The Chaos Dragon Prince

921 Desire

It was a path above all Primal Sovereign geniuses, above all Heavenly Venerates, above all Demi-Gods, above even the most powerful natural storms within outer space! On this path, anything would be possible. A single little concept can expand beyond belief, condensing into a form that can take the size of an entire universe. Something like this was primordial, the very start of something where all lower beings below can only kneel in prayers. Cain wasn't quite sure what to call this. But he truly felt he was staring into the path to not just surpass the universe, but also be an existence that can create anything with ease! His eyes soon engrossed into a magical trance. A slightly less intense, but still considerable magical trance glistened out of Kali and Luo Na. ... Within one of the highest chambers of the Duke's Palace. Here was nothing out of the ordinary in the slightest. There was nothing else in this chamber besides generic scatters of Dao runes and a pedestal holding a gleaming crystal ball at the center. Two divine people stayed crowded around the gleaming crystal ball. Both men are superior existence above nearly all other cultivators throughout Great Marvel City. Their eyes alone can inspire fear, a blink would instantly turn hundreds of other Heavenly Venerates' souls into ashes. The man holding onto the crystal ball had an intentionally shorter stature than the norm as a heavy layer of coat weighed down on his shoulder. His face was nearly hidden by the heavy coat, creating a chilling presence for even Heavenly Venerates. The divine man next to him was one of the strongest Supreme Elders of the Duke Palace, Elder Zhelan. An intent look blazed in Elder Zhelan's as he stared into the Peak Stage Heavenly Venerate back. Seconds of silence passed, and the tension turned thicker than the ocean. Right at that moment, the crystal suddenly dazzled a silver light. The elder's eyes slightly widened. He slowly pulled back, his eyes not moving off the crystal ball as he said, "These days really are strange. Getting a response from the Scarlet Intelligence Network shouldn't take this long. But in any case, I do have some news you need to know about." "Oh?" Elder Zhelan narrowing his eyes was like a brewing thunderstorm. The pressure he exuded could instantly crush Late Stage Heavenly Venerates in only a matter of seconds. The other elder had to calm himself with soul power. For whatever reason, he could tell what he said next would be tremendously important. He began to speak in a slow, but clear voice. "A spread of rapid-fire news is making the frontline from the central region to the rest of the core region. The news is detailing that three genius youths are mortal enemies of the Grand Sword Sect, Supreme Soul Void Sect and the Divine Frost Time sect. They are wanted by them alive and are giving out immense rewards to anyone who can capture the trio. The news has an outline of the youth's facial appearance. But more importantly, the news is detailing that the three have Holy King and Primal Sovereign cultivation bases but have combat prowess far beyond any Monarch Grandmaster. And that the only young man of the group has a strange movement ability that can allow him to phase right through the power of Heavenly Venerates." "..I see..." Elder Zhelan struggled to keep his surging emotions in check. He nearly blurted out loud from the other elder's words. A trio of geniuses with one man that can not only face cultivators far beyond their realm but also move out of a Heavenly Venerate grasp? Even without knowing how the trio truly looks like it, wouldn't that description just perfectly fit the masked trio they have? Elder Zhelan's eyes narrowed. A build-up of pressure weighed down on his mind. If this news were to leak into his city, then all hell would break loose! Those who are suspicious and jealous of the trio would more than likely conspire to have them captured or taken out as they cannot be truly controlled. The easiest route would be just to hand them over. Gaining the favor of three of the Grand Four Sects simply seems like a blessing for any other organization. However, Elde Zhelan is an ambitious and cunning man. He's already millions of years old with plans to still one day transcend past the heaves. Unlike other cultivates intimidated by the Grand Four Sects, Elder Zhelan was unwilling to stay under their thumbs, following all of their rules without a second thought just to keep his life was not his heart towards martial cultivation! To resist supreme forces like the Grand Four Sects, it would take a force of nature the entire Heavens have never seen in history. That all would come with the mysterious masked trio. An Early Primal Sovereign fighting a Heavenly Venerate should simply be impossible. Two Early Holy Kings fighting any Heavenly Venerate is a thought that would get others killed. Losing such monstrous talents like this was not Elder Zhelan's plan. Numerous thoughts ran through Elder Zhelan's mind. His heart became calmer and clearer as he slowly said, "Zhu, did you absolutely make sure that you and only you had received this news before anyone else? Word has not reached our Palace's Head Leader and supreme ancestors, correct?" "Yes. The only people in this region who know of this news are you and I." Dazzling Dao light that Elder Zhu could not look away from radiated out of Elder Zhelan's pupils. An unfathomable power flowed from the Dao light, and the essence of the power directly phased into Elder Zhu's soul. "Ah!" Elder Zhu's body and mind tremble. The slave seal Elder Zhelan had once planted in his soul's core had finally activated. Absolute reverence and devotion filled Elder Zhu's entire being. He smashed to the ground with one knee, directly declaring, "What are your orders master?"

"Here." Elder Zhelan flicked out a slave seal symbol towards Elder Zhu. The slave seal itself exuded an irresistible might that could instantly converge any Primal Soverigens into submission. With his face not changing expressions for even a second, Elder Zhelan continue to say, "Use that seal to find the others who have my mark hidden in their souls. Activate it when you are near them and alone. From there, you and the others will do your utmost might to suppress every ounce of this news. This must never be leaked out to the public under any circumstances. No matter if I am becoming a sinner, this is for the greater good of the entire Great Marvel City." It would be unthinkable for the citizens, Saint Heros, and even other elders to think one of their leading supreme elders is using such an insidious art as the Slave Seal skill. Their moral beliefs and their divine wills toward cultivation find demonic paths and vicious arts as evil and unjust. None of Great Marvel City's cultivators should ever even think about cultivating it. But Elder Zhelan knew he was always different from the rest. He has love for his entire city but is unwilling to accept just being under higher forces' thumbs forever. Thus, he knew it was time to be decisive, not hesitant. "Understood, master. I will get going now." Elder Zhu respectfully nodded before vanishing into the void space. Left with his own thoughts, Elder Zhelan began to ponder. 'At some point, I will need to discuss with them about this situation. Their cultivation needs to grow tremendously fast, but, to gain our best resources, they need support from all elders, our Leader, and our ancestors. Given their talent, creating a Divine Cultivation Art shouldn't be too hard. From there, we can begin to make plans.' A fiery flame of determination burst through Elder Zhelan's soul. He knows this will be the day when the Heavens will be forcefully changed into an entirely new era. ... Time swiftly passed in Great Marvel City. A rising rumor began flowing through the city during these last recent weeks. That is about a set of three new geniuses ready to become special Saint Heros of the Duke's Palace. The most boggling thing about this rumor was the fact that these new heroes wouldn't even be in the Heavenly Venerate realm! Many disciples, whether they were outer, inner, or core, find it hard to believe any of these rumors. Some felt outright disdain for whoever was trying to start these rumors.

All Saint Heros are Heavenly Venerate geniuses, why would there suddenly be three not in the Heavenly Venerate realm? Nobody entertained the thought that these new heroes could have Heavenly Venerate prowess without being a Heavenly Venerate. That's just an impossibility in their eyes. However, there were some curious that some event may be happening soon since the rumors were coming out of the Duke's Palace.
