparse arcs of divine lightning constantly flashing around his body. The momentum that stole the world exuding from Saint Hero Kong had completely shattered into pieces. Three more auras matching the intensity of Early Stage Heavenly Venerates changed everything! "You-who are you three?!" Elder Qin frantically shouted. He, a Perfect Stage Heavenly Venerate had great awareness of all news spreading across the Soul Core Region. He heard of numerous terrifying geniuses' names, titles, and their glorious feats. And yet, not a single one of them he heard about were terrifying figures that could face Heavenly Venerates without crossing their Dao tribulations! He recently checked his news sources just to have an updated awareness of everything, but nothing new had come out. "You..." Saint Hero Kong gripped his fist. All of his confidence and gentle expression died in the wind. His only option was to stay focused on these mysterious talents that seemingly appeared out of thin air. He continues to say, "Before we do anything else, I want to see whether or not you can truly match the force of a Venerate Dao power." "Then counter this." Cain promptly took the challenge. Heaven-shattering lightning arcs instantly condensed around his fingers. Small twinkling stars brighter than cosmic stars intertwine with powerful lightning arcs. A profoundly dense force superimposed on top of the arcs of lightning. Cain flicked his lightning fingers at light speeds. The world gleamed a dazzling flash as a twinkling lightning sword light soared straight at Saint Hero Kong. 'Damn!' The swirling atmosphere of law principles genuinely pushed back the rippling Dao principles and force Saint Hero Kong's Venerate Dao aura to shake. His base state can't withstand this Holy King's lightning sword light. In that instant, Saint Hero Kong's Venerate Dao aura rapidly rose, the force of his Dao principles exponentially increasing to match Cain's swirling law principles. Sharp, dazzling golden sword Dao lights condensed around his fingers. The world of lightning flashes was matched by the sharp lights of Venerate Dao Sword Laws. Saint Hero Kong flicked his sword finger at the same time, unleashing a sword light straight at the lightning sword light. 'Bang!'

Chaotic divine explosions shook the entire sky. Powerful winds of shockwaves shattered space in numerous spots, Holy King Law power chaotically clashed against powerful Venerate Dao principles! The divine flash rapidly cleared away. A suffocating silence preceded as all other Heavenly Venerates couldn't take their eyes off either Cain or Saint Hero Kong. It didn't matter that Saint Hero Kong was only using a causal Dao move. Just a blink of Saint Hero Kong's eyes can exude a force to make half-step Heavenly Venerates drop to their knees! Using his true Dao force and failing to suppress the causal attack of Cain spoke volumes. Saint Hero Kong stayed silent, his thoughts in a jumbled mess. His mind felt weird. Looking into a Holy King that can match his Venerate Dao power, he started to wonder...started to doubt just where his talents lie. At the same time, Elder Qin's gaze only became more intent after that causal exchange. He couldn't rid of his suspicions and concerns. Especially since it appears that the trio seemingly had some sort of relations with Basilik City. Even in Great Marvel City, random geniuses appearing with masks and showcasing talents beyond belief was a call for suspicion. "Your talents are indeed horrifying. But how can we just trust you to enter our Duke's palace? Your background and intentions are unknown to us." Elder Qin's tone turned colder by the second. It was evident that he had something malicious plan for the trio despite their amazing talent.
